I just wanted to mention... years ago we discovered that oil pulling goes a long way to putting your nasty fasting mouth back in shape!
Drop in to the oil pulling forum for more info, but basically, you take a tablespoon of good oil like virgin coconut, olive or sesame. Swish it around in your mouth, pulling it between your teeth, for 5-20 minutes. A bunch of nasty bacteria and junk end up in the oil, which you spit into a nearby waste receptical. Then brushy brushy and voila! Amazing how great your mouth feels and smells!
Once a day is fine, twice a day if you are an OCD type. This keeps a lot of the bacteria and junk you would swallow out of the ole system, which you are so fervently trying to detox. Can that be bad?
Enjoy your cleanse!
Saludos,
Somer

This is a reply to # 2,259,424Somer,
This quite contrary to what all fasting experts say. As soon as you put any food item in your mouth, your digestive system gets active thinking the food is coming in, but then it does not. This leads to starvation. I rather clean my tongue and mouth with water and scrape the tongue with tongue scraper. I am on my fourth day and I have very little smell from my mouth because I am scraping my tongue every three to four hours a day. This way I also pull a lot of mucus from my throat.
I love oil pulling, but not during the water fast.

This is a reply to # 2,259,509Each to his or her own! I have been fasting for fourteen years, and love to use this simple technique. I have never felt that swishing oil in my mouth stimulates my digestive process in any way. If you swallowed the stuff of course that would be counterproductive, but of course I expell the oil, then rinse and brush and voila! A whole new mouth.
My business is food. I find I can taste foods as part of my job, expell, rinse, and have never had any sense that the digestive process, which I think I'm pretty familiar with, has been stimulated in any way.
Best to all,
Somer

This is a reply to # 2,259,559I tried doing OP while fasting one time thinking that as you say, since you're not injesting it won't make a difference. Oddly enough the OP made me ravenously hungry afterwards so it didn't work out well for me.
