Yep, cured my acne with it after 25 years. Throwed everything but the kitchen sink at my acne, and oil pulling cured it. In 6 months. Still continuing because one of the stuff I threw at acne gave me Crohn's disease (Accutane) and trying to see if it will cure me or improve my condition. It also cleans your mouth and clears your sinuses. Oh and I no longer have joint pains either.


Try drinking 4 liters of laxative fluid, that IS gross. This is the easiest thing I ever did that seriously improved my health. Curing a 25 year old chronic thing qualifies as a SERIOUS improvement.


From what I read most oils will give some beneficial effects, even coconut oil (melts in your mouth lol), but sunflower and sesame oil are supposed to give the best results.


I do 40 minutes easily. Three days ago I did a full hour.I'm doing it while typing this. It's easy.


Explanation: the toxins in your skin mimic the effect of those PMS hormones..so if you get them both at the same time you get acne during PMS. Once the toxins are removed, your skin only has to deal with your own hormones, and you don't break out as much (if at all). You don't have to believe me, just look into the mirror. Question: did you grow up near a major industrial facility that spewed out lots of pollution? I'm trying to pinpoint the exact chemicals.


Nobody knows EXACTLY how this works, because you can't make a profit on research on it. So it isn't researched. It IS being debunked massively though, probably because it cuts into other people's profits if you do try it.

Basic method of operation: removes fat-soluble toxins from bloodstream by creating the biggest fat reservoir inside your body (the oil in your mouth) with almost NO toxin content. Through simple diffusion the toxins will go from your blood, which is mostly water, to the oil, which is mostly fat (with an increasing amount of toxins while you swish it).

(15 minutes into the OP now..)

Lowering the level of toxins in your blood results in toxins being released from all organs into the bloodstream, which results in a lower overall level of toxins in your body...ergo: detoxing.

This also explains why OP can give increased symptoms after a few weeks: not all toxins are created equal and not all of them are stored equally over your body. Toxins kept in your liver for example, that were harmless there, will be released and travel throughout the body where they might be reabsorbed by some organ that can't handle them, and you get symptoms. Obvious ones: joint pains, eczema, acne.
The trick is to keep detoxing, so you keep removing the newly released toxins.

Beware: there are some OP debunkers that claim you can't possibly detox fat-soluble toxins because they are stored in fatty tissues. One obvious one is this site:

FYI: that person lacks basic biological knowledge. Try researching DDT. It's about diffusion and osmosis.

Debunkers usually ARE clueless, it's just that their intolerance is the most obvious personality defect.


No need. I still have my fillings, and it cured my acne nonetheless.


I actually know this Morrocan girl who says her Berber grandmother in the Morrocan mountains already used OP for whitening of teeth. It's ancient and works.


I think just detoxing and resolving vitamin deficiencies will remove an incredible amount of overweight, but that's just my informed opinion.


Hardly....then you've never had REALLY alternative treatments. LOL.

One of the few scientific publications ever done on OP actually does put this forward as a MOO for dental health improvement. Because it is now also known that bad mouth health can lead to heart infections, OP is also good for your heart.

One last thing about coconut oil: if you spit it out in the sink it might become solid again and clog up your sink. Better to spit it out somewhere more safe.
