    It's an ancient Indian method. Honestly some of you people should read up on something before commenting on how it's a fad like the Master Cleanse. :noway: And some people act like they are the top scientists or doctors in the world when responding in these kinds of threads - who makes you the health professional all of a sudden? :laugh:

    I've heard amazing things about this method. It cleared up a girl's skin that I know really well. I strongly believe in many ancient health methods. Our ancestors knew a lot more than we give them credit for.

    I read about it... it's still gross and weird.

    You don't need to swish oil around your mouth for 20 mins to remove toxins.

    Our ancestors also thought putting leaches onto a body would bleed out illness. I'll take my chances with modern medicine.

    This. And don't forget the four humors.

    I recently read about this. Can't imagine doing it for 20 minutes.

    I have not tried this. No one I know has tried this. It does not sound like it would be useful for anything.

    Having said that, everything you do is awesome. I unconditionally support all of your choices.

    I have never heard of oil pulling until today! Thank you for sharing. I googled the term and found it easy to follow. Oil pulling is sloshing a table spoon of oil for 20 minutes or more before drinking (even water) or eating anything so that all the toxins are removed from the body. It sounds interesting. I will give it a try.

    So, oil pulling isn't when you turn up to an oil rig to be the 'entertainment'?

    My main question is, do you switch from 5w30 in the winter to 10w30 in the summer, or can you just use the same weight year round? On a related note, I'm also curious as to whether I should switch to something like, Pennzoil High-Mileage Synthetic Blend as I get older?

    I am gonna guess you don't watch TLC shows, but there is a new show advertized called "Gypsy Sisters" and they use motor oil as tanning oil. Gross.

    Just think about it logically for a minute. How is swishing an oily substance around your mouth going to cleanse you? Can your body really suck all the bad stuff out of your body through your tongue in cheek howls?



    Fixed that for you :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
