Is it possible that oil pulling makes gum worse?

I can only find 2 people in the entire interent searching through Google, to find someone saying anything bad about oil pulling. My search results are below.

I started oil pulling on Monday 04-05-2011 with spectrum organic expeller pressed sesame oil. The second day, I noticed that my teeth are much whiter. It is possible that the whiteness can be due to the baking soda that I have been brushing with. Sometimes I put a lot of baking soda mixed with little water and then rinse it in my mouth.

The thing is, I don’t have very good gum. Whenever I wake up, I have dry mouth and my teeth has dry blood on top of the teeth. What I have been doing for the last 5 months was mega dosing with vitamin C and it has helped a lot. I mean a lot, to a point where I don’t have dry blood on my teeth and bad breath. Before I mega dosed on vitamin C, whenever I woke up, I would rinse my mouth with non diluted hydrogen peroxide and it would bubble up really fast and I would have to spit it out within 7-9 seconds.

Since oil pulling along with mega dosing with vitamin C, I wake up and noticed there was that so called dry blood in my teeth. I am not sure if it is getting worse. I am recovering from a sinus membrane infection which is an accute or chronic condition I have had for the longest time. That could be the main culprit of my dry blood when I woke up the last few days.

Sometimes the inflamed mucous membrane causes me to sneeze non stop some days. It is a cause for major suffering for many years. Anyways, starting around Sunday, 04-04-2011, I did develop a bad sinus inflamation (could be a cold). Stuffy face, stuffed nose, sounds more like a cold to me. I started oil pulling on Monday, 04-05-2011 and did notice the plaque at the base of my teeth dissapearing. My teeth has become much whiter and I start to feel my teeth with my toungue because it is so smooth. I am not sure if this is due to the baking soda however even though all the forums I have been searching says how great oil pulling was, or how the pockets in their gums were experiencing a regrowth. This sounds great! I hope this happens to me. However, this morning bleeding which I have controlled so well with high doses of vitamin C is somewhat coming back and I am not sure if oil pulling would make it worse.

I have done multiple searches on google with the assumption that oil pulling is bad for you just to see if there were any results yielding undesirable results from oil pulling. I have found only 2, and the rest were great results. Here are the two:

Look for a person with the screen name RawKnitster at the bottom of the page. This person said oil pulling has made it worse over the years. If you look at this particular thread, RawKnitster actually promoted oil pulling previously. This thread is 4 years long and over the years, RawKnitster swore by oil pulling if you just take a look at her previous posts. Another link is right here in CureZone:
