What Does Oil Pulling Do?^[1][2][3][4]

Scientific studies confirm the efficacy of oil pulling therapy; one study shows that oil pulling with sesame oil can boost overall oral health. Specifically, using sesame oil as an oral health agent helps to reduce the amount bacteria in both teeth plaque and mouth saliva. Scientists believe that the lipids in the oil both pull out bacteria, as well as stop bacterial from sticking to the walls of the oral cavity.

Oil pulling may also increase saponification in the mouth, creating a soapy environment that cleanses the mouth as vegetable fat is an emulsifier by nature. Most interesting is perhaps the ability of oil to cleanse out harmful bacteria, as well as reduce fungal overgrowth. These oils also possibly help in cellular restructuring, and are related to the proper functioning of the lymph nodes and other internal organs.

Other possible benefits of oil pulling for oral health include:

• Overall strengthening of the teeth and gums and jaws
• Prevention of diseases of the gums and mouth, such as cavities and gingivitis
• Prevention for bad breath
• Potential holistic remedy for bleeding gums
• Prevention of dryness of the lips, mouth and throat
• Possible holistic treatment for TMJ and general soreness in the jaw area

After 30+ years running a comprehensive Natural Health clinic specialising in detoxing and cancer treatment I thought I would have come across all the most effective detoxing therapies known to man. Well I hadn't - this is really Fergus' story so I'll let him tell it....... Its a story which started with my complete disillusionment with the Dental “Profession”. I had already lost faith in conventional health care but had not, as yet, abandoned dental care. Some time ago a filling needed repair and I was attended to by a local dentist for - to me - an astronomical sum for several “items” including a general checkup.

2 weeks later another filling reached it's use-by date and off I reluctantly went to the same clinic to be dealt with by a different dentist. This one started off insisting on an X-ray which led to muttering about abcesses and root canal work - both conditions I prefer to deal with myself using herbal tinctures. She would have none of this, became quite angry and started telling me every tooth in my mouth was decayed and needed urgent treatment as she worked her way around my mouth hitting each one quite forcefully as she went.

When I could speak I told her I had had a general checkup 2 weeks ago in that very same chair she turned a bright crimson and mumbled something inaudible. She accompanied me after the treatment to the receptionist who took care of the payments where she insisted I had been charged for a checkup which I obviously had not received. A refund? no way - just general embarassment, semi-coherent mumbling and buck-passing.

2 weeks later that work disintegrated and I chose to go to another clinic where I insisted I would take responsibility for my condition but needed help repairing the hole in my tooth - the filling was competently repaired.

Some weeks later I became aware of an intensifying discomfort in teeth along one side of my mouth - within several days the pain had become intense enough to prevent me working and was proving fairly resistant to my normal treatments of Nasturtium and Yellow Dock. I felt quite torn between a growing feeling of “this is getting out of control” and my determination not to be subjected to yet another X-ray and callously expensive care.

Fortunately I noticed that the colder the water I used to dilute the tinctures - the longer the pain relief lasted - but it always came back.

Here are a couple of (unendorsed) videos on oil-pulling:

Post Script

One unwelcome discovery I made during my travels supported my attitude towards modern health (& now dental) care: this article “AUSTRALIA'S top-selling mouthwashes can cause oral cancer and should be pulled from supermarket shelves immediately.”^[8]. Although nearly 4 years (at the time) old, it has had little effect.

I found myself, again, very grateful for those of us who care enough to put health restoring information out there to help others and quite disenchanted with a system which encourages profiteering at the expense of other's misery.

It has also reinforced my belief that when your health is troubled, the last people to go to are those who stand to profit from your illness. Not true for all I understand but becomng a rule of thumb for me.

And, of course, when it comes to dental care - how's this ad from the ADA?
