Product Description

If you have bad breath, bleeding gums, cavities, or tooth pain--you need this book! If you suffer from asthma, diabetes, arthritis, migraine headaches, or any chronic illness, and have not found relief, this book could have the solution you need. All disease starts in the mouth! As incredible as it may seem, most of the chronic and infectious illnesses that trouble our society today are influenced by the health of our mouths. Our mouths are a reflection of the health inside our bodies. If you have poor dental health, you are bound to have other health problems. Despite regular brushing and flossing, 98 percent of the population has some degree of gum disease or tooth decay. Most people aren't even aware they have existing dental problems. Recent research has demonstrated a direct link beetween oral health and chronic illness. Simply improving the health of your teeth and gums can cure many chronic problems. More brushing, flossing, and mouthwash won't solve the problem. What will work is Oil Pulling Therapy. Oil pulling is an age-old method of oral cleansing originating from Ayurvedic medicine. It is one of the most powerful, most effective methods of detoxification and healing in natural medicine. Dr. Fife's Oil Pulling Therapy is a revolutionary new treatment combining the wisdom of Ayurvedic medicine with modern science. The science behind oil pulling is fully documented with references to medical studies and case histories. Although incredibly powerful, Oil Pulling Therapy is completely safe and simple enough for even a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Swish" Your Way to GREAT Health, August 21, 2008

By	Nutrition Man (Florham Park, NJ) - See all my reviews

Dr. Fife never ceases to amaze!

Each health book he writes just gets better and better.

And "Oil Pulling Therapy" is no exception.

You will learn how something as simple as swishing vegetable oil in your mouth for 20 minutes, 1-3 times a day can DRAMATICALLY improve your health in ways you cannot imagine.

If you suffer from arthritis or any other chronic pain condition, asthma, allergies, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, dental ailments, etc., that have not been significantly improved by other methods, "Oil Pulling" may indeed be the miracle you've been looking for!

Dr. Fife's premise that "all disease starts in the mouth" is backed up with tons of scientific facts - and how vegetable oil can literally "suck" disease-causing bacteria, germs, fungus, chemicals and other toxins out of your body. This in turn allows your immune system to operate at or near maximum capacity, thus healing your body of any number of potential illnesses by itself.

The testimonials from many people show you just how "miraculous" Oil Pulling Therapy can be.

One of the best things of all is that there are NO harmful side effects from Oil Pulling Therapy, as you do not swallow the oil. It can be done by anybody, any time, undergoing any type of medical therapy / taking any medications.

I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Fife send me an advance copy of "Oil Pulling Therapy", and am all too happy to post this review before it is available for sale here on Amazon.com

I've had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Fife, and talking with him on a few other occassions.

Dr. Fife is a man of great honor and integrity - you can trust what he is saying has been scientifically validated, and that all testimonials are 100% credible.

At only 168 pages, it will not take you long to read it, and will keep you wanting to read it in it's entirety.

The whole idea that something as simple as "swishing" vegetable oil in your mouth can dramatically improve your life may sound crazy. But once you understand how it works, and how safe and inexpensive it is, you will want to try it right away.

Thanks again, Dr. Fife - you have given those of us lucky enough to read your books another wonderful gift that can help us live a healthier, happier and more rewarding life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oil Pulling Therapy, November 25, 2008

By	Nona Baker "Nuts 4 Nutrition" (Escalon, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

Reading this book has convinced me that Oil Pulling is a valid therapy to detox the body and especially if there are issues with the mouth, teeth and gums. I started doing this about a month ago and my arthritis pain is much, much less, my teeth are much whiter (mine have always been a yellow color which made me not want to smile much). I've noticed some changes in and around the stomach area and seem to be digesting foods much better. I've been using Sesame Seed oil which seems to work well. I do it when showering in the morning.

The best thing about the web sites are that no one is trying to sell you anything and it is very inexpensive considering what other supplements cost.

Dr. Fife recommends coconut oil (he wrote many books on coconut oil), others say any oil will do, and the original people recommended Sunflower or Sesame Seed oil, so take your pick. All I know is that I feel better and have much less joint aches and pains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oil Pulling Therapy, October 21, 2008

By	Diana McNeel (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews

The provocative title was enough for me to purchase this book, but even better that it was written by Bruce Fife! He never disappoints. He always backs up his information with studies (that have often been surrepetitiously ignored by modern medicine). Oil pulling turns out to be the practice of swishing liquid oil in your mouth at least once a day for 20 minutes to rid yourself of bacteria, viruses, etc. that may be causing you systemic harm. He explains and documents why something so simple could be so over-all healthy. He does disclaim that this should not be considered a panacea or disease/illness/syndrome cure-all, but he does beg the question. Why not give it a try? It certainly won't hurt you. You don't swallow or gargle the oil. You can use any oil you want (although he suggests coconut oil and I attest it DOES taste better in the mouth). You can be about your business doing other things during that 20 minute swishing procedure. After all, it just might work.
