Hi there, newbie with CFS starting the oil pulling

Hi,

Someone talked to me about oil pulling recently and it reminded that was something I tried for like 4 days without believing in it a bit when I started being ill from chronic fatigue syndrome / hypothyroidism/anxiety a couple years ago.

I've also been trying some alternative techniques, taking Lugol for a long time (still am), tried colloidal silver but I didn't like the idea of taking it for long time (using it for colds flus, works great!), tried MMS (couple days, awful experience, I was uninformed and desperate :P). I did a couple Liver flushes and coffee enemas, never on a regular basis though. High dose of B12 etc... nothing truly helped, maybe lugol did a bit.

I'm now on a better diet than before, take only sugar in fruits, no gluten, just a bit of dairy, not much...

Doing meditation daily as well to feel more in control, seeing and energy healer etc...

Now that I'm looking deeper into oil pulling, I think there is really something there for me. What stopped me from doing major detox was the known fact that detox pathways are working pretty bad in CFS and I didn't want to add load to my liver and kidneys, afraid of worsening my case. With oil pulling, it seems I could detox more gently.

I have pretty obvious gingivitis, receding gums and a red tongue with white coating. I never followed the instruction to use dental floss, thinking a little gingivitis wasn't a big deal. It seems like I was wrong after all and that oral health can greatly influence overall health.

Been doing it for 3 days now, 3 times a day, using unrefined sesame, sunflower and coconut (I actually enjoyed this one!) oil. So far I have a bit of nausea and headaches in my forehead (not the kind of headaches I'm used to).

Nothing disturbing compared to what I deal with on a daily basis with this disease. I'm disabled at 30 years, can you believe that... There is a lot of talk these days about a new retrovirus, XMRV, that has been found in the blood of nearly all the patients with CFS in a study, so there is hope for a cure some day, but is it the single cause to CFS or fibromyalgia...nobody knows yet

so I'm working on detoxing with oil pulling now, it makes me feel I'm doing something for my health instead of waiting for god knows how long for a cure, that would most likely have nasty side effects like HIV treatments that are quite toxic to liver.

I noticed a new little brown spot on my tongue that I was never aware of today, seems OP related, strange!

Do you think it can help with my condition? I certainly want to believe it!

Thanks for sharing on this forums, that's a great source of information. I'll keep you informed of my progress!
