Re: That is how they make lotions and cream - interesting

Just to reinforce what others have said here, the oil ends up white for a variety of reasons to include the results you are after = drawing toxins out of the blood in and around your mouth. These toxins end up in the oil thats swishing around your mouth. For this reason, you do not want to be overly casual with how you dispose (spit out) this oil when you are done "pulling" since it essentially constitutes toxic waste. Don't be alarmed by this, just take a little care to properly dispose of it. You may want to spit it out into a dixie cup and then flush it down the toilet. Also, you want to be very thorough in cleaning and rinsing the mouth afterward to make sure you get as much residual toxins washed out of your mouth, off your tongue, off your teeth, roof of your mouth, etc, before you swallow the dose of olive oil. If you also brush your teeth as part of the process of cleaning out the mouth after your down pulling, be sure to then clean the tooth brush. When you are rinsing/cleaning the mouth, it may help to include gargling one or more mouthfulls of salt water to help the rinsing process. Use some good salt if you have it.

Not sure why you are having problems lasting only 5 minutes but I suspect it's because you are sucking/swishing too vigorously. The same thing happened to me the first time I tried and I found it was because I was trying to suck/swish so hard that my mouth muscles were very tense. Tense muscles do not endure activity very long; relaxed ones do. Try to suck/swish the oil slowly, this should help you last 15 minutes. When the oil is in your mouth and mouth relaxed, the oil will sort of gravitate towards the section of your mouth closes to your lips. The gentle sucking action then draws the oil through the teeth. The info I read on this suggests you want to do gentle sucking/swishing for a at least 15 minutes, and you should spend this 15 minutes in a relaxed state, even close your eyes and focus solely on just the sucking and the benefits it is providing. In other words, you should not be doing housework, paying bills, sitting/typing at the computer, or doign other tasks while oil pulling.
