No, I'm saying that when Dr. Karach first started to study this, the only choices for "safe" oil in Russian would have been refined. I think it's just one of those things that have been spewed out by Col. Rao for ages.
Col. Rao (of Oil Pulling.com) emailed me completely pissed that I was saying that we could OP with anything, and that we prefer unrefined, and organic if we could get it. He's very old school as far as I'm concerned.
The guy said he had the original studies of Dr. Karach, and he was going to email me, but instead emailed me and read me the riot act...LOL.
So, knowning what we know about oil, we push the unrefined. But seriously, use what you have. It won't hurt you. Some people here have access to very little variety of oils, so if all you can get is (cringe) Saffola, then go for it.
Does that make sense?
