Healing/regrowth of tooth cavities is possible.

The following conditions must be met:

1. High raw animal fat + high raw animal protein consumption
2. Good mineral supply
3. long-term KETOSIS!

Every piece of fruit will impede the healing process.

I know that you don't want to read this, sorry. But this is my experience.

You regrew your cavities then with those conditions?

I was healing/regrowing my cavities without these conditions. The amount of fruit I ate did not impede the process either. Those were the conditions that you as an individual must have needed. Others might also need it, but they might not.

At the time I didn't even know one could eat raw animal fat and never heard of ketosis. I most certainly was not in ketosis.

But so glad to hear you were successful! 

Many of the supplements are really just food and herbs. I think that in the modern world our diets have gotten very narrow. Monoculture big agribusiness has narrowed what we heat dramatically in the last 50 years especially. I mean - tumeric - It's just a root. Green tea - just a plant soaked in water. Hunter Gatherers probably ate 100 different things that did some of what tumeric can do. Many of the supplements are things taken out of foods that people have stopped eating. We also can now get things from around the world - and perhaps we're lucky since most people only eat maybe a dozen things at most all the time. When diets get so narrow and so poor - I guess swallowing a pill is better than nothing - but the problem is that people don't realize why it is that they need to swallow those pills. They look at the pills the way they would look at a pharmaceutical drug. They aren't thinking that they need to take the pills because their diet is poor.

Interesting. Notice how green tea is in both the "good" and the "conflicting" areas. Hmmmm.

I love these kinds of visual aids to understanding. Some of the most popular items are surprising.

I was refilling in my holes from fillings that fell out until the hurricanes hit and my diet took a turn. Ruined years of regrowth and made serious breakdown after that.    Infections and pain all gone after getting my diet basically more stabilized and time to start rebuilding (hopefully) once more by going the distance in doing what I know will work but I'm no longer in the same condition from which to start. I did go to a dentist that took pictures and was monitoring the regrowth but then the hurricanes and I left. Dentists back then and for the years before were willing to take out the rest of my fillings because of the miraculous re-growth but now I couldn't find anyone that would probably concede to anything less than pullings and root canals for the teeth that took the hit - which of course I wouldn't think of doing after my previous experiences. Now that life is calmer and less stressful I will see how things go. As far as I'm concerned if there is no infection, no pain and I can still chew - I'm ok even if I don't experience regrowth again.

Hey KD,

I just read over your journal and wanted to give you a shout out.

You have transformed yourself into such a handsome, healthy young man! I wouldn't even be able to guess that the pictures you posted of yourself earlier were the same person.

Congratulations on finding your way. Not only do you look fabulous, but your intelligence and common sense in your writing shines through.

Thank you for sharing the pictures and your thoughts.

We cured my aged Mom of an almost completely occluded aortic artery. Before doctors said must do surgery right away or 90% chance will have stroke. One year later - completely open and clear artery.
 
Take out bad fats, put in good raw fats - especially cold-water fish. Take all junky food out. Only one fish oil supplement is raw and works - minami. Only thing (tried hundreds and prescriptions) that brought her outrageous life-long cholesterol and sky-high triglycerides down into normal range. If don't want pills, can't get that or prefer not to - then just eat raw fish. Mom did that too. 

Also read somewhere a long time ago that heart disease was a symptom of a lack of vitamin c but don't remember where.

What Lex wrote about his not having a lack of vitamin c on an all meat and fat diet is telling here.

Hi Sunaj,

Sorry so long for the reply - I've been away from the computer.

Lex buys the petfood from Slanker's on-line. They now make a "primal ground beef" which is basically the same as the pet food but is processed at the same place that the human grade food is and inspected. Lex says he has no problems with the even cheaper pet food that is not inspected and processed cheaper so is cheaper. Both these ground beefs include organ meats and both are 100% grass-fed.

Here's a link where you will find a price for the primal ground beef. http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/beef_cuts_and_prices.htm  The site is an interesting read within itself and it is where I first found out a great deal about meat when trying to find a raw food for my dogs. That website is part of the reason that I am now here on the paleoforum. If you don't know what grass-fed is about the website is a good place to learn why it's so important - at least to me.

Hope you are doing well!

I don't mean a single food, I mean an assortment of foods from which to sniff and taste. He has provided an assortment of tropical fruits to choose from, I'm just asking if he has done the same thing anywhere re: tropical veggies.
Thanks for the possible examples, Francois. Palm tree cores, aka heart of palm, look interesting:
I'd like to try that some day. I think I've seen it in canned form in a supermarket before. Presumably that would not be raw, however.

While yacón can grow in hot, tropical climates, it is actually reportedly a perennial plant native to the temperate Andes of Perú (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yac%C3%B3n, http://www.seedambassadors.org/Mainpages/still/kapulerfieldtrip/Yacon.htm), so according to GCB's writings, it would not necessarily match "man's initial dietary bandwidth" the shaped our "genetic background," which he has described as the foods of "tropical climates." GCB and GS have piqued my curiosity about what the native vegetables of tropical climates are, especially of Africa, reportedly the original habitat of our tropical ancestors (H. sapiens sapiens and earlier African ancestors--not Neanderthals, which reportedly inhabited Eurasia and the Middle East). One sees so little about this interesting topic. Maybe GCB or someone at Paleocru would know more examples?

I've went back and read over some of the older instincto threads and after reading this one I would just like to add that in the Tropics there are countless edible greens growing - it's just that they are not cultivated and sold. In the tropics there are more wild greens to eat than one could imagine. Many of them are known only to the few adepts. Going on a wild food walk in the tropics is overwhelming to say the least.

Hi Sunaj. Welcome.

Like Raw-al I was a vegetarian and healthy. I ate all organic fruits and vegetables. The one thing I have noticed coming to this diet is that it has radically reduced my food costs. Organic fruits and vegetables are really expensive! Organic nuts and seeds are astronomically expensive. And - the thing is - when you are eating mostly if not exclusively those things you have to eat A LOT of them. Just by adding raw eggs, seafood, meat (and dairy for me at times) my food needs have come down dramatically, my refrigerator space has opened up and I spend a whole lot less time shopping ... and spending.

There's a dude here named Lex that orders a pet food blend of ground meat and organs and eats that exclusively. His food bills are very low indeed - the lowest one can get eating healthy.

Aajanous Voldenplanitz (if I spelled that right) has a recipe book that gives lots of sauce recipes - but I haven't tried them yet. What I find is that if I put a raw egg yolk on on my ground meat with a little salt and pepper that makes it very tasty. You could try that or add just mix in your favorite herbs. Cumin or curry works well if you like those. You could just add chili herbs or you can go Italian with basil and oregano and a touch of olive oil. I make sauces to marinate fish in and make a very simple sauce for raw fish that you might like. Every time I make sauces they are a little different because I'm just used to mixing and never measuring so I'm sorry that I can't give you exact amounts - but you really don't need it. Do you have a health food store where you can buy nama shoyu (raw soy sauce)? If not you could use tamari or even soy sauce (better than what you are eating now). Add in some powdered wasabi/horseradish (I use my own that I make - but you can buy it) and ginger. If you dip your raw fish in that or make it thick you can dab some on each piece it's pretty yummy. Also - I've been finding that a big trick is to get a really super sharp knife and slice your fish/meat extremely thin. This makes it melt in your mouth. If you add a tiny bit of that sauce, a little cut piece of nori seaweed and a piece of avocado it's a delicacy.

The ideas on how to flavor things is long as there are chefs and books on cooking. Learning to work with herbs is an art learned by experience and practice.... but well worth it. If you have a costco or sam's near you they have big jars of seasonings. The herbs can make all the difference. A great many of them also help you to digest your foods. For instance - horse radish will kill parasites and ginger is a "digestive" - helps you to digest.

Money is a common reason given for not eating well - but when it comes down to it - you really can't afford not to eat well.

If you eat some raw animal foods every day your and eat raw fruits and veggies too you will have to eat so much less that your food bills will go down and your health will go up. It might not be like that at first though. At first your body might be really deficient and want a lot of it - but after awhile if you eat that way you will eat much less food and get more out of it.  

The crap you eat now is actually the most expensive way to eat in the long run. Wait until you are really sick from it to find out how much it costs. I have one suggestion: get only grassfed meats and dairy. Then the animal is treated well and fed well and so you will be too. Eat less of these if you need to. If you can afford half a pound of grassfed meat when you could have gotten three buckets of fried chicken for the same price - the half a pound of grassfed is the better deal. Same with chicken. Hard to get good pastured chicken - but that's the way to go. I just eat the eggs from my pet chickens instead. Hefty nutrition that costs very little.

Best of luck to you!

Cilantro is one of the best plant foods for removing heavy toxins from the system.

At moment I am not old enough to get job and move out.

But for sure one day I will be old enough and will have a job. ..... but what will happen then?

Once I am having good job, and I will move out and my Parents will also move out with me to my new home  .

In our culture children stay with parents & when they are grown up then parents stay with their children.

Zaidi who gets to make the dietary decisions for the household? Are you male or female? When you get a job will you be able to determine what is eaten? Is it a democracy where everyone decides together or does the person who brings in the money determine or the person who is in charge of the kitchen determine the dishes? What role will you play when you are older?

One of the things that you will likely be able to get is fresh fruit. That is socially acceptable in most societies. Then in Germany you can eat quark for sure. It's a German dairy dish and perhaps if you are living in Germany the family would be ok with trying a traditional German dish and it is made traditionally with raw milk (of course that's not paleo but is better than most things). Is the family open to eating German dishes and willing to experiment with those? How about eggs? One of the things you might be able to do is just ask that you eat your eggs raw when others get theirs cooked? Maybe ask to eat the meals before they are cooked? Would it be socially acceptable for you to eat the same thing just to do it before it goes in the stove?

I can see you asking politely for some eggs, some fruit and filling up on those as snacks and eating the group food in smaller servings.

That's quite a challenge - but I'm sure you will figure out a way to get around the social limitations eventually even if you have to be sneaky.

Since I might not be able to come back here for a bit I thought I'd better leave instructions if you are able to buy the raw cultured buttermilk and don't have to make it. Making the buttermilk is harder and more complicated than making the quark. The quark is quite simple:

All you need to do is mix about 1 part buttermilk to 7 or less parts milk in something stainless or glass. Leave some buttermilk in the container and re-fill it. Leave the buttermilk out for the day and then put in the fridge until the next time. Leave the mixture of milk and buttermilk on your counter for 24 -48 hours at room temperature -- until it becomes a mass. I cover mine to keep out bugs. You get it to set by adding the culture and letting it grow just like you would yogurt or anything similar. The time it takes depends on temperature and the amount of buttermilk. The more buttermilk the less time it takes. Skim the cream off the top then drain off as much whey as you want to using a strainer to make it the consistency that you like best. I take out most of the whey because quark cheese and whey separately stay fresh longer and re-mix the quark with the whey when making milkshakes etc. You can add salt to make it taste like cottage cheese or honey and/or fruit to make it more like yogurt.

I have made enough that my husband made me a special press (up to 10 gallons of milk at a time), but for small amounts all you need is buttermilk, milk, a pot, a strainer and glass containers to store it in your fridge. It's one of the easiest things to make once you get used to it.

That's it.... The traditional German Quark and that Johanna Budwig would have used. Mix the quark with flax oil thoroughly and you have the core of her cure.

You need cultured buttermilk to make quark as your starter. You can buy the buttermilk already made or you can spend a week or two making the buttermilk yourself which will entail throwing away some of the clabbered milk in the process of making the buttermilk. The buttermilk is like your yogurt cultures or your kefir grains. It's what you use to make quark. Do you have cultured buttermilk available to you? If you can buy it - it's easier.
