There's a new remedy going around the net, Oil Pulling. Actually, it's ancient, but it's new to us all now. It seems to be all the craze right now. I keep asking people and no one seems to have an answer. I don't know if you are familiar at all with the concept, so forgive me if I give too much info.
But what it is, is you put about a tablespoon of sunflower (or other) oil in your mouth and swish it around for twenty minutes. It is supposed to pull out heavy metals and toxins in the mouth and from the vein under the tongue... My question is, IF the oil can pull out metals and toxins, can it pull out fat soluble neccessities in the blood TOO? Like our vitamins A, D, E, and K?
This remedy mostly just gives people improved oral hygeine. But it claims to cure a lot of things too...
I have a Vit D deficiency, from avoiding the sun. But since I started posting places about my teeth demineralizing, I have been told too many times that I need to Oil Pull. Well, I am afraid to do that until I know it can't take away my fat soluble necessities. Also, since demineralization is already an issue for me I am concerned about the fact that Oil Pulling is acidic. That's why they tell you to rinse with salt water and avoid brushing for a while after spitting out the oil...
So, does anyone here have any ideas regarding this? I can't get anywhere with the people doing it. They just want to defend it, like I'm attacking it. I am not. I am just being causious...
Thanks.
