Camphor products for protection from nose dryness and bad bacteria and viruses:

I have been using either Vick's or Mentholatum ointment products that contain camphor for many, many years. When I blow my nose, I insert a small amount and either on into my nostrils to moisturize the interior and to provide protection against bad bacteria and viruses that might invade my body via the nose. I am rarely sick and will continue to use for the remainder of my life.

Spirit of Camphor for Boils

Cures most boils if caught in time. Also, cures most moles. They will fall off.

Camphor was used in Canada to create a product called 714 X and although it was successful in treating cancer, there was a huge battle between the Dr. who was using this method and the CMA in Canada.

In the late fifties while in the army, I came down with herpes. After diagnosis, the army doctor recommended camphor spirits applied to lesions. It worked and I have never passed it on. Still use it along with new meds.
