Date: October 10, 2007 04:00AM I've never done it, but it involves leaving some oil (coconut, olive, flax seed etc) in your mouth for a period of time and it is supposed to pull toxins from your bloodstream into the oil. I think I read about it on curezone.com and I'm pretty sure it's a Hulda Clark protocol, but I'm not sure. Re: oil pulling

Date: October 10, 2007 04:30AM I have done oil pulling. I have real bad teeth and they hurt all the time so I do oil pulling in order to pull the food particals out fron in between my teeth. It has helped. I rely on it when my teeth are especially painful. I did read about it in curezone but the first place I heard about it was a liver cleanse book. I usually use a cold pressed sunflower or seasame seed oil and swoosh it in my mouth for about 20 minutes When I spit it out I rinse my mouth with warm water. My teeth end up real white from oil pulling also. I was going to do an experiment on it and do the oil pulling for a month but the last time I went to the health food store I bought the wrong kind of oil. I hope to get some of the right kind of oin and start it up again. I think there is something to it and it is not expensive. Re: oil pulling

Date: October 10, 2007 06:24AM I've been doing it and really like it. Sometimes I wake up with a stuffy nose from allergies, or if I haven't been eating right. It's noticably better after 20 minutes of oil pulling. I use sesame oil. I usually do it first thing in the AM while I check my email.
When I read about it, I thought it would be nasty to do, but it isn't. The 20 minutes goes by fast and 2-3 rinses of my mouth with warm water gets all the oil out. Re: oil pulling

Date: October 10, 2007 10:53AM I've been doing it for a week and a half. I use sunflower oil, but sesame is supposed to be really good for your skin. I haven't noticed any of the benefits yet. But, it doesn't help me slow down a little in the morning. I would normally rush to drink as much water as I can, eat something, dress, gather my books and rush off the the subway. When I do the oil pulling, I find I am more thoughtful at first, then I can do things without so much stress. It doesn't taste as bad as those other websites suggest. In fact, I like it. I say try it--so what if it doesn't work? at least you'll know. measure twice, cut once.
