Re: Tongue turned black, old timers??

it is very interesting because your infection would indicate xtreme heat then Antibiotics are considered quite cold. It does stand to reason that your kidneys would back up but sounds like you are addressing that. Sometimes the cleansing we do can damage us more if not cautious and slow.The oil pulling is so new to me it is feasable you are bringing those toxins back up to the surface again it is wise you are doing the probiotic and kombucha. For me I have too many defeciency's to fast and cleanse at the same time. I have had to do this so slow as well!!

Man I wish I could take a look at your tongue( sounds like a bad come on line LOL)This is how we do a major part of diagnoses in TCM
when you look in the mirror at it, gently protrude the tongue and notice if it quivers or curves slightly to the left or right this is a more serious indication of what we call internal wind which would tell you how backed up that liver is, if it does that I would get Acupunture ASAP. You don't have to do the chinese herbs if you got your own thing going on. If your interested I can give you more info on chooosing a good doc.

good luck and take care
