I end up trying out Xylitol gum for 30 days!! I now know the reason why Xylitol pulling didn't work in this experiment (Xylitol is efficient in the early bacteria growth stages, not later). Now that I am using it after meals, it is doing wonders to my mouth! Xylitol gum video: th-cam.com/video/UEuwTuKxUgw/w-d-xo.html I also made a video on how to effectively use Xylitol crystals to get the same benefits as Xylitol gum/mints! Xylitol Crystal usage video: th-cam.com/video/ym7uq6mSyxM/w-d-xo.html
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 !
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.
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!
@@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.
@@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.
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).
@@douxhealth-beauty3196 I had a hairline crack of an eye tooth from a fall several years back with repeated infections since. Infection cleared up fast without an antibiotic, only the Xylitol, and no repeats since starting the Xylitol protocol. Before, the dentist had prescribed a root canal and cap that no longer seem needed at all. All tooth sensitivity has stopped too. Teeth just keep getting stronger. Time will tell, but at least, it seems I now have ample time. Just gotta keep up the good work. Frankly, if using the Xylitol means I don't have to have a root canal and cap, that alone is a big win, I think, especially when I don't have the thousands to pay for all that dental work. It was a relief, since dental infections can be dangerous. I'm thrilled with that alone.
@onedominant I looked up the product you named, there's nothing in those exact words, could you check the name again? I'm using Dr Zellies xylitol mints but they're expensive and hard to get
This video "borrows" heavily from the work of Dr. Ellie Phillips pioneered the popularization of xylitol over 40 years ago. She still makes videos on how to use xylitol correctly. Thank you, Dr. Ellie!
He is using it like oil pulling. He didnt copy anything Dr Ellie does. He is just experimenting with it. Not only dr Ellie could talk about it. I am interested in his study because the amount of products needed for dr Ellie’s protocol is too complicated. It’s good that people are trying to find ways to achieve healthy mouth.
@@judeli9237 Actually, in her book, she does say one could form a flouride mouth wash in the following way: after brushing your teath, just take in 1 tablespoon of water and swish it around. I don't follow this with listerine. I would take it once in the afternoon after a meal so I don't dilute the flouride on my teeth.
@@fabiobrondi8199 thanks. I guess I have very weak enamel, my teeth turned greying yellow after a week of listerine. Now I just brush with crest, take xylitol gums after meals. Will try your method with water swishing too.
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.
@@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.
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 :)
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! ❤
I started oil pulling after my dentist identified deep pockets in my gums. 3 months later, after daily oil pulling the entire time, he was astonished at the health of my gums. He even said they look the best of all his clients! I have wondering about xylitol. This was helpful, Paul. I’ll “stick” to oil! 😁
@@buuqmarabo2778 I use cold pressed, organic castor oil. In a small glass jar, I blend a few drops of dandelion root oil with the castor oil. Shake well before pouring. Dan. Root oil aids in remineralizing teeth… 😊

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).
@@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
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...
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....
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.
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)
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.
@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
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.
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
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.
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 🐖
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
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 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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."
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!
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.
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.
@@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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 :)
There are toothpastes, nasal sprays, and lozenges for dry mouth that all contain Xylitol. I have used them regularly now for 2-3 months, got rid of a nasal infection, no more gum problems, my teeth and gums are healthier than they have been in years.....
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 🤔
Also oil pulling can be once a day or even a few times a week. Xylitol needs to be consumed introduced into the mouth multiple times a day for best efficacy.
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!
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 !!
I make my own toothpaste with 4 ingredients. In a small resealable tub I add about 8 Tbs Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, 3 Tbs Birch Bark Xylitol, 2 Tbs Aluminum Free Baking Soda, and Food Grade Spearmint Essential Oil to taste. (many healthy shakes) I blend it all in my Magic Bullet for 1 minute and pour it into the tub. I put it in the refrigerator for about an hour to set quickly to reduce settling and then keep it at room temperature in the bathroom so it is easy to apply to the toothbrush. It must be kept below 77 deg or it will turn to liquid and the baking soda will settle to the bottom. But once it returns to around 75 degrees it can be re-stirred and the baking soda will be properly suspended back into the oil. I also do a Coconut Oil/Xylitol pull before I go to bed. You can make a 50/50 Coconut Oil/Xylitol blend. Mix it in the Bullet and pour it into a resealable tub so you don't have to deal with the crystals. I just scrape out about a half teaspoon full and pull with it for about 10 minutes before bed and then (wait for it)... I swallow it! 😲 Haven't died yet. 🤷♂ I don't drink or eat anything after that and I feel my mouth and gut flora benefit from it. My teeth and gums have never been healthier, shinier, whiter, (natural white) and stay cleaner feeling for longer. This is by far the healthiest thing you can do for your mouth.
This sounds great, but I wonder about swallowing it…curious if it might be better if you aren’t consuming any bacteria or other things you’re trying to extract from your mouth.
@@lizajane4 The way I look at it is that everything that I'm swallowing, except for the small amount of Xylitol was already in my mouth and was going to be digested anyway at some point. Whether it is alive or is killed now is irrelevant. My body was and is going to digest these things and use them to build a strong immune system. And the Xylitol is going to help build good bacteria in my gut as well. It has been my observation through my life that people that protect themselves from every little thing (germaphobes) seem to always be sick. Especially so if they get outside of their perfect sterile environment. I don't want to be that fragile. I seldom ever get sick and if I do it is over very quickly. I'm 67, very healthy, and not on any medications so I must be doing something right. You know what they say,.. "What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger" 🙂👍
@@lizajane4 I feel that everything that was in my mouth was going to be ingested at some point anyway. And whether any bacteria is dead or alive, our digestive system will still break it down and likely use it to build on our immune system.
Hello Paul. I like your unbiased reporting on xylitol use as well as your introduction in your about page I like your style so you just got a new subscriber. Keep it up 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@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.
Just as a side note-- xylitol works better/is more effective when used multiple times per day. (5 times/day is what's most recommended). I dissolve & swish it around my mouth for 1-2 minutes each time after eating, & it has worked great for me. Reduced plaque accumulation big time!
@lisagardner4814 I'd say 3 or 4 months. I have been using it consistently for about a year, so don't really remember exactly. I do rinse my mouth well with water a couple of times, then use the xylitol. The rinsing seems to help as well. HTH
Incredibly grateful of everyone resharing this refound data and for your very own personal experience… Would love to observe the studies in more depth.
Been on a mostly meat diet. I have largely had to stop brushing or worrying about bad breath. Been doing this 8 years now, no cavities since. I still brush 2 times a week roughly but that's it aside from flossing to get rid of food bits. The bacteria in your mouth eat sugar. If you're not having any.. well. They don't cause issue.
I’ve noticed that also. Since starting a carnivore diet, I’ve had no problems with teeth and bleeding gums. However all this pulling stuff is new to me, and I may start doing the oil pulling.
I have the same experience. So interesting, that no dentist ever told me. (I had big problems with my teeth and gum and would have done anything to heal myself. So glad I found carnivore! 😃)
@_________9996 - to digest meat properly, your mom might want to look into iodine/dr. brownstein. (ramp up iodine/selenium, salt… so enzymes will work properly). Great, that you thrive on high carb! 👍🏼😊
You might want to try Xylitol Gum. I have been using it in the morning when I wake up. I used to brush my teeth but I like this better. Also, I find that if I wake up with a dry or sore throat, this really helps. I don’t use it every day, but quite often. I can’t imagine spending 15 minutes every day swishing stuff around in my mouth. It is much more natural just to chew gum. I do end up swallowing the xylitol though (not the gum) and I don’t know what the long term effects are but I am not a dog so xylitol is not supposed to be toxic for humans and it is not a large amount, just one tablet (chicklet).
I think you would know right away if xylitol bothered you. Some people are sensitive to FODMAPS, sugars. For me, anything ending in "-ol" just gives me a massive stomach ache: sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol. And chewing pretty much means you are going to swallow some of the xylitol, plus air. I'm curious how long you chew, is it 5 minutes or longer? Thanks.
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?
I tried Xylitol gums and chewed between 1-3 each day after meals. At first I felt a real difference inside my mouth, so I continued. After a while I started getting severe, painful stomach cramps and I didn’t have that before, although, I do suffer from IBS which can cause stomach cramping but what I experienced here was painful and prolong discomfort in my stomach. If it works for you, just take it in moderation and remember it won’t replace regular visits to a dentist. I also have suffered from dry mouth due to anxiety that is exacerbated by mouth breathing and not drinking enough water. Since increasing my water intake over time, and breathing through my nose with my mouth close when I sleep, using a Micropore postage size tape over my mouth , I have more saliva in my mouth. Do what works for you and don’t allow the latest health fads to influence you, unless it’s proven to work.
Xylitol is a type of sugar alcohol so it can cause abdominal discomfort. Sugar alcohol is present in a lot of different foods so that might be something to keep an eye out for.
Heyyo, I made a pretty detailed video guide of oil pulling already so here ya go. Good luck! th-cam.com/video/RfMlXfUfFvo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zywHgWqv9Fo9j8_b
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!
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 😟.
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
@@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.
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?
Yup I'm still doing both. Oil pulling with a bit of Erythritol in the morning and Xylitol throughout the day after meals. Mouth feels better than ever 💪 Making a video on it all summarizing everything that works for me so stay tuned for that!
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 had slightly less than an at the teaspoon of xylitol with 1 ounce of water and I switch with that multiple times a day. I do not spit. I swallow because xylitol is a prebiotic and feeds the good bacteria so I will assume it also helps our gut and honestly my gut feels so much better since I’ve been using it for my oral health (1 week) ❤ thank for all your amazing tips
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
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.
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. 🙌🏻
If someone can't ingest xylitol, or doesn't want to, I've been using a certain toothpaste for about 10 years that tightens the tissue of your gums. I had periodontal disease myself, and it reversed from using Weleda Ratanhia toothpaste. There is no fluoride in it. Fluoride was making the inside of my mouth peel a bunch of skin off my cheeks and gums. Crest pro-health was the worst for that. All that stopped after I switched to a non-fluoride toothpaste, especially this one. I also noticed my IBS stopped a couple of months after switching to a non fluoride toothpaste.
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.
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
I find this funny as someone from Finland where xylitol was found/invented and it has been a part of my life always. Great to see others discover it though
Ohh that's awesome to hear it being such a integrated part of your life! I need to go to specialty stores to get my Xylitol fix haha. If I may ask, how do you personally use Xylitol and could you share how/where you see Xylitol in Finland? 🤔 Thanks!
@@MasterEverydayLiving Haha, sure! I mainly use it in the form of chewing gum after a meal, sometimes I might have a pastille or two but gum is the most common option here, I believe. Both products are available pretty much everywhere, in stores, kiosks, pharmacies... There are also many different brands but the most successful and famous one is Jenkki ('yankee' in Finnish lol) which was the first chewing gum sweetened with xylitol in the world. I see and hear about xylitol products in tv and radio ads often in addition to consuming the products myself. I feel like xylitol is especially popular among school children, we always had some after school lunch when I was at school. I certainly hope that xylitol becomes more widespread, it is a great addition to dental health!
@@Sipu97 Really appreciate the reply and its quite interesting how Xylitol is popular in school! Start em young for sparkling teeth ✨ If I ever come across some Jenkki, I'll for sure pick some up! Cheers :D
It’s not new. ‘In 1975 Jenkki introduced the first chewing gum in the world that included xylitol. Xylitol gum was invented in Turku, Finland. The xylitol was originally derived from birch trees.’
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
Here or hear me my friend I dont use toothpaste or xylitol have no bad bacteria in my mouth ! The answer is simple we have to go back to living a better life ,away from fast foods and eliminate all processed sugary foods ! I also stay away from wheat flour too which is inflammatory and makes us sick in the long run ! Good health to you 😊
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.
I actually mix two right now, just not Xylitol. I mix Erythritol and coconut oil for my morning oil pulling and still use Xylitol throughout the day after meals. Through my experimentation, I found that Xylitol really does need to be used right after meals to hit the bacteria in your mouth in its early growth phase.
I haven't come across any studies that show reversal of cavities. However from the studies I have come across, oil pulling lowers the number of streptococcus mutans (cavity bacteria) and Xylitol feeds it the equivalent of empty calories making it less virulent. I personally prefer oil pulling but if I were you, I would try both for a few weeks and see which one works the best for you. Ofc, a good diet and habits are key too. If you haven't fixed the origin of the problem (candy, soda, bad brushing habits, not enough water etc), it doesn't matter how much you Oil/Xylitol pull, the problem will keep coming back!
@@MasterEverydayLiving Hey! I was using some time moutheash named Trisa with xilitol. And combined some toothpastes. One Parodontax and other cheaper but more abrazive. I have braces. First i use floss, after that whater floss, i brush my teeth and ușe Trisa. I have olso some product "Gc my paste plus" a topic paste, but i don't use IT și mutch. So i haved a cavity, not Deep, but 2 -3 milimeters wide... Now... After doing that things and not eating anithing till the next meal, the cavity desapeared. I just shave IT off with something. Now it's not black anymore and the teeth get better, the exterior gets remineralized. So... With Little steps and time it gets better. I will buy some mints something with xilitol. Just in the morning i brush my teeth, (15 minutes all things)in the evening i just use floss ,whater pick and other mouthwash but with xilitol olso. After You eat something is better to use whater pick and whait 15 minutes for the mouth to be more alcaline, after You eat , it becames acidic. After those 15 minutes for example You can brush your teeth, beaucouse when is acidic, the enamel gets soft. You need to whait some timp to remineralizes. I hope this information helps!
I just learned an oil pulling recipe that uses coconut oil (tbl), xylitol (1 tsp), and tea tree oil (4 drops). You take a tea spoon of that mix per pulling. I also saw a doctor recommend chewing xylitol gum after you eat or drink, and at the end of the day.
I got more than I could chew lol with this video😅 ! Thanks for the info Sexi Paul , love your accent too! Going to try GMO free Xylitol on lazy nights! Need to remember to do my weekly oil pulling ! Thanks for reminder xx❤❤
I've been following her routine for over a month now, do need to be more diligent with the use of xylitol throughout the day , some days I'm not as consistent but I do feel a difference in my teeth, they feel stronger and not as sensitive , plus I usually suffer from IBS and one big thing I've noticed since doing this is that I'm having more regular bowel movements (sorry if tmi 😄) I've read that theres a link between oral bacteria and the gut and this definitely seems to be improving mine!
Coconut Oil Pulling is not good for increasing your good oral bacteria or preventing gingivitis. It does not work for both of those conditions even though it does make the mouth and teeth feel clean. Xylitol is good for overall oral health. Just take the Xylitol mints after eating or drinking and even chewing Xylitol gum for the benefits.
@@lolazendejas I've read from another comment on another channel that someone was oil pulling and actually had a filling fall out. Oil pulling loosens debris in between teeth and I can see how it would loosen the filling in the cavity. I would try Xylitol in a bit of water and swishing that around instead.
Xylitol has been indicated in causing imbalance in oral micro biome. I've been using it for years without issue. But recent studies suggest it is not such a positive practice.
@@Auguur Pull with coconut oil and xylitol [for sanitizing] before going to bed then pull with yogurt or a probiotic [to rebalance oral biome] after breakfast.
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. .
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?
Dr. Gerald Curatello, DDS did a presentation on the Dr. Talks platform about the dark side of xylitol. I was using it as a sweetener before that, but his insights made me stop. Definitely worth checking him out! Apparently there was only 1 study done on xylitol that showed great benefits against a specific strain of oral bacteria, but they neglected to look into all the good bacteria that it kills. There are also concerns with heavy metal toxicity bc of how it’s processed.
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

I end up trying out Xylitol gum for 30 days!! I now know the reason why Xylitol pulling didn't work in this experiment (Xylitol is efficient in the early bacteria growth stages, not later). Now that I am using it after meals, it is doing wonders to my mouth! Xylitol gum video: th-cam.com/video/UEuwTuKxUgw/w-d-xo.html
I also made a video on how to effectively use Xylitol crystals to get the same benefits as Xylitol gum/mints! Xylitol Crystal usage video: th-cam.com/video/ym7uq6mSyxM/w-d-xo.html
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???🤔
@MasterEverydayLiving: In order to understand xylitol for the teeth you need to go to the channel "Dr. Ellie Phillips"
Where do you get the gum?

Would love a recipe for the toothpaste!
Do you have specific instructions for this protocol (how many drops, how long, etc) ?
📝
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.

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.
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🌸
So this reversed a severe cavity for you?
@@douxhealth-beauty3196 I had a hairline crack of an eye tooth from a fall several years back with repeated infections since. Infection cleared up fast without an antibiotic, only the Xylitol, and no repeats since starting the Xylitol protocol. Before, the dentist had prescribed a root canal and cap that no longer seem needed at all. All tooth sensitivity has stopped too. Teeth just keep getting stronger. Time will tell, but at least, it seems I now have ample time. Just gotta keep up the good work. Frankly, if using the Xylitol means I don't have to have a root canal and cap, that alone is a big win, I think, especially when I don't have the thousands to pay for all that dental work. It was a relief, since dental infections can be dangerous. I'm thrilled with that alone.
@onedominant I looked up the product you named, there's nothing in those exact words, could you check the name again? I'm using Dr Zellies xylitol mints but they're expensive and hard to get
@@onedominant this is so helpful, much appreciated 🙏💙
This video "borrows" heavily from the work of Dr. Ellie Phillips pioneered the popularization of xylitol over 40 years ago. She still makes videos on how to use xylitol correctly. Thank you, Dr. Ellie!
Dr. Ellie doesn’t think it’s as effective as oil pulling as well?
Love!! Thank you everyone ❤
He is using it like oil pulling. He didnt copy anything Dr Ellie does. He is just experimenting with it. Not only dr Ellie could talk about it. I am interested in his study because the amount of products needed for dr Ellie’s protocol is too complicated. It’s good that people are trying to find ways to achieve healthy mouth.
@@judeli9237 Actually, in her book, she does say one could form a flouride mouth wash in the following way: after brushing your teath, just take in 1 tablespoon of water and swish it around. I don't follow this with listerine. I would take it once in the afternoon after a meal so I don't dilute the flouride on my teeth.
@@fabiobrondi8199 thanks. I guess I have very weak enamel, my teeth turned greying yellow after a week of listerine. Now I just brush with crest, take xylitol gums after meals. Will try your method with water swishing too.
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?
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

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"
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
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!
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?
@@Little_Sidhe same question here, what kind of xylitol, powder?
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.
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
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.
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
Thanks and good luck!@@MasterEverydayLiving
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.
Way, way more reliable studies on xylitol than oil pulling.
Xylitol is toxic to your pets. Please do not overlook this very important fact. Thank you
They are fine. Xylitol is very common in Finland and I haven't heard of anyone's pet suffering because of it. You just have to be careful.
Xylitol is in fact dangerous at least for dogs. It will cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar from insulin release.
Xylotil is toxic to humans
@@Sipu97 Yes, it is toxic to pets... and why should you give your pets xylitol anyway ? !
@@isaiahfiftythree607 And when did I say that you should give it to pets? Oh my god...
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 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
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
I love Dr Ellie!!! I now use xylitol as my only sweetener for everything. Plus I luv the xylitol gums too. It's amazing how it heals cavities!!
Hi there. Thank you for your honesty about your experiences. 😊
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
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.
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!
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'm suprised you don't have more subscribers with such good quality videos, keep it up and I'm sure the algorithm will do it's thing 🫶🏼 new sub 🥰

@@MasterEverydayLivingHave you noticed any whitening effects xylitol pulling?
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 :)
The honesty for your experience made me subscribe. Thank you.
There are toothpastes, nasal sprays, and lozenges for dry mouth that all contain Xylitol. I have used them regularly now for 2-3 months, got rid of a nasal infection, no more gum problems, my teeth and gums are healthier than they have been in years.....
Hi, I am having some issues, could you please share the brand of toothpaste and any other products? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
I like the Pur brand of Xylitol gum…Cinnamon and Bubble Gum are my favorite flavors.
@@theresajg11- Amazon has lots of choices.
@@nadogrlHave you tried the chocolate mint? It's fantastic!
Which nose spray do you use please ?
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 🤔
Why not combine both Xylitol pulling and oil pulling, possibly alternating them?
Oil pulling is before eating or drinking and as I understand xylitol is after for saliva production
Also oil pulling can be once a day or even a few times a week. Xylitol needs to be consumed introduced into the mouth multiple times a day for best efficacy.
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 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 !!
I make my own toothpaste with 4 ingredients. In a small resealable tub I add about 8 Tbs Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, 3 Tbs Birch Bark Xylitol, 2 Tbs Aluminum Free Baking Soda, and Food Grade Spearmint Essential Oil to taste. (many healthy shakes) I blend it all in my Magic Bullet for 1 minute and pour it into the tub. I put it in the refrigerator for about an hour to set quickly to reduce settling and then keep it at room temperature in the bathroom so it is easy to apply to the toothbrush. It must be kept below 77 deg or it will turn to liquid and the baking soda will settle to the bottom. But once it returns to around 75 degrees it can be re-stirred and the baking soda will be properly suspended back into the oil.
I also do a Coconut Oil/Xylitol pull before I go to bed. You can make a 50/50 Coconut Oil/Xylitol blend. Mix it in the Bullet and pour it into a resealable tub so you don't have to deal with the crystals. I just scrape out about a half teaspoon full and pull with it for about 10 minutes before bed and then (wait for it)... I swallow it! 😲 Haven't died yet. 🤷♂ I don't drink or eat anything after that and I feel my mouth and gut flora benefit from it. My teeth and gums have never been healthier, shinier, whiter, (natural white) and stay cleaner feeling for longer. This is by far the healthiest thing you can do for your mouth.
This sounds great, but I wonder about swallowing it…curious if it might be better if you aren’t consuming any bacteria or other things you’re trying to extract from your mouth.
@@lizajane4 The way I look at it is that everything that I'm swallowing, except for the small amount of Xylitol was already in my mouth and was going to be digested anyway at some point. Whether it is alive or is killed now is irrelevant. My body was and is going to digest these things and use them to build a strong immune system. And the Xylitol is going to help build good bacteria in my gut as well. It has been my observation through my life that people that protect themselves from every little thing (germaphobes) seem to always be sick. Especially so if they get outside of their perfect sterile environment. I don't want to be that fragile. I seldom ever get sick and if I do it is over very quickly. I'm 67, very healthy, and not on any medications so I must be doing something right. You know what they say,.. "What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger" 🙂👍
Did you mean Baking Powder or Baking Soda? Just need a clarification on that.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. 😉👍
@@maricarol85 Thank you for catching that. It should have said baking "Soda," not baking powder. I will edit and fix my comment. 👌
@@lizajane4 I feel that everything that was in my mouth was going to be ingested at some point anyway. And whether any bacteria is dead or alive, our digestive system will still break it down and likely use it to build on our immune system.
Hello Paul. I like your unbiased reporting on xylitol use as well as your introduction in your about page I like your style so you just got a new subscriber. Keep it up 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad that you like the content and my style! Cheers :D
😁👍🏼
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.
Just as a side note-- xylitol works better/is more effective when used multiple times per day. (5 times/day is what's most recommended).
I dissolve & swish it around my mouth for 1-2 minutes each time after eating, & it has worked great for me. Reduced plaque accumulation big time!
How long did you use it before seeing a difference?
@lisagardner4814 I'd say 3 or 4 months. I have been using it consistently for about a year, so don't really remember exactly.
I do rinse my mouth well with water
a couple of times, then use the xylitol. The rinsing seems to help as well. HTH
Incredibly grateful of everyone resharing this refound data and for your very own personal experience… Would love to observe the studies in more depth.
Been on a mostly meat diet. I have largely had to stop brushing or worrying about bad breath. Been doing this 8 years now, no cavities since. I still brush 2 times a week roughly but that's it aside from flossing to get rid of food bits.
The bacteria in your mouth eat sugar. If you're not having any.. well. They don't cause issue.
I’ve noticed that also. Since starting a carnivore diet, I’ve had no problems with teeth and bleeding gums.
However all this pulling stuff is new to me, and I may start doing the oil pulling.
I have the same experience. So interesting, that no dentist ever told me. (I had big problems with my teeth and gum and would have done anything to heal myself. So glad I found carnivore! 😃)
Same here on a carnivore diet and with old cavities slowly healing :)
@_________9996 - to digest meat properly, your mom might want to look into iodine/dr. brownstein. (ramp up iodine/selenium, salt… so enzymes will work properly).
Great, that you thrive on high carb! 👍🏼😊
Bacteria will feed on rotting meat stuck in your teeth too let’s be real

DEADLY FOR DOGS - please take care !!!!
Yes. All pets, really
Cats and birds too.
You might want to try Xylitol Gum. I have been using it in the morning when I wake up. I used to brush my teeth but I like this better. Also, I find that if I wake up with a dry or sore throat, this really helps. I don’t use it every day, but quite often. I can’t imagine spending 15 minutes every day swishing stuff around in my mouth. It is much more natural just to chew gum. I do end up swallowing the xylitol though (not the gum) and I don’t know what the long term effects are but I am not a dog so xylitol is not supposed to be toxic for humans and it is not a large amount, just one tablet (chicklet).
Have you seen any effects?
Only effects are my throat feels better...
I think you would know right away if xylitol bothered you. Some people are sensitive to FODMAPS, sugars. For me, anything ending in "-ol" just gives me a massive stomach ache: sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol. And chewing pretty much means you are going to swallow some of the xylitol, plus air.
I'm curious how long you chew, is it 5 minutes or longer? Thanks.
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?
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.
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.
What a wonderful collation of truths your comment section is!
The comment section is really where all the gold is!
Do you think there is a benefit to alternating between the two?
I would think so
Awesome video! I'm addicted to oil pulling with this. Also chew on spry all day.
I tried Xylitol gums and chewed between 1-3 each day after meals. At first I felt a real difference inside my mouth, so I continued. After a while I started getting severe, painful stomach cramps and I didn’t have that before, although, I do suffer from IBS which can cause stomach cramping but what I experienced here was painful and prolong discomfort in my stomach. If it works for you, just take it in moderation and remember it won’t replace regular visits to a dentist. I also have suffered from dry mouth due to anxiety that is exacerbated by mouth breathing and not drinking enough water. Since increasing my water intake over time, and breathing through my nose with my mouth close when I sleep, using a Micropore postage size tape over my mouth , I have more saliva in my mouth. Do what works for you and don’t allow the latest health fads to influence you, unless it’s proven to work.
Xylitol is a type of sugar alcohol so it can cause abdominal discomfort. Sugar alcohol is present in a lot of different foods so that might be something to keep an eye out for.
Same thing happened to me ... plus xylitol produced gas. I do not have IBS.
I’m sure a lot of these health experts are being sponsored which is why they endorse them but never tell you the facts about possible side effects.
Cool video.
How do you do oil pulling and what products do you use?
Tyvm.
Heyyo, I made a pretty detailed video guide of oil pulling already so here ya go. Good luck! th-cam.com/video/RfMlXfUfFvo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zywHgWqv9Fo9j8_b
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!
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 😟.
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.
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.
Thank you-Great video !
Are you still continuing to oil pull, is this taking its’ place, or are you doing both now? Very curious on which to start…. Thanks.
Yup I'm still doing both. Oil pulling with a bit of Erythritol in the morning and Xylitol throughout the day after meals. Mouth feels better than ever 💪 Making a video on it all summarizing everything that works for me so stay tuned for that!
Will do. Great content.. coffee lover as well over here 🎉
Please add a warning that if a dog gets their paws on Xylitol, it's highly toxic and can kill them quickly!
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.
Thanks so much for this, Paul!
I had slightly less than an at the teaspoon of xylitol with 1 ounce of water and I switch with that multiple times a day. I do not spit. I swallow because xylitol is a prebiotic and feeds the good bacteria so I will assume it also helps our gut and honestly my gut feels so much better since I’ve been using it for my oral health (1 week) ❤ thank for all your amazing tips
Thanks for sharing what works for you! My gut is not as happy with me swallowing it so I try to minimize my consumption of Xylitol. Cheers :D
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.
A nice review thanks! Maybe combining oil pulling with 2gr of Xylitol, will try that myself, thanks again!
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.
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.
15 minutes is a long time!!!
Interesting thanks.
I've found zylitol more convenient, because I can Swish with it straight after eating.
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. 🙌🏻
If someone can't ingest xylitol, or doesn't want to, I've been using a certain toothpaste for about 10 years that tightens the tissue of your gums. I had periodontal disease myself, and it reversed from using Weleda Ratanhia toothpaste. There is no fluoride in it.
Fluoride was making the inside of my mouth peel a bunch of skin off my cheeks and gums. Crest pro-health was the worst for that. All that stopped after I switched to a non-fluoride toothpaste, especially this one. I also noticed my IBS stopped a couple of months after switching to a non fluoride toothpaste.
Thanks for the tip! I'm familiar with weleda brand. I also have problem with my gums. I have to buy that toothpaste 😔
Can we not mix coconut oil and xalitol together for oil pulling ?
That's exactly what l do and it works very well
@@jeanetteshaw5177 Many thanks. Gonna start from tomorrow.
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.
Thank you for your thorough research!
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?
sea salt is inferior to Celtic salt.
I find this funny as someone from Finland where xylitol was found/invented and it has been a part of my life always. Great to see others discover it though
Ohh that's awesome to hear it being such a integrated part of your life! I need to go to specialty stores to get my Xylitol fix haha.
If I may ask, how do you personally use Xylitol and could you share how/where you see Xylitol in Finland? 🤔 Thanks!
@@MasterEverydayLiving Haha, sure! I mainly use it in the form of chewing gum after a meal, sometimes I might have a pastille or two but gum is the most common option here, I believe. Both products are available pretty much everywhere, in stores, kiosks, pharmacies...
There are also many different brands but the most successful and famous one is Jenkki ('yankee' in Finnish lol) which was the first chewing gum sweetened with xylitol in the world. I see and hear about xylitol products in tv and radio ads often in addition to consuming the products myself. I feel like xylitol is especially popular among school children, we always had some after school lunch when I was at school.
I certainly hope that xylitol becomes more widespread, it is a great addition to dental health!
@@Sipu97 Really appreciate the reply and its quite interesting how Xylitol is popular in school! Start em young for sparkling teeth ✨
If I ever come across some Jenkki, I'll for sure pick some up! Cheers :D
@@MasterEverydayLiving Happy to share the information :)
It’s not new. ‘In 1975 Jenkki introduced the first chewing gum in the world that included xylitol. Xylitol gum was invented in Turku, Finland. The xylitol was originally derived from birch trees.’
excellent and information... and you're good at being yourself.
Glad you like the content and thanks for the stellar compliment!! Hope you have a great day, cheers :D
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
Here or hear me my friend I dont use toothpaste or xylitol have no bad bacteria in my mouth ! The answer is simple we have to go back to living a better life ,away from fast foods and eliminate all processed sugary foods ! I also stay away from wheat flour too which is inflammatory and makes us sick in the long run !
Good health to you 😊
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.
Hi. Have you thought about mixing the two and seeing how that works? Mixing the same amount of xylitol in the oil as you would do for each of them?
I actually mix two right now, just not Xylitol. I mix Erythritol and coconut oil for my morning oil pulling and still use Xylitol throughout the day after meals. Through my experimentation, I found that Xylitol really does need to be used right after meals to hit the bacteria in your mouth in its early growth phase.
hey what do you recommend for natural beginner cavity healing? oil pulling good diet, and xylitol gums? should be good ?
I haven't come across any studies that show reversal of cavities. However from the studies I have come across, oil pulling lowers the number of streptococcus mutans (cavity bacteria) and Xylitol feeds it the equivalent of empty calories making it less virulent. I personally prefer oil pulling but if I were you, I would try both for a few weeks and see which one works the best for you.
Ofc, a good diet and habits are key too. If you haven't fixed the origin of the problem (candy, soda, bad brushing habits, not enough water etc), it doesn't matter how much you Oil/Xylitol pull, the problem will keep coming back!
@@MasterEverydayLiving Hey! I was using some time moutheash named Trisa with xilitol. And combined some toothpastes. One Parodontax and other cheaper but more abrazive. I have braces. First i use floss, after that whater floss, i brush my teeth and ușe Trisa. I have olso some product "Gc my paste plus" a topic paste, but i don't use IT și mutch. So i haved a cavity, not Deep, but 2 -3 milimeters wide... Now... After doing that things and not eating anithing till the next meal, the cavity desapeared. I just shave IT off with something. Now it's not black anymore and the teeth get better, the exterior gets remineralized. So... With Little steps and time it gets better. I will buy some mints something with xilitol. Just in the morning i brush my teeth, (15 minutes all things)in the evening i just use floss ,whater pick and other mouthwash but with xilitol olso. After You eat something is better to use whater pick and whait 15 minutes for the mouth to be more alcaline, after You eat , it becames acidic. After those 15 minutes for example You can brush your teeth, beaucouse when is acidic, the enamel gets soft. You need to whait some timp to remineralizes. I hope this information helps!
Dr Ellie Phillips has a video on how to reverse cavities.
@@MasterEverydayLiving Try vitamin K2 for cavities
Thank you for experimenting....n not being biased.....n honest....I too think coconut oil pulling suits me fine.....thank you
I just learned an oil pulling recipe that uses coconut oil (tbl), xylitol (1 tsp), and tea tree oil (4 drops).
You take a tea spoon of that mix per pulling.
I also saw a doctor recommend chewing xylitol gum after you eat or drink, and at the end of the day.
I got more than I could chew lol with this video😅 ! Thanks for the info Sexi Paul , love your accent too!
Going to try GMO free Xylitol on lazy nights! Need to remember to do my weekly oil pulling ! Thanks for reminder xx❤❤
U have to follow Dr Ellie Philips complete mouth care system. She is the one who got me started on xylitol!
I've been following her routine for over a month now, do need to be more diligent with the use of xylitol throughout the day , some days I'm not as consistent but I do feel a difference in my teeth, they feel stronger and not as sensitive , plus I usually suffer from IBS and one big thing I've noticed since doing this is that I'm having more regular bowel movements (sorry if tmi 😄) I've read that theres a link between oral bacteria and the gut and this definitely seems to be improving mine!
good advice thanks
@@Naimah_VlogsThis type of "tmi" is the one we need for our health. Thank you.
@@Naimah_Vlogs Xylitol can have a laxative effect. That's probably why your IBS symptoms have improved.
Thank you! Where can I buy that black timer?😊
Coconut Oil Pulling is not good for increasing your good oral bacteria or preventing gingivitis. It does not work for both of those conditions even though it does make the mouth and teeth feel clean. Xylitol is good for overall oral health. Just take the Xylitol mints after eating or drinking and even chewing Xylitol gum for the benefits.
That’s good to know.
Can one do this if you have silver fillings amalgam
@@lolazendejas I've read from another comment on another channel that someone was oil pulling and actually had a filling fall out. Oil pulling loosens debris in between teeth and I can see how it would loosen the filling in the cavity. I would try Xylitol in a bit of water and swishing that around instead.
Xylitol has been indicated in causing imbalance in oral micro biome. I've been using it for years without issue. But recent studies suggest it is not such a positive practice.
@@Auguur Pull with coconut oil and xylitol [for sanitizing] before going to bed then pull with yogurt or a probiotic [to rebalance oral biome] after breakfast.
I can listen to you speak all day long 😌
Its brilliant for dry mouth if you smoke spliffs too 😊
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. .
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?
Dr. Gerald Curatello, DDS did a presentation on the Dr. Talks platform about the dark side of xylitol. I was using it as a sweetener before that, but his insights made me stop. Definitely worth checking him out! Apparently there was only 1 study done on xylitol that showed great benefits against a specific strain of oral bacteria, but they neglected to look into all the good bacteria that it kills. There are also concerns with heavy metal toxicity bc of how it’s processed.
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.
