The One-Amazing-Meal-a-Day Protocol

The “One-Amazing-Meal-a-Day” Protocol

This is a useful introductory protocol for people who want to make a good dent against tooth decay (pun intended), but who have difficulty instituting a complete dietary overhaul. How well your teeth remineralize is a factor of the mineral and fat-soluble vitamin density of your diet, along with the avoidance of foods that deplete your body of nutrients. This program is designed for someone who is very busy, does not like to prepare his own food, or in other situations when it is too difficult to have three or more solid meals per day. This program is not recommended for people who have severe cavities, tooth infections, or who are trying to heal highly sensitive teeth. This program will not be as effective as the balanced program discussed later on, but it will be effective for most people who want to prevent cavities, or heal small cavities naturally. This program is based on Weston Price’s one-good-meal-per-day diet for poor children that we described in chapter two. The goal of this program is to get most of your daily supply of vitamins and minerals from one superlative meal. In the other meals of the day you will need to watch out for the foods that cause the most havoc on your teeth, but you will be able to eat a wide variety of foods that are convenient for you. Reduce to the best of your ability other foods on the just-mentioned “avoid” list.

Food Intake Suggestions
  • ½ teaspoon two or three times per day of Green Pasture’s™ Blue Ice™ Royal Blend
  • 2 cups of grass-fed, whole-fat raw milk, kefir, clabber, or yogurt or 4 ounces of raw grass-fed cheese. For non-dairy alternatives you will need about 3 cups of a variety of cooked green vegetables.
  • Nourishing meat and/or fish stew made with a gelatin-rich broth prepared by simmering animal bones. Many of the ingredients listed below can be included in your stew.
  • 2-8 ounces of high-quality land or sea protein.
  • Vitamin C-rich foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, mustard greens, cabbage, sauerkraut, kohlrabi, liver and adrenal glands.
  • Plenty of other vegetables.
  • Twice per week choose one shellfish or other organ of land animals to include with your meals. Examples:
    • Oysters, clams, crab or lobster (consumed with innards), whole crayfish
    • Fish eggs
    • Bone marrow added to your soup, or liver, animal tongue or kidneys from any animal

If you cannot have a meat or fish stew, you will want to have a cup gelatin-rich bone broth on the side with tender cuts of your favorite meats, or rich seafoods. Have plenty of healthy fats with your meals.

During your other meals you will need to avoid foods that are especially harmful to your teeth including highly sweetened drinks, foods with high fructose corn syrup or other high intensity sweeteners, whole grains that are not thoroughly soured, oatmeal, breakfast cereals and soy products. If you choose to eat bread, make it sourdough whenever possible. Choose white rice (or white rice products), or partially milled rice over brown rice (or brown rice products) in this introductory program since brown rice takes more care to disable the substantial amounts of phytic acid it contains. Consider replacing sweetened desserts with fruit.

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...
