Gum Disease Natural Treatments
Are your gums receding? Learn what you can do about it.
1. Understand the Real Cause
Our bodies were designed to support healthy teeth and healthy gums for the majority of our lives. Since many of us do not have healthy teeth our entire lives, something must be wrong. Is the imbalance that caused unhealthy gums something that has randomly happened to us, perhaps from not flossing enough? Or, is it our lifestyle, the way we are living, that has caused gum disease?
2. Accept Responsibility for Gum Disease
If you are not a victim of bacterial gum disease, and somehow your habits have caused the disease, then you can be empowered to make a change. The second step is accept that you are responsible for causing and treating the illness. Responsibility is different from blame. It is not your fault, since in general the media, schools, doctors, dentists and the government miseducate us, but it is now your responsibility to understand why, and to take control. Reclaim it!
3. Heal Your Body to Reduce Gum Disease
Using special foods, you can heal your body. I encourage the use of a diet consisting of nutrient dense whole and unrefined foods. You also must avoid foods that harm your body. In my book, I describe what foods I suggest to reverse tooth decay; the same should work for gum degeneration. The best solution for healing the body is one that not many people want to endeavor to take - utilizing whole foods (animal foods, not just fruits and vegetables). I suggest minimizing consumption of all sweet foods, and replacing them with vegetables, proteins, and fats. In my book I offer a list of special foods that need to be eaten; at the very least, they should help the condition.
4. Natural Remedies
The category of natural remedies is not meant as the sole solution. This solution must be used in combination with a diet for long term results. Natural treatments can be great healers, but why not address the root cause, the biochemical imbalance and the misfunctioning body, that can be corrected through dietary adjustments?
Keep in mind, I have not personally tested these following treatments; some of these have been referred to me, others I have found on my own.
Herbs for Gum Disease
Goldenseal powder placed on the tooth or adjacent tooth tissue may help heal or minimize gum disease symptoms.
White Oak Bark (Powdered)
A Gum Surgeon’s Worst $2.65 Nightmare—White Oak Bark Powder
There was a story by Dr. Moffat of a man who had bleeding, infected gums with pus coming out of the gum. His dentist wanted to do $1600 worth of gum surgery. Two months later, using white oak bark powder, his teeth were healed.
"Myrrh gum powder quickly cleared up a slight but long-standing gum infection for me."
Add a few dropperfuls of it to the water in the waterpik, otherwise it kind of makes you want to cough.

"Gum Cure" Products
These products may work, but they are usually extremely overpriced. Again, these products will not likely cure the gum disease over the long term because they don't inhibit the physical degeneration of the body.

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. Steuernol, Canada
"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!"
Very satisfied, Mike - Ashland, OR
"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
