Re: Spirit GUM Turpentine. (natural sap..not old Turps)

I used to live in the country and an old county guy gave me some stuff to cure just about anything. It was equal parts gum turpentine, white kerosene and Vicks vaporub. The Vicks kept it from burning your skin. You couldn't take it internally, but I swear, it was miraculous. If I had a headache, I would rub it on my forehead and it went away within minutes. I cure a couple of skin cancers with it. Turpentine is amazing! I've read where old-timers used to take kerosene for parasites, but I don't think I would trust what's in today's versions.
