smitho, I've been trying Oil Pulling also-- after reading about it in Curezone. I use unrefined grapeseed oil.

I don't do it for the 20 minutes they say- but about 10-15 minutes is all I can take. I notice that extra mucous tends to come out of my throat when doing this oil pulling-- and I also am getting compliments on the whiteness of my teeth.

Also- I normally would get acne blemishes on my chin, cheek area during PMS- because of the hormone changes, but these 2 months I"ve been oil pulling, I am not breaking out whatsoever!

I tried oil pulling when I still had metal fillings in my mouth once, and I stopped quickly because I started getting small dark grey blemishes all around my chin , lip area. I think this could have been the oil pulling out mercury deposits.

I was afraid to start oil pulling again because of that, but
since having all my fillings out-- I havnt gotten these blemishes at all now.

Also, the oil in my mouth really seems to be lubricating and enhancing my gums. My gums were bad before I had my fillings removed- but rebounded afterwards- and now they are even more healthier it seems!
