I have been oilpulling about a year and 1/2. It's spring and everything was blooming now and it was a bad time to take off. I used to have severe allergies. My ige count was 626 and the allergist doctor said it's supposed to be 26. So it may take some time to be completely healed coming from such an extreme start. I know our blood quality starts to change in 4 months according to what I've read and then after nine months our cells will start to kick in, but I've read when someone has a chronic condition such as cancer, etc.. that they want to at least keep up any healing routine they have been on for seven years, to allow time for all the cells to renew. I think it may be the same in my case with the extreme allergies. If my body is still trying to cleanse any excess, it can do a better job with the blood cleaned daily from oil pulling than with out the oil pulling. This is all my humble opinion from many years of researching natural health protocols.


I believe my body was used to the daily oilpulling so it had a daily routine of dumping a certain amount of toxins. Then when I stopped for a couple of days, the body was still used to the extra help from the oilpulling so it probably continued to dump the same amount of toxins out to be eliminated and my system got overwhelmed because it was used to getting the extra detox from the oilpulling.Thus I had the allergies come back. When I continued to oil pull my system got back into balance and started cleansing toxins to be eliminated again at a it's familiar pace, and the allergies went away.

The body is always working to cleanse itself and oil pulling is a way of cleansing as we've heard of people on this forum who went to their doctor and found that their blood test showed the cleanest blood they'd ever seen and to the dentist and they were told they had the cleanest mouth they'd ever seen. This takes alot of stress off the body so the body sees that it is okay to dump toxins to be eliminated. The body knows in it's wisdom when it's safe and clear to cleanse itself from the toxins that we are bombarded with daily in our air, food and water. When the blood is cleaner and the teeth have less bacteria the body says okay, all clear. Let's clean house now. I think my body was at the point that it had the all clear for a year and 1/2 now so it was still cleaning house at a greater pace but then I stopped the all clear button for a couple of days (stopped oil pulling) and it lost it's balance. I believe that's why alot of the chelation websites say that the body chelates heavy metals in stages and not all at once, because the body knows when the all clear time is, especially with regard to heavy metals, cause to remove too much all at once could be deadly. All this IMHO.

OP should be considered like brushing one's teeth. A daily habit.

Does simply brushing your teeth "cure" you of anything? No it doesn't. OP MITIGATES damage, just like brushing your teeth.

I don't think you dump toxins when you OP. What I believe is that it very effectively cleans all the bacteria from your mouth, including melting the colonies that forum and cause plaque and tartar. When that bacteria dumps into your system, your body is trying to fight it, when it should be fighting those other invaders, like allergens and cancer.

Natural health simply means - A clean system = Effective natural defenses

I do believe that cures can happen with OP however. If you have failing organs due to an overabundance of bacterial growth in your dental cavity, then it stands to reason that you will indeed cure that organ if you take the load off and let your bodies natural defenses do their magic.

Because of the amazing skin transformations, there also seems to be no doubt that Essential Fatty Acids are entering your system while you OP. What do those do? EFA's are the king of the food chain. Adding essential oils have a very extreme transit system while you OP. So if you use any EO's, using them during pulling is like taking sublingual medication. An immediate hit to the blood stream (as do the EFA's too).

It's the most effective healing modality out there. With almost immediate results. Nothing like it.
