A letter dated June 29, 1975, written by an A.R.E. member from Yonkers, New York, Mrs. Richard T. Brand, contained this information:

“I have just finished reading an article from the July A.R.E. Journal {former membership publication which later became Venture Inward magazine} entitled ‘Laying On of Hands.’ The story was very significant for me because I had an experience similar to that woman. I too had discovered a lump in my breast and was told to see a surgeon as soon as possible. My doctor told me he thought it was a cyst and not a tumor, but in any event should be removed.

“I had read where Castor Oil Packs on external cysts, warts, and moles were beneficial but I hadn’t read where it was recommended for the breast. Well, I applied the packs faithfully for about a week. I even fell asleep once with a pack on! Almost immediately the size of the lump decreased. During this time I meditated daily. I say this only because I often miss a day or two and I know meditation has a healing effect on the body.

“During the next month I continued the packs but only once every two days.

“It is now two months later since finding the lump and it has disappeared. I returned to my doctor and after examining me found everything normal. He asked if I saw the surgeon and I replied, ‘No.’ Whatever—the lump is gone and I feel the Castor Oil had a lot to do with it.”

683-3, Report #4

A surgeon in Shillington, Pennsylvania, Dr. Bob McTammany, related the following story to Dr. William McGarey, who writes in The Oil That Heals:

“He told me . . . about a post-vaginal hysterectomy patient who developed a febrile course and a large pelvic abscess which improved on antibiotics and proteolytic enzymes, although a 10 x 10 cm mass remained. She refused further surgery, and after several weeks of malaise, fever, low abdominal tenderness and pain, and no general improvement, she was then convinced that she should begin application of castor oil packs, used one hour daily. She improved remarkably symptom-wise, and examination in one month showed almost complete resolution of the pelvic abscess. Bob feels that these packs might be beneficial to post-operative patients in order to improve wound healing and reduce the incidence of infection.”

From a research report by a woman correspondent who wrote to the A.R.E. Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona (no longer in operation), comes this story, later submitted by Dr. William McGarey to “Notes from the Medical Research Bulletin” in The A.R.E. Journal:

“An alcoholic for more than 20 years . . . she used castor oil packs on her abdomen for an entirely different reason four years ago. It seemed that she had developed a severe abdominal pain. She did not consult her doctor, so her own diagnosis of ‘probably an intestinal disorder’ will have to suffice, no matter how inadequate. She reports that her pain lessened a little each day, as she applied the packs on a twice daily routine. An apparent constipation was thoroughly corrected on the second day, but she continued the packs for a period of two weeks.

“The most remarkable result of her own little adventure in consciousness, however, is the real point of this story. She adds as a postscript to her report that ‘Since the day I first used oil packs, I have not touched a drop of liquor—nor have I had the desire to do so . . . I used to drink myself to sleep every single night.’

“My question is: What is it that happens to people that makes a simple act of healing turn their lives into a new channel of living? Why should applications of castor oil packs rival Alcoholics Anonymous in this particular event in time and space? Life offers us a multitude of unanswered questions, doesn’t it?”

Further accounts of individuals’ experiences with castor oil can be found in Dr. William A. McGarey’s book The Oil That Heals and David E. Kukor’s book The Miracle Oil (both published by A.R.E. Press).
