Re: Skeptic oil pulls for the heck of it...
Thanks for your post and your honest assessment. As a skeptic, you have nothing on my husband. My husband is an avid reader of the skeptics websites on the net. He has challenged me on most everything I've done, but figures that at the very least, it can't hurt him. So he's dutifully taken the various supplements,
parasite cleansings, liver flushes, accupuntuncture, and all the other things he has called "airy-fairy". He has consistently told me that he feels nothing, sees nothing (even though I've noticed changes).
Well, to make a long 2 year story short, on a recent business trip he made a special trip to the pharmacy to buy a good bottle to take oil on his trip. He didn't take it on a prior trip for a week and pulled the minute he got back. We've have never had a conversation about whether he "believes" in OP or not, the proof is in his consistency for 2 years now.
When I started what he and some of my friends have termed my "hippy" period, my husband had been on psychotropics for 10 years. He had really bad breath, athletes foot and various fungal conditions. He smelled sort of weird, and at night would sweat and really smell up the room. (I know that sounds sort of gross, but he really is a gorgeous man). I figured he had some sort of systemic fungal condition resulting from
parasites (which he had been allopathically treated for) or candida or a number of other conditions that would have caused this.
All of those conditions are gone. And he is off drugs for the past 7 months without any major depressive episodes.
I am so pleased you posted. OP makes sense. My theory came from discussions with a well known chemical biologist who is a friend of my Dad's. I just couldn't wrap my brain around why it worked either. My Mom and Dad also OP (but they won't take probiotics!). They are extremely conservative.
There is not one person I have personally turned onto OP, either by personal relationship or internet that has stopped doing it. Why is that?
OP is amazing stuff. The acids in oils is amazing stuff.
