This world is crazy and it seems like we are being attacked from every direction - between radiation from Fukushima, GMO', fluoride in our water, cell phones, prescription medications, foods that are low in nutrition, the list goes on and on.

I have seen such amazing results with patients using natural remedies and alternative healthcare. I just recently started researching "oil pulling" and started it myself in an attempt to help detoxify and help my teeth.

The dentistry industry seems to have duped us all - I have talked to some holistic dentists and spoken to some patients who claim that the teeth can actually regenerate themselves -- contrary to what we've been told, that once teeth decay you must get fillings or root canals. It would make sense that this isn't true - other parts of our body, like bones and skin, can regenerate itself when damaged. It wouldn't make sense that our teeth are unable to so the same thing!

So far, I have seen some amazing results doing oil pulling - which is something that people in India and other countries have been doing for thousands of years. It is literally so simple; you use some kind of natural vegetable or essential oil (I use coconut oil), swish it around in your mouth for 15-20 minutes a day (preferably first thing in the morning with an empty stomach) and spit it out. That's all. Supposedly it helps pull out toxins and bacteria from the mouth and upper GI tract, and there is some research that shows that bacteria actually propagates tooth decay. Apparently, the idea is that the consistency of the oil can attract the bacteria to expel it. Also, since the mouth and upper GI can be the gateway to toxins and bacteria to other parts of the body, some people say that by getting rid of the toxins via the oil it can help other health problems. Additionally, the antibacterial properties of oils like coconut and the lactic acid (one of the important compounds of breast milk) can actually help restore tooth decay in addition to eliminating access fluoride intake, healthy diet, etc.

So I have been oil pulling for a month and so far I am amazed at what I'm seeing: whiter teeth, a decayed spot on a lower tooth that needs a filling has shrunk down to half of what it was, and I am actually breathing better. I have stopped using toothpaste completely to eliminate access fluoride intake. I've been using the coconut oil, and then just mix baking soda and brush with a sonicare and water.

I am curious if anyone else has tried oil pulling? What results did you see?
