I read the link for the oil pulling forum on curezone and was quite impressed with all of the testimonials. I had come across oil pulling before but only in relation to infection in the gums and so I did not pay much attention. I did not realize that it had other detoxing benefits. So I tried it starting the day before yesterday. Yesterday a little piece of my tooth came off or I think a piece of white filling? I had a lot of gum resection when I had my amalgams in and one of my upper incisors became very sensitive. I remember the dentist had put a small white filling up near the gums on this tooth. So maybe it was the filling - it feels a bit chipped at the top (or maybe this is how it feels when your gum resects so much that it exposes the upper part of the tooth?) I have no idea - but a little something came off. It was pretty tiny and I don't have much sensitivity as my gums have filled in a bit since amalgam removal. I will have my dentist check it in a few weeks when I go to get my final crown.

But now for the good news. My gums look great (perhaps I could have avoided that root canal long ago). Every single time I do it, my sinuses drain immediately afterwords. One time I had to stop because my sinuses started draining right away into the back of my throat so I had to spit, rinse and start again. My skin does feel softer, even my dry heels (but I will wait to judge that improvement because I was at the beach today and maybe I just had a little sand exfoliation. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/palmtrees.png" alt="" /> Most importanly I had read that it is a blood cleanser. Well I have a blood disorder which appears to be reverting back to normal since amalgam removal. One of the symptoms of it was that my veins were swollen all the time. Since detoxing mercury, my veins only swell up now and again during the day and my platelets were almost back in range again. Well yesterday for the first time since I don't when (before my illness), my veins did not swell at all. I am certain that my blood disorder is due to the mercury or perhaps candida toxins in my blood or bone marrow. Perhaps it does clean the toxins from the blood. I don't know yet. I will report back if I continue to notice a lack of swelling of the veins. That would make it worth the chip in the tooth.
