hey! So after a month of deliberation, I bought a jar of virgin coconut oil.

I oil pulled and after 2 tries, I made the FULL 20 minutes (Can't beat that Sagittarian Optimism and that Moon In Cappy determination!). I decided to pull because I'm unemployed and I know I have beginner's periodontal disease..it sucks because I just got really depressed and gave up. Periodontal also runs in my family, I was on the pill so it messed with my hormones whhich intrinsically affects the gums and my depression was very strong.

Prior to OP, I was oil pulling with salt water (plain table), after the first day (and also freaking out brushing my teeth nonstop, rinsing after every meal and using hydriogen peroxide which is a huge no no) my gums stopped bleeding..completely. I've had bleeding gums since I was a kid, I'm 19 and they're vanished! The only time they've bled is when I had my period.

Anyways, I pulled with coconut oil and I got really bad diarrhea about 6 hours post pulling. Am I going to be okay? Is this the detox? I am strung up on nerves due to jobs but it seems too coincidental. I have no health care and I probably won't until late September/early october. I haven't been to the dentist in 3 years, I have some relief because gums aren't bleeding and my bad breath is nonexistent. However, my tongue is white (might have yeast, dehydration or stress)and it won't go away and I have a pimple in my mouth near my upper back teeth, I crave garlic alot too.

As for the results of positivity so far, WELL I've had extreme dry mouth for the past few days (I changed my diet and drank tons of water). After pulling, I have gradual saliva circulation again :)   The saliva could be too just the mechanism of the swish, not the oil itself. The real result I need is to reattach the gum to one of my teeth and have it grow back a little. I'm just so nervous, I just really hate how healthcare as turned into an industry and I have to temporarily live like this, mostly my fault..sorry for the tangent.

Also, during the sea salt/table salt pulling I've been having really intense dreams. I was in a house with my mum/sister and it was 3 houses connected. The place was FLOODED with dark brown/black pocket books. I was searching but I couldn't find mine, they were all my sisters. Another dream I had was when I was in an apartment, the sinks/toilets/plumbing had fecal matter coming out of everywhere. I also had this dream last night bedore I pulled for the first time today. My dreams have always been "prophetic". I know the pocket book dream meant my identity crisis while the plumbing dream meant backed up emotional issues. Is this all connected? Does salt cleanse systems too?

I also have astrological ties to my teeth. Virgo Midheaven are prone to dental problems and I have an aspect in -3 Square Sun-Saturn. And when I'm stressed I've always grinded and gritted my teeth. I've had fears of losing my teeth because my mom and I always have dreams about my teeth either looking good or falling out.

IDK, I think everything's kind of connected. I'm just freaked out.
