Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 When Sandy first said she was going to this guy and that he told her to use these patches to draw out the toxins, I had the same thought. On the other hand, she looks physically thinner in just days and the scale agrees, it's not just an optical illusion. Plus, she's a truthful person so I'm fascinated by this thing about her patches being black and tarry in the morning when they were white and clean at bedtime. - Anna Tamara Briggs writes: > I don't know and I haven't heard of these patches.. but on first reading it > sure looks like snake oil to me. > > Tamara > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 A friend was telling me about these " patches, " like white paper, that you apply to the soles of your feet at night and leave on all night to draw out toxins. She claims that they go on clean and white but are black and tarry when you take them off. She also lost 5 pounds in one week without dieting, eating what she normally eats, but just doing these patches and having some wheatgrass juice. Well, I've done wheatgrass juice and didn't lose any weight so I know it wasn't the cause... She's going to bring me more information about the patches from the naturopathic doctor that sells them in El Paso (60 miles away) but I was curious if anyone else had heard of them. - Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 I haven't done it as yet. Dr. Christopher suggests it as part of the Cold Sheets. I have been desperate enough to do the whole thing, but I have thought about doing this part. I think I would use "unpetroleum" or a oil and beeswax salve instead. What do you think? "Garlic Paste: To prepare a garlic paste for an adult, use 1 part garlic and 1 part petroleum jelly. Reduce the amount of garlic for a child or small infant to 1 part garlic to 3 parts petroleum jelly. For an adult, you will want about 1 cup of paste.Crush or finely grate peeled garlic cloves. Blend with an equal amount of petroleum jelly.""Step Six: Garlic Paste:With your patient lying down in bed, thoroughly massage their feet from the ankles down with olive oil. Allow as much of this oil to be absorbed into the skin as possible, covering the soles, sides, and entire foot area. After you have massaged each foot, prepare a strip of cotton that is wide enough to cover the bottom of the foot with ½ inch of the garlic paste. When this is done, place the strip of cotton with the past on the sole of the foot, then take a roll of two-inch gauze and gently wrap the foot to secure the strip of garlic to the foot. With this in place, gently pull over the foot and gauze bandage a large white cotton wool sock to hold everything in place.Do not allow the paste to get up on the sides or on top of the foot. Put it only on the sole." Suzanne Nottmeier <suziesgoats wrote: Becky, so do you wrap your feet and your feet sweat? The New Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Well, beeswax and petroleum jelly are two different things... the effect may not be the same.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I am not one to usually change an Rx, but I do believe that olive oil and beeswax would be an acceptable alternative. I do wonder though, why he used petroleum jelly? Was it just to help keep the garlic on the feet? Is there some property that is more beneficial in petroleum jelly as opposed to olive oil and beeswax? Anyone know?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Normal baby oil that you buy from the drug store is. If it was purchased from a health food or natural store it may be a seed oil.
