Oil Pulling

Interesting, they are correct about cleaning the sink as you are basically using the oil to trap bacteria and then expelling it, plant oils also can turn rancid/.

For me, I've begun honey and vinegar, just liquify the honey in the microwave in a coffee cup, put a shot of white or apple cider vinegar in with it add water, and down it.

As a weight loss supplement, apple cider vinegar and honey is effective mainly because the cider vinegar works by breaking down fat and reduces the amount of toxins stored in the body, which contributes to a natural reduction in overall weight.

Honey is generally sweeter than sugar meaning you eat far less so consume few calories and is a remarkable source of nutrition.

Many people use these excellent ingredients together very successfully to improve their health.

It is important for everyone to understand just how powerful ACV and honey are as an excellent combination of health foods. Just take a look at this list to see the effects you too can experience by eating or drinking apple cider and honey:
It helps to support a healthy complexion

Treats sinus infections

It is commonly used to relieve sore throats

Helps to relieve constipation

Helpful in lowering high cholesterol

Helpful in restoring high blood pressure to normal levels

Can be used as a common flu treatment

Helps relieve the symptoms of arthritis and even painful gout

Helpful in treating the symptoms of chronic fatigue
Restores proper pH balance (which guards against disease)

Helps relieve acid reflux

Can be an effective treatment for dermatitis

Helps Upper-respiratory infections

Useful for Suppressing coughs

Helpful in Wound treatments

Superb for increasing antioxidant levels

Helpful in decreasing anxiety

This wonderful concoction should ideally not be over used, the recommended apple cider vinegar dosage is two tablespoons each day mixed with around a liter of water.

Add two to five teaspoons of honey to suit your taste, this is all you will need each day.

The one caveat is, do not mix it with that much water as the vinegar is very alkaline and could harm tooth enamel, so just down it like a shot of whiskey, which btw if one is used to taking shots of booze, you sort of get the same effect going down the hatch, a mild warm sensation all the way down...fun stuff.

I've heard that does a lot for you as well. Esp the throat as you said.

This is a little different though seeing as you're swishing it around for 20 mins and then spitting all the garbage out. Idk if I said it in the beginning but DO NOT SWALLOW it.

That's what she said.

Aright just did my first 20 mins.

My initial observation is that my mouth feels dry and clean like I just went to the dentist.

Supposedly, you see more benefits over time but for only doing this once, it does seem promising so far.

Funny thing about those oils, for example "omega 3"..uhm..cod liver oil is dirt cheap, same stuff...

I'll give the oil method stuff a try

Just make sure you get the organic ones they suggest from the website. Certain oils aren't as effective apparently.

Fish Oil is supposed to be really good for you too. I just started taking 3k milligrams a day. My dog is taking 1k :lol:

Thing is though, cod liver oil is just massively inexpensive, the pill form of fish oil costs 3x more

Olive oil...in 5 minutes!...

Not really. I just got a 400 count container of 1k mgs for $14.

The pill form is just easier and also a little safer, imo.

Always oil up before pulling yourself.

You guys should be careful about the marketing hype. While there's no arguing that honey has medical benefits, that laundry list of benefits is obviously partially contrived.

- Honey does not "treat flu or sinus infections". It's much more likely it has an effect on symptoms and while your natural immune system clears out the virus or bacteria, there's a placebo effect where you think the honey is doing wonders.

- However, at least with honey, you can make the argument that there are ingredients that can actually become bioavailable for treating multiple maladies. With vinegar, not so much. While vinegar can have beneficial effects on areas within your mouth and throat, once it hits your stomach it hits an environment that is approximately 10 times more acidic than vinegar, the effect is mostly wiped out instantly. Vinegar is made up mostly of water with a little acetic acid. when it hits your gut, you get an initial spike of acetate in your system that only lasts a few (10-15) minutes before you end up peeing it all out. And I can tell you from an experience of many years in the infectious diseases area, you can not get a beneficial effect from something that shows such limited systemic exposure.

Aright it's been a week and I have to say I'm impressed so far.

Like I said initially, my mouth feels a lot more dry and clean, my teeth look a shade whiter, and I've noticed that this gets rid of a lot of the **** that'll build up on your tongue.

Def keeping it going.

Interesting. I`m seriously considering it.

Hmm, it is interesting that you say that OF, my experience has been it handles sore throats fairly well, and tbh, I've dropped some stubborn "stick point" weight, that could be for a number of reasons, however I do suspect the apple cidar vinegar has helped.

As for the oil pulling, for me, that was a no go as the oil sort of made me wretch, would not dissuade anyone about trying it, will say this is not exactly scope you are swishing around your mouth, it is quite thick and viscous.

lol Jets fans wouldn't be able to spell either one.

You want the oil to eventually become viScous, when it gets like that you know it's worked.

Still trying this Slick?

I've stuck with the vinegar and honey and got down to 202 pds

Def. I'll be staying with it for at least 6 months. Still seems like it's working.

Over time it's supposed to reduce sensitivity and regenerate gums so I'll be looking for that.

A few years ago I noticed my super healthy Grandpa doing this with coconut oil. He didn't call it Oil Pulling, but he said if I swished coconut oil in my mouth for 30 minutes and spit it out I would be healthy.

I gave it a try and I had the same experience as you did. The coconut oil almost made me throw up, and the thought of putting it in my mouth makes me feel nauseous.

It could be the fact that it works so good that all of the toxins it pulls out is too much for my mouth at once.

30 minutes, jeez! how about like 5?
