Oil Pulling

[DeSerTDesTroYeR]

This is very interesting and might be worth the try if it is truly what it claims!


Dr. (med.) Karach said the OP heals totally “head-aches, bronchitis, tooth pain, thrombosis, eczema, ulcers and diseases of stomach, intestines, heart, blood, kidney, liver, lungs and women’s diseases. It heals diseases of nerves, paralysis, and encephalitis. It prevents the growth of malignant tumors, cuts and heals them. Chronic sleeplessness is cured.”

Method:


In the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach you take one tablespoon in the mouth but do not swallow it. Move Oil Slowly in the mouth as rinsing or swishing and Dr Karach puts it as ' sip, suck and pull through the teeth' for fifteen to twenty minutes. This process makes oil thoroughly mixed with saliva. Swishing activates the enzymes and the enzymes draw toxins out of the blood. The oil must not be swallowed, for it has become toxic. As the process continues, the oil gets thinner and white. If the oil is still yellow, it has not been pulled long enough.It is then spit from the mouth , the oral cavity must be thoroughly rinsed and mouth must be washed thoroughly. Just use normal tap water and good old fingers to clean.

- Doctors: Is this for real?
- Why hasn't this been mentioned or used before in a larger scale if it is truly beneficial?
- Any more information or opinions about this?

Thanks for this unique form of therapy, though it says that surveys have been conducted & major ailments have been cured (check this LINK (http://www.oilpulling.com/users.htm)), I personally do not believe oil pulling can cure any disease whether minor or serious

Unless a major double blinded study is conducted that proves otherwise

Just another myth just as the water therapy

And apart from that, it must be truly and completely dis-gus-ting!:yuk:

Why do you consider it a myth even if it wasn't proven ineffective? Any medical reason behind that or just a personal opinion?

[NaBHaN]

Do you believe that it could be effective DD and would you ever try it out?

[DeSerTDesTroYeR]

I believe in the facts. This site stats facts. Now how reliable are these facts requires a good export in the field to analysis it and make a conclusion. And so I am asking the doctors on board and will listen to the possibilities they could mention or conclude.

Do I believe? Yes, why not.
Would I try it? If I was satisfied with the facts then sure will try it out.

Personal & medical reasons

If this method could cure any illness they would have conducted trials & published them in medical journals & millions would have got cured for relatively no cost since this does not include any expensive materials

Also a website stating it's own surveys does not make it reliable

Might be another money making scam out of sick people

[Thalia]

Another case of the placebo effect and mind healing?

[DeSerTDesTroYeR]

Hitman: I didn't catch where they mention that it cured everything. If they say that then I would totally agree on your point. Can you tell me where that is mentioned?

[HITMAN]

DD: I didn't say that they claimed to cure everything, when I mentioned the word "any" I meant any illness out of thousands

I believe in alternative therapies but only when they are evidence based & trials have been conducted & published to back them up

[DeSerTDesTroYeR]

So there isn't anything of such backing up this one? How can we research for it medically to be sure??

[HITMAN]

DD, the good things about such therapies are that if they don't do any good, they won't do in any harm either, thus no side effects in using them

Such alternative therapies have to be studied & patients' results must be published in reliable journals so they can be trusted

[DeSerTDesTroYeR]

Hitman: I understand that. So I am asking if any of such exist.

[HITMAN]

No studies nor trials exist about this therapy, thus it's not a reliable mode of alternative therapy
