This seems to work GREAT! his gums are much healthier and his teeth are clean and he is doing much better-- We really love the Vicco toothpaste...
We also use mostly stevia as a sweetner-- very little sugar in our diet--- we use the unrefined sugar for some recipes.
Same with my hubby! He had really deep pockets and bleeding. Between the water and the oil pulling, his gums are now healed! I just really believe in the oil pulling. It's amazing!
I've used coconut oil a few times. I would surmise that it's probably a good idea to use different oils. I found a forum that had people discussing the different oils, and apparently they have different properties. Sunflower, sesame, and coconut seemed to have the most recommendations. I've wondered about using flax but that would be expensive since you spit it out.
I've never tried Vicco toothpaste, but I've seen it.
I use succanat for baking. Stevia is good but I've never tried it in baking. I've only seen it in liquid form. Do you get powdered/granulated stevia?
