The Oil Pulling Challenge - 2

[Bethanie]

I look forward to doing it every morning and hope to start doing it up to three times a day.
I'm noticeing that when i put my teeth together they are very straight and no more pain anywhere in my mouth.
They feel so good and the cavaties that were in my front teeth are gone believe it not and the holes are filling in.
My teeth look so good i can't stop smiling
Has anyone experienced any weight loss from the o.p.?

Swishing with coconut oil right now. Teeth look nice and it seems to get the mucus really moving out of my body (sorry to be so nasty). Part of an old filling came out of my mouth last week. Not sure if teeth are growing back or what. No pain though. THat's good!!! Glad to be rid of th mercury but unfortunately I swallowed it thinking it was a piece of a nut shell or something. Oops!

swish, swish, swish

OKOK I'm doing it.... BUT - How do you get rid of the oil after? I know you spit out but there's gotta be some oil coating your mouth, right? How do you rid of that?

[ChaiLife]

Just spit, rinse and you are done. You will be surprised that there is not nasty coating in your mouth. Do it for 15-20 minutes.

Swishing.

Feels VERY odd. Do not like the taste. Blech.

DAY 3

Swished 2x today, this time with organic cold pressed olive oil instead of that refined rubbish. The taste is só much better.
It seems that the glands in my neck dó swell up and tend to hurt after oil pulling. They settled down last night and this morning after pulling, well...
They must be working hard to get rid of something I guess...?
Besides that, I haven't noticed anything special yet.

My teeth have given me fixes for so long and i don't like going to the dentist, i want to keep all of my teeth, i lost one at the bottom on the side a few years ago and i want to ge it replaced if possible in the future but i want my teeth to be strong and gums healthy when i do go to the dentist.
My teeth are so straight, it's amazing when i chew they feel so strong and my gums are look healthier too, i'm in shock.
Also i still feel some pain in my shoulder from a hard fall that i had several months ago but it comes and quickly goes away
This happens a couple of time within 2 days, the pain use to last for 30 min. or more at a time and wake me up at night, not anymore
I can't wait to see what else o.p. is going to do for me.

Swishing right now! Getting used to it and the flavor isn't so bad anymore.

For the first time in over a year, my tongue is not coated white in the back anymore. I've also noticed the skin on my upper arms is drop-dead soft. Crazy soft.

Hi guys! I'm so excited to see all the positive press that our thread is getting on this board - it's so great to hear people telling others about the benefits they've experienced. I never thought this thread would be as wonderful as it has become, so thank you thank you thank you to all pullers!I have great news: my KP is gone!!! as in - only smoothness left
I've had these annoying bumps on the back of my thighs, arms and butt since age 12 - and as I started OP'ing they've been diminishing drastically - then suddenly after simplifying my diet and upping the OP'ing - I started to get soooo dry all over, I mean - crazy dry, like flaky
It lasted about a week - and then, when the flakes were gone - it was like I had been given new skin!

So keep pulling and serious stuff will happen!

Love alba

I'm in for the swish....started last night. and 2 times this morning....had to do a second time since I swallowed a bit the first round and gagged. THAT was f!##$in' gross!!!!

My girlfriend who I taught it to called me yesterday and said "my teeth are whiter and I lost 5 lbs off my a**"

My teeth also look a lot whiter...and I got a painful little bump on my tongue.

My goal is to get rid of the really groddy brown plaque on the inside of my lower front teeth....probably from my old college days of coffee and cigarettes...or from bad stomach ph??

going for twice a day with unrefined sesame oil for now....any other suggestions?

I began swishing 7 days ago and noticed within 3 days that my teeth were whiter. My gums (receding gumline) were not as senstitive to cold watermelon and my mouth felt so much cleaner.
Let's keep swishing!

[moncha moncha]

Okay I'm in. I want to help my gums heal and have whiter teeth. I'll go buy some organic cold-pressed sesame oil. Great thread here. Thanks.

[belle]

Count me in too!! Starting first thing tomorrow morning! cant wait!

[solarliving]

Count me in too. I just bought some sesame oil. I've done the oil pulling about 5x but nothing consistent. I do notice my mouth feels clean. Hey, anyone ever heard of brushing your teeth with coconut oil? I saw it on another raw forum.

[Bobbie]

I tried it for the first time today. I admit I was skeptical - I thought swishing the mouth with anything would strengthen your gums and whiten your teeth, and that the improved skin and healed-cracked-heals would be because you're bound to absorb some of the oil and just eating coconut oil would improve your skin - plus coconut oil often leads to weightloss.
I was skeptical about the other benefits - detox and healing of major illnesses. But it definately causes detox. I'm sorry for being a skeptic!

I did it for 7 minutes with about 1tsp coconut oil. (I couldn't get more to come out the bottle). I have chronic fatigue syndrome and found it really hard to keep swishing - my muscles are so weak it was a huge effort and really exhausting, it made my muscles ache and I couldn't last any longer. But even so, afterwards I felt definate detox symptoms. Mucus in my nose, throat, lungs. Heart beating faster. Feeling poisoned all over, my blood feeling drawn, like its being sieved/pulled (like when I use detox pads on my feet). Sore eyes, itchy skin, sore glands. All good!!
I don't understand how it works, but it does! I did it immediately after eating. I know I shouldn't have but I was sitting at the computer and the coconut oil happened to be sitting next to it and I thought I might as well do it while I was reading this thread.
Afterwards, when I'd had a rest I tried again, with olive oil, and managed 20 minutes yay.
Then later I did another 20 minutes with coconut oil.
I would never have thought of using coconut oil but its a great idea - its antibacterial and antiviral itself so should be even better at cleaning the mouth!
