Hi "pain buddies"

This natural remedy was brought to my attention by a user on another forum and i just wondered if anyone else has heard or tried it.

Apparently every morning on an empty stomach you swill a mouthful of refined oil round your mouth for 20 mins and it brings out all the toxins in the body.

Apparently it can help diseases of internal organs,nerve problems,arthritis,cancer etc......

I "googled" it and it sounds real strange.

Hope everyone has a relatively pain free day! :)

    Well Heather, I heard of and tried my remedies over the years but this new to me. :shock:

    I shan't be trying it. :lol:

    Just the thought of swilling any oil round my mouth first thing in the morning is enough to turn my stomach - I'll opt for a nice cup of rosy lee thank you. :D

    Tell me what do you do with the oil after a swill, swallow it, spit it out or cook chips in it - YUK ! :(

    Let me know if you try it I'd love to know how you go on :wink:

    Luv Legs who has cynical hat on for this one :lol:
    Love, Legs x

    Love Sue

    One that I have tried is Knotgrass which is supposedly good for arthur and inflammation it is a weed in temperate countries and is known to contain sillica and is meant to imporove elasticity of joints and works as an anti inflamm agent by helping the body elimniate toxins :?: :?: :?:

    "Just another (oil swilling) one for the gullible.

    Most illnesses could be totally cured by this simple method and it was unnecessary, to use surgery or all kinds of medicines with their so much harmful side effects.

    The Oil-therapy heals totally headaches, bronchitis, tooth pain, thrombosis, eczema, ulcers, intestinal diseases, heart and kidney diseases, encephalitis and woman’s diseases. Preventively the growth of malignant tumors is cut and healed. Chronic blood diseases, paralysis, diseases of nerves, stomach, lungs and liver and sleeplessness are cured.

    Man lives only half the time which he could live. He could become 140 or 150 years old.

    Acute diseases will be cured very quick in two to four days. Chronic diseases normally need more time, sometimes even one-year".
