It's not hitting whatever your underlying issue/s is/are strongly or directly enough, right?

What different oils have you tried and for how long have you done OP? Would you say your diet and life style are very healthy?

My daughter had eczema from when she was a baby. When she was 7 yrs old, we went on the Feingold diet(which elimates food colors , preservatives , and high salicylate foods) as a family for her sister. Her eczema went away completely, but I didn't know why. A few years later, we started eating the high salicylate foods again and her eczema became very bad. Now we realize that when she eats certain foods like apples, watermelon, or cucumbers(and others) her eczema flairs up.

Do you have asthma or any breathing trouble?

PC --

Have you done the liver flush, etc.? I know my skin has cleared up some from OP, but I also plan on doing some more flushes this summer.

Have you tried Iodine (inside and out)? I think that was really helpful for me, too. (I say "I think" because I started oil pulling, a couple of months later did some LF's, and then a month or so after that I began with the Iodine supplementation -- I got better, my skin got better, and so forth, but since I did them all together and overlapping, I am never sure what therapy had which effects -- I could feel mood improvemnt, had a clearer head in terms of allergies sinuses, saw the usual mouth benefits from OP, but then I had a lot of skin improvement six months later, which may have been because of Iodine as I only did 3 or 4 flushes.)

I make an oil-iodine mix that has been great for my skin for cleaning and moisturizing. I also use about 35 mg of Lugol's every three days (internally). Lately I have been having a real breakout on my neck -- which is unusual for me -- and so I am have been pumping Vitamin C and salt to keep whatever it is moving out, and when I am rigorous about the C/salt, it goes away -- when I'm not it comes back.

My guess is that OP is doing something for you. Have you used sesame oil? That is supposed to have a lot of benefits for skin.

Best,

that simply means that the cause is not one that OP can mitigate. that or you haven done it right. or long enough. nevertheless, OP is not a cure all, just a really effective way to get some relief from many things that is cheap and can be totally self administered. i am convinced there are ongoing benefits from continued practice of OP, whether perceived or not. there are some things that the literature says may take a year to get addressed using OP. having heard you about many of your attempts to deal with this problem, i would say patience is not one of the virtues you bring to the table. i dont say this to slight you, just to give you my honest impression. i truly feel your frustration with this and hope that you find an answer very soon.

PC -

I've read about your challenges and I do feel for you.

OP is part of a regime that should be done daily, like brushing one's teeth. Some see dramatic results, some never see anything. But when going to dental appointments, I'd say that we have a 99% positive testimonial on good results. And that's after having this forum for years now.

I personally think that the cleansing comes from the bacteria we harbor in our mouth - gums and tongue or the soft tissue. Once cleansed in the morning, we don't wash down the nightly build up of gunk into our system to compromise our internal organs. Sounds a bit weird, but there have been cases of people having heart attacks after dental procedures and the bacteria release that resulted from the procedure.

Dr. Karach cured himself of a chronic blood disease. I be he had terrible oral health.

Think of it like brushing your teeth. After awhile it gets very mediative, and you'll look forward to doing it.
