The 7+ Habits of Highly Nutritious People

2006-04-20T13:09:00.000-07:00

1. Eating fermented foods and drinking fermented beverages daily. Nutrious people know that a key aspect to a healthy body is your intestines. They benifit from a constant supply of benificial pro biotic bacteria's to digest food.Two cups of the lacto-fermented Beet Kvass per day, and one cup of Kombucha per day. Rejuvelac is also a great fermented beverage. Fermented foods can be saurerkraut, pickles, sweetpotatoes, kim chi and so on.

2. Eat High Vibrational Foods. Healthy people eat foods that are very fresh and from the highest quality source. This means that they eat organic fruits and vegetables, and animal products that are only from farm's producing free ranging animals that eat grass and are humanely treated.

3. Avoiding Toxic, and nutrient depleting foods. Most commerically made foods, even organically labeled foods contain little to no nutrients. Many foods also contain additivies which put a great strain on the bodies purification system's, such as the liver. Nutritious people go to great lengths to avoid processed foods that are mentioned below.

4. Eating Right for your body. Nutritious people listen to their body and to their gut when they are selecting the foods they eat, and the method of preparing them. Some people, need to eat a majority of foods that are well cooked, and bland. Other people, need to eat a majority of their foods raw. Some people need to abstain from animal products, other's need to indulge in animal products.

5. High Energy Supplimentation. Nutrious people seek out suppliments that add missing nutrients to their diet. Such suppliments are herbs, wheat grass, various naturally vitamins, cod liver oil, and high vitamin butter oil.

6. Use food as Medicine and Not as a Stimulant. Nutrious people understand, either mentally, or physically what healthy nutrition is about. They do not fear eating foods which could be healthy for them, and they also know during certain times to avoid different foods. They honor their bodies needs, and sometimes they do not eat at all when they are sick. Nutrious people do not abuse food. They do not overconsume stimulating foods like chocolate, or coffee, or junk foods. They do not over eat, and they chew their food slowly and throughouly being mindful of the eating process.

7. Eating Highly Nutricious Foods. Highly Nutrious people know that almost everything they eat needs to be overflowing with vitamin content. Whether it be properly prepared lentils, rice, quinoa, fish eggs, organ meets, or butter, Nutrious people are eating foods rich in water soluable, and fat soluable vitamins.

In the modern world, we have become lost and disconnected. We are sort of like isolated particles floating around in a vast space, trying to bring some sort of meaning to our meaningless existence. This paper summarizes how this affliction affects child raising. Most child raising practices are not based on the Natural principles of life encoded in our DNA. This is a review and a taste of some critical child raising practices and their deep positive impact on the family. The primary focuses are special nutritional factors that support a healthy pregnancy, the avoidance of toxic substances, and ways to create a natural bond between the mother and child. These nutritional factors, and efforts to create healthy bonding with children, are rare in the Western world. A variety of complications related to Pregnancy, Conception and Birth are a result not of a genetic dysfunction, but from a build up of toxins in the body and from the previously mentioned deficiency of certain nutritional factors. Sadly, this information is largely hidden from the public and doctors largely are unaware of it, yet it’s influence on the child and parents are extremely significant. You will learn key points to how our ancestors naturally raised children, by holding them close to their skins, for their early years of life. Other conditions are discussed from a holistic perspective, they include Infertility, diet after birth, the birth process, midwifes, self care, motherhood, dietary myths, circumcision, vaccinations, morning sickness, natural cleansing, miscarriage, breastfeeding, self care, slings, schooling, fatherhood, and natural healing.

Causes of Toothache

2005-12-24T17:01:00.000-08:00

Toothache’s
A toothache means that the there is leak of the boundary between the inner part of the tooth called the pulp where the nerve is located, and the environment of the mouth. I was told that this can be caused by the wearing away of the filaments which bond the tooth into the jaw bone under the gum line. A tooth ache also means that your tooth is likely demineralizing. The outer layer of the tooth has become breached due to a loss of minerals from the surface.

Summary of Causes and Treatments

The proper treatment for each person is different. These are just general guidelines. Please read the disclaimer at the bottom before attempting any treatment. Furthermore, more research may be needed for your specific condition. Herbs applied to the teeth are the simplest treatment with the greatest potential for results. Reverse Tooth Decay
Toxic Conditions -

Severe unresolved emotional upset, distorting the balance of organs in the body
Eating foods too high in acid such as soft drinks and vinegar and not rinsing mouth after
Eating sugar, sugar pulls calcium from the bones.
Eating foods that stick to teeth, honey improperly processed, sugar, flour products like crackers, bread, cereal ect. And dried fruit.
Bacteria level in mouth unbalanced due to both poor dental hygiene and an accumulation of toxins in the body, particularly the bowels and the liver.
The use of fluoride. Fluoride poisons the body and alter’s the chemical structure of the teeth and gums.

Deficiency –

Eating a diet not containing enough nutrients to restore balance to the tooth.

Treatments:

Cleanse the body through fasting, bowel cleanses, and liver cleansing
Eliminate flour and sugar from the diet, unless flour is prepared at home and is both freshly ground and soaked over night in an acidic medium. Sugar should only be consumed as Really Raw Honey, Organic Grade B Maple Syrup, Rapadura (naturally processed organic sugar) and Stevia.
Rinse acid’s from the teeth with water. If you ingest something acidic, sip water after wards.
Eliminate fluoride sources
Eliminate toothpaste as toothpaste contains glycerin and prevents the tooth enamel from remineralizing
Replace tooth paste with tooth powder and herbs, Organic Soap that doesn’t contain Glycerin, Or Celtic Sea salt or Himalayan sea salt. You can also try organic mouthwash with essential oils or herbs.

Holistic Dental Herbal Tooth and Gum Powder
Any other herbal tooth formula at a natural food store.
You can leave the herbs on the teeth and gums for several hours, the nutrients and healing factors from the herbs diffuse into the tooth and gum

Tooth Cleansing

Brush teeth three times per day after meals
Floss three times per day with Dental Tape
Use an oral irragtor such as a water pik on the low setting’s to clean under the gum line.

If you follow these procedures completely and religiously, the tooth ache should cease almost immediately.

Raising Your Child Naturally vs. Western Child Raising Practices

2005-12-07T22:39:00.000-08:00

The Mother as our matrix

From approximately birth to age two, the undeveloped ego of a baby has no sense of itself. She creates a sense of herself by becoming identified with his caregiver, his Mother. The child see's himself, as the mother, and that is the foundation of his ego, from which he'll use to explore and develop a healthy sense of himself and the world. If the mother is loving, nurturing, and always present, the the child forms and image of the world and of himself that he is loving, nurturing, and present. If this doesn't happen, the image of the world becomes that of a hostile and unloving place, and his sense of self will be incomplete, and his life will be innately troubled.

Diet for pregnant mothers, nursing mothers

Diet for woman prior to pregnancy, and diet for babies who are just beginning to eat.

Key Natural Child Raising Principles based on the Continuum Concept

constant physical contact with his mother from birth, preferably skin to skin.
breastfeeding "on cue" — nursing in response to his own body's signals breastfeeding normally lasts approximately three years
sleeping in his parents' bed, in constant physical contact, until he leaves of his own volition (often about two years)
being constantly carried in arms or otherwise in contact with someone, usually his mother, and allowed to observe (or nurse, or sleep) while the person carrying him goes about his or her business — until the infant begins creeping, then crawling on his own impulse, usually at six to eight months
Treating the child as part of the social system in a respectful and dignified way.

Child enjoy bonding with their father, Father and Son in the Kalahari desert.

Raising a content child through the Continuum Concept

A woman, Jean Liedloff, finds her way to a strange job offer which involved trolling through the jungles of South America. After several expeditions she notices in a strange moment of realization, while in the intense jungle heat, laboring hard physically, that her "primitive" Indian guides are laughing and cracking jokes constantly, have enormous amounts of energy, and never seem bored and restless. Lured by this strange awareness, she goes back to the jungles of the Amazon to live with these primitive people to discover the key to their happiness.

The Continuum Concept is essentially a set of child raising protocols which our bodies are genetically wired to follow. They can be seen every where in the animal kingdom, as well as in almost every primitive culture.

The tragedy of Western child rearing

For some strange reason, our culture be lives that torturing babies by ignoring them, abandoning them, starving them, and even performing medical procedures on them without anesthetic is normal or even good.

The worst child raising practice that I've seen is children who are strapped into strollers and baby seats who do not get the nurturing which they are genetically wired to receive. Meanwhile the caregivers ignore the babies signals of extreme pain through crying.

Common Practices which traumatize children and babies

traumatic separation from his mother at birth due to medical intervention and placement in maternity wards, in physical isolation and circumcision surgery;
at home, sleeping alone and isolated, often after "crying himself to sleep";
scheduled feeding, with his natural nursing impulses often ignored or "pacified";
being excluded and separated from normal adult activities, relegated for hours on end to a nursery, crib or playpen where he is inadequately stimulated by toys and other inanimate objects;
caregivers often ignoring, discouraging, belittling or even punishing him when he cries or otherwise signals his needs; or else responding with excessive concern and anxiety, making him the center of attention;
sensing (and conforming to) his caregivers' expectations that he is incapable of self-preservation, is innately antisocial, and cannot learn correct behavior without strict controls, threats and a variety of manipulative "parenting techniques" that undermine his exquisitely evolved learning process.

Early Childhood Caries, Understanding the Cause, and Treatments (Also applies to adults)

2005-12-07T22:05:00.000-08:00

Nutritional Deficiency, The Cause of Early Childhood Caries, and many times Adult Cavities and Gum Disease

Dear Parents,
My 21-month-old child has been subject to early childhood tooth decay for close to 8 months. As a parent, this can be a frustrating experience. One feels helpless and powerless over Nature’s immutable laws.
So I offer for you, the cause and possible cure of this difficult problem.
Tooth decay is not a mystery, especially when it comes to young children. Tooth decay is caused by a deficiency of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in the body needed to build healthy teeth. “Daily, the calcium and phosphate of the enamel is migrating out of the teeth to the bones, heart, brain and other places where it is needed. This is called by dentists demineralization.”1 Re-enamelization (teeth growing back) of enamel requires several factors, including enough minerals such as calcium, phosphate, magnesium, and the variety of enzymes needed to regrow tooth enamel such as adenosine diphophatase.2 Dr. Weston Price was a dentist who traveled around the world in the 1930’s and 1940’s studying the diet’s of primitive people’s isolated from the modern world. Weston Price found that he could eliminate or greatly reduce bad bacteria’s in the mouth which fuel the tooth degeneration process through diet. “These data are typical of clinical cases in which dental caries has been reduced apparently to zero, as indicated by both x-ray and instrumental examination.” 3

Reverse Cavities Naturally

Tooth decay begins many generations back. “The weakness of calcium deficiency is passed from parent to child. By following the same paternal pattern of ‘poor food selection,’ each new crop of babies becomes weaker. ‘The sins of the parents are passed on to the third and fourth generation.’”4 The weakness is caused not just by a lack of calcium, but by a lack of fat soluble & water soluble vitamins. “When Dr. Price analyzed the foods used by isolated primitive peoples he found that they provided at least four times the water soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals, and at least TEN times the fat soluble vitamins from animal foods such as butter, fish eggs, shellfish and organ meats… Many tribes required a period of premarital nutrition, and children were spaced to permit the mother to maintain her full health and strength, thus assuring subsequent offspring of physical excellence.” 5 Many primitive groups Dr. Price studied had a tooth cavity rate close to 0. Weston Price also noticed in groups following their traditional diet that decayed teeth either fell out painlessly, or they covered themselves over with a hardened layer of enamel. Weston Price treated many cases of cavities with a success rate of over 90%. At the end of this article is a copy of Dr. Price’s tooth decay controlling diet for children. On my website I’ve scanned an x-ray image showing how Price’s tooth decay controlling diet healed a girls teeth which had two cavities per tooth, which full dentures where recommended. 6
The importance of breastfeeding cannot be underestimated. During breastfeeding the mother passes vital nutrients to her child. It is also a source of warmth and physical and emotional contact for the child. Breastfeeding should be carried on as long as the child desires, which can be anywhere from two years to four and a half years in length. The breast milk of a mother who is charged with vitamins, minerals and nutrients, will delay or even prevent childhood tooth decay. Dr. Brian Palmer has extensively studied the question of whether infant dental decay is related to breast feeding. The answer is clearly, NO. 7 The worse thing you could do for your child with cavities is to stop breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is one of the main cures to childhood infant caries. It is possible to breastfeed and still have a child with cavities because either the child cannot absorb enough nutrients from food, or the mother does not have enough nutrients in her milk, or both. A breast-feeding mother should make every effort to increase her level of health through nutrition to help prevent cavities in her child. She can also follow Weston Prices tooth decay prevention diet.
Some children also have an inability to absorb certain nutrients. Even if a decent diet is maintained this may not be enough for such a child. This type of child needs highly absorbable forms of nutrients. The best sources are copious amounts of dark leafy green cooked vegetables, High Vitamin Butter Oil, and High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil.

How to Stop Tooth Decay

Processed sugar consumption is the cause of bone loss and dental decay. “Dr. Melvin Page, a Florida dentist, demonstrated in numerous studies that sugar consumption causes phosphorus levels to drop and calcium to rise. Calcium rises because it is pulled from the teeth and the bones… Thus, sugar consumption causes tooth decay not because it promotes bacterial growth in the mouth, as most dentist believe, but because it alters the internal body chemistry.” 8 In addition to sugar, the other main forces that contribute to tooth decay are flour products and acids on the teeth. “The thing most people don’t know is that [acids] also dissolve the teeth and bones.”9
White Sugar, evaporated Cane Juice, Corn Syrup, and Organic Cane Sugar – White Sugar is a skeletonized product, in order to have a long shelf life, all of it’s main constituents are removed.
Scientific evidence against sugar has been mounting for decades. As early as 1933 research showed that increased consumption of sugar caused an increase in various disease conditions in school children. Sugar, especially fructose, has been shown to shorten life in numerous animal experiments. In the 1950’s British researcher Yudkin published persuasive findings that excessive use of sugar was associated with the following conditions: release of free fatty acids in the aorta, increase in blood insulin levels, increase in blood corticosteroid levels, increase in gastric acidity, shrinkage of the pancreas and enlargement of the liver and adrenal glands. Numerous subsequent studies have positively correlated sugar consumption with heart disease… A survey of medical journals in the 1970s produced findings implicating sugar as a causative factor in kidney disease, liver disease, shortened life span, increased desire for coffee and tobacco, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease. 10 Finally sugar consumption was proved by Dr. Melvin Page to leech calcium out of our bones. 11 This is how sugar contributes to tooth decay, it has little to do with sugar resting on the surface of the tooth.
The vitamins and minerals needed to properly digest sugar are removed from sugar by various chemical processes. The purpose of removing these essential nutrients, is that with these nutrients removed, sugar has an almost limitless shelf life. It is used commonly in our food to mask foul flavors from chemical processing, and to preserve factory made foods. I believe that the denatured sugar which we eat, adheres to the law of balance. After having been sucked dry of all it’s life force, it enters the body and attempts to create it’s own homeostasis. The body, consisting of more life force than sugar, transfer’s it’s nutrients to the sugar, to bring it back into balance.
White Flour and Flour products - White flour has had it’s vitamin and mineral content removed to do it’s high level of rancidity. Freshly ground flour seldom stays good for more than two weeks even when it is refrigerated. To solve this problem, food manufacturer’s remove the vitamins and minerals from the flour to prevent it from going rancid. This was done with the selfish motive of profit for the food company, not in harmony with nature’s law of balance. “[I]n the production of refined white flour approximately eighty percent or four-fifths of the phosphorous and calcium content are usually removed, together with the vitamins and minerals provided in the embryo or germ. The evidence indicates that a very important factor in the lowering of the reproductive efficiency of womanhood is directly related to the removal of vitamin E in the processing of wheat.” 12 Because the vitamins in the flour create a synergistic effect on the body, there’s little chance that any of the phosphorous in the devitalized flour is absorbable.
Low cost Vegetable Oils and Hydrogenated Oil – It is important to understand that, of all substances ingested by the body, it is polyunsaturated oils that are rendered most dangerous by food processing, especially unstable omega-3 linolenic acid. In the old days oil was extracted with slow moving stone presses. In large factories seeds are heated to 230 degrees farenheit. The oil is then squeezed out at pressures from 10 to 20 tons per inch. In order to extract oil from the final pulp, chemicals are added such as hexane. The solvent is boiled but up to 100 part per million remain in the oil. The solvent is toxic, and it also bonds to toxic pesticides in the seeds. The high temperature processing causes the weak carbon bonds of the unsaturated fatty acids to break apart, thereby creating dangerous free radicals. The normal antioxidants to clean up the free radicals have been destroyed by the high temperature processing. And finally BHT and BHA, both suspected of causing cancer and brain damage are added to the oils to replace the lost natural preservatives which where destroyed by the heat processing. 13Any cheap oil, such as soy, corn, cottonseed, canola, ect. falls under this category. Still want to eat this oil?
Partially hydrogenated margarines and shortening are even worse for you than the highly refined vegetable oils from which they are made because of chemical changes that occur during the hydrogenation process. Man made trans fats are toxins to the body, but unfortunately your digestive system does not recognize them as such. Instead of eliminating them, your body incorporates the trans fats into the cell membranes as though they where naturally occurring fats called cis fats. Your cell actually become partially hydrogenated. This interferes with cellular metabolism because it changes the normal chemical reactions which take place in the cell. 14
Iodized Salt – Normal table salt is highly refined. Salt is the product of a chemical and high temperature industrial process that removes all the valuable magnesium salts as well as trace minerals naturally occurring in the sea. To keep salt dry, salt refiners adulterate this “pure” product with several harmful additives, including aluminum compounds. To replace the natural iodine salts that are removed during processing, potassium iodide is added in amounts that can be toxic. To stabilize the volatile iodide compounds, the processors add dextrose which turns the iodized salt a purplish color. A bleaching agent is then necessary to restore whiteness to the salt. Far different than natural sea salt, refined salt can lead to sodium starvation as well as an over stimulation of the glandular system contributing to a host of degenerative diseases. 15
Pasteurized Milk & powdered Milk – The milk sold in the supermarket is bad for everybody. The modern milk cow is a mutant cow which produces three to four times as much milk as a standard cow. This mutant cow has been selectively bred from cows who have active pituitary glands, and is then fed an excessively high protein diet. These overactive pituitary glands produce growth hormones, which are present in today’s milk supply. While small amounts of hormones in cows milk is okay, excessive pituitary hormones are also associated with tumor formation, and some studies link milk consumption with cancer. The freak pituitary cow is prone to many diseases. She almost always secretes pus into her milk and needs frequent doses of antibiotics. The high protein feed these cows eat is made from soy beans. This is not the cows natural diet, and there is no scientific information as to the quality of the protein in the soy fed milk. Pasteurizing milk is no guarantee of cleanliness. There was a salmonella outbreak in 1985 in Illinois affecting 14,000 people. Pasteurization destroys the helpful organisms found in raw milk, leaving the finished product devoid of any protective mechanism should undesirable bacteria inadvertently contaminate the supply. Heat alters the milk’s amino acids, it promotes rancidity of unsaturated fatty acids and destruction of vitamins. Vitamin C loss exceeds 50%, and other vitamin loss runs as high as 80%. Vitamin B-12 is totally destroyed. Milk comes with enzymes which help the body digest the milk. Pasteurization kills all of these enzymes. After pasteurization synthetic vitamin D-2 may be added which has been linked to heart disease. Because milk is devoid of its enzyme content, it puts an enormous strain on the body’s digestive mechanism. In the elderly, and those with milk intolerance or weak digestion, the milk passes through not fully digested and can build up around the tiny villi of the small intestine preventing the absorption of the vital nutrients and promoting the uptake of toxic substances.16
Soy Milk, Soy Meat, Soy Protein, Soy Formula and Tofu – Soy protein powder is high in mineral-blocking phytates, thyroid depressing phytoestrogens and potent enzyme inhibitors that depress growth and cause cancer. Phytates are substances that block the absorption of minerals in the body. Soybeans are high in phytates and contain potent enzyme inhibitors that are only deactiviated by fermentation and not by ordinary cooking. These inhibitors can lead to protein assimilation problems in those who consume unfermented soy product frequently. Soy milk often substituted for cow’s milk, also has a high phyatate content and can lead to mineral dieficiences. Phytoestrogens found in soy foods, although touted as panaceas for heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis, are potent endocrine disrupters as well as goitrogens – substances that depress thyroid function. 17
Unsoaked Grains and Nuts, including Cereal, Granola, Peanut Butter, Bread, and Pasta, Cracker’s and Cookies – Phosphorus in the bran of whole grains is tied up in a substance called phytic acid. Phytic acid combines with iron, calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc in the intestinal tract, blocking their absorption. Whole grains also contain enzyme inhibitors that can interfere with digestion. Whole grains that have been processed by high heat and pressure to produce puffed wheat, oats, and rice are actually quite toxic and have caused rapid death in test animals. Breakfast cerals can have more adverse effects on blood sugar then refined sugar and white flour because they have been processed at high temperatures and pressures to make their shapes. This process leaves phytic acid intact but destroys phytase, an enzyme that breaks down some of the phytic acid in the digestive tract. Most grains and legume available in supermarkets have been treated numerous times with pesticides and other sprays that inhibit mold and vermin. 18 I used to eat organic breakfast cereal, sometimes made with puffed wheat. These grain cereals did not have pesticides and other harmful chemical additives, as they where organic. However, being organic just meant that my toxic puffed oats where free of other possibly dangerous substances. Good thing I used organic! J
Non-Pasture Fed Meat & Eggs – The meat, milk, and eggs in our supermarkets are highly contaminated and vastly inferior in nutritional quality to those available to our ancestors just a few decades ago. Modern cattle-raising techniques include the use of steroids to make meat more tender and antibiotics that allow cattle to survive in crowded feedlots. Diseased animals routinely pass inspection and find their way into the food supply. Chicken are raised in crowded pens, often under artificial light both night and day and fed on substandard food. Their eggs are inferior in nutritional qualities to those of free-range, properly nourished hens. According to renowned cancer specialist Virginia Livingston-Wheeler, most chicken and nearly half the beef consumed in America today is cancerous and pathogenic. Her research has convinced her that these cancers are transmissible to man. 19

Curing Tooth Decay:
Tooth decay and tooth healing happens through two mechanisms. #1 From within the tooth from a toxic blood supply or a deficient blood supply to the tooth. #2 Defective saliva within the mouth. “I feel perfectly confident that both inside the tooth and outside on the surface new construction is occurring constantly, even if at a slow rate.” 20 “Nearly all tooth decay comes from the blood stream, saliva, and the inside of the teeth, not only from the external surface. The teeth deteriorate but it is from the toxic blood stream and the enamel-destroying toxic saliva which is the result of an impure blood stream.” 21
Germs are a secondary factor in child hood tooth decay. So even if the child’s teeth and mouth are totally clean and void of bacteria’s, the tooth will still decay. The tooth will still decay because there are not enough minerals in the body, primarily Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus, to create a new tooth surface. This also means if your child has tooth problems, that their overall body is both weak and depleted as the minerals are moving from the teeth to other more important parts.
In seemingly stopping the progress of cavities in my daughter’s teeth, the most helpful items have been: a daily supply of organic dark leafy green vegetables, like Kale (steamed/boiled with liquid ingested as well), naturally dehydrated Kombu (seaweed or Kelp), Activator X High Vitamin Butter Oil 22 mixed with High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil 23. *(Please consult your physician as to the proper amounts of Butter Oil and Cod Liver oil for your child. Too much of these substances can be dangerous as they have very high levels of fat soluble vitamins. Extreme care should be used with children under two years of age. )
Other important foods for the mother and child, which contain extremely high amounts of nutrients:

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Raw Butter from Grass Fed Cows
Raw Milk from pasture fed Goats and or Cows
Organ meets from Pasture Fed Animals
Farm Raised Eggs, especially the yolks
Oily fish, like salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel and anchovies
Fish eggs; fish liver oils, Fish Organs; Shellfish

Proper care of teeth:
Brush the child’s teeth often if possible. Absolutely do not use fluoride or give your child fluoride treatments. While these have some short term temporary benefits, fluoride changes the chemical structure of the tooth making it extra brittle. Fluoride is highly poisonous and most tubes of toothpaste contain a lethal amount of fluoride. It takes about ½ teaspoon of fluoride to kill a 100 lb. person. Dr. Dean Burk was a highly respected chemist who worked for the National Cancer institute. He testified before congress that he believed water fluoridation to have caused about 1/10 th of all cancer deaths. That’s 61,000 people per year. 24 Instead of toothpaste use tooth powder or tooth herbs or sea salt to brush your child’s teeth. Regular tooth paste contains glycerin which coats the teeth with a layer of goop that prevents the teeth from remineralizing. You can also use small amounts of soap on the child’s tooth brush to clean their teeth. This should not create any bad taste in the child’s mouth. The soap also kills bacteria’s. Herbal mouthwashes or herbal gum treatments can be helpful as well provided they are not swallowed.
In conclusion, you can brush your child’s teeth and subject your child to dental treatments. These are not cures, but simply treatments of the symptoms of childhood nutritional deficiency. In examining the diet of the mother and father before conception, and the mother during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you will likely find a history of a diet high in the foods which where to be avoided, and low in the foods containing the highest amounts of vitamins. The US RDA (recommended daily allowances) for food are the minimum requirements for survival. Weston Price found that people following primitive diets consume between four and ten times the amount of vitamins than the RDA. Four – Ten times recommended is what is required for a cavity free, healthy child. (Between 30-70% of America falls below the RDA) It is quite possible that most childhood illnesses, in addition to tooth decay, such as colicky babies are caused by nutritional deficiencies.
Take responsibility for your child’s health and feed them properly. Rebuilding bones can take up to one year, so don’t expect immediate results other than a more fulfilled, happier, smarter and more peaceful child. These changes go against the grain of society, and you might be tempted to only follow some. It’s much easier to ignore the true causes of illness, than to treat them. It’s hard work to make these changes, but it’s worth it. Please, do it for your family. I personally decided to not do any dental treatments to my child’s teeth. They don’t bother her and hopefully they’ll last at least another year until she’s old enough to receive normal dental treatments if they do start hurting her.
Please refer to my web site for more health information. and also the web site of the public health organization formed by Weston Price, http://www.westonaprice.org
Consider reading Nourishing Traditions By Sally Fallon.
I am praying that you and your child recover their health.

Weston Price’s Controlling Tooth Decay Diet

** This was a meal for children given once a day for children of approximately 8-14 years old, please modify accordingly for younger children and adults. Please consult a physician before giving cod liver oil or high vitamin butter oil to young children or infants as too high a dose of those vitamins can be toxic **

4 ounces of tomato juice or orange juice and a teaspoonful of a mixture of equal parts of a very high vitamin, natural cod-liver oil (1/2 tsp), and especially high vitamin butter oil (1/2 tsp) was given at the beginning of the meal. The child received a bowl containing a pint of very rich vegetable and meat stew made largely from bone marrow and fine cuts of tender meat. Plenty of yellow carrots in where in this soup. Cooked fruit with very little sweetening and rolls made from freshly ground whole wheat and spread with high vitamin butter. The wheat for the rolls where ground fresh every day in a motor driven coffee mill. Each child was given also 2 glasses of fresh whole milk. The menu was varied from day to day by substituting the meat stew for fish chowder or organs of animals. This one meal contained an entire days supply of Calcium, and double the normal supply of phosphorus. 25
