Oil Pulling

I found several sites on the net referring specifically to Deepak Chopra's book Perfect Health and he recommends sesame or sunflower oil which I understand are the only ones allowed to be used in India.  However, the Austin Energy Healing Group which is where I found the information says many people are experimenting with other oils.

Try Googling it and see what you think.  The Chopra explanation is calling it massage of the mouth and/or tongue which he says has meridians similar to what is taught in acupuncture it seems.

My gums have been getting worse all of a sudden, now that I am post therapy, and I wonder if it is all the chemo.  The energy site says many things have been reported to be healed with this oil pulling.  What the heck do we have to lose?

Christy,

I actually tried it a couple of days ago and it is more difficult than it sounds, but certainly worth a try.  Since it is just oil, I don't see any reason it should interfere with chemo.  

My oncologist happens to be a personal friend of mine and she is very open minded, so was very open to anything I wanted to try to fight cancer.  In fact she approved Patrick Quillin's (Quillon, sp?) book Beating Cancer With Nutrition.  He is former VP of The Cancer Treatment Centers of America and his book shares concepts that are designed to enhance chemo, while negating the negative se's.  It is very worth your while to check.  You can Google it and read excerpts from it on line.

I have a dear friend who is an 11 year cancer survivor, who had surgery and then went holistic.  11 years certainly speaks to my heart.  I, however, trusted my gut and my oncologist in my battle and thought that chemo was best for me given my dx.  She was inspirational to me in my healing journey, and now I am trying to do the same thing for others.

May I suggest for you to just do lots of research and listen to your heart.  I knew something was wrong, but didn't know what...

Best of health to you and keep up the research, my friend.
