With The Coming of Modern Civilization, Comes Children's Tooth Decay
With the advent of modern technology, with its modern food and menacing drink, comes childhood tooth decay.
Modern foods include angel food cake, white bread, other white-flour products; also, canned marmalades, canned vegetables, sweetened fruit juices, jams, confections of every type.
Modern foods also include pasteurized fruit juices, and chemical concoctions known as infant formula. Many of these foods are laced with toxic chemicals.
Children Grow Rapidly
Especially during the ages of one to three years old, children experience the fastest growth of their life proportionate to the entire body size.
When the body grows rapidly, it needs an abudance of nutrients that are easily assimilated.
The problem is that our modern diet of commerce, and our modern dietary theories, deprive our children, and our nursing mother's of the very vitamins and minerals that our bodies are designed to need and utilize.
A Cultural Tragedy
It is a tragic state in our culture, that about 27% of all children under the age of 5 have at one time been affected with tooth decay.
It Begins Before Conception
The seeds of infant tooth decay begins prior to conception, in the vitamin content and overall health of the seeds of the parents-to-be. Cure Tooth Decay describes special foods to eat, prior to conception, during pregnancy, and during breastfeeding that will help prevent early childhood cavities. It's nature's multivitamins, which come from whole foods and not synthetic manufactured pills.

When my 4 year old daughter's teeth began to have lots of tooth decay (for her age), we visited a few dentists and all of them were blaming me that I did not brush her teeth enough. But I did... Basically, they wanted to do dental anesthesia on her and repair all her cavities at once. My husband and I talked and decided not to put her through this. After all, she had no pain at all and her teeth did not bother her.
I decided to take the matter into my own hands. I started researching about tooth decay, and stumbled upon Rami's web site. I even wrote to him, and he was very helpful. A while later, when his book was published, I bought it. I already knew about the diet from Rami's book, and I was implementing parts of it, but I guess that was not enough to protect my oldest daughter from tooth decay....
This book gave me hope for my daughter's teeth - and now I know that we are responsible for our health. I have also forgiven the dentists who kept showing me how to brush her teeth, I mean, they don't know better...When I asked one of the dentists if my daughter does not have enough nutrients in the body, and that's maybe why her teeth decay (because the body takes all the essential nutrients from the teeth first), he disregarded it and said this could not be the case because all her teeth are formed very well. I did not argue with him, because I knew he was not taught anything about diet in his medical school. I just stopped going to dentists and now I try my best to follow the diet (for my daughter and rest of family) Rami outlines in his book.
If you are discouraged and don't know what to do, get this book. I was very worried and upset about my daughter's teeth at first, but now I am actually very calm because I know I am doing the right thing.
