Camphor comes in several varieties. Camphor Yellow, or pure unrefined
camphor is tough to find, it's fairly toxic, and was used in illicit
drug manufacturing so (they) claim. It was also extremely medicinal in
tiny dosages, and cured cancer. Distilled White Camphor isn't toxic
unless a fairly large quantity is consumed, but then so is water,
right? This is the real stuff you find around from essential oil
companies, and is great for cleaning and working around the home, and safe.
Camphor "blocks" and other things, are almost 100% guaranteed to be
synthetic camphor, which is usually from China, and which is toxic. It
doesn't take a whole lot of the fake stuff to cause problems. Kids were
eating the blocks, and having trouble. But even this was quite rare, and
very isolated, bad parents. Other camphor, such as wood chips, edible,
and other things is really quite non-toxic.
Camphor was used when I was a kid to kill "Astral-Induced-Colds"
otherwise known as "Influenza", which means something similar "Astral
Cold" in early lingo. It was recognized (correctly) back then that these
matters were occult influenced, hence the name influenza (Night Astral
Visitation, etc). It is also recognized that it just so happens -
camphor is effective against this. Wonder why the govt. wants effective,
natural camphor out of the hands of the people? Probably why virtually
everything they 'promote' sort of sets people up for harmful occult
influence - like poisoning your body, and screwing up your meridians.
We've been setup!
Anyway, as an energy sensitive, I detect incoming cold/flu as electrical
pulses around my face. I stop them by dabbing camphor (monkey, tiger,
whatever) at specific spots on my face, and going back to sleep. Haven't
had a cold or flu in half a decade. Dab on each temple just back from
the eye, dab on your third eye, dab on your nose, under your nose as
well. You are good to go, no more 'occult' influence'za.
Camphor(the real stuff) has spiritual significance in many traditions.
Buddha called camphor one of the 7 great substances. I do recall reading
studies where camphor cured metastasized cancer through introduction to
lymph nodes. It has a ton of uses, I keep a big bottle around the home,
and it sees regular use. But edible camphor is the ticket for the
satchels I want to hang in my closet to dispel stagnant energies. in
Feng Shui, Camphor collectives negative energies of all types, and
dissolves it into the ether as it dissolves and leaves no traces.

If you feel a need for more Camphor, you can still buy it as a pure
oil or block and I suppose you can still eat it and get a buzz...or if
too much, die.
Looks as though kids were having seizure problems with the fumes.
Camphor is quite toxic, after all. Usefully toxic, with caution.
Vicks VR apparently has enough to still work and kill a mite or
tick...which was the point.
I've heard similar ruminations about how Prep H was ruined.
Might put half the blame on idiotic people?

Its the camphor in it that kills ticks, camphor is very potent. It
used to be, Vicks had a higher concentration of camphor, but the FDA
got all angry because it was curing stuff, so they limited any sale
in the US to be 10% or less refined camphor. The US version of Tiger
Balm is very poor quality, the one you get off Ebay from Thailand,
now that's the good stuff. Around 20% camphor!
If you have an asian grocery store around, you can find "Monkey
Holding Peach" which is even more potent than any of them. It's
purely medicinal, and amazing.. Stops pains in seconds, stops
headaches. I think it is around 25% camphor, along with other good
stuff in it. I have a few satchels of it around here.
Vicks today, is a distant cousin of the vastly more effective
medicinal Vicks from days past before the FDA tyranny.

I just found out that Vicks Vapo Rub kills ticks just as well as it
kills Mange mites...makes em slippery enough to tug out easy
too...and no more itching.
