Oh yeah...me too. Stretch marks. Hmmm. You know how there's a Castor Oil Forum here, and they advocate using it for treaments with a heating pad? I wonder if coconut oil would work like that - according to all I've read, you put castor oil on your skin (usually the abdomen) and then cover it with a flannel soaked in castor oil, and then plastic, and then a heating pad. It gets absorbed into your skin, and penetrates your organs, to cleanse your colon and all sorts of other things. I wonder if coconut oil would have bennies like that? Stretch marks might be a good experiment with a heating pad and coconut oil!
