Hidden Monosodium Glutamate

Hidden Monosodium Glutamate

Consuming unnatural forms of monosodium glutamate (MSG) may alter your endocrine gland balance. This can disrupt your body’s ability to regulate the homeostasis required to allow your parotid gland to send signals for your teeth to remineralize. Viewed from this perspective, MSG may be a contributing factor in tooth decay. Most store-bought soups, sauces and broth mixes contain MSG. MSG shows up secretly in product labels under different names. Avoid products containing the following ingredients: Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP), Textured Protein, Yeast Extract, Autolyzed Plant Protein, and anything with the word glutamate, or glutamic.

Sweet Drinks

Health food stores are loaded with sweetened and protein-fortified vegetable and fruit juices. Most of these products are pasteurized and therefore skeletonized foods. Avoid pasteurized vegetable and fruit juices. Sweet drinks from the store are loaded with sugar. They provide empty calories and are not a part of a healthy diet. Here and there a naturally sweetened drink will not do you much harm if you do not have cavities. But these foods are not for people trying to stop tooth decay. Watch out in particular for sports drinks and sweetened tea. Replace these with unsweetened tea, raw milk, whey or kefir.

Kombucha is a popular health tonic. It has a wonderful array of nutrients and probiotics. While it is a great beverage, I recommend people who are trying to stop cavities to avoid it. Typically kombucha available commercially has a sugar content that is too high, as not all of the sugar has been digested by the bacteria and yeast organisms. Just to be clear, kombucha, especially home-made or the equivalent where most of the sugar is fermented is a life-promoting drink. It just does not work well if you are trying to stop tooth decay.

Tooth Decay Treatment

Tooth Decay Treatment The treatment of tooth decay depends on the extent and severity of the problem. If the decay has just begun, the dentist may apply a solution of fluoride to stop the decay process. If the decay has progressed further, the dentist may need to drill away the decayed material or even remove the tooth. A small area of tooth decay is filled with a silver alloy, a composite resin, gold, or porcelain. Dentists call a filling a dental restoration. If much of the tooth must be removed, the dentist will drill away the top of the tooth and replace it with what is called a crown or a cap. If the tooth decay has affected the pulp in the center of the tooth and destroyed the nerve endings, the dentist removes the pulp along with any decayed portions of the tooth and fills the center of the tooth with a sealing mate- rial. This procedure is called a root canal. If the tooth is badly decayed, was broken in an accident, or is likely to cause trouble in the future, the dentist w...

Weston Price's Tooth Decay Curing Protocol

Weston Price's Tooth Decay Curing Protocol Ultimately choosing the best diet rests in your hands. I will discuss several protocols for remineralizing tooth decay. But first we will examine Dr. Price's highly effective nutrition protocol. In a long term experiment with seventeen individuals who had severe tooth decay, the number of teeth with active decay was reduced 250 times using Dr. Price’s nutritional program. In this group, approximately half of all teeth had been affected by decay prior to the nutritional program. After the nutritional program, only two new cavities formed in the entire group within a three-year period, which is a recurrence rate of 0.4%. 35 Dr. Price wrote: This form of nutritional control of dental caries is so satisfactory that I can recommend it with confidence as adequate to control well over 95 per cent of dental caries. 36 In twenty seven cases of severe tooth decay in children, the diet that follows was sufficient to stop cavities in ...

Tips for Going out to Eat

Tips for Going out to Eat Many of us go out to eat, especially those of you who are busy and will be following the one-amazing-meal-a-day plan. The minimal goal of restaurant eating is to enjoy nourishing and tasty foods that will not set you back in your tooth or gum healing process. The restaurants that are thoroughly engaged in whole-food, nutrient-dense cooking with high quality ingredients tend to be the most expensive. The style of their cuisine typically has at least some inspiration from traditional French cooking. These restaurants do not use excess grains to fill you up with low-cost calories, and you can expect local ingredients, grass-fed meats, and wild caught fish. Many of them understand the value of organ meats and serve sweetbreads, liver, oysters and clams. Expect to pay $20-30 or considerably more per adult. I recommend that you avoid pasta or grain-based dishes from these restaurants. If you are the type of person who can afford to dine this way regularly, why not...
