Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi LynnWhen she asked me about meds, she did not ask about supplements. MSM is a supplement and I'm on it too. I guess it could mess with what shows up, so I am going to go off it for a while too - thank YOU for mentioning it Lynn - my appointment is just one week away. I was surprised how quickly Jane could get me in. Fhew! So I know you all will be going down a different day, but would be fun to meet all of you too. My brothers (2) live down there so I'll make it a fun trip to see fam. Jane sounds very nice. The interview was very straight forward. She said to me, "oh, you definitely qualify." I told a CFS non-Morgellons/birdmite friend about the study and she is going to try to get in too. I hope she can. One of my best friends. Used to be a very good psychotherapist and on disability for 20 years, lives like a pauper. Always wish I could do more for her. Re: Oil pulling I have talked about oil pulling right from the begaining when I first joined. Done it off and on for a few years. I still try to do the oil pulling but fall out of habit when to many things start to take up my time. So been off a couple of weeks now and feel a real need to get back to it. Not sure if I should be taking the MSM before getting blood work. It might weaken a strain and make a test come out negative. Does anyone know if that can happen. Oh by the way. I had to stay at the kids house today to help out and missed the phone call yet again. She left a message that they would try to interveiw me tomarrow between 11 a.m. and 1 pm. Yeah...and there was much rejoicing. (Mighty Phython Style) Wish Tony would try to get into this study. Thank you Margarite. If I remember right the 5 or 6 will work best for you?? And thank you so much for pushing me into this direction. I can hardly wait to meet you in person. Should I stop taking my MSM. All opinions welcome.In Light Lynn>> Bobby I know you are the one to bring the oil pulling to this site. I did it for awhile and it seemed to be really good! Do you still do it? Also Lynn are you still oil pulling? I think it's a really good thing just need to set up the time and be diligent! > Sent from my iPhone> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Jo Indeed oil pulling for the simplicity and wonders is well worth the time every morning, in my opinion. I have found coconut oil the best for me, although the studies indicated sesame seed and sunflower the best. I have tried all and still go back to the coconut. You may also try sole after the oil pull , simple and very effective therapy for me. Best buy for the salt I feel online is Swanson. Also a effective therapy and reasonable is msm and flower of sulfur.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 , add a drop or two of clove essential oil to whatever oil you choose to pull with. Great for the gums and general mouth health.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi MarieDo you know if the biofilm decreases as a result of oil pulling? I'm on day 2 of oil pulling. Tried olive oil--too bitter, this morning sesame oil. That was okay, but I think you or someone else here said coconut oil was good to use. We will see how it goes.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi Jim, I use coconut oil as a liquid as I really don't like the texture of solid coconut oil in my mouth. I put the tub/bottle in some warm water for 2-3mins then measure out a tbls and off I go. It seems easier in liquid form as you say. Oil pulling When doing Oil Pulling, do you use one tablespoon of the coconut oil as a liquid,after it is warmed up above 78 degrees or do you use one tablespoon of the solid coconut oil that is below 78 degrees. I discovered there is more liquid in my mouth if I put it in my mouth in the solid amount below 78 degrees. It is easier to work with when it is a liquid. I do not want to waste any, but I want to make sure I am using enough to do the job. Thanks, Jim K jimk32@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yes, I've been doing it for a couple of months. There's a little book on it you can get by Bruce Fife (he wrote The Coconut Oil Miracle) and also a lot of info online if you just google it. I can't attest to the toxin removal part for sure, but I'm doing it for that reason. A year and a half ago my dentist, apparently untrained in the proper way, removed my old amalgam fillings. I didn't have too many, but I ended up swallowing bits and pieces, because they didn't take the precautionary measures to prevent that. (I don't go there anymore.) I use coconut oil for pulling; you can use pretty much any oil and I like the taste of the coconut oil best. Other oils always taste pretty nasty/rancid to me. I think it does a great job of freshening my breath,too. > > Has anyone every heard of Oil Pulling? I'm told you take a tablespoon of Sesame oil, or Sunflower oil on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, swish it around in your mouth for 20 minutes than spit it out and you'll have pulled out mega toxins out of your body. Sounds to good to be true. Anyone have any info on this? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thanks for the info. I have looked at google and it just seemed to good to be true, but I think I will give it a try.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 But how in the world could you keep the oil in your mouth for 20 minutes? I gag with anything in there very long--I struggle to even swish my mouth with salt water because I gag after such a short time! I am 44. This past January, I had my first cavity--actually, they claimed I had a bunch. Do multiple cavities come on that fast? Anyway, they filled them with silver stuff--the white stuff was more, and the receptionist actually said her teeth were more sensitive after having used the white stuff to fill her cavities. Anyway, my teeth are horribly sensitive now. I'd gone in because last year I hadn't had any cavities (this was my first time at this office in January), but I had some irritation in my upper right jaw--not really pain, just " weirdness " ! LOL! They ended up doing nearly all my molars on both sides, top and bottom. Now I also have sensitivity that I have since heard goes away after awhile. I hate cold or warm things in my mouth now.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Geez, Heidi, that sounds awful. I'm sorry you went through with that. I think I'd have gotten a second opinion before letting them do that to my mouth. The book, Cure Tooth Decay, by Ramiel Nagel, might be of help to you, and certainly would have been before your fillings. As far as the 20 minutes goes, it takes a little getting used to. To start, just go as long as you can, then try again and continue for 20 minutes. It's fine to do it that way; it's just that you use more oil that way. Try to keep your head slightly down to prevent it going into the back of your mouth and making you gag; just keep swishing it in and out between your teeth. And if a tablespoon is too much, start with a lesser amount. Also, if you end up swallowing a little while pulling, it won't hurt you. With practice, I think anyone can get it. For some reason (I know not why), pretty much all my life since I was a kid (I'm over 50 now), I practiced controlling my gag reflex. It sure came in handy when I started popping handfuls of supplements as an adult! BTW, I love your quotes. > > > > > > > > Has anyone every heard of Oil Pulling?

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I had to giggle about your " practicing controlling your gag reflex " --not because I think that is bad, I just cannot even imagine understanding how you do that! LOL! Okay, I might try this...cannot hurt, right? Maybe with the coconut oil. Remind me how this helps? My understanding (I came in late in the topic) was that it is if you swallowed metal parts from fillings? Does this somehow prevent you from losing more? Sorry...probably dumb questions.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Oil pulling is said to help detoxify the body. I'm also taking a couple of forms of cilantro, which, I guess is a heavy metal chelator. When I was a kid, on a summer day while sucking on an ice cube, I accidentally swallowed it while it was still fairly big. I briefly thought I was going to choke, but when I didn't, I paid attention to how it felt going down. It felt cool going down (it was ice, after all), and it felt funny swallowing something that big and not choking. I didn't choke or gag at all. So I did it some more. That's how I practiced it. I figured if I ever swallowed one too big, it'd just melt, so I didn't think I could hurt myself. I graduated to trying it with small pieces of food (a Cheerios, a pea), but, don't worry, I don't swallow my food whole LOL. I like the ice better. When I got into supplements, I was able to take them by the handful and swallow them in one swallow, bypassing my gag reflex. Funny the things you remember all your life; I remember that first ice cube. I actually still swallow them like that sometimes. Maybe I'm a little weird. LOL If you google oil pulling, you can find out lots of info and claims made about it. There's even at least one YouTube video on how to do it (yeah, I watched it). I don't see how it could hurt anyone in any way. > > > > > > > > > > > > Has anyone every heard of Oil Pulling?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi, I've been doing oil pulling for about 7 months now. I can't say that it's pulled out any toxins but I do like that it has whitened my teeth just a bit. And my front teeth on the bottom were very sensitive at the gum line and that has gone away. My teeth and mouth just feel better overall. Also, an added plus is that I started using coconut oil and it must seep through and it made my face oh, so soft. I've switched off using coconut oil and sesame oil. I like both. Doing it the first couple days was a little hard to get used to but no problems after that. I actually pull for about 30 minutes since I do it while showering and getting ready for work in the morning. Try it. I won't hurt and it might help.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 But how do you actually swish for 20-30 minutes without swallowing? I too have a nasty gag reflex and can't imagine keeping anything in my mouth that long. e On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 2:14 PM, casagnew <casagnew@...> wrote: > > > Hi, > I've been doing oil pulling for about 7 months now.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 My thoughts exactly ... I have the coconut oil and would consider trying ... but not for 30 minutes, I would be lucky if I could do 2 .... and do you really get any benefit for that time?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 You can swallow behind it, in your throat. Try using only a tsp of oil to start and do it for however long you can. Or maybe try holding some water in your mouth and swishing it around and you'll see how you can swallow in your throat but keep the water in your mouth. Sorry, it's hard to explain. I don't know that 30 minutes is better than 20. It's just how long it takes me to shower and get ready and then I spit it out and brush my teeth. You do have to do it long enough for your saliva to mix with it and it will change consistency. You can feel when that happens and it won't be so oily anymore. Go to www.oilpulling.org and read a little about it. There's also a video on there you can watch. Some people have wonderful things happen for them. I'm pretty healthy so I don't see any huge things happening but like I said in my other post, I think it's helped my teeth and gums get stronger and less sensitive.
