Stopping Blood Thinners for Alternatives
17 days agoIn 2000 my legs hurt so bad I did 10 sessions of IV chelation therapy and the pain disappeared for 22 years. I also took natto and krill oil.
Fast forward to 2022. I was attempting IV chelation again but kept getting nauseous and was unable to get in but one treatment a week and sometimes skipped for weeks. My MD Alternate doctor said she was worried about my inability to take at least two treatments per week for at least 20 treatments. (I recently determined it was the B complex added to the EDTA that was making me sick. I stopped taking the supplement and no nausea.)
Saw vascular surgeon and began a great decline in my health. 30 stents and a leg bypass surgery later PLUS a daily poison of 5 mg of Eliquis twice a day, 75 mg of Plavix at night and 10 mg of lisinopril a day. I had a quarter sized ulcer on my big toe joint and inflamed foot. I knew that the bypass might save my foot from amputation and it did.
My first six week check up ultrasound showed complete normal blood flow in my leg and I was elated. My second six week ultrasound showed narrowing of artery in three places and the surgeon wanted to blow out those areas with an arteriogram.
I said NO more surgeries!!!
I was getting weaker and weaker and was hospitalized, given three units of blood and one of iron. My hemoglobin was 5.3. They could not find from where I was bleeding.
Two months I am still weak and know I am still bleeding and know I am being poisoned by the drugs. I felt I was dying. I had to take back control.
First I stopped Lisinopril six weeks ago. My BP remains steady at 120/65. Four days ago I Stopped Eliquis. My stools are getting brown again and I feel better. Only Plavix remains.
Now my issue and why I am posting asking for your help, especially you Art. I am a researcher also and go to the .gov websites to read studies.
Two weeks ago I started Niacin 50 mg, adding 50 mg a week to gradually get to 500 mg. Am at 150 mg a day now.
I had quit Natto and other natural blood thinners due to bleeding. Now I want to get off Plavix and don't know how. Should I start Natto at 2000 fu and grape seed at 400 mg and stop Plavix?
AI of course tells me to consult my doctor which I refuse to do. They know nothing except what Big Pharma tells them.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated and considered, after further research.

17 days agoRe: Coffee Enema Expelled Rope Worm
17 days agoHello Clare! I had the exact experience ....passing rope worms. I decided to try BORAX enemas in an attempt to kill off any eggs as well. I used 1 tsp boron to 1/2 cup boiling water. The first time I used it, my stomach grew 3 inches in very noticeable bloating. Constant gas followed (which subsided after 3 days of daily borax enemas) and had a very odd bowel movement (where I couldn't make it fast enough to the toilet) with extreme mucus ....nothing I had every seen before. I had read that borax can dissolve bio-films and parasites like to hang out there. It has been over 1 week now that I am daily using this and each day the side affects are going away. I intend to do this everyday for a month and then stop ...to see if 3 months later the parasite problem is resolved.
If anybody has any reservations as to this being an health problem, I would appreciate help. Thank you!

Re: DMSO and Castor Oil for Back Pain
18 days agoHibiscus Tea and Beetroot for Poor Circulation
18 days agoHibiscus tea to increase circulation despite obstructions and beetroot juice to remove them and repair the damage they've done. Drink, then take a nap.
When you awake, if your legs don't feel a whole lot better, go to the bathroom, get a drink of water or otherwise deal with whatever prompted you to get out of bed and then, go back to bed and to sleep to allow the body to zip up whatever work it was doing before it woke you and otherwise prepare for your wakefulness- THEN get up when next it wakes you.
Don't overdo it. I got 8 ounce bottles of beetroot juice so I could take a shot of it on an empty stomach in the morning and drink a small amount of hibiscus tea in the afternoon - every other day. The difference has been profound, from day one.
Hibiscus tea to restore circulation and beetroot juice to further support better circulation and make repairs.
Re: How to Take Lugol's Iodine
19 days agoRe: How to Take Lugol's Iodine
19 days agoHi!
I learned to not mix iodine with antioxidants, coffee, milk or acidic stuff like vinegar.
I take it with plenty of warm water and methylselenocystein and 1 hours later or so, I take a few tsp of ascorbic acid, a tsp of magnesium glycinate (it's 86% glycine and 14% magnesium), borax, MSM, silicon/"silica" etc in a big water bottle and the B complex later with food.
Do what suits you best but don't deactivate your iodine with vinegar.
Re: Capsular Contractures from Breat Implants
19 days agoHi Marion (and fellow BII girl)
Would you expand on your overall BII experience? Specifically how you identified it was BII, the nature and duration of eye symptoms, (if any) and whether you experienced systemic inflammation and how long resolution took. I've searched extensively across sites and groups and found very little substantive detail. It would be incredibly valuable to hear a candid, thorough account on a more health-focused platform.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Magnesium for Fibromyalgia
19 days agoHi All
I see many people asking for updates on how the ACV is helping. Well, I've suffered fibromyalgia for 4 years now and I've had it quite bad and been seriously debilitated by it. I would only get relief if I swallowed dangerous amounts of codeine (i know, bad idea, but those of us who suffer chronic pain will understand that sometimes you get to a point where you just need a few hours without pain). After reading about the ACV here I decided I had nothing to lose and might as well try it. It's cheap and easily obtainable. I'm not sure who, but someone here suggested the ACV with baking soda (or bicarbonate of soda for us Brits, lol), as well as magnesium tablets, which are also really cheap and can be bought in any supermarket's medicines isle with the supplements and vitamins. I tried it and, crazy as it seems, it actually works! It's incredible! After using it for a month my pain level is down by at least 70%! I've still got all the other annoying symptoms of fibromyalgia (fatigue being the main one), but I feel that with less pain I can cope with those as minor annoyances. I have also been taking aloe vera juice so I decided to take it at the same time as my ACV mixture, all in one cup with a bit of water. I don't know if the aloe vera juice has played any part in this "miracle" (that's what it feels like, lol), but it's doing no harm so I intend to continue taking them together. I've also been reading up on cayenne pepper and I'm considering adding it to my regime too. I don't know how it works, but my opinion is that it has something to do with clearing toxins from the body.
So, for anyone interested, here is how I take the concoction:
- 2 magnesium tablets once a day
- 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 1 teaspoon of baking soda (be careful and add this slowly as it fizzes A LOT! ). Add 30ml aloe vera juice and about 30ml water. This I take 3 times a day.
It isn't pleasant tasting but I just block my nose and swig it down and have a drink ready to wash away the taste afterwards. It does have an after taste which reminds me of the hops flavour in beer.
I'd love to know if this mixture works for other types of pain. I know it definitely made a difference to my period pains so who knows. I've got one friend trying it for colon pain similar to really bad IBS and another trying it for arthritis. I'll give updates to let you know if they have any good results.
Sounds too good to be true, but you'll be glad you tried it.
So, good luck to anyone who tries it. I really hope you have results like mine.
Re: Ticks Carrying Malaria
20 days agoHi again, Stephanie.
Methylene blue should not be a problem with fillings and you should be able to almost completely avoid contact between the two by having a local compounding pharmacy make up methylene blue capsules for you. They can advise you on the milligrams to take for your specific purpose.
As far as colloidal silver nanoparticles, the only true yellow AgNPs (20 ppm) that I am aware of were sold by Earth Clinic up until about a year ago. Perhaps you can contact EC and see if they can make a special batch for you?

Re: Nebulizing Borax for Fungal Infection in Lungs
20 days agoHi Tamara,
I would say there is significant risk involved with nebulizing borax water because it has a pH level around 9.2 to 9.5 compared to the interior of the lung surface which has a pH in the 6.9 to 7.1 in the lower airways and 5.6 to 6.7 in the upper airways and nasal passages. This more acidic pH is needed to effectively kill bacteria that is breathed in.
The nebulizing of borax water can potentially raise this pH level to a point where it is not able to effectively kill inhaled bacteria.

Re: Cayenne and Garlic for ED Didn't Work
20 days agoHi..for those saying It didnt work..most people in the reviews had awesome results taking powder form or natural garlic. You cant say It doesnt work by using suplementos cause there are so Many garlic suplement brands in the market with diferent extracting methods...the age of the garlic matters, the Alicin content too, the time the supplement has been stored Also affects the result. The cayenne in powder form in tea goes to work right away while the capsule takes more time to digest....the highest content of Garlic Alicin happens 10 minutes after cutitng garlic and it requieres oxygen to form.Allicin IS what gives garlic the cardiovascular benefits. Most times ED can be improved by circulation improvement, nitric oxide or mineral suplementación specially zinc.this last if you are depleted because of too much hand activity....So if the cayenne garlic IS not working try add a nitric oxide booster ike beets or beet suplement or gingseng.and a zinc suplement.and like I said drink the warm cayenne garlic tea..either powder or chopped cloves. Theres no way the combo of cayenne tea and garlic with gingseng and zinc vit c suplementation doesnt at least improve your E.D. its phisical imposible.weve tested this formula here at Earthclinic for more than a decade now. Take zinc at night that Will help your testosterona recover while you sleep.add lemon for vit c or a vit c capsule.add gingseng or beet extract for nitric oxide boosting.All the best
