Why do we have wisdom teeth?

Frank J. Jerome, D.D.S, Tooth Truth (New Century Press, pp. 370-371); Wisdom Quarterly

The Buddha had 40 magnificent teeth, straight and white, partly because he was born in the East, partly because they are part of the major Marks of a Great Man (KanikaBadwal).

  

Why do we have wisdom teeth? This is a question many patients ask. We have wisdom teeth for the same reason we have front teeth. 

  

Have you ever asked, "Why do we have front teeth?" Probably not, because they do not cause problems. So the question should be, "Why do wisdom teeth cause problems?"

Are they left over from caveman days when our mouths were bigger and will they eventually disappear from human beings? These are possibilities, but it is much more probably that the problem is cause by us. The truth may be found by looking at people in other countries, countries with a more natural diet than ours.

Teeth in Other Countries

Novices, Ladakh, Buddhist India (Sayid Budi)

When Dr. Weston Price toured the world in the 1930's, he found that it was the influence of Western diet that had the most to do with the improper growth of the body, including the jaws which hold the teeth.

When the jaws do not develop to their full size, they are too short to hold all 32 teeth. The last ones in are the wisdom teeth, and there is no room left.

This crowding is also seen with the eye-teeth (canine or cuspid), which may come in like tusks in people with small arches. We do not wonder if we will be losing our eye-teeth through evolution.

If you consider the full meaning of this information, you will understand this this same lace of space caused by our diet is the reason that millions of American teenagers continue to need braces year after year.

Have you ever wondered how the billions of poor people around the world get along without an orthodontist to handle all their crooked teeth? For the most part they don't need them because their teeth are not crooked. 

Having orthodontists to fix our ids is not a luxury Americans can afford because we are a rich, but because our diet causes the crowded teeth. And the more generations that are on the Western diet, the worse the problem becomes. The solution has been know for generation but the only response by the dental schools is to produce more orthodontists. (See "Braces.") [Prevention first then treatment.] More

  

Dr. Hulda Clark [Cure For All Diseases] has sparked a growing debate on the way diseases are treated. Her one-woman crusade to help people escape the archaic methods of many medical practices has take root. ...Her claim is that the body is self-healing, once we can clean up the body of toxins, bacterial invasion, poor nutrition, and parasites [which her device detects and eliminates], is echoed throughout the literature. She has joined earlier voices against the toxic effects of dental materials (p. 35).

Why are American teeth crooked, decaying?

"How Are Teeth Damaged?" (Tooth Truth by Frank J. Jerome, D.D.S., pp. 199-200)

Dr. Weston Price [westinaprice.org] was a highly respected research dentist who worked in the first 40 years of the 19th century. For several decades he was employed by the American Dental Association (ADA) as head of its research programs. [He produced volumes of valuable work for them.]

After leaving his post at the ADA, he traveled the world. Taking photographs of native people in Polynesia and other remote areas, he was able to show the influence of the Western (American) diet [or SAD: Standard American Diet] on children in the same families raised before sugar and white flour were introduced and those born after its introduction.
   

"I thought cavs and crooked teeth was normal!"

The children exposed to sugar and white flour had dental disease and their faces were narrower, causing bad bites with crowded, crooked teeth.

In some places, when the Western diet stopped being available, children born after the previous native diet was resumed were again healthy, just as the older children and the parents. Dr. Price's book about his observations of dietary influences on growth and decay, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, has become a classic in nutritional literature.

"Ah, no more vivisection on us!" (funnycats4u)

Dr. Francis Pottenger, M.D. did dietary experiments, using cats. When fed Western diets (human foods), the kittens grew with all the problems we exhibit including allergies and deformed dental arches. When these kittens became adults, he fed them their natural diet, and it took five generations before their kittens were completely healthy.. When the experiments were extended by feeding the cats the Western diet for three more generations, none of the kittens survived to breed. These experiments suggest that after long exposure to the Western diets, the facial deformities common in America -- the long, narrow faces with crowded, crooked teeth -- will become more common...

WARNING: Occasionally irreverent treatment of alarming subject 

Devastation in Japan due to radioactive debris after earthquake and subsequent tsunami

   

Incoming waves of nuclear radiation pose a very clear and present danger. On Saturday June 9, 2012 Coast to Coast conducted the Fukushima Forum. 

  

Each hour specialists in nuclear engineering, alternative energy, naturopathic detoxification, and decontamination offered opinions and advice.

  

What is the best way to deal with the latest nuclear disaster in Japan? The US is being affected and needs to prepare for the the next incident.

  

The consensus emerging from the Fukushima Forum is we must help ourselves and largely rely on ourselves without expecting so much as honesty from government.
  

Good air, food, and water are essential for human health. And the products at CaravanToMidnight.com offer a measure of security.

This video (published on Oct. 5, 2012 by MsMilkytheclown) deals with California's Diablo Canyon and Japan's Fukushima  nuclear plants. Evacuation zones around Fukushima-Daiichi are being expanded to 50 km rather than 20 km. The new guidelines do not say whether the people of Fukushima will be included. Noda says no to commencing construction on the Kaminaseki nuclear power plant. Meanwhile in the USA, PG&E is blasting the Pacific Ocean in front of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in California ostensibly to check for earthquake fault lines. This will destroy aquatic life in the zone, particularly dolphins and whales. But animal abuse (vivisection) continues beyond the beach: Mice are being experimented on with artificial iPS cells to create sperm and ova to produce "normal" mice. Why stop at mice? Japanese scientists are taking "creationism" into their own hands by having done this with HUMANS too as a cure for "infertility" and/or radiation damage. But news reports suggest officials still want to reconstruct Fukushima. In other headlines, an extinct wooly mammoth (Ice Age northern elephant) was found with organs and bones intact. Mainichi: Gov't "choreographed" event on Fukushima health effects. Fukushima newspaper editor: We don't report on health risks from radiation; people might worry. Radiation and health specialist: Children with more than 11 bq/kg of the radioactive element cesium start to see heart problems according to a new study. Now 28 bubbling sites are associated with giant sinkhole: "Air releases" at 3 locations outside are area being tested. New images of fallen steel beam atop fuel assemblies in Unit 3 Pool: Handles covered in debris, barely visible. Local news: Reports of mysterious loud earthquakes flooding into Louisiana towns: "Of course the sinkhole comes to mind" dozens of miles away, so rare and there are no seismic monitors in area. Newspaper: Giant deposits of BP's oil on or beneath US Gulf floor: Devastating fallout of spill continues... ecological calamity! Nuclear engineer: Fukushima plant "is a waste generation facility... with no off switch." Nuclear engineer: "This is the worst possible scenario" -- I think the melted fuel has already eaten through the concrete at Fukushima plant. Boat seen outside boundary of giant sinkhole. Flyover footage shows new area nearby giant sinkhole saturated with water. Coast Guard: 4-mile stretch of oil has appeared near BP's Macondo well in Gulf. Victims of suspected radiological spraying in St. Louis suffer thyroid and other cancers; helicopters covered children in powder: "Oh my God, if they did that, there's no telling what else they're hiding!" Pressure from cavern below giant sinkhole near 1,000 psi, trying to extract "hydrocarbon material" from well. Oil reported at BP's Macondo Well in Gulf could be coming from "fissures or cracks in sea floor" -- NOAA cover up? Gov't held secret meetings about human health impacts from Fukushima crisis. Asahi: Cesium levels spike in Fukushima primates: Radioactivity much higher in 2012 than in June 2011. Tokyo getting five times more radioactive fallout than prefectures closer to Fukushima. NHK: "Underground spring-water" a concern in Fukushima fallout study; drone helicopter now measuring radiation around plant. Radio: "Every few days sinkhole gets bigger and gas bubbles spread out." "My big fear is significant groundwater and aquifer contamination" for that area of Louisiana. Top US nuclear official: Technologies don't exist yet to clean up Fukushima site... very difficult to overstate difficulty. Nuclear whistleblower: I was asked to leave my church. It's been a living hell (VIDEO).
