Eliminate Tooth Abscess with Cashew Nuts
February 1st, 2008
Cashew, is also known as cajueiro, cashu, casho, acajuiba, caju, acajou, acaju, acajaiba, alcayoiba, anacarde, anacardier, anacardo, cacajuil, cajou, gajus, jocote maranon, maranon, merey, noix d’acajou, pomme cajou, pomme, jambu, jambu golok, jambu mete, jambu monyet, jambu terong
The cashew tree produces many resources and products; we can use leaves, bark, fruits and nuts. The bark and leaves of the tree are used medicinally, and the cashew nut has international appeal and market value as a food. Even the shell oil around the nut is used medicinally and has industrial applications in the plastics and resin industries for its phenol content.
Gram positive bacteria, which cause tooth decay, acne, tuberculosis, and leprosy are killed by chemicals in cashew nuts, cashew apples, and cashew shell oil.
Author had made raw cashew nuts the main part of his diet for 24 hours on five occasions and had eliminated an abscessed tooth all five times. There were no obvious side effects except possibly a mild transient headache. Limited experience since makes me suspect that even this may be prevented with taurine supplements.
It is possible that just eating a couple of ounces each day for a week or so would work also and might avoid any intolerance to cashew nuts. He had tried this successfully on another occasion.
He had no absolute certainty that the nuts contain anacardic acids as do the pears. However, it is very unlikely that the plant would synthesize an antibiotic and then fail to pace it in the most important part.
In his opinion it is necessary to seal any holes in the teeth in order to prevent reinfection. Please keep in mind that this last is counter to the opinion of the American dental profession.
You can create a temporary seal (at least several weeks) with a mixture of zinc oxide and oil of eugenol (a complicated benzoic alcohol).
There is a zinc oxide - calcium oxide composition called Biocalex which they claim is superior to zinc oxide since it is said to fill the tooth tubules and displace anaerobic bacteria, and thus make it also superior to gutta percha.
This should buy you some time until you can afford root canal work (should you decide on this option, but which he does not recommend as a rule. Giving the option only of extraction or root canal strikes he as similar to giving only the option of amputation or installing an artificial finger for an infected finger.).
A more permanent seal can be affected using high alumina fast setting Portland cement, probably as much as a dozen years or more.
If the fast setting Portland cement is made up with acrylic Portland cement additive from a mason supply house instead of water and applied to a tooth abraded with sand it will stick very tenaciously, even to enamel.
Probably coating the cement with epoxy resin while very dry would extend its life indefinitely` and this could also have cosmetic advantages.
