Molybdenum
Posted by R Adams (Liverpool, United Kingdom) on 02/03/2013
★★★★★BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
Hi, I tried molybdenum after suffering from and battling candida for a long time, and after around 2 days of taking a high dose recommended by many websites I felt miraculously cured of many of my symptoms, most significantly aching and slow muscles and brainfog. It became very clear that many of my problems were caused by the acetaldehyde produced by the vast amount of dying yeast in my body. Unfortunately after taking molybdenum for over a month I began to develop new symptoms of extreme tiredness and sleepiness during the day. When I described my latest symptoms to friends and family they thought it sounded similar to anemia. I researched the effects of molybdenum and it tured out molybdenum massively depletes copper in the body and, copper defficiency causes a different form of much less common anemia in which the iron levels are normal but fail to be carried in the blood. I have struggled to cure this copper deficiency with copper supplememnts and dietery alterations, for a long time and due to anemia allowing candida to make a come back as the immune system is lowered my candida alas returned. This time I am too scared to use molybdenum again and after just trying pantethine and having some very terrible reaction to it, I am desperately seeking new more safe natural methods of excreting acetaldehyde from the body. I'm hoping there are some herbal remedies that may help. If anyone knows of any other ways of dealing with acetaldehyde, please get back to me.. And BE CAREFUL if you're taking molybdenum in large amounts. It could have been the best thing that ever happened to my health since becoming ill if I had only known to stop after a couple of weeks. Be careful.. It can be dangerous as I've learned the hard way.

I just wanted to recommend to research for a mineral water with the highest silica content. I listed the names of but forgot EarthCLinic has policy against product naming.
I'm not sure if links are allowed but below I have linked an article explaining how silica removes aluminum toxicity.
http://www.naturalnews.com/034607_aluminum_poisoning_detox.html
As I had previously mentioned, this totally worked for me. I thought the liver pain was as a result of other issues I was having with my liver at the time. I researched allot of herbs to reverse the condition. The test results after taking the herbs healed my liver but not the dull pain. After watching a youtube video about silica and aluminum, I thought I'd try it.
Bingo! Pain is gone.

I am doing much better now. I hope you are too. I have noticed clearer skin, better tooth and gum health and smaller pores in just a short time. I've been pulling for 20min using sesame oil every morning. I like it and look forward to seeing more results soon:)

Roec, what you say is lovely and in the absence of a diagnosis and 20 yrs ago there was no knowledge of fibro or cfs so I read every positive thinking book in the bookshop/library and did all those exercises and look where thats got me. There was a lot going on inside me and environmentally I needed to know about it so I could stop poisoning myself. And everyone else poisoning me. I can find anything to be grateful for in this much pain, I cant go near anyone to help them, definately cant take a trip, something new? like paint??? I cant go near any hobby type poisons, can't read a book because of the paper & ink, black walnuts, Eucalyptus and olive leaves would make me as sick as a dog. I can't enjoy the company of an animal they make me so sick, grow veges or indeed do anything that is enjoyable. And nothing is really enjoyable when you're in so much pain you're completely locked up and can't move. But thank you for the thought.

Hi there Robyn, Hope you are doing better. In your last post, you were outlining all that was wrong in life. Bringing all of those emotions together into focus is very heavy and emotionally draining even though what you mentioned is part of your day to day life. I have been taught to do just the opposite and outline all that is good in life when everything feels so wrong. Take a moment to make a list of all the things in life you are grateful for. This exercise occupies your mind and emotions to focus on positive thinking and emoting. This exercise calls for finding other similar ways to occupy your emotions with positive vibrations. And no one ever "masters" these exercises but over time you do improve.
I have also learned that you have to "make" good times in life. When life is shitty or has stopped moving and feels stagnate, make something good. Something good can be a moment to help someone else, taking a trip somewhere awesome, creating something new like painting drawing or composition, paint the house or a room, build something, create something. I'll go hunting around town for black walnuts, Eucalyptus and olive leaves to make a healing FREE tea blend. It costs nothing, very healing and rewarding way to occupy my time and creating something from nothing.
Most of all REST!!! Rest makes a difference on your whole outlook on everything. A tired body makes a tired mind.
And to Rex: I felt it was necessary to state exactly what worked for me after experiencing 3 years of dull liver pain. I did try the diatomatious earth as you recommended but it was very dehydrating and too unpleasant to keep up on a daily basis. Also there are a variety of Diatomatios earth out there. You have to do a bit of research beforehand and make sure what you are getting is not the toxic pool grade DE. Also there is a difference between fresh water and salt water DE. I felt more assured buying DE from the source rather than re-sellers out there that then jack the price up while lowering the quality of the product. If going this route, be sure you drink enough water and be willing to endure the gritty chalky texture daily. I tried to put in my coffee thinking I would notice it less. It was just gross. I still have a tin container here at my desk full of DE from 2010 when I 1st tried it here at work as here I drink the most coffee.
The [mineral] water was easy as I could take the bottled water with me anywhere. I really could not believe this actually worked after spending nearly thousands on a variety of supplements over that 3 year period! It might be more expensive but it was better for me in the long run. I drank every drop of that water, brought bottles to work with me, made gallons of iced tea with it, and kept some in the car. I then gave the empty plastic bottles to the homeless dude who always dumpster dives on Saturday afternoons behind my building.
Detoxing From Arsenic
Posted by Rouven69 (New York, Ny) on 10/19/2012
To Tiffany see the newest consumer report article in current issue 11/2012. Rice is the biggest concern and especially the one grown in the USA. You may want to check other sources because with pesticides heavily used in the US the inorganic arsenic is now found in high levels in ALL rice (and fruit juice etc). The one with lowest level came from India but that was just one brand. So your apples juice made in US wouldn't make any different and apperentaly even organic unfortunatley doens't make a difference. It's sad how this has been so undedected for years and government is only starting to look into it.

★★★★★BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I just started oil pulling on September 18, 2012. I started because my Chiropractor had told me to start due to a bacterial throat/ear/sinus infection with very bad sinus pressure and the back of my neck felt inflamed like I had the flu, and I didn't want to go the antibiotic route. I use EVCO and at first I swished 1 teaspoon for 20 minutes... I immediately started having inner tremors, crying and panic attacks for apparently no reason, so I called the Chiro and he told me I was detoxing way too fast, so now on his recommendation I swish for 5-6 minutes once daily in the morning, followed by sea salt water rinse and brushing. I was wondering, can I be having heavy detox symptoms just 4 days into all this? My throat has stopped hurting and my teeth/gums look great now, and the panic attacks have pretty much subsided, although I still wimp out and cry over all this every once in awhile! But I still have the heavy sinus/ear/back of neck pressure, and it makes it hard to get a full, good night's sleep. Also there's nothing coming out my nose, clear, green, or otherwise, it just feels dry as the Sahara inside my head, and as I said earlier, so much pressure! Here in the Midwest USA many people are dealing with Is this just detoxing or should I be worried? Thanks!

Robert Henry, I got Ed's book also and share your sympathy w/ his plight from the establishment. Ozone is definitely the answer for a polluted planet or organism. How to administer Ozone is the problem.
I bought a Hong Kong special off Ebay couple yrs back w/ the combined technologies of UV Ozone, Pos/Neg Ion Generator, and Corona Discharge. I used the Ion Generator and UV 24/7, for constant air purification and sometimes the Corona for a surge. The first two tech's were not quite enough and adding the Corona was tooo much, so as for any unit the important thing is maintaining the correct level. The Corona can produce Nitrogen Dioxide in the air but is more powerful compared to the cleaner UV. I have since bought a "New Living" brand that is not near as powerful as the HK model (of which the UV bulb is burned up and cannot find a replacement).
To get the best bang-for-the-buck I like the Negative Ion Generators as a primary purifier and then crank up the Ozone to the level that you can barely smell it.

Hi Robyn, Roec mentioned that drinking high silica water may make a difference. If you are considering going down that route, I would strongly suggest that buying a bunch of crazy-expensive water is, well, crazy. Especially when diatomaceous earth is 90% silica and food grade stuff is quite cheap online.
If you wanted to supplement your water intake with silica, put a spoonful into a litre bottle of water and allow it to settle (this might take a few days). Drink the water, but be careful not to stir up the water. You can refill the bottle over and over for years this way.
I just thought I'd give you that bit of info to help you save a bunch of money.

Roec, all that you say makes perfect sense. But theres no weekly, monthly, yearly treat. I dont hear from anyone Xmas or birthdays. Its all because of the chemical & all sensitivities. I can NEVER eat anything different or do anything different as it might involve going near a person or a car might come past. And absolutely forget shopping. Cant sit in a park because the council sprays it, thats apart from someone might come near me. Cant read a book, have a hobby, using a computer for these few minutes usually involves hours of further pain. No holidays, weekends off, just sitting in the car waiting for apple cider vinegar to work. Or all the other supplements. Or the antibiotics. Cant get anyone to respond to me re: stem cell therapy. So you see, very difficult to do something different and thoughts will follow.

I wish I knew more about your exact issue. Are you saying that you know for sure your issues are an overload of toxicity? If so I strongly urge you to research the Gerson Therapy.
I'm pretty sure along the way of researching, you have come across studies, research and personal accounts of how ones outlook effected their health. I will reiterate those ideas.
You physical body responds to negativity and stress but also thoughts of suicide. I know when there seems to be no end in sight to the suffering one endures, such thoughts occur. It would be silly of me to say try to focus on something positive or try to shake it off because I know what its like to have something causing pain that directly generates such negative thoughts.
My advise is to try to become more aware of your emotions that lead you to such thoughts. I realized I tended to have more negative thoughts when my physical body felt very tired from not sleeping well or when I was ill. I was then able to expect such thoughts when ill or sleep deprived and knew they where initiated by these physical states of being.
I take St. Johns wart just before bed to help me sleep deeper. When I am rested the following day I am a bit more optimistic. Just like when we are grouchy when we are hungry, getting rest when we have health challenges or life challenges reduces the tendency of negative thoughts.
Another way to promoting better emotions is through a diet of raw veggies and freshly juiced fruits and veggies, no or very little carbs and meat. After the 4tyh or 5th day your body feels better. Your mind then follows.
Also another thing I'll do is treat myself one a week to something really nice. It could be a really big expensive meal, or buying a ton of junk at ikea. It makes that moment about me and gives me something positive to do physically.
Rest not only helps heal the body but it sooths and rests the mind and emotions.

Im sorry if this upsets anyone but sometimes things go too far. Pesticides do permanently damage. I know now, would have been better if Id known earlier that all organs have some if not permanent damage. yes I did do sodium thiosulfate, carbicarb, pretty much everything on here. I only found the beets protocol recently. Yes, Im still on 3 antibiotics and pulsing in a 4th. The pain is a little less but I cant imagine antibiotics is going to help my mcs and my liver.

I had liver pain after a hep a vaccine for 3 years. I wached this video on youtube about how silica combines with aluminum in the body and then is able to be removed through the urine.
The guy recommended drinking a particular bottled water that naturally contained a very high amount of silica. That brand was expensive but after 6 months of drinking that water every day, the pain went away and I was able sleep on my side again.
Its expensive because its imported fromFrancewhere it is bottled from the source of an old volvic location. When I looked at it from the perspective of this 2. 69 bottle of water being a cheap daily treatment to remove aluminum toxicity, it was well worth 20 bucks a week.
Although, I would drink 3 or 4 bottles a week. I know some people drink that amount in a day but I don't seem to require a lot of water unless its really hot out or I am physically active.

Bibi, I posted this article a few weeks ago here on E. C. As I had been experiencing many of the symptoms listed. One important point, the Aldehydes are a natural byproduct of fungal metabolism NOT the result of die-off, according to this article. I require at least 250mcg MolyB daily but 250mcg 2x daily is best; and 25mg NAD daily is definitely needed to keep me clear. At least 50mg Zinc daily also helps a bunch. The die-off itself is harmful as you seem to have experienced, and especially bad for the liver, so some Milk Thistle Seed would help along w/ the other nutrients.

I went a little gung-ho a few years ago on coconut oil and on borax. These are both anti-fungal products... And very helpful, too. Just remember your body can only handle so much toxin die-off at one time, and to give it time to detox. If you overwhelm your system, you might end up with extreme muscle weakness and brain fog. Seems like my symptoms match alcoholism, although I rarely drink. After much research, I learned that the body has trouble with metabolizing acetaldehyde, usually a byproduct of alcoholism, but also of candida/fungal die off. I've included a link to a webpage that gives some information about acetaldehyde. My understanding is that Molybdenum (a mineral) breaks acetaldehyde down into acetic acid, so that it can be metabolized & passed out of your body. Also, there is a nice substitution listed for prednisone (pantethine - pantothenic acid). I hope you'll take the time to read this page. Seems very informative.

In this one, she breaks down everything on how food works in our body, what each organ does and what it takes from the food to function and stay healthy. It's so easy to understand for us "laymen". Do some research on her, also. Fascinating reading..... she was way above her time.

The malic acid in
magnesium malate binds to any
aluminum present in the body and eliminates it, allowing for healthy nerve cell growth and detoxification.
Malic acid is also known to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to aluminum, helping to draw the aluminum away from a particular enzyme so magnesium can plug into the receptor sites instead. The aluminum can now be flushed out of the brain and the body.
This is one of the only ways to get rid of aluminum from the brain other than the complicated method of chelation.
Malic acid is also available to some smaller degree in the skin of some products like organic apples.

Thank you all so much for all your stories that you have shared with the rest of us on your struggles and pain with your health. We all learn from one another and this website and contributions from everyone is a beautiful gift we give to each other to learn and grow.
I am a firm believer in all the wonderful benefits from VCO. It cured my candida and keeps my fever blisters outbreaks down to a minimum. But, recently I started taking a combination of VCO, (3 tbs) Hemp oil, (1 tbs) Hemp seeds, (2 tbs) and Chia seeds, (2 tbs) which was recommended by nutiva website. I have found that my skin is plumping out and is so soft and healthy looking. My varicose veins are significantly reduced and along with alkalizing, I feel great. I am 62. I thought it was too much healthy fat, and did gain about 3 lbs at first, but that has leveled off.
Another thing I wanted to contribute is I thought for the longest time that I had a sluggish liver and do the appropriate steps for detoxing, ( lemon juice, milk thistle, etc) but while doing some research, I came across how important the lymphatic system is to our liver in order for it to work at its best. So, I have been doing saunas, dry brushing, running in place (do not have a trampoline) and proper diet. Do some reading on the lymphatic system. It's amazing to me how the body can heal itself, if we only help it along. Bless you all.

Hi dayve, nice to hear that your symptoms are gone! Yes I would suggest to continue magnesium, calcium and chlorella regimen, especially epsom salt. Be careful because magnesium are a little antagonistic to potassium. I would take a little potassium just not get potassium deficiency and get dehydrated. ;) I did also and still have barium toxicity because I had a heart surgery which they used x-ray contrast fluid which is barium sulfate straight to the heart. It got so bad I have never been so sick in my whole life. You can trust my advice these which I have told would work is because it did work for me and others. And it is nutritious minerals which the body needs for enzymes and other biological reactions in the body. I would not take vaccines, they are unnecessary and harmful, Research that. May Allah help you further. Have a good day/night.

It seems unreal that Barium could stay in the body this long, but anything is likely. One has to wonder it the radiation exposure damaged the thyroid but I'm praying that it is just toxic effect from barium long. l faithfully continue the Espsom salt and see what happens.

Hi Rees, Most likely you are having a reaction to detoxing from the diatomaceous earth. I wouldn't stop since it is doing its work. DE is a powerful detoxer in many ways. You can slow it down though if you need to by either using less or perhaps skipping a day. I only take a small amount and only every few days. On the other hand, I believe detoxing on a regular basis is very important since our world is so toxic at this point. I do so many things on a regular basis that I never really have a reaction any more. Hope this helps you, Lisa

Hi dayve sorry to hear your story about your health problems. I am not a doctor or any such and especially since I have not seen you I cant diagnose you. But if you want to detox barium I can give you a serious advice. You can use epsom salt especially the sulfur part of epsom salt reacts extremely with barium and detoxes it. Magnesium and Calcium also both hinder it to be absorbed into the nerves and bones since it is a aniagonist to calcium and magnesium also I think. What I recomend you to get some epsom salt powder and/or magnesium calcium tablets 2:1 and maybe chlorella could also be helping. Certain herbs are also blood purifying but I dont know any which chelate barium. Trust me epsom salt is a guarantee detoxing barium. I advice you also to read more about barium at wikipedia to know what you are handling with.

I had a barium swallow with follow through. I was hesitant because barium is radioactive element. Later that night the lower part of my face was swollen with some hives. I took bendryl with aspirin as instructed by my Dr.the next day I felt shaky, my heart was pounding, my blood pressure shot up I had breathing difficulties, and I was sweating. We went to the ER by the time I saw the dr my symptoms began to subside. The dr did not think this was from barium! According to research my symptoms are directly related to barium many people have suffered from the same exact experience that I have it is clearly due to barium overdose. On the way home I had similar symptoms, I was so scared. How does one remove baruim out of the system quickly and safely?

For the record, anyone reading this who wishes they could use one of those rebounder trampolines, yet can't because they have trouble with their feet hurting too badly from it or toes/calves cramping up:
I use a large inflatable exercise ball (75cm in diameter, comes *with* the pump to pump it up, about $15. -$17. USD from the fitness department at Walmart. They come in all different sizes, so even extra-short or extra-tall folks will be able to find the size that works for them.
Ebay (and maybe Walmart too) also has ruggedized burst-proof balls that can take 600 lbs of bounce-weight, so weight doesn't have to be an issue for this. Some balls are sand-weighted, so they won't go rolling merrily away from you when the time comes to corral them in a corner of the room.
I can sit on it and bounce, it doesn't cramp my calves or hurt my toes and feet, it's great. It's even more fun than jumping on a bed used to be :-). Also- One good strong bounce and it helps you stand up too, when you are ready to get off the ball and stop bouncing :-). You can put on some good music and "dance" :-) your upper body as well.
I have read that lots of folks use those vibrating platforms too, and apparently they work well, from what I have read. There's always a way to do what you have to do. Rocking chairs, while not a direct substitute, are not half bad either for helping your lymph system to keep moving. Or a vibrating recliner, if you have access to one.
All are ways to substitute for forced inactivity, or an inability to work out or walk. These are not exact and direct substitutes, but all good ideas- for somebody out there :-).

Detoxing From Arsenic
Posted by Tiffany (Forsyth, Ga) on 02/28/2012
I saw the Dr. Oz episode about arsenic in apple juice too. It was apples from China and South America. I started buying my child Indian Summer brand apple juice. It is made only from U.S. apples.

Regarding chlorine / chloramine removal. I use a shower filter with vitamin c in it to dechlorinate the water. They also sell vitamin c dechlorinating tablets for bath water - I've found 100 for under $19 and you only need to use a 1/2 tablet per bath. There are also dechlorinating bath balls on the market which last a yr before replacement crystals req'd. I've seen 2 kinds - one attaches onto your faucet (looks like a small round bucket) & water passes thru, but I hear water pressure makes it come off/water flows over filter and is not treated. The other is like a caged ball you swish thru bath water. Note -any bath products should be added after water has been treated-not during or before. I hope this helps.

I would not recommend consuming DE to anyone with Mercury/Amalgam fillings in their teeth. DE will chelate.
When I took DE for the first time to cleanse, I immediately had a metallic taste in my mouth, at first I thought it was the taste of the DE, but I did some reading and found information on DE's chelation properties. I have since had my fillings removed, so I'm interested in trying DE again.

Hi Tula from Tampa,
We don't have the funds now to purchase a whole-house water filtration system, and for our son's baths I used Epsom salt, fresh lemon slices/juice and Borax or Baking Soda to counter the chlorine/chloramine and flouride. There were no ill effects from using 1-2 cups of E salt (1 cup if I wanted our son to stay awake the rest of the day, or 2 cups for relaxation), juice from 1/2 a small lemon and a slice or two floating in the water, and one tablespoon of Borax or Soda. I made sure the Borax or Soda was completely dissolved before he climbed in. He didn't have a bath every day--every other day or two suited him, and me. If you do the same, make sure you're son understands not to swallow the bath water--E. salt encourages bowel movements.
Our son doesn't take many baths now since I purchased a filtering showerhead, but when he does, I do fill the tub through the showerhead. Unfortunately the filter doesn't filter fluoride. A chemist friend told me that the fluoride particulate isn't small enough to penetrate and be absorbed by the skin. I don't know if I believe this completely though. He did continue to say that it is the steam that should be a concern. Use cold or lukewarm water and use the bathroom fan.
I have my son drink water w/lemon before and after bathing these days, to help flush his system.
HTH,
Sheila

Hello TED. Im 40 and I'm no different than the rest. I'm going to start using borax myself. But my bigger concern is my 4 yrs old son. I cannot afford filter for fluoride removal from water. So I figured I can give him borax to detox fluoride. but he is so young. Is it going to be ok same amount I consume? And the magnesium supplement for him? Plus he likes taking baths. But I smell the chlorine in the water besides he has mild eczema. How do I make the bath water safer for him besides using filter (like I said he likes to fill up the tub, cannot afford replacement filters.) I came cross seaweed is detox almost most chemicals and heavy metals from water. Do you have any info on this? Or baking soda or something what do you think? Thank you soo much in advance.
Detoxing From Arsenic

Hi Rebel... There is an easy way to detox arsenic. Much has already been said on the usefulness of Sodium Thiosulfate(ST) on this site for detoxing heavy metals. But ST is also used by the medical profession to help recover people suffering from both cyanide and arsenic poisoning by removing these substances from the body safely. You can buy this online or you can simply go to an aquatics shop and buy the ST there(where I got my ST). Usually it is sold as a 10% solution and is mainly used to remove chlorine from fish tanks because chlorine is highly poisonous to fish. The dosage is 8 to 10 drops in a glass of water(half this dose for children). ST is tasteless and easy take. But when you take ST for the first time it is likely that you will have diarrhea initially -- but this is only due to the ST flushing out heavy metals initially from your intestines and this normally only ever happens once -- it depends on the extent of heavy metals absorption in your body at the time. When I first took ST, I never had diarrhea so it doesn't always happen.
My own detox strategy, since I regard buying organic food as impossible where I am living now, is therefore completely defensive and preventative. So it becomes necessary for me to detox myself continuously against heavy metals, halogens, pesticides and all the rest. For this I simply use alkalizing, lugol's iodine, ST, Vitamin C and fulvic/humic acid as my basic strategy and I also support my liver(which is the main detoxing organ of the body) and kidneys using Alpha Lipoic Acid, Selenium, Milk thistle and Chanca Piedra. This liver support greatly stimulates Glutathione production in the liver, which aids in detoxing and purifying the blood. I also alkalize regularly and drink green tea quite often and I eat cilantro in salads several times a week which all helps to remove heavy metals and helps to balance calcium in the body.

Hi Rebel, I think that it is the apple juice that is made in China that has arsenic in them. Dr Oz said there are only traces of arsenic in them but if you drink it twice a day every day then this would add up to a substantial amount. He said he would give his kid's apple juice but only every once in a while. Maybe once a week I would assume. Lily.

Hi Rebel from somewhere... I am currently seeing a Dr who now specializes in a German Listening Computer that reads your body - heavy metal levels, immune system etc. I had a high level of arsenic and he said one of the main causes of this is from garlic grown in China that is sold in all the supermarkets. I had been eating a lot of raw garlic at night for candida and mold so it rang true. He recommends only eating organic garlic.
Incidentally he doesn't recommend organic flour, cereals or nuts as he says a lot of them have molds as they haven't been sprayed. Hard to tell which is better - the poisonous sprays or the molds! The more I read and learn the more confused I get. Thank you everyone for your posts - I am learning so much. All the best.

Well now there is another study saying toxic levels of arsenic are being found in store bought fruit juices. My children have been drinking this stuff for years and I am concerned. I had knew what Dr. Oz had said, sometime ago. But when I checked the manufactors, it did not list the ones I was using. This newest study has the brands my children have been drinking.
I have now stopped the juice, Hopefully Bill can tell me of a safe way to detox my children from the arsenic that they have consumed through the juices.
Also, I use the apple juice / apple cider vinegar for gall bladder attacks.
This just goes to show, that the FDA is not protecting the people as they claim. They first attracted Dr. Oz when he put out his study and now another study is confirming this.
Master Cleanse

I would like to share my experiences with the Master Cleanse. I am 20 years old, female, in good health, and average weight.
The longest I've done the Master Cleanse is 5 days. I ended up breaking the fast because my friend tempted me with an organic green smoothie. Haha. I lost 7 pounds, but gained it all back pretty quickly.
I do the Master Cleanse in the spring time to help reduce allergy symptoms. I also use a nasal rinse bottle, and that helps a LOT. The lemonade has helped me expel a lot of mucous (mucous = toxins! ) but I am still having an issue with post nasal drip.
I have also tried the salt water flush numerous times, prepared many different ways, but it's never worked for me. I suppose it's my iron-strong stomach.

HI U GOOD PEOPLE DOIN, , , , , , , , ,
Thought I'd be smart when I reached 65 and that did not happen. Set next goal at 75 which is in a few weeks. I got my doubts about that number too.
Anyways, let me ramble a bit about what I have learned. Several years ago a dear friend had a stroke and was paralyzed and put into a nursing home. I had never been to a nursing home. I had never seen folks is such shapes. I was shook. I do not want to go out that way. I started to read and did a hair test to see what bad stuff I got into my body. I was loaded with heavy metals and started on a crude detox program. The program did have some good points in that it had flushing Niacin to dilate your capillaries and bentonite to flush out stuff in you innards.
Next we found an anti aging doctor and got into quality supplements and also hormone modulation. Next, I built a custom Far infrared Sauna. Then we began detox baths using Epsom Salt, Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Then I learned of GSE and started using that to keep my nose from becoming a mushroom factory. We bought a juicer and started juicing and we also bought an alkaline water ionizer. We garden and raise our own veggies and fruit and berries. Then we learned of DHEA Chelation and got into that. The pluggage in my corroded arteries went from 50% to 10% so don't tell me that chelation does not work.
I learned that all our vegetable oils now come from genetically modified crops because I personally called Con Agri and they told me that all their Canola Oils are from altered plants. They now no longer use the word Modified because it is not P.C. So here is what we do now.... First we use virgin olive oil and next virgin Coconut oil and last we use Hog lard that I render myself. Every year I buy about 10 # of leaf lard from the local slaughter house and render it in a crock pot on our back stoop. It makes the most beautiful white lard you have ever seen. Now the store bought stuff is hydrogenated and all sorts of bad stuff. This lard is what my gand paw made and he lived to be 90.
We have also done the parasite cleanse and even bought a zapper. We just had a CEDSA test and we got parasite and virus problems we had no clue. That's where we are now. The tester even picked up that I had had a vaccine shot for shingles when my wife came down with it and almost lost her eyesight. I am convinced that Hulda Clark was ahead of her time. I read her book and believe in her.
We do lots of stuff that Earth Clinic folks believe in. We spray our throat every morning with hydrogen peroxide and we don't have the flu or colds, but we also don't shake hands at church starting in October. We do the lemon, ACV, baking soda tonic every morning along with a couple of drops of iodine. I spray my knee with hydrogen peroxide every morning and am good to go. It was treated for a year by MD's with no help.
After our Thanksgiving feast with younguns we will start our 10 day liver and lymph detox limited fast which includes 3 days of crucifers and concludes with a liver flush. This rids you of all the stones in your liver and gall bladder. This year we are adding a week of coffee enemas. All this time we will be doing mineral baths and saunas.
Hell to get old and living on borrowed time. Your strength is your mind, read and learn. Quit asking for a quick fix for there is none.

Bentonite Clay
Posted by Hb (Spokane, Wa) on 11/15/2011

I wanted to add something that I had not read in the comments.
I did an external detox that worked very well instead of taking it internally.
What I did was use one teaspoon in a plastic bowl with enough filtered water to more than cover the dry clay, swished it around a bit, put it the window sill in the sun for 2 hours to charge the clay. Next, I 'massaged' the clay with my fingers to get the clumps to become creamy. Once done, it was ready to use.
This may seem unorthodox, but the plastic bags you get at the grocery store come in handy for this detox. I do this in the evening an hour or two before bed, as this detoxes the body while I sleep.
Make sure your feet are clean and apply the clay all over your foot up to the ankle, between the toes, even under the toenails. You should have enough clay to apply 3 coatings to each foot. When you finish with one foot, put on a plastic bag, tie it gently above the ankle and pull the bag forward to allow ample toe room and gently slip your foot into sandals or slippers without ripping the bag in the toe area. Do the other foot the same way.
It will feel slippery, so be careful when you walk around. (Do not walk around with just the bags on your feet, they may tear and allow air to get in and dry out the clay before it can be absorbed).
Drink some water before bed and leave the bags on your feet until morning. Take off the bags and before getting into the tub use a warm moist washcloth to clean the bottom of your feet. (The clay under your feet can be very slippery! )
Keep in mind, if/when you urinate in the morning, if it worked well for you, it may look orange, (much darker than you are use to). That is toxins that were taken out through your system in the absorbtion process during the night.
Never do a facial more than 15 minutes after the clay dries or essential oils will take some time to return and you may get a dry and unnatural tight feeling in your facial skin. If that happens, you can use organic coconut oil to ease the tight feeling and reduce redness. Or use something natural that you feel comfortable with.
I wrote this note so that those having problems ingesting FOOD GRADE Bentonite clay have options for detoxing.
Detoxing From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Good luck trying to get any help from a doctor, unless you went to the emergency room immediately after exposure. I was subjected to lethal levels of CO at work when the furnace behind my office developed a crack. We had a person who had a machine to check the air quality and he had repeatedly said the gas was high. I couldn't even imagine that it was CO and with full knowledge, no one was called in. Only the doors were opened until it cleared temporarily. I kept thinking I had the flu and felt sick every evening, but by morning I felt better and went back to work.
One night I figured it out, called the air quality guy at home and asked him if it was CO that he was measuring and he said yes. I called my Dr. and they wouldn't even give me an appointment. Told me evening appts. were for people with on-going illnesses, like headaches. I told them I would wait for my turn but said they had nothing available. Went to another dr and was told all they would do at the emergency room was give me oxygen and that is what I had been doing all along (I guess she meant I had been breathing).
It was obvious to me that CO poisoning was taboo to the doctors, maybe OK at the ER. I asked if I should have my brain, heart or liver checked for damage and that was a no, too. I have never filed any lawsuit in my life, have good insurance so it had to be the Drs unwillingness to get involved with any possible workers comp patient. I finally bought a CO monitor and put it in my office. It went off at very high readings and finally someone was called to fix the furnace. It was never my intention to hurt the company but I would have liked to have gotten checked out for my own peace of mind.
