My teeth have been problematic my whole life, but I noticed they have been getting worse since eating 80/10/10 about 90-95% (and always keeping low-fat) for the past 6-7 weeks. I started questioning whether or not I should eat fruit. It hurt when I did, even if it was just a smoothie. I've noticed a LOT of holes on my teeth, along with increased pain and sensitivity. I will add that I had also been brushing with water most of the time the past 3 weeks, instead of paste.
After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that I can stay on the low-fat raw diet, but must make some adjustments in the beginning. They include brushing with paste/soap after every meal, using straws, taking a calcium + vitamin D supplement, getting more sunshine, and increasing mineral intake via supplements and dark leafy greens.

Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI was on 80/10/10 for over 9 months and eating close to 100% organic produce, lots of greens and brushing whenever possible and still developed numerous cavities and other dental problems.
To my disapointment, these cavities are NEW and a result of a high-fruit diet it seems.
80/10/10 works for some, but not everyone :(
Good luck!
Ahhh, I would love to know more. What are you eating now? You did 100% 811? Why did you go on 811? Did you noticed benefits?
ReplyDeleteWater is not a bad idea, many people use only water. Think about it, the soap is killing bacteria off, but if you have a great bacterial balance in your mouth, it shouldn't be that big of a problem. As long as one swishes and removes the leftover fruit particles, if you want, brush a bit later on. Also, I am not sure on the oil pulling, it may be bogus. As you know, flouride is a neurotoxin, and calcifies your pineal gland necessary for endocrine function and spiritual perception. You mix 10 things together, how are you going to know what works? Once you get stable again eliminate what you can . Don't think using water only is deficient, by the way.
ReplyDeleteWell when I started just using water, I started having problems. So, for now, it's not a good idea. maybe some day when my body/bacteria are in balance.
