Taking everything into account, Renee, oil pulling is quite a common detox method used by many in the Lyme community. So they are familiar with the method.
But, I actually dont know if anyone has used that and that alone, or with added anti-bacterial/viral/fungals to avoid contracting Lyme from an initial tick bite. It certainly would be worth investigating and asking if anyone has tried to do it that way. Not a bad idea, actually. I'd just be concerned about the spirochetes hiding, encysting, or morphing into L-form or other forms, etc. I think, if it were me, I'd get on ABX as quickly as possible, since that is the tried and true method, and then add in oil pulling per your suggestion. It might also be worthwhile to ask Marc Fett over at Lymestrategies if he knows anyone who has tried it. Maybe Dr. Klinghardt, or any of the alternative LLMD experimenters knowledgeable or willing to investigate the idea. Who knows, you might be on to something great!

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. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
