After about two weeks of using 1-3 drops of tea tree oil in the safflower oil pull, I am back on sesame oil without any TTO. I found that the safflower oil is not anywhere as protective as the sesame oil. If I weren’t adding the TTO I don’t believe there is much antibacterial function to safflower oil. It also doesn’t seem to have as much efa’s as the sesame oil. I noticed that while using the sesame oil there was a softening to the finger muscles and that there was a slight oily feel to the skin of my hands. These effects were getting progressively less noticeable while pulling the safflo ...

If you have read my previous posts, then you know I am a Tea Tree Oil fan-boy for dealing with infection. I have successfully used it topically, for a deep bone infection, at the root end of a root-canaled tooth. I am also an avid OP for the last five months. I started off using Safflower oil but quickly switched to Sesame oil. I recently used up all of my bottle of Sesame oil. I had an almost full bottle of Safflower oil sitting in the refrigerator and thought why not use it up, then return to the favored Sesame. So I started OP with the Safflower oil. I noticed that I was starting t ...

A principle of traditional Chinese medicine is that the Kidney rules the marrow, which is to say, that the kidneys function has an affect on the bones. Since we are trying to heal a bone problem, the Kidney should be treated too. A western herbal formula to strengthen the kidney would be the following herbs. Dandelion root, Parsley root, Gravel root (all, 3 parts by weight), Marshmallow root (2 parts), Juniper berries, Ginger root, Licorice root (1 part). These can be finely ground and capped into 00 caps and taken as in my previous post. In addition, Dr. Christopher’s Tissue & ...

I think that you need to do at least two things, in addition to OP, to help heal cavitations. The first is to strengthen your immune system. There are several herbs, which can be combined to accomplish this. Echinacea angustifolia, Chaparral, Astragalus, Yellow Dock, Garlic, Dandelion Root, Golden Seal, Kelp, Licorice Root, and Cayenne mixed together. Echinacea and Chaparral would be two parts, with the rest being one part by weight. These should be finely powdered and put into 00 capsules. The dosage could be two capsules, 2-3 times a day, taken six days a week with one day off. You mi ...

I had an implant with a crown done. Which also required having a bone transplant. So far, I haven’t had any problems with it. OP keeps it clean and the tissue looks nice and pink. Once you start with modern dentistry, there doesn’t seem to be a way to stop. If someone knows how to grow a third set…PLEASE POST THE TRICK!   [End]

I don’t see how the oil could harm the dry socket or the bone. Its just food, after all is said and done. Since he’s eating, the exposed bone is already being exposed to food. OP removes lots of bacteria so I can’t see how it would harm him to try it. Some people recommend using a bit of oregano oil, added to the oil your using to OP. I have no experience with oregano oil. I do have lots of experience with colloidal silver and tea tree oil. I would add any of these substances to the healing regimen. You are trying to get the gum to grow over the hole in the bone. I really wo ...

I agree, however it’s also the acid foods/drinks dissolving the enamel, which gives the bacteria an even easier path into the tooth. The phosphoric acid in Coke is capable of dissolving nails; imagine what it does to tooth structure. There has also been some work done to map the teeth to the internal organs, within the acupuncture community. I believe there is a chi component to good tooth health too. Acupuncturists use tongue diagnosis to determine the current health of the body. With a tooth chi map it should be possible to refine the diagnostics even further by tooth damage diagnosis ...

If you’re asking me, no…I make no claims for OP correcting a dead tooth. I credit it with keeping the bacteria down so they don’t build plaque and cause the gum to deteriorate. The gums seem to be tightening around the dead tooth, which is another benefit of OP. I healed an infection, which was trapped at the end of a root canalled tooth’s root within the bone, using tea tree oil and colloidal silver. Some people have reported abscesses being cured by oil pulling, but I have yet to read anyone claiming to resuscitate a dead tooth. I wasn’t OP when I cured the inf ...

Why thank you molly bloom! Your posts have been an inspiration for me. I couldn’t agree more that OP is a no-brainer. The only problem I see with OP is not doing it. It’s the cheapest per dose treatment for plaque I’ve found and extremely effective.   [End]

Fasting is a great thing to do. You don’t say if this is your first or if you have some experience. I would say there are many ways to fast. Water, juice, short term, long term all have different conditions during the fast. Water is very cutting and cleansing. Red grape juice is probably the most cutting of the juices I have tried. It’s also my favorite beverage to fast on. If you take ground psyllium husk it will help to pull toxins out as well as loosened fecal matter. Either a daily enema or colonic helps to cleanse the colon and remove the toxic waste which fasting throws out. You c ...

By way of personal history, I have had root canals, which sealed the infection in, and also teeth pulled which were infected below the gum. Student dentists at university dental schools have done most of my dental work. The dental brainwashing starts in school. It’s taken me a while to figure out their game and develop some healing strategies. The problem with current dental practices being that once started it’s hard to quit. I have been an oil puller since April of ’08. I have lurked here several times and would like to contribute some personal experience, which is just that. ...
