Polycythemia (also known as polycythaemia or polyglobulia) is a disease state in which the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells increases.Blood volume proportions can be measured as hematocrit.he emergency treatment of polycythemia (e.g., in hyperviscosity or thrombosis) is by venesection, the removal of blood from the circulation. Depending on the underlying cause, venesection may also be used on a regular basis to reduce the red blood cell count.
Turpentine is an excellent cleaner for paint brushes. If youâve wondered how to clean your brushes effectively, this oil-based solvent will do the job for you. Most cleaning spirits can only dissolve fresh paint. However, turps goes a step further as it is able to clear slightly hardened paint from brushes.
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.
