Hello Trapper,
You appear to be the "go to person" on this forum. I was hoping you'd respond to post I put up a wk ago but nothing. Anyway, do you have any input about oil swishing/pulling w/castor oil?
I've been swishing since about the 2nd wk of Dec '06 w/great results. I 1st started w/organic olive oil which, while it was fine, after about a wk I noticed my teeth looked really yellow. I switched to coconut oil and then my teeth began to look whiter. No one seems to know the reason for this but that's why I switched. I've also used safflower oil. So out of curiosity (since I had a bottle of castor oil) I decided 4 days ago to experiment w/it. Castor oil seems to be used for so many cures, etc. While it is quite thick for about 1st 10 mins of swishing, it becomes much thinner during the last 10 mins. I can't say I notice any significant difference except that my teeth and gums do appear to look better. Of course, if one is switching oils (and as I said, I've only been using the castor oil for 5 days--today being my 5th) I don't know which is doing the trick.
I don't see anyone saying they use or have used castor oil. I'm wondering if there's something wrong w/using it. Again, any info you can pass my way would be appreciated.
Thanks much.
CJ

MoreThis is a reply to # 828,785i saw the question about castor oil and i did not respond because i have no knowledge or experience with it. i have some and have used it for a couple of little things but not oil pulling. it was actually one of my early experiments in wearing oil.
i see no reason why it cannot be used and your experience is a confirmation of that. i agree that switching oils seems to have an effect on efficacy. even in the mixes i have been using, just switching the mix seems to help and i see no particular oil thats demonstrably better than the other. i can get organic unrefined untoasted sesame so thats what i am using as it is the most highly recommended by the experts. i refuse to pull with hemp or my gourmet olive oil because i eat that. i use a cheaper kind of olive oil to mix with the sesame. thats what i have been using for a while and it is fairly consistent. i am still investigating but it takes time.
sorry i couldnt have been more help on the subject.

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 829,139Hi 73889,
I went to Virginia Beach 3 years ago and visited the Edgar Cayce Institute...sure wish I had had more time, would have loved a treatment there. At any rate, I purchased castor oil from there and it was used a few times and then ended up on a shelf forgotten. Well, I found this site and have checked out many of the forums and saw something about using castor oil as a flush. I pulled out my castor oil and used it for just that. I had no issues with it, it worked seemingly as well as the person who had posted the thread.
Also, looking at the bottle, there is no expiration date, either.
Consequently, I would have to answer no, castor oil does not spoil.
Enjoy your evening and week ahead!
Love, Light and Peace,

I'm thinking of using it in a cleanse.
Now, I need to build up the courage!- Re: Can castor oil spoil n/m #68716

This is a reply to # 829,377I've experienced oil gone rancid, but I have no experience with castor oil, at all. In fact, I've actually had refined linseed oil (for oil painting) go rancid!
Anyhow, that's my input! LOL

This is a reply to # 829,139I've "heard" castor oil can indeed go bad ... indicative of odor and discoloration.
In addition, my grandmother told me to use ALL oils (not just castor oil) within 6 months after breaking seal.
:D But ... like all hearsay ... take what you will and discard the rest. :D

This is a reply to # 829,891Then I will restate, castor oil MAY spoil but in the 3 years, I have had mine, it has not. I used it without any problems, thank you to God :D.

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 828,785From Wiki:
Undecylenic Acid is an organic unsaturated fatty acid derived from natural Castor oil (ricinoleic acid)....Undecylenic acid is produced by cracking of Castor oil under pressure.[2]
Medicinal uses
Undecylenic acid is a natural fungicide ... for skin disorders or skin problems. It's the active ingredient in OTC medications for skin infections, and relieves itching, burning, and irritation. For example, it's used against fungal skin infections (mycosis) such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candida albicans, etc. [3] It's also used in the treatment of Psoriasis.[4]
Undecylenic acid is also proven to have anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties that are effective on viral skin infections such as the herpe simplex virus.
I have wondered about using Castor oil, and am definitely going to try it. It stands to reason that it would be very good, because of the above. Similaryly, Caprylic acid, which is also anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, comes from Coconut oil.

This is a reply to # 829,559Hi Scott,
Thanks for all that information. That's what I was looking for. And yes, I'm having great success so far w/the castor oil. On my 6th day now. And I've noticed my teeth are even whiter than w/the safflower and coconut. As I said, the castor is quite thick for about first 5-8 mins so you're really working at swishing but then thins out. Or perhaps it would be different w/someone else depending upon their body chemistry. I'm going to continue to switch oils every so many weeks to see what happens. I only just started oil pulling at beginning of Dec. '06 but w/great results thus far.
Again, thanks for the data.
CJ
