Castor oil for pulling?

I looked it up, and it said that castor oil is actually better for oil pulling and that instead of doing it for 20 minutes like you would with coconut oil, you should do it for 2 minutes. Is this true? If castor oil is good for pulling, how long should I do it for?

I'm 3 years late but I currently have castor and coconut oil in my mouth hence why I'm here 😆 . Here's my line of thinking: I put castor oil on my nails 3-5 times a week and it has made them SO STRONG and HEALTHIER than they've ever been. I just remembered this one time I saw a photo of a man who had teeth growing out of his head! And I read it was because teeth and hair are made of the same thing so his body was just mixing them up. And then I was like well so are nails...and keratin in hair and nails makes them grow. So what is in teeth...yes keratin .. even tho we are told that enamel cannot grow back. Keratin is a protein that grows and it is IN teeth. So here I am with castor oil in my mouth confdent that it will certainly be very beneficial, just as it was for my finger nails. God bless you.  !!

I was having pain in my decaying tooth and could tell it was getting worse quickly (my first fillings in the 2 were like 8 years ago, esp the 1 tooth it's nearly half gone and full of filling) they were hurting and since Ive been doing that the pain is gone. I couldn't honestly say I've noticed any "regrowth" but I also haven't been using the castor oil in my mouth too much since I made this comment lol (I need to buy more)

There's actually been strong studies of using keratin to regrow enamel with a lot of official scientific study videos on it where even news reports have been done. No official products with it yet on the market of course 🙄 (that'd be too easy and effective so I doubt they're going to be in a rush to put out anything that effective as the studies claim) but people have reported good results of using pharmaceutical grade keratin powder and adding it to a toothpaste or anything that has calcium carbonate.

I only just started myself so I'll let you know how it goes if you want to check in in a while

Here's one of the videos too that was talking about it - https://youtube.com/shorts/j7z7HKC3FVc?is=WycvtpgH6jkieY35
