PULLING OIL ... ?


HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THAT EXPRESSION? WELL, to be frank, I hadn't either ... until yesterday when a friend forwarded me an email about it. Sounds like you've got to go prospecting for oil and may strike it rich, eh!


Having said that, you just might! Oil pulling is a cheap, easy and apparently very effective way to good health and don't worry, I'm not talking pyramid selling or network marketing - save me from that please!


It's very simple: every morning, put a tea or tablespoonful of oil (cold pressed preferably, and probably healthy oil ie coconut or sunflower - olive smells a bit overpowering) and then swill it (as opposed to gargle) round your mouth for 20 mins. The oil gradually mixes with your saliva and it's supposed to DRAW TOXINS and KILL BACTERIA, thus healing your body. This should be done once a day, but can be done 3 times if desired. If your muscles tire then you're doing it too vigorously. After that spit out into the toilet and rinse mouth or brush your teeth. That's all there is to it!


According to Dr Karach who writes in the website http://www.oilpulling.com/ it can cure many illnesses and return the body to health. A trawl of the internet shows many testimonials, both for and against.


Apparently humans are only living to half their potential lifespan when we could be going to 140 or 150 years old! Not sure I want to do that, but am prepared to settle for a mere 80 or thereabouts, so am going to give it a go - I tried it this morning and can't say I've noticed much difference which isn't surprising as one is supposed to do this for a few weeks before noticing any difference, but will keep you posted. If nothing else the exercise should help to tone up sagging facial muscles!!
