Causes & Cure for Stress & Depression: http://www.value.net/~esoteric/mony/mony.html Idea: Use a standard 250 watt 'Infrared Heat Reflector' bulb, about 24" away, instead of applying a heating pad over the castor oil pack, to reduce your exposure to EM fields. Or, perhaps use castor oil outdoors, under hot sun. from: CONSUMER ALERT: ONLY COLD PRESSED CASTOR OIL IS EFFECTIVE AS AN IMMUNE STIMULANT: http://www.execpc.com/~keephope/report8.html (72kb) -------------------------------------------------------------------- CASTOR OIL PACKS -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Use only cold pressed castor oil. 2. Use 1/4 cup of castor oil per treament. 3. Use only pure white woolen or cotton flannel for the packs. 4. Always use castor oil over a clean flannel cloth. Do not add cold castor oil to a flannel that is soaked in castor oil used in the previous treatment. 5. Use the packs with the heat pad 2 days a week over the abdomen area to the right of your naval, 2 days a week over the spleen area (bottom of left rib cage), and 3 days a week over the Thymus gland (just above the heart). Use the packs one hour to 1 1/2 hrs. daily. Do the treatments daily for the first 4 weeks, after which, do the treatments every other day, once over the three target areas -- liver, thymus and spleen. HOW TO APPLY THE CASTOR OIL PACKS 1. Place a heating pad (Sunbeam -- sold in drug stores) which is about 14" by 16" on a table. 2. Cut a piece of plastic from a heavy gauge garbage bag about 14 inches by 16 inches and place it on top of the heating pad. 3. Fold the wool or cotton flannel so it is two layers thick and measures 12" by 13." Place it on top of the plastic sheet which is on the heating pad. 4. The first time you use castor oil, pour about 3/4 cup of cold pressed castor oil on the flannel and spread evenly until the flannel is completely saturated. 5. Turn the heating pad on high for 5 minutes. 6. Pick up the heating pad with the plastic sheet and flannel soaked in castor oil and use both thumbs to hold it together and place against your abdomen area, spleen area or the upper part of your chest where the Thymus gland is located. 7. In order to hold everything in place, wrap a large bath towel around your body on top of the heating pad. Use 2 or 3 large pins to hold it snug against your body. Reduce heat if it feels too warm. After one hour or even longer, remove the heat pad and the flannel which will stick to the plastic sheet. Massage the warm castor oil into your body. Use a dry hand towel and massage the remaining castor oil into the skin. Wait 5 minutes, then take a bath or shower if desired. 8. When you are done with the treatment, wash the flannel in 2 quarts of warm water with 1/4 cup of baking soda added. Then rinse the flannel well before you use it next time. DO NOT REUSE CASTOR OIL ONCE IT HAS BEEN HEATED. THE CONTINUOUS REHEATING OF CASTOR OIL CAUSES IT TO FORM LIPID PEROXIDES AND TO BECOME RANCID. RANCID CASTOR OIL MAY BE IMMUNO-SUPPRESSIVE. First time users weekly schedule: Use the castor oil packs over the thymus gland 3 times a week; 2 times a week over the spleen and 2 times a week over the liver area. Do the treatments for one hour each day for the first 4 weeks. After the 4th week, do the treatment 3 times a week, every other day over the three target areas -- the liver, thymus and spleen for one hour per treatment. I am of the opinion that the amount of castor oil you absorb into the skin may be more important than the length of time you use the heat pad. DO NOT APPLY A CASTOR OIL TREATMENT OVER NEW FURNITURE. IF CASTOR OIL GETS ON THE FURNITURE, USE CARPET SHAMPOO AND WARM WATER AND SPONGE THE AREA. USE A DRY TOWEL TO SOAK UP IT THE EXCESS. Either place a plastic sheet over new furniture or use an old chair that does not have much value in case some castor oil drips onto it. ROOM TEMPERATURE CASTOR OIL WITHOUT HEAT PAD Robert M (Case No. 1) told me a friend of his massaged castor oil over this chest and abdomen area before bedtime for two weeks and that his CD4 count increased 120 points (from 540 to 660). He estimates he used about 1 tablespoon daily. He did not use the heat pad. I asked him about the problem of getting the castor oil on the sheets. He said it was no problem as he changed his sheets daily. WHERE TO OBTAIN "COLD PRESSED" CASTOR OIL Local sources: Health food stores. Woolen flannel -- fabric shops; heat pads -- drug stores and department stores. A wholesale and/or retail mail order source for cold pressed castor oil, wool or cotton flannel is Heritage Store, PO Box 444, Virginia Bch, VA 23458. Phone No: 800-862-2923 or 804-428-4941. Note: Persons allergic to woolen flannel should substitute white cotton flannel for applying the castor oil packs. Sunbeam heat pads sold in drug or department stores is suitable for doing the castor oil packs. The temperatures of the heat pads are not so high as to render the castor oil ineffective.

Topical application was recommended for ailments of the skin, such as warts, and castor oil packs (cotton cloth soaked with castor oil) for ailments originating deeper in the body. The castor oil must be of the cold pressed variety to be effective since the modern heat extraction process destroys the active ingredient in the oil. My mother reported that she had a tumor in her leg that she was going to have surgically removed. While waiting for her surgery, she applied castor oil packs to her leg daily for a month. When it came time for the surgery, the tumor had disappeared. Upon hearing this, I decided to try the oil for myself. I chose to try and remove a large mole on my back. I soaked the gauze on a Band-aid with castor oil and applied it to the mole. I changed the Band-aid daily for two weeks. At this point, the mole became quite tender to the touch, and I discontinued the castor oil treatment at this point. Two weeks later, the mole, now dried like a scab, began parting from my skin on one edge. I pulled the mole off, revealing fresh pink skin underneath. There was no pain, and the mole never returned. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
