I always recommend buying Diamond G Forest brand of pure gum Spirits turpentine from Georgia and the United States simply because it is pure it actually smells like a very mild and nice or Sambuca.

The problem with the brands you buy in the hardware stores and places like Home Depot or paint supply shops artist shops is that many of those are almost always a waste product from paper mills and are processed through petroleum distillates meaning they are POISONOUS and can make you go blind and actually can KILL you.. I urge you to look for the videos here of Dr. Jennifer Daniels who interviewed many people from the families who grew up using pure gum Spirits turpentine for many generations and she talks about how the government tried to wage a war against them in a similar way to the American Indians where the children were not only taken out of schools and separated from regular kids but they were actually taken away from their parents... the government wanted to crush the turpentine culture because they knew that had an enemy meaning competition at a time when the government first got involved with the big pharmaceutical drug companies during the 1930s.. so I am sorry that I don't want to explain more..

I am exhausted from trying to educate people to be smart and don't ruin it for everybody else who know how to use the gum Spirit turpentine. ( there are extremists out there who are if they're told to do a half a teaspoon of something will do 5 tablespoons get ill and complain on YouTube ... no kidding really they bought it at Home Depot.. no wonder it made them sick...how a product is processed often will determine whether it is food grade edible and medicinal or not... do your research don't listen to the naysayers who don't know what they're talking about. Listen to Dr. Jennifer Daniels and like I said do not buy it from those stores I mentioned because those are processed through petroleum distillates...watch her vid called ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION AND BRAIN PARASITES.. ( she's talking about candida which the majority of Americans actually have )..pure gum Spirit turpentine is nothing more than to pine trees what maple syrup is to maple trees..

...if you're going to do the candida cleanse please be careful and just test your body's response first.. what I have done is take no more than 1/4 teaspoon of it with sugar and then I skipped a day, then I repeated this process two more times in one week and then I didn't do any more gum Spirit turpentine internally.

I watched my body's response, I looked at my feces I noticed for several weeks something weird and then when I Googled it, it turns out to be a fluke parasite.. all I could tell you is this stuff is powerful and really works ..

..what nobody is going to tell you is that when you do any of these powerful natural healers you're going to get the herxheimer effect or what they call getting herxed which means you have to flush these toxins out of your body and you must facilitate this or you will be really ill if you have poisons or toxins ..for example I have Lyme disease as well as Epstein-Barr ...anytime I've done natural true healers I became very very ill and aching all over and bedridden yet once again.

...the best way to flush out these toxins is to either do some bentonite clay.. a tablespoon in a tall glass of warm water you could drink a very quickly.. you can also try some finely ground diatomaceous Earth.. what a powerful healer real pure gum Spirits turpentine is.

When you hear the people saying how bad it is for you, you must separate it from the kind that you buy in places like Home Depot ..

please always keep this in mind as currently there is a massive campaign to get people to stop looking into gum Spirit turpentine you'll see a lot of vids against it.

Yes you can. Walter Last, a healer has some info. on this but I remember reading that in southern Germany where this therapy is and was, used a lot, a dog was mentioned. This may or may not be in German but I have used it on my big dog as well.

I use it once a week in a small amount.

I put 1.5ml of pure gum spirits of turpentine on a dog cookie and give it to my dog every week. Wait around 2 minutes so the turpentine penetrates well into the cookie before feeding it.

Keeps her parasite free!

For ex, my ChihuChua is large (size S sweater), weighs 9.8lbs, but 1mL seems too little?

And I thought Turpentine came from pine but some say it comes from petroleum, isn't that dangerous (where we get gasoline from)?

(PS - She's always outsmarting me in terms of food cuz she's got a perfect nose. Any other ways to trick them into eating this?)

Thanks so much for all the info you share and how to do this turpentine cleanse properly. I will read through again, just in case I missed it, but do you - or do you know a good source to help with cleansing my dogs too? They are both about 70 lb., 4 & 9 years of age. I recently had a nutritional and environmental screening done and both tested positive for candida. They younger one is having chronic skin reactions that I thought could be a flea allergy, and that was not the case. I also feed raw, but none of the meats I feed are items I feed with any regularity, so now, I'm thinking parasites... thanks for any info especially on a good way to flush the toxins once they have a treatment.

So...we're on our own.

I purchased Diamond G many years ago, and a gallon lasts a long time. I myself have taken it, for myself, for many years, using the Jennifer Daniels sugar method (a tsp of organic cane sugar, and the turpentine dribbled on top, maybe 1/2 tsp.) We all take it every night, after dinner. Like "dessert." Tastes funky at first, but then you get to love the spritely taste of a pine tree. Nobody in my house has been itching their butt during their sleep (that's the sign of worms--they like dark--until there is full moon, then they come out) for several years, so ....I guess it works.

I'm into native American medicine. I'm Swedish, but I'm not a fool. Let's all learn.

That said, I just started it on my sweet doggy, Honey Bear, a 1-year-old, 40-pound lab-retriever mix. No, she didn't have worms, but I decided to use the method for prevention.

For her, I put the turp into a 1 oz. brown jar, and every morning or night when she gets her TLC rub-down of DMSO (wherever she has injured herself runnin' 'round crazy), and I inspect her for ticks etc., then at the very end I began giving her a "treat" of a sugar cube.

I put the sugar cube (pure cane, unfortunately not organic) over the top of the 1 oz brown jar, invert quickly, and it soaks about half the cube. I set it aside until we're done. After her rub-down, she's very loving and happy, and I pop it into her mouth and rub her chin. In the beginning, she spit it out. Yuck. For about 1 week, I popped it back in. Lotsa TLC.

Now? She loves it. She looks forward to her little "dessert" and she can smell the pine coming.

Is it working? Well, she's not itching her butt either, just like the rest of us.

Is it enough for a 40-pound dog? I weigh 120 pounds, and like I said, I take it daily, 1 tsp of sugar with 1/2 tsp of pine turp. That's when I came up with the sugar cube idea. They give sugar cubes to horses, don't they?

We also put DE in her bedding. We live in a humid climate (Arkansas) that is full of ticks, chiggers, baby snakes in the garage, you name it. I purchased a dry squeeze sprayer by Dr. Killigan. (We've had some really bad ones over the years that make a mess.)

We're really big DE fans. We even take 1 tsp per day in water, for the silica (buy the food grade). One day I was outside spraying the DE on the underside of the tomato leaves, and my sweet Honey Bear was curious and stuck her head in the way. She got it straight in the eyes. No problem! Everything you read online about DE manufacturing is a bunch of #&%! . It turns out the employees who got it on their skin and eyes began to experience amazing health! Now Honey Bear loves the Dr. Killigan DE "sprayer."

Natural health is a long journey. Enjoy it!

I put it on a sore and the dog 10 months was breathing rapid and her eyes was like fixed she was hot stretching her legs out all four of them real hard and hold them way up stiff. I got it all off of her. I bathed her and she seems all right now.

I just want to know, should I stay up with her tonight and watch her and make sure she don't have any other symptoms or trimmers or anything but she's eating and she's drinking water.
