Mueller Hg80 Knee Stabilizer

Mueller Hg80 Knee Stabilizer, X-Large, Black,  1-Count BoxI've been quite a good customer for amazon for a while now, and I've purchase a lot of stuff and so far, I've been quite satisfied with the items I have received. BUT this seller is unbelievable, I order these knee stabilizers (I order two) and what I received was two COMPLETE DIFFERENT KNEE STABILIZERS. When I got them I was at the US at the moment, but I'm currently living in Costa Rica, so when I contact them, they asked me to return the items via UPS otherwise they were not going to do anything. Guess what? the items cost me $50, and UPS was charging me $30 to send the items back, and the seller clearly pointed out that I was not going to get a refund on that. Then I contact Amazon's customer service and it was pathetic, apparently they rather lose a customer than protect a CRIMINAL seller that runs under FALSE ADVERTISING, because they DID agree that they have posted the wrong picture of the item, and STILL won't return my money. Go and purchase somewhere else, you've been warned!

I had previously purchased medium Mueller Hg80 hinged and flexible steel braid knee braces that had top and bottom adjustment straps and found them to work well except for their tendency to slide down my leg. My knee size is at the borderline between small and medium for these products. I therefore ordered two of these cheaper Hg80 flexible steel braided knee braces in the small size. I did not know that they did not have any adjustment straps. These knee braces slide down my leg as soon as I start walking and I am constantly pulling them back up by grabbing the top of the knee brace and my pant leg. The knee braces have some ribbed material on the top and bottom of the brace to try and keep them from sliding but they are inadequate. The inside of one of the braces started to come apart after my first use.

Long sleeve with medial and lateral adequate support. (Not steel brace) slimming shape to knee. Nice gel absorption protection padded ring around patella incase of a fall or contact. It is not overly stretchy so correct sizing matters. It is the best solid sleeve support I have used. I now have both knees with TKR's.. I have used all types of braces in pre and post surgery from $700 custom braces to the this and including the other mueller hinged Hg80. I like this the best. I am an aggressive tennis playing senior who wears this stabilizer version of the Hg80 on both knees to play tennis. They are strong manouvorable well supporting. They stay up and give you confidence.

I was at the top edge of the measurement for the XL size, and ordered it anyway. Could not get it on, because the diameter of the lower opening was too small. If I had managed to get it on, I suspected that I would have circulation problems. When I attempted to return it, I discovered that it was non-returnable; Amazon graciously refunded the price without a return, since it was obviously of no use to me. Sorry it did not work, happy that the purchase was through Amazon, and the credit was handled promptly with absolutely no hassle.

Maybelline Shine Free Oil Control Pressed Powder 1 ea

Maybelline Shine Free Oil Control Pressed Powder, Soft Cameo - 1 eaI've been using this stuff for years. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT ! It sets my foundation great.. & is even great without foundation & still has great coverage! I also use it for touch ups.. A LOT! It lasts quite awhile & doesn't feel heavy or cakey at all. I definitely recommend for someone who is looking for something that is JUST as good as high end powders! The only downside is the powder puff it comes with falls apart VERY easily. I bought my last compact just 3 weeks ago & its completely falling apart! But it's an easy fix because I just use my blush brush to apply it for touch ups. Just wish it came with a better quality puff. It's worth it though for the LOW PRICE! I just recommend tossing the puff & buying a better quality one that can be washed over & over or simply by using a powder/blush brush. Other than that I love this stuff!!

I am pleased with this purchase because it's easy to buy and to use. It may not be the most expensive powder, but it does the job.

Renew Life First Cleanse

Renew Life First CleanseI was really surprised by the negative reviews. I have been using supplements for many years now and the renew first cleanse and cleanse smart have been part of that discipline.

I am a wife and mom, therapist, fitness instructor and overall health food enthusiast. I have done extensive research on many different antioxidants, herbs, minerals and whole foods with healing properties. I do believe these renew life products are beneficial to the body and facilitate holistic cleansing. (I can only comment on the first cleanse and cleanse smart formulas because these are the only ones I use, but I have been using them literally for years with good results)

I really think the key here is understanding what cleansing is all about. These formulas are not about traditional colon flushing. In fact, the evening formula, focused on the colon specifically, does not use any of the more typical yet more harsh laxative herbs that most colon cleansers use-like psyllium husk, cascara sagrata, senna, etc.-which are good if you are really constipated, but many people find too strong unless in small doses. It does use magnesium hydroxide (think milk of magnesia) which is a naturally occurring mineral, an antacid which also increases water in the intestines. It is an important mineral for the body, especially the muscles and nerves. It CAN have a laxative effect-causing diarrhea in some people--which in turn causes cramping due to loss of potassium. If you add potassium (eat a banana or two perhaps) the cramping subsides-and taking one pill every other day until your system finds the right dosage should eliminate the diarrhea.

The dosage in the cleanse smart (2 capsules) is less than half of the other ingredients and also a little over half the DV for magnesium for a day. It is a relatively small amount--nonetheless, you CAN overdose on it in very large quantities, and you dont want to take anything without knowing your body and specific medical needs. I would say to talk to a medical doctor, but most of them simply dismiss herbal supplements without understanding them and prefer processed pharmaceuticals, which, in many people's opinions, clogs your body further! But this, of course, is a personal choice and responsibility.

Cleanse Smart and first cleanse has added aloe, one of the greatest lubricants in nature, and ginger, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial root to this nighttime colon formula. But even better, it has Triphala, which is an Ayurvedic blend of three (dried) fruits, one to correlate to each dosha and therefore balance the body and encourage homeostasis. It is said to support the entire digestive and gastro intestinal function while strengthening nutritional assimilation.

That is really what cleansing is about on a greater level than just treating constipation. It is about cleansing and nourishing all of the body systems that have been damaged and are malfunctioning due to years of toxic build up. A lot of this is focused in the colon because a blocked colon does not allow for assimilation of nutrients -this means that if you arent already sort of cleaned out, even the herbs in the cleanse smart formulas will not be as effective.

When I first started out, I used the first cleanse and started making changes to my diet slowly. I waited a week or so and then repeated the first cleanse. Now I use the cleanse smart on a need basis-when Ive eaten too much or unhealthy food too frequently-or when I notice I havent had a bowel movement that day. Some days I only take one am pill and one pm pill and Im good.

I especially like the am formula because it has a really great blend of herbs for the other important organs and body systems-dandelion root is a blood cleanser, milk thistle for the liver, hawthorn berry for the heart, etc. If you just google all of the herbs in the formulas, you will see why I think the products are so great.

If you have not had a good experience with these products, I would say try again with a different understanding of what cleansing is-a long-term process of eliminating toxic build up and reestablishing homeostasis or equilibrium in the body so that all systems are functioning synergistically. I have tried many products and these are really some of the best for that purpose. But it has to be part of a whole life-style change-choosing healthier, organic foods more often while reducing chemicals, processed foods, simple white sugars and flours, etc, drinking lots and lots of water, adding antioxidants to prevent further build-up, exercising and relaxing the body-getting enough sleep, laughter, spiritual nourishment and practice. Cleansing is more than just about taking a few pills and expecting a miracle.

I used the First Cleanse product exactly as directed. I found it worked to my expectations which was that it would gently encourage bowel and other digestive organ elimination. I did not expect to miraculously lose weight or regrow my hair; I did not have unreasonably optimistic expectations.

The purpose of this product is to prepare the body for the more potent, 30-day Cleanse Smart program (which I just started). So if your expectation is to gain the benefits of this program using the two-week First Cleanse product, then surely you will be disappointed.

If the directions are read (and I'm not sure that some of the readers have done so), one would see that for added bowel cleansing, a product called Cleanse Smart (of which a sample was included) should be used to relieve constipation and for added stimulation. In addition, FiberSmart (a soluable/insoluable flax product) should be used to absorb toxins released from the cleanse as well as to provide the mass needed for effective intestinal elimination.

Those who have written saying "they did get the expected results" are probably correct because they didn't read the directions and didn't use the supplementary products recommended. Those who wrote that "they achieved mild results", should realize that is expected since this is a preparatory product for a stronger program; they should now move on to the Cleanse Smart program.

Everyone's body chemistry and balance is different and if the product makes you feel peculiar or dizzy, then it should be stopped (again as directed).

Happy Cleansing!

The second day of taking this cleanse my boyfriend and I were able to realize that this was going to be a great idea. We both had a bit more energy. By day 8 we were energized more more each day (probably due to all the organics in this cleanse) ... it was a great experience and we are going to continue doing cleanses (theres a bunch of them) Im looking into a vitaimin (or daily cleanse) to keep the energy going! Great experience!

I bought this for my boyfriend and myself to try a cleanse. I was pretty strict about drinking lots of water and eating non processed, healthy foods, and no alcohol for the 2 weeks. I thought it did a good job for a first time cleanse. I felt better after it was over and had lost about 2 lbs (I'm about 115-120 normally). I consider this pretty effective but other people might have their own thoughts on that. My boyfriend felt like it didn't do much for him, but then again he didn't change his diet or eating habits for it. He did notice more "expulsion" than usual.

Overall I think it is a great option for someone wanting to try a cleanse for the first time. It is gentle and trains you for a regular strength one. Next time I will try a full test version! I was too scared to before trying first cleanse.

First off, before you put any type of pills in your system-you should thoroughly research what exactly is in each pilland who should not take the pills, side effects, etc. Just because it's over the counter doesn't necessarily mean it's safe for you.

I've done cleanses in the pastand felt like I was just taking over priced sugar pills.

That's until I did my research on detox/body cleansing. Detox/cleansing is not just about taking a few pill for 7,14, or 30 days and hoping for more "elimination". Detox is really about cleaning your inner body (liver), outter body (skin, hair), lowering stress level, maintaining a good sleep cycle, and eating a proper detox diet.

If you think you are going to take a few pills and not follow the rest of those points (for however many days), you will be highly disappointedand yesprobably experience negative/opposite side effects.

Detoxing is perfect is you are about to start a diet, get into a healthier routine, or want a positive change in your life. But DON'T buy this product if you think you are going to lose 20 pounds in 14 days.

Also, when you start a detox, expect to get sick. On day 2 of taking these pills I had a pretty bad cold for 2 days. And I hardly get sick. But I knew it was my body basically resetting itself, and getting rid of the crap I've put in it recently.

Along with a detox kit like this, I would highly recommend getting a detox book. A good one I found is Detox by Sara Rose. It's simple to read and covers about every point of a detox and why you should do it (what to expect, what not to expect).

Did I lose a couple pounds? Yes...even though I didn't want to. Did I drink TONS of water? Yes. Even with the cold I got, I was waking up feeling great, like I could take on the world...not sluggish, wanting more sleep--and this is in the winter time! My head also felt clearer, more open for thinking, and positive mood all around.

Overall, product is good. It's a great addition to a full detox because it consolidates all the supplements you should take into a nice pill.

Sting-Kill Sting-Kill Disposable

Sting-Kill Disposable Swabs - 5 EaThis product is wonderful especially when used with baking soda. I use the swabs to coat the sting area with the green liquid then add baking soda to make a paste and leave the paste on for 15 minutes. It is amazing and I have seen little ones stop crying instantly. The the sting kill numbs the pain and the baking soda neutralizes the acid in the venom. I use old film cases to hold my perfect bee sting kits. Just drop in a vial of sting kill, fill with baking soda, and toss it in your purse. A bee sting remedy only helps if you have it with you. I have given away so many of these I am on line ordering more. I REALLY works!

When I first purchased this product, a pharmacist explained how insect stings produce their nasty discomfort. I had brushed by a hornet's nest receiving multiple stings. I went directly to a pharmacy. The pharmacist asked, "How long has it been?" Twenty minutes was my answer. He handed me the Sting Kill and said, "Put it on right now. It would have worked better earlier, but it will still help some now."

When you are stung, the insect's bite releases a protein. That protein reacts in the body and produces the swelling and irritation. Sting Kill breaks up the insect's protein and whoola, no sting reaction.

When I ran out of Sting Kill, I could not find it anywhere locally. I was amazed to find it on Amazon. After the last two bites, a yellow jacket and a wasp, I immediately applied Sting Kill keeping the area wet for some time. The next day, I had only a very small amount of soreness, no swelling, no reaction.

The first time I use this product I used it on a 3 yr old child that had a bug bite right by his eye. Not knowing if it would work I applied very little to his eye making sure it didn't touch his eye. The next day the childs mother approached me and wanted the name of the product and where she could get it. She stated that she had never used something that worked so fast and that took the bite completely away. I thought it was too good to be true until today I used it at a family picnic on myself and a different 3 yr old child. I had 3 bites on my leg and he had 5 around his ear. Without his mother or I realizing it, the bites had just disappeared. I will never use anything else.

CRUTCH FOREARM G05161 PR 1PR

CRUTCH FOREARM G05161 PR 1PRI'm pretty hard on my crutches. Though I'm not as active as I used to be, I weigh more than ever and I still take the last two stair-steps with a measure of abandon. And over the years it's been Guardian crutches that got me where I needed to go.

I don't know of a more durable adjustable crutch.

I've always had trouble with OTHER crutches that oval-out; the peg that holds the metal tubes at the correct length eventually begins to dig into the tubing, and soon the crutches are making that clicking sound that haunts every step. On OTHER crutches I've also had trouble with the end of the tubing wearing out and digging into the crutch tip. Sure, I can grind the tubing flat again, but I'd rather prevent the problem.

GUARDIAN crutches seem to be made of tougher stuff. Are they? I don't know. But I know I'll get my money's worth before I finally retire them to back-up status. (By the way, I pair my crutches with Tornado Gel Tips by Fetterman.)

If you've never tried these crutches before, I urge you to give them a shot sometime.

Foot Works By Avon Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief Cream

Foot Works By Avon Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief CreamI LOVE this product! It is the perfect solution to cracked heels. It keeps my heels soft each day. It's smoothe and non-greasy. It works on calluses too. Great product.

This product is great for feet, but I use it for my hands mostly. I get extremely dry skin in the winter, and my knuckles get so dry that they will crack and bleed. This product works better than anything else I've tried. The best ingredients for dry cracked hands,(listed on WebMD) are in this product, plus it has lidocaine to sooth any pain. Some lotions will burn if you have cracks, this one won't.

I have always had dry feet, but I take care of my feet and be careful to put lotion and try to not walk around too much with bare feet and wear good shoes. I get a pedicure at least once a month which helps my feet to look healthy. About a month ago, I noticed that the bottom of my left foot appeared to have a "cut" which was really a crack in the heel. I live in Arizona and it is really dry here and has actually been cold (for Arizona standards). I bought this cream, and within days the crack seemed to heel up pretty good and after two weeks it was completely gone. I used the product liberally and ran out within two weeks. Luckily, that was all I needed. I think the tube should be much bigger, but the product does work fast. I applied the cream every night before putting on socks before I went to bed. I wear dress shoes to work, so I did not put the cream on in the morning. I did put cream on my foot in the morning on weekends when I wore socks and sneakers. I think reapplying in the morning and evening on weekends helped a lot.

Cold-Eeze Cold Remedy Lozenges 18 ea

Cold-Eeze Cherry Cough Drops, Box of 18 Individually Wrapped LozengesI just had the opportunity to try Cold-Eeze for the first time: I had a cold, saw these on sale, and desperately scooped them up. I was pleased to discover that the flavor of the lozenges (described on my box only as "natural flavor") was quite good, with a bit of honey, citrus, and an almost minty taste. Also, the lozenges were definitely soothing to my dry throat. When it comes to the claim that that this product will shorten the duration of your colds, however, I'm still not a believer. Maybe I didn't start taking them soon enough (it says within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, and I didn't purchase mine until Day 2 of my cold), but still, I'm skeptical about this specific benefit. Still, if you are mainly looking for a lozenge to soothe you throat, this product is as good a choice as any.

While there is no cure for the common cold, Cold-Eeze certainly shortens them for me and my family. They have the feel of a hard candy, they taste great, and they don't cause drowsiness or affect blood pressure.

You just start taking them as soon as you feel a cold coming on. Let them dissolve in your mouth (don't chew), and you can take one every 2-4 hours as needed up to six times a day (adult dosage). Ages 12 17 can take up to 4 a day.

The active ingredient, Zincum Gluconicum 2x, prevents the cold virus from replicating and is clinically proven to reduce both the duration and severity of colds and cold symptoms (cough, sore throat, congestion, sneezing, post nasal drip and/or hoarseness) by nearly half.

I also appreciate that Cold-Eeze lozenges are MADE IN THE USA (by ProPhase Labs, Inc. in Doylestown, PA) and come in a variety flavors (Cherry, Mint Frost, Strawberries and Cream, Lemon Lime, Honey Lemon, Tropical Orange, Sugar Free Pomegranate, Sugar Free Wild Cherry , Sugar Free Chocolate Mint, and Sugar Free Honey Lemon) so that there is a flavor to please everyone in our family.

I bought this for the office after having great success myself. Without a doubt, most who have tried it report a shorter duration of their cold symptoms. Many reviews say the taste is badbut I find it no worse than some other over the counter popular cold meds. The price is a little expensive, but it's worth the cost shaving 1-2 days off of the cold cycle.

About two weeks ago, I was dealing with an awful cold. After talking to my sister, she recommended that I try this product. I'm glad that I talked to her, because the effects of my cold were reduced about 40 to 50 percent per what they say on the instructions.

On top of reducing my cold, they tasted great. It reminded me of having lemon drops when I was a kid. When I have a cold in the future, I will definitely be making sure that these lozenges are a part of my recovery.

California Baby Calendula Cream

California Baby Calendula Cream, 2 ozThis is great for babies with sensitive skin or suffering from eczema. I think it comes from the sweat during the warmer months. None of the other baby lotions or creams work as well as the Calendula has for us. The itching would make my daughter scream for hours on end. It was really disheartening. No matter what we tried we couldn't get her any relief unless she soaked in a bath, and we could only do that for so long. The calendula helps eliminate itch and inflammation which seems to have worked well. Be aware of the ingredients thoughmarigold being the main ingredient could have adverse effects for children with allergies.

My daughter also gets a lot of diaper rash from not only going to the bathroom but the combination of it and sweat. For that, I use a specific natural diaper rash cream by DesitinDesitin Creamy Diaper Rash Ointment + FREE Baby Ganics Thick N' Kleen (Fragrance Free) Baby Wipes. It's an ointment but it's creamy so it absorbs quickly. A dash of the Calendula on top of the diaper rash cream seems to help soothe the pain a little quicker for her.

The Calendula also has a really pleasant smell. It works on the entire body. I just avoid using it on her face in case she were to ingest it. Even though it's natural I feel more comfortable shielding that possibility. Make sure you find the original blend though, I've seen a lot of complaints of a 'new formula' but I've yet to encounter it myself.

Reformulation on California Baby Calendula Cream Be Aware: In the old formulation, water and calendula were the first two ingredients -the new formula Calendula is the 8TH INGREDIENT water, caprylic capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol, stearic acid, glycerin USP, cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate, canola oil and FINALLY Calendula! This formulation is much cheaper for the company and yet they still charge an avg. of $5 an ounce!! I'm pretty outraged -if you use California Baby please let them know how you feel about this change in formulation and look to make sure the products YOU use haven't also been reformulated. ---Please note that my son who has severe eczema used to have NO skin reaction to the old formula and now he has pain on application and redness in his skin for up to an hour after it's applied.

I also want to note that it wasn't until my son started reacting to it that I even compared the labels --no notification of reformulation on the new containers at all -completely unethical -so very disappointed.

I have eczema on face / very sensitive skin. Immediately after applying the product my face burns for a good minute and then it stops. The product is intended for dry skin which I have due to my eczema however, after about an hour or so my skin feels dry again so I have to apply more of the product.

I read some reviews about how the crème with the new label has a new formula which isn't the same as the old label crème. Maybe due to the formula change I'm experiencing the burning sensation.

Both our children have eczema, and have since they hit about the 15 month mark. They have it during the summer months and the winter months. They get it from sweat when they're wearing formaldehyde-drenched Chinese-made clothing and when they're wearing Oeko-Tex certified organic clothing from Peru. They might be allergic to foods (the possible allergen list is a mile long, and it's not like the doctors could possibly test for everything; elimination diets have been futile). They're certainly allergic to that big hickory tree over their play equipment. Cats, dogs, mold, dust, you name it.

So, when all else fails, and you can't weed out the source, you want something to make the symptoms go away. In the case of eczema, you can either suppress the immune reaction (topical steroids) or combat the resulting itch and moisturize and heal the inflamed, damaged skin. California Baby Calendula Cream performs the tricky combination of controlling the itch long enough to heal the skin. It works reasonably well the majority of the time.

Calendula (or pot marigold) extract has been proven to have anti-inflammatory properties, among others, in plant pharmacological studies and has been used topically to reduce inflammation and soothe irritated tissue for centuries. Of course if your child is allergic to plants in the marigold family, calendula would (obviously) have the opposite effect.

I wouldn't be surprised if this has chamomile in it as well, though the label doesn't disclose the contents of the 'proprietary oil blend'. It does have a pleasant tea-like smell to it, and chamomile has been noted to have similar soothing effects.

The rest of the ingredients are dedicated to moisturizing the skin. Because of the density of this cream, it stays on the skin, and because the first ingredient is purified water, it is quickly absorbed. It leaves skin feeling incredibly smooth, but not at all greasy.

The big drawback here is that if your child has severe eczema, you might have to apply this 3 or 4 times a day to the most affected areas. Our children do have severe eczema, and this can keep it at bay if I remember to apply it frequently. Of course I don't always remember. Then there's the cost of applying this cream multiple times per day to two children. We go through one jar per week easily.

So, why not use another moisturizer? Well, in our case, almost all moisturizers we've tried (Aveeno, Nature's Gate, Cetaphil, Eucerin, and others I can't recall now) actually irritate the kids' skin even more, whereas this and the Sensitive Skin California Baby lotion do not. Vaseline works as a barrier cream, but it ruins clothing (mine and theirs) and isn't easily absorbed by the skin.

So, we keep trying other things occasionally, and keep coming back to California Baby. While it is not a miracle cream, it is a heck of a lot better than the other stuff that's out there. (It should be at that price.) It works pretty well most times, sometimes clearing their eczema entirely for brief periods. Another reason to like it is that it rates fairly low on hazardous ingredients according to the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database. All the other mainstream lotions we've tried were considered to be moderately hazardous, and when you read a bit more into this stuff, they just don't seem like good things to be applying to a baby or young child's skin. Most common lotions have ingredients that are actually considered to be irritants, which may explain the children's reaction to other moisturizers.

If your child has eczema, and you're at your wit's end trying to find something, anything that will improve their quality of life, it can't possibly hurt to give this stuff a shot. Pricey as it is, there are so many days I'd give anything just to not have to watch my children irritably tearing at their own skin. This calendula cream has definitely been a source of relief for them and thus, for our whole family.

Mueller HG80 Tennis/Golf Elbow Support

Mueller HG80 Tennis/Golf Elbow Support - One - BlackI have tennis elbow and have been struggling with it for close to a year. Long story short (too late!), this support helps keep the stress off of my elbow when I work out. I am able to do more in the gym confortably while wearing it than without it. I tighten it just before I use my left arm and loosen it afterwards to allow better blood flow. I have been using it for several months. If it leaves a mark for more than a few minutes then you are tightening it too much. I am in no way a body builder and I found this product to be very helpful.

After developing tennis elbow over the past year, mostly from playing competitive softball 4x/wk at the age of 47, I could barely lift a carton of milk. There were very few quality supports/straps offered in the Toronto, Canada area, where I live. I ordered this one without even trying it on beforehand. Not only does it fit perfectly, and is comfortable and nonrestrictive to wear, but I have been putting it to the test for the past month since my 2012 ball season has begun. Needless to say, the support is fabulous. I am not only able to catch hard thrown balls into my glove without any discomfort, but the strength and precision of my hitting is both further and stronger since wearing this. Although it does tend to become wet with perspiration, there is no slipping and no odour. It is easy to hand wash, as well.

Not knowing much about support straps, I read the feedback on the HG80 first, primarily because my elbow and its related muscles were sore. I accidently banged my elbow against a tree while picking up limbs in the yard and it remains sore. I also play disc golf and compete in several tournaments a month. My sidearm and backhand throws depend on my elbow being pretty much pain free. I felt it was getting worse everytime I played. Its not a severe thing to stop you from playing but it was just staying sore. I purchased the Mueller HG80 to help remedy the problem, partly because it looks sporty and has great feedback from others who are using it. A wise choice, it provides the comfort that I need and there is no pain while playing. My complete remedy was to first put an elastic sleeve over your elbow and then attach the HG80 just below the elbow, strapping it firm enough so as not to slip. Its working as the elbow is getting better and starting to feel good. Hey! Mission accomplished!

Heritage Products Castor Oil, The Palma Christi, 16 Fluid Ounces (480 ml) (Pack of 4)

Heritage Products Castor Oil, The Palma Christi, 16 Fluid OuncesCastor oil, or "palma christi" is a natural product that helps (not only with intestinal cleansing) but, also addresses other illnesses. In fact, when my parents were young, my grandparents used a tablespoon of nasty-tasting castor oil tackle any sicknesses. Also, in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, castor oil is also used for seasonal, internal cleansing.

The Heritage brand is a forty-year old, holistic company that adheres to the health readings of prophet Edgar Cacye. The company's owner Johnson, Tom Johnson, started his Virginia Beach, Va. company in 1969. Their leader was once a computer engineer for M&M's candy, and after reading Cayce's book, "The Sleeping Prophet," he believed in Cacye immediately. He joined the nonprofit group based on Cacye's readings called "The Association for Research and Enlightenment."

Heritage cold presses their castor oil -meaning they do not use hexane chemicals to extract the oil. This oil is not only good for castor oil packs. Castor oil is good for oil cleansing the face, and for dissolving blackheads, whiteheads and pimples if used directly on the blemish. Also, it's also great for cleansing the scalp and getting rid of cysts. Another great use is to seal in moisture in the hair.

Heritage is one of the best brands. I used castor oil packs to get rid of a nine-month long inflammation of a displaced gland (before it was surgically corrected). Over-the-counter medicine didn't help with the pain, nor did prescription medicine, but the packs did the trick.

This is a great product. I am using it to clean my face and it works amazingly.

I received the delivery in perfect and stated timelines my concern is that this is a Cosmetic / Health product and yet the bottles were not "NON-TAMPER" sealed. This should be a consideration for the supplier. Other than this I am totally happy with the quality and product.

I have ordered flax seed oil before that was mailed with ice packs and insulation to keep it from getting warm on its journey. Unfortunately, this order arrived without any ice packs or insulation and the bottle was warm to the touch when it arrived, which must have a negative effect on the quality of the oil. Next time, I'll make sure I'm ordering from a company that ships with ice packs and insulation.
