I have been using the tooth powder. I had receding gums and very sensitive teeth. My gums seem to be healing and the sensitivity is greatly diminished. I think Uncle Harry's tooth powder is very high quality and effective.

I haven't read it but I really want to and I would like to try her techniques on my children with allergies/eczema. Hi Wendy,

Thorne Research has a liquid version so it's easy to control the dose. I only mention this since the Price foundation came out with the article identifing Activator X as being K2. For some, healing the gut takes some time and adding the supplement is needed for a time until the body gets it all from food. I do wonder if you make kefir like the "kefir sodas" in Sally Fallons book "Eat Fat Lose Fat" wouldn't also help get the good flora in the intestinal tract like the dairy kefir to help the body that way. I'm looking for anyway to get "good stuff" in a 6 yr old "autistic spectrum, picky eater"!

Enamel can grow back or it can not? I was under the impression that once enamel wears away from the teeth it is all down hill from there.... Does anyone have any thoughts? Whether children or adult....is it really possible to regrow enamel? I've always had very white teeth my entire life. One year I realised I was putting way to much apple cider vinegar in my homemade salad dressings....Then I noticed that my enamel had worn away a LOT! Thankfully I had pretty healthy teeth my whole life....so even at 38 my teeth still naturally look white...but I am not happy about the wear.... So any ideas would be cool! blessings, Swan What is the consensus… Enamel can grow back or it can not?

She had bone cancer as a young girl and suffered severely with the treatment of it but survived. She tells me she used to sneak flouride pills. Ate them by the dozen cause they tasted nice to her. Not sure if there is correlation but it sparked my interest. I'd suggest intensive research before using flouride. I have seen tooth decay heal in children, my own child. The discolouration remained but new enamel grew over the carie. This was just by adding raw milk to the diet. A friend of mine has struggled with different forms of cancer her whole life.

His front two teeth started decaying not long after they came through. From what I have read, children's teeth harden during their first year after coming through but your son seems to have got some decay on it before it has hardened. You can get a product from Dentists called "Tooth Mousse" which contains calcium/phosphate to help strengthen the teeth. However it is dairy based and my son is allergic so my dentist recommended using a herbal toothpaste as they generally contain some calcium in them as well (read the ingredients). He advised against using fluoride toothpaste as children tend to swallow it. We are also using Schussler Tissue Salts - Calc Phos - which is a homeopathic remedy which also helps strengthen teeth. I also give my son Cod Liver Oil plus a liquid multivitamin/mineral formula. This seems to be working for us as his teeth don't seem to be getting any worse. I have the same problem with my son.

Or, if your not opposed, most orthodontists sell a high concentration flouride paste. I think perhaps putting a dab of the gel on the molar could stop further decay. I realize the Weston Price diet goes against flouride, but I think it will work. Since he wont let you brush with a toothbrush, is it possible its a stain in the fissure? Or is it on a smooth surface? I think maybe adding vitaming butter to your sons diet could help. Or, if your not opposed, most orthodontists sell a high concentration flouride paste.

I saw a tiny brown dot on his top molar. The molar only erupted about a month ago! And we've been trying to follow the Weston Price diet closely...Cod liver oil every day since he was eight months old, organic chicken or beef liver each week, bone soup each week, no juice and any sweets, and all home made food prepared freshly by me (not processed food), raw qephor and breastfeed often. He doesn't drink a lot of raw milk, but I do. I don't know why he can still have cavity on the tooth that only erupted a month ago. I tried to clean his teeth twice a day with a wash cloth (he won't let me do the regular brush nor the baby brush). But I though with proper nutrition, the brushing is the main cause of the problem. I don't want to take him to the dentist for filling since he's not complaining any pain. Any suggestion or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I have a number of badly decayed teeth which I can't afford to fix at the moment but taking at least 4g of Vitamin C a day (4 x 1000mg tablets) helps stop them hurting or getting infected. If they are infected take at least 8g a day (half in morning, half at night). This is completely safe, I am following this routine while I am pregnant as I also don't want to have dental work done until after I give birth.
