After both times, I got incredibly ill. Supposedly something about toxins leaving my body, but I was ill enough to never do it again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-1469976 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:09:36 +0000 Happygal 1469976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: no, 20 minutes! That seems to be the biggest hang up for people.</p> <p>Part of me wants to hear lots of "didn't work" stories so I don't find myself with a glob of oil in my mouth. . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-1469975 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:09:18 +0000 lavender 1469975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a patient do this, and being honest there wasn't much difference in her mouth. And yes it's supposed to be for 20 mins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-1469955 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:05:54 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1469955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I thought it was 20 secs? Haha I thought I'd been doing it the past few days but apparently I wasn't doing it even close to long enough!! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-1469901 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:54:49 +0000 Mamaof2 1469901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried it for awhile but you are suppose to do it for 20 mins with constant swishing - I found it impossible to do. I gave up after a few weeks - didn't really notice a difference at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-1469871 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:50:42 +0000 Happygal 1469871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping an old post b/c oil pulling is popping up everywhere recently! Anyone else tried it?</p> <p>I'd give it a shot, although I don't expect any kind of miracles past slightly improved dental health.</p> <p>Here's just a few posts about it:</p> <p><a href="http://www.designmom.com/2014/01/oil-pulling/" rel="nofollow">http://www.designmom.com/2014/01/oil-pulling/</a></p> <p><a href="http://trinaholden.com/healing-cavities-a-true-weve-done-it-story/" rel="nofollow">http://trinaholden.com/healing-cavities-a-true-weve-done-it-story/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-718581 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:43:29 +0000 boiledpnut 718581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: yes, swishing with coconut oil (or any oil really). It's supposed to remove toxins from the body. Apparently it's really good for your mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-718425 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:49:43 +0000 keiki_mama 718425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is oil pulling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-pulling#post-718418 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:45:54 +0000 Weagle 718418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!
