I came across this interesting article about garlic with some remarks about good old castor oil too. It is from a newsletter by Kal Sellers a master herbalist of the Christopher variety, also a chiropractor. I thought its contents fit right in here.

Cancer #3: Garlic and the Poison Factory

Garlic can be taken many ways, but until recently I had never researched its use in the way I am going to recommend today. It is well known that garlic helps the liver, helps blood pressure, improves oxygen saturation, disinfects the body, destroys parasites and generally creates conditions that would be favorable to healing just about anything.

What I did not know, however, was how good of an absorbent garlic could be. Normally, we take garlic oil, eat pressed garlic or roasted garlic or take it dried and powdered in a supplement. These are all fine, and work well as many of us know. In these cases, the garlic is absorbed rather quickly from the GI tract and goes throughout the body and does its work in the next few hours. After that, just the sulfur remains and that also has a medicinal value because it helps with detoxification and to feed the body dietary sulfur.

There is a way, however, to get the garlic to absorb toxins at the same time that it disinfects and promotes liver detoxification and healing of the colon, the largest organ of detox next to the skin. This is done by keeping the garlic more or less in tact and swallowing it like a pill. If the garlic cloves are large, they can be sliced into chunks barely small enough to swallow. If they are small, they can be nicked with a knife so that there can be exchange from inside to outside when they are in the stomach and GI tract.

One can swallow the equivalent of 6-8 capsules in garlic chunks.

These pieces of garlic have a few advantages over their pressed or ground counter parts:

First, the garlic will be time-release, meaning that it will release fresh medicinal garlic the whole way through the GI tract so that “everyone”, including the lower colon, gets the good stuff, not the already worn out and used up stuff that will be left over after garlic is digested in the typical way. This means that the full strength of garlic will be right up against the lower colon, where so many pathologies can begin or exist. It is also near the prostate for men and will seep potent medicines right into that area also.

Second, the garlic will appear with a new medicinal power in absorbing toxins, poisons and heavy metals as it goes through. This heavy metal aspect is what first interested me. Surprise it was when I found that no other absorptive I had found worked as well as garlic for pulling out mercury and for relieving the symptoms of mercury poisoning. That was and is exciting. Because of this absorptive action, garlic also pulls poisons out of the liver. These poisons that appear when the liver is overloaded or toxic are one of the fundamental causes of cancer. The liver will pull off cancer cells, detox them and remove them from the body fairly quickly if it can, but if it is already too toxic, then it will ignore them because it has to. Then cancer can grow.

Third, garlic will not overheat the body when taken in this form, while in any other form, garlic can overheat the body and exhaust it.

Now that we understand the function of garlic, let us talk about the poison factory. The liver is normally a poison processing plant. It cleans out all the worst stuff and neutralizes it for safe elimination. When it is dysfunctional and overloaded, however, the liver can become a metabolic poison factory. It can create a state of system and body-wide metabolic toxicity. Neurological and immune dysfunction, cancer and cysts, obesity and inflammation are just a few of the serious problems that can result. Cardiovascular problems and cholesterol abnormalities are certain.

With garlic, we have a tool that can help to change this. With the whole garlic chunks, we can absorb poisons that the liver otherwise would not process well. Meanwhile, we can also treat the liver. There are many approaches to this which will be discussed by and by, but one thing that works outstandingly well in tandem with garlic chunks is castor oil.

When I use castor oil, I lie on my left side and rub it into my liver, which is on my right side (the side up) under the lower edge of the rib cage from side to sternum. I rub about a teaspoon of the oil in very well for several minutes while relaxing as well as I can. Then I use either Professor Cayenne’s Deep Heating balm from Dr. Christopher Original Formulas, or Deep Tissue Ointment from Dr. Richard Shulze, on top of the castor oil. This heats it and stimulates its passage into the liver. This I generally do at night and I always experience some improvement by morning.

Castor oil is worth two newsletters by itself, but it will purge tissue, improve electrical activity in the tissues, drain lymph, carry out poisons, cathart otherwise stagnant tissue and more. It is a wonder oil that dissolves all cysts, tumors and scar tissue. Furthermore, it is very inexpensive, easy to get and safe to use. Every household should have some and every condition should be considered as a candidate for castor oil treatments of some kind.

Castor oil will purge the liver while the garlic will absorb the toxins, kill infection and parasites and bring oxygen in where there has been a shortage due to toxicity. It is a dynamic duo that will always yield results.
