Ask the Dentist?? Should you ask the used car slaesman if the car is a good buy? Its what they were taught- its what they have been told.

A must-read that has nothing to do with google.

The murderous fraud that heads of state and industry (or DENTISTS!) have for decades perpetrated on an innocent (IGNORANT and STUPID) public.

Extremely well written and tightly researched.
Have you read it?
You know-google or no google, one only has to do A BIT of AVAILABLE research, beyond asking the dentist !!!. Come to your own conclusions. Lemmings who follow the pack and do what everyone else did do not count as research.

I see a glimmer of hope out there. More "holistic" dentists.
Easy to research. I am hopeful more people will, and also, be open minded to an opinion beyond their dentists.

I wanted to go to holistic dentists over the years but saw one once and he didn't accept the insurance I had, so I had to beg off. I have 3 friends who see only holistic dentists. Just read the link on the difference between traditional and holistic dentistry:

How holistic dentists are different from traditional dentists

At this point in my life, I'm not seeing any dentists as the protocols I'm using for dental health are keeping me in good shape.

"Oil Pulling" with organic coconut or sesame oil has made a big difference, learned it from a holistic dentist and had never heard of it before. My teeth have never looked better. I never use chemicals to whiten them. Also, I have not been sick in years, hmmm could be? There's a reason it's been around for centuries.

By that logic, dentist should be telling patients NOT to use fluoride, brush, or floss and instead drink Mountain Dew and chew candy all day so it will drum up more business for them. Yet, dentists tell patients the opposite...I don't know any used car salesman that will tell you ways to maintain your old car so that you don't have to buy a new one.


Unlike your google doctorate degree, a dentist's degree is based on actual scientific research published in peer-reviewed journals.


Instead of scouring google or facebook for your "evidence", you should be searching pubmed.

As mentioned in the previous post, Use Google to get the low down (and note the site,of course.)
It's just swooshing it in your mouth, pulling the oil thru your teeth. Times vary, mine told me 10 minutes morning and nite. I have cut that in half. Just was too long for me.
I have a Masters in Nursing. But will also look into that Google Degree.
