Pyorrhea and Vitamin C
A September 22, 1934 article published in the Science newsletter talks about the curing power of vitamin C. They quote the Nobel prize winning Prof. A. Szent-Györgyi.
Pyorrhea is gum disease. It is a bleeding disorder of the gum. The fact that vitamin C was reported to cure bleeding gums means that people are likely suffering from severe vitamin C deficiencies.
Vitamin D, present in cod liver oil, with vitamin C rich green vegetables may help prevent not only gum disease but tooth decay. Beautiful teeth are found in cultures which eat their native diets, typically including the fat-soluble vitamin D.
Foods rich in vitamin C include papaya, steamed broccoli, brussel sprouts, strawberries, bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, kiwi, boiled cauliflower and kale. Acerola berry has one of the highest amounts of vitamin C. Hot chili peppers, guavas, litchis, and currants are also very high in vitamin C.
Guinea pigs kept on a vitamin C deficient diet eventually show signs of gum disease. Their teeth become elongated, and gums red and spongy.
Pyorrhea is just a weak or beginning form of scurvy.

I had several very painful cavities postpartum (after having twins) that kept me up all night in pain and made it so I could barely eat... After following the advice in this book accruately my tooth pain subsided within 24 hours and no longer hurt at all, my teeth also look nicer and my gums no longer bleed and are a nice pink color. -J.

"The practical advice in this book really seems to be reversing my tooth decay!!! Hallelujah brother!!! The dentist wanted me to have two major root canals immediately and two other teeth filled. When I asked him if there was anything I could do with nutrition or supplements to get mu teeth to heal, he said "maybe you could slow the decay down a little bit" but that essentially the answer was no.
That dental visit was three mobnths ago and my teeth have stopped aching all together, are way less temperature sensitive, and feel generally stronger.
Most of us have been totally disempowered regarding the health of our teeth. This information has changed that for me. I bought the book for $28 anyway though. What a bargain, The dental work was going to cost well over $4000.00 no wonder dentists don't seem open to this stuff working! Talk about a biased perspective!!!
Think I'm excited, you will be too if you use this info to take tooth health into your own hands!"

"Not only is Cure Tooth Decay a practical guide to teach parents how to raise healthy children (with healthy teeth), it is also a helpfull tool for adults who have suffered with poor dental health and/or chronic disease. I would also highly recommend this book to people who are looking for things they can do to protect their bones, and their overall health, as they age. In other words, this book is a must read for everyone interested in improving their health." Pam Killeen New York Times nestselling Author
"Ramiel, You (along with Weston Price) saved my teeth. Was supposed to get a root canal (which I had no money to pay for). Tooth was in pain. After three weeks on the diet I can feel a big difference, tooth doesn't hurt now and feels like it's healing. Thanks so much. Unbelievable!" - Leroy, Utah
My cavity has gotten smaller! Once you are set free from being a slave to modern foods of commerce author continues to explain how the ancient people ate. They were healthy, strong and good looking. They had no cavities. They had no illness until familiar western culture came to visit them. If you are reading this review I am sure you understnad something is not right in the world. That we are born to live under a certain hypnosis. That we are taught to give away our responsibility to "people with authority", and those people cannot even take care of themselves. I recommend this book if you want the way out."Ranko, Croatia
