Dear Patricia: Under Pulling Oil, you ingest lecithin, which goes INSIDE the body and causes rancid oil, toxic oils and bad oils (such as gasoline and hydrocarbons) to be removed from your body, through stools, thus reducing the toxins built up over the lifespan. It should be noted that the body simply has no means of ridding hydrocarbons out of the body except with the use of a fat emulsifier, such as lecithin.

Once food has been broken down by acids in the stomach, various enzymes in the small bowel from the gall bladder and pancreas and absorbed into the body' it cannot return to the bowel so I don't know how 'free heavy metals, petroleum etc' supposedly floating around in our bodies causing toxicity can be taken up by these oils, returned to the bowel and excreted. You are talking rubbish!Replied By Gh (Oz) on 10/12/2015
It's not rubbish, Rose. Lecithin can remove toxins that are in fat cells. Search 'phospholipid exchange therapy'.

Lecithin produces methyanine - then cysteine - then glutathione. Glutathione is a detoxifying antioxidant and immune booster. It makes metals and other toxins water soluble and binds to them, taking them out of the body. Lecithin stimulates macrophages (immune cells) to increase.Replied By Cato (Canada) on 12/20/2015
Here's a study on how lecithin increases immune cells via phosphatidylcholine:

Rose, let me tell you a story. At the gym I go to there is a steam sauna. This one guy was doing a detox to get healthy. He would bring a couple of gallons of homemade green juice with freshly juiced grass from the local river banks, Dandelion leaves, and wheatgrass, along with Celery and Cucumber and Steam distilled water. After a few weeks of doing this daily one day his body "dumped" and I was not there that evening to witness it but all the people that were there told me about it and the man himself. What happened was that whole sauna started to stink to high heaven of Diesel fuel. Come to find out he was a diesel mechanic and all that hydrocarbon poison that you said does not hide in our bodies was coming out of him. I was there the next day and you could still faintly smell the diesel. I inquired about it was excitedly told the story by those who had been present. Keep an open mind, Rose.
