Re: acupuncture detox..

No, the coconut oil is nothing to do with oil-pulling at all. With oil-pulling you spit the oil out because it contains toxins. With coconut oil, you swallow a tablespoon of it - get the good dietary supplement kind, not the grocery kind - every morning before you eat, and again late afternoon. If you do this for 30 days there can often, I'm told, be a major turnaround in health problems, especially arthritis. ( Kevin Trudeau speaks very highly of it in his Further Natural Cures book. I know the guy was a bit of crook once, but he seems to have hit on something here!) My partner has certainly noticed a difference and can only put it down to oil-pulling or coconut oil.

Before you do it, though, I suggest you check out the info at the coconut oil forum here on Curezone and at http://www.mercola.com/2003/sep/13/coconut_oil.htm. I always believe in researching things thoroughly before you put them in your body, because everyone is so different. But the claims for coconut oil are certainly mighty impressive.
