Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi Bruce, I'm assuming that since you are recommending oil pulling, that you feel coconut oil would be OK to use.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hmmm, very interesting. So is sesame oil and sunflower oil the best oil of oil pulling? Which kind of oil do you use, Alobar??? phine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi Alobar, When I first learned about oil pulling I didn't believe it had any real value. Part of the problem I had with it was that the explanation given on how it works was physically impossible. It didn't appear to have any rational scientific explanation. Because of this lack of scientific evidence, people using the best of their understanding, made things up in an attempt to describe how it works, what type of oil is best, etc. However, after I began studying it, I realized what the real connection was. It made sense and had a century of published medical studies to back it up. I learned that much of the information on the Internet about oil pulling is wrong. One of the myths is that oil pulling should only be done using " cold pressed " sunflower or sesame oils. Dr. Karach, who is credited as the originator of the current method of oil pulling actually used " refined " oil, not cold pressed. But people on the Internet have taken his original words and changed " refined " to " cold pressed " . Others have copied this altered text and now the erroneous text is posted all over the Internet. Misinformation spreads fast on the Internet. In regards to the type of oil that can be used, any oil can be used. I prefer coconut oil because coconut oil provides many health benefits that other oils just don't have. For example, its antimicrobial properties and its ability to heal skin and mucous membrane tissue are vastly superior to most other oils. So I recommend coconut oil for oil pulling. Bruce Re: Oil Pulling Hi Bruce, I'm assuming that since you are recommending oil pulling, that you feel coconut oil would be OK to use.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi, I was wondering about the oil pulling for 15 - 20 minutes. I'm only able to do it for about 2 minutes before I have to spit it out. Do I get the same benefit if I spit it out and add new oil every three minutes until I've done it for 15-20 minutes, or must I keep the same oil in my mouth for that amount of time. Thanks, Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Dr Fife, I have enjoyed your coconut oil books, and plan on buying this book in the future, but can you tell us which oil you recommend for oil pulling? Do you recommend coconut oil? I have done this oil pulling in the past with sunflower oil. I am going to resume doing it again, but am wondering if coconut oil is good to use for this.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I would like to know the answer to the questions below also....I have been able to " Pull " for maybe 5 min. or so - but that is it - my jaw gets really sore quickly and or I start building up so much salvia that my mouth starts to fill up too much and I have to spit it out. So should we start again with more new oil or is the benefit the contiguous 15 min's?? I had stopped pulling after just a few days as I could not do it for very long.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 SeaLady: In Dr. Fife's book on Oil Pulling, he says that if you get a mouthful of saliva, to just spit out part of it, replace with some more VCO and continue. So you would have the VCO READY there in case that happens.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi Bruce, I never looked into oil pulling, partly because people advocating it seemed to me to be nutcases. But when you posted about it, I felt obligated to explore further because you tend to give good advice. Many years ago, my then girlfriend was getting into massage and I was her practice dummy. As I enjoy massage, I was more than willing. However when she got into foot reflexology, I was very skeptical. I did not see how it could work. I had a bad chest cold at the time. She told me she was going to do a maneuver on my feet to loosen chest phlegm. I thought she was nuts, but I allowed her to proceed. My chest drained instantly and I started hacking up huge gobs of phlegm. So I learned that there are procedures which do not seem at all obvious or even plausible, but which do indeed work. So I am not closed to exploring oil pulling. Alobar On 8/22/08, Bruce Fife <bruce@...> wrote: > Hi Alobar, > > When I first learned about oil pulling I didn't believe it had any real > value.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I do not yet do oil pulling but you might want to experiment with using less oil. I also suspect different oils will cause more or less saliva buildup.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 If you haven't tried oil pulling, I would recommend starting out with half a teaspoon at a time and get use to that oil feeling in your mouth. I started out with a whole tablespoon and just about threw up. That was enough for the first day. The next day I was determined, and just used a small amount and built up. Since its been a while since I have oil pulled, I will start out again like that. I am use to the oil feel though, I use VCO in my tea twice a day. My lips are so soft, and I haven't needed hand lotion since. My 82 yr old FAT FREE mother, has agreed to use VCO and she said she doesn't have much dandruff anymore. A few years ago I finally got her off margarine. >I do not yet do oil pulling but you might want to experiment with > using less oil.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Oil Pulling (first try) Me taking 15 minutes when I get up just is not a pleasant thought. I am trying to do all I need to do as quickly as possible. So I thought about it. If an empty gut is most ideal, how about late at night? So when I came home from work tonight at 4 AM, I put some coconut oil in my mouth. I had intended to start with just a teaspoon, but I used over a tablespoon full. It was 6 hours since dinner, and 5 hours since post-dinner vitamins. So stomach was probably empty. The thought of me sitting in a chair and squishing for 10-15 minutes is just too boring. So I squished while doing my late night chores (doing laundry, cleaning dinner tupperware and jars, putting out Citrulline Malate solution and Na/K Chloride solution). These tasks take me 20-30 minutes. I squished the whole time. When I finally spit out the foamy emulsified oil, it was over an ounce. It felt like 4 ounces in my mouth, but it was only a tad over an ounce. Mouth feels clean. White tongue is far less white. I have one tooth stub which has been slightly bothering me. Nothing serious, but when I press my tongue on the tooth stub, the tooth feels irritated and inflamed. And that does not bode well for when the weather turns cold. Cold usually brings out my toothaches. But now, the tooth feels fine. To me, that is pretty impressive for a single oil pulling. I have a feeling that oil pulling will be quite useful in cold weather when my teeth tend to act up. My taste buds seem more sensitive. My Na/K salt water and my Citrulline Malate tasted stronger & more wretched than usual. On the positive side, my late night glass of whey tasted sweeter and had more flavor. I would guess that taste contrasts have gone up since I did the oil pulling. I generally get a lingering bad taste in my mouth after taking Niacinamide. The yucky taste lingers for 15 minutes. But now, the bad taste goes away much more quickly. Maybe because my tongue has less crud on it??? Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hi All, Let me try to answer all of the questions you have been posting about oil pulling over the past couple of days. I do recommend coconut oil because of the many health benefits coconut oil has that other oil don't. Pulling 15-20 minutes is a long time, however, if you do other things like read the paper, prepare breakfast, wash dishes, etc. the time goes quickly. As you oil pull your mouth will fill with saliva. So don't put too much in your mouth to begin with. For many people 1 tablespoon is way too much, 1-2 teaspoons is better. If you can't do it for a full 20 minutes, spit it out and take a fresh spoonful until you have done a total of 15-20 minutes. The length of time is important. The longer you can do it the better. Pulling for 2 minutes is nice, but not near as effective as 5 minutes or 10 minutes or 15 minutes. Some people brush their teeth with coconut oil, that too is nice, but it is not oil pulling and will not have the same effect. One of the popular explanations about how oil pulling works to heal systemic conditions is that it sucks toxins out of the blood. The most popular method given to accomplish this is that the oil somehow is able to identify toxins in the blood while it is being swish in the mouth and magically pulls the toxins (and nothing else) out of the bloodstream through the veins under the tongue. It was information such as this that made me skeptical about oil pulling when I first heard about it. Sucking toxins out of the blood is not only impossible but makes no sense. It is misinformation like this that has made those with medical/science backgrounds suspicious about the oil pulling process. Some of the best early evidence for the scientific basis of oil pulling was compiled and published in the 1920s by Dr. Weston A Price. He published a two volume set containing the results of years of study on how oral bacteria (as well as viruses, fungi, and parasites) can infect any organ in the body, giving rise to arthritis, heart disease, osteoporosis, etc.. His studies are mind boggling, yet fully documented. He would pull an infected tooth from a patient, wash it, and insert it under the skin of a rabbit. Within days the rabbit would develop the same type of arthritis as the patient and the patient, now without the infected tooth, would become arthritis free. He did this hundreds of times with patients having various health problems and get similar results. His studies are described in my new oil pulling book. Research of this type has been going on for over a century and new research is continually being published. The mechanism of how oral bacteria affect the body is well known. It is quite fascinating. Even the National Institutes of Health recognizes the connection between oral health and systemic disease. Yet, we don't hear much about it. We are just told to visit the dentist every year and brush our teeth. This isn't a solution. Oil pulling offers a very powerful " natural " solution. This is why you read amazing testimonials about oil pulling. My book is the only source which clearly explains the relationship between oral health as described by Dr. Price and others and oil pulling. The book isn't simply a rehash of what you find on the Internet. Everything is backed by published studies and based on these studies I have developed a new form of oil pulling I call " Oil Pulling Therapy. " Ordinary oil pulling can be helpful, but it doesn't help everyone. Some people report great results, while others report no benefit. That's where my oil pulling therapy is different from ordinary oil pulling. I bring oil pulling up to date and approach it scientifically so a person can use the therapy to address various health problems and correct these problems permanently. Bruce Fife Re: Oil Pulling I would like to know the answer to the questions below also....I have been able to " Pull " for maybe 5 min. or so - but that is it - my jaw gets really sore quickly and or I start building up so much salvia that my mouth starts to fill up too much and I have to spit it out. So should we start again with more new oil or is the benefit the contiguous 15 min's?? I had stopped pulling after just a few days as I could not do it for very long. SeaLady Hi, I was wondering about the oil pulling for 15 - 20 minutes. I'm only able to do it for about 2 minutes before I have to spit it out. Do I get the same benefit if I spit it out and add new oil every three minutes until I've done it for 15-20 minutes, or must I keep the same oil in my mouth for that amount of time.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Well, I did my first oil pulling this morning while I was preparing the dogs' food and doing morning chores. Since VCO is pleasant tasting, I had no problem swishing it around in my mouth for 20 plus minutes. I think its a great idea and plan to do it as much as possible. phine > > Hi All, > > Let me try to answer all of the questions you have been posting about > oil pulling over the past couple of days.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi Bruce, I do have a question about oil pulling with coconut oil . . . . I am currently using 1Tbl. of coconut oil and am pulling for 15-20 minutes each morning. I attempt to take 3 to 4 Tbl. of coconut oil each day. Can I deduct the 1 Tbl. that I'm pulling from the total I attempt to consume/ingest on a daily basis. I shall await your reply. Thank you for all you do for all of us.
