oil pulling???

Okay I was reading in another post ( i forget which one ) where someone mentioned oil pulling?   I looked this up.  Who has had results with this?  And does it half to be oil?  From what I read, its basically just clensing the mouth of bacteria so it doesn't get into your digestive system?  And if that is the case, wouldn't plain ole listerine used the same way work just as well as oil?  Any thoughts from those of you who have tried this or researched this?

not sure but I have always heard that the human bite is the worst bite due to the bacteria....? Dog bites are supposedly safer than a bite from another human. This was just something mentioned on here and I kinda wanted more info and clarification.

I have had results. I oil pull with sunflower oil daily. I should do it 3 x daily, working up to it. But. Huge chunks of plaque came off my teeth, and my gum pockets are filling, and it gets rid of bacteria in your body. My teeth are now pearly white due to oil pulling. No plaque aka bacteria. But here is the deal. when I brush after oil pulling, I get brown stuff in the sink. If I brush without oil pulling, the sink is just full of white stuff. Oil pulling gets out the bacteria! www.oilpulling.com It cures a lot of stuff! and do check the coconutoildiet.com Just for fun. That coconut oil is a good thing also.

I saw it too and I went to the website and read about it. Doesn't sound like something I could stomach. I do cook with EVO and I use coconut oil in smoothies sometimes but I haven't noticed any improvement from using coconut oil.

But the basic idea behind oil pullling...... wouldn't a normal rinse of listerine work as well????

So nobody has tried it "long term" to see if it does anything for their IBD?
