The resolvins are derived from EPA and DHA, which are in fish oil. Why not take fish oil and see if that helps? Joel - Are you sure that you need to get resolvins to solve your receding gum problem?

Not everyone eats the same food and therefore makes an educated decision. I, for one, had eliminated all fats from my diet (all I ate was fruit and veg with the odd bit of chicken breast) for a long time and whilst this eliminated some things, it compounded others. I became very thin, felt weak, had sore gums, thin hair, had equilibrium problems, etc., just to mention a few. Does anyone else have similar experiences?

If you live in any Western industrialized country (including Israel), you are in NO danger of an Omega 6 deficiency---ever, unless you really work HARD to eliminate these fats from your diet. And you don't need any supplemental fats with Omega 6, the one exception may be Gamma Linoleic Acid and you should only take it if you are taking a lot (a lot!) of Omega 3 fatty acids. The predominant diet in the US and Europe has Omega 6 fatty acids in abundance/excess and the reason people are adding Omega 3s to their diet is because they have been removed from the diet due to processing (they go rancid amazingly quickly). For example, I was taking Coromega in the evening before bed and thought that it would just slide down my throat. I would wake up in the morning with the flavor of rancid almonds in my mouth and with dark mucus (YUCK!)--it was the Coromega having gone rancid in my throat overnight with much exposure to oxygen (I'm a mouth breather). So try to get 1:1 Omega 6:Omega 3 by reducing your Omega 6 intake while increasing your Omega 3s! People!

You hold it in your mouth for 45 seconds and it hits the brain in 60 seconds. If you swallow liquid or take capsules you lose up to 60% in the digestion process and it takes hours to get into your bloodstream. From the sublingual formulation you can get as much as 85% absorption.

I've been doing this for 2 years now. There are two theories out there about the "OP". First, there are some bacteria in the mouth that cannot be removed by conventional means. They seem however to be oil soluable. They are the nasties that build the yellow cities on your teeth, releasing harmful acids. And acidic mouth is an unhealthy mouth. There is something in the oil, perhaps their acids, that seem to vanquish these buggers. Secondly, what do you think about sublingual absorbtion of EFA's as opposed to ingesting? They use Oleic Acid in pharmaceuticals for sublingual medication as an enhancer. What is the difference between sublingual and ingesting medication? What role do the stomach acids play in ingestion? Would you get more benefit from one, as opposed to the other? Could it be that swishing oil around your mouth might be a more efficient way to get the EFA's? How long does it take for sublingual medication to hit the bloodstream? From what I read, Flax Seed Oil while wonderful for you, is too lopsided. Flax is very rich in Omega-3 and low in Omega-6 (n-3: n-6 ratio is usually between 3.5: 1 and 4: 1). Exclusive use of flax oil can lead to Omega-6 deficiency within 2-8 months. Using CLA (conjugated linoleic acid, a trans- fatty acid which is produced by shifting a double bond and twisting the molecule of the n-6 EFA, LA) in addition to flax oil can lead to Omega-6 deficiency symptoms even sooner than flax oil used alone. Omega-6 deficiency symptoms from too much flax oil can be reversed either by lowering Omega-3 intake or by increasing Omega-6 intake. All in all, my dental health has never been this good since swishing oil around my mouth for 20 minutes each day. I use a good balanced 3-6-9 oil. My skin, my hair, my teeth....it's not my imagination. No one has scientifically studied this except a Dr. Karach, a Russian Doctor who claimed it cured his chronic blood disease. His writings are in Russian and unavailable. Thanks for listening. Ann I had to chime in on the Oil Pulling. I’ve been doing this for 2 years now. There are two theories out there about the “OP”.
