Organic cold pressed sunflower oil, 12-20 minutes each time, twice a day, for 2 weeks now.

Whiter teeth, mucous coming loose, hoping my gums will grow back.

almost every day sunflower oil 10 minutes.
excema has gotten worse-waiting for a reversal
other than that I cannot pinpoint any changes-waiting for some teeth improvements.
I also got some ear crackling.
My feeling is that this is good for me and I will continue

Once a day AM

Brush teeth with Oil of Oregano and water
Pull with Sunflower Oil, 20 minutes or 2 10 minute intervals
Rinse with Sea Salt and warm water

About 1 month now

I have to say that I haven't really noticed any difference in any way, except that the pulling loosens mucous, which probably would have come out anyway. I can't tell if my teeth are whiter. My gums are definitely healthier than they were before, but I think it's from the Oil of Oregano, which I've been brushing with off and on for a couple of months.

I'm unofficially on the third day of an OJ fast, so I'm curious to see how pulling will affect that.

I use expeller-pressed sesame oil, 2x for 5 min each, for 1 week, so far.

Haven't seen any changes yet. My gums are very recessed, and am waiting for the white oak bark powder to arrive in the mail, in order to deal with this problem.

- Sunflower oil here
- Started 2 weeks ago~
- Always at least once in the morning for 10-20 mins (sometimes spit out and get a new tbl spoon); occassionally once in the afternoon
- I rise with water about 5 times afterwards; then brush using http://www.veganessentials.com/catalog/kiss-my-face-triple-action-t...

At first I noticed a increase in bowel movements ie (I am usually a 1x a day person and then for the first few days I was going 2x) - but now it's back to 1x
nothing else noted. I do suffer with decent gum disease and other health related issues.

My plan is to at least give this 3 months to see if I notice anything; I may try using the toothpaste you mentioned Molly the Xylitol toothpaste (any good online place to get this at?).

-note- I am also doing a chelating protocal

Daermo

first thing in the morning 15-20 mins. with safflower oil...[will get sunflower next]
rinse with ozonated water mixed with unrefined Sea Salt & lemon
(today no lemon, pinch pure baking soda instead)
Brush teeth and gargle with same solution
smell the water and blow nose afterward
use Trapper's advise: create vacuum under tongue, also swish slowly and concentrate on chewing as well...
Swish 2-3 minutes change oil as per Andreas Moritz advise. [hold breath when voiding the oil or I would hurl.]

Teeth went at least 2 shades whiter in the first couple of days no further yet.
Tongue: pink (even after eating)
Breath: fresh all day

Very alert and energetic
No back pain and my foot pain has lessened
skin seems fresh
Developed a cracked lip (??) [2-3 days now]
soles of feet still cracked - no change (yet?)
noticed teeth sensitivity yesterday (didn't know about other reports - but wondered) will add more calcium. (please explain conection calcium/sensitive teeth)
hands are softer, less cracked.
BM did change (usually 3x like clockwork), but not stopped just somewhat erratic and a bit [very little] gassy at times (liver?)
Do hear crackling from the liver throughout the day..

Also:
Drinking Pat's energized water w/sea salt & lemon
juice of 1 lemon w/1tsp cayenne
Bless all before consuming
as per Owen's advise tell the food/water and my body to use this food/water to nourih the body and the soul and use to heal where needed
B complex +B12 sublingual...
eating graham crackers (for liver)

Overall: will continue - the fact the oil expelled could make me feel sick enough to hurl, tells me something must be in there and it is not good!

Besides, with the proven link between dental health and heart disease if all I get is heathier teeth and gums, then I've done a great service for my body.

Feel the good energy of all on this site... (it's like a big hug..)

Happy swishing!!!!

I've been pulling for the last 2 weeks, using Safflower Oil, though once it is used up, I plan to get sunflower. I do it once a day in the a.m. I try to do it for a total of 10-20 minutes. I use multiple spoonfuls, spitting it out when it gets foamy. I rinse with salt water. I continue to use regular toothpaste.

So far, the biggest improvement is my gums. They are less red and swollen, and becoming a healthy pink. I can't say yet that my teeth are significantly whiter. I get increased post nasal drip after swishing, and I currently have a sinus infection that I am unsure whether it has come about because of swishing or not.

I'm on my 5th day of pulling sunflower oil twice in the morning 10 to 12 minutes each pull in succession, and once in the evening for 10 to 12 minutes each pull. I am starting to be able to hold the oil in longer because that metalish taste has been disappearing (which was making me want to hurl the oil out sooner.)

I notice sinus drainage, my sinus and ear pressure/inflamation? has flared up but yet feels a little better at the same time. It may be too early to tell what all of the benefits are yet. However I am sleeping a relaxed through the night without waking easily as I was before.

Two weeks now. Once a day, first thing in the a.m., 15-20 minutes, sunflower oil. Rinse with warm water. Can't see any difference yet, but still hopeful! Curious how you're going to keep track of everyone. Good luck and thanks! M

I've been using sunflower oil and haven't noticed much of anything going on. Maybe a little less tooth sensitivity.

Once a day first thing in the morning
Brush with salt & baking soda and crystal salt before
Sunflower Oil w/ a couple drops oregano oil
7 - 10 minutes (once or twice)
Brush with salt & baking soda and crystal salt after
Followed w/ 1 teaspoon sole (so-lay') and glass of water
A couple of weeks so far

I feel more clean and energetic
Teeth are whiter and less bleeding gums
BM better
sinuses are better
Joints feel better
Lost couple of pounds
I plan to continue this

I am on day 2 of this, using sunflower oil twice daily for 10-15 minutes. I am also "detoxing", have done a mild liver cleanse a few weeks ago, and am eating a low fat no cholesterol, gluten-free diet. Lots of veggies!! drinking detox teas. I will be starting a Bentonite clay detox cleanse recommended by my naturopath this week. I do castor oil packs, and Epsom Salts baths.
I also started, in the last month, walking or doing the elliptical machine over 5 miles per day.
So I feel much better in general, though itchy from the detox.
It will be hard to know if any improvements are directly from the oil pulling, or from the collaborative effects of all of the above.

I have been doing OP 2 weeks now with Sesame Oil; still trying to find Sunflower oil. I do it once a day, first thing in the morning for 15-20 minutes.

My teeth are whiter and my skin is softer. Still waiting on the energy and hope this will eventually help the bags under my eyes.

I have only been pulling since last week. Still, very exciting results! Cannot wait to see what prolonged pulling will accomplish...

I pull 1-2x a day with cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, sometimes I do two shorter pulls at a time, 5-10 mins each, sometimes one longer one, approx 15 mins. I notice if I do a couple short pulls I tend to feel more energized afterwards, when I do the longer ones, kind of drained.

I do a salt water rinse/gargle directly after pulling then brush with some health food toothpaste (unsure of name) with tea tree oil and ginger. I like doing the saltwater rinse directly after the pull instead of after brushing because I am a freaky germaphobe and the thought of sticking my toothbrush in my mouth right after is just too much for me to bear...

Results so far are a definite brightening of teeth 3-4x brighter, gums look good, tongue has greyish cast (detox mode) to it after pulling but then returns to normal later in the day. Have had healing of right wrist/elbow (computer fatigue) which I have had for about six months and was a chronic problem....lost that after the second day. Also have noticed I am free from aches and pains in knees, feet and after exercising. Increased energy and stamina, I am exercising more, skin tone is better and softer, nails nicer, feeling more relaxed and have lost a bit of weight, even. Disposition is definitely sunnier -- I am more relaxed and less stressed in general. Definitely FEEL healthier and my hope is for a complete upswing in my metabolism/thyroid. I have been treating this holistically but sure would be nice not to have to struggle with it any more.

I will try the sunflower oil later this week to see if I notice a difference, but so far I am very happy with the olive oil.

Hi Molly! I'm going to start oil pulling and was wondering where you get the toothpaste you reccommend?
