You know, I'm wondering about this--with oil pulling they say to do it for 20 minutes as this is how long it takes for the blood to circulate through the body. Since the mouth membranes absorb directly into the blood stream, oil pulling this way does remarkable things for people.
So--couldn't you put some strong natural herbal anti-bacterial/viral/fungal in some oil and swish that around for 20 minutes after finding a tick bite? Say, do this several times a day for the first couple days? That would by-pass the digestion and get the anti-everything into the same places the virus would be delivered by the blood. And perhaps the virus wouldn't have enough time to get established before the herbs/MMS/whatever got to it and killed it? Just pondering. Samala, Renee -------Original Message------- Your statement below is generally not true. Even if one gets the tick off quickly, as you suggest, the contents of the tick's stomach may have been regurgitated into the bite and the blood and lymph will carry it to all parts of the body, quickly, and then start reproducing or hiding until it is safe to start reproducing.
