She has been dealing with the pockets for years it seems like... It is unfortunate, but I have a hard time getting her to change her junk food habits of 3 to 4 times a day, with big cans of low carb energy drinks in between (we have cases of it in the pantry).
I guess after 14 months she is breaking down a little; she has had vegetables with dinner four nights in a row (amazing) AND she is using the toothpaste mix and oil pulling.
email me off of the forums in a month to remind me to post her progress. I hope she will continue. If so, we should have a pretty good understanding if the pulling is helping. I do know she missed a day and made a point of doing it this morning on her own; she has realized the benefit of reduced pain and swelling as mentioned previously.
