Thought some of the TFers might enjoy some interviews. I just listened to the Sisson interview and found it really interesting- good interview- the interviewer really does a good job of letting the person speak- anyway here are the links to those I mentioned I am sure there are plenty more:

Thank you. I listened to the coconut podcast and learned something I had been wondering about and had yet to research (coconut milk versus coconut water). Until recently, my coconut oil had been liquid (warm climate) and I had been squirting a dropper full into my mouth every night as I got ready for bed (along with using it on my face as a moisture-sealer over my rosewater mist). Turns out, I was doing something called oil pulling instinctually. Kind of cool since it healed a gum issue I had for over a year.

Did you actually swish the oil around for 20 minutes? I've been curious to try this but I seriously don't have 20 minutes to be swishing around oil...

I cannot wait until I have time to listen some more as well. I had seen this guys site before and it seemed kinda lame, but the interview was very cool and I cannot believe all the good guests on there and I barely had time to look- It is especially cool since all these people have out books that I don't have the money to buy- so maybe this can do for now Oh, and the Sisson interview was about 40 min- not sure if they are all that long, but so you know.

Twenty minutes??? Definitely not. I didn't read/hear THAT anywhere. I just swished it around for a minute or two, I'd guess. My goal was not "oil pulling" since I had never read nor heard of it before last night. My goal was to get a good coat of oil around my mouth (after caring for my skin). Then, I'd go read and relax for awhile. It'd be at least an hour before I would brush my teeth or drink/eat, though. And sometimes, I would actually brush my teeth first (forgetting about the coconut oil) and then squirt the coconut oil in my mouth (and care for my skin), swish, and leave it all night.

ETA: I just read an entire article on oil pulling and I should revise my statement above slightly. I was doing a minor version of oil pulling NOT the full-on process. Nevertheless, the coconut oil DID resolve a gum issue I had for over a year (nearly two years, to be more accurate). After reading the article, I am going to give the real process a shot for a few days just to see how it will affect my allergies/sinus issues this time of year. Right this minute, I have an icky sinus headache that is in the very early stages where I can feel my sinuses filling up with gunk and pressure building in specific areas of my head. I'm off to "swish" with oil for 15-20 minutes. Interesting idea, eh?

Another ETA: Oh My! I put just under a tablespoon of organic virgin coconut oil in my mouth and swished away to normally soothing music. I lasted 3 minutes and had to spit most of it out. My mouth was foaming as the coconut oil volume increased exponentially with my saliva. I continued swishing for another minute when I needed to start clearing major amounts of phlegm out. I'm still expelling gunk. My eyes are expelling fluid; my sinuses are draining; my head still hurts; I'm still coughing up phlegm. I'm going to revise my plan! The 1-2 minutes never did all this, but I was also using a lot less VCO. I've read a few different ways of handling this, so I'm going to post in the Health forum for more info.
