Tooth Decay and the Vegan Diet

This page offers vegan suggestions for a vegan diet to help limit tooth cavities.

Before we begin: I was a vegan for eight months of my life. I currently eat alot of animal foods (humanely raised). I do not promote a vegan diet and I suggest it be strictly avoided in children or pregnant moms. As as a side note, breast milk is not vegan. Humans are animals, and I fully support breastfeeding. But if your going to breast feed your child and you are vegan, you might as well give them other animal foods as well so they can be healthy.

In light of the fact that many vegans are writing to me and complaining about a lack of a vegan tooth healing diet, I am going to provide guidelines for the best vegan diet possible. Of course it will require vegan people writing back to me to say if it worked. My book does not support a vegan diet, so I am putting this all up online only.

Successful vegans in general seem to be overweight people who then go vegan. Vegan diets are very good for healing the body in some, but not all situations. I don't think they are good for a lifestyle, let's say, longer than 6-12 months.

Is There A Chance it Will Work?

First you need to qualify your health condition. For example, a vegan woman wrote me who had one small cavity after ten years being a vegan. If you fall into this category, then the following suggestions MIGHT work.

Another vegan person had to have four root canals, and had cavities in several teeth. If you fall into this category. Forget about it. I suggest you buy my book and change how you are eating.

A possibly healthy diet.

#1. Fat-soluble vitamins. Weston Price found that healthy people without cavities ate an abundance of fat-soluble vitamins. Of course animal foods are the main source of these, and this is the problem with the vegan diet, and the modern diet.

Vegan sources of fat-soluble vitamins. Whole grains freshly ground, wheat germ, avocado, natto (Japanese fermented soy beans), Barani brand olive oil, coconut oil, some oils in nuts.

#2. Minerals. The abundance of minerals is to be provided by consuming vegetable juices and vegetable soups. I suggest 6-16 cups of juice or soup per day. For clarity I suggest following the Gerson therapy. (minus the coffee enemas) Here are some soup recipes. Please avoid excess amounts of sweet vegetable juice, like carrot, and be careful with spinach and beet tops due to phytic acid content.

#3 Avoid the bad food.

First you need to understand the work of Melvin Page. Dr. Page found that tooth decay, or gum disease, or infections, happened when your blood chemistry goes out of balance. Specifically the calcium and phosphorus ratios. What causes this to occur?

A. Too much sweet food. I don't care what it is, if its sweet and you eat to much, it's going to change you blood chemistry.

B. Processed foods and drugs. Processed foods = toxic. Drugs and vaccines 10x more toxic.

C. Supplements and other strange foods. I suggest avoiding any supplement that does not have it ingredients entirely as foods.

D. Lack of fat-soluble vitamins and absorbable minerals.

Here are some typical vegan sins.

Breakfast cereals, granola, vegan cookies, soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, agave "nectar," chocolate, sugar, tofu.

Why?

Because it has sugar, and these foods are bad for you. The safest vegan "sweet" would be dates, and then the herb stevia that is freshly ground (don't buy the stuff in packets). After that, maple syrup.

Let's review.

So #1 don't eat ANY of that stuff listed under vegan sins. If you need to have rice or almond milk, make it at home, although I would be cautious of using too much almond milk as I believe it has thyroid inhibiting properties. To be clear, any sugar, is sugar. It doesn't matter what the label says, don't do it. Sugar, is sugar.

#2. Fat-soluble vitamins 3x daily. Take olive oil, natto, coconut oil, and wheat germ oil 2-3x daily in small amounts. Natto has K-2 supposedly. Also consider evening primrose oil.

#3. Veggies are your main food source. 6-16 cups of vegetable juice and/or soups daily. Also sea vegetables, kale, collard greens.

#4. Grains are to be freshly ground, soaked, and sprouted or fermented in a sourdough. Don't buy bread from the store, make it at home.

#5. Nuts and seeks to be soaked and sprouted before consumption.

#6. No Soy. No Rice Milk.

#7. Most vegans are sugar addicts due to lack of absorbable energy from the dainty diet. Limit fruit intake to 10-20% of your diet. Don't eat too much excessively sweet fruits like dates, peaches or bananas, this will guarantee you to have cavities, as excessively sweet food alters blood sugar.
