I dunno, Mike......... I think the co taken internally as/for laxative
purposes would be a different effect than using it in a pack, applied
externally.
        .......also, it would be interesting to know how much ricin shows
up in the finished product with cold-pressed castor beans.

interesting article:

  ........The Bill McGarey mentioned is the expert [living] on co;
probably can be reached thru the A.R.E.Clinic, Phoenix, AZ  [believe they
have a website.]

Merridian Institute has lots of info on co on their site:

.......Baar products has info and Fine castor oil in quatities pleasing
to us COP fanatics:
