You're welcome.
> I am just concerned for them if it could harm them in any way. And I am afraid to try it for the reasons of my first questions. I wouldn't mind doing it if it could really help my teeth repair, as I have been told by some faithful pullers that it can...but I have my doubts...
I can't imagine it would be harmful in any way. It's not going to mobilize heavy metals, as they are not fat soluble. Thank God, they're only poorly water soluble. Saliva itself would do a better job of mobilizing heavy metals (which it actually does, if you have amalgam dental restorations). Your liver deals with toxins, not your mouth, so I don't see any relevance there. You're not going to lose vitamins, either.
I think it might have an incidental/behavioural effect of improving oral hygeine, and that's got to be a good thing. But really, who wants to swish oil around their mouth for 20 minutes at a go? Yuck!
