Re: Oil Pulling demystified

, zealots tend to be optimistic. With the help of oil pulling author Bruce

Fife we established that there's no actual " pulling " of toxins or infectious

agents from the tissues by swishing any liquid, although pus pockets under the

gumline that are open to the mouth can be rinsed by it; it's strictly a

mouth-swish with oil, IMO with a misleading, poorly-chosen name. The swishing

action itself and a few minutes residual bacterial kill below the gumline is the

outcome of this practice.

It's pleasant to have a clean mouth. I swish with Lavoris White mouthwash, which

contains three germicides, xylitol, peroxide, and peppermint oil, to which I add

some colloidal silver. No germ escapes silver and peroxide together; the kill

rate is 1000 times (log 3 in the research) higher in synergy than for either one

alone, and the latency is higher than with oil because it is water soluble. This

is why they even use it for potable water and sewage treatment in some of the

world's largest cities.

Oil swishing doesn't get most of the plaque or trapped food for me, so after I

swish I also brush with a power brush and then floss, then swish/rinse briefly.

Similarly my wife professes that her mouth is mush cleaner when she power

brushes her teeth and her upper plate. She says the denture needs a decent scrub

to get it clean and she uses Tom's toothpaste for that. She uses an organic

citrus mouthwash for the swishing; it has too much glycerine in it for my taste.

In response to your direct question , oxidative stress leading to things

like heart disease is reduced when you have a clean mouth, so some people think

oil swishing is a cure for heart disease for example.

,

Rather than get your information second hand from someone with their own agenda,

here is exactly what Bruce Fife said in message #33441:

RE: Re: OT - Tooth decay options

I would like to clear up some confusion about oil pulling. The name " oil

pulling " is actually very descriptive of what is going on. While swishing

oil in the mouth, the oil is actually pulling germs, mucus, and pus from the

mouth-cleaning the teeth and gums better than flossing or brushing, although

they are important too. It does not, however, pull toxins out of the

bloodstream and into the mouth. That would be impossible. But the fact that

it does pull disease-causing bacteria and viruses from the mouth has

far-reaching health consequences. These germs are constantly seeping into

the bloodstream and cause a lot of health problems. By removing the source

of the problem, the body is able to detox better and healing results. I go

into detail on this process in my book " Oil Pulling Therapy " and back it up

with references to literally hundreds of published studies. Many of the

early studies were performed by Dr. Weston A. Price. His research on this

topic was incredible.

Duncan,

Killing bad bateria in mouth also kills friendly bacteria and some enzymes

necessary for the PRE-digestion. Some of them are not replaceable.

Hi ,

To be clear you aren't suggesting that coconut oil destroys friendly bacteria as

well as bad are you? Wouldn't that be what something like Lavoris (which

contains peroxide) - or even colloidial silver would do?

, yes the oil and other mouthwashes we rinse with do kill some beneficial

bacteria as well. Rinsing the mouth doesn't kill off all the bacteria though, we

add more when we eat. Also, mouth bacteria continually replicate, so they are

indeed easily replaceable. If you want to have a few more probiotics in your

mouth though, eat some cheese, yogurt, sour cream, that kind of thing

Enzymes that are washed away by the rinse are replaced as soon as your salivary

glands make more saliva, which takes a few seconds to a couple of minutes tops.

all good,

Duncan

is probably aware of the the research that showed the kill rate coconut

oil produces is lower for probiotics (the " friendly bacteria " ) than it is for

pathogens. She is right in noting that relationship.

Dee,

Coconut oil hardly kills good bacteria. In fact it is like mother's milk.

Lauric and caprylic acids are contained in mother's milk. It is the capric acid

which is not contained in mother's milk, but the amount in the vco is minimal.

Take your vco, it won't hurt you. BTW, i know when my tummy is not in order,

the moment i take vco, it kills the pathogen and go scooting to the bathroom in

15 minutes time.
