So, I've been oil pulling for a couple months now, with a week or so here and there without it while I was gone.
My teeth do in fact look whiter. They were becoming so yellow it was kind of gross. I looked at them this morning and had to admit, they really weren't that gross yellow anymore.
My teeth feel so much cleaner! They are so smooth, like they would feel after being polished at the dentist. This feeling lasts all day.
Someone here said it can stop a cold. I don't always catch my kids colds anyway, but they have had two colds now that I have not.
It seems like some tooth pain I was having is better, but I don't know for sure that the OP did it. I've never had any gum trouble, so I can't comment on that.
Okay, this is really gross, but yesterday, for the fun of it, I spit out the water I was rinsing my mouth with after OPing into a glass cup to look at it. There were little bits of crud in it! This was first thing in the morning, I had brushed my teeth, but not eaten anything. Ew! So I spit that out and rinsed again, swish swish, spit it into the cup and it looked the same. Cloudy with little cruddies. Not a lot, maybe 4 or 5 in a mouthful. That is enough to keep me going for a long time! I did not study the oil I spit out, that's just too gross, but if the water is that bad, I can't imagine what the oil would be like. But that's also just the visable cruddies! eeeew.
Anyone else have some experience? It doesn't seem like many people here are talking about it, but I'd sure like to hear some testimonies.
btw, I use coconut oil.

I don't hear about any alternative healing elsewhere. I was just reading anything I could about curing acute sinus infections, and this came up. I use CO anyway quite often. I'm going to try it. I'm nursing my toddler, and I just started antibiotics. I've had this infection for weeks, and likely (he thinks, based on CT scan) even longer. Like years. Can I still do this with antibiotics? Anyway I did read that it clears the sinuses, so that would explain the mucus. Which I knew about this sooner.
