Gram positive bacteria, which cause tooth decay, acne, tuberculosis,
and leprosy are killed by chemicals in cashew nuts, cashew apples, and
cashew shell oil.
I have made raw cashew nuts the main part of my diet for 24 hours on
five occasions and have 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. Taurine will be discussed at the
end under "Some Health Links". A sixth time required several days.
