Everyone reacts differently. Someone below said it gave them bad breath and BO....that was a new one on me.

I'd say if you just did a bunch of cleanses, you might be very clean. I wouldn't stop though, there is much more to OP than removing toxins....the bacteria removal from your mouth is king.

Hi Dirk,

My sesame oil spit-out is never nasty-smelling (nor are any of the other oils I use). What does get pretty awful is when I spit it into a large water bottle and then after a few days it gets totally stinky and disgusting as I am sure everyone can imagine.

And my sesame also gets thin and white after several minutes...when it does that I get a new mouthful and keep going until I have reached a total of 20-25 mins...

this has to do with circulation. i would say you are fairly young or fairly athletic or both. your oxygenation is good. it is like a cesspool, which is what most peoples bodies have become. what you are pulling from your blood and tissues is food debris. this debris begins to collect in tissues over time. as time and lack of circulation take its toll, this stuff is literally putrid waste distributed throughout the body.

if the "creation" of this stuff is not mitigated, it is what creates the environment for infections to grow in and cancers to feed off of. it also taxes the immune system, creates mucus, and changes the body's pH to an an overall acidic state. the healing that comes with oil pulling is due in large part to the removal of this offal.

the ultimate cure is fasting. you can fast with orange juice only for a month and your tongue will exude this stuff and be white the whole time. your bowels will continue to fill with this stuff and daily bowel movements are not only possible but necessary every day to keep from poisoning oneself. it is amazing to see bowel movements weeks after any solid food has been eaten.

you may be asking yourself what the prevention of this is. i hope so, anyway. it is eating raw. cooked food is what this stuff is made of. dairy is particularly bad at this because none of it is raw. homogenized milk has no enzymes and is ready made for passing through the stomach wall and into the extracellular space throughout your body.

the cook does the killing in any family.

I have been pulling for 2 weeks now, this followed a period of a week where I drank fresh fruit juices only with a light lunch of salads with a small amount of tuna and or rice (I was trying to avoid a too rapid weight loss as I was worried about gaining more weight too quickly, when the fast was finished). I have an intolerance to wheat, recently I had slipped into bad habits and began eating wheat again. I had reached a point (again) where my body felt completely poisoned. Headaches, aching limbs and joints, nausea, terrible lethargy,bloated and gassy stomach etc.I had also gained weight very rapidly.I felt I had reached my rock bottom. I had not fasted before but thought a fast may rid my body of the toxins faster.I'm sure it did, my symptoms became less very quickly. After the fifth day, my tongue was thickly coated, while searching the internet to find an answer to my coated tongue, I came across OP. My first experience also did not produce any bad smells, I tried firstly with olive oil, the oil turned to a pail yellow but not white, however I did feel a strong bitter taste coming from the back of my throat. Stains at the back of my teeth virtually disappeared with the first pull, my tongue was considerably less coated. The second day, I invested in organic sunflower oil, this gave me the same results as the olive oil but became white and thin. I also wondered if the lack of smell meant that I was relatively purged through the fast. Today I pulled with coconut oil and the bitter taste at the back of my throat returned (I think this taste must come from my smoking habit). I am still drinking a lot of fruit and eating salads and occasionally fish. I pull shortly after waking for 20 minutes, My tongue still becomes lightly coated..maybe still the effects of the fruit or maybe as a result of toxins coming to the surface. Sorry to ramble on a bit but in reply to your post, I feel that although there is no smell, I'm sure that continued pulling will still be ridding your body of toxins. After all , we are exposed to toxins on a daily basis so there is always something to pull.
