I use sunflower oil to do the OP. What I hope for is a healthy mouth and solid teeth. I am 77 years old. I haven't had trouble with rocking molars since I started OP. The best success I've had is regular bowel movements, at times more than once or twice a day.

I have to be honest I thought there was no way something like this could work. I was definately skeptical but to be honest my health has been so poor the last few years I had nothing to lose. It works. I am on day three of oil pulling with 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil and already there is a marked difference in my health. I have been having two get up at least twice per night to go to the bathroom for over ten years, these last two nights I've slept right through and I don't even have any urgency to go when I get up these last few days. Although I do have to say I do have enormous bags under my eyes that I don't usually have.. that seems to be odd seeing as I'm sleeping a million times better but I'm going to keep going and see how things pan out. I'll update and let you know if there are any other improvements as I suffer from chronic candida also and am hoping this will help it. thanks for this website.. it's great!

I also wanted to comment on oil pulling. I also started oil pulling just over 2 weeks ago, for 20 minutes every morning with sunflower oil. I started doing it because my teeth have been terribly sensitive lately. I've had problems with them being sensitive for about a year now. Special toothpastes helped at first, but only for a couple months. My teeth were getting progressively worse all the time. Whenever I ate or drank anything they'd start to throb, even if the temperature of the food or drink wasn't hot or cold. 3 weeks ago I was about at my breaking point. I was at school and my teeth were throbbing so bad I was in tears. The next morning or the morning after I started oil pulling. I noticed a difference within two days, and within 3 days my tooth sensitivity was 100% gone! Not only that, my teeth feel stronger that they've felt for about 3 years. I'm only 23 years old, but I've always felt like my teeth have been weak, and I've always had cavities. They feel strong and healthy now, and I can eat any cold or hot food without any sensitivity now! This is amazing! I'm so thankful that I found this website and I'm looking forward to seeing more positive, possibly unexpected results with the oil pulling in the future! I would advise anyone with issues in their mouth to start oil pulling asap! It works!

I began oil pulling about a week ago. I also began a general detox at the same time using 2 TBS of APC and 1/4 tsp. of baking soda in 1/2 glass of spring water. I am using organic sunflower oil for the OP. I first noticed that my constant allergys and sinus problems abated almost immediately, also my osteo arthritis is much better. Oh, by the way, my cracked heels aren't cracked anymore ! In this dry weather I haven't been able to get rid of them in months!

Its been over 2 months since I started O'ping but approx 6 weeks since I commenced using ___Sunflower oil and 3 weeks since I have brushed my teeth straight after rinsing my mouth with warm water. The soreness and swelling around the knuckle of my arthritic finger has just about disappeared. I tested this last w'end by not O'ping for two days and the soreness returned by Monday morning - 3 days of O'ping later, its gone again. The key for me I think has been using the ___ oil and a good brushing straight after the rinse (not 1/2 hr later after breakfast). Additionally, like so many others, I have noticed my gums looking much healthier.

Oil pulling with sunflower oil cured my toothache.

I had such a bad toothache. The pain was unbearable. I called my dentist and was told that the earliest appointment I could have was in two weeks! Yikes! In desperation I found the oil pulling remedy and decided to try it. I put about 1/2 a tablespoon of ordinary sunflower oil in my mouth and the relief was instantaneous. I swished it around in my mouth for about 15 minutes. As soon as I spit it out the pain came back, but not as intense. I used the oil swishing again and did it fairly often for a couple of days until the pain disappeared. After that I did it about twice a day.

When I finally went to my dentist, I fully expected her to discover a cavity or an abscessed tooth in the making, but, incredibly she found nothing. And believe me, she poked and prodded like there was no tomorrow!

That happened about a year ago. I recently went for another checkup and again my teeth were fine. I still do the oil pulling occasionally, because sometimes I just don't have time, but it sure is a cure for toothache!

I started the OP'g around 2 years ago and because of my scientific curiosity I experimented with all oils. My conclusion is that the author of the therapy is correct. Sunflower seed or Sesame seed oils are optimal. I'm sure I also read (of the author) that the oil(s) indigenous to the person is the best choice for success. Therefore, Sunflower seed oil is my oil of choice.

The most profound experience I had with OP'g was following a period of several weeks when I failed to allow the time for the daily therapy, I awoke one morning with a painful tooth, a molar. It appeared to be abcessed. I began to swish with the oil and in about 2 minutes exactly I felt an extreme tickle in my throat; a signal to cough! I was able to get near enough the commode to dump that oil without spewing it undesireably on the surfaces of the bathroom. For the next 15 minutes I expelled mucous as I gagged and coughed. The abcess apparently cured in that short time!

I brush my teeth and tongue 3 times and rinse with CS or water with Ox-E drops following each OP therapy.

I would like to know why it is suggested to OPg only on an empty stomach. I have done it all times of day and have not noticed a difference.

The Ox-E drops mentioned above have been very effective with my husband's systemic staph infection and a secondary yeast infection. Also it could be responsible for curing leaky gut. The one I am using is Nzymes Ox-E-drops which has a pH of 13.

I LOVE this thread,
MaryEllen

I started OP first thing in the morning with Sunflower Oil for 12 to 15 minutes about 6 weeks ago because of a recurring gum infection from a gum flap that catches food though I did miss two days a week when away from home. It did the trick, nipping another infection in the bud that started during one of those 2 day lapses before it became inflamed and painful.

Ironically I started OP a couple of weeks before my quarterly blood cholesterol profile which was shockingly lower than it has been in spite of being on Lipitor for years! For the first time in my adult life, total cholesterol dropped below 190 (down 30 points) and LDL below 100 (down 25 points), making me a huge believer in OP. I don't intend to change the Sunflower oil to another unless those numbers go back upwards in a future profile.

Additionally, my teeth are whiter without wearing away enamel, postmenopausal hot flushes have decreased in frequency and intensity, and my morning coffee afterward OP is delicious LOL

Oil Pulling has changed my life in just 10 days of use. Every morning I use 1 TBSP of Sunflower Oil and swish for 20 minutes while I read my e-mails and check the news. At first I had pretty bad headaches all day, but i just figured I was detoxing so I dealt with them. Now I am on day 10 and the benefits are abundant. My teeth are whiter of course, but I also wake up more refreshed, my hair seems thicker, the lymph nodes in my neck that were swollen (due to mouth health) have gone down considerably, and I think so clearly now. I do have one question though, is it normal to break out with acne (4 or 5 pimples), during the beginning of this process?

Michael
