Posters at curezone are often heard to say "I don't feel anything" or "I don't see anything".

I've been trying alternative protocols for some time now. And I've read hundreds of posts where someone stopped the protocol after a fairly short amount of time because there was no physical proof.

Because there are no scientific studies on most everything we do, all we can go by is testimonials of other posters. We know that some things are vital for us like certain minerals and vitamins, essential fatty acids, anti-inflammatories, etc, and these essentials are backed by some scientific study. But instead of using the pharmaceutical equivalent we find the alternative therapy.

Oil Pulling has hundreds, perhaps thousands of testimonials all over the internet. And our only basis for realizing it's benefits are from the people that do go to dentists, and the hygienists that are simply astonished at the health of our gums. To keep our teeth, we need healthy gums, period. And that is what OP does. I've had my theories about EFA delivery and bacteria ingestion. I think I'm right about these also. It's not about the teeth whitening, as that can be a benefit. It's about what you don't see. It's about what your dentist or hygienist says to you during an appointment. The effects may be negligible, but that does not mean they are not founded.

Just like parasite cleanses. Because you don't see worms in the toilet does not mean that you are not killing parasites. Just like taking probiotics, you don't necessarily see a difference, but you know that it is necessary to you health. Just like a liver flush, you may not see stones, but you know you are cleansing your gallbladder.

You cannot do a protocol for a short amount of time and announce that it does not work. Alternatives take time. It's a lifestyle change. And OP is no different. OP should be like brushing your teeth. It should be a daily routine of oral health.

If you read about a protocol, and you believe that this protocol makes sense, then it should be done for the entire prescribed time, or as a daily adjunct to your healthy lifestyle. It's the reason we don't subscribe to the immediate effects of western medicine. We have to be patient and we have to be committed.

This post is not singling out any poster. I'm simply commenting on the years I've spent at this website and my observations.
