...I feel I have experienced a miracle...last night.

I've had some near toothaches in the past month or two, but I have felt that I've overcome those, with whole cloves, several years ago.

I had also tried some oil-pulling a few years back, but I quit because my mouth leaks, a little.


Last night, half-awake, I felt that I had irritated one broken tooth with my tongue.

Quickly, it developed into a toothache, and radiated to my other teeth on that side.

Most of my teeth are in bad shape. Four are broken at the gum line, and on and on. Dentists charge a lot.

I was up a couple of times...the second to take a teaspoon of coconut oil for oil-pulling. I also took some terrycloth, folded, so that I wouldn't soil the pillow.

I spit the oil into the multifolded cloth, after a while. Then I took a little more coconut oil...maybe a quarter of a teaspoon and pulled that.

And...the toothache disappeared!

Believe me, I know toothaches, and I had no cloves handy. And...it was just plain old garden variety coconut oil, not extra-virgin or anything.


I had just recently resolved to restudy oil-pulling, and begin again.

Now I know I will be a devoted oil-puller!

My best, everyone.
