Re: Chronic Constipation Despite Diet & Supplements

(AI response) Amlodipine, the active ingredient in Norvasc, can lead to constipation in some patients. This occurs because it affects smooth muscle contraction in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which can slow down bowel movements and result in harder stools.
Sounds like your medication is the culprit. From what you wrote: helpful tips. I learned with food, fruits digests the fastest and should be eaten alone. Takes 20-30 mins. Carbs and veges go together. Veges and meat go together. Your mixing all together making digestion harder. Water and tea 1/2 hour before meal and 1 hour after meal. Water with meal dilutes stomach acid making digestion difficult. You may also want to get Methylated multi vit/min. You eat impressively healthy. You could switch heart meds or go to Acupuncturist and they can balance blood pressure. Just a thought. All the extra things your doing, you may not need to do anymore.
CPAP with Essential Oils for Sleep Apnea
1 day agoI have a crazy CURE for people that suffer from sleep apnea. I've had 6 people come to me with this problem and all 6 were CURED in about one month using this treatment.
It requires the person to have a CPAP machine with a heated water tank and a 1oz. Bottle of Breathe Blend essential oil from Pant Guru ($8.00 Amazon).
Ingredients: Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globulus), Peppermint (Mentha Piperita), Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), Lemon (Citrus limonum), Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), Bay (Laurus nobilis).
Note: You can purchase used refurished cpap machines online at a fraction of the new price.
Set-up your CPAP machine, fill the water tank with distilled water, add 2 – 10 drops (depended on personal tolerance – always start low) Breathe Blend essential oil to the water tank. Hook-up the cpap mask to your nose, turn on machine and breath in as normal while you sleep. When you wake-up, you won't believe how much better you can breath. Repeat every night.
NOTE: Strong odors can irritate the airways and potentially trigger asthma or breathing difficulties in some sensitive individuals.
Why it works:
The long contact time (exposure) your upper and lower respirtory system has with the plant oils corrects a lot of problems like breathing issues, infections, ease congestion, reduce inflammation, etc…
Chronic Constipation Despite Diet & Supplements
2 days agoHi samar,
I find magnesium citrate is good to help things get moving by drawing water into the intestines, but this may be too much magnesium when figuring in what you described as "300 gm of magnesium bisglycinate powder. I hope you meant 300 mg, not 300 gm, which would be grams. While magnesium glycinate is great for sleep, it isn't close to magnesium citrate for constipation and magnesium citrate isn't anywhere near as good as magnesium glycinate is for sleep.
Vitamin C at higher dose can also help with constipation, but can be problematic in some men by promoting kidney stones in some men. If you don't have a problem with high dose vitamin C, such as 2 grams, it may help with the constipation.
The vitamin C and magnesium citrate seem to work better together for constipation. Exactly how much elemental magnesium are you getting from the magnesium glycinate powder you are taking? That would be important to know to see if there is room to add some magnesium citrate for the constipation. Elemental magnesium is just the amount of magnesium minus the glycinate component.. The RDA for elemental magnesium is 320 mg to 420 mg per day, depending if on your sex and age. If your supplement is only delivering about 100 mg of elemental magnesium or less, you could take that at night and take magnesium citrate in the morning. So you need to find out how much elemental magnesium you are currently taking. If there is room to take both, you may be able to get good sleep and ease the straining when defecating.

Re: Seeking Help for Low Kidney Function in Son
2 days agoHi again, Gracie.
In addition to the various fruits and vegetables, melatonin, baking soda and magnesium that I mentioned in my previous reply, it would be very helpful for your son to have his vitamin D level tested. If his vitamin D level is low, it will be very important to bring that level up fairly high in the reference range as vitamin D has synergy with magnesium, melatonin and the vitamin D receptor, which is enhanced by melatonin. This creates a four way synergistic effect when it comes to kidney health.
Further, magnesium glycinate may be the best form of magnesium to use as the glycine content is also advantageous for the kidneys.
In any case, your son should get his doctor's approval and supervision before starting these supplements, to be as safe as possible for his own health.

Chronic Constipation Despite Diet & Supplements
2 days agoI am 67 years old and have had chronic constipation for a long time. By taking one glass of water in the morning containing 1 tablespoonful of Basil seeds soaked overnight in the water, the constipation problem is somewhat getting resolved since I statred using Basil seeds few days ago! Even with daily bowel movement now, it is extremely difficult to have a bowel movement and needs tremendous amount of straining which is getting very difficult for me to handle, the first 6 -8 inches of the stool is very very hard and the remaining is somewhat soft, still needing alot of straining and then the consistency of the stool causes plugging of the toilet bowl. I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago, no issues were noted, because of a recent hives issue I had a stool test done. Stool culture is negative and Fecal swab Ova & parasites indicate Blastocystis hominis, all other were negative. I look forward to seeing the doctor for Fecal swab results soon. The allopathic solution for hard stools is Ethylene Glycol (Restolax) which I do not want to pursue, neither I would like to use suppositiries. My daily diet is as follows:
Breakfast - 3 Tablespoonful of flax seeds in coconut milk with blueberries, strawberry, kiwi, half avacado plus I add ONE SPOONFULL OF COCONUT OIL for lubricity in the bowels.
Lunch - 2 mangoes, 1 sweet corn which has been boiled in water, 4 small guavas
Dinner- Salad comprising of Raw Kale, Borrocoli, Beetroot, garlic, ginger, carrot, raddish, mint plus add 2-3 SPOONFUL OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL for bowel lubricity
White rice with chicken, potatoes or okra or cabbage or zucchini or spinach with potatoes, chick peas in gravy or Gram lentils
Water consumption is as follows:
One glass of plain water in the morning plus another glass of water containing Basil seeds
2 or 3 cups of Nettle tea during the day
2 or 3 cups tea cups of Milk Thistle tea during the day
1 glass of water in evening
1 glass of water at night
For blood pressure I take 7.5 mg Norvasc for over 10 years
For glaucoma I take Vzyulta 0.5% eye drops at night
300 gm of magnesium bisglycinate powder at night for sleep
3 mg of sublingual melatonin for sleep.
Multivatimin B complex plus 1000 IU of vitamin D
Straining during bowel movement is becoming impossible to bear, comments, suggestions will be deeply appreciated to ease straining, having softer stools etc. Have also tried Psyllium Husk in the past but did not notice significant improvement.

Re: Cholesteatoma Remedies Requested
3 days agoHello Colle,
1. Ayurvedic physicians successfully treat this condition, many online.
2. There is a Traditional Chinese Medicine on Google Patents (CN103908557A - 2014) that eradicates this condition without surgery. They use various herbs.
3. Other herbal treatments in literature: red onion ear drops; red onion warm poultice; vinegar 15 mins. followed by 3% H2O2 drops 15 mins; iodine drops; etc. Need to dissolve the cysts. Consult with doc prior to using.
NOTE: regarding surgical removal - every "speck" of this must be removed during surgery or it grows back.
Hope you find effective treatment soon,
Sherri

Seeking Help for Low Kidney Function in Son
3 days agoHi, My son, who is 59 years of age, has had tests done and it has been revealed that his kidney function readings are low. Is there anything he can do to rectify this apart from drinking a lot of water? He eats a varied diet, but I wouldn't say it was a particularly healthy one, and he likes a glass of wine a couple of times a week (sounds like the average man! ). He's also into martial arts. Can kidney damage be reversed?

3 days agoI recently got sick with a fever and general overall lousy feeling. My doctor thought I had a UTI but urinalysis was normal. She ordered a full blood panel and found the Ferritin (Iron Overload) was high (378)! Women should have one under 200. Couldn't figure out why. I told the doctor I take Black Strap Molasses every day and have for years. I was told to stop it. So it has been a few days and I am starting to feel somewhat better but understand Iron overload is dangerous. They caught it in time and I am so thankful. Who would have thought????
Re: EGCG, Turmeric, Resveratrol, Graviola for Cancer
3 days agoGreat recommendations! I have a very indolent form of CLL, and for the 6 years since being diagnosed I have taken green tea extract (450mg), curcumin (1200mg/day) and a swig of DMSO, which has brought my lymphocyte count down from a high of 15.9 to 9.8, where it has been for a year now. I'm ok with it staying there, since 4.8 is high normal. I also changed to a keto diet and I know that has made a difference as well.

This comes with a great kit and video, how to instruction. I picked this one so you can use on hand also. Pick which therapy is easier for you. You will need help with Auricular.
Korean Hand Therapy: look at picture, find coccyx: middle of posterior wrist, you will feel a notch, work from their mid way up posterior hand, you will feel a bone, massage the area, then use probe to more than gently push into skin, when you feel pain put a silver sticker, a mm or so to right of bone on right hand is muscle area along spinal cord, check their also, left hand left side. You might find it easier to take silver pellets and place on paper tape, cut much smaller to fit more pellets then when finished put tape over whole are for reinforcement.
Auricular Therapy: Points: Thoracic Spine, Lumbar Sacral, Buttocks, Sciatic Nerve, Lumbago, Point Zero, Shen Men, Thalamus Point. The Urinary Bladder point runs through the butt and aides with sciatica.
Again read instructions: clean area with alcohol, lightly massage area, start with Shen Men it will activate all points so you can get better reading. Your looking for the tender painful points. For the spine points also check the directly behind posterior of ear a place silver pellets their also. You can reuse these pellets just clean with alcohol and use paper tape. The Thalamus point is behind. Plenty of videos on YouTube if you need help.

Nerve Pain After Car Accident
3 days agoHi Leona,
You have a lot going on with your health, but your first priority seems to be to get pain relief and improve your mobility because being almost immobile may worsen everything else. To help relieve the pain and improve mobility, you can consider Salonpas pain patches. Here is a link to the product on Amazon, but they are also available at most drug stores, Walmart and some markets :
These patches are also available in larger and smaller patches for specific areas where you are experiencing pain.
Let us know how that goes for you.
