I tried the oil pulling once, long enough to realize that the unpleasant nature of it was still a bit much to overcome. I had a hard time not gagging when I did it. Still, I was already planning on using this after the surgery, whenever that may be.

I browsed the website for a while getting an idea of what was up with this, according to this guy it pulls things out of your mouth like heavy metals, bacteria, all sorts of nasties get drawn into the oil and at the end you spit it all out. Don't know how effective this is, but people there seem to swear by it.
