3 days agoSo in gut fermentation and acidosis, when everything one eats just ferments and creates lots of poisons, one should take dose of 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate mixed in 250ml of water and another dose 30 minutes after meals?
If so, for how many weeks, months should one follow this protocol?
What other things could be done to correct this horrible situation?

Topical Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E Oil After Biopsy for Suspected BCC
3 days agoso I just had an in office biopsy yesterday and waiting on results. It is more than likely BCC. They didn't give me any instructions on how to treat the biopsy site. When I talk to my dad, he gets BCCs and he told me that he uses L ascorbic powder as a paste to get rid of them. I didn't know if I should start using the ascorbic powder or ACV right now or if I should let the biopsy site heal. My thought process was if they sliced through it and there's fresh cancer cells sitting on top then why not try to go ahead and kill it so last night I made up a paste of ascorbic powder and vitamin E oil and put it on and then covered it with some cotton and a plaster. If anyone has some useful tips on what I should do if I should kind of just let the skin heal first or just continue, let me know thanks!

Re: Spinal Stenosis Remedies Needed for 81-Year-Old Mom
3 days agoIf you can afford an inversion table, they have them on Amazon it might hold her until she's well enough to have surgery. Many people with disc degeneration and spinal stenosis use this and get immediate relief. Of course she's of advanced age and will need someone to assist her with it but it might provide immediate relief. Many YMCA's have them also if you just want to try it out first. I use mine everyday and feel wonderful after its use.
Spinal Stenosis Remedies Needed for 81-Year-Old Mom
4 days agoHi buffena,
You might consider a two component homeopathic remedy that a friend of mine used successfully for his lumbar spinal stenosis. If you are interested, here is a link to his story and the remedy he used to very good effect :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/spinal-stenosis-homeopathic-protocol.html
It does not work overnight, but being a homeopathic remedy it is generally very well tolerated.
Another consideration that may offer some pain relief while waiting for the homeopathic remedy to start working is melatonin lotion which I describe how to make yourself at home here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
Also worth trying right away to try and relieve pain as soon as possible, is Stopain Roll On available at Walmart or Amazon. Here is a link describing it :
Stopain roll on has no reparative effects, just temporary pain relief. Science suggests that melatonin topical lotion may offer some pain relief and some potential reparative effects.
Please keep us posted on how your mom does!

Baking Soda for Sick Headache (Migraine)
4 days agoBaking Soda for Headache (Sick).
From the Book: A Friend in Need, Facts worth knowing about ARM & HAMMER BAKING SODA as a proven medical agent 1925.
Source: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Friend_in_Need
“Bicarbonate of Sodium” (Baking Soda)… “is largely used as an antacid in gastric fermentation and in sick headaches arising from this condition.” Dissolve one teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in a glass of cold water and drink.
Note: A "sick headache" is a term for a headache accompanied by nausea and vomiting, often used as a nontechnical name for a bad migraine. While it can be a general term, it's most commonly associated with severe, throbbing headaches that may include other symptoms like sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes vomiting.

Melatonin Gel or Magnesium Oil for Atrial Fib
4 days agoMy friend gave me another update on how melatonin gel and mag oil are doing for his AFib after I suggested he try both together instead of one or the other.
First he told me that the melatonin gel didn't mix well with mag oil and the mag oil seemed to cause the aloe gel to break down into very small bits and pieces. So he decided to use melatonin lotion which he said was more compatible with the mag oil.
I asked him if the 3 times daily application of melatonin lotion (ML) and mag oil (MO) to his chest was keeping his AFib 100% controlled or some other percent of control.
This was his answer :
' 90-95% controlled. I wore a heart monitor prescribed by my cardiologist. Visited the afib Dr. this week. Only two very small instances of heart beat irregularities lasting less than a minute. '
He is very happy with his results and not having to deal with the heart pounding and breathing difficulties at bedtime every night is helping him fall asleep faster and sleep better!
So ML + MO seems to really help control his AFib when applied 3x a day to the chest and is improving his quality of life significantly while also lessening frequency of irregular heart beats.

Re: Baking Soda for Stomach Acid
4 days agoBaking Soda for Sour Stomach.
From the Book: A Friend in Need, Facts worth knowing about ARM & HAMMER BAKING SODA as a proven medical agent 1925.
Source: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Friend_in_Need
In order to secure the best results with Arm & Hammer Pure Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Soda) when taken internally, certain simple rules must be observed. Materia Medica, Pharmacology and Therapeutics (Bastedo, Page 88) clearly outlines these rules as follows:
“The effect of an alkali in the stomach will vary according to the nature of the stomach contents at the time of its administration. In the resting period (after food is digested) sodium bicarbonate merely dissolves mucus and is absorbed as bicarbonate into the blood, to increase its alkalinity directly.
“In the digestive period it reduces the secretion of gastric juice, neutralizes a portion of the hydrochloric acid, liberates the carminative carbon dioxide gas, and is absorbed as sodium chloride.
AnchorAnchor “In cases of fermentation or ‘sour stomach' it may neutralize the organic acids and so result in the opening of a spasmodically closed pylorus (the opening between the stomach and the small intestine); while at the same time it acts to overcome flatulency (accumulation of gas in the stomach and bowels).
“The time of administration must, therefore, be chosen with a definite purpose. Usually for hyperchlohydria (excess of acid) one hour or two hours after meals will be the period of harmful excess of acid.
“In continuous hyperacidity and in fermentative conditions a dose an hour before meals will tend to prepare the stomach for the next meal; or sometimes a dose will be necessary immediately after eating, because of abnormal acid or gas having been present at the commencement of the meal. (For the average person one-half hour after meals is recommended).
“A dose at bedtime tends to check the early morning acidity, or a dose on arising cleans the stomach of acid and mucus before breakfast.”
Whenever taking a bicarbonate solution internally the soda should be dissolved in cold water.
Fasting for Prediabetes
4 days agoI got diagnosed with prediabetes a year ago. I was feeling pretty unwell, could not lose weight, and was experiencing neuropathies in my feet and a lot of brain fog. Also lots of food cravings and overeating. My A1c was at 5.9 in October 24. I began intermittent fasting right away. It takes a while to figure out what works, there are many different patterns. I settled on 1-3 day fasts, once a week, with eating what I wanted the rest of the week. I used a lot of saccharin. I stopped the fasts over Chistmas, then restarted again.
Got retested in March, I was down to 5.8, but my non-fasting glucose was high (which had never been the case before). Feeling a bit better. The cravings went away and I began to experience being sated after a meal again. But struggling with the fasts... often I got very lightheaded, my BP would drop, I'd get unwell and have to break the fast. I stopped fasting in May and June, then restarted in July. I struggled again... on the third day, I would feel hypoglycemic. Miserable. I stopped again, and decided to quit saccharin. I began to suspect if was sabotaging me, and perhaps caused the high glucose reading.
Restarted in mid Sept 25. All of a sudden, I felt normal during the fasts, they've been a breeze. My brain fog finally cleared up. The feet still itch sometimes, but rarely. I just got retested. I am at 5.7 now! And my glucose is normal. Yay!
I am certain that if I keep this up, which I will, next spring I will be out of the prediabetes range. I plan to keep going until I am well cleared of this metabolic disorder, at 5.4. (I have not added any of the supplements commonly recommended. The only supplement I added last spring was betaine with pepsin, for better digestion.) Wanted to see if the fasting does the job. And it did! :-)
