Some say that you only need to keep it up until it turns watery, which can take about 2-3 minutes -- then you spit and rinse. Not 10, 15, or 20 minutes, but around 3ish. [End]

Do you swish back and forth, through the teeth, or also side to side?
I used OO and found after 9 or so minutes the amount of watery-saliva was too much and I needed to spit some out. I also felt like gagging a few times and needed to stop at around 10 minutes. It was quite watery, white, and foamy by that time.
I do not like OO’s taste very much but I’ve read its more effect for oil pulling than other oils. True?

Does using extra olive oil for the skin, particularly on the face, cause the skin pigment to become more and more olive in colour? I guess it sounds like a very silly question. In any case, if this is the case, is there any other alternative for a skin remedy for dry skin? I stopped using lotions some time ago when MH and the board members here told me about how skin works (i.e. it eats what you put on it, etc) and moved to using extra olive oil. But I don’t want to look olive in skin colour as it makes me look ill. [End]

Thanks for the information -- I’ll look into cilantro further. I only did very light research on it and concluded it was a great supplement to take.
My only confusion is that you say you do not have a bad liver but have had a tremendous amount of amalgams in your mouth since 7. How is it possible that this has not caused degeneration in your organs, the mercury must have gone and affected many places, no?
Dark circles are a big issue for me as well and I’d like to understand your perspective.

This is primarily why I removed my amalgams as well. It has been about a month since I removed the final fillings and there is really no perceivable change in the dark circles or in my state, though it may be premature to draw any conclusions -- this condition must have taken some time to accrue and it should be given a corresponding amount of time to see if there is any healing to do. I am taking daily cilantro and herbs.
I would have to tell you right now that there is a part of me that suspects that the amalgam-mercury issue is not what it is purported to be. But we who want real hea ...

Hi all,
I’ve finally arrived at the day of my mercury removal (first of two, next and final visit is in 6 days).
My question is with regard to how I should be taking activated charcoal. I had taken two last night and two this morning (about 30 minutes before going to the dentist). I have been instructed to take it for the next few days as well after the amalgam removal but since this is happening again the following Friday, this means I will be taking the activated charcoal for close to two weeks straight. Is it okay to take it for this long?

Greetings,
The best medical book I ever read explains all these children and adults that kill them selves or mass murders the one they love the most.

Small little circles or patches appear on the skin that vary in colour in individuals, depending on their race (for me it is pinkish when it first appears and when it dries the colour of course changes). When its going about in its business, growing and thriving by warmth, humidity, and sweat, it can cause considerable itching. In fact, whenever the body temperature increases to a certain point, the itchiness is unignorable. I don’t like medications but I thought, ”why not, its only for a week or a month”, and it worked to some extent: the itchiness has nearly gone away; but the patches re ...

Furthermore, Your blood sugar will be very low, and our bodies need protein, carbs etc to maintain healthy cells, so not eating every day except one meal will starve them.

I don’t know what caused it. I ate a lot of sugar when I was younger and had a lot of metal in my mouth as a consequence of this. Tinea versicolor is probably also a genetic disposition as my older sister and father both had it, perhaps it is a common reaction for our gene pool to the same imbalance caused by improper diet and disordered systems of elimination? I could speculate for a while; I do not know a thing. [End]

I’ve scheduled the removal of my amalgams for June-July. I am planning on beginning an orange juice fast after that. As per your instructions I haven’t gotten carried away with any other real cleansing regimes until I have the mercury removed; except for the wild rose (Dr.Terry Willard) herbal-detox which includes many of the herbs used by Dr.Christopher/you. I’ve bought a couple of his books as well so that I can learn more about each of them and begin to prepare formulas myself.

This makes sense since when I experience ’die-off’ effects my dark circles always get worse and my eye muscles in general feel very strained.

Discomfort has now become pain. I haven’t been able to sleep for the past 3-4 hours.

Just remember that part of the weight loss is due to ketosis which only starts up after a few days (they say it starts after 72 hours but I think this depends on the person and cannot be calculated neatly).

I am no expert but 7-day water fasts are the longest duration of fasting that I will do.
I am definite in the opinion that you will lose weight, especially after your 7-7-7 combo. What I think is important is to be extremely careful on re-entering your diet. You usually gain back weight because of the slowed-down metabolism, and I hear this lasts for even up to a month. You can, of course, lessen this effect by taking walks or exercising in general, every day.
Just watch that month aftwards if you are interested in keeping the weight off.
