Sea stars are integral members of marine ecosystems, although they compete directly with commercial and recreational fishermen. 1  One sea star can devour over 50 young clams in a week. 2  When their population grows, sea stars can consume entire beds of shellfish.
1 Turpentine or mineral spirits are the primary agents to use when it comes to thinning oil-based paints. 2  Evaluate how much paint was placed in the container, and add the turpentine in a ratio of approximately 3 parts paint to 1 part thinner.
From what I've read, Edgar Cayce also used turpentine as part of his healing regimens. Also, apparently in the old days, some people gave their kids some drops of turpentine on sugar cubes as a de-wormer. Here is a thread on earthclinic talking about it....OTE OF CAUTION: From what I've read the ONLY acceptable Turpentine that can be used is  100% pure gum spirits of turpentine . Apparently any other turpentine/paint thinner is petroleum based and NOT to be used.
