Oil pulling is not the same as ingesting coconut oil. You may absorb a little but you will never get me to believe that coconut oil has done this to you! I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (had symptoms for years) which kept getting worse, diarrhea, severe anxiety, so hard to catch my breath... Years ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism...I have been ingesting 8 tablespoons a day and my normal heart rate of 98 has gone down to 64 and my energy is coming back. The anxiety has gone and I AM THRILLED!!! My strength is coming back!!! I have energy! PRAISE THE NAME OF JESUS for leading me to this miracle!!! God has also led me to eat a paleo diet and do a little cruciferous vegetable juicing but it wasn't until I began taking the coconut oil that it has made SOO much difference!!!
