There is a holistic alternative to conventional dental treatments which can help you heal tooth pain, reduce tooth infections, halt tooth decay and inhibit gum disease Learn about a flexible whole foods dietary program pioneered by the head of research at the National Dental Association, Weston Price D.D.S. that proved 90-95% effective in halting cavities.

Dr. Gallagher the president of the the Holistic Dental Association says, "Cure Tooth Decay is treasure-trove of wisdom as it takes the mystery out of dental health." Reviews --This book is a must read for everyone interested in improving their health.-- Pam Killeen, NY Times bestselling author --The protocol in this book is very effective for preventing and mineralizing cavities.-- Timothy Gallagher, D.D.S. President, Holistic Dental Association --It is a life and thought changing book written by a man who's not trying to sell you anything. How rare is that?-- David, Idaho --This is a very different type of health book, written from the heart. The dietary advice put forth in this book is not only crucial for preventing tooth decay but for preserving the health of the human race.-- Margie, Connecticut --I was ready to have a tooth pulled and the dentist told me I needed a root canal but I had no money. I was in pain and the cheek had actually started to swell up. Within three weeks of trying the diet I could tell I was turning the corner. The tooth stopped hurting; my teeth all over became whiter. After over a month on the diet it is hard for me to feel which tooth was bothering me. When I look at it in the mirror it still has a hole but the tooth feels like it is healing. Thanks a million to Ramiel Nagel for writing this book. Unbelievable!-- Leroy, Utah --If you are discouraged and don't know what to do, get this book. I was very worried and upset about my daughter's teeth at first, but now I am actually very calm because I know I am doing the right thing.-- Marina, Canada --The great thing about this book is that it allowed me to take control over problems that I had once felt I had little control over no matter how hard I tried. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in taking responsibility for their own health and want to live a life of optimal health.-- Michael, California.
