Oil Pulling: Simple, Effective Detox Method

[anthony65]

Here is a great link courtesy of 2013!

http://www.oilpulling.com/

Some of the claims:

Dr. (med.) Karach said the OP heals totally “head-aches, bronchitis, tooth pain, thrombosis, eczema, ulcers and diseases of stomach, intestines, heart, blood, kidney, liver, lungs and women’s diseases. It heals diseases of nerves, paralysis, and encephalitis. It prevents the growth of malignant tumors, cuts and heals them. Chronic sleeplessness is cured.”

How it works (dead easy but makes you gag at first! :D)

The method

In the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach you take one tablespoon in the mouth but do not swallow it. Move Oil Slowly in the mouth as rinsing or swishing and Dr Karach puts it as ' sip, suck and pull through the teeth' for fifteen to twenty minutes. This process makes oil thoroughly mixed with saliva. Swishing activates the enzymes and the enzymes draw toxins out of the blood. The oil must not be swallowed, for it has become toxic. As the process continues, the oil gets thinner and white. If the oil is still yellow, it has not been pulled long enough.It is then spit from the mouth , the oral cavity must be thoroughly rinsed and mouth must be washed thoroughly. Just use normal tap water and good old fingers to clean.

Clean the sink properly, you can use some antibacterial soap to clean the sink. Because the spittle contains harmful bacteria and toxic bodily waste. If one were to see one drop of this liquid magnified 600 times under a microscope, one would see microbes in their first stage of development.

It is important to understand that during the oil-pulling/swishing process one's metabolism is intensified. This leads to improved health. One of the most striking results of this process is the fastening of loose teeth, the elimination of bleeding gums and the visible whitening of the teeth.

The oil pulling /swishing is done best before breakfast. To accelerate the healing process, it can be repeated three times a day, but always before meals on an empty stomach.

Thanks anthony - I'm going to try this!

How it works (dead easy but makes you gag at first! :D)

It's curious, but I find in nearly all things - if its good for you it's almost certainly absolutely bloody awful to take!:D

hey ho - such is life:D

[cafetimes1991]

Ye gods this is interesting.I'm looking at the webpage now for more info. I thought it was crude oil at first (you know, like using soot to clean your teeth) :rolleyes:

Thanks for posting!

[rosix]

I'm in my 2nd week of doing this and just right now was going to start a thread in this forum about it :)

[cafetimes1991]

The oil must not be swallowed, for it has become toxic.

Oh no!

But inadvertently if you swallow there is nothing to worry. It will go out through faeces. Nothing is to be done.

Oh, okay!

[rosix]

due to how much mucus and phlegm I have in my passages while OPing, I have to 'swallow' every minute or so I'd say - although it's not swallowing anything directly from my mouth. So far I'm already pleased with some of the results, my teeth are becoming whiter (I've always had off-white, and drink coffee etc.) and most of my hayfever symptoms are greatly reduced (the main reason I wanted to try OPing).

[anthony65]

Don't worry people!

You won't swallow much...

You'll gag first and vomit! :D

** But seriously, it could be that the first times you try this you might gag within seconds...

I did!

Just spit it out and try again.

I can now do it for several minutes in the shower of a morning (just a teaspoonful or even half a tespoon is enough).

Interesting that they say you can repeat it during the day! I might just try that...

Cafetimes....

Crude Oil!

Sunflower Oil! Preferably organic of course :D

Oh... and thanks for the Corrs pic... :cool:

I have sinned in the mind... :o

Several times... :D

Thanks!

I need to cut down on coffee and alcohol!

And chocolate...

And err cake...

Back to the sin thread for me... :o

[rosix]

I'm using organic cold-pressed sunflower oil at the moment, the only times I gag are after I've spat the post-procedure mixture out and am cleansing my mouth with water whilst coughing up all phlegm etc.

Hmmm... Effective, but not always pretty.... :D

[wildhorse]

yeah I have heard of this oil pulling thingy

this is neat timing anthony...as I am on a fast at mo (day 4) and so this would be great when i really dont fancy home colonics :rolleyes:

gunna try this in the morn

i am used to olive oil neat thanks to my gallstones (lemon juice and olive oil mixed is a good liver/gallbladder flush)

all the hints and tips eh :D

[2013]

Good to see this thread up and running and thanks for those who are already trying it out for posting . I tried the snorting salt water treatment several years ago to great effect . It cleared phlegm and catarrh brilliantly , but was so gross i never kept up with it :(Will get some good organic cold pressed oil as soon as i hit the shops and give it a go .)Will post thoughts etc once i start . :D

yes this water-snorting or something similar is something I read up on not too long ago, seemed Indian in origin, and will be doing some time in the near future.

When I'm no longer suffering from hayfever I will be doing all the follow-up to a liver-cleanse (kidney-cleanse, zapping etc.) and then do the liver-cleanse - holy fuck I was disgusted when I saw how many of those stones are in your body!!

[rich]

My better half and I partake in some oil pulling, I don't find it repulsive at all, the only chore for me is the jaw ache! (Plus having a skanky empty can slowly filling with the post yuk!)

Here is a good forum with chit-chat, reflections etc - http://www.curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=738

[aya_rei]

I've heard about this several years ago, over "The Shangri-La" diet boards and tried it.

I'll be honest and say I simply was not disciplined enough with it. It was a ritual I could not get used to at all, just like the shangri-la diet, what with having to spend the first hour of the day without brushing the teeth.

At the time, I did find some testimonies of people even curing cancer through this method - well, this combined with other alternative treatments - so more power to those who can follow a regimen with this and are able to become healthy through oil pulling.

[jolinemaria]

I know this practice from ayurveda. There you use sesame oil.
I didn't keep up with it for some reason.

I'll start again today.

[dancing_with_durga]

My holistic dentist, who is a really great bloke :D, told me about an industrial foundry in Russia where, unsurprisingly, the workforce were all contaminated with heavy metals. The plant's doctor, possibly based on a knowledge of Ayurvedia, introduced this practise, using olive oil. Apparently the procedure was highly successful at detoxifying the workers, and continues to this day. One advantage of using olive oil is that as well as drawing out toxins, you will also absorb the vitamins A and E from the oil.

I must confess that although I tried it a couple of times I didn't like it! Which is ridiculous considering how much olive oil I consume, but then I am a weak-willed westerner... :rolleyes:

.

[cafetimes1991]

Damn! I remembered this practise this morning... then forgot it again and had breakfast. Oh well; I'll try tomorrow. :o

[lostwonderer]

I read about OP a while ago, but it mentioned that seasme seed oil was far more effective.

[cafetimes1991]

I just watched this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaCJW5wpRSU). The guy says he didn't ''discover anything amazing'' but compare his back from a fortnight previously to the contemporary, and it looks a lot better. :cool:

[cafetimes1991]

Okay, everyone, I just tried the oil pulling using Flora sunflower oil. I really hated the taste, but kept it in my mouth for at least five minutes, swishing it around, gargling etc.

[rosix]

no gargling!
if 5minutes turned the oil into that weird white substance, the quality of the oil you're using is crap! :(

[2013]

Tried it this morning , using refined sunflower oil . Will get organic cold pressed oil when i shop next. Did it for about 12 minutes good for a first time . Spat out a lot of white gunk . Gagged a bit at first but wasnt as bad as i thought . Will continue and see how i go . :D

Daft question, but is flora organic?

If it isn't, which I assume is the case, then get some organic oil.

Five minutes is a long time for a beginner.

I was gaging after 10 seconds when I first tried it.

Now I've got accustomed to the taste of the oil and apparently most of the
toxins are gone. I don't gag any more.

Someone mentioned that their teeth looked whiter. I hadn't considered this, but having checked I'd say that the oil has cleaned up my teeth as well! :)

Funny that you mention jaw ache.

Another one of the benefits I've noticed is that regular oil pulling firms up the muscles around the jaw and other facial muscles.

I look months younger! :D

[vreeswijk]

Thanks a million for posting this! I've never heard of oil-pulling before. My gums had been feeling a little sore lately (probably from all of the lemon... I'm on day 28 of a 40 day master cleanse), and I've tried this three times since yesterday and they feel much better. For some reason I also feel like I have just a little bit more energy as well???

After reading this I went out and bought some cold-pressed sunflower oil, and didn't think it tasted bad at all. Going the full 20 minutes was quite easy.

I highly recommend trying this, it's a fairly easy routine to start in the morning.

[state_of_mind]

This sounds very disgusting, YUK

Just added cold-pressed sunflower oil to the shopping list

Tony :)

Thanks for your input!

20 minutes! Good for you!

I just got the Oil Pulling book and I'll add any information that seems relevant.

I actually like the taste of the oil now.... :o

[2013]

Did 15 minutes 3rd day . couldn't get cold pressed oils in local supermarket so just grabbed some almond oil until i get to the organic shop .The stuff i spat out had a slightly beige tinge to it as opposed to the sunflower oil i was using .Maybe the almonds ? will get sesame as soon as .Getting used to it now as well surprisingly quickly . :D

[rosix]

certain oils have certain 'side-effects' or rather certain symptoms of various healing/detoxing/etc. taking place. For example, I've read quite a bit about coconut oil having sometimes quite severe side-effects - one would have their skin covered in salts from the body!

[chris_com283]

I've been using sesame seed oil. It still tastes really strong and is hard to use, but it doesn't make me gag like sunflower oil. Hopefully I'll get some results soon.

[lucky884]

Tried it this morning - no problems at all. I am using organic sunflower oil and managed 15 minutes ok.

It seems that the more toxins that have built up in the body, the more difficult the initial experience of oil pulling will be.

What are the advantages of cold pressed oil rather than simply using organic oil?

[xpleet]

I'm doin with some canola oil (also known as rape oil lol). It's the cheapest i've found around here and is a quite neutral oil but it has some really interesting flavor. Done my first time and I didn't gag at all but what came out of my mouth was whiter than sperm.

And does it also whiten teeth?

[lordzoma]

You shouldn't use canola oil for oil pulling. Try a different oil. It's considered one of the worse ones to use.

[e7304]

Exactly. Canola is baaad or OP and baad period.

[anthony65]

I think it's worth getting top quality organic oil. Half a teaspoon is enough, although I sometimes use a full teaspoon. It lasts for ages!

** I can't be sure that it is the oil pulling, but it's probably either this or the detox cure my wife prepared a couple of months ago that has cleared up my cat allergy.

We had a cat for many years when I was a child before I somehow developed an allergy that remained for many years afterwards. I now suspect that the allergy started after my TB jab as a teenager.

For the first time in nearly 30 years I can give pussy a stroke without sneezing! :)

Which is nice! ;)

[2013]

Having tried walnut oil it was ok taste wise and detox effect , but not as white as the sunflower oil .I have some organic cold pressed sesame oil now so i will post results from that :D

[asgard]

I first came across this at www.earthclinic.com and got some organic sesame to try it. Managed it once (YUK) but I'm determined to try again.

The only thing that put me off was a few people claimed it made their fillings fall out of their teeth. I don't have access to a dentist at the moment so ending up with a shrieking toothache would not be good. Yeah, I know I can treat that but still.....

[krakhead]

Wouldn't just the act of 'swooshing' oil through your teeth for 20 minutes or so cause it to become milky? It would aerate the oil and the bubbles would give it a milky appearance with or without detoxing you in any way.

As you may have already surmised, I'm sceptical as to the efficacy of oil pulling to detox. It doesn't help that the video from the guy who tried it for 2 weeks shows it didn't work for him. If it's such a 'cure-all' how come it didn't work for him?

Maybe try shaking or stirring some oil for 20 minutes to see if it goes white?(just dont do it with your back to the door in case anyone comes in and catches you pmsl how would you explain the container full of thick white goo? ) A good test ,if so then it can be considered dubious .Then again without analyzing the gunk for toxins we cant tell :D

[vreeswijk]

i've also wondered about the possibility that the milky color of the oil is created by aeration from the swishing. i don't want to get my face too close to the toilet water but when i spit the oil out i try to see if this may or may not be the case. if there are bubbles in the oil then they are almost imperceptibly small ones.

either way, all i have to go on at this moment is that my gums feel much much better than they did before along with the fact that afterwards i feel a very mild lift in my energy levels. so far after one week i believe in this practice and will continue to do so.

[krakhead]

i believe in this practice

I guess that's what counts! :)

Saliva is partly responsbile for digesting fats and starches. At a guess that and the swooshing would account for the bubbles and colour change as the digestive effect would chemicaly change the oil.

A controlled, randomized, triple blind study had been conducted to test some of the claims.

The conclusion was that it was as effective as using chlorhexidine mouthwash for riding the mouth of Streptococcus mutans.

A 'cure-all?....I doubted somehow - as good as and less toxic than mouthwash? probably....

It should be clarified that oil pulling cannot actually draw toxins out of the blood as claimed because the oral mucosa does not act as a semi-permeable membrane to allow toxins to pass through. Sesame oil has three lignans: sesamin, sesamolin, and sesaminol; they have antioxidant properties and they also potentiate vitamin E action. Sesame oil has high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids; and lipid peroxidation is reduced, thereby reducing free radical injury to the oral tissues

What a cynical reply taken out of context. Here is the quote in context:

Oil pulling is a simple and effective detox method, from my experience. Others have reported the same.

Try it for yourself and offer your opinion, but the cynical out of context quotes are negative and childish.

Oil pulling is a cure all?

No. But oral hygiene is important and oil pulling appears to contibute to this.

To make it really effective you need to watch the rest of your diet; cut out sugars, processed foods etc.

Why the big style cynicism if you haven't even bothered to try it out for yourself? :confused:

But I am very pleased that there has now been shown to be a study showing that it helps as an alternative mouth wash. Excellent :)

My point about belief appears to have been borne out - and it's something I strongly suspect in a wider realm - if you believe something to be beneficial - it will be beneficial - it has only been shown that it will work as a mouth wash - yet some have experienced a mild energy lift as well. I would suspect this as being somewhat of an endorphin based 'brain reward' feeling following the completion of a task that was enjoyed.

It was not a cynical reply - that's why I used the smiley. If I had meant it to be cynical I would have used - :rolleyes:

I think it's more than just a mouthwash, although this is as you say a good thing in itself. Having an alternative to the flouride-based mouthwashes is GOOD!

From my personal experience there is really something more than belief here. When I first started this I was gagging after 10 seconds. Gradually I held out for more and now I find boredom more of a limiting factor.

I can confirm the tooth whitening effect that some have observed. Although I'm still drinking way too much coffee (and bit too much alcohol) which are my main tooth staining activities.

As for additional benefits. This will clearly vary from individual to individual, but just last week I noted that my 25 year long cat allergy has gone! This may have been the oil pulling or a detox cure that I did a few months back. But the cat allergy is gone! And I reckon it came from my TB jab as a teenager because we had a cat for years with no allergy then suddenly I couldn't touch her without sneezing and getting rashes.

I find the concept of detoxing very important in our modern age, and there are lots of methods, foods to eat, foods to avoid etc which I hope can be discussed on the forum. This is why I reacted to what I perceived as unnecessary cynicism.

One of my personal stories is that my wife is friends with a woman who is a long-standing friend of a homeopathic doctor in our town (so as friends of friends of friends stories go, this one isn't far away).

Anyway, the homeopathic doctor quite recently treated a boy who had fallen into a catatonic state after a multiple vaccination. The doctor diagnosed excessive heavy metals and performed a detox (unfortunately I don't know the details, but I think it concentrated on detoxing the liver... but maybe more).

The boy recovered enough to be able to start talking again.

We are being poisoned left, right and centre. Knowing that there are simple, effective ways of removing these toxins is important to know, try out and share!

:)

[rosix]

start it for whatever reasons you find enough to warrant it (whiter teeth, far healthier alternative to other mouthwashes, whatever etc.)

then if you find further benefits, good for you.

if not, as long as your reasons for starting haven't changed, why stop :)?

[2013]

Been using organic cold pressed sesame oil for a few days now. It doesnt seems as white as the sunflower oil when spat out ? also a lot of seperation of oil and off white stuff .Maybe better oil reacts differently .I am trying to do the full 20 minutes still .Maybe the detox effect lessons after a while , not sure :D

They did in my case.

I also noted that my erections are stiffer and longer lasting...

Could be the viagra though... :rolleyes:

[cafetimes1991]

Any one else try this? I only did it once (see earlier in the thread). :o

[jolinemaria]

Yep, been doing it for 2 weeks now. Forget now and then but not often.
I like it. Feels as if some toxins are indeed removed by it (feeling lighter and clearer).
But no whiter teeth alas.

Using organic sesame oil 5-10 minutes.

There are different opinions in the oil pulling world regarding oils.

I have a book which says that various oils are okay, sunflower, sesame, olive oil...

But the oil they recommend most is....

Coconut oil! :)

Apparently coconut oil is not just healthy, but is supposed to be effective in preventing cancer.

I have to read up more about, but it sounds interesting!

Of course Harry Belafonte knew that long ago... :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqrfDho4Ucg

Coconuts for adults only... ;)

Not you cafetimes! You'll have to wait a few months! :)

[jolinemaria]

Sesame and coconut oil are both held in high esteem in ayurvedic treatments.

[vreeswijk]

i've been doing this at least once a day since the day of the original post with sunflower oil. i've only skipped one or two days, and many of those days i've been doing it twice.

i always seem to notice a mild invigorating feeling after i'm finished. before i started i had sore gums and now they are gone.

will have to look into the coconut oil.

[anthony65]

I got my coconut oil today. In a jar. It looks like face cream! :p

And a tin of coconut milk!

I'm also eating a lot of yellow butter (butter from grass fed cows) on healthy organic bread. My sweet tooth has been under control for the past week or two, which is unusual for me! :o

And I like the oil taste so much now that I've started adding olive oil to all my salads.

My alcohol consumption, which was low, is about to go even lower. I'm not sure, but I feel healthier and somehow the alcohol hits me harder even in small quantities.

Coffee next on the list to go (or at least reduce)! :)

[vreeswijk]

i've lost my taste for alchohol as well, after spending the entire month of june doing the master cleanse and being on a diet of mostly raw fruits/vegetables since (and mostly sardines/eggs for protein).

i've been thinking about getting a big jug of ale but whenever the opportunity arises i basically don't feel like it.

[velasca]

One thing I've noticed is feeling more positive after doing it.

[sheepy]

So this morning I finally plucked up the courage to have a go at oil pulling.

I went for the olive oil (the extra virgin variety) and managed around 2 minutes before having the sensation of wanting to violently heave. I spat out the the oil and proceeded to pour myself a second spoonful.

The second spoonful seemed to me to be much more pleasant tasting than the first and I thus managed another 10 minutes.
After about 10 minutes of oil pulling, I spat out what looked like a mouthful of cum only without the salty aftertaste (or so my friends inform me ;)).

I can't say I noticed any immediate results (except for an apparent locked jaw) but shall nevertheless continue to do this on a regular basis.

In summation, my first time was surprisingly pleasant and I would definitely recommend anyone to suck and see!

I shall keep you posted of all the gory details! :D


PS I am not sure what effect this will have on my sex-life in the long-run but I fear that spitting rather than swallowing may very well become the norm! :o:D

Yeah, this thread got a bit fruity! :D

Thanks for sharing! I have zero problems with the oil now!

We got some coconut oil but I haven't tried it out yet. It's solid up to 25 degrees celsius so it needs to be warmed up a bit.

My wife also got a tin of coconut milk, which I thought was for me to drink. I had a glass, and the taste was okay, a taste of the south seas, but after an hour or I got stomach pains and a couple of hours later I was evacuating my bowels! I was errr... thoroughly cleansed! Then I had a headache the next day, but my wife added the rest of coconut milk to some rice (which was her original plan) and it was great! :)

[biblegirl]

LOL I tried my first oil pulling this morning :D.

It wasn't as gross as I thought it might be, so that was a plus!! Thanks Anthony65 and everyone for posting here, I would like to do this every morning now, and it is fun to have a little "oil pulling support group"! :D

I used the last of my olive oil today, but I do have some coconut oil I'll also try. Maybe it will taste a little better :rolleyes::).

I found using the sunflower oil seemed to produce the whiter gunk when i spat . did work up to 20 minutes most days . found i kept forgetting to swill! The organic cold pressed sesame oil doesn't seem to do as much as in it is still clear when spat out . I went back to sunflower for a day and it was white , although not as white as to start with . Coconut oil is very good , the only non carcinogenic oil to cook with apparently .I can stand any of the oils now taste wise . :D

[QUOTE=anthony65;1121355]There are different opinions in the oil pulling
But the oil they recommend most is....

Coconut oil! :)

Apparently coconut oil is not just healthy, but is supposed to be effective in preventing cancer.

Hi, just discovered this thread, then read couple of articles, then thought, why not cold pressed organic coconut oil? And now confirmed! Have some at home, already ate breakfast, will try it before next meal and report.

When I discovered coconut oil in Bali last year, added 3T to my oatmeal, and began to lose weight naturally. Used it on skin and hair in the sun, did not burn. Magnificent stuff! Then didn't know about pulling. Need a method to extract toxins fast as my last cigarette in my life will be 1/2 hour before this solar eclipse today, July 22. Will report on first try, later. Lake

[lake2348]

after the swish with coconut oil: made it about 12 minutes, spent the time running around doing dishes, picking up, etc, then got so thick and gross gagged and had to spit, was not yellow. Went from clear coco oil to thick white. Used 1 Tablespoon as suggested. Can't imagine doing it 3 times a day, too gross. No cigs in a half hour. :o Thanks for the suggestions.

12 minutes is amazing for a first attempt! I gagged after 12 seconds!

The recommendation is 1 tablespoon, but I use at most one teaspoonful of organic sunflower oil and after a few minutes my mouth is pretty full. It seems to encourage the production of saliva.

Do you fancy starting a coconut thread? There's more to it than just the oil pulling usage.

You don't have to OP 3 times a day, but I have zero problems with the oil now.

And I can't remember a time when my sweet tooth was so under control as in recent weeks.

Has oil pulling finally cured my sugar addiction perhaps? :)

Welcome oil puller!

Another thing I've noted is that my gums look healthier. Unfortunately I can't be completely sure of what kind of improvement there has been, but they look so cute! :)

I've learned to love my gums! :p

[acidjazz]

well has anybody cured some illness with this?

ehhh the only way to know is to try it myself.

[rosix]

within the past few months I started oil-pulling and taking apple cider vinegar and have seemingly cured all my allergies! my asthma seems better too.

Apple cider vinegar and honey in equal measure is a good one for balancing the system . makes you more alkaline apparently.You can buy honegar ready made or make your own up . :D if making your own be sure to water it down to drink it .

I've got some honegar, it freaked me out at first cos I was expecting the usual shivers when taking cider apple vinegar but it doesn't happen with that, lol:D

Just tried this today for the first time with a tablespoon of Carapelli olive oil. Managed about 15 minutes! Definitely felt better after.

Think I will start doing it in the shower. Will have to cut back on the singing a bit tho

You're not supposed to gargle it. Just pull it through your teeth and try to give your tongue a work out.

I finally made the 20 minute mark today. Yay. For some reason the taste of the oil doesn't bother me anymore lol. It seems to do an awesome job cleaning teeth?! I was not expecting that. Is anyone else using olive oil by the way?

Hi biblegirl,

Is this really effective? I am more inclined to believe this if someone has tried and your standing with Orgonite makes me believe you to be a reliable source :D
Edit: NOT THAT THE REST OF YOU ARE NOT, SORRY :o

Thank sunflower oil this thread finally has Biblegirl's authoritative stamp of reliability.... :o

I could think of a few other threads where Biblegirl could step in... :rolleyes:

You'd need a suitable superhero costume of course... ;)

[biblegirl]

Haha! Well I just started the oil pulling, so I haven't experienced long term results yet :p. I would say it feels refreshing though and and my teeth seem to be getting cleaned well from it. I was having some trouble with a painful wisdom tooth, and I had hoped this would help it, I would say on the mornings I remember to do the oil pulling it kind of numbs the pain and I feel fine the rest of the day :D.

[lordzoma]

Oil pulling is singlehandedly the best thing you can do for bad breath. Bad breath is caused by bacteria which is almost completely removed by the oil.

PMSL I didn't mean it too come across like that, but hey ho :)

Started oil pulling myself :)

Day 2: No gag reflex to state as yet, which put me off doing this but took the bull by the horns. Mouth doesn't feel like a cease pit in the mornings like it used too, even after only 2 days. Teeth feel cleaner and a problem wisdom tooth I have is not as problamatic even after only 2 days

I normally get fluffy tongue after sleeping, probably from smoking, oil pulling cleans this up.

All good news so far :D

The oil also gets into places that toothbrushing or even flossing can't.

One day I'll get around to reading up again why oil pulling is so effective and quote some stuff here, but basically oral hygiene is very important for the whole body.

Biblegirl is ace! ;)

It made me think too.

What I was thinking is that each of us has our own particular style, our own particular strengths (and weaknesses). There are some who are good at finding information, some who are good at getting it across, some lead by example, some can reach out to a wider audience and build bridges, some are good at taking on the shit stirrers....

Biblegirl, like Jojo, Hagbard Celine and some others make a very positive contribution to the forum because they get across a very genuine message that makes people feel free to take it or leave it. It's not a style that can be faked, or if it is, it shows.

Some others may have a point, but will never get their message across to a wider audience for a variety of reasons.

Some of the readers of the forum who don't fancy the confrontational threads could focus on the positive ones and join in! I'm sure that there are some more people out there who can rise above the thread warfare and get their messages across.

The same applies to real life as well of course. Some people are more successful at getting their message across. We need this if we're to reach out to the mainstream.

Exactly that, the threads are informative but in a way that lets you decide what is and isn't and not someone forcing their opinion down your throat :)

BTW Day3 of oil pulling for me, still no gag, doesn't look like thats gonna happen for me :D

No real difference to note apart from orally, feeling cleaner!

[biblegirl]

Thanks everyone, it's great to have support! :)

Well i accidentally swallowed some yesterday, doh! ...the nice thing about this oil pulling is, usually when anything hits that painful wisdom tooth of mine, it is quite a shock and makes it ache for a few minutes, but having the oil moving around it actually feels good and it keeps it numb for most of the day. Also I feel quite good afterward (from the detox maybe?), if I manage not to swallow it that is :p.

You must have been in good shape before you started. The gagging is a reaction to the toxins drawn out by the oil and not the oil itself.

** My wife started the oil pulling at the same time as me and she had much less gagging, probably healthier than me, but after a few weeks when I was also having no problems we both had a couple of days where we got the gag reflex. This just happened to coincide with especially heavy chemtrailing. I don't normally notice any effects from the heavy chemtrailing days, but it was noticeable that we both had the same reaction.

Swallowing a bit of the oil is no problem, although not recommended in the first few days when more toxins are being pulled out.

One of the reasons oil pulling is recommended first thing in the morning and before meals is that toxins naturally build up in the mouth, especially the tongue and without the oil pulling you'd just reabsorb them through drinking and eating.

Another reason for oil pulling before meals is that sensitive people have less reaction before rather than after meals.

Oil pulling can be done 3 times a day if you find the time.

The coconut oil pulling is actually rather nice, and supposedly the most effective!

Normally after 20 mins I spit out a thin emulsion, but there have been a couple of occasions when the liquid has been thicker (I still haven't had a gag reflex). I didn't associate it with anything in particular but I will keep a look out for a possible chemtrail link. (I do find occasionally while oil pulling that my lungs feel like I've been smoking and I have to constantly clear my throat - I wonder if it is the same thing)


I've been oil pulling for a few weeks now. It's been great - I'm snoring much less and the quality of my sleep has improved.

My teeth seem to be whiter and a few days ago a small piece of dental plaque came off the back of one of my teeth.

I recommend everyone give it a go:)

[redskywalker]

I would redsky, day 4/5 for me, can't remember lol, is that bad?

I have had a problem wisdom tooth and found that this is not so achy throughout the day. My general oral hygiene was good but my mouth now feels alot cleaner.

It seems to be quite beneficial for all who participate :D

I did read somewhere lucky that oil pulling is great for breaking up mucus and phlegm that builds up so it could be this.

[daseem]

I tried this today for about 10 mins. sunflower cooking oil is all I had to hand. Cant really tell any difference except mouth felt cleaner. My other half also tried it and said she felt really good after doing this and that her teeth were whiter... will try it with some organic oil when I get hold of some. I did'nt gag or find it difficult to do..

[cryst4l]

Hey everyone

Day 6 for me, and one thing that I have really concentrated on whilst oil pulling is to really focus on pulling the oil through the gaps in your teeth.

I have found that this has removed and loosened all sorts of "debris".

With the way my mouth is feeling I wish I could oil pull my whole body :)

[les_paul_robot]

Ah, but when is a tablespoon not a tablespoon?
I thought I knew what one was, until a relative said that what people eat with is a dessert spoon. Apparently, a tablespoon is a bit bigger and used for serving. "Isn't that a ladle?" No, smaller than that.
I doubt it would make that much difference to this, right?

I haven't used more than a teaspoonful of oil and now that I'm using coconut oil I use about half a teaspoon, three times a day though!

The coconut oil is excellent! :)

This may be a daft question but how do you oil pull with coconut oil? It's solid isn't it!? :)

[kajun666]

I just take a swig from the bottle (hemp seed oil) I make sure i get a nice big gobfull, and i swish away. :-)

I do it for the clean feeling it gives me. Great.

[biblegirl]

ha ha, yeah i think you'd have to be pretty talented to swish the solid stuff around :D

you have to get the coconut oil to it's liquid state first, it is usually solid at room temp, so i just put the jar on my range until it warms and turns to liquid :)

Well here I am...Day 1, I'm sat here swishing away. I've got an incredibly sensitive puke nerve so it was a bit of a struggle to start with... but I'm trying not to think about it too much....

.... i'm back! it was ok till it started to thicken up and go white....then I nearly shot it out of my nose! All in all though that wasn't too bad... and simple enough to do :) my teeth feel nice.....if anyone wanted to stroke them?
