I just add enough of each to make the texture I want. When the VCO is

liquid, the baking soda sinks to the bottom, so you shouldn't add too much

VCO. I don't know about the peppermint, but I would think you could do very

nicely without any commercial toothpaste added in. Some people include a

bit of sea salt also.

Re: VCO toothpaste

Hi Nina

What great news! Your post is very timely because I have been

thinking of asking people here about making a toothpaste. I think

you might be called up to give us your exact recipe proportions!

Does it fizz (when it hits the water) and is it gritty? What do you

think of the idea of adding peppermint extract, perhaps?

I clean my toothbrush by soaping it with liquid dish detergent which removes

grease and really really rinse it well.

To get the vco toothpaste out of the jar, i use a very tiny platic spatula which

i also clean with the liquid dish detergent.

Re: Re: VCO toothpaste

Mason jar.

I suppose if you are that concerned that the VCO won't

kill whatever is on your toothbrush, you could always

clean it with H2O2 - maybe leave it dipped in

overnight?

Katy,

You might try essentialsupplies.com

I have bought from them many times. They have

pumps that might work if you put your toothpaste

in bottle. Alot of different options, you could use glass jar

if you prefer glass as opposed to plastic. I know I

have personally been switching everything over to

glass because of the dangers of certain plastics.

The nice thing about them is you can buy just 1 if you

want on most items. Anyway, they have lots of options,

sure you could find something that would work for you.

PS. I have seen tubes out there somewhere, where you

fill the crimp the end. If I find a source, I will post later.

Re: VCO toothpaste

OK so now a practical question ... what does one keep the prepared

VCO toothpaste in?

I'm thinking it might get a bit nasty with having a not-very-clean

(in the antibacterial sense) toothbrush dipped into it twice a day.

Shop-bought toothpaste, of, course avoids this problem by being

packaged in a tube or a pump. Soiled toothbrushes and/or toothpaste

just gives me the heebiejeebies ... or is that just me?!

Thoughts?

A glass eye-dropper might work in warm weather (or a

Why not just get a box of craft sticks or even use a plastic spoon to dip a

little toothpaste out and then wash the spoon or throw the stick away. If it is

warm enough to stay liquid, Wal-Mart has plastic squeeze bottles in the beauty

section.

I experimented over the last couple of days with mixing approx equal parts

VCO, Bicarb-Soda (I think this is the same as Baking Soda) and water to see

if I could make it into a consistency that wouldn't set solid and whether it

would separate with good results so far. I put it in the fridge and it

still remained semi-liquid and has a pleasant sweet coconut flavour. Yet to

see how it goes long term and whether with the added water it goes rancid

over a shorter period of time. With the water added to it, it rinses of the

toothbrush without leaving it oily at all. I hope to try a bigger batch

when this all runs out and see how that goes. I will also try to find a

more suitable bottle to put it in then a plain jar.

Ian

Subject: Re: Re: VCO toothpaste

I don't taste the coconut when mixed with baking soda

and peppermint oil. So far I've done, 10 drops of

peppermint oil with 1/2 T of VCO and 1/2 T of baking

soda. Next time, I'll probably try 12 drops of

peppermint oil with 2 drops of Tea Tree oil and the

1/2 T of VCO and 1/2 T of Baking soda.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the salty taste

of the baking soda.

That's great to know, Ian. One option would be to use colloidal silver instead

of the water to get the germ-attacking benefits of CS working too. Yes,

Bicarbonate of Soda is what the English and Australians call it, and in America

it's baking soda.

If it is still runny, I suppose one of those squeezy honey jars with a pointy

top would work, though as I think they are plastic that would not be to the best

standards for everyone.

Mine turned out hard, as I only used VCO and Bicarb, but I chip a bit off with

the toothbrush handle, pop it in my mouth to melt, swish it through the teeth

for a bit, then brush. I guess I could melt it, then add water or CS, and see

what happens. Also some Cloves, maybe.

By the way, I started making my own Tincture of cloves, just a little, last

year. Ground up some fresh cloves, steeped them in vodka. The idea is to

strain them into a bottle, then wash the dregs over with water, and add that to

the bottle. I have just never got around to it, but maybe making toothpaste

would be the ideal spur. I plan to use CS rather than plain water for the job.

I found my old bottle of Oil of Cloves last night, but it may be too old to use

in the mouth now. It was an old remedy for toothache; they used to put in on

some cottonn wool, then put the cotton wool on/in the painful tooth. Makes me

wonder whether it worked by killing the germs.

I got my outstanding results from mixing baking soda with VCO, nothing else.

For me, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I particularly noticed that my teeth were getting pearly whiter and looking

stronger.

Re: VCO toothpaste

I bought some oil of clove today from the pharmacy to use in my next

batch of VCO toothpaste, but I notice it says on the box that

prolonged use might damage gums .......!! Any comments?

Also - have those people who have been using this Bicarb/Baking Soda

VCO version noticed if their teeth are maintaining their whiteness?

I've found in the past with " natural " toothpastes, even the ones

which are supposed to be " whitening " , that my teeth go quite yellow

over time :¬/ Perhaps I should increase the proportion of Baking

Soda in the mixture to help with this?

It's funny that she brought this up. The other night, I was watching an

ABC show called " Wife Swap " . One family was totally into raw food

(including raw meat.) They didn't use chemicals in their house, and they

used a toothpaste made from raw butter and clay. I guess it's the same

sort of idea.

If I didn't have such a problem with the texture of oil in my mouth, I'd

be willing to give it a try.

This makes no sense to me. Fruit contains sugar, and sugar feeds the

beasties that give you bad breath and cause tooth decay. If anything, I'd

imagine that people who ate more meat and less fruit would have healthier

teeth.

I was talking with my mom yesterday (a huge coconut oil devotee), and I

think I might be brave enough to try the coconut oil toothpaste. I'll mix

some up and see what the texture's like. If the texture's ok and the

taste is an issue, I suppose I could add a few drops of clove oil or

something. Maybe a tiny bit of stevia. I've just got to get up the nerve

to try it. :)

When I was not on this diet, I used to get fuzzy teeth

a lot, just a lot of crud sticking to my teeth, now I

don't get that at all. My teeth are almost always

smooth, and nothing sticking to them except the

occassional piece of broccoli which comes out easily.

However I do have ketosis breath but I amused to that,

and it doesn't bother me. I keep powdered cinnamon in

my purse and stick a bit in my mouth when I need it.

An added benefit to the breath freshening qualities is

that is lowers blood sugar and is an antifungal.

I've also considered keeping a little flask of mint

oil or something in my purse.

What is it about the diet that you do not get fuzzy teeth? I am not ont his

diet 100%, ok i am not even on it 50% but i am trying. I am having a hard ti me

with not eating breads n carby thi ng like that.

I really dont have any visible symptoms and my weight is good. I am 5'3 " and

weigh 122lbs, so i am happy with that. I just want to gain more energy and

endurance, so i am trying this diet.

But the fuzzy teeth go t me because mine feel fuzzy a lot. I brush my tongue n

my teeth several times a day.

what is it about this way of eating that allows your teeth to feel so clean

Well I'm not eating any carby foods except veggies.

Things like grains, beans, etc. really stick to your

teeth.. they are sticky.

Veggies don't usually stick much because there's just

not that much sugar in them.

Just wanted to add the higher the sugar (all carbs

turn into sugar/glucose in the body content of a food,

the more it sticks. It sticks in your body, your

heart, your stomach, and to your teeth, feeds candida

and more.

Just imagine if you put an ice cream bar out in the

sun on the sidewalk. Sticky right? Well our bodies

are warm like that, and our mouths too, and those

things get sticky all over inside us, just like on the

sidewalk.

Now fats, those lubricate everywhere, just like they

do outside the body.. they make everything smooth,

gliding, etc. Just like oils do in your car engine.

Add sugar to your gas tank, and your car gets stuck!

Same thing with your body.

Is there a recipe for the VCO toothpaste, I might have missed it in the files.

Thanks much.

[ ] Re: VCO Toothpaste

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that trying mint in the toothpaste

didn't go over very well. I thought it sounded delicious, and I

love fresh mint, but something about it didn't mix very well with

the coconut flavor. Maybe it depends on the coconut oil - I've read

on here that some brands don't have as much taste as others. Mine

has a very strong coconut taste, which I like, but didn't blend with

the mint. My 5-year-old son (he helped me make it) said it was the

worst thing he's ever tasted :) I thought that was funny, because

how much could he really have to compare it to at age 5? It

definitely wasn't THAT bad, just not as yummy as I hoped for.

We also tried putting a little bit of vanilla in it (a separate

batch, not with the mint), but it wasn't too great either.

I wonder if maybe orange or lime might be good - maybe it would

taste like a tropical drink :)

I'll let you know if I discover anything outstanding.
