Re: wondering if...oil pulling: possible lesson from plants

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if oil pulling has other than physical properties...

Let me explain: if a plant has aphids, often a spray of water, cooking oil and

soap

can be helpful...it suffocates the aphids...

I am wondering if most of the oral bacteria in humans is aerobic and that the

oil does something similar as the aforementioned spray does to the aphids...and

that 15 ~ 20 mins of that oil coating on the teeth is enough to kill bacteria -

not so much chemically, but physically.

I have heard from others and also personally experienced that clean mouth

feeling after oil pulling...

so perhaps we need to keep our minds open to other possible mechanisms of

action...

I have heard / read that the alcohol in mouthwash is not so friendly to  our

teeth...

Coconut Oil

Thank you . You are well ahead doing oil pulling with coconut oil,

others similarly with sesame oil, I'm ahead oil pulling with Lavoris mouthwash

with peroxide and colloidal silver, and others might " oil pull " with just CS and

peroxide. We all are a testament to swishing as an component of dental care.

Since oil doesn't really " pull " more than mouth suction and swishing produce

with any germkilling liquid after all, any liquid you choose has the " oil

pulling " property. The " oil pulling " property is really shared with water-based

solutions, and the teminology confuses people. The nascent myth that arose from

this very confusion is the reason I commented weeks ago, and why the thread

turned out to be so long.

I might be one of only a few voices against a storm, but I think leaving the

unfortunate term uncorrected is a mistake; through the years we have been

separating the wheat from the chaff and tring to clarify confusing information,

not propagating confusion from within a group that would appear to be

authoritative on the subject. The term obviously caught many people sleeping and

it doesn't have to be that way.

all good,

Duncan

Hi Don; the antibacterial property that oils and essential oils can be credited

for is enveloped bacteria cell-wall breakdown. Oils don't break down

non-enveloped bacteria, viruses and fungal spores though, which leaves about 3/4

of the field.

I agree that germkillers should generally be used for swishing, as many of them

break down biofilm, and each may have different properties.

The peroxide and silver mix for example break down both enveloped and

non-enveloped bacteria, viruses, and some fungal spores. They are well known

biofilm breakers and they are also used to treat several diseases. Vinegar is

also used as an effective biofilm cleaner and taken as a tonic. Being a fatty

acid, it functions similarly to oil.

all good,

Duncan

Have you ever tried the Young Living Ultra toothpaste? It's suppose to have

great healing benefits and restoration on the gumline, with whitening effects.

Do you have mercury fillings?

Alobar,

Despite the mercury fillings you have been doing a lot of oil pulling right ?

How has that been for you ? Did you notice any health improvements ? How long

have you been oil pulling and how many minutes a day average ?

Thank you Lew for the heads-up. That's pretty scary. I live 2 blocks from the

Gulf and luckily have not gone swimming since the oil spill. We thought they had

stopped with the dispersants, but according to your link they have not.

Best,

Dee

If you're interested, here's a good place to start:

http://www.coconutresearchcenter.org/article%20oil%20pulling.htm

quote: " Dr. Karach's method of oil pulling consists of swishing, not gargling,

vegetable oil in the mouth. The oil is " worked " in the mouth by pushing,

pulling, and drawing it through the teeth for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. It

is done one to three times a day on an empty stomach. The best time is in the

morning before eating breakfast, but can be done before any meal. The used oil

is discarded and the mouth rinsed out with water. The oil is never swallowed

because it is loaded with bacteria, toxins, pus, and mucous.

Sunflower and sesame seed oils are the most commonly used for oil pulling, but

any vegetable oil will work. People have had success with olive, coconut,

almond, and other oils. I prefer to use coconut oil because of its many health

benefits. If you use a mild flavored coconut oil it is very pleasant in the

mouth. . "

I use the above method and was able to reverse a long standing gum disease. You

can find many more testimonials on systemic benefits as well - here:

And the best part is that nobody is selling you anything :-)

You are quite welcome . Btw, the earth clinic is a great resource for all

kinds of ailments because there are SO many responses (yays & nays - including

side effects you may not get elsewhere) from people who have tried the suggested

remedies. As everyone is different, it's quite helpful to have as many

testimonials as possible.

Best,

Dee
