Title: Vitamin k2 and tooth enamel regrowth
Post by: Marty Champions on November 27, 2018, 03:54:15 PM

Marty, I would stay away from the K2, if I were you.  The drawbacks far outweigh the benefits.  I don't think you'll be able to regrow your teeth.   :-\

This is 100% legit, with no (sexual) shenanigans.

3. This is a legit business opportunity for serious $.

I'm sure I have a good idea anyhow, but know that guidelines have been established I'll be sure to sign up for the next contest where you're the head judge.

I had perfect teeth my whole life, still never had a cavity.

During 2 years of veganism, my gums receded a ton and teeth hurt at the tips. I supplemented with K2 the whole time. At my last dental appointment, the scraping tool hurt like hell the whole time -- I finally knew why people hated the dentist.

After 3 months of meat eating, my gums had crown back and my teeth were no longer sensitive. Next visit, the scraping tool didn't hurt whatsoever -- just like old times.

All those vegan fags look so weak & sickly all the while proclaiming great health.  I went raw food back in the 90's for like 2 weeks and felt like death.  All those raw people were telling me it gets better and you feel great after several weeks or months.  No thanks.

Stay away from sugar and high acid/low pH foods/drinks and take chelated multi-minerals everyday.  That's all you need.

Brush your teeth with NON-fluoridated toothpaste.  Fluoride is toxic.

Actually I still do occasionally. I'm just trying to get rid of the bottle.

I've been experimenting with diet a lot over the past 4 years. During most of it, I ate lots of vegetables and shied away from meat. Both times I've drastically cut vegetables and changed my main protein source from plants, eggs, or dairy to meat, i've noticed tons of benefits within 3 (!) days:

- less morning depression
- more ready to sleep at night
- need less sleep (8 hours max, if I'm depressed I would stay in bed for 10 hours)
- tighter skin and firmer muscles
- skin looks healthier
- drastically reduced abdominal bloating
- drastically reduced stool, flatulence
- way less inflamed hip musculature: I think this has to do with the bloating, which pushes my hips out of place and makes walking, sitting, and running very uncomfortable
- less stomach discomfort
- more confidence: I think this is partly related to looking better, particular in my skin, muscles (both firmness and inflammation), and waist, but not just that... I have a generally improved sense of well-being. I wish I could test my testosterone, because I think I might be the cause.
- less worried about calories, macros, etc. I just don't think about it as much. It's like I was always trying to manipulate these to find the "right diet" before, but I was simple missing meat.
- blood pressure: admittedly, I only tested this once while "on meat", but was shocked to see 120/75. I'm usually at 140/80; like all the males in my family, I seem predisposed to hypertension. That said, my resting heart rate was 70, whereas usually it's low 50s.
- better gums, less pain at the dentist (as described before).
- better "focus" probably from a variety of causes, not the least of which being my diet just "feels right" and gives me way less anxiety.
- feel less need to exercise, probably because I feel less need to eat so I'm not worried about balancing the two.

Red meat especially feels most satisfying. I eat 1lb a day, a few eggs and some cheese, and 2-3 servings of vegetables, max. After filling up mostly on that, I do indulge in a little desert: fruit, nuts, and protein bars. Im fasting and this is my main meal.

The desert is hard in my stomach: even a tiny bowl bloats (500 cals) and irritates far more than that big bowl of animal foods I just ate (1500+ cals).

Red meat may have a bad reputation, but in all seriousness the amount of misery it seems to save me might worth a heart attack. I'm done fighting against my experience and sticking to nutritional dogma.

Just thought I'd share some of my experience, since i have both perspectives (2 years vegan, 6 months maybe 'mostly animal products').

Excellent post bro... When i look around at my comrads that still eat meat theyre all getting greys and fine lines . What tooth paste do you use????
I feel i spent at least 7 years of vegasim wrong with pasterized fruit juices
Now im making fresh frozen whole fruit smoothies , very high energy from these lately
Beans are still the key also . If im eatin just fruits only my sweat is too sticky my damn legs will chafe... But beans rectify this they get rid of that somehow
Im also less thirsty slammin down lots of fruits, the bodys balance of too much fruit not enough water will make my back go out.... I have to be super disciplined about water drinking even when not thirsty

Endomorphs do great on vegan diets.  Ectomorphs need more calories with meat/eggs/dairy or they will be too skinny and sickly.

Haha, I've had a significant number of gray hairs since i turned 20... just runs in my family. My hair got a little better when I first switched to vegan, but I think that's cause I also started eating more at the same time.

I did the all fruit thing at first, then moved on to more grains and protein powders toward the end. Tried a bunch of different things in between. I would eat a whole stack of rice cakes dipped in a banana, protein powder, and soy milk puree each night for a while. Tasted amazing and was easy on the stomach, but I was weak, had bad joints, hair, etc. Was definitely rather sugar-addicted, lolz.

I like colgate's optic white toothpaste. Used aquafresh for years after that. Now I just buy whatever random tube I see first... think I have some Tom's right now.

Meat has nothing to do with it.  It's the sugar, high acid foods and lack of minerals that destroy your teeth.

This^ It is primarily the sugars and acidity of plants that is the problem. However, plants are loaded with minerals so that's not a factor in vegan diets.

I would add that highly acidified super sour candies/gummies (i.e. Sour Patch Kids, Warheads, Lemonheads, etc.) literally melts the enamel from the teeth on contact.  The pH range of these super sour candies is around 2.0 - 2.5.

What do they consider proper oral care though?  It could be brushing and flossing 3X a day or something that almost no one does.

-Don't really know the answer to this. I'm going to go out on a limb and parrot the advice from my hygienist. Bush at least twice a day, preferably with an electric tooth brush; floss at least once a day and use soft picks whenever necessary. I have my teeth cleaned twice a year. The dentist examines my teeth once a year or more if there is something suspicious. If I remember correctly, I believe I have digital X-rays every couple of years.

I've bleached my teeth a few times to remove stains from coffee, tea and red wine. This is purely cosmetic and not necessary for proper dental care.

Note: Your hygienist will recommend how often to have your teeth cleaned, based on how much tartar buildup you have on them.

For the most part dentists are scamming you by telling you to see them as often as you do.  I had my wisdom teeth removed 20 years ago and that's the last time I saw a dentist.  I have all of my teeth (except wisdom teeth), no cavities and they are bright white from teeth whitening.

Good solid outline for proper dental care.

However, in my opinion, the other thing that needs bleaching, is a porn stars anus.

Or any woman I'm dating.

Like most things genetics play a huge role. Maybe you are just fortunate.

Both my parents were toothless by their 50s, and I'm having to visit a dentist/hygienist every 3 months to stay on top of things in my mid 30s and it's a struggle.

Never smoked, don't eat sugary food and brush, floss and use mouthwash religiously. No cavities, but gums are not being loyal

Just brush daily and use mouthwash which I think is hugely underrated.  The good thing today is if you do need dental work they can screw in false teeth now so they are permanent not slipping all over in your mouth.  In the future maybe stem cells will be used to regrow enamel. ;D

How do you mean that your gums aren't being loyal. If they are shrinking and/or inflamed, you may have periodontitis. If this is the case, you'll want to have it taken care of because it can advance to the point that your otherwise healthy teeth will fall out.

Heard a few horror stories regarding screwed in false teeth so I'd wanna try avoid that if possible.

That's what I'm trying to prevent because I seem to be very susceptible to this, hence the quarterly visits. Although I have a Chinese dentist and I  kinda get the impression she may well be trying to fleece me.. Better be safe than sorry though.

Eating 6 meals a day like a bodybuilder for 15 years can't have done my oral health any favours though, cut that down to 5 now and working on trying to get it to 4. 3 meals is just a dream...
