Picture painted by Angela A. Stanton, PhD.

About 40 years ago, I had a root canal and a crown of tooth #4. It’s a molar so essential for chewing meat. For 40 years it worked perfectly. Last week my dentist took a 360-degree X-ray of my teeth and jaws and noticed a possible problem around #4. It had a dark shadow around it, suggesting an infection and that the tooth was loose.

On Friday this week, that is yesterday, I went back for a consultation by a specialist, a periodontist. He confirmed the infection and pointed out that the tooth was actually broken by the crown’s long metal end. I agreed to an immediate tooth removal.

This dentist is amazing and so was the periodontist. Not a moment of pain or discomfort, in spite of the tooth having been broken into 3-4 pieces and it was a fishing expedition. After the last stiches were in, the assistant advised me what to do to care for it and what to eat. I was told to eat only the following foods for the next few weeks:

Mashed potatoes/grits, soup, pasta, milkshakes/protein shakes, oatmeal, yogurt, Jell-O and puddings, tofu, pancakes, apple sauce, and similar.

I looked at the assistant with a smile and told her: ummm… I eat carnivore, so I don’t eat any vegetables at all. 😉

She looked at me with total amazement. She repeated what I said as a questions: You mean you don’t eat any vegetables? Fruits? How about blueberries?

I said: Nope, I mostly only eat meat.

She said: YOU CANNOT EAT STEAK!

This was soooo definitive that I didn’t ask anymore questions.

Tonight I had a lovely steak.

Why Am I Writing This?

The only reason I was able to eat a steak tonight is because in 24 hours I literally healed the wound completely!

Tonight I was chewing a chewing gum on the side where they pulled the tooth, not because I wanted to, but because I forgot they pulled a tooth.

I have absolutely zero pain, zero swelling, zero discomfort whatsoever.

How did I heal this fast. The answer is simple. I eat hypercarnivore–meaning >95% of what I eat is animal products, such as beef, chicken, eggs, pork, bison, duck, fish, seafood, and dairy, and I eat a small amount of fruit time to time.

And what I found over the past 15 years is that eating the right food changes your body. My healing from everything is extremely fast! A cut on my finger also heals in one day. But this is counterintuitive because as we get older, we are supposed to become more frail and heal slow or not at all.

Getting Younger in Your 70s

Most people heal very fast in their youth, maybe even in their 50s. But boy, you reach your 60s and 70s and healing slows and illnesses increase. That is the “norm” in modern society.

But it need not be that way.

I changed my way of eating in my mid 50s, so almost 20 years ago. At that time I was taking over a dozen mediations, had over a dozen health conditions, and felt very old.

After the change of my diet, especially in the last 6 years of eating carnivore or keto or mixing the two into hypercarnivore, I cured all my diseases and take zero medications.

Indeed, I am getting younger in my 70s. And yes, where my tooth was pulled, is fully healed in one day. Amazing!

Questions are welcome, as always, and are scrutinized for appropriateness.
