Here's a reason to OP!

If you're looking for a reason to OP this study should do it.

Three things that really struck me with the study:

1) 80% of the people involved in the study planned to continue OPing FOR LIFE! Think of it - people that never heard of OPing and presumably have an average level of interest in health (not fanatics like us). And 80% plan to stay with this daily proceedure FOREVER after being exposed to it for just 45 days.

2) Gingivitis was 50% reduced after 45 days! Think of all the pain and expense of oral surgery people go through - and worse if they ignore it. Lets see - $1500 in oral surgery not to mention the pain, soreness recuperation time, etc. VS gently swishing oil for 90 days. And something so pleasant and uninvasive that 80% intend to continue it for life. What an alternative.

3) Since the case of oral health improvement is so compelling, think of the implication for health overall. Oral health is directly linked to heart health for example. Any cardiologist will tell you that they can predict a patients cardiac health by the state of their oral health (and this is backed by a study with similar findings that made headlines recently).

Avoiding trips to the dentist or periodontist not reason enough? How about the cardiologist or operating room?

The problem people have with this is understanding HOW it works not THAT it works. Fortunately it's cheap, easy and painless to try. But be careful, there's an 80% chance you'll want to continue for life.
