Re: try oil pulling

go to the oil pulling forum. one of the fastest things oil pulling or swishing helps with is oral hygiene or dental or mouth problems. i don't know what you have, but swishing oil may indeed help lessen the pain and help the sores. my partner had a really bad gum infection one day, the side of his head was swollen he looked like a chipmunk. on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning he used both extra virgin olive oil, swished it in his mouth for maybe 10 - 15 minutes, then virgin organic cold-pressed coconut oil ( i doubt he even did it that long, but it's good to do it as long as you can), it gets thick then it gets thin and saliva fills mouth, it pulls out toxins, and then you spit it out and clean your mouth (rinse out mouth with salt water, brush teeth). his face was normal by the next day. swishing with coconut oil would be excellent for anything microbial, like a virus (herpes) or bacteria. i find i can swish until my mouth gets full and that can be anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes. when i feel sick, i tend to be able to swish less before i have to spit it out. cold-pressed sunflower oil is also great, as are many other types of oils. use the best stuff that's in your cabinet, you don't need to wait until you have an empty stomach, but it just works best at that time. go to the OP (oil pulling) forum to get more info.
