On the "rabbit trail" found a lot of interesting info on 100%pure gum spirits of turpentine. You must have good working bowels before trying it....at least 3 movements a day...(Which means I can't try it at this point, but hopefully will find something soon that will help the constipation. Google Dr. Jenifer Daniels MD...she has written a book called "Turpentine, the miracle medicine" and a book called "The Lethal Dose, Murder by medicine is no Accident" . I watched an interview that she had with someone in the UK about her findings and it was very interesting. Getting the turpentine book and will let you know if it is a good one for you all to read.
