My 4 year old girl had been suffering from pain in her two teeth, one in the left and one on the right. Tooth decay. I had put clove oil on her painful teeth as first aid relief. I badgered my wife to bring her to the biological dentist Dr. Gaba to heal her pain.
This 10am our 4 year old girl had her first dental appointment and had a tooth cavity fixed and filled. She was brave. No fear. Dentist was pleased.
This example hammered the points of the Cure Tooth Decay book by Rami Nagel about the real cause of tooth decay. My wife and I had been debating this issue for quite some time. My wife is an extreme tooth brusher. She believes in tooth brushing and flossing… very thoroughly… yet this concept is false. And just as Rami Nagel wrote in his book, it is sugar spikes, too much carbs from excessive fruits and excessive rice that was the culprit to our 4 year old child’s multiple teeth decaying.
This child of ours eats sweet fruits (rambutan) in the morning for breakfast… but mid morning she eats rice with cooked animal food… then at lunch rice again with cooked animal food… by mid afternoon snack she eats sweet fruits again (rambutan lately)… then dinner there are times she eats soup and rice only. Talk about carbohydrate overdosing.
Don’t look at me, I’m not the one buying those extremely abundant rambutans… I buy the fatty meats these days… not the fruits.
This child is very very good at tooth brushing and flossing… bzzzzzz… wrong answer to tooth decay… I told you so… and this had to happen only to drive the point across that tooth brushing and flossing does not prevent tooth decay. Tooth brushing and flossing is cosmetic… not functional.
So finally both my wife and I are on the same page, cut out rice. We made the 2 younger kids choose… give up rice or give up fruits? Give up rice.
Clamp down on the sweet fruits! Rambutan is too sweet. When you eat a sweet fruit you pair it with fat like avocado or raw egg yolks so it does not cause tooth decay. The only fruits I buy lately are high vitamin c native guavas and durians.
I have no problems with my 8 year old boy I’m handling now, he has been rice less a few weeks now on the Daddy treatment for his malnutrition.
Good that durians are in season now, it is sweet and fat at the same time, no overeating on this fruit, it fills you up real fast because it is FAT.
A clear path towards paleo diet for all children is in clear view. My wife is now on board.
