Whey Protein for Muscle Mass
16 hours agoHi JJ,
This article about five options for protein that may be better than whey protein may be of interest to you :
Here is a relevant quote from the article :
' Whether you are trying to build muscles, boost immunity, and/or simply increase strength and resistance, protein happens to be one of the most essential nutrients that can help shape up health and well-being. While many people switch to supplements or whey protein powders, are these fad protein boosters actually good in the long run? Well, the debate around packaged protein supplements and powders and their advantages and disadvantages may take years to conclude, but if you simply want to ditch all this and stick to natural sources of protein, then here are some common foods that have higher quality protein than whey and can naturally improve your fitness game!

Re: Asthma
18 hours agoTry MSM also known as Organic Sulfur.
Buy the Amazon Organic Sulfur and start very slow consumption in water.
If no issues, slowly increase dose.
I have asthma due to animal dander, dogs Cats, and this allows me to sleep on their futon bed with no asthma issue. Without MSM, I am on my knees gasping in half an hour.

Antiparasitics for Fibromyalgia
20 hours agoWhat you can do about fibromyalgia :
- Read the Dr clark book about the cause of diseases being pollutants and parasites
After for 2 weeks you do (parasite make eggs and you need to take antiparasitic for 2 weeks again and again to kill them all) :
10 capsules of neem leaf, 10 capsules of cloves, 10 capsules of artemisia absinthium (you can add 10 capsules of quassia amara), each day you can add 1tsp of pure gum turpentine
For the capsules you absolutely need to make them yourself it will be 5 times more powerful (buy a 150g grinder and a machine to make capsules manually size#000), make in powder clove yourself absolutly do not buy in powder
Neem have insecticide and anti microbial proprieties, buy neem leaf cut not in powder same for artemisia and quassia (bark) buy cut plant not already in powder for more effectiveness
Take also 1tsp of sodium thiosulfate, do not take more than few days because it deplete nutriments in your body, it removed from my body pollutants I was not able to remove otherwise
What you can do also is taking a salmanov bath or more easily you put some turpentine in your bath (few tsp, do not put too much, it kick after 10 minutes and can burn if too much)
Whey Protein for Muscle Mass
20 hours ago
I tried supplementing with whey protein To help with muscle mass, however it seems I'm sensitive to it . I was experiencing loose bowels. Although I don't have issues with cheese, kefir, cottage cheese, etc, I did try using a supplement to help digest dairy, but that did not seem to make any difference as far as the whey. Do you have any other recommendations or feedback as to how I might be able to consume whey without side effects?

20 hours agoso far I like what I see--he didn't take it yesterday with no problems and the pain was still tolerable! Still they say that higher doses act better for pain. I tried RED strain and for me WHITE is better-but here everyone may differ. PLEASE RESEARCH KRATOM!

Re: Oral Melatonin Question for Art
1 day agoHi Amanda,
To answer your questions, if the alcohol can enter the system it is a very small amount incapable of causing intoxication with most of the alcohol evaporating upon application of the lotion. The gin is used to dissolve the melatonin powder.
I just use the house brand gin that I get at Costco in a large bottle.

Re: Oral Melatonin Question for Art
1 day agoHi Amanda,
If you were to apply straight gin to the skin it would have a drying effect and act as a moderate irritant. When diluted with the lotion on a two parts lotion to one part gin basis along with the dissolved melatonin, the botanicals that the gin is made from have potential to offer benefits of their own while the melatonin has proven skin protective effects and the lotion prevents the skin drying potential of the gin.
It might be worthwhile for you to read all of the replies to the original post to get a better idea of what people have experienced from using melatonin lotion and any side effects they may have experienced, and then decide if you think it is worth testing.

2 days agoIron Deficiency
2 days agoFloradix is the product you are referring to. It works amazing for low iron /anemia. I started to take it when pregnant when recommended by my midwife and still take it today. This product is very easy to digest which makes it superior to other iron pills etc. My sister got very sick from getting an iron infusion in the hospital - since then at my urging she started taking FLORADIX - and that was nine years ago. It's made in Germany and also has some vitamin B as well.
Re: Fatty Liver Post Update
2 days agoReplying to my own post as an update to my situation. in addition to diet and fasting I have been consuming a lot of citrus especially oranges. They have a higher glucose to fructose ratio than other fruits and I believe this helps with cellular energy due to decreased liver function where glucose production may be hindered. This may be a controversial theory, but there is a study to back up this claim on oranges and NAFLD: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39339791/ I have also been using MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) as a study at pubmed suggests that MSM ameliorates hepatic steatosis by enhancing the autophagy. Read the full study at: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38099147/ I also only use dextrose aka glucose for my sweetener if I consume anything sweet. its important to reduce fructose consumption as much as possible, but glucose is actually made by the liver and all cells in your body use glucose. However glucose / dextrose should also be used with caution as it may cause insulin spikes which = inflammation. I was able to drink a few beers yesterday without feeling ill for the first time in years. If I had to take a guess it was more the MSM than the citrus consumption. For more on MSM look up Dr. GI Janel on social media or youtube.
Re: Borax Solution
2 days agoThe short answer, is absolutely not! The problem with tap water is you don't know what chemicals or minerals may be in there. Many municipalities brag about putting chlorine and fluoride in water. Those are just two nastiest things that they put in. Hard water may contain minerals that could exacerbate arthritic conditions possibly. DMSO does a beautiful job of taking things from on top of the skin directly into the bloodstream. Rub a little DMSO on your hands or even your legs, and you can smell it on your breath within minutes! You want to use distilled water because nothing is put into your system that you don't know about, as distilled water in theory has nothing in it but pure water.
Re: Oral Melatonin Question for Art
2 days agoHi Amanda,
I will answer both your questions in this reply.
Where do you get the cream?
You have to make it yourself as I have not found a commercial cream that is as strong yet and I describe how to make it in the following post :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
Can you use oral melatonin?
You can use oral melatonin also, but I don't think it will be strong enough or last long enough by itself. The melatonin lotion is needed to last long enough and reach high enough local tissue levels to be more effective than just oral melatonin.

Melatonin Lotion Question for Art
2 days agoHi Mix,
In the 3 ounce mix of melatonin lotion, the 1/4 teaspoon of pure melatonin powder is equivalent to 750 mg of pills or capsules. The downside to this approach is that those capsules or pills have a very significant amount of fillers in them so it is going to be much more than a 1/4 teaspoon of powder. The fillers may not dissolve in the gin and so the mix may feel gritty. You will need enough pills or capsules to equal 750 mg of melatonin.
This was reported to me by another EC member who I think is in Canada, who could not buy bulk melatonin powder and had to use capsules. She did say that it definitely helped her fibromyalgia pain better than her prescription medications and it didn't cause her any side effects. She also said that the lotion felt gritty.

MSM for IBS With Constipation
2 days agoMSM (methylsulfonylmethane) for IBS w/ constipation
my symptoms were:
- Bloating, gas after consuming anything even water
- SIBO like symptoms
- dehydration
- chronic constipation
i tried everything. diet changes, different supplements etc. Then I ran across a Naturopathic Doctor on youtube (Dr. GI Janel) describing the exact same symptoms and its being caused by a sulfur deficiency. So I bought a 2 pound bag of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) from Amazon and I am already feeling results after a few days (even a few of my aches and pains are gone). Long story short, our American diets have become deficient in sulfur for whatever reason and sulphur helps your detox pathways get rid of toxins & fungal overgrowth. I have been taking 1/2 a tablespoon MSM 3 times a day with Acerola Cherry vitamin C (i dont trust the GMO corn Vitamin C) which is supposed to help the MSM. But the regimen involves working your way up to 30 grams MSM per day for 8 weeks. If you are constipated like I was, take Magnesium Oxide a couple times per day to get things moving first before you start taking the MSM. You may experience herx die-off symptoms (flushing, headache, etc) in the beginning as fungus like candida are dying off, or You may not feel anything at first, but keep taking it, working up to the 30 grams per day. I also take L - Glutamine for gut repair and avoid sugar and flour to help the healing process as many these problems may be caused by GMO flour and/or glyphosate (which may also be in sugar as Roundup is sprayed on sugar beets too). So always try to eat organic.
