Doc Shillington- Substitutes

December 30, 2001

Hi Doc

You gave me a very goods answer and advice about my Pompholyx excema.

I have done the liver-gallbladder cleanse you suggested with olive

oil and lemon juice.

Due to the deep tissue repair oil, I havent made this. I have read

that one shouldn't care if one or two items are missing, but fulfill

anyway. This tonic calls for 68 fluid ounces, and I cannot get hold

of wintergreen oil and DMSO. These two should be 40 ounces of the

total liquid in this oil, about 58 %. I guess that will be to much to

leave out. Another question, I have taken for granted that you dont

mean wintergreen essential oil, but an infusion or a pressed oil?

Wintergreen eo is obtainable, but I have read that it is toxic for

internal use.

Arnica Flowers dont grow in my area of the country, and the pharmacy

just sell a tincture. There are very strict regulations in Norway due

to herbs and essential oils. As an example neither tea tree oil, nor

St.Johns worth are allowed for sale in shops any more, only in the

pharmacy. But I can pick kilos of more wildgrowing and more powerful

St.Johns Worth than the grown one they sell at the pharmacy. Stupid,

but thats the way it is.

The question is, do you have any suggestions about substitutes for

these items?

The Jojoba & Tea tree oil combination I could not find anything about.

What you said about the liver and bladder made sence to me. I

remember I had a problem when I was a kid. I wettened my bed from

time to time during the night, I believe it was until I was about 10

years before it stopped. And stress- yes. And I am going to do

something about it. Although it means a lot less money in the pocket.

Dear Heidi,

I am totally unfamiliar with the herbal scene in Norway so can not advise you there. My motto is, if I can't find an organic grower, wildcrafter or organic supplier, I grow it myself and make it myself. Sometimes this takes a lot of research and hard work, but it usually pays off. You are right about the oils below and that amount of oil missing would change the entire workability of the formula. I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you other than to suggest you make your own ;o)

Love,

Doc
