Well, okay. I do oil pulling for the health benefits as well--and it really has helped. I have some terrible tooth pain and I'm hoping to avoid a root canal. Oil pulling helps immensely. It also has the awesome side effect (happy surprise!) of making my teeth whiter, and helping my smelly breath- which I've had a problem with for years. Yay.
My children are obsessing over health at the moment, probably because their mom does it. And they are still at the stage where they want to be just like me :). As I have worked on this tooth, Olie and Demetri have given up or minimized refined sugar with me, passed up pasta and other yummy things for dinner to have just a big salad, and most recently, started doing oil pulling with me. Today I set the timer for 15 minutes (none of them have actually made it that long until today), and handed out the spoonfuls of oil (I know, bleck!). Teddy sauntered up to me and bravely asked if he could try too (for the first time). With Shawn at work, a very asleep baby, and a usually quiet 2 yr old (unless riled up by big brothers), do you know what I had for 15 solid minutes? Silence. 15 minutes of total and complete silence. In my house. It was glorious. We should definitely do this every day. But I imagine the novelty will wear off fairly quickly. Still, one can dream.
