5.0 out of 5 stars The healing properties of castor packs., May 25, 1998

By A Customer

Dr. William McGarey has used castor packs for over 30 years in his medical practice. His book, The Oil that Heals, is a detailed text on McCarey's research on the history of castor packs and their miraculous effect on such diseases as cancer, hepatitis, arthritis, migraines, and digestive disorders. McGarey integrates much of Edgar Cayce's knowledge of the miraculous castor plant and his extraordinary knowledge of the human body and physiology. The book is well researched and filled with case histories from patients and physicians. The Oil that Heals is a must-read for any one serious about healing their body and getting maximum benefits from this ancient oil.

4.0 out of 5 stars Apple Cider Vinegar, Move Over!, June 29, 2006

By	Ellie "Eilean Siar" (North Shore of Boston, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Directly from the ancient world, not Vermont, we bring you - Yes! Castor Oil. Not to be taken internally, in general, but applied to the skin, sometimes with wool flannel soaked in it and a heating pad on top for an hour or two. Sometimes just massaged into the skin. Many types of use are outlined in this rare, but fascinating book by an expert on its use.

Describes the many healing uses of castor oil, mostly externally applied, since ancient times as revealed by Edgar Cayce, the late american psychic, in his 'readings' to help people with their health problems. The physician author is an expert in its clinical use. Apple cider vinegar isn't the only thing that's cheap but cures so much!

It was frequently suggested as part of a larger therapy for particular disorders, so it pays the reader to consult the A.R.E.[...]to get a better idea of what his original readings were about - holistic healing, not the 'take a pill and call me in ten days' sort of healing. The human body is a highly integrated life form charged with keeping our consciousness intact as long as possible.

Cayce made a remarkable statement: there is no illness that cannot be cured using what nature has placed on the earth for our benefit. The hard part is to find where and what these healing substances and treatments are. You can join the A.R.E. for a modest contribution and benefit from their enormous knowledge and benevolent intent. They do a lot of good. What does Pfizer do for kids at camp?

Sorry, there are no claims castor oil will cure cancer, bad breath, or a broken heart. But for many of the conditions described in the book, it has promise.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Palm of Christ, October 5, 2008

By	Aristo Kouldus "golf inventor" (Salinas, Ca.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you heard of a plant from nature that was called "the Palm of Christ" because of it's healing abilities, would you be interested? I think everyone would. Therefore, everyone should read this book. Of all things nature has given us to cure man's ills castor oil is the best. And not in the way most people think. You owe it to EVERYONE you know to realize how this simple miracle can heal as Christ did. AMAZING!
