I don't know if they are related but Look at waterfall d-mannose website, d mannose is a Sugar that does not feed candida and gets rid of uti's.

Some folk will usually experience 'die-off' symptoms when they start out on coconut oil detox diet. These peeps will often experience headaches, joint stiffness, foggy headedness.. Don't worry! This is a good sign! It means your body is getting rid of the fungal infection. These symptoms will usually last for about 3-5 days.

One idea that may help is to drink plenty of lemon juice during this detox diet, so that help enhance the cleaning benefits to your body & re-hydrate your body.

Why lemon juice? It has cleansing properties, plus you can also add Sea Salt (1 teaspoon to a glass) that will replace the minerals that your body has lost during the detox.

wow 3 times a day with coconut oil is A LOT! No matter how healthy you are, you would have some die off effects of all kind of pathogens and nasties including candida. If you had infections and candida overgrowth, the headaches and the worsening of the symptoms means your body is struggling to keep up with a die-off effects.
I also started with coconut oil, and I would swish with it once but sometimes twice or ever three times a week. The first few days I was full of energy and telling everyone how amazing it feels, clean mouth, clean head... and then it started. a week of feeling so lifeless, as if I was run over by a truck.
And I was healthy to start with, on a good diet, but clearly my body had so much to deal with. When I think of it, I used to have sore throat and sinus infections quite often. Not any more, since I started pulling i was only sick once and the infection was gone, and I mean GONE in a day and a half with nothing but vit c.
let your body do the job, support it with good nutrition and vit c, lots of water and be patient.
The symptoms mean it is working.
the white teeth are the bonus.
Oil pulling won't solve all your health issues in a week, but it is still the cheapest and most powerful single remedy (ok, maybe with an exception of high doses of liposomal Vit c ) to improve your health all around.

I dont know if that helps but when doing oil pulling hard i experienced a hard painful pimple in gums behind the front teeth.
Man it hurted bad, i couldnt eat.
OP was pulling out waste and ''hidden'' infections.
