Does anybody do oil pulling?

[TrickyBob]

Someone had me do it once with olive oil, that was a terrible experience. (I like OO but IN stuff). I guess the Google says you are supposed to use sesame or something.

I'm not entirely sure what the benefit of it is though?

This is like taffy pulling?


No?

it kills selective bacteria
it is carrying toxic material that can't touch my throat - but it was only in my mouth
it binds with the saliva - that has to be mostly water
it re-mineralizes - when it has no minerals to speak of in it because it's oil

I do not believe it, nope, I don't.

It's gross. Tried it with coconut oil. Made me want to hurl.

It's bullshit. That's all you need to know.

Even us paleo types think it's bunk. We'll fall for almost anything.

Sesame oil is gross, try coconut oil instead. I've tried it a time or two, but am not consistent with it at all.

This lady: www.facebook.com/6kidswithlove posted this article this past week.

I follow her on FB and she does this every day.

ETA: I should add that my daily allergies are out of control and I'm desperate for some relief.

Try oil of oregano.  You can get it in pill form and it can be very helpful for allergies.

My aunt does this, with coconut oil. I think I would gag. But if you have any specific questions for her I'd be happy to ask.

Hahahaha. I had to come out of lurkdom for this. "Allow this to be a sacred time." Hahaha. Oh boy.

Oil becomes toxic and can't touch your throat?

Seems legit.
