It is not clear to me that heavy metals are the toxins being removed but they certainly could be. At earthclinic Ted answers questions about oil pulling and heavy metal detoxification. This is the link to their question and answer section: http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/oil_pulling_questions.html With oil pulling removing toxins and opportunistic organisms from the body it follows that the blood is also being cleaned up. Here at CureZone some people have reported oil pulling with coconut oil because of its antifungal properties. SGG   [End]

Hello neomi, I talked with my Mother last night to get an update. After her greenish blue eye color changed to blue, she switched from using sunflower seed oil to castor oil. For about a month around Christmas she was not home and did not continue with the oil pulling. Her eyes have started looking greenish blue again. Not as green as before but definitely changing back. She is back oil pulling sometimes with sesame seed oil and sometimes with castor oil. She said that the greenish tint is starting to go away but is still there. When I talk with her today, I plan on suggesting ...

I experienced some liver pain when I first started oil pulling and reduced the number of pulls per day and skipped some days. I think that my liver was being stressed (too much too fast). The liver pain would happen while I was pulling during the 3rd pull of the day and sometimes the 2nd. Liver pain was not new to me. I had been taught that it takes a molecule of L-glutathione to help my liver get rid of a molecule of toxins. Sometimes when I have liver pain or wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble going back to sleep I take Reduced L-glutathione. It brings re ...

Hello Molly, I too am thankful for oil pulling and this forum. There is a peace and light heartedness that accompanies oil pulling with me. It was obvious with my first pull. I enjoy visiting here regularly. Writing is not my best form of communication. Therefore, I participate by reading way more than jumping in the flow of conversations. This oil pulling community is kind, peaceful, helpful, fun, and interesting. I have noticed that if someone comes here for a fight that they do not get very far and the person moves on or changes. I also appreciate all the extra ti ...

Hi Kebod, I have been drinking Sea Buckthorn Oil off and on for several months. After reading your comments, I decided to try oil pulling with it. I was concerned that it would stain my teeth orange. Good news my teeth are not orange. My gums felt stimulated. I do not think that I will use it for Oil Pulling very often. There is more to the clean up. I had to brush with baking soda 4 or 5 times. The toilet ended up with an orange ring that took baking soda and effort to remove. It reminded me of THE CAT IN THE HAT book although I believe that ring was pink in the bath tub. ...

Hi Molly, I do think that it is interesting about the connection between my Mom’s stomach trouble and the change in her eye color. I passed on the information about using the Oxypowder. Thank you. I’m sending her some tomorrow. I was also thinking that maybe the oil pulling removed yellow toxins that were in her eyes. Remembering that yellow and blue make green. Take away the yellow and there’s the blue. My Mom is visiting with her sister right now. Her sister also made a comment about her eyes being blue. I think that it is really neat that people (strangers and family) a ...

My Mom started oil pulling with sunflower seed oil severel weeks ago because her stomach was bothering her. She immediately started feeling better and has continued to oil pull daily. Last week a woman came up to her and said ”you have pretty blue eyes”. Mother said thank you and when she got home she looked in the mirror... blue eyes that have always been greenish-blue. She even had a shirt on that had green in it and her eyes were still blue. It is so much fun to get better using such a pleasant method. SGG   [End]

imalurnin, Thank you for this information. I have been watching these videos, drawing, taking notes, and reading about Su Jok for several hours. Su Jok is logical and seems like something that I can learn to do. It never occured to me to use seeds for spot treatments on points. At http://www.biopulse.org/seed.html I found the following explaination: The application of seeds can last from few hours to one day or several days, if it is necessary to continue stimulation of the point, they should be renewed. Seeds have a great life force and come to interact with affected ...

Years ago, I heard of a Doctor getting wonderful results using thyroid medicine with his Down Syndrome patients. He said that what made him try this approach was that he saw some of the same physical indicators in patients with low thyroid activity as in Down Syndrome patients. I remember him talking about the overly rounded face. One of the parents of a Down Syndrome child tearfully said that the thyroid medicine had changed her child. From what we have been learning at this forum, the need for Iodine lines up with what this doctor found out. SGG   [End]

If this law passes, federal regulators will decide what medicines you can take instead of you and your doctor.

Hello Cityman, It sounds reasonable to me. Do the satins seem to be in the same place as before the cleaning? I wonder if brushing with a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide would help take the stains off. Kind of like cleaning at the dentist. SGG   [End]

I have found that different oils get out different stain along with different toxins. Walnut oil is dark brown and seems to really brighten my teeth. Hemp oil is green and also brightens them. In Chemistry class we were taught ”like disolves like”. Oil based stains are removed with oils and water based stains with water. Different oils have different properties. It stands to reason that we would get different results with different oils. SGG   [End]

I started oil pulling in October and enjoyed immediate positive results. The oil that I used was Caprol (caprilic acid in olive oil). For years I have held this same oil in my mouth and then swallowed it. I did this to relieve my burning tongue due to candida overgrowth. It did stop my tongue from burning but did not give me the wonderful results I get from spitting the oil out. I could not believe it... all those years of nearly getting it right. I was pulling out the toxins and putting them back in. Now, when I swallow oil on purpose, I do not hold it in my mouth for very long ...

Hello Killimunati, Green tea bags used as a poltice have helped reduce my swollen, throbbing, and inflamed gums and teeth. Over a period of time the gum pockets have also reduced or been eliminated (measured and verfied by my dentist). I roll a green tea bag and place it between my gum and cheek. One tea bag per problem quadrent. I then sip some water to wet the tea. I leave them in util I get relief, sometimes overnight. If I leave them in too long, little blisters appear on the inside of my cheeks. Caution: May stain pillow case. I hope you feel better soon. SGG   [End]

I have ”happy skin” now. To keep down on the tub clean up, I have been using paper towel to wipe off the oil before I shower. Here’s to Oil pulling and Oil washing. Thanks f ...

Hello Molly Bloom, I talked with my friend about the Rosacea and use of Nancy’s cottage cheese whey. She said that her skin did not get red this summer when she got into her hot car. Now that the heat has been turned on at her work place her skin has gotten red. However, she had not used the whey for a week. This particular building is very dry during the winter. Thus far the whey does not seem to get rid of Rosacea but seems to minamize some of the severity. Hope this helps. SGG   [End]

My friend’s Rosacea is not totally gone but it is much improved. The last time I saw her, there were no red lines and her skin looked good(I do not remember it looking red). She applies it daily on her skin and lets it dry. She pours a small amount of the whey into the palm of her hand and then topically applies it with her finger. She says that the culture keeps making new whey and as long as it does not get contaminated it keeps very well. She also says that the whey works much better than the medicine that she was using before. I will ask her for more details this week. ...

The whey in Nancy’s organic cottage cheese might help get rid of the canker sore. It is cultured with good bacteria. http://www.nancysyogurt.com/nancys_products/cottage_cheese.php I have had problems with canker sores in the past. In my body they seemed to be connected with yeast. I have not had one in a long time but if I did I would try applying Nancy’s whey because it stopped a yeast problem with my eyelid. Several months back, my left eye lid was red, swollen, itching, burning, and peeling. After tying many remedies, I applied whey and the relief was very quick. It took ab ...

I was told by experts at a dental school over 20 years ago that asprin (salicylic acid) will damage gum tissue. They also told me that baking soda, salt, peroxide mixture was not good for my teeth and gums. I figured that they were probably correct about the asprin and stopped using it. However, I did not listen to them when it came to the baking soda mixture. I’m with you. As far as I’m concerned, it Op for me. Thanks for the interesting article. SoGAGirl   [End]

Soy Sauce or Tamari repair burned skin. I used Soy Sauce right after I realized that I had been out in the sun too long. Every area that I applied the Soy Sauce was fine the next day. I missed an area on my back by the next day it had turned pink, was tender, and later pealed. I burned my finger while ironing one day. It was very painful and thought about trying the Soy Sauce. I dipped my finger in a small container with the Soy Sauce and got instant relief. This was rather acquired. So, I soaked the pad of a band-aid with the Soy Sauce and then placed it over the burned spot ...

My energy level is much better, my gums feel tighter, my tongue is no longer coated most of the time, and my teeth are whiter.

So far I have used Caproyl, Sesame oil(regular and organic), organic almond oil, and organic ...
