new to oil pulling, candida, skin and eyesight questions...
So Ive been having issues since last March, horrible insomnia among other things, and also have ovarian cysts, and candida. I just got insurance so I did get some tests done recently... No
Sugar abnormalities, liver and thyroid levels all came back normal. So my next appointment is with the ob/gyn to deal with the cysts.
I have tried
Iodine in the past but I would get that golf ball feeling in my throat, panic attacks, and chest pains so I stopped taking iodine. Its been months. I also had an EKG and chest x-ray done, which came back normal too. My sleep patterns have never really gotten any better and I have aged dramatically in the past 9 months. I would say I look 15 years older. My eyelids sag more and my undereyes are thin and crepey, crows feet and wrinkles everywhere, my hands too. I think this might be due to high estrogen/ cortisol and possible early osteoporosis, so I definitely need to get a hormone test. I know my adrenals are a hot mess.
So after cleaning up my diet, and
juicing regularly ( wondering if that is contributing to high estrogen?, and adding hemp oil, I decided to try oil pulling. I used coconut oil because it was lighter. This morning was the 3rd day. The only thing I noticed till now was I would expel more mucous, but when I went to the bathroom this morning I expelled some candida ( white puffy stuff) and also had some ridiculously large amount of vaginal discharge(the yeasty kind). But heres the kicker. I can see clearer than I have in MONTHS! It was like a film was lifed. Which is why I can see exactly how much worse my skin has gotten :(. But If my eyes have improved so dramatically, Maybe theres hope for my skin, too. Has anyone had any luck with skin improvement? I heard that oil pulling is supposed to address hormonal imbalaces?
