I am assuming to get rid of gum disease i would have to go a long long time..something maybe like two weeks and honestly it scares me!
I have hormone troubles, maybe fasting would fix them, but maybe it would upset them and also mess with my metabolism. There seems to be a lot of mixed views about how safe it is do fast for anything longer than 3 days. I know for me to see it through I need to feel convinced that its going to work! It would be fantastic to hear from someone that has had specific experience of fasting and the effect on their teeth! |
Well, I am on the 15th day of a 30 day water fast and my mouth feels great, and my teeth are clean. My gums are pinker and healthy. My tongue feels a little strange, but thats part of detoxifying.
In my opinion the fear over this kind of thing stems from the medical community. Our medicine says to put a bandage upon it and not consider the source of disease and illness. We treat symptoms and not root out causes. Diet is commonly something that doctors will advise people to change, but how often do people do it? A diet reset while the body purifies itself seems to me to be one of the best natural ways of healing.
I am not even half done with my fast either.
