Hello all,
First, what an absolutely incredible forum and really incredible people here. I would list names, but I would miss someone…and you all deserve so much credit and gratitude for being here for others in need. I find myself here almost hourly over the past few weeks.
Me? I have been lurking in the big CZ closet for quite some time now, contributing nothing and taking knowledge where I could. I am sure there are many like me out there…Average Joe, healthy as an ox all of your life until you hit your 40's and things started falling off like auto parts from a 67 Chevy doing 60 on a dirt road.
Now is my chance to give a little back from what I have found on this forum, and CZ as a whole. Any Average Joe (or Joanne) can find comfort and relief here in the Oil Pulling forum, as well as many other forums, by realizing that curing yourself and maintaining your own health does not involve swinging a black cat around your head in a burlap sack by the old oak tree at midnight.
My Issues and Results:
Issues:
December 05 - Brain fog, sick and tired (literally) all the time and about 20 lbs overweight from sitting behind my desk with little activity.
Result:
Found Apple Cider Vinegar here, Blackstrap Molasses and raw Bee Honey advise here on CZ and long story short, high energy level and been cough and cold free since I started ACV then…even when I was off it for 3 months. I have been back on it for 3 weeks again now to boost my system.
Issues:
Late September 06 – Debilitating tooth pain due to infection in receding gums. I actually had to go to the dentist and received X-rays, Motrin, antibiotics along with a recommendation to a periodontist for low to moderate periodontal disease. …I hate dentists! I also had long term jaw pains, a dry patch of skin on the bridge of my nose between my eyes, recurring dandruff and a number of other little complaints.
Results:
Thankfully I found Oil Pulling, Dental and Water Cure Forums on CZ, as well as the Saveyoursmile website. I am now armed with a Waterpick, A Sonicare Toothbrush, a big drinking glass that loads my body up with water all day, Hydrogen Peroxide, pure Baking Soda, Celtic Sea Salt, a number of supplements and a $49 a month Health Club membership.
And yes, Oil Pulling also. If I had to stop all but one of the above, Oil Pulling would continue on. Everyone has read results from others here, so I won’t go into each, but I feel Oil Pulling has much to do with all of my changes, both directly and indirectly. By indirectly, my daily visits to this very forum has kept me motivated to keep going, keep doing what is right, as the rewards are there for each of us to grasp if we only try. Heck, I am even motivated enough to hit the gym everyday (Ripple effect, right?).
So hey, Average Joes, here is your chance to do something good for yourself, with a neighborhood of kind hearted people to help motivate you as you see others achieving positive results.
And HEY...OP People...I hope you don’t mind if I poke my head out of the CZ closet and feed off your motivation and advise? I am certanily still in need of insight and hopefully can share my recent and future experiences to help others as you have!
