    this video convinced me that oil pulling is antimicrobial even though the professed conclusion of the video, as espoused by the dentist working with the YouTuber, is that oil pulling doesn’t work, even though there are less bacteria present after the oil pulling.

    before oil pulling: every squiggly purple line inside the empty spaces is a separate spirochete.

    I counted well over a dozen spirochetes wiggling around before the oil pulling.

    it zooms in on one little corridor near the end of the “before” microscope analysis, and in just that one little corridor, you can plainly see half a dozen spirochetes wiggling together.

    after The oil pulling:

    there’s very clearly only one in the entire slide, and the dentist mentions this specifically, but says since there are any spirochetes at all, there’s no difference before and after.

    after the oil pulling with that on screen, the dentist specifically says “there’s no such thing as one mouse” while examining the patient after oil pulling, so you know he’s looking at one spirochete on screen, and you can also plainly only see one on screen, while before the oil pulling, the dentist videos are full of spirochetes, zoomed in or out.

    by what you can count on screen before and after, there are more than 90% fewer bacteria found after the oil pulling, so it seems like oil pulling works for gum disease, at least for this patient.

    I’d love to see more studies on this.

    or a follow-up to that video.
