Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ann, When you do oil pulling you don't actually ingest any of the oil because you spit it out. So to get the benefits of the oil internally, you will still need to eat some. Bruce Re: Oil Pulling 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.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 : Oil pulling can help your health in general. With caps, root canals, bonding, and gum disease, we are constantly swallowing bacteria (up to 600 kinds live in the mouth) and people have reported their teeth tightening up after oil pulling. You need to read the book which is available at www.coconutresearchcenter.com <http://www.coconutresearchcenter.com/> and you'd be amazed at what health benefits you would get from dialing pulling. This book is a first.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hi there, I just started Oil Pulling with VCO. I got a lot of information from EarthClinic.com. They have lots of unbiased testimonies and it's a great site for other natural remedies too. So far I've noticed an improvement in my skin when I apply it topically. I am able to " Pull " with VCO better and longer than when I used Rice Bran Oil, probably because of the taste & texture. I'll continue to monitor and will share with everyone. I just found this site and am thankful of all the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Lyn, Thanks for posting that. Dr. is always a great resource. As far as using Castor Oil for oil pulling I found a few who have tried it here: http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/oil_pulling.html#CASTOR Personally, I would save it for perhaps a sudden, severe dental problem only as the taste is pretty awful :-). It's very nice on the skin though. Best, Dee > > I just came across this and I wonder if castor oil would be good for oil pulling. I do not do this, but maybe it might help someone else who is considering it. > > http://www.electroherbalism.com/Naturopathy/Therapies/Diet/FatsandOils/CastorOil\ ..htm > > I hadn't looked into castor oil before this, but this oil appears very beneficial. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
