    I have had problems with my neck (due to Lyme disease in the past) and even the doctor said I should have regular massage for it. Is there ANY oil at all that is 100% safe? I would not want to endanger the weight loss efforts, but have pain if I don't get some help with the massage. I hope someone knows what can be done. Thanks, Olivia

    baby oil is fine, which is mineral oil. i get massage all the time- just take my own oil for them to use when i'm on P2.

    Hi there mgsondance! Thanks for the information. That seems amazing. Real oil. I am sure you are 100% right, but as an alternative, what do you think about Aloe Gel? Still trying to change my name, MIght decide to just open a new account. Olivia

    that might be ok too, but i'm not sure. the reason mineral oil is ok is that it does not have any nutritional value- it can't be absorbed by the body the way other oils are.

    nothing that has a caloric value, glycerin is all right and there are some lotions that are okay, St Ives makes and oil free one and so does curel, This is what I used when getting massages.

    Could've sworn Simeon said no massages for reasons other than the oil. Something about fat deposits being disturbed unevenly? Wow maybe much has been discovered since his writings.
