Great words of truth and encouragement (sp) I see oil pulling as a way of helping the body dump toxins that it has built up over night. I am a HUGE believer in ACV, lemon juice and now oil swishing first thing in the morning. For many differnt reasons, I'm also working on my sitz bathing right after this. It causes me to be a bit "run down" for a few, but then BAM!! I'm off and running. I believe that for me it's because I attack the stuff that built up over night. With that said, I agree that these claims of "cancer cured" and the like are remarkable and I would pray true. God did say over and over that he has made the simple to confound the wise, and it doesn't get much more simple (or cheaper) than this. However, FOR ME, I see this as another few gallons in the river of life running through me that will eventually eroade (7th grade education here) the granite that is the garbage built up in me. I kinda like to picture the grand canyon when I think of a perfectly healthy human being.
