    Friends,

    I feel the need to personally attest to what it is that Ivory soap has 
    done for my mouth.  Four years ago, then fifty one, I started getting 
    pockets between my gums and teeth.  At the dentist's they were always 
    measuring the depth of the pockets, 6 mm, 8mm, 12 mm, etc.  At the time 
    I was tuned in to silver-list and the dialogue on this caused me to 
    begin brushing with soap.  Ivory was the clear choice because this is 
    pure ingredients, nothing to irritate the mouth  (such as essences or 
    the pesticides used in 'anti bacterial soap).


    All those pockets between gums and teeth disappeared and the folks at 
    the dentists witnessed what it is that will kill bacteria in the mouth.  
    Funnily they wouldn't talk about this, just telling me I didn't need to 
    come in quite so often.  Also there was never again much plaque to speak 
    of, so my teeth don't really need cleaning by the dentist.  Neither do I 
    need flossing but rather an occasional tooth pick.


    Bring on the Ivory soap and I love the basic taste.  Could it be that it 
    was a dentist in need of paying customers who spread the detestation of 
    'washing the mouth out with soap?'  Is our option the barbaric slicing 
    away of the gums?


    Reid
