MASSIVE deterioration in tooth enamel
I have been raw for just over 13 months and was 811 between January and Sept/August. I went to see my dentist today and she said she has never seen such bad deterioration in such a short space of time and if I don't sort it now they will have to be capped!!! My teeth have had a rough time of it lately (I caused so much damage with a tongue stud) cracked teeth, root canal and two porcelain crowns. My enamel has never been an issue until now.
It's easy to blame the high fruit diet, which I have now moved away from. I eat very simply now.
Suggestions????

I most certainly did not.. you're talking to someone who drank coffee every morning, and red wine and chocolate every night!

You definitely have to build up to it. Try 5 minutes at first and work your way up. You may want to set a timer and do something like checking emails, reading, making breakfast, etc. while oil pulling to distract you from the clock. Some people meditate during the 20 minutes, but for most of us, that is not the case.
Take care,
RawMatt

I was thinking I'll do it while i sit by my light in the mornings and read, or listen to lectures. Multi tasking..........
Do you really use only Sunflower or Sesame oil? The page LIllian posted said those work the best. Anyone use these, or something else.? I don't have any right now.

Keep it in your mouth until it turns into froth. That time will be different for different people.

I don't know if it will rebuild the enamel. But I know by experience that it does a world of good for the teeth and gums nonetheless!

Oil pulling? A first for this boy. I'm closing in on 20 minutes of swishing. Anyway, the story says use sunflower or sesame, don't have, I am using coconut like you suggest.
Are you positive?

I've met too many of those in my life, already, many more than enough. I think I've had enough. But thanks!
also, a dr. friend told me that some of the waxy stuff can drip into your ear and do permanent damage. it does feel great, but i don't do it any longer. i've actually fallen asleep while having it done. =/
If you have something to trade, or there's something you want, here's a place you might like to display pictures or ask.
Thank you Wrenn that is what I thought too and your comments are very helpful! I think it would also be cool at $.99 for 5 TOTALLY new raw recipes and then it can be a series of them at $.99 each...thanks for your comment!
What are they used for? I've heard people people using them in smoothies.
women wants to re-make them just like if they were their own babies, and yet they want them to act grown up like a "real" man father and all that stuff. doomed to fail each time
why? was it great drama?
why not getting in to someone's head? everything is free
yes...
where did you watch mariam, was it free?
