The inventor of Vaseline, Robert Chesebrough, was such a firm believer in its medicinal properties that he claimed to have eaten a spoonful of it a day. During a bout of pleurisy in his 50s, he ordered his nurse to cover him from head to toe in the substance, and soon recovered. He lived to be 96. Image

I've been ingesting this for years. It really does have great properties and I have noticed positive changes in my body since I started doing so! You'd be amazed at the benefits. Perfect to put on sores, very dry areas and to keep nasty areas from getting infected. I just really hate the taste so I just put it in my ass.
