Found a thread that intrigued and puzzled me, so I had to dive in - finally - to see what in the world this "oil pulling" might be.

See for yourself, at http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/ma...l-pulling.html what I am just now reading and figuring might be worth trying to whiten my teeth, pink up my gums, freshen my breath by removing particles that defy brushing.

At 64, I've lost enamel and my teeth are dingy and discourage me smiling. For years now I've avoided wearing white near my face, as the contrast with off-white teeth...

Watching an infomercial one day, it dawned on me that a LC life might be viewed according to its ASSETS (habits that profit us even when one is not doing much) and LIABILITIES (that drain or steal assets), just as the concept of assets and liabilities is laid out plain by Richard Kiyosaki in a financial reprogramming book/course: Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Radical notion, first time it hit me!

Yes, when I'm on track, all the world is full of LC insights, glimpses (of what might be) and thrilling epiphanies. Some days are full of great LC visions and awareness of possibilities that form...
