My boyfriend and I have pulling for just over a week ("the family that pulls together stays together!"). We were doing sesame but I wondered just what coconut oil would do as I've previously had strong reactions to ingesting it. I tried yesterday and today. This morning, after just two pulls with the coconut, I was woken up by what appeared to be some sort of stomach virus complete with diarrhea. My nose has been draining like crazy, so much so that I've had to cover my mouth with a tissue to sneeze and hack during the pull. I've coughed up hard orange mucous, broken out a little, and I have bizarre, hive-like bumps on my arm. I think the sesame makes my sinuses feel "cleaner" but I have to say, this little coconut oil detox is very promising and exciting. And I was almost blinded by the whiteness of my teeth in the bright lights at work! Just wanted to share with you guys-- part of what made me decide to start pulling was the very welcoming, non-judgemental nature of this entire forum. Oil pullers rule.
