I end up trying out Xylitol gum for 30 days!!
It works wonders for my oral health and I think I know the reason why Xylitol pulling didn't work in this experiment (Xylitol is efficient in the early bacteria growth stages, not later).
Xylitol gum video: czcams.com/video/UEuwTuKxUgw/video.html
you are very clever, the xylitol is definitely bad for your friendly acid loving microbes because its has a ph of 12
I’ve learned that oil pulling with cold pressed hexane free castor oil is way more efficient than oil pulling with unrefined coconut oil. Two minutes with castor oil. I couldn’t stand the coconut oil taste in my mouth after a while.
I barely oil pull now. I use calcium bentonite clay powder, to brush my teeth. It’s great! My teeth are so much whiter than usual. All the stains from behind my teeth are gone. I drink coffee every day! My teeth feel way cleaner; and aren’t feeling dirty as fast as in the past.
I got a two pound container for $20. You can eat this to detox; by adding it to drinking water. Don’t use metal spoons, bowls or cups, with the bentonite.
Thanks for your video!
Isn’t xylitol a sugar substitute???🤔
I was diagnosed with periodontal disease over 15 years ago. I stopped using all toothpastes ,I made my own with coconut oil and a few drops of essential oils ( peppermint, oregano mainly) and i use Xylito .......I have no cavities no bleeding gums, no loose teeth and my dentist who at first called mea bad mother for making my kids toothpaste now confesses what I am doing is working great! Ditch the flouride and the toothpaste and have a happy mouth !
please do u have a toothpaste recipe or is it literally just coconut oil with ess oils?
yes just a few drops melted in with coconut oil@@richa1147
Would love a recipe for the toothpaste!
Do you have specific instructions for this protocol (how many drops, how long, etc) ?
📝
Dental Hygienist here! One tip of using xylitol. Don’t eat or drink for 30 min after. Let the. Ylitol do it’s stuff for those 30 minutes. Your welcome!
Appreciate the tip 📝
I love xylitol but I am a bit worried after the new "studies" and claims about erythritol being dangerous for the heart and the cardiac system. I have seen the benefits of xylitol for teeth but concerned about similarities to erythritol..
@@BlueBlossomsBlues he's spitting it out so that's why it isn't a problem
@@BlueBlossomsBluesjust don’t eat it. It can also be hard on the gut. Some recommend gum etc and I figured just swishing/pulling would be best. It’s also in my toothpaste …Earthpaste… which I recently started swishing before spitting out.
Yes she says an hour
Add xylitol mints after eating or drinking anything. You can buy them in 1 kg bags. The reason the saliva works is because it contains the minerals that remineralize your teeth including underneath the gums .. over time, gum health improves as well. Norway has a long-standing school dental program where children receive xylitol mints after the school lunch. It cut down cavities in school children dramatically. Xylitol comes from birch sap and Norway is known for folklore medicines using birch extracts.
Not Norway. Maybe Finland.
Interesting
I just ordered a steam distilled birch sap extract. Thanks for your comment. I'll try a drop or 2.
What Brand Of Mints In KG Bags !
We Have Bought Pur And Zellie’s ! Is There Anyone You Would Recommend?
Finland.
I used to get cavities every single year. I have a sweet tooth lol. Since 2020 I have been eating xylitol candies and since then I have not had a single cavity! it works!
Where do you get xylitol candies (please)?
@@RobertParkMDAmazon
@@RobertParkMD sold on Amazon or any organic grocery stores e.g. Wholefoods in the USA. Brands : SPRY, X-PUR, Zellies, Epic, Pur.
Best to consume mints or gums instead of the gummies that stick to teeth. Cheers!

I ended up making my own xylitol candies with whatever flavour I like that I can get my hands on - admittedly not sure whether the flavour compounds might be affecting the mouth, though. My candies require only xylitol, liquid flavouring, a cooking pot, a spatula and a silicone candy mold - I prefer the semi-spherical kind people apparently use for making homemade kibble or cookie drops, because they make small enough candies that demould much more easily than fully spherical moulds.
Xylitol is an endothermic compound that can dissolve in an incredibly small amount of water as long as you keep providing it with heat. It is also significantly more voluminous when hot in solution than once set back to crystal, a bit akin to candle wax (except the candle wax is molten, not in solution).
So to make the candy fill your mould with the granular xylitol, to get the volume of xylitol that will roughly fit in your mould, then empty this over into the pot and add a teaspoon of your flavouring. Heat it on low heat. You will notice it dissolving as it heats despite the tiny amount of liquid and you will need to stir (with the aforementioned spatula, but I guess you can use any stirring device you prefer). You might end up needing to add more flavour to dissolve it all (or just for taste preference), but don't add much more because as the xylitol crystallizes it will expulse the flavour and so if you have too much flavour inside your candies then they will crumble to pieces.
Once all the xylitol is dissolved, pour the mixture back into the mould and use the spatula to scrape any of the mixture that hasn't made it into holes into holes. You won't be able to get it all into the holes at first because of the aforementioned higher volume of hot dissolved xylitol. Here I usually leave for 5-10 minutes (or 30, depending on the weather) and then scrape the remainder into the holes, which should still be containing liquid.
You will notice that the xylitol starts crystallizing from the bottom, making the top the most stained with the flavour and potentially significantly crumbly. If crumbly: use less flavour next time, or throw it all back in the pot, reheat on low, allow some water to evaporate and then pour it into the mould again.
I love the control I have over what flavour candy I can make with this, candies I could never find in store AND they're mouth healthy! I recommend going to a specialty baking store to find the most amazing flavours that most stores wouldn't find profitable enough to spend shelf space on. Some cultural food stores might also carry special flavours more common "back home"
I've been doing xylitol for awhile in gum/mints and also dissolving a few tablespoons in water and swishing it for awhile during the day. I definitely do notice an improvement from before I started so there's definitely benefits. However, you must be careful not to expose your dogs as even a very small amount of of xylitol can be lethal.
Some humans have unpleasant reactions too. (Severe abdominal pain and cramping)
@@lenoredavi6137
I think that can be avoided by not swallowing it. I just take a little bit of the granular xylitol that you can get at most stores, swish it around for a bit and then spit it out. I don’t use the gums or mints, since that involves swallowing it with your saliva.
Yes. HIGHLY toxic to dogs. A tiny bit can kill a large dog quickly. A couple pieces of xylitol gum destroys a dog’s liver soon after ingestion.
Xylitol is toxic to your pets. Please do not overlook this very important fact. Thank you
Excellent video! You answered all the questions I had about Xylitol pulling and the comparison pics were very helpful too. I’ve been oil pulling for nearly ten years now with zero downside. Before I had a lot of dental issues and oil pulling took care of all of them. Thank you so much for your clear and informative video! ❤
Find the Real Men. They're hiding them.
The honesty for your experience made me subscribe. Thank you.
It's awesome to see more people getting into xylitol pulling; I first talked about it over 5 years ago! When you use xylitol, you might notice some build-up because it makes you produce more saliva. This is actually a good sign as it helps balance the bacteria in your mouth. But, when you feel your mouth is super clean after using coconut oil, it might be too much of a good thing, since you're also getting rid of the good bacteria your mouth needs. It's all about finding the right balance.
I noticed that with xylitol, even though there's more build-up at first, it usually means your mouth is getting healthier. Your mouth shouldn't feel too clean because having some bacteria is important. Have you thought about comparing what happens in your mouth after using coconut oil for a while versus using xylitol? It could be really interesting to see how each affects the health of your mouth. As a dental hygienist and oral health coach this has been something that I have been working on for years and years :)
He literally DID compare, with pictures
ou can buy good bacteria in chewable-pill form
I remember your post and tried it , do keep doing it now and then.
Thanks for sharing.
Yes yes yes Carrie 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I've tried a number of things over the years to improve the health of gums and teeth. Then, as of late 2023, I discovered Xylotol and how it works. Switched to that. Results have been stunning. I no longer need a root canal the dentist prescribed. Sensitivity is gone. 3-5 minutes, with no food or drink for one hour after, is all you really need. And I don't need a whole teaspoon; 1/4 teaspoon works fine, twice a day, since it takes 12 hours for those bad bacteria to colonize and take hold. It seems this one 3-lb. bag of Xlear Zylo Sweet will also last me for close to nine months, and it was not expensive. I have ditched the oil completely. This works better for me and costs less. It's also more convenient - swish/pull, spit, and portable as well. I think of it as my after-dinner mint now, since it's kind of like having a little dessert in your mouth (if you have a sweet tooth anyway).
Thank you for sharing🌸
AWesome mate ! Thanks for the video ! Keep going the good work !
It's not about xylitol. Support Real Men. The fake men are stealing them away from us. Look around. Real Eyes the truth. Wake up.
Thank you for sharing your experience and forming your opinion based on that experience. I think I’ll try both for a while to see! Nice video!

I make a toothpaste with colloidal silver, coconut oil, baking soda, (food grade diatomaceous, zeolite, and bentonite earths), zylitol, and essential oils* such as clove, rosemary, tea tree, and peppermint.
I use equal parts(usually one teaspoon of each ingredient) of all the dry ingredients and mix the dry ingredients by putting them in a covered bowl giving them a good shake for about 30 seconds, with a spoon to mix I add the 1tablespoon colloidal silver and and mix well Then I add the coconut oil using enough to to make a paste lastly, I add a few drops of whatever essential oil* I want. I keep mine in a covered bowl and have a small spoon inside(the one i use is a sample spoon like the have in ice cream shops to give a taste). I take out a small amount and put it into the palm of my hand and dip my tooth brush into it. I make small batches and it last 2 people about 2 months.
*I like to use essential oils that have antimicrobial properties my personal favorite in tea tree oil. I use only pharmaceutical grade oils and only add 2-4 drops.
If you are taking daily colloidal silver are you blue yet ? This is not an ingredient to take lightly
@@CJDane-rf1jeNo I am not blue. I am very healthy. But, there is a lot of fear mongering from people that do not want us to be healthy. How many people have turned blue from using real colloidal silver? None. The guy that turned blue was not using real colloidal silver plus he was taking massive doses of it so he was very stupid. He certainly did not know what he was doing when he made it. Colloidal silver is very safe when properly made. How many people have died from big pharma medicines? People suffer from massive side effect from prescription drugs taken as directed and even die. If you are taking a medication where one of the know side effect is death or worse disease than the one they are treating I highly recommend that you rethink your options.
@@CJDane-rf1je Well, I have been using colloidal silver for years and the only thing about me that is blue are my eyes but, I was actually born with blue eyes.
Not sure why, but Dr Ellie Phillips says to stay away from clove oil. Can be dangerous, I believe she says.
@@CJDane-rf1je she's not ingesting the colloidal silver though. wouldn't that make the difference in turning blue?
Thank you-Great video !
Dr. Ellie Phillips is life changing! She has a video on xylitol on a 50 min presentation.
she has an ad for a very expensive xylitol product. to be precise i buy my xylitol for 5 bucks a kilo, the guy in the video said around 25 canadian per kg, and so called dr philips sells her gums and mints for around 80-100usd/kg gramm for gramm. and she actually goes out of her way to never say, that any xylitol works, and only mentions her products.
@@EasyGameEh She does tell that any xylitol works
@@masztos9573 yeah, right. yet under every her video no matter long or short there're confused people asking what to do because they can't buy her products and only have crystalline xylitol available to them. so no, she doesn't - her wording is misleading at best.
in fact even to a direct question in the comments if raw xylitol is ok she answers actually, but manages to don't say that it is.
She's not very trustful as she advertises to use listerine in her protocol..
@@EasyGameEhEllie recommends chewing Xylitol gum or mints following meals and snacks to reduce the acid deposits from food and maintaining a somewhat constant supply of xylitol in the saliva throughout the day. Daily Xylitol pulling alone will not achieve that "steady state."
Great presentation (organization and a very pleasant voice.). I've used Xylitol for about a year now, to. keep my dry-mouth at bay. Like you, I feel a slight increase in sensitivity, but it's OK. I still keep a shaker
of Xylitol at my bedside , and I use the Zellies mints for this, also, after meals. You are getting a good early start with close attention to your dental health, so you should see good results to keep on pulling both oil and xyliltol. It's a good investment in your future. Keep up the good work! Good luck.
Greetings fellow Paul! Glad that Xylitol is doing work for you, I did buy some Xylitol gum to try out after meals (not really a gum person but willing to give it a whirl).
Totally agree that taking care of ones health (in this case oral health) is such a good investment that ideally begins early on in life. With that said, better late than never! Cheers :D

Great info thanks. I'm about to make xylitol gummies from herb tea, gelatin, xylitol. Didnt know about those properties of xylitol that you explain. I do find straight xylitol a bit harsh for my mouth though, so probably will go ahead with my idea where it is diluted. I'm planning to make ginger, peppermint, and hibiscus-based (I think this particular one is called cranberry and something).
You can use essential oils - like peppermint
@@djcline5570 not a bad idea in the right dosage 👍 Not sure how it would work out, though, as there is no emulsifying component in my simple little recipe. I might have to add a bit of lemon juice to them or something
@@jennidall1550 you're very welcome!
I learned about the endothermic property of xylitol by accident: I dumped a large amount of the stuff into a bottle of almond flavouring for coffee and the bottle got icy cold over the next half hour
During covid there was a doctor, in Africa who dealt face to face with thousands of covid patience. He sprayed xylitol up his nose so that covid couldn't stick to the inside of his nose. He had not contracted covid when I saw the video
Xlear
I use it
@ lone982 , same with nicotine gum ! Tucker is correct about the good effects of this gum !
Xlear spray has been helpful for sinusitis. It changes the sinus microbiome. I found a similar and deeper effect when using xylitol toothpaste and mints orally .. it took months but seems generally better now with no acute attacks.
@@susanstewart1402 I added colloidal silver to my nasal spray and it works great
Hi there, great video and testimony ! i personaly think that considering the benefits of oil pulling and the benefits of xylitol, you could consider use them both in your dental hygiene , it sounds like a beautiful combo , maybe not necessarily xylitol pulling, but regular use in gums or a little swishing everyday :)
I’ve been oil pulling and simply adding xylitol. Best of both worlds
I was wondering about mixing both
Not too sweet???
@@cpk2GIRL nah I just put about a teaspoon of xylitol. The coconut oil cuts the sweetness quite a bit
Where do you buy xylitol from?
@@chickadee317 same question here, what kind of xylitol, powder?
Thank you for this presentation
I'm finding oil pulling not as pleasant as xylitol pulling. Xylito is making my teeth very smooth feeling. Plus I love that it's convenient to carry around with me and also I can occasionally use it as a sweetner and put in stuff I'm baking I don't use much and I love the fact that I can just spit it out into toilet or sink without having to worry about it clogging up. I suffer from dry mouth. I used to suffer from dry mouth and it really helps out with that and it helps out too with cavities I hear. I think it might be better at building gums since it doesn't destroy all baterial.
Is he talking about xylitol ( sugar) I know it’s not sugar but I use it to sweeten my tea.. is this what you are pulling with?
@@MissFeline- Yes, the same.
@@MissFeline Yes
A better, more appropriate expression/word would be "swishing," rather than "pulling."
Yes.
I really appreciate you doing this research and being a 'guinea pig' at the same time. I have been on the verge of buying this but now I am content to pass. I have lots of tartar and receding gums to repair and started a routine of 1. oil pulling with coconut oil for 10min or so 2. brushing/massaging the gum with a little plain toothpaste (I used to just brush my teeth never thought to instead brush the gums 3, Rinse with Listerine Original (to work that tartar off) 4. 1/4 tsp of pearl powder (swish around and swallow). I like that coconut oil and pearl powder being alkaline and old remedies that counter the acidity of toothpaste and Listerine. I think most of the problems come from a too acidic environment in the mouth from eating not the right foods. I am also stopping the sipping of drinks all day to allow my saliva to do what it was meant to do. But anyway we will see how my experiment goes. Your videos are quite professional, thank you.
Glad you appreciate the experiments that I put my body through! When curiosity strikes, the only way to test it out is to jump into the fray and give it a whirl for yourself :P
Seems like you have a pretty solid routine, I totally agree that diet is a massive aspect to look into. If the catalyst of your problems all stem from something you eat, the problem will continue to persist and all the oral hygiene routines you do are really there just as a band-aid solution.
Good luck with your own experiments! Everyone's body is unique so it's essential to find solutions that work for ones inner guinea pig 🐖
hi i recommend a water flosser i massaging the gums whit it as extra bonus
New studies have shown that Listerine and the such contribute to heart disease by killing off the good microbiome of the mouth, thus no nitric oxide production. Nonetheless these things are still around and dentists are promoting them
I 100 percent agree with you
A couple of drops of Oil of oregano added to the coconut oil might be beneficial for your gums. I’ve been doing it for 10 years (20 minutes every day), and my dental hygienist gets paid for doing practically nothing.
I do oil pulling generally every other day and I also use xylitol daily. I don't think I would compare them or necessarily do xylitol pulling. I just swish a little bit mixed with water around in my mouth right after a meal And then weight a half hour to an hour to actually brush your teeth. This changes the PH of your mouth back to a heathy number, and helps your enamel. And I noticed my gums are WAY less sensitive after doing it for about a year, and it's super easy just to swish it out after a meal...
Do you use ACT for the swishing after the meal?
@@slimelove3493 - Probably not…it has fluoride, and usually people who use natural remedies don’t use commercial chemical products.
I oil pull every day. And just ordered xylitol. Do you just swish it for a minute or so after every meal? I've read people put in their tea, poridge or yoghurt
Yes, I swish about a teaspoon of the water xylitol Combination Right after a meal then I brush about an hour after that at the most. I also generally swallow the xylitol solution As it is a great probiotic I have Read about when it gets into your gut. I use xylitol made from birch Bark and made in the USA If those are available in your area....
@@tabletop9258 thank you, appreciate your response!
Hi, i sent you a comment today on a different video of yours suggesting that you check out ellie phillips. Then i saw that you already had done that, and you had a video on her. I thought your video was balanced and represented a sincere desire to be objective. Also basically i agreed with the points that you made. The things i would like to add are that basically she presents her approach as something that people can use who already have problems with cavities, halitosis, and gum recession, not as something that everyone needs to do. Also, regarding the cost of her method , she makes it clear that you can get all the products yourself in a pharmacy or supermarket. Most of them are products that people already use anyhow (crest, listerine, manual toothbrush). And you don’t need to get floss or an electric toothbrush or go to the dentist, so most people would probably be saving money. Actually, she makes it pretty clear that the only thing you really need to do is to take any form of xylitol five times a day at about a gram each time, and you will be 90% likely to completely clean up your mouth, even without brushing, etc. However it would take several years, and during that time you would still be getting cavities, etc., if you don’t brush and rinse. All the necessary information is available on her youtube channel and her website, including a free download. It is not necessary to get her book, which costs $11 on amazon, or get any of the other things which cost money, including the kit or the boot camp.
I appreciate your input regarding xylitol. Initially, I was contemplating the inclusion of xylitol in my dental regimen. However, based on your feedback, I have decided to continue with oil pulling, as it has consistently proven to be effective for me. Thank you for sharing your experience.
This was very well presented and informative!
Thank you very much for this video.
Amazing - I'm going to try!
I do coconut oil pulling periodically and use xylitol in my coffee or tea as a sweetener with health benefits. That way I get the benefits of both and they are enjoyable experiences. I also have xylitol mints that I use after sweet treats to cut down the bad bacteria.
Very very interesting and informative!I brush my teeth with xylitol sometimes, after your study I don’t think I’ll do pulling.I used to use coconut oil to pull, but recently I learned about Guru Nanda from Shea W. I can’t say enough about the oil or how my mouth and gums feel!Worth every penny and now can’t live without it!
What did you learn about Guru Nanda that made you stop coconut oil pulling?
Thank you for sharing 😊 I have practiced oil pulling for a while. Out of curiosity I have just started practicing xylotol pulling for 10-15 minutes. My mouth feels more fresh and my teeth much more clean. Will try this out for a whole month, and if it keeps feeling good, I will definately continue. Maybe I will mix it up with oil pulling.
I got some Xylitol from Bulk Barn this week ( first time doing this ) and was surprised how much the little I got cost but believe it was less than the bag you shown. I make homemade toothpaste which I plan to use xylitol now going forward. Glad I seen this clip!
I can listen to you speak all day long 😌
Thanks for this info. I don't do any "pulling" but if I was going to start I would at least start with Xylitol. I'm on low carb so I already have Xylitol around the house and I like that I can just spit it down the sink. I also don't like the idea of trying to get rid of the oil.
Thank you so much for this information. I'm a 59-year-old female with poor dental health but i have taken care of my teeth very well starting at age 17 with my own dental insurance and i brush my teeth from 2-6 minutes at least once a day which sounds crazy but both parents and all 4 grandparents had terrible teeth. So i was doomed from the start and my parents didn't take us to the dentist when we were children. For example, I took my younger sister to the dentist and optometrist which i also paid for because our mother refused to. THANK YOU !!
Thank you for experimenting....n not being biased.....n honest....I too think coconut oil pulling suits me fine.....thank you
There are mouthwashes that contain xylitol or hey, you could add xylitol to your oil! Maybe get a double whammy. I chew gum a lot either way xylitol especially after meals and before bed. Interesting study though. I didn’t realize oil pulling helped with that brown in between teeth and you showed it. I’m a big tea drinker and have that. I get lazy about oil pulling but you encouraged me to at least give it a good go. Problem is I forget or get busy 😟.
I do this, and I only paid $8 Canadian for 1/2 kilo on Amazon. I use it after meals and snacks and after drinking coffee.(I drink a lot of coffee and tea) It is easy to carry a large pill bottle of it in my purse when I am out and I also use it in my water flosser. I only do it for a couple of minutes to give the Streptococcus mutans something to eat and starve. (They do not become resistant: It is other weaker strains of bacteria in the mouth that do not eat xylitol. ) I also sometimes use a toothbrush I carry in my purse if my mouth feels icky(technical Canadian term) There was a study at the University of Toronto that suggested doing this multiple times a day is most effective, which is why I adopted the habit as I have.
I should add that I started this routine last month as my dentist discovered a small cavity starting and has scheduled me in to fill it in two weeks. I am going to cancel the appointment and go back in six months to see if this strategy has helped my mouth repair itself.
what toothpaste do you use
Great thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. Question, what if you mix it in with the oil? You think you would get the benefits from both?
I usually like isolating my experiments so I haven't tried mixing the two but I would totally give it a whirl! Right now I'm exploring oil pulling / Erythritol in the morning with Xylitol gum throughout the day and it's been working quite well to keep my mouth primo. So I don't see why mixing the two wouldn't work 🤔
Awesome channel! thanks for the video hope it helps my mom who is a smoker with wanting to heal her teeth
Glad you like the channel and appreciate the comment! If your mom ends up trying it and you see results, feel free to comment with the results you saw! If you don't see any results then... comment that too! Cheers :D
I've been doing this for a while now.
Works very well.
But we gotta do it for over 15 min with vigorous swishing.
I even have my 5yr old do it.
She only can do about 5 minutes, but she excitedly asks to do it herself.
We Oil pull with a combo of
Organic birch Xylitol &
organic coconut oil! 💚
I make a mouth rinse in a ball jar with water, xylitol and Himalayan salt for convenience as it will fully disolve and be readily available for use
You can also add some Pepp.oil to it.😂
Hymilaian salt has all matter of heavy metals in it like chromium, cadmium, etc, that there is no metabolic use for
I’d add a drop of cinnamon essential oil. I use a mixture with oil of oregano.
@@johnanon658 From what I understand, it has approximately the same levels of elements that our bodies have. It's salt with everything still intact, unlike white salt.
Thank you. I stopped using Xylitol because my teeth have not improved. I drank too much xylitol and it was a laxative. Now watching your video, i will try Xylitol pulling and try to help my teeth. Thank you.
Xylitol breaks down biofilms. It could be why people can experience a laxative like effect.
you're not really supposed to drink it in this context.
It dissolves biofilms. You can have those from bacteria and parasites in your gut. It really isn't a laxative per se.
Wow! Thanks for the information. I was curious about xylitol but I only oil pull. I love oil pulling though and will definitely continue w just the coconut oil. Your extensive research on it through your experiment was really great though. 🙌🏻
🦷🦷🦷🦷Thank you Paul! 🦷🦷🦷🦷saving teeth one by one. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for sharing, never heard of this before and I learned a lot. Not sure if I'll try it but very interesting. I cannot eat Xylitol it hurts my stomach but spitting it out is very convenient
Then you can do erythritol. It is similar, works better than X and doesn't have the side effects.
Isn’t Xylitol a sweetener?
It’s good for the teeth and oral hygiene?
Genuine question I am asking… I am so curious and getting intrigued by it.
My body has a somewhat rejection to Xylitol if I consume it. Just using it as Xylitol pulling for around 20 minutes (till the Saliva filled the mouth 😂) after eating.
My dentist commented that there was no calculus (tartar) at all after 1 mouth. I went to the dentist for checkup every month.
Edit : Coconut oil pulling also works wonders. It made my gum better.
i'll take things that never happened for 500, alex
I first learned about oil pulling a good 5 yrs ago, and I havent come across anything better as of yet. I have to say that since I have been oil pulling with coconut oil not only is my teeth squeeky clean but also whiter. I can remember a colleague at work was in so much agnoy with tooth pain, she was using clove oil which literally burned her mouth! I told her to use coconut oil, she came back to me the following day so thankful because the pain had literally gone, as if it never was there in the first place.
Oil pulling kills the good bacteria, necessary for oral health. And it acidifies mouth pH.
Thank you,well done,you put my dilemma to rest!
i usually do oil pulling before i brush my teeth (to supposedly actually remove any bacteria filled residues) and zylitol pulling throughout the day right after meals.
Maan , cool video !!!! a Question here about your protocol with oil pulling? Do you pull with oil before or after brushing the teeth?
I made a video that summarizes all my thoughts and FAQ's when it comes to Oil Pulling here: czcams.com/video/RfMlXfUfFvo/video.html&ab_channel=MasterEverydayLiving
As for a quick answer to your question, I oil pull the first thing in the morning and don't brush before or after. It also stimulates saliva production and ones appetite, a nice byproduct benefit in the morning.
Interesting thanks.
I've found zylitol more convenient, because I can Swish with it straight after eating.
Nicely presented.
Can you mix xylitol with oil pulling or would that mix well?
Thanks for the information and sharing your experience.
i would not compare those two, oil pulling is traditionally done first thing in the morning, and xylitol should be used during the day after meals.. so they go great together
Thank you for this video. I always thought that Xylitol would work better than Coconut oil !
i think it did. those spaces between his teeth looked like zylitol eliminated plaque and tartar build up that the coconut oil pulling did not.
Can you share about oil pulling? The oil you use and what you do? Thank you.
Really interesting video! One thing to mention is that oil pulling shouldn't be done by those with amalgam (silvery grey) fillings as it can cause the filling to loosen. It also speeds up the rate at which mercury is released from the filling.
EDIT: I can't seem to reply with where I got this info from, as my replies are being removed. Really wish I could share that info as there's a lot more info with it that is useful! Sorry everyone.
Edit 2: if you’re interested in the toxicity of mercury, have a look at I A O M T.
(Ignore the spacing, it’s just in case that comment could trigger a deletion)
Please reference where you read this.
I read another comment on another channel a while ago and they said someone oil pulled and actually had a filling fall out! I can see that happening with oil pulling. I brush with coconut oil and don't oil pull for this reason.
@@brendareed5050 did you see my reply? Looks like what I replied has been deleted possibly.
@kalilavalezina That’s interesting… I can see how that might be true. How did you learn this?
Even so, I credit oil pulling with preventing dental surgery when I had a terrible infection. Even with amalgam fillings, it seems to really help my health.
Op, ima need a source on this. I cant imagine why fruit oil would be reactive, particularly w/ amalgum.
Now hydrogen peroxide IS corrosive to metal fillings, so DONT use that unless you want to ingest all that mercury
Have you considered doing a combination and coconut oil and xylitol pulling? Amazon has a couple of combination products they offer.
Great video! Extra saliva product is important because it is saliva that remineralizes teeth. A dry mouth is one of the things that causes cavities.
Glad you like the video! Totally agree with saliva being a super important part of a healthy mouth. Bacteria thrive in a dry mouth and not only will you get cavities but things like bad breath, canker sores, gum issues and so on also are linked with a dry mouth. Cheers!
Interesting. I've been xylitol pulling for a while, but get a sore dry mouth - taking days to heal - when I do it twice per day, or when I chew a xylitol cinnamon gum. (And my partner got a split tongue from that cinnamon gum, but is fine with spearmint). Also, it seems to be yellowing my teeth. So I've been wanting to go back to coconut oil pulling, and this vid has helped me decide that I'm not the only weirdo who doesn't do well on the stuff!
Why not combine both Xylitol pulling and oil pulling, possibly alternating them?
Or make a paste using coconut oil and add xylitol to make it more efficient?
Thank-you. You've encouraged me to experiment with alternating between oil pulling and xylitol pulling. Erythritol is supposed to be even better than xylitol, so it may also be worth a test. All the best.
Cheers and good luck with your own experiments! Would love to hear your experience with the combo down the road. If I ever go down the Erythritol rabbit hole, I'll make sure to mention your comment into the video as the catalyst :P
How come?
I'm not sure but I think it was Dr. Ellie Phillips who said erythritol was just a marketing stunt and not even close to the effectiveness of xylitol.
@@anynamez7048 Could you make your question more specific please?
@@igorpotocnik7231 Thank-you for your comment. I noticed Ellie Phillips sells her own brand of xylitol products. I assume she might want to discourage competition, but I'll do some more research on eythritol, which, from my limited experience, seems to work. I tried xylitol, but it causes pretty serious stomach issues if I swallow it, whereas erythritol doesn't.
I've been brushing with xylitol and oil pulling.
Niceee, how long have you been doing it and how has your experience been? Did you do one of them before the other in the past or jump right into doing both of them at the same time?
Why not do both? Just curious. Expense?
Balance in life. How about implementing both oil pulling a few days a week and xylitol pulling a couple days and then a day or two no pulling at all?
The obvious question here is.. At what point can you still get good results in terms of reduced time?
I use mouthwash occasionally and I notice that I can do a swirl for around 15 seconds and it does a very good job of attacking the harmful flora.
I've tried it with and without brushing and flossing.
Especially if I floss aggressively and don't brush or swirl, I get a lot of tenderness in the gums which I believe is likely due to bacteria.
This is my control (I don't do this normally).
If I floss only and don't brush, but then use mouthwash, I get no tenderness in the gums. Part of this may be due to nerve stimulation, but I believe it is reasonable to draw the conclusion that it it is effective at attacking the bacteria.
Similarly, if I don't have access to a toothbrush, a swish with mouthwash will significantly reduce plaque.
Therefore, my conclusion that the "minimum effective duration" for mouthwash is functionally around 10 to 15 seconds.
I find no particular benefit for longer than that. And when I spit out the mouthwash, it has permeated to all areas of my mouth and remains there for several minutes until the saliva production eventually dilutes it and flushes it down the throat.
Probably the most effective way to do this with xylitol is to create a liquid solution and keep it in a small bottle and use it that way.
Additional benefit here would be that you could do a short duration swish with your xylitol solution a few times per day and really maximize your results.
Just looking at the way the flora operates and the times you have mentioned, I can't think of any reason to use 15 minutes.
I could see anything from 15 seconds to a minute. If it's not effective at that duration, there are better choices.
Increased sensitivity is good. It means your nerves are exposed and calcium is not being drawn. It is an opportunity to regrow enamel & dentin.
I use L-Lysine, L-Arginine, CaCO3, and a pinch of Glycine & beta Alanine. The latter modulate NMDA receptors in the nerves to release calcium. That’s what the bacteria usually do, but the remineralization isn’t good with SM alone. You need Lysine to build the osseous fiber with help of bacterial breakdown of Lysine to give ammonia. If there is no Lysine, the lysine in your enamel& dentin is used. You end up with charcoal. That’s why cavities are black. All carbon, no nitrogen. Good apatite also needs phosphorus in addition to Lysine & Calcium. Enough of it in lipid bilayer of foods.
So you really just need xylitol and a couple amino acids.
are you saying that you use l-lysine, l-arginine, glycine, beta alanine, xylitol and caco3 in a mixture to swish in mouth for a while to help strengthen and to possibly grow enamel?
what is SM?
Is this xylitol the natural sugar replacement? Is this I should use for the pulling?
Its brilliant for dry mouth if you smoke spliffs too 😊
I started doing Baking Soda pulling after brushing, flossing, and water pic. Just guessing that akaline stops acid?
Way, way more reliable studies on xylitol than oil pulling.
not one of the studies mentions how xylitol has a ph of 12 which kills off your friendly acid loving bacteria eventually
look up the strain they use in blis lozenges you will quickly understand how it is a scam to increase ph
Idk if one one has already mentioned this but this dark “shadows” that you mentioned look like what’s known as “black triangles”. They can happen for a couple reasons, one being that when long-standing plaque between teeth gets cleaned, the gaps get revealed where healthy gum tissue used to be. This happened to me when I got a deep cleaning. They’re not very pleasant to look at cosmetically, but it’s better than tartar. I’m not a professional so I can’t say why you got black triangles for sure but I actually think that if Xylitol is the only variable, that it might have been working for you!
Ooohhhh I've been brushing my teeth with it but I'm going to try this
I got liquid xylitol today. Im wondering if you could put a drop in the oil your pulling. 2 in one.
Be careful w essential oils, you can overdo it and damage your teeth root nerves w it!
Very good
Where can you purchase this please?
Sounds great. I might try a mixture of coconut oil and xylitol. Speaking from experience, don't swallow too much of the Xylitol because it can lead to diarrhea. .
and personaly i am very satisfied with my oral hygiene and i use ultrafine powdered clay mixed in salted water (i use sea salt), and it's amazing, zero plaque zero problems ! amazing
How do you use it?
What kind of clay do you use?
Hello channel owner, i have been going coconut oil pulling iwth a coulpe pinches of xylitol, do you think this could get the benbefits of your oil piulling, but with the benbefit that xylitol does to hurt the bacteria?
What about combining xylitol with coconut oil? Then get the benefits of both. I have combined baking soda and hydrogen peroxide with regular toothpaste which gives a different effect, though doing all the time may not be the best thing to do.
Interesting. I'll have to try this. Two questions: How can you keep the Xylitol in your mouth for 15 minutes when it dissolves in water? Why wouldn't it completely dissolve in your mouth?
I would most definitely dissolve with your saliva but it's still present in your mouth. I hope that helps.
I think crunching the xylitol in my mouth would make my teeth sensitive too. it's gotta wear at enamel to while the crystals are manually broken down and i already have enamel issues. thanks for the video
You don’t need to chew or crunch it. Xylitol melts very quickly in the mouth.
I really don’t know why you can’t do both. I’ve seen some made oil solutions with xylitol in them. Just add to your oil?
I do both, small scoop of coconut oil with a bit of raw xylitol for my pulling. No issues. I also use xylitol gum after meals and other times during the day.
Do you think there is a benefit to alternating between the two?
I would think so
Wonder if you could mix coconut oil and xylitol together and oil/sugar pull….
Wondering that too
Question: why can’t you do both? And mix the oil and xylitol 🤔
@MasterEverydayLiving Xylitol + Listerine(bluegreen kind) in a spray bottle is all you need for mouthwash AND brushing. That's it, the end all be all of dental upkeep aside from the rare need for floss and rubber-picks to remove stuck debris.
Can I use xylitol toothpaste.....will it work..... please reply.....
Do you think the xylitol powdered sugar is better?
Dr. Ellie Phillips protocol with xylitol is very good. Just use the xylitol after meals and the last step in tooth brushing routine. So instead of "pulling", a shorter swish after meals or beverages is what you'd do. Or use her mints or gum. It's a good system that keeps my teeth feeling very clean.
Is the xylitol to be used immediately after the last step?
@@mabbas6479 , yes, sort of. No rinsing in-between. First use closys, then brush with crest, then rinse with Listerine, then finish with Act rinse. Done. After having a snack or beverage, use the xylitol. Use the xylitol after every snack/meal and beverage, even water. No need for xylitol immediately after the Act rinse.
I wait 15-30 minutes before I have the mints, you need to let the ACT mouthwash work. After eating or drinking I have it right away. You need 5-6 × a day 1gram for optimal health.
