Butter wouldn't stay on my lips long enough to do any good...

It's also shown to cause an 84% increase in night drooling. Pillows

everywhere beware.

I think I'm sensitive to some of the phenolic compounds. The dark greens, and

to a lesser degree citrus, seem to be the primary offenders, but the salicylates

that are found widely in fruits can suppress the ability to detoxify the

compounds in the other foods if you don't clear salicylates well.

I'm giggling like a schoolgirl after reading your email, " Please don't ask me

how I

know this because I don't want to talk about it... " You're priceless.

Hi Mrs B,

Is that ringworm still troubling you, then? You may want to try

putting urine on it--it works very well and at the right price.

Pee into a cup and pour it over the affected area--as opposed to

dabbing it on--and it works much better. Please don't ask me how I

know this because I don't want to talk about it...

Re: the lip thing: ghee. Butter would work but one runs the risk of

the milk solids forming little white specks on the lips, I'd suppose.

Also you couldn't just carry it about in a little container in the

purse, like ghee.

Oh this is good. A urine therapy practitioner comes out of the closet.

Maybe I will delurk off that list and share the good news, sans names

of course :-)

I'm not sure how you define a recent post but a search through all my

sent items over the last 12 months shows no post from me using your

last name. A little further back finds one post on another list where

I use B. Outside of that I find no other use of your full

handle and nothing that would even come close to violating any

confidences you thought you may have had with me. Please correct me if

I am wrong.

As for that one particular post, given what I considered to be the

surreal nature of that thread, and your style of humor I wasn't even

sure if you were serious in your response. Partly because I didn't

know that your trip to Seattle was something you shared with me in

confidence, and partly because I didn't share anything other than that

fact, had nothing really in mind other than a general point that would

apply to anybody, and used it as a foil to make my point. Apparently

however you read much more into it than I ever intended, and

re-reading it I see how you could given what you shared with me at the

time, so I am very sorry, and consider myself duly chastised. I should

have used another name and example.

As far as any other " past incidents " unless I missed something, which

is quite possible, they most certainly didn't occur anywhere online. I

can only think of one off line issue, and since I would contend that

it was indeed my confidence and trust which was violated, I wouldn't

revisit that issue for all the money in the world.

As for me making mention of your success on the urine therapy list I

won't do that. I was simply planning on asking a question along the

lines of " I just read that someone cured ringworm using this therapy,

anyone else had any such success? " But as per your request I will

leave out any reference to " someone "

I saw that one but somehow it didn't seem germane to what you were

saying since the post itself was innocuous. I didn't realize you

considered the use of your last name in any context on the various

lists we once shared as a violation of a confidence. I apologize once

again for doing so.

And by the way I do mean that since I don't like my last name being

used either. You can call me " Che " from now on ;-)

/if you don't get the connection don't worry about. It was another

thread where someone's real name was used in place of how they sign

online.

I'd love to answer you, but I have no idea how to quantify sunlight.

It gets plenty sunny enough to burn, if that helps.

There's that, but it also acts as a sunscreen (as I believe Price

noted it was used for among some island tribe or another), which would

be the expected effect of slathering light-absorbing antioxidants all

over your skin. Last summer I got mild sunburns a couple times when I

went out in the sun and forgot to put coconut oil on.

I would not trust it to go out for hours in the intense sun if your

body is used to clothing instead, as I was intentionally controlling

the amount of sun I was getting and exposing myself gradually over the

course of the year. I don't recall whether I was intentionally using

the coconut oil as a sunscreen or not; I was using it anyway. But I

noticed that when I went out not having put any on I was more sun

sensitive.
