Beef Heart, Liver And Raw Cow's Milk!



Last Saturday Elizabeth and I were able to take a trip to one of our local farmers markets. Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures of it. We'll have to make a point of doing that next weekend.

For as long as I can remember Elizabeth and I have sought raw cow's milk. Only recently in the state of Arkansas has the sale of raw milk been legalized, as long as the milk is sold on the farm to the customer. This excites us for many reasons. Some of those reasons include the health benefits, the ability to make our own cheese, we'd like to make cottage cheese, and the fact that we just simply need to know how to handle it in general. I can't imagine getting to make real butter for the first time. I get excited just thinking about it.

Well much to our surprise when we arrived at the farmers market, one of the first booths we saw was of a grass fed beef operation. Further to our surprise they sold organ meats! The prices were very reasonable. We purchased a heart and a liver for less than ten dollars! We figure between the two, that there are probably somewhere between 3-5 meals. We'll see and I'll give an update when the time is due.

Above all, they sell raw cow's milk. I couldn't believe it. All of our beef issues had been settled! We had a source of organs, milk, and grass fed beef. What a weight off our shoulders. Now we just need to get a deep-freeze and another fridge.

If you are wondering why grass-fed organ meats would get us excited it is because of the tooth diet that we are on. They have a high amount of amount of phosphorous and that along with calcium is what is necessary for teeth to regenerate.

 

I'll admit up until this diet, I spent a great deal of time pondering how I would dodge out of a situation where someone expected me to eat liver. Well frankly although I'm honestly not expecting that I will like it, I am expecting it to help my teeth.

Indigenous people on an indigenous diet do not have tooth rot. They do not have cavities. Typically their tooth decay is 0.5 cavities per 100 people. The trick is to mimic their diets. It's not easy but fortunately the Lord has taken care of us with many regards regarding diet.

I'll admit that I don't think I'm eating enough. But at this point I think that a lot of that has to do with the fact that we are having to figure out how to wiggle around this diet. For example, we can have sweet potatoes and they are supposed to be good for us. Well we need to find some sweet potatoes!
We've not had any yet. We are having to completely overhaul the way we look at our pantry and our fridge. I need to look at where Ramiel Nagel's book stands on tomatoes. I like them, I'm hoping they aren't an offender.

I just red that liver is high in copper, this really excites me. I'm so eager to watch this regrowth accelerate.

Well I've looked at my book again and only found one reference to tomatoes, I guess they are just in the middle. However here is a picture that may tell you what you don't want to know.

 

 

I'll let you know how the taste test goes. The liver I expect to be offensive, the heart I expect to be veiny but still tasty.

Pleasure aside, health gains will be made.

A last note for the night. Elizabeth and I both still don't understand how it's healthy to eat an organ that is commonly believed to be full of toxins. If you understand the science behind it all we'd be happy to listen.

First Set of Teeth Regrowing Pictures

So I have already described what I have seen happen to my teeth in the last month in two previous postings, so here I will post pictures. Shame on me for not having the guts to take pictures from the beginning. So I guess you will have to take my word on what I have seen happen, and know that henceforth we will have photos up here for you to see. I'm not sure how often I will update this. And there are places in my mouth that you have to look at and move at the same time to see what's really going on. So we may have to get a better camera than our phones, or we might also need to look into a quality video camera for up-close shots.

Well here are the poor quality pictures I have. I tried to take three but only two of them turned out well.

Showing personal tooth decay is very embarrassing. If I didn't think my teeth and gums were getting better, I wouldn't do this.

Alright now I am going to tell you what you are looking at.

I'm not sure if you can tell where all of my cavities are. The hind part of tooth A also is a cavity.  I should have also pulled my bottom lip down, there is damage to the largest tooth as well that is greatly improving. I'm going to say this again. Use HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE for mouthwash!
You have to heal your gums before you can heal your teeth. And in these pictures you can see how pink my gums are. When the transition begins, you will notice that the size of your teeth will change. It's a little weird. Your gums get tighter and in turn they hold to teeth better. So the gums go lower on the tooth. It's a good thing, BUT, it will show you more damage on your teeth that you hadn't seen before.

The tooth that I was focusing all of my attention on what tooth A, when I noticed that food wasn't able to go into the hole anymore I knew something was going on. Bread used to be the worst offender, followed by leafy greens. I also noticed the white lines around the cavities and feared the worst. That the teeth were actually getting worse. Over the course of days I was able to see that it was getting larger. This is a very slow process that seems to have "spurts and stalls". It seems to either improve quickly, or you don't see any progress at all. I think the reason for this is that there are many cavities in my mouth that I can't see, and I think that my body is healing each of them a little bit at a time on an "most important basis". So once my body says to itself, "ok, tooth B is ok for now till I can get back to it, now on to improve tooth C" so on and so on. And with the dozens of cavities I have in my mouth there is just no way that I can always see what progress is going on.


 You can see the brown on teeth A and B, that is the DENTIN. This is the beginning of these teeth healing themselves.

I had read about dentin but was really unsure of what it looked like under healthy circumstances, I had tried to find pictures of it on google with no luck. Every photo was of severe decay to the point of being all black or missing.

The tooth I really wanted to show up well because of it's dentin progress is tooth C, this tooth has shown me what dentin really is and how quickly it can go from being decayed to full restoration.
I was oblivious to this tooth for three weeks, then I had a drink of chicken broth and the next three days this tooth could not be ignored. It's progress was stunning. I will say though that I am uncertain about what is happening with it now. The dentin is healthy but it seems that something is going on with the enamel. I think the dentin is fully regrown, so the only thing left is for the enamel to grow back! You may be able to see that I have a black stain between C and the tooth infront of it, I am VERY curious to see what happens to that over the course of my improvements.

I think that the dentin on tooth B is healthy but that it is not as advanced as tooth C. If progress on it continues at the rate of tooth C, I'd expect it to be finished replenishing the dentin by either the end of next week or the week after, any longer than that and I'll begin to wonder what's going on. I'm so happy with the progress of my gums.

I need to drink more chicken broth but we haven't been able to make any more. I think we might be tomorrow. We'll see.

I could just go on and on saying the same things over and over. I'm really excited about this. When you see your teeth progress, you learn what healthy teeth look like. Granted my teeth are nowhere near finished but already I have seen progress, from decayed teeth that were rank and discolored and gums that were released from teeth and very unhealthy. To now, I can see the full layer of dentin on tooth C and I am so excited to see how the layer of enamel is progressing down the my gums, albeit very slowly. It seems that dentin growth is very quick, relatively speaking, but that enamel growth is super slow. Progress is progress right?

To give you an idea of how slow enamel progress can be, I would estimate that my white line of enamel on tooth C grew only 1/64th of an inch over the course of the last week, that is sloooow!

I know this is supposed to be a homesteading blog but dental health is all part of it right?

Right??

Well it should be.

Remember, stay away from sugars and grains. Sugars include juices and also healthy cereals too!

Look up Ramiel Nagel on YouTube. I'm not paid or endorsed in anyway. I am as normal as you are. I would think all of my other content on this blog would show that to be the case.

In the name of our God and our Savior
Blessings to you and your teeth in the name of Yeshua, amen
