because I am drinking distilled water. But I also take a supplement.

It is the op, because three days after stopping, I see an improvement. Too bad, I really liked the op otherwise. Maybe I just did it too much?

Being vegetarian has NOTHING to do with malnutrition. In fact, a vegetarian diet, and especially a vegan diet is MUCH healthier than the tradition diet of the western world. Many people in the western world are malnourished, most of whom are meat and dairy consumers. Anyone can become malnourished if they're not eating healthy, whole foods as their main source of nutrients. Has nothing to do with vegetarianism, in fact, vegetarians and vegans especially, are; as a whole, much healthier individuals.

As far as distilled water goes, there is nothing wrong with it. We get the majority of our minerals in foods. The problem is, due to modern day chemicals, the earth's soil is very depleted of these minerals so our food isn't as rich in them as it used to be. But if you're eating a whole foods diet rich in vegetables, consuming Sea Salt and/or himalayan salt, you should be getting enough minerals. Mineral baths such as Epsom Salt baths can help as well since our bodies are capable of absorbing minerals through the skin. Supplements are always a good idea too, for everyone. Sea vegetables are especially rich in minerals.

I liked the relaxing feeling, the clean mouth, the bluer eyes and less dry skin. But my teeth hurt so much. It is better now that I have stopped doing op for three days.

It shows you that it does do something and is very powerful for such a simple thing. I can't figure this out, we eat oil, so why should I have this reaction?

i have been oilpulling for over a year now. I have gone thru some sensitive periods, one was just before my abcess got better and then I had no pain at all after going thru alot of pain and sensitivity for a few days. I think it is the gums and teeth detoxing the extra mercury that got into them from my old mercury fillings that I had removed and replaced. So I don't worry too much about it as I view it as the bodys way of pulling these toxins out of us and so I expect we will have some discomfort on the way.
I have had so much positive results with oilpulling. It took about 4 months to rid me of allergies that I had since I was 22. I don't have the build up of plaque on the bottoms of my teeth anymore. I had some vertical lines on my cheeks that are not there anymore. So I feel it is anti-wrinkle. I did have a blister come up on my bottom lower gums, but I continued to oilpull and it also healed itself. I view these as toxins being pulled out from the gums. My teeth still get sensitive now and then but I view it as a good thing since I read that the body detoxes in waves, not all at once. It knows when it is well enough to dump toxins. Sometimes we have to go thru the clouds to see the sun. This is all IMHO.

and I did chelation. When mercury is moving I get specific symptoms, which I thankfully haven't had in years. I would not be surprised if OP removes mercury though.

I test my urine and I am 7 in the morning, that is rather alkaline. So that is not my problem. My sensitivity only lasts for a short period of time 3 or 4 days, but since the body detoxes heavy metals in stages that should be expected. One detoxes heavy metals better though when ones body is in an alkaline state from all I've read. I can go months without having sensitivity, then when I do it is not lasting, that is why I believe I'm just heavy metal dumping again, since I did have Amalgam fillings and the mercury can accumulate in the gums. As always this is IMHO.

but I am giving the op a rest. I am sure it was that, because the sensitivity went away shortly after I stopped. I was using safflower/coconut/sesame oil with nothing added.
Maybe it is a healing reaction and the three months is key? But I could not continue the way I was.

Oddly, I experienced sensitive teeth when I first started oil pulling. I did notice it when it happened but continued on pulling and it did go away. It didnt last too long or I would have gotten concerned also. I too, do not have an health issues, nor do I have any teeth problems, but started this with my husband because he has KP and I found out that op helps with that.

The question of mineral depletion has been on my mind a lot lately also. One, because I have my own distiller for water and have been concerned about leaching from that, and two the question of the OP possibly pulling out minerals. Matter of fact just yesterday after speaking to a health conslor, whom I respect, I did decide to purchase and begin adding minerals to every gallon of distilled water that I make.

However, I do still have concerns, and I do believe, that oil pulling could be pulling out important minerals.

I've been oil pulling for 3 days yesterday they didn't hurt at all. But today I'm having the worst unbearable pain ever I swear I'd ratherb have a another kid. Ive got 3 btw. It's horrible I don't know what to do I've tried everything within my budgets it has be bawling as u type. My teeth are a lot whiter and the Nicotine stains are almost got my gums don't bleed when brushing. But idk what to do I dont have insurance I'm going crazy. It's terrible😭😭😭
