@ Colin (Spain)

Apple Cider Vinegar rubbed into Veins: You can heal varicose veins in one month. Pat full strength vinegar onto the offending veins twice a day. Each morning and evening, drink a glass of water or juice with two teaspoons of vinegar in it. From the Book: Home Remedies from the Old South, by Emily Thacker 2012.

Don't give up on cayenne. It is a miracle herb. You just took it wrong. Try 1/4 tsp in 4oz of water first thing in the AM. It will tingle a little, then dissipate. Expect a bowel movement soon after. Awesome, powerful stuff!

How do you use it for spider veins? Topically or orally?

Be careful with ivermectin. Some dog breeds cannot take it.

We have a bidet which I use every night before bed. One night there was a large bump the size of my thumb that wasn't there before. After washing, I used coconut and tea tree oil. The next morning it was barely noticable externally. The root remained. Had my MD examine it. Wasn't sure what it was. Contributers at Earthclinic.com are so much more helpful.

I sprinkle my cayenne pepper in my soft scrambled eggs. Never had an issue with using it that way.

This makes me think that they may be related to high INSULIN. I've recently developed two of them and have been struggling with high insulin post menopause. I've never had high sugar until estrogen dropped. I've also been dealing with neuropathy in the toes of my left foot and burning on my left wrist.

My old veterinarian dad would use rubber bands on warts, skin tags, and certain cysts on cattle and dogs.

He liked to starve things off rather than do surgery. Very efficient.

I want to apologize for never responding. I was in the hospital for 8 weeks and the meds I was on made me loopy and forgetful. I just ran across this site and saw your post to me. I can't even remember posting the question.

Thankfully I am over the C-Diff.
I am grateful for your response and will tuck the information away just in case I need it in the future.

Again, thank you and my apologies for a 3 year delay in responding.

I took one capsule of 455mg on an empty stomach, and within minutes I could feel the heat in my stomach. It was not painful, but uncomfortable and I felt a bit nauseated. I also got a headache I did not have prior. I won't be taking this again.

I would have to agree. I found that DE works as well. Within 3 days my stomach went down to half the size it was. I only just started taking it, so hopefully my stomach will be back to normal in 3 more days.

  Re: DMSO

I buy any brand of dmso on sale and they all work!! Just get 99.9% pure. If you're in the U.S. I used to find the dmso store had good prices and glass bottles, which I prefer. Best of luck!

PS - I rub it on AFTER cleaning my hands and the sore area with hydrogen peroxide, AND a layer of a favorite soothing oil (i like Castor Oil but coconut and almond work, too) and THEN put on the DMSO. Leave alone for 10 mins, wipe off any excess oil and continue with your day.

***You will need to cycle down on the amount of DMSO you use since this stuff actually heals, not just treats, and you WILL need to reduce your dose. SIGNS - you will need to cycle down when the area stings after your usual dosage. Don't worry, this only lasts a few minutes, and it's your body's only way to tell you that you need to either use less dmso or use it less often. (It sadly cannot send you a helpful & informative text message with this information). I simply used a bit less and dropped it from using 3x/day to 2x. DOSE - I like to use dropper bottles for my dmso so I know exactly how much I use. Like when I was in pain I started at 7 drops on each side. My ending dose before I realized I was healed was only 3 drops, 1/day (after 18 months, two crushed discs). I realized I didn't need it anymore after 3 months of forgetting to use it at all with no pain, and still haven't needed it after 5 yrs now, I think? Not even a twinge! I read a study where it says the DMSO corrects the dna back to what it's supposed to be doing, and I have no other explanation for my healing. And when DMSO takes the pain away, it's like you just realize an hour later it doesn't hurt anymore, whereas with a pain pill I found the pain relief to be sudden. Keep in mind that when the DMSO heals the area, you may need a chiropractoric session or a deep-tissue massage if your soreness caused your body to overcompensate in some way.

Best of luck!! Blessings & Healing to you!

Oregano Oil, Lysine for Ear Infection Relief

I had an ear infection that lasted a year. I had my ears flushed multiple times at the ENT office and it wouldn't heal. So I took oil of oregano P73 for three weeks and Lysine (1000mg) for three weeks in separate doses. I noticed a difference with my ears after taking the lysine.My ears cleared and I had less ear wax. The mineral oil my doctor prescribed me did nothing for my ears and made them worse. For maintenance I take fish oil a few times a week. My ears are 95% better.

If you have swimmer ear or an ear infection take Lysine 1000mg supplements for three weeks. Stop and take oil of oregano P73 for three weeks. Drink a probiotic drink like Kumbucha that you get cold from the grocery store to replace your good gut bacteria from taking the oregano oil. Do this until it clears. Also go to an ENT doctor and let them flush your ears with a hydrogen peroxide and warm water solution. Don't flush your own ears because it can damage the ear. You should notice less ear wax production and your ears will clear.

Just A Reminder For Dealing With The Flu Or Cold, Oscillococcinum

Now that we're into flu season, I just want to give a quick reminder about the homeopathic remedy, Oscillococcinum at the first sign or symptoms of the flu or a cold. Here is a link to the product :

https://www.amazon.com/Boiron-Oscillococcinum-Flu-like-Symptoms-Pellets/dp/B0078W0QOI/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1B2YY6J3H2DMN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Zsk-iGMOhjneBdrhBc_SqfYH20U83CMGwrNrOaKsbbhNbmgTAuTyORcaR2UcSxPd8PeSaIbe2dL1YskZxWzpCcOBwxKIqaQB8npL99mOhxLOsvCYhAZjj3CMbNi451JmGnr0_yXug4rHdAsoUG_mxeVzP3Zd1TXi7AXLSHemiVkAjtCSKH4Ff3bzhHFo91GtgJqAGqqMqZZIhitqvUgqiJNG8GA2wru5lDIWqxkZmlmxPNGiPfAS2Ke35wubAQosnVYf8LIVnj-cfvIjLERMCfHnYsucEPjjoDgKdl9asRg.juVPVGf9Nzh1vFnel8rjJCk62uJV5B7mo6RXjRMYQKU&dib_tag=se&keywords=oscillococcinum&qid=1767675118&sprefix=,aps,168&sr=8-1&th=1

This homeopathic remedy has worked very well for my family, friends and myself to greatly reduce cold and flu symptoms while also significantly reducing the duration of the flu or cold when taken at the first signs or symptoms. Not as effective when taken later in the course of the flu or cold.

  Re: Salicylic Acid for Fungal Rash

That's what's wrong with me. I will try what you did. I have the salicylic acid shampoo and body wash. It might be too rough on the delicate skin under my tummy. It was sensitive when I took a shower a little while ago. I have the wormwood combination too. I made great strides after a round of fluoconazole and naftin cream (a prescription). I also alternated ketoconazole and lemon tea tree shampoo. The dermatologist told me to slather some of the antifungal shampoo on my neck for 10 minutes while I washed up. It has helped!
