Be cautious when taking supplements

Oil pulling (from Wikipedia). One side note is that my doctor has me using coconut oil bc it's antibacterial.

Oil pulling or oil swishing is a traditional Indian folk remedy that involves swishing oil in the mouth. It is mentioned in the Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita, where it is called Kavala Gandoosha or Kavala Graha. Ayurvedic literature describes oil pulling as capable of both improving oral health and treating systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or asthma.[1] While scientific evidence is lacking to support any systemic benefits of oil pulling, some studies have suggested that it may reduce oral plaque, halitosis, and gingivitis.

Procedure

The practitioner rinses the mouth with approximately one tablespoon of oil (sesame and sunflower oils are the most recommended) for 15?20 minutes on an empty stomach (before eating/drinking) then spits it out.

I was wondering about that oregano oil too? so much stuff? I think tumeric is ok. Everything in very small quantity. I never take the recommended doses on any of my supplements. Im very cautious of it all, and alot of them are drying without you knowing it. It can really aggravate the sjogrens. I couldnt believe how dry some of them made me. I could barely breathe.

I took turmeric for 6 months, and saw no improvement in joint pain, so I quit. However, DHA is helping.
