Taking Responsibility for Dental Health

Recently I had a toothache and the dentist took an X-ray, diagnosed an abcess under my white filling and gave me a prescription for antibiotics saying I should have the tooth out when the antibiotics had worked.

I chose to try a more localised alternative and after sqirting hydrogen peroxide 3% onto the area to bring out the infection my cheek swelled like a hamster - my immune system was doing its job - the toothache subsided after a few days as I took wheatgrass shots daily and swooshed wheatgrass around my mouth. I also cut out spinich and any other source of oxilic acid from my diet.

I went to another dentist for a checkup earlier this week and was told that my teeth and gums are in perfect health and that I need no further treatment. I was amazed that natural remedies can have such an impact on dental crises

Raw eating concentrates on optimal nutrition through eating food in its natural state. Of the 58,000 higher animal species on the planet, we are the only one to cook our food. It is no coincidence that we are also the only species, to suffer from obesity and chronic degenerative diseases of all our major organs and systems. Eating a raw food diet offers superb health and freedom from a wide range of illnesses whilst savouring an abundance of wholesome delicious food. Problems associated with menstruation and the menopause disappear. Raw food diets have been used successfully to banish allergies, arthritis, cardio-vascular problems, cancer, depression, type II diabetes and a panoply of other degenerative diseases. Excess weight vanishes as if by magic.

In the last 10 years the concept of raw food has been sweeping across America, where it has been adopted by hundreds of thousands of people. Celebrities like Sting, Donna Karan and Piers Brosnan are high profile advocates, but in Britain it has only just come to popular attention. But you can't keep a good thing down for long. We need to do something about the state of the nation's health and the only reliable long term way to do that is through nutrition. So the media is beginning to pay attention: Recently the BBC2 programme, The Truth about Food demonstrated the health benefits of eating a completely raw diet when a group of volunteers made dramatic reductions in their sodium and cholesterol levels following just 12 days on a mostly raw food diet. The first week of their diet was completely raw. In Arizona at the Gabriel Cousins Tree of Life Centre they have been reversing diabetes as well as many other chronic diseases through low glycaemic raw food retreats.

Gaia Gourmet is helping to lead the Real Food Revolution. This website serves an information resource as well as a place to find out about raw food events and we will soon be offering a range of products to optimize natural health.
