Oil pulling?

I used it daily when I was treating a reinfection with Lyme only last year. For me it really did help lower my toxin loads, so it made me feel better. Like other forms of detoxing, it needs to be done daily.

It has the potential to make a person herx slightly because coconut oil is anti bacterial, anti viral and a few other things, but it shouldn't be much and it shouldn't last long at all.

Great! Let us know what you think after you have used it for a bit!

Take 1 - 2 tsp and swish (pulling it in between the teeth as well) for 10 - 20 minutes.

Great information!!! Thank you!

I just remembered I needed to start doing this. I warmed it to liquid (I'd had in it the fridge) and only took about 2 tsp. because it felt like I was drinking melted lip gloss and was afraid I'd gag and swallow it, lol.

I didn't make it the required 10-20 minutes, more like 5 minutes. I was producing a lot of saliva and it needed to go!

A few minutes later I did feel a bit of a reaction like an effort to support my arms unaided, and my ear ringing has increased to a much higher pitch.
I would swear its just a subconscious anxiety reaction except for the ear ringing.

How do you detox from a detox? lol. Might be a rhetorical question.

No effect on herxing, but it helped me with the gum health a lot. My hygienist was really impressed.

I Imagine it depends on the spirochete load, it wasn't much and it could have been all in my head. That happens sometimes, even when I'm not feeling anxious.

The worse thing was it hitting my lips first and giving me the sensation I was 'drinking' fat or something, lol.

I didn't drink it, actually, but that oiliness is going to take getting used to.

I also oil pull nearly every day. I add in a couple drops of tea tree essential oil sometimes, and sometimes I mix in tumeric and peppermint oil. It is really helping my gums where I guess Lyme & Co must be having a hayday. I had lost the ability to chew on one side, and now it is nearly back to normal. Adding tea tree oil was the difference as I've been straight oil pulling for nearly 2 years now.

I do 1.5 tablespoon with drop of Clove essential Oil. I usually only do five minutes. No herxing but have been doing in a while. I rinse with peroxide/water/oral rinse by Supreme Nutrition - you spit that out as well.
