Borax Side Effects
24 days ago
I took recommended dose of 1/8 tsp in my coffee. By day 3 I had uncomfortable pain in both hips, by day 4 it was more uncomfortable to where I couldn't sleep. I stopped and it's slowly going away, I'm on day 3 of not taking…but I even have sensitivity to my skin where my hip joints are. Not only did I have the pain, I also felt so exhausted and tired. Any advice or suggestions I would greatly appreciate!

24 days agoDMSO on Hemorrhoids?
25 days agoWondering if anyone has used dmso for thrombosed hemorrhoids before? I have external and internal hemorrhoids and raw ones that will protrude outside my anus and bleed a lot when irritated. So I'm obviously very sick and tired of this. Has anyone got experience with using dmso down there? I'm concerned about the burning haha! And possibly the blood thinner part

25 days agoNew Study Suggests Melatonin May Be Useful For Atherosclerosis Prevention
25 days agoThe following new (December, 2025) study suggests that melatonin may work to help prevent atherosclerosis as discussed here :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1567576925020089?via=ihub
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' Melatonin inhibits the growth of atherosclerosis and the pro-inflammatory differentiation of macrophages by blocking the Sirt3-Drp1 pathway, which prevents mitochondria from fission. Melatonin's suppression of mitochondrial fission may be a viable strategy for postponing cardiovascular problems in atherosclerosis patients. '
This may be complementary to the anti-atherosclerotic effects of Nattokinase in humans that I discussed here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/high-dose-nattokinase-for-atherosclerosis.html
Why is this important to everyone? It is important because atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD is the number one cause of death in the world.

Mushroom Complex AHCC For HPV
25 days agoThought I'd add this to the list as I'm shocked it's not already mentioned! I'm just about 43, been battling HPV since my 20s and have had so many colposcopy's I've lost track along with a leap procedure and other more painful unorthodox procedures from gynos to try to rid my cervix of HPV. The only thing that has given me a clean pap is a mushroom compound called "AHCC." I tried it out of desperation a couple years ago after I got yet ANOTHER bad pap and the doctor was talking about taking even MORE serious measures. I found this company online called Wellex and their "AHCC" complex specifically for HPV. I took it every day for 8+ months and then had a clean pap! PERFECT! Then I stopped and it apparently came back. Funny enough, this gyno actually recommended I take it (she didn't know that's how I got my first clean pap). So now I'm back on it, although I'm trying a cheaper version off Amazon that's about half the price. I'm sure my next pap will come out clean and will probably take it the 4-6 months right before my pap every year to see if that finally keeps them clean. Hopefully this info helps someone else!

25 days agoRe: Long Covid
25 days agoTo update the original post on Long Covid, this newer study (October, 2025) adds further confirmation that melatonin is useful for this purpose as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12688923/
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Post-COVID syndrome (long COVID) is increasingly recognized as a state of chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, and multiorgan dysfunction. Emerging evidence highlights circadian rhythm disruption and melatonin dysregulation as overlooked drivers of persistent symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, and immune dysregulation. Reduced melatonin impairs cytokine suppression, antioxidant defense, and mitochondrial protection, fueling inflammation and oxidative stress. These disruptions, coupled with autoimmune responses targeting adrenergic and muscarinic receptors, exacerbate systemic pathology. Preliminary data suggest that melatonin supplementation and chronotherapy may restore circadian alignment, rebalance immunity, and mitigate disease progression, although robust large-scale trials remain limited. Integrating circadian science into therapeutic protocols may provide a novel avenue for improving long-term outcomes in post-COVID patients. '
Melatonin has shown this ability to realign circadian rhythms and now that the latest information is showing the importance of realigning the circadian rhythms in Long Covid/Post Covid Syndrome, this mechanism of melatonin is showing its value for this purpose and adding further confirmation as to the multiple beneficial health effects of melatonin for post covid syndrome.

Re: Iodine for Excessive Sulphur
25 days agoTo Janette from Sydney Australia, thank you so much for the information of "Iodine balances sulphur overload".
I had built my intake of DMSO up to 20 drops in a glass of water each day and then suddenly broke out in hives on my arms and legs. It took me a while to make the connection of the DMSO and hives.
After reading your comment I commenced 1 drop per day of 3% w/w Molecular Iodine Colloid each morning. The hives slowly started subsiding over the following week so I stopped taking the Iodine for 1week to check that it was the Iodine that was helping, and the hives appeared to get a little worse.
I then continued with the 1 drop per day supplementation over some weeks until all hives had disappeared.
Apple Cider Vinegar for UTI
25 days agoHi, my name is Anne and although it's been over tens years since I posted about Apple cider vinegar and how it helped my cat. I am now back to let others know that it's also helped me. First of all, I didnt realize I had a UTI starting as I'm currently getting over a nasty flu bug thats going around. Anyway, I did notice for about a week that my urine was darker and strong smelling, but just thought it was due to being sick with the flu and taking otc cold remedies. Bottom line, today it showed up with blood and pain or urinating tiny amounts constantly. I was literally back and forth to the washroom like every five mins and less. Really awful and lower back pain too. :-(
Then I remembered my ACV so I immediately drank down a cup of water with one heaping tablespoon. Then half an hour later I drank another cup, again with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It only took about an hour before I was peeing nice long clear painless with no blood streaks. What a relief!!! I'm going to continue this for seven days to be sure it completely clears it up. I'll return in about seven days to let others know it turned out and how much I drank. It's now been a few hours and so far, so good. :-D

26 days agoCoconut Oil, Garlic, Turpentine Parasite Protocol Day for Dogs
26 days agoI have had up to 8 rescues-at-a-time here at my shelter, where there are always 1 or 2 facing health challenges when they first come in. I can handle all the minor stuff easily since dogs' bodies are meant to heal themselves under optimal conditions. Prevention is the name of the game! I have found great results with the dogs maintaining their health by giving them this every other day:
1/4 tsp Turpentine, 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic, 1 tbsp Coconut Oil.
I have a clear deep spoon that I use and dose them all at once before our morning walk. Then I wipe them all down with organic Apple Cider Vinegar on a sponge. This is for hot spots from Mange (that many come in with), which works very quickly, but its also for bad odors, general cleaning and beautiful coats! The every other day wipedowns prevent hot spots from recurring. I have been doing this for 10 months and I mostly just have to treat minor injuries now and then, and not raging cases of mange or mites anymore. Ticks and fleas have gone way down too. After a few weeks here the dogs become rather bouncy and happy, and it's like walking Tiggers from Winnie the Pooh because they've never felt so good.
Parasite Protocol Day is only given every other day. If a dog is bad-off when it gets here, I do every day for a week, and then they're on the same schedule with the others.
In fact, for all the dogs here I have only seen the Vet once in the last year(last week) and that was for a broken leg. I realized once we got there that it had been a long time since I'd needed him. The health of all my dogs has been really good and I credit our Parasite Protocol for this! Just wanted to share.
PS - I wanted to add that I have tried Baking Soda for alkalizing water, lime/lemon juice in their water, minute amounts of ACV in their water and none of these ever worked as they would not drink. This is my best option and it's cheap with fantastic results.
