Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi Odi, I have used the Castor Oil pack. You need to get cold pressed Castor Oil which comes with a flannel cloth. Saturate the cloth with castor oil. Place the cloth over the breast and then put a piece of plastic on top finally, put on a heating pad.Keep the temperature low for safety sake. Make sure everything is securely in place so you don't get burned. This needs to stay on for at least 45 minutes. I listened to music or meditated while I was doing this. After your time is up, you need to clean the area which was touched by the castor oil with a solution of water and baking soda or get Castor Clean . If you were able to get relaxed, your bladder should be full and needs to be emptied. Another way of doing this is to apply the castor pack to the abdomen, as this area has a number of lymph glands. Again, clean the area when you are finished. This has been very relaxing for me. To find out more check out christaine Northrup, MD. women's Bodies: women's Minds or one of her other books. Castor Oil packs were used by edgar Cayce, so they have been around for a while. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hi to all out there could any ladies who has had breast cancer or anybody who has ever used a castoil pack please give me instructions as I will be doing it at home and I have never done or heard of this pack before. thank you odi Hi Odi, Search for Edgar Casey on the net. He recommended castor oil packs for some illnesses and once you find the castor oil pack remedy, it should tell how how to administer it. good luck Tortuga95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Recently there was a posting about soy and breast cancer. There were many opinions as to the safety of soy in its unfermented form. Here is Dr. Northrup's opinion about soy. I have great respect for Dr. Northrup. I would be interested in feedback from those who remember that prior article. Thanks, Dr. Sinatra’s opinion on genistein and breast cancer contains the kind of information that is so confusing to so many. First of all, genistein is only one of hundreds of beneficial substances found in soy and other foods. I don’t recommend using isolated chemicals from any food, including soy. Isolated chemicals from virtually every vegetable and fruit can be shown to increase rates of DNA mutations and cancer. These studies are considered nutritionally irrelevant by most scientists. No one believes that eating broccoli causes cancer, despite in vitro studies using isolated chemicals from broccoli that show DNA mutations. No human studies have ever shown that whole soy consumption increases breast cancer incidence or risk. As a matter of fact, there is good evidence that it probably does just the opposite. A study was recently published showing that consumption of products made from whole soy results in decreased mammographic density (see Reference 1, link below). This is important because mammographic density is a predictor of breast cancer risk (i.e., high breast density is correlated with increased risk for developing breast cancer). Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) use is known to increase both mammographic density and breast cancer risk. In addition, with use of a advanced breast-imaging modality called B.E.S.T. (Breast Enhanced Scintigraphy Test), researchers have found initial confirmation of soy protein’s ability to reduce inflamed breast tissue (see Reference 2, link below). Inflammatory changes of the breast are also correlated with carcinoma of the breast. No human study has ever shown an increased risk of breast cancer with soy intake. The same author of the above study conducted a second, double-blinded, randomized trial over a 12-month period. She and her co-authors concluded, “t appears that [soy] isoflavones do not exert an estrogenic effect similar to hormone replacement therapy on mammographic density†(see Reference 3, link below). Consumption of a high soy diet is positively associated with a lower incidence of breast cancer and other hormone-dependent cancers (endometrial and prostate cancer). Studies also show that a diet high in soy reduces levels of your body’s form of estrogen that is linked to breast cancer, as well as reducing levels of toxic estrogen metabolites (i.e., estrogen metabolites than can cause DNA mutations in your body). I have also seen many women whose breast tenderness and PMS symptoms have gone away when they added soy to their diets. Bottom line: Although I agree with Dr. Sinatra that genistein shouldn’t be used by itself in anyone who has breast cancer, I’d say the same thing to women without breast cancer. And I’d say the same thing about any isolated food chemical. Whole soy foods, on the other hand, contain hundreds of substances that have been shown to work synergistically in the body to promote health, including breast health. Research on humans in real clinical situations is bearing this out; and, while much of the current literature remains inconclusive, the bulk of the good scientific evidence comes down in favor of whole soy.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi, I'm planning to do the castor oil pack as I'm having a lot of pain around my liver area. I've found the castor oil & I've got a hot pack but cant find the flannel. Can I just use an old towel instead. I dont want to have to wait to order it & it'll take about 2-3 weeks to arrive fr the States. thanks Shirin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 > I've just used a cloth diaper that I had already at home. Works great. Try it with the towel - but maybe a hand towel, not bath towel. Thanks. I just saw some unbleached cotton diapers the other day. Will go get some today.
