Hempseed Oil For Skin Parasites
Scientific American, 1907. Too bad that science, medicine and the USDA have all been utterly ignorant of this fact for the past century. This shows how fast the Dark Ages have descended on us.
"Hemp and Hempseed Oil as Protectives Against Vermin: It ought to be more generally known that hemp seed oil can be recommended as a safe and speedy means of getting rid of the parasites which infest the skins of animals. A farmer writes “I have used this protective for thirty years and always with complete success. In two to three hours after the oil has been rubbed into the skins of domestic animals the troublesome itching ceases, the vermin have been exterminated. The oil is also very effective against lice. It is cheap and easily procurable and does not like other substances of this kind possess poisonous properties. It can therefore be safely used with horses as a preservative against horse flies etc also with cats and dogs which are apt to lick off the oil. My long experience has shown that it is particularly useful with poultry. In gardens also hempseed may render effective service as a protective against earth fleas eg In keeping these insects away from cabbage seedlings. Hempchaff has a similar action. Hemp is also a pretty plant and will contribute to the adornment of the garden.”
Just thinking about all the unnecessary suffering that people and animals have experienced in the last 100+ years because this one treatment has been suppressed is absolutely sickening, not to mention all the other widely available cures that have been subjected to the same blackout treatment. But then I think of all the money that the poison peddlers would have lost out on if people could just grow their own meds. We need to think of the poor industrialist.
its a wonder why hemp was even illegal... oh wait it was for money. lol Now that the hemp industry will make a comeback I expect some improvement in health rates and infant mortality in the US.
