I Miss Oil Pulling - Feeling The Effects Of Stopping Already

Now that I am taking a week long break from OPing, here it is on day 3 and I already feel that extra pep I was getting is gone. I don't have that extra energy that I was having everyday. That, and my teeth never feel as clean, despite me taking extra good care brushing them and what not.

I had that abscessed tooth extracted early, on Friday (instead of Monday) and as far as the extraction itself went, it couldn't have gone smoother.

NO PAIN AT ALL. Seriously, of course I watched The Secret before and immediately after the procedure, and I put forth a good deal of will power and intent into my day.

Dentist offered to pull it early, just as I wanted, he numbed me fine (despite taking 1.5 grams of Vitamin C the day before) and I didn't feel a thing.

The tooth extraction was going along (painlessly) and he said “I think I am going to have to section the tooth and cut it out in pieces because it really doesn’t want to come out”.

Probably because of the oil pulling. My gums are healthy pink/white and all my teeth are very tight now.

Then I remembered my plan, and I closed my eyes and VISUALIZED the tooth wiggling and coming out. I talked to the tooth in my mind (which I had rehearsed with it earlier) and I told it “It’s time to come out. Release. Let Go. Your work is done here.” While I did that the dentist said I’ll give it one more try “ then he told me to go ahead and sit up and I thought wow, I wonder what he is going to do now.

He said “we’ll need to put some sterile gauze in there now” and I said “Is it out?”. He said “yep. It just all of a sudden slipped right out”. I told him that I was visualizing and told the tooth to let go and he said “Well thank you for that, you made my job really easy. It just came right out”.

Oh yeah, despite me not getting off the blood thinners (I didn't stop taking them because I thought I had 3 more days before the extraction) it clotted and healed perfectly.
