Gum Disease and Fasting

[The Coronet]

hey everyone,
I could really do with your advice here! Ive just been told that I have chronic gum disease and require an operation to get it under control. The dentist showed me in the x ray how my bones have started to dissolve because of the disease and he said in 6 year i could start loosing my teeth if I dont do anything about it!

At the moment I have very little money not too mention very little faith in any conventional treatment, so Im a little freaking out! I have read a lot on this forum about people fasting and I was wondering If any of the fasters had any experience with fasting and dental issues?

Specifically my questions are...would fasting cure the problem? and if so should i do a plain water fast or would a juice fast be ok? and finally how long for?!


Im a big eater and the idea of fasting doesnt fill me with joy but if it does the trick all do it for sure!

Thank you so much for your time and to Steve Pavlina for providing this forum

All I can come up with is..."would it really hurt you to try?"

In my reading on fasting I came across a story where each time a gentleman had a tooth abscess, he fasted and the bad tooth fell out on its own.

Theres no reason not to try this method. It doesnt cost you anything, in fact it will probably save you money on groceries, lol.

Hey Lucas,
Thats exactly what im worried about...that it would hurt to try and I dont just mean hunger pain. The thing is that I have fasted for 47 hours before..Im not sure if it did me that much good other then make me feel proud I could go that long..(i know its not so long but it was for me!) 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.

Wow thats very impressive and encouraging, well done for having such will power! Well I have just read the whole of the massive 30 day fast post on here (10 Pages..read the links and watched the vlogs!) and the one thing thats seems to be a common theme is that after while you will loose muscle mass.

I was wondering would drink a little of an organic protein shake with some vitamins supplements each day prevent this also whilst giving you the advantage of a prehapes a more gentle detoxification process?

The Coronet,
take Oak Bark internally and rub the powder all over your gums etc before retiring.

[The Coronet]

Heuristic Kirby thanks so much for the tip :-) Ive not heard of that before, i look forward to trying it!

Ive decided to just manifest healthy gums..let the universe show me how to fix it, and youve given me this suggestion..so im excited about :-)

Thanks again

Look up tooth soap...I have read a few testimonials on it, and people have reported actually healing cavities and other dental disorders while using it.

I have decided to try it myself (but haven't received it yet, as it has to come from the US), so I can't say if it's the answer you're looking for, but it can't hurt to try!

Thanks Votoshka!
That sounds very interesting indeed. Ill google it and see what I find. Is there only one company that does it?

Thank again :-)
