Healing Cavities

8:05 AM Unknown 0 Comments

Did you know cavities don't need to be drilled and filled? They can actually heal. For some reason, despite research (just one source: Mellanby M, Pattison CL. The Influence of a Cereal-Free Diet Rich in Vitamin D And Calcium on Dental Caries in Children. British Medical Journal 1932; 1(37): 507-510.) that supports the healing of cavities, almost no one knows this and it is nearly impossible to find a dentist that will admit it.

Well Aellyn has a cavity and I'm so reluctant to go to the dentist because I don't feel like arguing with a doctor. Do you know they now use general anesthesia on little kids to fill cavities? Did you know the sealants they use are BPA (or just as harmful BPS if it says "BPA-free") and flouride? I'm sure to have to argue about flouride to someone who doesn't know or won't admit its link to cancer, lower IQ, and infertility.

Sometimes I just don't want to argue.

So my options are to drive 3 hours to a holistic dentist (who probably won't take my insurance) or heal Aellyn's teeth naturally. I'm going to give the latter a go.

Here's what we're going to try:

1. Daily cod liver oil/butter oil blend


2. Buy only grass-fed, raw butter (as soon as I can find a source)


3. Add a high-dose vitamin D supplement


4. Add calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous to her diet


5. Limit grains (this one's hard!) and sugars

Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted.
