Reports from Neem Users (excerpt from Neem booklet)

[Sherrie]

I have been a neem fan since I was told by the dentist that I needed to have my teeth scaled (scraped below the gum line), which is something I had undergone a number of years ago and swore I would never go through again. I have been listening to a program on the radio hosted by Dr. Bob Marshall for a few years. He said that a few drops of neem oil and a pinch of neem powder massaged into the gums would close a 10 mm pocket in about 14 days. I used it for even longer than that, and at my next dental appointment they were totally amazed at the healing that had taken place. I was too!

I am from India and I grew up eating neem leaves. I was so thrilled when I found out that I can get a neem tree in the USA. Before I got the neem tree, I went to my dentist who said that I had plaque buildup needed a very expensive deep cleaning. I kept postponing it. In the meantime, I got a neem tree and began to eat 10 leaves in the morning and 10 in the evening very religiously.

My dentist is so surprised to see that I don’t have any plaque on my teeth now. My gums are very healthy. It remains part of my daily routine. I take the leaves with me when I go on vacation. After eating the leaves, my mouth feels so fresh that I don’t even feel the need to brush (I do it anyway).

Ten years ago, I suffered a serious back injury. My health became bad and I developed a serious gum disorder from the drugs I had to take. By the time I was finally able to see a dentist, I was in real trouble. They would be able to restore my gums and teeth, but it was going to cost $7,000.00

After reading about neem, I bought a pound of the leaves. I made up my mind I would attack this diligently, and did so by brushing twice a day, sometimes more depending on how my painful mouth could tolerate it, and afterwards soaked my mouth in some neem tea 5 to 6 times a day. Along with this, I drank some weak neem tea once or twice a day. I must say, after a couple of months my pain was gone, the gaps in my gums closed up, and the infection was gone! I also felt better.—like I had been cleansed of many toxins—and I have regained more energy as well.

I went to visit the dental hygienist. She was amazed at the improvement! My gums are not absolutely perfect, but there was a 75% improvement. That’s good enough for me.

My great neem experience was when I went to the dentist. I do not have insurance, so it had been about two years since my last visit. To my dismay, I had some swelling around my gums and the hygienist scheduled an appointment for a periodontal scraping. I immediately purchased the neem toothpaste and the herbal mouthwash and started using them religiously.

Not only did I notice that my teeth were becoming whiter, but at my next scheduled appointment the hygienist was amazed at the improvement in the health of my gums. Instead of the full procedure, I only needed several areas scraped and just deep cleaning on the rest. At my next appointment I was given an excellent report and only needed a normal cleaning. I am happy to give a big A+ to neem.
