recently i discovered DMSO combined with essential oils can help alleviate physical problems. there is some controversy about the use of DMSO. Howver, DMSO is sold in health food stores- "medical grade".  some googling research has shown some good results and that MSM is a key component of DMSO. The DMSO & MSM helps the benefits of the oils be absorbed into body/gums. has anyone ever tried this combination for their gums/teeth oral health? it might be worthwhile. tia sm   [End]

regarding oregano oil, i called the company yesterday (P 73 brand) to my surprise their product will kill all the bacteria. upon further questioning - you need to take 20 or more drops to do that. i did not think to ask if this is 20 drops at a time or daily. i am going to restrict myself to 7 drops per day until i have more updated information.   [End]

recently, i was reading an article in health science institure newsletter of april 2007, (hsibaltimore.com). in the article they reviewed the wonderful qualities of a certain clay in oregon. this particular clay called- pyrophyltte clay -had rumors of having healing qualities. the article goes on to report this clay contains at least 65 identifiable minerals and trace elements.” ... ”but the total number of minerals, rare earths and other compounds actually suspected to be in it in somewhere closer to 100.” the article continues to say--- from the looks of it, the clay detoxifies, streng ...

respectfully, i disagree. i have done a lot of fasting in my life; i sense there will be no harm doing op. i have already done many ”simple one day fasts” with op. depending on your own toxicity, the tongue can become whiten and reflect much toxins; thus op will help clean the tongue and be rid of toxic inner waste. jmho   [End]

i have been oilpulling for 10 days. i love it. what i have done upon waking up, is use organic, extra-virgin coconut oil mixed with increasing number of liquid cayenne pepper drops (dr schultz brand) in the morning for 20+ minutes. for the first couple of days i had decreasingly less tartar than the previous day- but there was always something. so, at night before going to sleep i have been clay-pulling before going to bed. it only takes 5 minutes and it does not matter if i have just eaten. it is a bit sharp but i like it. now i have almost no tartar than ever before- almost nothing. ...

i just keep mine on the stove near the pilot light but not on the pilot light. if it is directly on it, i am afraid it might be too close and some damage could occur to the plastic container. but maybe i am wrong   [End]

according to oilpulling.com the ukranian doctors wrote the best oils were sunflower and sesame. they did not specify organic, refined or any other characteristic. however, on this board- much has been written- that unrefined, organic, extra virgin cold press oils are the best. i agree with them. now there are different kinds of oils- the general consensus seems to be- sunflower and sesame are the best to begin with, sort of a baseline to learn from. after a while people have tried different oils for different reasons depending on their personal conditions. hope this helps.   [End]

thanks molly- phew. i had read something earlier and it alarmed me. http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/oral_detoxification.html here is the abbreviated/edited version of the link. Oral Detoxification Programs Ted from Bangkok writes, ”There are actually many kinds of mouth detox, but the ones I use most frequently are: 5. Heavy metal Detox. Oil pulling with peppermint oil, or in some cases added tea tree. Cod liver oil I think is better than sunflower oil, but the problem seems obvious, they are not easily found and quite expensive. Oil pulling removes heavy metals fro ...

before i begin - i am enjoying doing the op cleanse. i have notice nice little improvements even though i have only done it for 3 days. ==== is there a side effect of op on the heavy metals and/or on the metal fillings? i am not planning to change my metal fillings for the composite non-metallic fillings. i am using the CO for 20 minutes. i did it twice today. it was mixed with 3 drops of cayenne pepper. it was perfect. thanks again.   [End]

i understand the merits of oil pulling. i have read the reason op works which was presented at oilpulling.com - Swishing activates the enzymes and the enzymes draw toxins out of the blood. but someone presented a different explanation. i read it last night but not i cannot find it. can some one assist me please? thanks   [End]

laura, (and soulfulsurvivor) thank you for your very useful information. the olive oil making the teeth a greenish color sounds like something i should do for halloween and be the Hulk or some other cartoonish character. (smile) seriously though- i noticed yesterday a half day later after oil pulling my tongue was more pinkish that before.this morning it is still pinkish the following morning. i used to have cracks in my tongue. i did not see them this morning but i have not looked for a long, long time. after a quick, little rinsing, there was no oil residual left. i liked your ide ...

i never never heard of oil pulling but read about it just this a few hours ago from a different website/forum. i came here for more information and just happened to read this thread by accident a few hours ago reading a different alternative medical forum. (but i was so impressed that i already swished using olive oil for 20 minutes) but i like this idea very much and some of the other concepts to complement it- specifically the adding of cayenne pepper ( i have dr shultz liquid cayenne pepper ), the addition of oregano oil and even the usage of clay. i can even include the idea of a dr ...
