When Erin's 9-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a gum abscess and tooth infection, she opted for a natural approach instead of antibiotics. This comprehensive regimen involved strict dietary changes, multiple natural remedies, and supplements to fight the infection and promote healing. Below is an overview of the approach Erin used to treat her daughter's tooth abscess without antibiotics successfully.
Dietary Changes
The first step was eliminating all sugar and significantly reducing grain and dairy intake. The focus was on whole, low-sugar fruits, vegetables, and water as the primary drink. This diet helped to reduce the inflammation and create an environment less conducive to bacterial growth.
Natural Remedies
- Baking Soda and Peroxide Rinse: A daily rinse of water, baking soda, and peroxide helped to clean the infected area.
- Tea Tree Mouthwash with Grapefruit Seed Extract: Twice daily rinses with this combination were used to enhance the antibacterial effect.
- Colloidal Silver Spray: The infected area was sprayed with colloidal silver once a day to help kill bacteria.
Supplement Regimen
Erin's daughter took a comprehensive range of supplements to boost her immune system and support healing:
- Vitamin C (1000 mg)
- Vitamin D (10-15,000 IU)
- Chelated Zinc (100 mg)
- Oil of Oregano (45 mg, standardized to 70% carvacrol)
- Olive Leaf Extract (310 mg with 40 mg of powdered extract standardized to 18% oleuropein)
- Krill Oil for Omega 3s
- Garlic supplement for immune support
- Alpha Lipoic Acid (100 mg)
Results
By following this regimen, Erin's daughter was pain-free by the third day, and the abscess was fully resolved by the end of the week. When they returned to the dentist, the infection was completely gone, and the abscess had healed.
This comprehensive approach highlights the potential of combining dietary changes with natural remedies and supplements to effectively treat a tooth abscess. It serves as an example of how a holistic approach can support the body in healing itself, even in cases typically treated with antibiotics.
