Would Coconut Oil Be Good for Oil Pulling Since I Tend to Hyperthyroid?

Posted By Rachel (Boston, Ma) on 11/03/2011

Ted, I just read about what you said about oil pulling with Olive or coconut oil for 5 mins. How many times a day do you recommend doing this for?? Also, I have a tendency toward hyperthyroid (I do need to be on medication, I can generally get it down by exercising a lot or taking a lot of magnesium. They are just flare-ups). Do you think for me Coconut Oil because of my hyperthyroid tendencies would be contraindicated?

Thank you so very much for all of your wisdom & support! Thanks so much for all the wonderful ways you help people!!

I wonder about her question also because I do not have a thyroid but take synthroid supplements.
