CASTOR OIL HAS MANY USES

Gladys Taylor McGarey, M.D., MD(H), a pioneer in holistic medicine since 1957, uses castor oil concepts in her consulting practice in Living Medicine.

When Doctors Alyce and Elmer Green researched the field of biofeedback the statement "thoughts are things" and the power of visualization found it added new life to this power of intention as usable tools in the field of medicine. It talked about the ability of the body to regenerate itself. When Robert O. Becker came out with his book "The Body Electric" he described the ability of living animals to re-grow limbs through the use of low electrical stimuli. It made the field of medicine comprehend the extent to which our skin is a vital organ for assimilating and eliminating nutrients and toxins. It is now accepted and proven that dermal patches on the skin are useful in the science of medicine.

Dr. McGarey tells of a friend who had been diagnosed with breast cancer requiring the full gamut of conventional therapeutic modalities. At her first injection of Taxol, she asked the therapist what Taxol was made from and was delighted to be told that the active ingredient was from the yew tree. Dr. McGarey's parents (both medical doctors) had used and applied castor oil packs in their practice and was familiar with the many uses of castor oil as medical missionaries in India. Childhood memories from her parents about castor oil came back. It had been called "The palm of Christ." She began visualizing tiny palms of Christ circulating through her body taking hold of cancer cells and eliminating them, and added this valuable tool. As this medication is being used, millions of lives have been saved because scientists were able to combine the product of the yew tree with the oil of the castor bean plant and use it as a therapy for a disease that has become rampant in our world.
