Yes, I have practiced oil pulling with unrefined coconut oil. Pulling has always seemed to helped a tooth that I have problems with if I hit the sweets too much. I would really like to know if oil pulling also extracts mercury out of mercury filling. I think I would make if a habit if I new for certain that oil pulling wasn't extracting mercury out of my filings.

Yes, the gag thing is tough, especially at first. I found that I got over it more and more over time, though.

No worries, I'm not offended. It is always a good idea to consider the spiritual background of where things come from in evaluating whether a practice is acceptable as a Christian or not. I'm looking at this more on the basis of the actual practice (as you said, rinsing the mouth), and haven't looked much into any other importance or meaning behind the practice, but certainly worth considering and I'm glad you brought it up. Thanks! :)

Do not get me wrong, to rinse the mouth first thing in a morning is always a good idea. To use a good oil for it might be a very good practice too (I think I have heard of it before), I am just questioning the background of it and the 15 to 20 minutes. I feel like I should clarify this, I did not want to offend anyone, sorry.

I have been doing oil pulling with EVCO for about 3-4 months now. It was so difficult at first to keep it in my mouth without heaving and gagging. It definitely took some dedication and commitment on my end to keep trying. Now, I can happily report that it doesn't bother me one bit to pop it in my mouth and "swish" it around for 15-20 minutes. I just went to the dentist for the first time last week since I began the treatment. Wow!! My dentist couldn't say enough good things about my teeth and gums. I have NEVER received a two thumbs up review at an appointment in my entire adult life. I've always had "genetically awful" teeth...or so I thought. Apparently, I just needed to find oil pulling to get my gums and teeth in better shape....naturally. I recommend it to everyone I know. It has been "life changing" for me in the world of dental. Very happy with it!

I have made this toothpaste and also use it as a deodorant! It works fantastically for both. 4 parts baking soda and 3 parts coconut oil is all! Amazing!

Hi All - My husband and I have been coconut pulling for about 6 months now, and several things have happened: 1) our teeth are whiter, 2) our allergies are MUCH milder on the days we actually do the pulls, 3) The dentist is in love with our gums, 4) my ears don't itch (allergies) like they used to, and 5) my husband, who cannot smell anything that doesn't knock him over, can smell nice, light scents now. All in all it has been wonderful for us.
