I started it 3 weeks ago using sunflower oil - no problems with it as i would take a swig from the bottle just before jumping into the shower. After 2 weeks I noticed nothing - so then purchased a better 'cold-pressed' brand of sunflower and have been pulling this for a week now, 1st thing in the morning for about 15-20 mins. I now notice a constant mild headache as mentioned by others but as yet no positive improvement signs especially for my arthritic finger. I will continue for say another two weeks and note the results, if any.

re: multiple sclerosis - gallbladder

I've been doing OP for 1-2 weeks off and on (1 tbsp of sunflower oil). I am getting this awfully thick white goop in the oil when I spit it out and have to spit after 5-10 mins. as it is such a bad feeling in my mouth. My oil never comes out clear. Will it eventually turn clear once the toxins are out?? My skin has turned awesome by the way but I have lots of gallbladder problems and am having surgery next month to have it out. Will these be toxins from the gallbladder or MS?? Have no mercury fillings :). My back pain has worsened but hopefully that will improve with time. If this works it is much more affordable that anything else out there!

I tried oil pulling and probably did it most days for one month. It definitely helped clear up an allergy that was causing excessive mucous in the back of my throat. However, I have to warn others that it did cause two of my newly placed fillings to come out and I had to have them replaced - so more novacaine and PAIN!!! I am sad that I cannot do this anymore because I felt that it would have helped me even more. But I thought it needed to be posted that losing your fillings is a real possibility. I believe that I followed directions, used sunflower oil and if anything didn't move the oil enough in my mouth (I lose concentration and just let it sit there!)
