30 Bananas a Day!

So I just came across an article online about the benefits of oil pulling. Basically they recommend swishing a tablespoon or so of sesame oil around in your mouth for 15 - 20 min before brushing with a natural toothpaste because the oil pulls plaque and tartar and bacteria etc from your mouth and then you simply spit out the toxins before they have a chance to enter the rest of your body.... They claim it helps to clean the mouth and whiten teeth in addition to preventing and curing some diseases.... Any one try it before? If yes, please give me your experience, if not, what do you use for natural toothpaste?

I've never heard of it.
If it's not evidence-based, even at this late date, why worry about it?
Advice communities change by thinking inductively.  So has natural hygiene, as evidenced by Joel Fuhrman's change into a holistic vegan MD rather than an advocate of 'natural hygiene' as such. 
We ought to be using our chosen theories THAT WORK for us and a community of "sharing vegans" as a BASE from which to compare and contrast with the growing body of health-relevant information that is consistent with the practice of health-seeking ethical veganism, including all the abstentions from alcohol, meat and animal products, and other poisons

I did a lot of it and it seemed to help, but now I think that saliva swishing accomplishes about the same thing.

Try your own saliva for natural toothpaste, or try calcium bentonite clay.

Hocus-pocus.
