I've oil pulled with a few drops of LugolsIodine it it. I do it occasionally. I think you get better cleansing when it's on an empty stomach. The body expends alot of energy on digestion. So you don't want that energy to be going to digesting when it can go to cleansing IMO. Many oilpull a couple or a few times in the morning, one after another. I tried this the last few mornings with coconut oil and I had a lot more energy and it seemed to clean me out better. I'm achieving quicker results this way, so I'm excited and will continue to do this for a while.
