Yes its for real!
No one is trying to sell anything...in fact Ive never even seen a website selling specific products to use for oil pulling (there may be one, Im not sure). The thing about oil pulling is its something anyone can do for very little cost. There is no money to be made off a scam. The first time I tried it, I had a very strong physical reaction. So it definately causes some action in the body! I havent been doing it very long but I strongly believe in its power already.

Hi,

I don't see how OP could be construed as a money-maker unless the makers of unrefined/cold-pressed/organic oils have bonded together to promulgate it to get a very small group of people (us) to buy a large variety of brands and types of oils! I'll be the first one to get annoyed if anyone markets an oil that is "designed" for oil pulling -- one of the great things about this therapy is that you can do it with the oils that are sitting in your kitchen cabinet.

I'd be interested in seeing that article -- I can't imagine a "disgruntled former oil puller"!

All that said, I know there are people who have had strong reactions to oil pulling -- uncomfortable and unpleasant ones. This forum is full of people who have had good reactions and who keep coming back to share experience, but there are certainly people who try it, don't like it/see results and who don't stick around, so our testimonials don't paint an exact picture of the results. (Although I think it is fair to say that there have been plenty of posters who have shared their negative experiences -- myself included.)

Like any alternative therapy, only the person doing it can ultimately determine efficacy. It can be an uncomfortable feeling to step into the Curezone world and try the different protocols presented here, because it forces you, not a doctor, to determine the course of action and to evaluate results. I am astonished at the power I used to cede to doctors -- I'd take medication A or medication B, not feel better, listen to some explanation and willingly try medication C -- never considering the fact that I was not feeling better, never looking at the fact that the doctor was as clueless as I was! I said in a recent post that OP has been far more effective than any of the many meds I used to take for Depression -- that alone is a huge statement -- and it has been excellent for clearing out my endlessly clogged sinuses -- also a powerful fact in my life. Imagine what would happen if everyone threw away their Celexa and their Singulair, grabbed their bottle of olive oil, and started pulling! THEN we'd surely see some debunking articles...

I think it's good to question all of these processes fully, just as it's important to read through old posts to gather information about them before you do them. A skeptic is an important member of any group, and very healthy to have around.

Hope you all have a great day,

Laura

Since I began pulling oil, I have experienced the following benefits WITHOUT exaggeration:

* increased energy
* better sense of well-being
* absolutely whiter teeth (NOT transparent like "bleached" teeth)
* fewer cravings
* diminished symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
* diminished internal toxicity

Not everyone is going to experience the same benefits that I have. Some people don't experience anything, at all. It's just food - not a magic elixir that's compounded in some castle turret, somewhere in the south of France. It's just food. If it works for some, GREAT! If it doesn't work for others, try something different. For me, it's the Rosetta Stone of better health - a starting point for greater leaps of faith.

Happy Swishing!

As the above poster stated, the results will be different for everyone. I have found better mood and softer skin, to be very general. I also cannot go a morning without it or I get very crabby. I mean, I think I was always crabby, so the improved mood is good.

If you check out this link you can see what 111 people said about results they got from OP. Some didn't notice any results in an average of 5 to 6 weeks. One felt it was a negative experience. Over 90% felt it is/was a positive experience. Main benefits seem to be better teeth, gums and skin. But this was after only about 1 to 3 months.

My own experience has been better gums, ending some long-time tooth infections and less headache pains, at least.
