Guest guest Report post Posted August 8, 2006 Will other oils work? Like olive oil? Linda - ann4cure Monday, August 07, 2006 8:49 PM Oil Pulling Does anyone know about this therapy? I have been doing this for 6 months with amazing results. It sounds very wacky, but it's easy and cheap with no special products to buy. The testimonials on the internet about it are amazing from people doing it right now. It is an old Russian Folk Remedy, as well as something practiced in the Ayurveda tradition. The first time I read it was in the Andreas Moritz book " The Amazing Liver and Gall Bladder Flush " . Something just resonated with me. So I decided to give it a try, and now I'm finding there are tons of people all over the world practicing this. Check it out, and let me know if you have any questions. http://oilpulling.com/ It is basically swishing Sesame Oil or Sunflower Oil around your mouth for 15-20 minutes on an empty stomach. It pulls toxins from your blood and bacteria from your mouth. At the end of the swishing (pulling) you spit it out, and rinse with warm sea salt water. The reason you do this for 20 minutes is that all the blood in your body filters through the big vein under you tongue every 20 minutes. It stimulates your liver to produce bile. It increases metabolism. One of the side effects is much white teeth, fresher breath, and healthy looking gums. Heck, if that's all I got, then great!! The testimonials I have read are from people with awesome dentists visits, and lessing of deep pockets in gums, allowing them to avoid gum surgery. I have now read about people who say it has cured their dandruff, lessened psoriasis, healed cracked heels, lessened asthma and drained sinuses. I can attest to the sinus condition being better. My husband and I used to be very congested all the time, and this has definitely helped a lot. Also, in the 6 months I've done this I have not been sick once. Can you tell I like it? You might think I'm crazy, but it's so benign, you should give it a try!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted August 9, 2006 I love the idea of this, and am going to try it. If all it does is give me whiter teeth I'm happy! But do you have to do it every day??? For how long?

Guest guest Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Certainly you can. Actually Andreas Moritz says that either sesame seed or olive are good oils. But it you go to that Oil Pulling site, Dr. Karach says to use either Sesame or Sunflower. Sesame is a bit strong in flavor, and sunflower is very light. Olive would be fairly strong in flavor to I'd suspect. I prefer the sunflower (expeller pressed, not refined cooking). , " Linda Bumpas " <lindabumpas wrote: > > Will other oils work?

Guest guest Report post Posted August 10, 2006 I first heard about this in a German book and it also recommended sunflower oil. I've tried it a few times but found it kind of " yukky " but it's cheap and effective so if you can stomach it, it's sure worth adding into your wellness routine.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 12, 2006 Yes, it takes a bit getting used to, but if you continue, I think that you get used to it very quickly. Now I am totally hooked on it and can't imagine starting my day without it. It's almost zen-like. Adding the oregano oil and tea tree oil definitely adds a bit of zest to the whole process, and it's good for your dental health also!

Guest guest Report post Posted August 12, 2006 I do it every morning for 15-20 minutes..but as time has gone on, sometimes I realize I've gone for 30 minutes. In some of the Ayurveda writings, some have said that pulling for longer than 5 minutes allows toxins to be reabsorbed back into your system. So in effect, you would pull in 5 minute increments up to 20 minutes. Dr. Karach, the Ukranian who studied this says to pull for 20 minutes to get full effect. In India, where this is currently being practiced, they say to do for 15-20 minutes. I think the amount of time is for each to decide. Notice however how the oil becomes very thick after a few minutes of pulling. Sometimes it stays really thick, sometimes it does not thicken at all, but stays thin. I really believe that this is the level of toxins it is pulling from your system. I notice that when I have eaten dairy the day before, it gets very thick throughout the whole pull...interesting!!

Guest guest Report post Posted August 14, 2006 The 20 minutes should be all at once or a total of 20 minutes in 4 segments of 5 minutes. No, you do not need to rinse each time. You are going to go through a lot of oil!! I do this first thing in the morning, but you could do it as many times during the day as you like. Just make sure you haven't eaten for at least 4 hours prior. A WARNING....if you do this late at night, you may have insomnia. The Oil Pulling increases your metabolism (per cleaning your blood). Some do have problems sleeping...some do not. That's why doing it first thing in the morning is a great way to start the day. Some do it in the shower. Just be careful when you are leaning your head back to rinse your shampoo LOL!! You can definitely alternate oil...anything you like. Some just prefer one over the other. Some say that sesame gives them superior pulls, some say that sunflower does.....it's a very personal experience for all. I'd love to hear from those you are giving this a try.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Now that is something I've gotta try! And soon! Thank you for posting it. Since I'm already an energy healer with nutritional and herbal knowledge, I'm amazed I haven't read or heard about this till now. Question: Is it necessary to " swish " 3 times a day, every day for 6 months or longer? Or are effective results noticed sooner or with less " pulling " (maybe once per day for a week, or a month, etc.)? This is actually my first time getting around to reading messages here, and I'm surprised I read something potentially helpful right away. Thank you so much.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Annie, I am quite fascinated with this, but whenever I actually consider doing it first thing in the morning my stomach just about turns over at the thought of a spoonful of oil in my mouth. It pysically makes me gag. Guess I'll have to tap that away. That thought just popped into my mind. I'll wait till my grandson (8) has gone back home. I forgot what it was like to have that scattered kid-energy around!

Guest guest Report post Posted August 14, 2006 I have been oil pulling for the past three days after reading about it here. I have been using Canola Oil because it's what I have on hand at the moment. Already I can tell that my teeth are a little whiter. So, it must be working.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Hi there, I read the article and have been trying it for the last week..Well not for 20 minutes as having to squish the oil for that length of time appears a bit ridiculous to me. Did try to read around it so googled it one day..the reports are great. however they do say that the ideal time to use it is between 6.am and 7.30 am..they do give a valid enough reason for that..anyways I am waiting for whiter teeth..probably am spending a bit more time looking at the mirror checking my teeth..it s so funny,,hope it works bobby ann4cure <kazala wrote: The 20 minutes should be all at once or a total of 20 minutes in 4 segments of 5 minutes.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Does anyone here know if Oil Pulling absolutely must be done with cold-pressed oil? I bought some Sunflower oil from a local supermarket today that I'm sure isn't cold-pressed, as it doesn't say it on the label, but I will call them tomorrow to make sure. If I don't use cold-pressed oil, will it still work, or just as well? All the best, Richard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason you do this for 20 minutes is because of the blood detox. The oil pulls toxins from the blood via the large vein under your tongue. All your blood in your system runs through that vein in 20 minutes. So...that's the idea. You can do this anytime....but for me, it's easier in the morning because I have a totally empty stomach. Also, it does seem to wake me up (increase my metabolism?). Anyway....it's a wacky thing, and I can't tell anyone except on line because I can't stand the look on their faces...then the smirk, then the rolling of the eyes.....I gave up. Swish on....Annie , bobby sharkel <bobbysharkel wrote: > > Hi there, > > I read the article and have been trying it for the last week..Well not for 20 minutes as having to squish the oil for that length of time appears a bit ridiculous to me. Did try to read around it so googled it one day..the reports are great. however they do say that the ideal time to use it is between 6.am and 7.30 am..they do give a valid enough reason for that..anyways I am waiting for whiter teeth..probably am spending a bit more time looking at the mirror checking my teeth..it s so funny,,hope it works > bobby > > ann4cure <kazala wrote: > The 20 minutes should be all at once or a total of 20 minutes in 4 segments of 5 minutes. > No, you do not need to rinse each time.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 17, 2006 You mean tap away with EFT?? That would work quite well. You get used to it, believe me. You might feel gaggy for a couple of days, and then start getting into it until you won't stop, even on vacation. Keep it out of the back of your throat until you get used to it. Imagine me, fixing a bottle of oil (with oil of oregano) for my husband to take on his business trip. Now, this was the most cynical man on the face of the earth....and once he saw my improvements, I had him doing liver flushes, kidney cleanses, bowel cleanse, parasite cleanse, oil swishing. Tonight I got some Himalayan Salt to start adding to our water, and he doesn't even question me anymore. If my husband can do all this stuff, anyone can. In 7 months he has gone from 3 Prozac and 2 Seratonin to one Prozac only. I'm so proud of him for doing all this, and he's proud of himself for accomplishing this amazing feat. He told me.....never take my oil away from me. LOL!!

Guest guest Report post Posted August 17, 2006 Ok my boyfriend and I are trying this. I can't stomach 20 mins yet, but he's doing fine. I love hearing all the good things comeing from it. He suffers from depression maybe it will help! We are on day 3 and it was a little easier for me to put the oil in, although I don't measure it, I just pour some in. My question is the sunflower oil I got has safflower oil in it too. Where is a good place to buy oils? I did notice after the second day the plack build up on my teeth came off real easily when I flossed. Karen In love, light, and laughter, Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted August 18, 2006 Annie, I have been drinking the sole with the himalayian salts now for about two or three months. I don't see any difference in anything, but I do actually enjoy the sole in the morning. I was drinking a lot of Figi water, and then the light came on that I can't afford to drink Figi water, so I reserve it only for drinking my sole. Let me know if you see any differences.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 18, 2006 I prefer expeller pressed sunflower, but you can use any oil really. Dr. Karach mentions refined sunflower or sesame to get the best results. If you want expeller pressed sunflower you'll need to visit a health food store. Swish on....you'll see better and better results with your teeth as time goes on. , karen moulton <needlefelter2 wrote: > > Ok my boyfriend and I are trying this.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 18, 2006 Lorain: I know one thing about that salt....it's makes me go, and fairly quickly too! I think it's amazing if you are constipated. And the amount of minerals you are putting in your body is worth it, totally. , <TheKoolLottes wrote: > > Annie, > > I have been drinking the sole with the himalayian salts now for about two or three months.

LOL Ann! Swish on... is a good motto for this OIL group! I started last Sunday and also started a candida diet at the same time. WOW... I have seen amazing results so far. I'm wondering about this though: I'm Swishing 3 times a day with cold pressed, high quality sunflower oil from France. For the last 3 days I've tested the oil by spitting it out on the cotton ball to check the color. After 20 minutes (I've been very careful to make sure it's 20) the cotton ball this a.m. is still yellow. Either I need different oil or I am super-toxic. The later is likely. That's why I'm doing this so seriously. The first thing I noticed on the 2nd/3rd day is that the skin itching has subsided. I have had a gross skin problem with this sores popping up all over my body. One doctor said, " It's candida. " He gave me pills that didn't work. The next doctor gave me antibiotics, which I didn't want to take, but did. Went away for a few months (6-8) and then came back recently. This time it was worse and I had a vaginal discharge and itching (which I didn't have before)... now the itching is real bad when it didn't exist before the antibiotics. So I knew not to take them, but I had to make it stop because sometimes I could hardly wear clothes. So the first thing I noticed is that the itching stopped almost 100% most of the time. Today it seems to be gone. That is amazing. I'm did veggies ONLY for 3 days. I added wild salmon on the 4th day... and chicken on the 5th. I am also doing biogenics, and one of my homeopathic treatments is for skin, but I was taking that for about 15 days and still had the itching. The itching was critical to resolve because when I scratched it then a sore would come. My teeth have changed color - about 2 shades whiter in 6 days! Bye-bye dentists. We don't need you anymore when our teeth are swished daily! I know it the skin thing came from the oil pulling. So do it guys. I'd appreciate any feedback on my question! Love and health to all!
