Castor Oil - ideas ?

What is the causal link between the sun allergy and the castor oil? Couldn't it have been coincidence?

Any sort of an allergy results of the fact that an allergene from outside will encounter an antigene deposed in the human body. Every antigene is linked with a certain poison. - I know this from a textbook being written by a professor for students in medicine. - So, when you will eliminate all the poisons of your body all the allergies will disappear.

Also I hope you continue to use sunblock as melanoma doesn't know about castor oil.

No, I shall not use any form of a sunblock for in the case of an intensive sunlight I wear a suitable light clothing covering completely my arms and I put my hat on in order to prevent that the sun will shine directly in my eyes. - Look at the farmers: These ones know exactly upon the clothing when being outside the whole day.

Sorry but an allergy results from the abnormal reaction of the immune system to an allergen which is harmless substance from outside the body. These can be any number of things. It has nothing to do with toxins real or imagined. Sun burn has nothing to do with the allergic response but instead is a first degree or even split thickness second degree burn from ultraviolet radiation. I can't even begin to imagine how toxins would have anything to do with this. What toxins are you talking about anyway? As for possible eye damage from UV light I would recommend wearing eye protection as cataracts may develop. These have been linked to UV exposure. I have had cataracts in both eyes operated on and don't recommend it for a good time.

From my dermatologist I know that I have had not a sun bum but really a severe form of an allergy against the sun and he did no more know how to cure this. By chance I started to take castor oil, and indeed, I became healthy.

I'm sorry but this merely a case of synchronistic events. However if it comforts you to believe so who am I to criticize it?

I very much doubt that this has been a case of synchronistic events for simultaneously I have lost all symptoms of a chronic intoxication by mercury.

What was the nature of the mercury exposure? Did you have before and after mercury levels to document the actual reduction? Or was it all a subjective experience? Symptoms and signs can be imagined but only documented levels from a lab can confirm such a conjecture. It is my understanding that only chelating agents given medically can treat mercury poisoning. Could you please provide details ? Thank you.

Forget about silver amalgam fillings. They aren't a problem.

Anybody who is worried about mercury should IMMEDIATELY stop eating any fish larger than 25cm in length. The higher up the food chain, the more mercury. The diet is by far the greatest typical source of mercury unless you work in a battery or fluorescent bulb factory, and even those have gone down to almost zero mercury..

I'm sorry the link I gave doesn't seem to work. Here is a brief summary of the symptoms which I got from the Wikipedia article on mercury poisoning.

Symptoms typically include sensory impairment (vision, hearing, speech), disturbed sensation and a lack of coordination. The type and degree of symptoms exhibited depend upon the individual toxin, the dose, and the

Indeed I have had the symptoms: "sensory impairment, disturbed sensation and a lack of coordination", after having taken castor oil for years all these symptoms have disappeared.

Yes you may had these symptoms but were they from documented mercury poisoning? Did you have lab analysis confirming this? Most cases of organic mercury poisoning are from consumption of contaminated fish. Was this the case with you? I seem to detect pseudoscience here.

I'm skeptical about all this because you haven't supplied any documentation of a medical diagnosis of mercury poisoning. Without this your claims of mercury poisoning are simply conjecture. This could be hypochondriac thinking. Sorry to suggest that but I really would like that information. Thanks.

Since decades I refuse to eat any form of fish. But in almost every tooth I have had a silver amalgam filling that were removed without any protective measures; and this was the cause of my intoxication.

Well one thing led to another. To reiterate Susie it is just implausible to think that dental amalgam can lead to mercury poisoning. Otherwise a large percentage of the population would be suffering a similar plight. I ask again did a physician make a diagnosis of mercury poisoning? If not it is merely you yourself who did. You know what they say about a doctor who treats himself having a fool for a patient. No offense intended.

I see that here in Germany this is different im comparison to your country, for here there exist many people suffering upon the problems with dental amalgam, especially mercury poisoning.

^^^^ very unlikely

Countries in Europe that have stopped using amalgam is because of environmental reasons and ground water, NOT personal health problems.

The mercury released from silver amalgam is released in vapor form and basically is exhaled and the amounts are very low..

Mercury toxicity generally is from working with mercury or eating large fish.

The question remains however, why aren't millions of people affected by dental amalgam? Second, perhaps more germane to your case is the fact that you haven't supplied us with the proof of your illness. You simply haven't said that medical science has corroborated your own self diagnosis. Or has it? Please provide documentation.

For me it is not possible to provide the desired documentation for the doctor in question died some years ago and the office of this one does no more exist.

If you were indeed diagnosed with mercury poisoning wouldn't they have suggested a conventional treatment of detoxification? I can't imagine any physician not doing so. Check the link I supplied to see what the treatment options are. Besides the doctors records should be available even now. I don't mean to harass you about this but I'm pretty fascinated that conventional treatment wasn't offered.

First, that does not appear to be a refereed journal article.

Second, they make mention of using composites instead of amalgam. They make no mention of the fact that it takes far more time and expertise to place a well done composite than an amalgam and the effects of a poorly done composite are greatly increased future decay on the tooth among other pulpal problems.

Third, and I like this one for people who are always worried about things they THINK they know about, but actually only know enough to be dangerous is that the epoxide resin that binds the composite together and to the tooth (that includes the cements used on all porcelain crowns and porcelain laminates) are ESTROGENIC! That leaves us with gold for tooth restorations and crowns. No more bonding! How's that for the "think they know it alls?"

Finally, as Liquidsky asked, why aren't there millions of people with this problem?

Like I have posted in other threads, my father in law is a periodontist and his wife is an oral pathologist. I have gleaned a lot about dentistry after over 25 years at their dinner table.

The mind is the strongest organ in the body. If one ruminates and cogitates on mercury poisoning for over seventy years, it can do things to body parts that might appear impossible to the less experienced. At his age, Ricini would have been born during WWII and spent his childhood in a homeland ravaged by war and all of its toxins and pollutants. Medical care for children may not have been the nation's highest priority when rebuilding began. No telling how many allergies he may have had at one time in his life. But despite the adversity of early life, he is here living high in the mountains and avoiding fish. And he is able to regularly consume a quantity of castor oil that most of us would never consider. One highly toxic extract from castor beans is ricin, from whence he takes his screen name. If it works for him, more power to him.

I in no way mean disrespect for Ricini's obsession with castor oil. It doesn't do it for me but if it does for him more power to him. My interest is in what he claims to have treated with it.

His regimen isn't just the castor oil, it includes regular "high" enemas. I assume he means large volume. I don't think he has said anything about his solution.

Oh god how I hate castor oil. It is so yucky. Any imagined benefits regarding heavy metal intoxication are just that--imagined.

Liquidsky

In no case you are obliged to hate castor oil. If a person regards taking castor oil as yucky depends exclusively of the fact if you will be used to this or not. Concerning the taste I feel the swallowing of castor oil comparable to a neutral syrup after having mixed this with the saliva for 15 or 20 minutes

Ricini you're a better man than I. I couldn't possibly keep any amount of castor oil in my mouth for fifteen minutes. I would without doubt vomit. Perhaps this would be because of the viscosity I don't know. I don't intend to find out why anytime soon. My adventures with castor oil ended many years ago when I had to take it as a prep for an X-ray procedure.

Liquidsky

I regret that you have realized such a bad experience in taking once castor oil. In no manner I am proud upon being able to take castor oil without any problems in the described manner - in contrast to this I am very grateful that this has been possible for me. .

Quincy

Your assumption is realistic: Born in 1940 I lived to see the Second World War, especially at first the two bombing raids upon Dresden in one night, later the invasion of the Red Army and afterwards the concentration camp of the Czechs and the expulsion from my native country. As a young boy I had exclusively one alternative: to go under and to die or to survive, this under the most wicked circumstances. - This may be the cause, that for me it has been not the worst experience in my life to get used in taking castor oil.

Oh Ricini what travails you have had. I'm so sorry that you have had such a difficult early life. It is a testament to your courage that you have survived and done so well for yourself. I wish nothing but the best for you.

My wife, despite being born and raised in the USA, is glad never to have been given castor oil in case of constipation. She was given other laxatives (prune juice and Fletcher's Castoria, as she recalls) and warm water enemas.

Pecan

I suppose that your wife has never experienced and feeled in which manner castor oil may be taken in an appreciate manner. Exclusively in this case a person will be able to like the special feeling in cleansing the bowels completely by swallowing castor oil
