Drinking Turpentine?

[EBottema]

I've been searching the internet and found nothing. .



My great grandfather who died when he was 92 would drink a small shot glass of turpentine everyday. My cousins told me all about this and said his urine was black becuase of drinking the turpentine and this turpentine used to be an old remedy to cleanse your body of junk. Is this true, is turpentine really good for your body? He would buy the stuff right off the shelf at the hardware store



Anyways, any thoughts?

Yep, my dad was born in 1908, and he told about being given a tonic of turpentine, honey and a little kerosine every spring. He died at age 89, so it must not have been too harmful. Not that I would recommend it!

Dont know about turpentine, but carbon (like from a campfire) will cleanse toxins from your system.

I once drank some Bel-Ray 2 stroke oil. :-laf
