I tried the Olive-Oil this morning as well. I always use sesame. The oil for me stayed thick. When I spit, I too could not get the taste out of my mouth. Hours later a couple times I got a sense of the smell. Very odd. I have feet pains but feel no difference yet. Will post after another day of Olive Oil. But it is harder so swish for me.

That is great, I love your report! Would be interesting to get a bunch of people's experiences and chronicle them somehow. Are you rotating your foot or working it in any way while pulling? Even a light massage might be good. I usually try to stretch, bend, rotate lightly, etc if I have any areas of soreness. I really notice this is best at the end of the day, as my feet and knees from sitting all day really benefit if I pull when I get home and do the light stretching.

One thing I will mention about the olive oil with me, if I feel bad after pulling then I feel no compunction about doing two, three, however many pulls it takes to make me feel better. This is definitely a time constraint on work days, but luckily I have not had any problems then. I had a couple of days well after a month of pulling when I had a major detox going on. One morning after pulling twice on a Saturday I began to feel progressively WORSE. I pulled again and got a headache (very unusual for me) so I waited a bit to see if it would clear (it didn't) then I pulled three more times in quick succession (the oil thinned immediately the first two times) and I could literally feel the headache lessen with each pull. My number three (6th of the day) it was gone completely, and I resumed my day feeling great.

Such a great resource we have to just yank whatever is stirred up in our blood - and as far as I can tell no 'overdoing' it (drink tons of water though, it is very dehydrating). I think my after work pull is even more important as far as my body goes, I pull and exercise in the morning but after 8 hours at a desk my body feels very scrunched and congested. Add a commute to that and boy am I ready for a good pull when I get home! It is usually much more toxic than the morning one, too.

I have not experienced the oily taste thing in my mouth, that is interesting. Do you brush your tongue? I do my tongue and the roof of my mouth and teeth after the saltwater rinse. I have also been using some of the salt water up the nose (then a good blow) and it really keeps things clear.

Keep us informed, this is great!

This is day one for me with olive oil! I'm encouraged by your post, maybe tomorrow my teeth will look a little whiter as well. Yesterday I was thinking of posting on this forum asking everyone to help talk me out of using the Crest Whitestrips I have sitting on a shelf.

I'll press on and be patient!

I didn't notice anything different swishing the oo, but then I was running around getting ready for work and not truly focused on the task in my mouth.
