I've been oil pulling for about a month. I was feeling toxic, started searching, happened upon curezone...I have some dental issues going on, so I started with
Extra-Virgin Olive-Oil that night since I had it here for cooking. I was able to last 15-20 minutes right off the bat since I like the taste. I was doing it a few times a day. My mouth felt good, but I always got a headache after.
I also had the most bizarre and turbulent dreams...I read some more, found out that peppermint killed the toxins, so I swished some mouthwash after and the headaches went away.
I read more and saw hain sunflower oil at my supermarket and bought that. I got redmond salt too. It was nice. About a week later I noticed that this big pocket in my gum where food got stuck and painful and sometimes bleeding every single time I ate was gone! Really gone and fine. Plus, no disturbed sleep.
Then I read that people liked sesame oil more so I picked up spectrum organic unrefined oil and tried swishing that. I didn't feel as good with it, and the pain came back to my teeth, the sesame oil does not seem to agree with me.
I also got some coconut oil, and swished that with some peppermint oil and that was nice, it gives me energy.
I got some hemp oil and tried that. I thought that maybe it would suck up some of the other hemp toxins that might be in me. I did it before I went to bed last night and
I have felt like I had a hangover all day today, and I haven't had alcohol for at
least a couple of days. I also had mouth sores in my cheek and tongue this morning. I pulled sunflower oil first thing and coconut later and they are gone now.
Well, enough rambling, first the good -
My teeth and gums feel MUCH better.
less acne
less cravings for food
less urge to smoke
less urge to drink and when I do it's less...
generally I feel more clear
The bad -
I'm itchy all over, though there is nothing to see. I've also started skin brushing and I like it.
I rarely get sick, and now I often feel like I have a cold coming on, but I suck on a cold-eze and it goes away.
I seem to have gained a few pounds. I don't eat munchy junk food or many sweets at all or rarely.
My ears have become sensitive to loud noises! Not a good thing for a recording engineer! I had to wear ear plugs during a drum track today.
Thanks for reading.
peace.
