FINALLY I am writing this post! It's been months since the cavity was healed. But you know, 3 boys, 1 baby boy on the way, life is hectic! So I'll keep this short and simple! Hopefully ;)
In October 2012 I had horrible pain in my right jaw. I thought it was TMJ, but one morning I woke up with an abscess on the roof of my mouth! Ahhhhhh!!!!!! It was AWFUL. So after a trip to the doctor, and put on antibiotics, I had that tooth pulled a week later. Sad I know. That tooth was too far gone for saving I think since it was dead.
Oh and a cool side note....I went to the chiropractor finally for the pain of what I thought was TMJ, but after my body was aligned properly, my immune system was able to form the abscess to drain all the yuck that was causing all that pain! Amazing! With in just a few hours of being adjusted the abscess formed.
So, at the dentist I find out, I have two on my bottom right that "need" root canals. Then two on the bottom right also that are normal cavities that need filling. Well super depressed because a year before this I had 12 cavities filled when I never EVER had a cavity in my whole life! I wondered WHY my teeth were decaying so badly! Then I figured out it's because of being pregnant and breastfeeding for over 6 years straight.
Anyways, I had decay on the bottom of my right eye tooth. I could see it, it was brownish gray along the gum/tooth line, and this tooth bothered me quite a bit. I was worried about it since it was in the front, and thought I better get it filled. I knew I didn't want root canals because of the complications they can cause and the expense! {I have NOT healed those bottom two yet, they were very deep. The teeth are still alive, but it will take a while to heal those. Praying I won't need root canals or extractions}. Desperate, I googled a thousand times how to heal a cavity. I even saw a second dentist that goes to my church for an honest opinion and he said I really needed root canals and fillings. I cried. Right there in the chair. I asked in desperation, "Is there any way to heal a cavity naturally?" he said in all honesty, "No. I know you will see things online but they don't work." Which made me cry even more.
I decided to full force try to heal these bad boys myself. I read Wellness Mama's blog about healing cavities, I ordered "Cure Tooth Decay" book on Kindle and flew through it. I ordered Weston Price's book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" and The Healthy Home Economist blog about healing her sons cavity.
I was motivated. I believed God created our bodies to heal. If a broken arm can heal why can't a decayed tooth?
I ordered Fermented Cod Liver Oil, and I used Essential oils on my tooth. I cut back on grains and nuts which contain phytic acid which block mineral absorption. I ate grass fed butter, and occasional bone broth. I tried to drink raw milk or eat raw cheese when I could. But the main things that healed my cavity, that I was consistent at was:
1. Taking Fermented Cod Liver Oil (I doubled the dosage for a month because of breastfeeding. I was taking 12 capsules of Cod Liver Oil/ Butter Oil Blend).
2. And putting Young Living Thieves essential oil directly onto the tooth 3-5 times a day. I would put a drop in my hand, then put the floss in the oil, and floss directly on the decay with the Thieves.
3. I cut out gluten for 4 months, so I was eating less grains (only some corn), and I cut back on sugar. I never could cut sugar out all the way!
It was 4-5 months after that dentist visit that my first cavity healed. About a month after I upped my FCLO dosage, I was using a dental scrapper (you can buy at walmat) scrapping my teeth for plaque like I do from time to time, and WHOA! All the decay on my lower right eye tooth scrapped right out!!! FOR REALS! I put it on my finger, it was like tiny pieces of dead bone, they were sharp. I looked and looked and LOOKED for decay on that tooth and it was all GONE! Smooth, white tooth was now present. This is no joke, and no exaggeration. I was so pumped I saved the decay to show my hubby lol.
This tooth was really bothering me for several months. And now it's all better! I still have those big cavities I'm trying to heal, and I still have a few other small ones. But it can be done!!!
When I scrapped out the decay, I was already several weeks pregnant with baby boy #4 and I was still breastfeeding baby boy #3 several times a day. SO IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!!! It takes consistency. FCLO is AMAZING.
Okay. I'm done. Please let me know if you have any questions :)
