From mere looking at me and from what I have been advocating about healthy diet, many of you will think that I am super healthy. True, I haven’t been sick of any major illnesses or never have I been confined in the hospital. I think the diet has played a major role in my health. Hallelujah! But diet alone is not enough to stay healthy especially as we get older when our immune system is no longer as strong as before and also the fact that we are living in a toxic world.

Like Dr Budwig said, we need to take care of our teeth.

Few years after I arrived in the USA, in the year 1986, my teeth were not in perfect condition. I had cavities all over. It was a good thing my husband had great dental insurance, fixing my teeth didn’t cost us anything. I had fillings, bridges and root canal done – in my mid and late 20′s.

I was perfectly fine for a while. After staying in WA for 10 years, we decided to move to a warmer and brighter climate of Arizona, in the higher elevation where all you see is blue sky all year round and traffic is never heard of.

A couple of years after we settled here, I started sneezing and coughing around early winter, something that my postmaster who hired me had warned me about. I thought I was invincible and didn’t think I was susceptible to allergies. Little did I know that I was wrong. My conception of allergies proved me wrong. I thought allergies were something minor with few sneezes and coughs now and then.

The first full blown allergies I had came 3 years later after the move. It was so bad that I had to see a doctor for possible bronchitis or pneumonia. It kept me and my family awake at night. I have never coughed that bad and persistent before. The good thing about it is it’s seasonal. It gives my body a chance to recuperate for half of the year to be hit again half a year later. I did everything possible to alleviate the symptoms, mind you, but the relief it provided was shortlived.

My husband, after doing research about health, thought that my body was so toxic and that I needed to detoxify. Which infuriated me because why was my body so toxic and not also his and we ate the same food and lived in the same house and breathed the same air? Still, he was adamant about detoxifying my body of who knows what by eating 100% raw and juicing raw veggies and fruits.

I gave raw diet a try for 3 months at a time. I tell you, it’s a wonderful feeling being on raw. Your feel so good but so darn hard to stay on during winter time especially my job requires me to be out on the street for most part of the day all year round. We decided to modify our diet by eating all raw morning and lunch and cooked at dinner. It’s the best compromise I could come up with from 100% raw.

Until one morning, while undressing, I thought I’d give my breast a little attention, and to my horror, I felt a lump the size of an almond. I was devastated! “Oh, no!”, I said, “I can’t die yet, my children need me.” It bothered me for a while until I decided to cast my worries to God and I would do the rest.

The first thing I did was to have a doctor looked at it. It took several doctors to diagnose a problem from gynecologist, to x-ray and ultra sound technicians, then to surgeon. Then back to surgeon to discuss the option, then came surgery, and back to surgeon again. Can you imagine the money involved in these doctor trips including the useless and most uncomfortable mammogram procedure that a poor woman has to go through per doctor recommendation that the patient has to pay – all for nothing? Lucky, the lump turned out negative for cancer. What did the doctors do to solve the problem? Was cutting the lump the solution?

I thought so, at first, only to see regrowth 3 years later in the same area. This time around, I didn’t seek medical help. I took matters into my own hands and did research on what is causing lumps and tumors and how to get rid of them naturally. It may be very well connected to the root canals that I have had in my mouth for so long and a few other things like chemicals that I already quit using. Although from just quitting chemicals like those in shampoos, sunblock, hair dye, etc, my lump and tumor have almost disappeared but I still have a lingering pain on my left waist that travels up below my shoulder that may very well be connected to my other root canals that I have yet to remove.

I quit seeing my dentist in town. I remember one time receiving a flyer from my dentist saying that if we don’t have our teeth periodically looked at, they can create all sorts of problems in our body. They are right only they want you to keep coming back to them almost on a yearly basis to fix an infection that is beyond cure as if we are rich. For one year alone, I spent almost 5K on dentist excluding insurance. And I notice every time I come back, they always find a tooth or two that need to be root canaled or crowned. Then I began to question why the more I go to the dentist, the more I develop problems? Because all they do is seal in the infection in the decayed tooth.

Of course, they blamed it on my poor brushing or flossing and never their fault even though God knows we do our job religiously. They don’t want to admit that it could be the dentist causing havoc in our mouth like drilling root canal which then results in an infection and can eventually spread to the healthy teeth, so from one root canal, you end up having 5.

In root canal tooth, you can not sense or feel a pain because the nerves are taken out but you can still chew with it like normal teeth. But since it is a lifeless tooth with deadened nerves, our body’s immunity cells can’t reach there because the nerve vessels are dead and no longer available thereby creating a breeding ground for bacteria and cancer cells to thrive and slowly flows to every part of our body causing all sorts of problems. Now, that explains why I manifest a slight dementia, floaters in my eyes, the breast lumps and tumor, and pain in my lower left back that travels up in my lower shoulder, lymph nodes in throat and armpit, deep sharp pain underneath my foot, recurring gall bladder pain that results in infection, severe allergies, and so on and so forth. Go figure. I think it is not a wise decision to keep a dead tooth in our mouth.

The healthy diet that I am on definitely has kept me from going under. Thank goodness.

Below are my 3 infected root canal teeth that I had uprooted a few days ago. All three didn’t have pain and swelling warnings except an occasional bleeding in one tooth when flossing.

Hello! Sorry for having been away for so long after facebook has held me in captivity for a couple of years. I tell you facebook can be addicting and so time consuming. I am glad that my interest in it is starting to dwindle down. Maybe, I can find some to resume writing again on this blog.
