Is Turpentine Safe To Drink? Tiffany Haddish Reportedly Says Yes, But Please Don't Do It

Friends, I’ve just about lost all patience when it comes to the ludicrous pseudo-health trends making headlines left and right. First, there was raw water, and listen, if I was stranded in the middle of a forest, parched, and came across a brook, I’d probably sip unfiltered water for survival. Luckily, civilization has brought us clean, bottled (even boxed) H2O, so let’s stay upgraded, shall we? But now, the million dollar question appears to be this: Is turpentine safe to drink? Actress and comedienne Tiffany Haddish reportedly told GQ that there are actual health benefits to drinking turpentine in super small doses, but TBH, I genuinely can't tell whether or not she was joking. Elite Daily has reached out to Haddish's people for comment, but did not hear back before publication.
OK, first of all, what even is turpentine, guys? According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), it's an oil substance derived from pine trees and, if someone swallows it, or breathes in its fumes, turpentine oil poisoning may occur. Generally speaking, people usually use turpentine as a paint thinner, and not so much as a health remedy.
Digging a little deeper into my research, though, things get a bit complicated: For instance, the online wellness resource Gaia suggests that turpentine is possibly safe when used on your skin for joint or muscle pain, and inhaling a bit to ease sinuses and coughs is also apparently a thing, per the holistic health site Earth Clinic.
However, plenty of other, more credible sources warn against consuming turpentine, as it can lead to a variety of health issues, like difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, sore throat, a dip in blood pressure, and even loss of vision.

Haddish told GQ's Caity Weaver that she learned all about the alleged health benefits of turpentine from a YouTube video a few months back, and that the substance is apparently good for treating colds.

According to Weaver, Haddish can be “unnervingly ersuasive,” even when it comes to her views on drinking poisonous substances to yield alleged health benefits. During their conversation, the Girls Trip actress casually mentioned “a teaspoon of turpentine won’t kill you,” leading to an interesting discussion, to say the least.
From there, Haddish went on to explain that 19th-century slaves apparently drank turpentine as a kind of cure-all for medicinal purposes. I don’t have to remind you that there are a lot of things your ancestors did way back when that you really shouldn’t mess around with these days (remember what I said about raw milk?), but I digress.
On top of this miniature history lesson, the 38-year-old actress told GQ that her newfound knowledge actually came from a YouTube video she stumbled upon a while back, though it's not clear what video she claimed to have watched on the subject. According to the publication, the clip apparently inspired Haddish to hop on Amazon and purchase some turpentine, and ever since she reportedly began taking the substance, Haddish said, “everything just felt so much better, clarity-wise." In terms of how her body feels, well, Haddish told GQ that she's convinced she owes “the best doo doo of [her] f*cking life” to the stuff.

Cancer Causes?

I believe cancer is caused by our thoughts and feelings. I believe we cause it in our subconscious thoughts.I don't believe any disease or illness is caused by any outside influence, but instead from with in, our inner conversations. Cancer is actually your own body cells that went rogue on the rest.

Rebels against the whole body. manifested by thought with a little fear mixed in for good measure.

Look back upon your past and think who or what did I resent the most.

Do you have lung cancer or some other cancer said to be caused by life style habits. You may have heard from time to time and again and again that boy you better quit smoking or drinking and maybe a little overeating.That person trained your subconscious into believing a lie. And once it believes a certain something, then your subconscious will move heaven and earth to make it happen.

I am bringing up a better diet, because I believe that a better diet will give you more time to change your inner conversation to enable you to create another you. The chart at the top of the page is certainly reason for concern, or is it.Could it not be the concern of possibly getting cancer from the things that you are conscious of, and if you are not conscious of something, does that something really exists at all. A good example would be the strong rise in the exact diseases that they are advertising on television. Before they started allowing drug companies and doctors alike to advertise their wares to the American public. Don't fall asleep while your watching television either, because the subconscious mind may be fooled into giving you exactly what you don't want.

All in all a good diet is a good thing, because your quality of life is better and this also may jolt the inner mind into believing a new thing or two.

Cancer, What I would do. - Real Herb Doctor

Cancer, What I would do. - Real Herb Doctor

Firstly, I would stay calm, and chill.I would organize an arsenal of herbs and change my diet to help make my body not conducive to cancer. Go to bed that night with God on my mind and no thoughts of cancer. I would enlist my spirit in the war on that cancer. Morning 1 I would take a two hundred mcg. of selenium, planning to take 3 more throughout the day divided out along the whole day. I would also take 12 grams of vitamin C divided out day, You can call that a butt load of Vitamin C. Drink 2 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of juice 3 times a day. Msm would also be in the arsenal. Msm is a type of sulphur that doesn't smell. this is not all, I just feel the need to get on to my diet. I would start eating real butter from grass fed cows. I would cut all pork and other bad meats out as soon as possible. Plenty of organic fruits and vegetables. If your need meat, then chose varieties that are fed a diet of grass and not grain.
Let everything go, all offenses against you or somebody else. Forget your past, your past is like salt, if you preserve the past it will always be.
Iodine is another good thing to start taking in food or Nascent Iodine. The Nascent Iodine will flood your thyroid with an abundant supply of iodine to fight pathogens in your body.All of your blood travels through the thyroid every few minutes, making Iodine a good chose. Stay away from sickly people, your body needs to put its concentration of the body and fighting.
I will add to this article later this afternoon, so please come back and read more.
