Re: Lymph system and castor oil.

If you read "The Oil That Heals" by William McGarey, M.D, you will find a pretty good explanation of the lymphatic system and that medical science doesn't really understand it.  It is both a garbage dump and a nutrient source and needs to flow or your body gets all sorts of problems.  The book is based on the readings of Edgar Cayce and focuses on castor oil packs with a lot of case histories of McGarey's success from prescribing them to his patients in his medical/M.D. practice.  You will also learn that Cayce did not advocate the internal use of castor oil.

I've had great success with the packs in freeing up lethargic energies in particular, and just a general tonic in general.  I also once tried castor oil internally one time.  I swear that once it hits (it might take anywhere from four to six hours) it shows you no mercy.  Have a towel ready just in case because just because you sit on a commode and pass everything you've ingested for the past six months and feel it's all gone, ten minutes later you will get the same urge and same results and your body may not make in time to the sitting position.  This doesn't happen just once or twice but several times - and will produce the loosest stools you've ever encountered - for hours.

If you ingest castor oil, proceed with caution, plan nothing for the next 12 to 18 hours.
