I figured it was worth a try, and if it didn't work, then I'd go to the doctor and take whatever was perscribed to me. The first day that I tried, my headaches went away. My sinus infection is gone, and I haven't done anything differently other than the oil pulling. My skin looks a lot better and my teeth are stronger. I don't know about it being a "cure-all" for disease, but I do know that it has helped me out. It's worth a try considering it's only $5 for a bottle of sesame oil (that you can cook with if the pulling doesn't work). With all of the money spent on drugs and supplements, $5 doesn't seem so bad. I decided to try oil pulling instead of taking antibiotics to get rid of a sinus infection.

The whole toxins thing sound bogus, but just cleaning your gums seems possible.

If you delete that "/" the page will load correctly. Sorry, not trying to be a nitpicker! Thanks for changing it, Sara. :)

Still, thanks for the info, I hadn't even heard of it before. Yeah, I’m thinking the “oilpulling.com” link was pasted twice by accident because both links are the same, there’s no expose link.

I am confused and curious. The “expose” on oil pulling seems to link to a pro-oil pulling site? I am confused and curious.
