VA as a weapon
beef tallow / beeswax or lanolin are better
Quote from lil chick on September 19, 2024, 5:30 am@joe2 thanks! I really don't know though. Interesting how it says that vaseline blocks detox. Perhaps that is why it works so good! haha
Yeh. Seems most things that block detox do so because they are toxins. Some more some less difficult to detox. Look how Linus Pauling did with decades of vitamin C stopping his liver from killing him by depositing more toxins in his prostate.
Liver does not detox while intoxing. PAH's seem pretty toxic. Worked a few years in a few industries. Carpenters usually start out young working outside framing houses and such. Heavy difficult dangerous work. They usually migrate in as skills improve and seniority builds. Inside trim carpenters live longer than framers. Some migrate further in to cabinet shops. Everyone knows a cabinet guy who is dying young with raspy lungs. Plenty of crazy strong glues in cabinet shops that are not used inside a house installing kitchens and door trim.
As a canary in the coal mine, tiny tiny residual amounts of dye (also petroleum industry based) can give me a rash. The odor of pumping gas has brought on raynauds in my fingers. But yet I have only ever had beneficial reactions to vaseline like speedy healing and relief from soreness. I don't know why! I agree it sounds bad on the surface but my results with it are very good.
(shrugs?). I just don't know! I really don't.
I do know that docs used to realize that more "synthetic" skin products could be less reactive for their patients with skin sensitivities. And I can see why now. Oils from plants and animals can have ?defensive? ?offensive? (like VA for example) toxins in them.
While elements that come out of the earth may or may not be toxic, (baking soda: non-toxic, radon: toxic). but earth isn't purposefully out to get you lol. Maybe vaseline is purified enough to be a good thing. It is "triple purified" LOL
Again, I'm just going by me-sensitive-me. The way I react to it is by healing up wonderfully. LOL. I use it in tiny amounts and don't worry.

Healing outside perhaps. Curious what the liver is doing with the increase of toxins, PAH's. Is this another form of eating eggs to relieve symptoms of detoxing retinoids? Eat more retinoids to relieve pain of retinoids?
Perhaps this all has something to do with Garrett recommending the most refined versions of oils when we use olive or avocado oil for cooking. The whiter or clearer the better.
I just read your latest post about a guy who heavily uses charcoal and can't help but wonder if there are some parallels between the usage of a very purified carbon-based "fossil fuel" product (ie vaseline) and burned up wood. Do you see what I'm saying? Carbon.
Aren't we supposed to believe this fossil-fuel stuff is decayed dinosaur swamps?

Do you have any references I could read about how Vitamin C prevents detox or causes toxins to stay in the liver? I am interested in this topic.

Ok they are both carbohydrate based. Does that mean that charcoal is loaded with and burdening me with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons?
To get back to the subject at hand: does the body send out VA as a weapon? and when overloaded, do we suffer from too much friendly fire?
I want to talk about how I nicked my knuckle on a grocery store shelf this week. Ouch. Gross right?! You start to wonder what all you've just been exposed to... every germ and parasite and chemical known to man... as you look down and see you cut yourself on a grocery shelf.
In the past, such a nick would have gotten all red and sore, itchy and puffy. It would have hurt when hot water hit it. I would have possibly gotten to the point where I would have hit it with a bit of antibiotic ointment just to be sure.
But nothing. It just scabbed over neatly and went back to sleep.
why?
Post Script: on the vaseline thing...another product that I like now that I never would have liked before is white vinegar! Like vaseine, it has bad rep. But it seems to be much more "pure" than apple cider vinegar. Again, I use it in such tiny drips and drops (on my body) that I don't worry. I use it in large amounts in laundry, toilet cleaning...
