"Most of the long-timers learned through trial and error and post their experiences so that those of us who are new to this whole idea of taking control of our own health will be successful rather than a disappointment."
"Their" experiences, may not be identical to "yours". Please be sure to share your experiences so that we may all move forward and learn.
FYI... "Long" timers here, for the most part, are still short timers IMHO. This forum is, in many respects, pioneering, which is what makes it so exciting.
Edit - I was unaware of the cross post with the OIl Pulling Forum.
