Use hot castor oil packs over the abdomen. This will soften the scar tissue and allow it to be absorbed by the body over time. I had one acquaintance to whom I recommended this as he said he needed surgery every year for abdominal adhesions. When I asked him how he was doing about 2 years later he informed me he hadn't needed surgery because he had been doing hot castor oil packs on his abdomen. (That's because I told you to do it dude! How soon they forget!... ;-))
Fold two or 3 thicknesses of flannel cloth large enough to cover the abdomen. Saturate it with castor oil. Warm the pack. Place it over the abdomen while lying down and put plastic over it. Put a heating pad over all and remain for about an hour. I would do it 3 days and then nothing for the rest of the week. Then repeat the same each week. It will probably take a few months. Then do some maintenance packs. This is a messy process. Protect your bed or whatever with old towels or an old sheet and put plastic over it. Put an old towel over the plastic to lie on to keep you from sticking to the plastic and to absorb any castor oil which will run around to your back. Put the pack on your abdomen. Cover with plastic sheet. Cover with an electric heating pad. Bake for one hour for three consecutive days each week. You can save the pack and reuse it for many times. I'm not sure how many exactly. Then you would have to get new cloth and saturate with new oil. In the meantime, just add oil as needed to the pack. Probably last a month in the fridge the way you would be using it. I would supplement internally with whatever will help, maybe others can advise. I would take plenty or vitamins E, A and C and multivitamins. In your case you may want liquid vitamins or supplements. I would investigate taking aloe vera or perhaps noni juice to repair the internal damage... Sounds like you've had this for 10 to 20 years. You're not going to get over it in a weekend by popping a pill, but if it was me I would absolutely be doing the hot castor oil packs for 2 to 6 months. Castor oil packs were popularized by Edgar Cayce. Castor oil can be bought at Baar Products on-line or by catalog. Somewhere around $10 per pint. I'm sure there are other sources too. Drug stores will sell small quantities for internal use for a lot of money. Don't shop there... Good luck, Dan CS>CS and DMSO; OT: need Scars/Adhesions help From: silversurfer1952 . (view other messages by this author) Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 20:54:54 Hi everyone, I'd like to get some DMSO but have no idea where to look for it. I'm a city slicker and don't know of any farm supply stores near where I live, which is in Montreal. Can anyone suggest where I might buy this stuff? OT: Also, hoping this isn't the wrong place to ask... I have extensive abdominal scarring, internal and external, from high dose radiation and from surgery. I have internal adhesions which has resulted in my not being able to eat a healthy diet anymore... long gone are the days that I can eat salads, lightly cooked veggies, whole grains, etc. Foods like these cause my small intestine to torque and block. It's an awful thing to go through. I had the radiation 20 years ago and the surgery 10 years ago, and it's ever since the surgery that I have trouble with diet and adhesions... even had two surgeries (one emergency) to remove the adhesions but that just creates more. Anyhow, I'm wondering if any of you might know of some "alternative" means of dealing with abdominal adhesions. It would be a god-send to be able to eat veggies again! Juicing alone just doesn't staisfy. best regards to all. This is an amazing list. Elle -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
