From Brigham Young's office journal, Mar. 2, 1860:

"Howard Egan called upon me in relation to Bro H. S. Sherman
discontinuing his services on the western line with him. I told
him Bro Shermans state of health required him to discontinue
traveling that he might bestow more attention upon himself and
use remedies to entirely cure himself of the piles and tumor he
was afflicted with. Howard then left. I told Bro S. & S. Sherman
yesterday that I had been obliged to use a syringe since my
sickness in Nauvoo, and now I could not live months without
using it; I believe the the frequent use of it has considerably
benefitted my health as I am much better now than I have been
for years. I enjoy my food much better that I used years ago.
The use of the syringe strengthens my bowels I am persuaded that
in nine cases out of ten the bowels become deranged before the
stomach does, and the bowels being deranged soon affect the
stomach. I charge the syringe frequently with composition
sometimes I mix consecrated oil with it."

There you have it, folks, consecrated oil enemas.

I can't think of a better use of so-called "consecrated oil" than to shove it up your ass.

BY also used a catheter (small tube up the front to enable urination) in his later years, and he recommended the procedure to friends, telling them the best way to lubricate the catheter was with consecrated oil.

Sounds like a very fast way to get an infected urethra.

Or colon, as the case may be.

From Wikipedia:

"Before his death in Salt Lake City on August 29, 1877, Young was
suffering from cholera morbus and inflammation of the bowels. It
is believed that he died of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix."

The miracle of blessed virgin olive oil is amazing. You can even use it to escaped from an ankle monitor. Praise Joseph Smith or is the praise to Jesus? I forget.

LOL! :D

Thank heavens he wasn't using consummated oil...just saying. Brigham's Boner.

In his book, "Blood of The Prophets," Will Bagley wrote:

"When asked if he washed (his body) once a week, Young said 'that he did not [but] he had tried it. He was well aware that this was not for everybody.'"



Baura, the above, combined with images of BY's syringe up the wazoo is enough to make me rip the contact lens from my eye, and Breathe-Right nasal stip from my nose!!!!

Way too much sensory damage!

Surely that should be "up the Wasatch"...
