Hi Phinneas,
I will try to answer your questions as good as I can.
Am I also right in assuming that to apply pure FO to the body,
may not be the best of ideas? Or, could that be an acceptable
practice? What about using pure cold-pressed coconut oil?
Any ideas on that will be appreciated.
FO is an alternative but it is not as good as Eldi Oils. Had it been, Dr.Budwig would not have gone through the trouble of developing them. If I were to use FO, I would use the same method of application as given for Eldi Oil "R" in our files.
Coconut oil is not an alternative for Eldi Oil as it is mainly saturated fat.
As you wrote, ordering from over-seas adds a very large
cost to buying Eldi Oils, and most of us are not exactly rich. :-)
I know
Wilhelm, simply for the sake of economy, do you think that
for making up one's own variation of Eldi Oil for skin application,
could it be possible for you or others on this forum to help
to work out suitable ratios of suitable oils, and to pass that
information on to one and all of us? I know it is a big "ask",
but I am sure many of us would be very grateful for that.
I don't know the formula of the Eldi Oils. It is proprietary. I know that two of the oils used are FO and wheat germ oil but I don't know the proportion and I don't know if there are any other ingredients/oils. Just because none are listed does not necessarily mean that none are included. Since they are only for external use, I tend to believe that there are other ingredients in it as well.
If you would want to add some wheat germ oil to your FO and try to approximate Eldi Oil that way, that is up to you. I see no harm in that if the wheat germ oil is pure, cold pressed and not adulterated in any way. I would not want to speculate on the formula though.
One thing you could do, is try to find someone from this group who lives nearby and then share the cost of two bottles. That has been attempted before.
Wilhelm

Hello Wilhelm, I wonder if you and others with knowledge
can possibly help with questions about Eldi Oils and Flax
Seed oil.
But, before my questions: --- you wrote:

From the above, obviously there are risks of causing more
damage than good by blindly using any old oil mixture.
Am I also right in assuming that to apply pure FO to the body,
may not be the best of ideas? Or, could that be an acceptable
practice? What about using pure cold-pressed coconut oil?
Any ideas on that will be appreciated.
