I am not aware of how the pulling affect would pull acid from the body but; if fat in the human body is used by the body to keep harmful acids away from vital organ life processes, how does it do it? Maybe we could start there?
How does human fat tissue attract and store the harmful acid? If we find this answer, we may be a step closer to the answer with oil pulling.
i dont know that it draws acids themselves. and i dont think the oil itself is alkalizing. what it does do in spades is pull out material that makes acid bigtime. it is pulling particles of food and other debris out of the blood and tissues of the mouth. this is the junk that clogs lymph and rots in out tissues and organs because they cant be eliminated faster than we shovel them in. this rotting mass, these morbid matters, create a cesspool of acid.
oil pulling is the best alkalizer short of fasting because it removes the source instead of adding something else to the body to neutralize it thus increasing the body burden overall.
You know Maya, I think it's time someone emails Andreas and asks him these questions. We've only been going on old posts, and odd bits here and there. I do not know Andreas, and I'm hoping someone with an email relationship with him might write and ask.
We have so many questions, and there's so much to the puzzle. It would be nice to hear from someone we all agree has wisdom.
I feel it may be due to the opposite 'charge' or 'polarity' held by toxins in relationship to the oil. Another technique from Andreas Moritz 's book 'Timeless Secrets...' talks of drinking hot ionized water formed by boiling the water for about 20 mins or so to ionize it which is supposed to neutralize toxins so i'm extrapolating from there.
This is the link where I got the info about GLA (found in many plant oils, like sunflower and sesame oils) being a vasodilator, posted on the Oil-swishing forum, actually. I was disappointed that the discussion didn't go any further.
Well here's a possible mechanism: the vasodilator (GLA) from the oil enlarges the capillaries, arteries & veins under your tongue. With the vessels having a resultingly larger surface area, it becomes easier for fat-soluble (lipophilic) toxins to diffuse from the blood across the blood vessel membranes, and into the large volume of oil that's in your mouth. It's possible that this oil-pulling technique is based on the simple process of diffusion, and it's the vasodilative properties of the GLA in the oil that assists or accelerates this diffusion.
As we know, not all oils are created equally, when we consider which ones give better and faster results with oil pulling.
From that commercial link, this GLA compound is touted as being able to affect blood vessels topically as well as when taken internally, so the blood vessels under the tongue shouldn't behave any differently. That article also talked about oil of primrose and borage oil... One idea might be to spike sunflower oil with some of these other oils (assuming they've got more GLA) in order to enhance or quicken the oil-pulling process. For some people, 20 minutes of pulling is a long time. It might be nice to shorten that amount of time.
Just for the sake of argument, I'd speculate that you'd be able to absorb a drug or compound faster AFTER using something that has GLA in it, since the blood vessels are still enlarged. Diffusion can work in both directions.

Not sure about ingesting oil of primrose. Probably, though. I did look up borage oil, and found that it is sold in capsule form for internal use. I'm tempted.
Actually, I've been following grzbear's advice to start having more of these quality plant oils in my diet, as a way of dealing with cravings for meaty, fatty animal foods. Every day, I take a tablespoon each of sesame, flax, olive and sunflower oils. If the GLA in the oil somehow helps my innards get rid of more toxins, then hey, that's an added bonus to just trying to stay away from foods made of beef and cheese.
