Re: castor oil pack for liver

[Guest guest]

I am planning to try the castor oil pack for my liver

this weekend. Does anyone know how many times you can

do these one hour sessions? Would once a week for a

month be too much?

Dr. McGarey who has written " The Oil That Heals " and uses the packs in his

practice, prescribes a variety of times and sessions based on the Edgar

Cayce readings. A rather 'normal' session is for one hour each day, 5 days

in a row then skipping a couple of days and going with another five days

following this routine for a couple of weeks. Some have extended it out

much farther (in fact it has at times been prescribed longer by McGarey) and

in one case I have seen a testimonial of a woman who cured her hypertension

with this method going on for 6 months with the 5 days on, 2 days off

routine. At times there are instructions for 2 and 3 hour sessions for a

shorter span of time. I've done the one hour to one and a half hour

sessions, 5 days on and two days off then 5 days on again, but have quit at

that point because of the 'inconvenience' of preparation and clean up and

quite frankly while a couple of days of one hour sessions may be relaxing, I

find that beyond that it gets tedious.

There is nothing that I can find that the packs cause any kind of adverse

reactions, so my suggestion is to allow your own experience be your guide.

It would be nigh impossible to clean the castor oil off the flannel and I

don't know what it would do to a washing machine but I wouldn't try it.

It's tough enough getting it off of your skin though baking soda helps a

great deal. I've seen instructions to keep using the flannel over again but

some suggest no more than 30 times. I also add a little oil most of the

time and it seems to work better than when I don't. I don't see how the

saturation level of the flannel has anything to do with it but I'm convinced

that it does. I keep mine in a zip lock bag in the fridge to help protect

it and, I know, it's cold when it first comes out. Some instructions say to

heat it first, but I don't because it takes less than a minute to put it on

and get a pre-heated pad on it.

Yes, you can use the same cloth over and over - unwashed - until it becomes

stained and " yucky " with impurities. I just fold mine up after use and put it

in a plastic bag in the fridge.

Although I've read instructions somewhere on how to " clean " the wool flannel, I

don't think I'd even try. All that oil in wool? Puh-lease!

(I sent away for the wool flannel I am now using and it was rather expensive.

When it gets too soiled, I plan to just cut up an old wool blanket that I have

on hand and use that).
