Oil Pulling Day 1

I have been reading on oil pulling for some time. I have went back and forth with it. Debating on if it's a good choice for me since I do still have 11 mercury filled fillings. After speaking with the doctor that will be removing my fillings he assured me they were not going to come out in my case. He said start off slow and work up. This was a month ago he said this and I finally took the plunge this morning.

I took 1/4 teaspoon (note NOT tablespoon) and put it in my mouth. I started to swish. It wasn't bad at all. This morning I chose coconut oil. It is unrefined and cold pressed it still has several good attributes and properties to it.

I took the coconut oil and let it melt a bit then I put it in my mouth. For the first 5-10 seconds I was like wow this isn't that bad. Kept swishing and trying not to do it too hard so my mouth wouldn't get sore. I kept going more and more. About 60-90 seconds in I started hacking up phlegm. I had some pretty severe congestion, allergies, and sinus pressure this past few weeks so this didn't surprise me. From what I have read and understand it can combat a variety of ailments. I just hope to overcome my allergies until I can get my gut completely healed up.

So after day 1 def not the best way I thought it would end up, but each day I will track my progress on here and post what has happened. I know some days will be better than others but the best thing is to just keep chugging along to make it happen and overcome my health issues. 

30 Days To The First Removal

I can't believe there are only 30 more days until my first appointment to remove my first quadrant of mercury filled teeth. I have so many emotions and not sure how to control them. I am excited. I am happy. I am nervous and overjoyed. I feel a sense of relief and I also feel the worry of the unknown. I wonder what if I will feel the difference immediately or will it be steady. I am anxious to work out and go for a run with my husband without having to worry about having a massive migraine for following days after.

I don't expect to be completely pain free over night, and know it's a slow process. The biggest thing is that it is something I have wanted for so long and I was determined to get it done. I put myself out there to my husband and said we have to make this work. There is no other option. I know if we don't do this now it's only going to be a matter of months before I get a diagnosis of Lupus, MS or Fibromyalgia. This is what I don't want. I love life and the blessings that Yahweh has given me. I know that he would not have given me all of them, if I wasn't going to live here long enough to enjoy them.

This has been a very tough road and I have been in pain like this since my husband met me. He could have pushed me away and didn't want to deal with it, but he didn't because Yahweh gave him to me to have as my husband. I have started to take my antioxidants and in 2 weeks I will be starting on Alpha Lipoic Acid. I will be juicing full time the week of my appointment and until for 90 days after all of my quadrants are replaced.
