One could argue that brushing before OP'g would remove much of the topical bacteria thus allowing concentration on the deeper issues. I shall experiment with both. Also, I have never used the "chewing method" while sipping/swishing.
I am in the habit of drinking a liter of water with a teaspoon of hunza salt sole before brushing or anything. It's an Asian way of preparing the body for the day. I am experimenting with the Op'g and my water therapy. The two therapies do clash. I really prefer to OP before bedtime.
Now I am hoping to incorporate a titanic toothbrush which uses no paste. Has anyone tried the Soladey toothbrush?
