Andreas,
I've read your Key to Health book and tried the oil swishing for the first time the other day. I did it for 3-4 minutes and it was fine. Lastnight, I read online about it more and this practitioner in Germany(Karach?) had success with all sorts of ailments, especially the liver. But he recommended doing it for 15-20mins. The people who got results often did this before bed and first thing in the morning on empty stomachs.
I tried this last night and it was very energizing--sort of made it difficult to sleep. My food was well digested so I don't think that was the issue. It's almost as if it took me into a state of radical metal detox and my body started to work on pains in my neck and thyroid area. I was also, incredibly cold--more so than I've ever been living in this area.
I woke up feeling actually pretty good, just not used to the process I went through. Tried it again in the morning for 15mins and not long after I started to feel very sore. I got a really bad headache in the area where the spinal cord/brain stem area is and it started to pulse/throb and has hurt all day.
My question is--do you think the long swishing time made me go through a more drastic detox and thus the new pain and aches. It almost feels as though metals we're pulled aggressively from my system. I will not do it for that long again but I wonder how the others got such good results from doing it longer.
The only other thing I can figure is that I seem to be going through some very acute past life 'stuff' and having to re-experience what I've done to others. It's very shocking ad unpleasant at times. At the same time I know this experience is for the best and am not complaining--just want to be sure that I don't push my body into something it isn't ready for physically or spiritually.
I don't mean to ask so many questions and keep coming on here like this(I understand how many other people seek your assistance) but you're always SO HELPFUL. I've read, listened and traveled to see most of the most popular natural health figures and none of them have given me the sense that they understand health and wellness and life overall like you do. I don't say that for your ego but just let you know how much appreciate your role on the earth at this moment. Thanks so much and may peace continue to be with you,
Tony
