Healing with turpentine
http://www.soul-guidance.com/health/turpentine.html
I know, sounds crazy, i just went down this rabbit hole….turp is very good for worms, lice and apparently scabies.
I started a turp trip a week or two ago…very small dose (1/2 teaspoon) …shit is vile. if you do it, make sure you get "pure gum spirtits / food grade" not shit in a metal can from a hardware store.
Amazon sells and ships via prime.
READ A LOT.
All the "reliable" sources will tell you poison, but if you look a little further, you'll see it's been used for a long time in small doses…basically got phased out b/c of Merck and Rockafeller advent into petroleum based pharmaceuticals.
Like anything, too much aspirin will kill you so will too much of this….

As with all products, health or toxicity is a matter of dosage. One tablet of Aspirin, for example, can diminish pain, fever, or inflammation, but twenty tablets will cause problems. The same with natural products. Too much turpentine will cause adverse reactions. It is necessary to be aware of the possible dangers of too much turpentine, because turpentine is a refined and strong essential oil.
A lot of people seem to think that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers turpentine to be poisonous and that it will kill you if you consume even one drop, but that is a misinterpretation of the data.
The FDA lists turpentine in Food Additives Permitted For Direct Addition To Food For Human Consumption. This is a list of natural flavoring substances and natural adjuvants that may be safely used in food. Source: [Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 21, Volume 3] [Revised as of April 1, 2017] [CITE: 21CFR172.510]
In regard to using turpentine in medicines, the FDA has been restricting the use of turpentine as an ingredient.
In Turpentine, Review of Toxicological Literature, by Karen E. Haneke, M.S., 2002) it is mentioned that:
"In a broad effort to remove ineffectual ingredients in non-prescription drugs, the FDA began the review of all non-prescription drugs in 1972 (FOI Services, 1989, 1990). In 1987, turpentine oil was considered by the FDA to be a "nonmonograph" ingredient in cough suppressant formulations and not to be used as such without FDA approval (Washington Drug Letter, 1987). Furthermore, in 1989, the FDA ruled that only one ingredient (guaifenesin) was effective as a cough expectorant. All formulations containing turpentine oil had to be reformulated within 12 months, or have sales halted (FOI Services, 1989). Turpentine oil was also banned for use in nasal decongestant medications unless the manufacturer could prove to the FDA that it was safe and effective as a nasal decongestant (FOI Services, 1990).
"In 1992, the FDA proposed banning 415 ingredients in over-the-counter medications because they were not shown to be safe and effective for their stated claims (FDA, 1992). Turpentine was listed as one of the ingredients to be banned for treatment of fever blisters, cold sores, insect bites and stings, menstrual pain, and treatment for poison ivy, oak, and sumac. Most of the ingredients had been in use prior to 1962, when a change in the law required drug manufacturers to submit proof of effectiveness for new drug products. No further information on this action was found."
In the Code of Federal Regulations of 2017 (CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21), turpentine oil is approved by the FDA for these medicinal purposes:
Nasal Decongestant Drug Products, for Expectorant Drug Products
Fever Blister and Cold Sore Treatment Drug Products
Insect Bite and Sting Drug Products
Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac Drug Products, for Insect Bite and Sting Drug Products
for Counterirritant Drug Products.
If you are familiar with Vicks VapoRub, did you know that it contains turpentine oil, although it is listed as inactive ingredient. VapoRub is indicated for use temporarily relief of cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation associated with the common cold. It also temporarily relieves minor aches and pains of muscles and joints.
