But Marge, according to that self proclaimed doctor named Gary Young, a Lakota

chief taught him the " ancient Rain Drop Therapy " technique of dropping

irritating and sensitizing undiluted essential oils onto the spine to cure

scoliosis - and he'd never ever lie, would he? ;-p (of course I'm being a

sarcastic wise*ss right now, I just couldn't help myself) Anyway, what I'm

getting at is maybe the guy who wrote the Wintergreen article you were

responding to above read some of that kind of fiction, hmmmm ....

most of the birch and wintergreen oils on the market contain synthetic

methyl sal...

 

and many over the counter products contain methyl sal... some probably do

contain Acetylsalicylic Acid...but that IS aspirin... methyl sal IS NOT

aspirin...I'm sorry.

 

also...full agreement that it must NEVER be used orally...it would kill.

 

but the writer doesn't mention the fact that the methyl sal (whether

natural OR synthetic) does penetrate the skin. and is accumulated in the body.

I don't know why this comes after the statement about native americans,

since they didn't use essential oils...
