I posted my changes as well. My first period after 3 weeks of pulling was odd, but in a good way. My body was definitely getting rid of stuff.

I'm actually looking forward to next month to see what it will be like after several weeks of pulling, bowel cleansing, epsom baths, etc.

Hi laughingrrrl

I was wondering which oil(s) you were using??

thanks for the update!!
happy to hear you are doing well

I've been oil pulling 2 1/2 months now, and I just had my first "normal" period in a long, long time. Over 13 years. Only now I'm having less pain than I used to. Lasted five days, predictable flow, tapered off with brownish discharge last day. Minimal to no PMS.

laughingrrrl,

Guys just don't know what they're missing, do they? It is such a relief physically and mentally when the body functions just the way it is supposed to without pain, the blahs, and wondering if the menstrual fluid has soaked outside your clothes and into the cushion. Several of us on this forum have had some wonderful "side effects" because of OP. I believe our mouth's capillaries are grabbing the essential fatty acids while the oil grasps our toxins. Unsuccessfully, I searched for that comparison chart someone posted about the amounts of Linoleic Acid (LA), Alpha-Linolenic Acid (LNA), Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), and Omega-3, 6, 9's that several oils contain. The chart concluded that all plant oils contain these.

You have probably read this but, Just D recently had a post re our feminine gift.

optimum also had a post about her menses since beginning OP. //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=776865
On the morning hers began, she had used cod-liver oil for OP.
Caution: Questions rise about cod-liver oil or any oil of animal origin.

Wombat posted a superb article she said she got from Mountain Rose re oils to consider

laughingrrrl, Thank you for sharing; your info is a value for all of us.

For us older gals, OP has done amazing things for my peri-menopausal symptoms. Prior to doing this I was getting all those wonderful sweats (day and night), aches, pains, mood swings. After OP (and liver flushing) all of that completely went away. And I mean COMPLETELY.

I think I'm pretty much done, but I was wondering if OP might bring it all back again. I've had my fingers crossed, and so far, nothing...thank goodness.

But all in all, I miss Flow. There was something so comforting about it(even through the pain, bloating etc). It was your body, doing what a woman's body does. Believe it or not, you sort of miss it.....

Do you think OIl pulling would work for someone who usually doesnt get a period unless I'm on birth control???

I have been pulling for about 5 weeks now and just got my period today. I was so surprised because I barely had any warning signs. I normally go through about 3 days of being very emotional, crying at everything...commercials, sappy movies, unsappy movies, pictures, you name it! I had only a few hours of this a couple days ago and yesterday I had a few abdominal pains that lasted only a few seconds. Then I woke up today and boom...flow arrived. For the last 2 years I got a day of brown discharge before my period but for the last 2 months I haven't gotten it. Normally the first 2 days of my period I get really bad cramps but I haven't gotten them so far, we will see. I'll let you know.
