Hi, I would like to know more about the grape diet and if anyone else can give advice on how the body can heal itself - teeth related. Thanks. abb

You are taking great health risks by not having an abscess attended to by your dentist.  Prolonging dental treatment could be very dangerous to your general health, in particular to your heart and to your immune system.  Fasting will not, as you say, "regenerate a cavity."  

In conversations with people in Siberia, who utilize alternative medicine frequently because conventional is often non-existent, they warned me against fasting.  One said he'd tried it and suffered tooth decay as a result.  I think if your fasting is short and infrequent, it may be doing you some good in certain ways.  Over the long term, I found fasting detrimental in numerous ways.  The first fast I did, of about three days, seemed to help clear out my system.  However, at that time my eating habits were really very "average" (i.e., awful).  Subsequent fasts of up to ten days also helped, but each time, my body responded differently.  Fasting probably provokes and exacerbates adrenal exhaustion, and that can lead to muliple problems.  I currently no longer fast.

In the book "The Complete Master Cleanse" by Tom Woloshyn he started the Master Cleanser immedietatly after he was told about a needed root canal.  Within days of fasting w/ no meds he returned to the dentist and no longer needed the procedure.  I think he still has his tooth.  So now we have two testimonials on this cure.  To the denstist he is right and we should error on the side of caution when it comes to bacterial infections, but if you have a few days to wait and see anyway, hey why not?  Fasting is safe and a phenominal health tool for most people, although if you suffer from adrenal exhaustion or malnutrition, or a few other poor health conditions then it it not a good time for a person to fast.  Also there are important rules to follow in regards to how long and how often.  The Master Cleanser is an awesome fast, I highly recommend the book.

Your both right, the infection should be removed from your body as soon as you can and not feeding the bacteria will lesson the pain of an infection. Makes sense that the reduction of food will help an infection heal because the excess food in that location for to long caused the infection in the first place, the problem with teeth is there is probably a defect in the tooth or bone that retains the food now which opens the body up to more problems, you can be very diligent with your diet and limit this from being a problem, but fixing the food trap will only make your life a lot easier. Now this being said just because you may go a few years without pain doesn't mean the infection isn't progressing under the radar. I've seen an infection take 26 years to cause a patient pain, he had been hit 19 years prior to me seeing him that gave the bacteria a place to hide in his tooth(infection from trauma happens all over the body) and when teeth die from trauma their death can be very sporadic as far as timing goes.  Because there is no food being stuck down in a whole in the tooth the infection usually progresses very slowly but the remaining nerve tissue and blood vessels become the food. Long story short, he lost four teeth instead of one and also lost part of his jaw. Don't get me wrong, I still believe the diet is the best tool for health, but once there is a hole in your body for bacteria to hide from your immune system this must be addressed otherwise the bacteria will get you. It may take 26 years but they are going to win the war, it's just up to us to win all the battles.  Eat a balanced meal, make sure your water is slightly alkaline and remember even penicillin is bad for you if you take it all the time.  In fact everything is bad for you if the word constant is put in front of it!!! If there is damage to your body, get it fixed and please know that your diet caused the problem, if you can tear up what God gave you how can you expect a dentist do better work than God.

I wonder who gave you negative points.  I'm going to try EFT too!  Thank you for sharing this!

I am trying to give you points to get out of negative.  :) Probably came from mainstream dentists..hehe

Thank you, Cheryl, for this information!  It is really nice to know about licorice root--which I have incidentally just started taking to help with adrenal exhaustion, which in turn may have been the cause of my recent tooth decay.  The second site provides me more hope for recovery of what I've lost!

Thx for these very helpful websites..well they would be..BUT when I went to both these websites..it said "we're sorry there is no website to match your entry" and "this page is not found".   Looks like the "powers that be" don't  like the thought of losing dental income huh?  Kinda like the websites to suggest cleaner cheaper alternative forms of fuel. Those websites are.shut down overnight too.

The good news is..if they shut down these sites, this stuff must really work huh?  :)
