Published in 4 Health Through Nutrition April 2004

I remember one time we were called out to a house in the wee hours of the morning. This call was to see a little boy, under the age of tow, that had double pneumonia. The physician on the case had informed the parents that nothing more could be done and he would come back in the morning to sign the child's death certificate. Seeing as it was 40 degrees outside and nearly 50 miles from ambulance service, the parents were told that the boy, if taken by car to a hospital, would surly die.
These parents tried to get other doctors, but at that time of night, and so remote area, no one would offer help. A friend told the parents about us and tried to call us. Having been told of the boys condition we went expecting to give him the cold sheet treatment. Upon arriving there we found the water to the house frozen. We found enough liquid water in the toilet tank above the bowl to give the little chap an enema.
We were not able to give the cold sheet treatment (no water) so only the garlic paste was made up and applied. This was done after a complete massage of the body and feet. After oiling the feet upto the ankles, thoroughly, and massaging the olive oil in well, a half-inch thick of garlic paste was applied to the soles of his feet. (This is put on only the soles and not up onto the sides). Then gauze was placed over to cover the paste, bandages to hold it into place, and a loose white cotton sock was pulled over the bandages to hold them securely.
Garlic paste is made by taking freshly peeled buttons of garlic and garlic about half and half with Vaseline. This amount can vary, according to the toughness of the feet, more Vaseline for tender feet, less for thicker skin. Many of the health minded readers will be shocked by our using a low-vibration ointment like Vaseline instead of using anhydrous lanolin or some lighter more organic type.
The reasoning for this is that the lighter type ointments will penetrate more quickly into the skin, but the Vaseline will hold the garlic on the ointment form. This will also keep the garlic from blistering as easily. (A garlic blister looks bad, buy does not hurt and heals back quickly.)
The little boy was running an extremely high fever and was delirious when he was covered and put back into bed. (this was well after 2:00 am). We assured the parents the child would be all right and would get well.
A few days later we were called again by these parents. They told us that the doctor came back to sign the death certificate that next morning, but the little boy was sitting in his high chair, drinking some juice and breathing normally as if nothing had happened the night before. The doctor became so angry and demanded to know the name of the other doctor who had taken over the case before it had been released by him. He wanted a hearing by “the board” to have the other doctor thrown out of practice for going “against procedure” by taking over a case without written release. The parents asked if his “release” was the death of their child? He probably changed his mind because we were not brought before a hearing.

20 days agoColloidal Silver for Ear Mites
20 days agoI have recently discovered that colloidal silver works with ear mites, fungal infections, parasites, and many other issues that come with cat care. You can mix it with water and mist the ears for a cleaning solution or you can put it directly into the ear. I had a cat that had ear mites very badly. They smelled and looked like coffee grounds. She was suffering. I used olive oil to suffocate the ear mites treating each ear twice a day. Now my cat was not at all cooperative but I invented a type of papoose board that I have to use when doing this. Yes, sounds traumatizing but what is worse the constant ear mite and infections or a couple minutes swaddled? After 3 days I started using the colloidal silver. I mixed 2 drops into 1 tsp. Of distilled water and put it in the ears. She was cleared up in 3 days. No coffee grounds or foul odor. I now give the colloidal silver to all my animals. 20 cats and 6 dogs and not one has suffered from any ear mites, infections, or skin issues and it's been 3 years!

20 days agoHi Mari,
It may be an option worth considering to contact Dr. Mischley as she has trained dogs that sniff out the "scent of Parkinson's disease". The accuracy of her trained dogs seems to be at least as good, if not better than the currently available testing methods for PD. You would have to mail her a dirty t-shirt of your husbands so that her dogs can sniff it to help determine if your husband may or may not have PD.
Here is her contact information :
Beet Juice for High Blood Pressure
21 days agoBeet Juice for high blood pressure
About a month ago during my yearly check up, my blood pressure was in the 150's and I got the warning that I needed to come back in a month for another blood pressure test and if it was still high it was time to go on the meds. I went home and started exercising more, eating better and went to the local Whole Foods and ordered a juice with red beets every morning. Just this week went back to the doctor 20lbs lighter and the BP down at 121/72.... thank you Earth Clinic!!!
Re: Glutathione IV Infusions For Parkinson's Disease
21 days agoHello, my husband's family has a history of Parkinson's disease and we have been concerned that he may have the beginnings of this condition. There is a Doctor I like to watch on you tube from Costa Rica and his name is Alonso Vega. He has been making videos(spanish) on the importance of glutathione iv infusions to detox the brain. He does indicate that in order to be effective it must be through IV as glutathione supplements don't really work. Just food for thought how glutathione may also have a positive impact to prevent parkinson's disease. We will be taking our son to their clinic for a different condition but while we are there I will also be asking about the treatment for Parkinson.
Re: Bloody Nose Remedy
21 days agoThis is very interesting as the point you're pressing is GV26 (acupuncture/acupressure point). GV stands for "Governing Vessel" and GV 26 is known as "the center of a person" and commonly used for many issues in many emergency rooms outside the scope of the western "medicine" machine.

Question for Art Re: Mold/ Fungi / Biofilms
21 days agoHi Marc,
You didn't say which article you are referring to and I have written a lot, but it seems like the most important thing initially is to get out of the place that has the high mold content. In addition to remedies I mentioned in the article you read, it will likely be beneficial to also include monolaurin for it antifungal and anti inflammatory qualities.
As far as will the remedies be effective for your specific purpose, as with all supplements or prescription medications, it will come down to trial and error to find out what is most effective.

Re: Black Seed Oil for Asthma
21 days agoQuestion for Art Re: Mold/ Fungi / Biofilms
22 days agoFirst time poster & re: Mold/ fungi / biofilms
Thank you Art for this information - I've been using GSE a short time and it seems to be helping so I've looked further and found this post.
My question: do you think this described protocol would be effective against systemic mold infection; the type from water damaged building materials or moldy wood or cellulose products? I suspect that; I have both something in the chest and sinuses and the sinus has been long term (years) undiagnosed; considered it allergies. Had exposure to WDB's in the past. Thought it may be a viral that just hangs on (long virus, or organizing pneumonia). No fever or signs of bacterial infection, no energy or exercise tolerance, constant mucous discharge. I want to go after the biofilms protecting any fungi or mold growth; then the fungi or mold themselves.
With much gratitude...

Re: Remedies for Sudden and Severe Arthritic Knee Pain Not Helping
22 days agoI know I am about 6 1/2 years too late, but in case I can help someone else, I will say what helped me. I was helping someone in the bathroom, and I made a 180 to go toward the front door. Nothing abnormal or unusual. Just a normal turn. My left knee went out. No former warning or problem. So I tried to make an appointment with the orthopedist. While waiting for a month, I decided I couldn't get anywhere without a solid brace. So I bought a knee brace at Walmart, the best one, with side bars. I wore it for 2 months, and took it off. I walk on it now. But it took about 2 months to get it that way. I wonder how many people would have gotten knee surgery, and then not been as mobile as I am. I feel like I shouldn't do 180 turns anymore, but I get around fine and exercise caution. I do recommend Carlson's cod liver oil, as I feel it helps ligaments and surrounding tissue. Two months+ with brace is key.
Re: Vitamin C to Dissolve Iodine Stain
22 days agoRe: Scabies Mites in Nose and Mouth
22 days agoJT, You have my most sincere sympathy. If it was me, and if I was in Plymouth, MA,
1) I would use Ivermectin, both orally and topically.
2) I would buy Ivermectin, a.k.a. Horse Paste, a.k.a. Horse Dewormer, from my nearby farm supply store.
3) You say you have used Ivermectin 5 times. Sounds good so far. However, I would not stop after 5 treatments. Especially if you are seeing improvement, any kind of improvement, then you want to keep going with that treatment.
4) I would avoid MDs, as veterinary medicine is NOT, and has never been their field of expertise. Further, the way the system is set up, if in the unlikely event an MD helps you with Ivermectin, or any other veterinary medicine, they can lose their (state) license to practice medicine.
5) If I had a bit of time on my hands, I would also shop around with the idea of buying medicine, such as Ivermectin, cheaper from an online pharmacy. One example is alldaychemist dot com. However, according to that site, you will need a script, and you will not have the script. Further, I would never wire them any money. If I bought from them, then I would insist on the use of my credit card, but it is unclear to me if they accept credit cards. Further, their flickering website does not make me feel good.
6) JT, for our benefit, please share your experience and tell us what it is that WE should do to avoid getting infected with scabies.
I hope this will help you and everybody!
Re: Iodine + DMSO for Dog's Cyst?
22 days agoDiamotaceous Earth (aka fossil flour), is literally dirt cheap. Sprinkle some over the area! Another poster in a D.E. thread here mentioned to not use a metal spoon when handling D.E. as that would negate the charge. I can attest it sure feels that way when I rub D.E. on an infection of mine, ie tiny electrical discharges). When I found Dog#2, both shoulder blades had massive infection with large pus pockets. He was in agony. I could see small slits on each blade so I knew the D.E. would have them draining in 15-20 minutes, and I was right. I was able to sprinkle some D.E. on him and it was so light it didnt cause him additional pain. 20 mins later I could smell the pus just leaking down from the wounds. The dog was out of agony for about the cost of about 25cents. I haven't found that post again yet to thank that guy, but D.E. has saved me and my rescues from many different infections, sores & bites, burns, and alot of pain! D.E. contains silica, which is something our skin has/needs, but not for too many days in a row, as it can be drying to the skin. I only use it in the initial healing phase. Our bodies do heal themselves very well, if infection is kept out of the way. After infection is no longer a concern, you want to moisturize the area to aid in cellular turnover, which speeds healing.
