LOL already tried that one, that’s why we moved on to the other stuff. I never did do the castor oil, but baby will be here soon. Thanks!   [End]

Do you think if I pull with sunflower or safflower oil instead of my usual sesame and coconut, that I will get more of the prostaglandins? I am preganant and overdue and have been taking EPO but I don’t want this kid to hang out until I am required to be induced. Just curious what your opinion is.   [End]

Well, in June I will be up to this for about 2 years. I noticed right away...within 3 weeks, maybe 2 that my teeth were less sensitive. A few times I have slacked off and didn’t pull for a week or so, just because I forgot, or was busy doing other things in the morning when I usually pull. I started to get my sensitive teeth problem back and it is very very very painful on the gum line from brushing too hard. Started pulling again, and within a day maybe two, no problem, no sensitivity. I don’t have to pull every day to keep them feeling good, but at least 3-4 times a week. Also, my d ...

Thanks! I have been using the hemp and coconut, and I was worried it would make me sick, but I really think it is doing the opposite. I feel hungry when I get through but not sick. I hope that trend continues!!   [End]

I have just found out I am preggers, and I have been op for a little over a year. I do not intend to stop, but will switch up with oil like I have been. Right now hemp and coconut oil. Has anyone heard of an oil to stay away from while pregnant? I don’t think there would be one, but wanted to ask. Thanks for responses in advance!!   [End]

I am a flip flopper. :-) Right now my fave is sesame. I like Eden Organcic Sesame oil at tropical traditions. I am almost done with that bottle at which time I will move on to coconut for awhile. Which I also looove...but then there is the sesame. I also get my coconut from TT, I have tried Barlean’s CO, and several others, but TT seems to make me most happy. I CAN’T DECIDE!!!!   [End]

Yes, empty is empty. I believe, you guys please correct me if I am wrong, that you should wait at least an hour after drinking anything to OP. 4 hours after eating. OP for 10 months and loving it!!   [End]

I totally agree with you on (all of it) the coffee. I cut it out beginning of this year, NO caffeine. It took me awhile, as I drank coffee and coke. I cut down gradually over a couple of months time so I wouldn’t get the headaches. I don’t miss the coke...it tastes like chemicals to me now, but the coffee....like you said damn it is soooooo good!!!! (had some this morning, decaf, as a treat)   [End]

I said I would let you know how my dentist visit went...so here it is. I had my teeth ”cleaned” and checked. There was nothing, NOTHING on my teeth to clean! My hygienist asked me if I was having any problems, and I told her an honest no, and she asked if I had been using my appliance. I told her no.... I didn’t need to. (I got it for sensitivity) She said so you don’t like it ? I said no, I just haven’t had a problem with my teeth being sensitive since I discovered oil pulling. What is that she said? Never heard of it. So, of course, I told her, and she was very interested in look ...

Well, I am not going to say it is just the sesame, but sometimes I will pull and before I can get thru I am STARVING!! I usually try to pull again, but sometimes I will get sooooo hungry I will be shaky, so I must eat. I haven’t had sesame in awhile but it still happens.   [End]

Wow, that sounds like some good oil- neat properties and benefits. I don’t think I will pull with it by itself ever again. But I will mix it and do keep it in the fridge. I didn’t mind the taste so much as how thick it was. Anyway I loved all that info, thanks Molly! BTW, I actually got my hubby to pull for the first time this morning. I put some peppermint oil in some coconut oil for him and he pulled for about 15 minutes. I was so excited! He was complaining about his gums being sore and bleeding around one of his teeth, and asked what kind of stuff I had for that. SO I told him I ...

Yesterday I got some wheat germ oil and decided that I would use that for my morning pulls, since I was out of my sesame, and I wanted to switch up from coconut. Anyway, got some this morning and started pulling and oh my, is that some thick stuff. Thick. So I am working really hard on this oil, since it is really thick and it just gets thicker and thicker and I am thinking, okaaaay. Then it all of a sudden started to thin out, and I thought okay now this is about done. So I pulled a minute or two longer and it went REALLY THICK. I couldn’t pull it anymore, and so I went to spit it o ...

Wow! that is awesome news. I have been told that I would have to eventually have one on one of my molars, and around April I will find out if this has all been worth it. I really don’t have any doubts, as my gums and teeth look absolutely fab. :-) The gum area around that tooth is no longer sore either. Congratulations on your great report!!!! I love hearing that!   [End]

I began oil pulling to see if I could correct a problem in a tooth I was told would have to have a root canal. I was having trouble with it(hurt when I bit down on anything but pudding and soup) after having a amalgrams replaced, and that particular one was really deep...some familiarity here. Anyway, I began to notice after about a week that my very sensitive teeth were not really so sensitive anymore, and that one tooth was the only one hanging on with being sensitive. After about 3 weeks, it was not sensitive anymore. I notice I am still careful about worrying about sensitivity, bec ...

I have been OP since mid June and I have never had scrubby hands, but they are also definitely super soft, like you said, childlike soft. I have had a definite improvement in the tooth that I was supposed to eventually have a root canal on...it is hardly sore at all, and my tooth sensitivity overall is gone. It was bad. So I can’t wait to see what it will all be like after 6 months, 1 year, 2 years.   [End]

If I get too much going in there and I want to continue pulling with what I have, I just spit a little out and keep going. Sometimes I do get too much bc it is hard to tell with just a regular teaspoon and hard coconut oil what amount you are getting.   [End]

I don’t intend to either, I love not having sensitive teeth. I had the dentist tell me I was to have a root canal (NOT) eventually on one of my molars, and I tried eating something hard on it today, and it wasn’t sensitive- so I am really excited about that too!!!   [End]

I did make some pork loin and put some under it in the oven to keep it from sticking to the pan, but just maybe a tbsp. I am feeling much better today. Bloating is gone and pain gone. I have some jitters too, like I would like to leap out of my skin, double espresso kind. I don’t do caffeine any more, so if I drink tea or coffee, which is rarely, I have to get decaf or I get that feeling. I used CO and a little bit of flax this morning. No palm. I got some Capra mineral whey... do you think that would have caused that to happen? I only took 1 tbsp in some juice 3x so far, one each day ...

I used the palm oil again this morning with some coconut. I again had intestinal distress, bloating, pain, some D. I am not sure if that is what caused it, but I think so. I did not take the candidase today. In fact, I haven’t had any since the other day when I had the stomach problem. I did take some colloidial silver last night. I thought I saw some black spots in my stool, and my left side is on and off aching like... I don’t know, it is strange. Not sharp, but bothersome. Not constant. Has anyone had any kind of detox like this or did I get a stomach virus?   [End]

Has anyone tried pulling with Red Palm Oil? I got some from Tropical Traditions, and I am not crazy about the taste, haven’t cooked with it yet... but this morning in my pull I put a little mixture together. I got 1/2 coconut 1/4 palm and 1/4 flax. I also got a mild cleanout just awhile ago, and I wonder if that had anything to do with it, or was it the Candidase I started yesterday. I only took 1 and it said take 2. I wasn’t sure what it might do, so I only took the one. Anyway, I didn’t mind the palm oil in my pull so much as long as I don’t get any air bubbles in there. Then I can ...

And this week I have noticed that I have some bleeding gums and sensitivity in my teeth a little this morning. I think and correct me if you think I am wrong, mighty gurus, that this is more crap being extracted? It is definitely not something that is normal for my gums to bleed. I am a once a day flosser without fail...it is like as important a part of brushing my teeth as soap is to washing. So anyway, I did on my third week have a swollen gland on my right side under my tongue, and then mouth sores. Those went away, and now some irritation in the gums. So I pulled 3x with sesame this ...
