Came across this forum about a week ago and decided to try this practice. I have had to greater and lesser degrees peridontal disease for a number of years. Over the past couple of years my gums have gotten worse due to developing a very dry mouth which started after having a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and having to take some short term medication which made the situation worse. I am an R.N. as well as practiced many complimentary therapies over the years especially aromatherapy and here are my observations. After practicing oil pulling for about 5 days with sunflower oil my teeth are definitely whiter, my mouth is no longer dry, and I have no further bleeding when flossing. I also switched to Vicco toothpaste during this time as well. I can't comment on the total detox effect of this practice, but the healing of infective dental problems make perfect sense to me especially from an aromatherapy perspective. Plant oils are composed of many phytochemicals which have antimicrobial as well as other healing properties, and just the oral lubricative effect of the oil I tend to think would effectively treat oral dryness which enhances the development of infective gum disease. I am so glad I came across this practice as I was heading down the road to the peridontist and did not want to go there!!!

This is a reply to # 109,791people in the medical profession tend toward two kinds that i have found. the first wont look at alternatives to allopathic techniques because they feel threatened by them. the others are open to them and when they try them, they find that they work. of these, some keep at a distance and just do the things they have come across and dont worry about it. the others find a whole new world of medicine open up, the kind that prevents and cures, not just addresses symptoms.
welcome to our group. i am glad you had the guts to reach out and try something new. yours is a great post and i am recommending it for the newsletter.

MoreThis is a reply to # 109,802Why thank you Mr.Trapper:) Sometimes I am just amazed when I see Reiki, Aromatherapy,Massage, etc. services now being offered in many allopathic institutions, but back when I began to study and embrace these therapies some 20 plus years ago my allopathic colleagues thought I was a wacko!!! In any event, I am glad I found this oil pulling forum, and if my pretty good health intuition has served me right, this is the therapy I was led to to resolve my dental issues.

This is a reply to # 109,803Hi Nightengale,
I was just reading your message on oil pulling. I haven't tried it yet but have read up on it and look forward to trying it. Something else that has also helped my teeth and gums is something called 'Tooth Soap'. You can find it on ChetDay.com or just try google- tooth soap. I have been using it only since Nov. 05 and hadn't been to the dentist for 5 yrs prior! A crown broke so, of course I had to go and also had x-rays, teeth cleaned and all that goes with a visit after 5 yrs.! Well, my teeth were so clean that hardly any plaque was on my teeth as well as a cavity that was forming between my teeth 5 yrs ago that showed on x-ray then but wasn't on the x-ray this time!!!...this is a specially formulated natural soap for teeth and doesn't have all the poisons in it that toothpaste does, the floride, SLS,abrasives ect...my teeth have never felt cleaner or healthier....I don't come to the forums very often that I may catch a reply from you and reply back......I have been very happy with my results. Not only that my teeth are healthier but I'm not paying into the dental monopoly!.. :D

This is a reply to # 109,807Thanks Wilma for passing on the link about the tooth soap. I am a 2.5 year endometrial cancer survivor and have been trying to eliminate ingesting in or apply on my body synthetic chemicals, so I will most definitely check out this chemical free tooth soap. Going into immediate surgical menopause combined with detoxing from anesthesia wrecked havoc with me on all levels. Thankfully I am on the upswing now and feeling better than I have in years!!! Also, I too came across a very good natural dental care site saveyourteeth.com which outlines a very good inexpensive dental care program you may like to check out as well.

This is a reply to # 109,824sounds like the oil pulling came along for you none too soon. heavy periods are a way for the body to detox. once it gets in the habit of doing that, it just keeps getting worse. the cure is fasting. with the method you chose, the oil pulling will help replace the bloodletting and put you on a more even keel if you are consistant with it.

This is a reply to # 109,802I'm new to oil pulling. Do it every day, with no tangible results yet, but I'm not sure in my case what they would be. The oil turns white and thins out. I'm assuming there are toxins in it. So that's okay by me. My partner has had better results. He owns a beauty shop and has been breathing fumes and toxins for thirty years. As a result he coughs up phlegm constantly. Plus he has a deep, dangerous cough every morning when he gets up. Until he started oil pulling. Since that very day he hasn't coughed once and the phlegm has stopped. Coincidence? I don't think so.
We've tried telling a few medical friends of ours about oil pulling and they couldn't stop laughing. Usually that's a sign that we're onto something worthwhile. Hah.
