    I think that's what it was saying, that the oil goes about 1mm down whereas infections can go several mm beneath the surface.... so maybe swishing causes the pockets to go deeper? I was all excited about it until I read that part. :(

    It says not to do it if you have gum disease or you will end up losing your teeth. I wonder what that's about.

    That's strange considering the antibacterial properties of coconut oil. Anyone have an answer?

    I don't know and couldn't find any info about that. All I know is I was doing it for a month and went in for a routine dental cleaning. I was shocked that I got the worst exam result that I ever had. Lots of bleeding and deeper pockets. End of coconut oil pulling for me!

    Maybe it is like your metabolism - sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better?

    Right. Here's what you do.

    You get one of these:

    And one of these:

    simple.

    That's pretty cool! So you just toss it in your leakproof coffee mug and shake-shake-shake?

    Yes ma'am. I ended up buying 2 for $1.39 from china. Works like a charm. :)

    Could be. I thought of that, but didn't want to risk getting worse and needing dental surgery. I'm hoping that eating low carb will help me as it has others.

    Went dairy free so have been putting 10g of coconut oil in coffee and just stirring. Will start to increase slowly. Lips are lovely and soft!
