Re: Blackngold, if I may...
ok, batty, im gonna get contrary with you.
i think the skin IS all that is necessary. or, to use the earlier figure, 95% of all our oils could come this way and be fine. you can actually get too much oil in your system by putting too much on you. i not only read this, but you know me, the gonzo experimenter, i have put a ton of oil on all at once. not all over so i wouldnt clog all my pores from letting off gasses(which can kill you), but by putting it on the front half of me, mainly the stomach. i was trying to saturate the fat around my middle there. it made me light headed but i think it helped tremendously. it has been since then that i have noticed some of it going away.
btw, another goody is the salt water flush. my body has worked better ever since i did that for a week. it was good enough that i am thinking it may do the same thing as the orange juice fast, at least for the stomach.

distilled water and redmond salt is all you need. be sure and double the salt in the recipe.
