I just read a series of posts on FB about Oil Pulling. One of the posters claims to have gotten relief from her Fibro symptoms through Oil pulling. Has anyone had any experience with this? I have posted here a few times before, I am looking for something to help my wife Maggie, who is suffering everyday from her fibromyalgia. I know lots of you are too, but this is my love, please if anyone has any info on Oil pulling, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chuck

I have heard of this as well.I actually started doing this yesterday.I am sure it takes a while to work but I am willing to try anything.It was not as gross as I thought it would be, but it was not a real fun time holding it in my mouth for that long.

I will be interested hear about your results Heather. I have read about it on another board but can't remember what was said or which board. No surprise there. lol

I honestly don't see how this could help plus I ALWAYS am wary of things that cure a variety of illnesses. So I checked it out and found this article.

Overall. It doesn't hurt you BUT there is a type of pneumonia you can develop from inhaling minute particles of oil down into your lungs. I do know I won't be trying this.

Had to reply when I saw this because my sister sent me an email about it. I looked it up on Snopes and found this:

For those of you who are solely going on the advice of a negative website or article, don't be so quick to believe them. There will always be those that are negative about anything other than something prescribed by a doctor. Usually it is that there is no hard evidence to prove something works, so they go on that as a basis to say it doesn't work. Try the oil pulling for yourselves and commit to giving it a good try. If you have had a root canal you definitely have all kinds of bad bacteria in your system that needs to be removed. It may not be the only thing that caused your condition, but by getting it out of your system, you can start to heal. I am having great results with it. Sometimes a simple remedy is all it takes to free yourself of years of pain.
