    1. Hello Otto – thank you for your valuable comment. I absolutely agree about taking the Castor Oil – I specially tried it for myself just to be sure. That is how it was done in the old days, so whatever works best for you is always good. Following our intuition / higher self motivations. Best wishes to you! Yvonne
