Hi Steph,

It actually can be other oils but the Indians used sesame or sunflower. I chose

sesame because it has immune boosting properties and doesn't taste bad.

You can use the coconut oil, I've read that some people do. Coconut also has

virus killing properties.

Try it in the AM. If you dont like using that oil get the sesame and give it a

shot. It works really well.

A good alternative doctor here recommends it.

 http://www.oilpulling.com/

Says it can heal many things. Explains to use cold pressed polyunsaturated oil

from seeds stimulate the body to detox.  I need to try it again.

 The articles will explain more. I know it doesn't upset the microflora of the

gut. You have to chew swish it. It needs to turn a whitish color. Toxic if

swallowed.

Hi, Steph,

 

Sorry to hear you are in such pain.  You can use any kind of oil for oil

pulling.  Just pick an oil which you don't like for cooking with or eating,

since there is a small chance you will hate the taste of it (and associate it

with oil pulling) after some time using it for that.  I use safflower oil for

oil pulling since I don't like to cook with it anyway.   But essentially, any

oil will do.

 

The best thing to help with tmj pain, is to try not to move your jaw too much. 

But this can be difficult if your joint is actually out of place.  Splints are

wonderful for this but they are pricey to have professionally made.  When my

jaw felt like it was not in the correct position, my doc told me to:

open my mouth as wide as I could, push my lower jaw forward as far as

possible, and then slowly close my mouth, to an aligned position.  Splints

also help after doing this, and here in the States, you can buy a mouth guard

that athletes use and mold a temporary one yourself.  (You put it in  boiling

water and bite on it.)  But the thing here is you need to know first that your

bite is in the right position, so your alignment is correct (and also, the

material used for the splint is possibly not tolerable if you have MCS/EI).  So

it is best to practice the procedure I mentioned (opening mouth, etc) a few

times till you know you are doing it correctly and getting back to the proper

bite.  Also, sometimes from dental work and the irritation of  the jaw being

out of place, you end up with inflammation in the joint.  If you have

inflammation in the joint, sometimes you cannot put your jaw back in place till

the inflammation calms down.  In that

case, there is not much you can do but take pain killers and try to rest your

jaw as much as possible.

Oil pulling will benefit the teeth, in time, by pulling out any (generic term)

parasitic infections you have in the gums and making the teeth less of a

breeding ground for them.  But you have to keep at it long-term.

 

Hope you are soon feeling much better, Steph,

Diane

Hi Steve

I had another amalgam removal session last Friday - 10 days ago now - and am

still on painkillers - had a bad TMJ episode after the treatment which took over

an hour and am still on painkillers - I don't think there is anything wrong with

the teeth or the new restorations themselves - but there has been excessive

sensitivity[ and hence the pain] on a scale like I have never before

experienced, which I am pretty sure is linked to the TMJ - I have spent whatever

computer time I have had recently googling teeth and pain and sensitivity etc

and on an excellent site [www.healingteethnaturally.com] they recommended oil

pulling for the reasons why you did - I haven' tdone it yet because I only have

extra virgin coconut oil and don't have sesame oil - is there any partic reason

why it has to be sesame oil - does it have particular mineral properties or

anyhting which benefit the teeth??

Yes, you should use salt and baking soda (I also use a little peroxide) in order

to get the toxic crap the oil pulls off your teeth after oil pulling.

Hi Diane

Thanks so much for this really helpful information about the TMJ and the oil

pulling. I have tried a couple of times so far to go off the painkillers but

found I had to go back on them - yesterday morning after breakfast [soft soft

porridge] it actually felt like the muscle in the jaw on that side where I had

the work done was in spasm so it was back to the painkillers again! There is

also just such a sensitivity - to hot drinks and to an intake of cold air

[winter has come very early here - snow ice and very cold temps!!!] - I have

been trying to suck on a piece of root ginger every so often and that helps. I

will definitely not be getting any more amalgam replacement done until this

calms down and even then I am going to have to just do one filling at a time and

do it slowly since my TMJ cannot tolerate doing them all in a single sitting [3

more to go!!] I read somewhere that apparently you aren't supposed to do oil

pulling if you still have mercury amalgam in your mouth so is it ok for me to

start doing this even though I haven't got all of mine out?

I know I owe you a reply [or several] from literally ages ago , but things have

been very busy here what with teeth, incapacity [with teeth!] candida [still v

confused] and trying to move back in permantly to my house and getting to grips

with the backlog of undone maintenance that needs to be done. I am sure you are

busy too but you are just a better correspondent and poster than I am. Hope

things are good for you at the moment. Are you moved in now to the new house and

how is it going? Take good care of yourself Diane.

all the best

Hi Steve

Thanks for this - I quite like the taste of coconut oil and sesame oil - I think

I would have to choose an oil I like the flavour of because of needing to keep

it in the mouth for that length of time. Can you use toasted sesame oil you can

get in the supermarket or does it have to be less processed?

Thanks

Steph

It is hard to do especially in the morning I started w 10-15 for now.  If it

makes you  feel ill from it make sure to spit it out & don't swallow.

Mine is turning cloudy, it's working. Have a virus so could be that.

I've heard good things about sesame. I'm using sunflower for now.

I heard a doc. recommend  baking soda for a tooth ache. Never tried it. The

cold feeling on it hurts.

I had many toxic fillings, tooth aches, & root canals.

I don't think the oil would hurt w/o amalgams. You're on your way to healing,

getting toxic things out.

Hi, Steph,

 

I have done oil pulling and I still do have some mercury in my mouth.  You have

to remember that what you pull out into the oil is toxic, of course.  It must

never be swallowed and many say not to spit it even into the sink.  (I do, but

clean the sink well after.)  I am not sure why pulling mercury would be

hazardous if it remains in the oil, if you wash your mouth out thoroughly

afterwards, and then if you brush your teeth well.  You certainly don't want

leave any in your mouth or swallow it, however.  [We eat oily foods daily, if

this were the case, I'd think we would be leaching mercury out while we eat

anyway and swallowing it--which is probably the case.  I am not sure, tho, that

oil pulling would make this any more likely, but you should do what you are

comfortable with.]

 

I am sorry to hear how bad you are (the spasms)!  Unfortunately, while you have

spasms, you will not likely be able to get your jaw back into place, if it is

out.  Spasms like you are describing can cause real inflammation.  (They

probably began with inflammation, but they do not allow the inflammation to heal

and also intensify it.)

 

Besides pain meds, for spasms you can:

 

apply regular ice packs (I liked bags of frozen peas for this).

 

Try to let your jaw relax as much as possible (let it hang open slightly and tie

a scarf loosely around your head so that it supports your jaw, if possible) or

slightly open and support your chin with your hand(s).

 

If you can accomplish this, occasionally (1-2 X every hour or so, gently bring

your teeth together a few times, to try to loosen your muscles.  (DON'T move

jaw from side to side.)

 

The temporary bite stabilizer splint that I mentioned may still help if you can

find one (here they are about $20 US and are sold in the athletic dept of some

shops.  You will most likely have to trash this splint tho after you get your

spasms under control, because the splint will not necessarily be the correct

bite.  I am not sure whether they can be re-boiled and the bite changed.

 

Also, muscle gel or liquid, rubbed not on the jaw, but on the neck and upper

back can help--the kind which provides heat. 

 

A good back massage will also sometimes help greatly.  I have a handheld wand

which is electric, that has a heat and vibration setting with also infrared

which I use when my jaw joint acts up (is also good for those one-sided

migraines I get--used on neck and upper back muscles).  You don't want to

over-use something like this (not necessarily good for ES, either), but 10

to 20 mins 3 or 4 X / day when in pain, works for me.  (Not saying how you'd

react; all hand massagers are not created equal.)  I use this below the ear and

around my neck and upper back.  I don't put it on my jaw joint.

 

No worries about the email, Steph!  Just take it easy and get better soon!  I

will write you a short private mail answering your private questions to me. 

 

Sending healing vibes your way; be well very soon.

Bless you, Dear,

Diane

Hi Steve

I had another amalgam removal session last Friday - 10 days ago now - and am

still on painkillers - had a bad TMJ episode after the treatment which took over

an hour and am still on painkillers - I don't think there is anything wrong with

the teeth or the new restorations themselves - but there has been excessive

sensitivity[ and hence the pain] on a scale like I have never before

experienced, which I am pretty sure is linked to the TMJ - I have spent whatever

computer time I have had recently googling teeth and pain and sensitivity etc

and on an excellent site [www.healingteethnaturally.com] they recommended oil

pulling for the reasons why you did - I haven' tdone it yet because I only have

extra virgin coconut oil and don't have sesame oil - is there any partic reason

why it has to be sesame oil - does it have particular mineral properties or

anyhting which benefit the teeth??

best wishes

Steph

Loni,

I have had 2 recent crowns done. 2 Lava Crowns, which are zirconium, but the

dentist botched them. I had very little tooth left and even though he is a

holistic dentist he preferred to use Gold fused to porcelain because this was a

large molar and the Gold base is stronger. The Gold part was 88% Gold with no

nickel or palladium which is rare. If I had a choice I would go with metal free

though.

If this is a Molar there is an all zirconium crown called Bruxzir which is very

strong but the dentist has to know how to use it. I also had a Clifford

Reactivity test done to see which materials I was allergic to, including cements

and bonding material. A holistic dentist would be able to hook you up with that.

In the meantime if you are in pain I recommend oil pulling. Google it-basically

you take one tablespoon of organic sesame oil and swich it around your mouth for

15 minutes then spit it out. It was amazing how much it helped my pain and my

teeth felt more solid afterwards. This is done in the AM before eating or

drinking anything.

Also, a good mouthwash for pain is VitaMyr. I get it at whole foods, it's pricy

but very good-actually the only one I could tolerate while the temp crown (from

the incompetent dentist) was on my tooth.

Hi Steph,

I've heard that toasted isn't as good and also has a stronger flavor so may not

be as good. Just make sure you use organic cold pressed oils from the health

food store.

Supposedly the oil pulling can loosen a mercury filling. Not sure if this is

true or not.

> I have done oil pulling and I still do have some mercury in my mouth.  You

have to remember that what you pull out into the oil is toxic, of course.  It

must never be swallowed and many say not to spit it even into the sink.  (I do,

but clean the sink well after.)  I am not sure why pulling mercury would be

hazardous if it remains in the oil, if you wash your mouth out thoroughly

afterwards, and then if you brush your teeth well.  You certainly don't want

leave any in your mouth or swallow it, however.  [We eat oily foods daily, if

this were the case, I'd think we would be leaching mercury out while we eat

anyway and swallowing it--which is probably the case.  I am not sure, tho, that

oil pulling would make this any more likely, but you should do what you are

comfortable with.]
