Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this with the hopes of avoiding $1,300 gum grafting surgery after having a root canal (the dentist also cut into my gums to make sure there wasn't anything going on under the gumline that couldn't be seen in an xray---or so she said, I don't know, I had got 20 different opinions from different dentists so I'm still confused as to what the real issue was to begin with). Anyhow, I've been using this faithfully every day for 3 weeks now and my gums have grown back - not to where they are completely "normal", but they've grown back A LOT considering I had ZERO gum around the front of one of my teeth to begin with (you could actually see part of the root). I just ordered my second bottle a few minutes ago, and I am looking forward to going back to the Periodontist in November for a "follow up" and hopefully hearing that the surgery is not going to be needed. I've taken pictures a long the way, and even my family has been amazed and say they can tell a difference from one day to the next. UPDATE (10/1/13): I only used about 1/2 of the second bottle, and it was still working wonders, but I decided to stop using it because it was staining my teeth really bad (on the back side where it can't be seen, but it's still not a pretty sight to me). I've decided to just let the rest of my gums grow on their own (which isn't very much to be "back to normal"), but the progress has definitely slowed down A LOT. I've been using Activated Charcoal to whiten my teeth, but it hasn't been something that comes off in a brushing or two. Also, I went to the regular dentist for a quick follow-up a few weeks after writing the 1st part of my review, and she was impressed with how fast my gums had grown too and asked me what I had been using. I told her, and she asked me what Comfrey is, and said she was not aware that it helped stimulate gum growth. She also told me, "If you don't mind the staining on the back side of your teeth, then I think you should keep using it", which surprised me because I figured she would say that I'm out of my mind for thinking that Comfrey was doing anything to help. Anyhow, I think that I've avoided gum grafting surgery, but I will know for certain next month (November), when I see the periodontist. I'll keep you all updated. UPDATE (2/20/14): Sorry I did not get back to updating this until now (I am three months late)! Anyhow, when I went to the Periodontist in November, he said that no gum grafting surgery was needed! He was very impressed with my progress and said everything was looking great. As noted in the 10/1/13 update, I stopped using the Comfrey and have not used it since - and I can tell. My gums have grown VERY VERY little since then but since my root is no longer exposed, I chose to let it grow at this slow pace rather than staining my teeth. I have another follow-up appointment in a few weeks, I hope that things are still going to be okay since the gums have not grown much since I stopped using the Comfrey.
