Looks essentials THE HELPERS GUIDE

Andro, its been a week of OP for you, anything? I have EVOO and managed almost 10 minutes for 2 days now. Hoping for whiter teeth at a minimum.

Many Eastern medicines were curing people long before the West discovered aspirin. Holistic healing starts with an open mind.

Interesting thread, JB

Started on 4/22?

First couple of days I neglected to brush first— I had some burning in the mouth for most of the day— now I’m brushing with baking soda both pre and post and no more burning.

I’ve a number of issues with my teeth and gum— as a dentist once told me, I have pretty shitty dental architecture— not that the teeth are all crooked, but tightly place and problematic.

By my age [mid-40s] my father already had two bridges — actually he had them done in his mid-30s.

I’m interested in any general potential health bennies to my mouth, not just whiter teeth.

So far a soft tooth seems less problematic and the teeth generally seem ‘pearlier’— not simply whiter but pearlier.

How much of this is from the OP per se and how much form increased attention to oral hygiene over the last week is unclear— swishing around the mouth for 10-20 minutes will pull up a lot of crap regardless of the medium.

I’m using EVOO— many of the sites I’ve found recommend it as potentially less ‘problematic’ than sesame, including the site linked to in the OP [Original Post]

Yeah, I read up on it quite a bit too. I really can’t see any harm in trying it, let along the potential benefits. I’m going to keep it up for a while and see. Hope it helps for you too.

Sorry I jumped to conclusions. I thought you had typed up that whole thing, not copy and paste. The website must be selling something, or doing self-promotion. Sorry for the semi-personal attack, had a crappy night.

absolute 0, why do you feel everything about you is ugly? That’s a very negative look at things. As for the runway models, while not everyone is born with the face of a runway model, everyone can have a body like one, it just takes the work and self-discipline. I had a conversation with some friends just yesterday about it. The public wants a 6 pack, but they have to realize it takes dedication and hard work, and has to go on for your whole life, to be healthy and look that way.

You can do a lot of things to improve yourself, so don’t think everything about u is ugly. And if you think that way, at least realize you can control what you look like, and use your low self esteem as fuel to improve yourself.

If you think about it.. Again from a scientific point, sexy is a form of a provider and respect.

Women are not ONLY appreciating your body but the effort and time you put into it. (Subconsciously of course) The healthier and fit looking you are, the more likely you’ll be able to support her and not die. Talking from a prehistoric time. Now days, your just arm candy.

Thanks for the tips so far — you are right about the eyebrows. Especially as you get older and they start to get bushy-er.

I bought some sesame oil yesterday - cooking stuff - and man was it gross. I’ll have to go past my local Hare Krishna shop and see if they have any organic virgin sesame oil.

Edit: I now realize it must have been roasted sesame oil. I can still feel the taste of burnt bread in my mouth.

:rolling:

Man, I really don’t know. I have always been insecure my whole life and I really hate myself for being like that but lately I’m learning to accept the fact that everyone is just different in their own way. So I must deal with it or I’ll never be truly happy in this life. Anyway, thanks for the uplift. It will surely help me and I’ll follow your advice.

If you’re just after whiter teeth an easier method I’ve found is to use Hydrogen Peroxide (h2o2) and swish it around your mouth a minute before brushing.. a week of this and you’ll see results, two weeks and they’ll be pearls.. there’s no need to use it everyday. It’s still dangerous, read below, don’t swallow:

As for things other than whiter teeth, I haven’t read anyone having success from Oil Pulling.

Yea, it is the case for me as well, been doing OP 3 or 4 times now for the last week.
Maybe it gotten a little bit whiter but it best described as pearlier.

From JellyBelly’s link in the first post:
“A worsening of symptoms is an excellent indication that the disease/ailment is being cured.”

Not always.

I hereby announce a scientific study with one subject participating:

Since I am getting a crown on one of my molars, my dentist took a color check - 3.5 was the verdict - of my teeth (using a standardised chart) to send to the dental technician. In two weeks, I’ll be back to have him install it, and I will then have him make another color check on my teeth. If they have whitened, we’ll see. And I can always go back again, since I have a fixed color value known before starting to OP with sesame oil (by the way, the virgin organic - unroasted - was perfectly OK to use).

Beware— OP may be contraindicated with dental hardware— read through the site linked to in the first post.
