Oil Pulling


I read a lot about oil pulling and decided to try it with coconut oil. The taste doesn’t bother me, but I have a really hard time concentrating on swishing.  I get busy thinking of other things and wind up just holding it in my mouth. I did notice how much cleaner my teeth felt and my guns stopped bleeding even though I did not get my teeth professionally cleaned for literally years. When I did have them checked they were amazed at the condition of my gums compared to my teeth.  I am careful to spit it into the trash to save the pipes.

That said, I was told that oil pulling does not loosen dental work. I believe that dental work in good condition is not loosened.   BUT, what seems to happen is that if there are cracks and/or leakage that are filled with guck, the oil pulls out the guck and loosens them. This is not really bad, but it can get expensive if it shows up all at once.

I chose to have my teeth pulled and dentures made. Are there toxic materials in my dentures? Probably. However, I never wear them at night and since I live alone, I don’t even wear them every day.  My first molars came in without the enamel closing, so I have had problem teeth from the beginning. Most of them are now just shells. Getting them fixed without root canals (horrible things that you can’t take out, like dentures) was problematic.  I could get crowns, but they don’t last long. In addition, one crown costs about as much as top AND bottom dentures.  This solution is not for most people, but it is my decision. So far I have an upper denture. I had eight upper teeth left when that was done. I have more bottom teeth. When they are down to a few I will get a lower. At that point I probably will need to wear them more. Hopefully that will be awhile yet.  I may have to invest in dentures made of safer materials at that point. At least now there are less toxins in my mouth, most of the time, compared to “silver fillings and gold crowns and inlays.

This is my own personal experience, not a recommendation for you.

YOUNG HEROES

  RICHARD Richard had always dreamed of being a pilot. He finished the required 2 years of college to be a cadet. He was doing well, until he actually had to go airborne. He immediately got airsick. The Navy worked with him and after a few weeks, he was able to learn to fly. The first planes were essentially civilian planes that were almost impossible to stall out, to make it safer to learn. After the basics, they learned to fly on instruments. The student pilot was hooded, so he couldn’t see anything outside the cockpit. The instructor was behind with full vision and the ability to override the student. A couple of instructors weren’t paying attention as the wing of another plane struck Richard and his instructor’s cockpit. That plane made it down, but Richard’s lay in pieces. They finally found 3 arms to verify that both men were killed. GLENN The first military plane they learned to fly was the T-28. They are highly maneuverable, but they take a bit to get up to speed.

Continutation of the race relations memories - Navy

PENSACOLA The First Duty station was Pensacola, Florida. That was southern Alabama culture. There was only one black recruit in the pilot training. The recruits had to do a survival exercise and they were ordered not to touch snakes. Florida has every variety living in the 48 states. He thought he knew which were poisonous and picked one up. He was removed from the program. There were black and white drinking fountains and separate facilities in general. Banks were open on Lincoln’s Birthday and closed on Jefferson Davis’s. This was when Lincoln and Washington had their own birthday holidays. I listened to one of the wives who had been a student at Ole Miss when it was desegregated. She said the student could have cared less. The only time there was trouble was when the reporters paid student to throw rocks. Not saying there weren’t any riots, just her experience. Another friend from Tidewater Virginia. She said at one time she wanted to hug a black person, but just couldn’t.

First Years Civilian

  UNITED Late 60’s Denver We lived in an apartment building with other pilot trainees. There was racial unrest in our country as well as Canada. There were several Canadians recently hired as well as Americans. The comment of one of the Canadians was they would trade us their French for our blacks. Florham Park I stayed with my aunt in Rye, New York, when we first moved to look for a place to rent. My aunt was recently remarried had a black maid left over from her husband’s first wife. She often reminded my aunt that the first wife “didn’t do it that way.” She was the cook and did light housework. She fluffed pillows and did minor vacuuming. She did NOT do heavy work. There was a black man that came once a week to do that. He cleaned the house including polishing the brass doorknobs. What neither had time to do was sweep the stairs into the basement. My aunt did that. While we were out in the yard, she introduced me to her neighbor. After we went back inside, she confided t
