Re: Severe Neuropathy
2 days agoWow! That sounds so painful, my heart goes out to you. I personally don't like gabapentin for a drug. I'm not telling you to get off of it, I'm not a doctor.
I'm looking into NMES and doing foot soaks with 32% food grade hydrogen peroxide to try to get oxygen into the feet area. I've not yet found how to dilute for a foot bath. I don't know if it'll work, but I gotta try something. Good luck and prayers to you!

2 days agoRe: Pokeberries for Arthritis
3 days agoI started taking poke berries about three weeks ago for my spinal stenosis. It has really helped. Better than celebrated which I cannot take anymore. I swallow the berry whole like a pill. Do not chew it. The seeds in the berry has poison that is released if chewed or crushed. Look out for side effects of diarrhea or headache. If you experience that cut back or stop altogether. Do your own research and make your own decision. I'm not a Dr or have any training to give medical advice
Re: Remedies for Epstein Barr
3 days agoRe: Mama's Herbal Wound Powder for Pet Wounds
3 days agoWhat is an Epson salt soak? I have a cat with an open wound abscess that has been draining for weeks. It started as a puncture wound, then abscessed. It's an open, small hole now that I can't get to heal and close. I've tried warm compresses with dried Plantain leaves. I just started using 10ppm colloidal silver, but I'm not sure how often to use it. I'm pretty desperate as the vet bill is adding up, antibiotics are not working and I don't want him to have surgery. Any safe, helpful advice is welcome. Thank you!

3 days agoCKD Questions for Art
3 days agoHi Manuel,
Thank you for the kind words of appreciation!
You'll have to give me more information so I can give you a more informed answer.
Are you diabetic?
You don't say how you have responded to the regimen compared to before the regimen? Is there clear benefit or no benefit?
Is there a specific reason your doctor wants you to discontinue bicarbonate of soda if it is not having a negative effect on you or your test results in any way or is it having a negative effect?
The dose of magnesium citrate is inside of the RDA for men(400 ~ 420 mg/day of elemental magnesium), but the blood level appears high, if accurate. Is it negatively impacting your test results or health? If you significantly reduce your dose, will they allow using liquid magnesium chloride (spray) topically in the areas of the kidneys?
My list of supplements relating to CKD is very lengthy and I can offer other suggestions for you to discuss with your doctors if needed, but I would like the above questions answered if possible.
Here are a few for them to consider as replacements :
Blueberry Extract
Stinging Nettle
Silymarin
Art
Bromelain for Trigger Finger

4 days agoInteresting discovery just this past week, regarding turpentine...
Plantain/plantago (the herb, not the banana looking things) contains terpenes! Which could explain some of its more "magical" powers - for anyone hesitant about using turpentine which puts a lot of people off, despite ITS seemingly "magical" powers.
CKD Questions for Art
4 days agoHello Art,
I ran into your post in Earth clinic looking for solutions to my CKD that surprisingly resulted in a Stage 4 condition, plus Anemia. I read the complete post and was surprised by your 5 natural Remedies to manage the condition. I do take them all, as I am a total fan of Natural Remedies since 15 years ago EC cured my gout condition which was so severe I had gout pain every 4 months, and by taking Apple Cider Vinegar with Sodium Bicarbonate I could walk freely again... they may come evry couple of years if so now. Doctors would prescribe pain killers!!
Now I was told to REDUCE my Magnesium Citrate supplementation and ELIMINATE Sodium Bicarbonate because of its Sodium content. I take 2.6 gr of Mg.Citrate for a 400 mg Magnesium daily dose and my blood level is at 2.4 mg/ml..Big Pharma doctors think that what they do not know should not be taken which is not Logical and not Scientific
What would be the Appropriate Dose of Sodium Bicarbonate you would recommend and how to take it? I have been taking 9 mg Melatonin for years now Orally, do you believe thi sis correct?
Thnks Art, and you have my complete admiration for what you do in your posts in Earth Clinic, Manuel
Re: Flowers of Sulfur for Valley Fever
4 days agoI buy it from amazon dot com in small white bottles labeled Flowers of Sulfur and Humco and it it the same yellow sulfur powder my parents gave me a my brother when we were children for what they called “the dog days of summer” when small cuts, etc. would become infected easily. They would give us kids a small amount on the tip of the handle of a teaspoon that probably amounted to less than an eighth of a measuring teaspoon. We took it by mouth being told to not open our mouths until we had gotten the powdered sulfur totally wet so we wouldn't accidentally inhale through our mouth and suck it down into our lungs but just adding it to something else like syrup or honey is fine to make sure it isn't in a powdered form in the spoon. Some people also felt it repelled ticks and mosquitoes once it was “in your system”. I still powder my socks and shoes by putting it into a sock with a knot tied to pat it on with before going out into the field. Beware if you get it on jewelry on your hands it will turn gold black and is extremely hard to correct.

4 days agoHello Don, Great article. I'm going to try it for my Severe Seborrheic Dermatitis. I attached some info regarding Sulfa vs Sulfur. It can be confusing because I am allergic to Sulfa. I bought sublimed Sulfur and I did a patch test for 24 hours without a reaction. I'm good to go! I'm happy that you recovered from such an insidious disease with a natural supplement. All the best!
- Sulfa refers to sulfonamide drugs, which can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
- Sulfur (sulphur) is a chemical element and does not cause allergic reactions on its own.
- Sulfites and sulfates are sulfur-containing compounds that may cause reactions in some people, but these are unrelated to sulfa allergies.
Re: Burdock Root For Neuropathy
4 days agoTo Denise, hi!
I don't know if it has any curative effect but painful cramps can often be stopped with acupressure at the GV26 point known as "the center of a person". This "button" is used for many things and as a regular treatment in emergency rooms around the world. I call it the "human reboot" button.
There is a lot more information about it online than even just a few months ago. Just be sure to check out the sources of the info as it has been kept under wraps in the west and, so, could fall victim to false information spread by whomever didn't want it known.
That said, I've used it for muscle cramps several times (potassium deficiency, I suspect) and it has never failed me. And you don't have to know exactly where it is. You can simply apply some pressure and rub around on the space between the bottom of the nose and top of the lip, right in the middle. Plus, it's awesome to have such a quick and useful treatment for muscle cramps which can be SO infuriating! LOL!! It can be life-changing for some!
