Re: Grapefruit Seed Extract for Dental Health
4 days agoAdvice for Pet Vaccination Side Effects
4 days agoHere is my story. We had a litter of 9 Labrador puppies. All had received one vax at around 14 weeks. After doing some research planned on giving another vax at a year. At 10 months one got sick. Initially we just thought it was something she had eaten. Testing confirmed it was Parvo.
Now all 9 dogs were housed together, ate from the same bowl, drank from a common bucket and played in the same yard. Obviously all were exposed.
Here is how we saved 4 who got really sick and kept the other 5 from being sick.
If you have multiple dogs, this may work for you too.
First find a vet that is willing to work with you. Some vets want to treat dogs like humans along with the associated costs. Unless you have lots of cash, treating multiple dogs can bankrupt you.Get your sick dog tested. This usually involves an office call and test costs. Now most vets will want to hospitalize your dog, give IV fluids, antibiotics and nausea meds. Very expensive, if you have many pets. Some vets offer an option of home treatment, that is what we did.
Here is what you will need from the vet. IV kit, needles and electrolytes in an IV bag. Electrolytes can come in 1 and 5 liter bags. If your treating several dogs get the 5 liter bags. Our vet added some antibiotics and B vitamins to the bag. The vet tech can show you how to do a sub cutaneous drip. The IV is the most important part of treating Parvo. Dogs dehydrate quickly with Parvo and that is usually what kills them. The antibiotics are for secondary infections.
So initially two of our girls got sick. We immediately started the IVs on them. Usually if they make it thru the first 3 days, they will be OK. We of course quarantined them, although the others were certainly exposed. You can treat several dogs from 1 bag of electrolytes. Just use new needles for each dog.
The other dogs were still all together. They were eating and drinking. We immediately added 1 tsp per gallon of food grade H2O2 to their water. 3% H2O2. We also put 500- 1000 MG of olive leaf in their food depending on their weight. We also added some grapefruit seed extract to their food. 3-6 drops. All three are antiviral.
We had two more dogs get sick and put them on IVs. All 4 of the sick dogs recovered and were eating and drinking after a week. 5 dogs never got sick. Once the sick dogs were eating, we added the olive leaf to their food too.
Two boys and two girls, all between 55 and 70 lbs recovered. Some lost a bit of weight, but gained it back quickly.
Dogs will shed the virus for near a month after recovery, so it is something to be aware of. Dogs will have immunity after recovery, but there are 3 strains of Parvo. Best to get a vax after they recover. We waited 6 weeks to vax them after the 4 were eating and drinking again.
All the best
Lecithin for High Cholesterol
5 days agoI use the sunflower lecithin b/c it's supposedly less processed. Another adjunct to this is the 5 ingred heart tonic. Between the two, cholesterol should drop like a rock.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar Use Worsened Dandruff Condition
5 days agoRe: IBS-D
5 days agoI have been on the IBS-D train for 16 years and am finally figuring it out. I had to go mostly carnivore/ketogenic and take a probiotic called Lactibiane Imedia. Fruits, most vegetables and most grains cause problems for me. I tried the 3 day egg fasting diet and all IBS symptoms went away and I introduced one food product back per day to see how it effected me and turns out bread causes a lot of IBS-D symptoms for me.
DMSO for Burns
5 days agoI spilled boiling water on my hand and the pain was horrible. I was worried about having blistering between my fingers so I applied DMSO and the pain decreased by 50%. I apied DMSO every ten minutes for a half hour and then once every hour for a few hours and afterwards there was only a little sensitivity but no pain or discoloration. Right after the burn happened It looked so bad and was so painful I thought I'd have to go to the hospital. DMSO will now be my "go to" remedy for burns.
Re: Searching for Relief From Eczema
5 days agoHi Mix,
Yes, I have some experience with aloe vera gel for this purpose. I make the melatonin lotion and I also make "melatonin gel" which I call "melgel" for application to more sensitive areas or sensitive skin. It is made the same as melatonin lotion, but with aloe vera gel in the same amount as the lotion, but in place of the lotion.
I use the melgel in sensitive areas such as the face, anal area for hemorrhoids or the perineum for an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and for the bladder area for overactive bladder (OAB). I describe how to make it here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-gel.html
You can make her a very small amount of the melgel for her to test on a very small area of eczema, to make sure that she tolerates it well before applying to larger areas.
Here is an animal study illustrating how topical melatonin can help with atopic dermatitis, which is the most common chronic form of eczema :
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' We found that in DNCB-stimulated Balb/c mice, topical melatonin treatment improved gross dermatitis severity, reduced epidermal hyperplasia and lymphocyte infiltration in the skin, and decreased IP-10, CCL27, IL-4, and IL-17 levels in superficial skin-draining lymph nodes. Melatonin also reduced cytokine-induced secretion of AD-related chemokines IP-10 and MCP-1 and decreased IL-4-induced cell proliferation in HaCaT cells. Melatonin seems to have an immunomodulatory effect on AD, with IP-10 as a possible target, and topical melatonin treatment is a potentially useful treatment for patients with AD. '
Regarding your dad, South Africa (SA) is noted for low boron content in the soil. suggesting that his arthritis is likely long standing and SA is noted for a very high rate of osteoarthritis at greater than 50%. The founder of the the borax/boron remedy, Dr. Rex Newnham, said that long standing arthritis and arthritis in the elderly can take 3 to 4 months to reach maximum benefit. You also have to remember that in these two groups that there can be significant damage to the joints some of which can take time to heal and some of which may not be able to heal if the damage is too severe.
In any case, your dad may want to stick with it for at least 4 months if he is in either of those two groups to allow borax to do all that it can do for him. On a related note, melatonin has shown the ability to offer some reparative effects to damaged joints from arthritis and other injuries while having antiarthritic effects as discussed here :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1568163722000770
Here is a relevant quote from the research paper :
' With regards to OA, melatonin reportedly promotes synthesis of cartilage matrix, inhibition of chondrocyte apoptosis, attenuation of inflammatory response, and suppression of matrix degradation by regulating the TGF-β, MAPK, or NF-κB signaling pathways. Notably, melatonin has been associated with amelioration of oxidative damage by restoring the OA-impaired intracellular antioxidant defense system in articular cartilage. Findings from preliminary application of melatonin or melatonin-loaded biomaterials in animal models have affirmed its potential anti-arthritic effects. Herein, we summarize the anti-arthritic effects of melatonin on OA cartilage and demonstrate that melatonin has potential therapeutic efficacy in treating OA. '

Re: Searching for Relief From Eczema
6 days agoHi Art
She is very careful what creams she applies, as commercial stuff really aggravate it, am worried about the Cetaphil cream, is that a concern. Have you ever worked with Aloe Vera for Eczema?
Also the borax protocol for my dad seems to be far less effective, do you have any advice? It was very effective in the beginning.
Thank you

Lecithin for High Cholesterol
6 days agoInfluence of Soy Lecithin Administration on Hypercholesterolemia
Note: Hypercholesterolemia; is a condition characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that plays an essential role in cell membranes, but excessive amounts can accumulate in the arteries and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3065734/
Abstract
Recent studies suggest that lecithin-rich diet can modify cholesterol homeostasis and hepatic lipoprotein metabolism. Considering the phytotherapeutic impact of lecithin, this work hypothesizes that lecithin administration in hypercholesterolemic patients may reduce cholesterol concentrations by increasing biliary secretion. Total cholesterol and LDL were evaluated after soy lecithin administration in hypercholesterolemic patients. One soy lecithin capsule (500 mg/RP-Sherer) was administrated daily. One-two months before the treatment beginning, blood samples were collected for total lipids and cholesterol fractions analysis. The results showed a reduction of 40.66% and 42.00% in total cholesterol and of 42.05% and 56.15% in LDL cholesterol after treatment for one and two months, respectively. A significant reduction in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations was observed during the first month of treatment, suggesting that the administration of soy lecithin daily may be used as a supplemental treatment in hypercholesterolemia.

How Much Boron Is In Borax According to AI
6 days agoAI's answer to how much boron is on a gram of borax
One gram of borax contains approximately 11.3% boron by weight, which equates to 113 milligrams of boron. This percentage is consistent across multiple sources, including chemical analyses and product descriptions. The exact amount can vary slightly depending on the specific form of borax (e.g., decahydrate, pentahydrate), but 11.3% is a widely accepted value for sodium tetraborate decahydrate, the most common form. Therefore, in 1 gram of borax, there is about 0.113 grams, or 113 mg, of elemental boron.

7 days agoHas anyone tried Fresubin and had any side effects from these intense calorie drinks? I've been prescribed these for my 95 year old mother whom has arthritis .

I had to try one drink and immediately had stomach issues so I'm wondering if I should give my mother the drink of Fresubin? I'm in France and this is a French product? Thanks
CDS For Gout
8 days agoThe night before last, I woke up with pain on the side and on top of my left foot. It was bad enough to stop me going back to sleep. I googled the symptoms, and gout came up as the most likely cause, as I hadn't sprained it or knocked it. The painful area was also red and hot to the touch, so I think it is pretty safe to say it is gout, something I am quite familiar with as family members have also had it.
Like probably most on here, I have a dislike for conventional medicine, so my cupboards are full of jars and bottles for alternative remedies. I managed to get to the cupboard with difficulty, and applied castor oil and DMSO. It helped a bit and I eventually got a bit more sleep. But, when I got up, I could only shuffle around, and had to wear indoor shoes when I went out because it was too painful to wear everyday shoes or boots.
I managed to get through the day, and night with the help of more oil and resting it as much as possible.
Early this morning, I remembered I have CDS, which I bought for gum issues. I wasn't sure if it would work for gout, but looked on here and saw someone had taken MMS (very similar, but made differently, and harder on the stomach) with success. I then referred to Andreas Kalcker's book "Forbidden Health" and saw it's recommended for gout among numerous other applications.
I added 10ml to a liter of water, and began drinking it a 7am this morning, planning to take it in 10 equal doses between 7am and 3pm. At the time of writing, I have taken 4 of the 10 doses, and the pain has gone from a 7/10 to a 2 or 3. I am absolutely amazed.
I recommend that everyone keeps a bottle of this amazing stuff at hand.
Re: Phantom Music
8 days agoHi Elizabeth,
Have you tried melatonin, Art gives us a lot of info on melatonin. It gives me a good 2 or 3 hours of sleep, if you wake up early just take two more. I find that the melatonin pearls help me to wake up more clearly and ready to go into a new day than capsules. This should help you until your medicine wears off.
Are you a musician, I often see them playing music on the side of a car, on their bikes when they wait for the light. I saw a older gentleman in the supermarket shopping and playing the drums on one leg while looking for something. I said, oh I see you are a drummer. He said, yes and music seemed to keep him going.
Try melatonin, you deserve a good night's rest.

Re: Borax and Baking Soda
8 days ago1 tsp in 16 oz of water up to 3 times a day depending upon the severity of the issue. It used to be replaced in the soil before every harvest. So it's not poison. However, if it's detoxing you then understand your body could fight a good detox and start you of making you feel so bad you bring it back to near ineffective amounts. So if that happens then pull back from a full tsp and move up to it slowly.You need the detox but making yourself sick isn't the goal. Move up to it gradually.
Re: Cataracts
8 days agoI had a cat whose eyes clouded up the day after getting a vaccine. I found a specialist veterinarian who told me to put a couple drops in each of the cats eyes of a 10% betadine solution. After treating his eyes for 3 days they were completely clear. I guess the iodine solution killed the herpes that was in the vaccine that was expressing itself in the cats eyes. Just my opinion on what happened. Betadine, a 10% solution. I did just 2 drops in each eye for 3 days. I would have done a couple more days if needed for the eyes to clear. That is just what I did and the advice was from a veterinarian specializing in such things. I also would never give my pets another vaccine. Not ever again.
