Oil Pulling Day #1

So my front gum’s been itching a little. This happens on and off every couple of years. So this time I decided to try googling what I could do instead of waiting it out.

It seems that these might be the some of the causes:
– Teeth Movement
– Gum Diseases
– Overall Health
– Overactive Nerves
and the list continues… so basically that means, no one really knows.

In one of the forums I was looking at someone suggested oil pulling. Which got me curious, so I looked it up, and here I am trying it out =P. Worse comes to worse I’ll just have a mouth full of oil.

I also have amalgam fillings (I think, they’re metal and I got them as a kid, which seems to be one of the typical scenarios) which some people say oil pulling might cause a problem with, but the hell with it. We’ll see how it goes. If I die of early mercury poisoning, we’ll know why.

Ok so down to nitty gritty.

Oil Pulling Day #1:
Oil Type:
Corn Oil
Time:
19 minutes
Process:
– Oil Pull 1 Tbsp
– Rinse with saline water
– Brush teeth with toothpaste
Result:
– Teeth feel glossy/smooth
– Front lower gums still itchy, but slightly not as bad as yesterday
– Left lower back gum (wisdom teeth is pushing out) not as sore
Comments:
I need to get some coconut oil, because that’s the most suggested oil to use. Also the results supposedly take 10 to 14 days to be noticeable.

I like the below blog the best including the comments
Oil Pulling With Coconut Oil to Transform Your Dental Health

A few things to remember:
– Don’t swallow the oil
– Don’t spit it down the drain
and others that can be found in the blog

Happy Pulling,

In My Head

This song just popped into my head, and I didn’t even know the name.
So after a bit of googling, ok, pretty much 30 seconds, I found it.
I hope it gets stuck in your head too =].

Uncle Kracker – Smile

You’re better then the best
I’m lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side
Of my pillow, that’s right

Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where
You send me, lets me know that it’s ok
Yeah, it’s ok
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you’re gone,
Somehow you come along just like
A flower poking through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain, and just like that

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Don’t know how I lived without you
‘Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile

It must be cause you make me smile so much =]P,
Helen ♥
