Cure Multiple Ailments

God Bless, Keiko

When I got the magnesium oil, I found that it helps so much more than I imagined. Look it up and read about it. I used it topically and haven't done the suggested foot soaking with it, but it is supposed to cause the body to absorb it and have quicker remedy by soaking. Though I was hurting in my feet due to arthritis and it is much better btw from the diet change and magnesium. I don't have the bone spurs I used to have in my feet that caused a terrible pain for me. Anyway, I used the spray on my feet that were so sore from over work /arthristis also. Spraying them helped them right away. I sprayed a spray on top and under my feet. Now the magnesium spray can make itching or burning which is really minimal unless you spray it on rash/not recommended of course. It is suggested to just rub the oil in with a bit of water to reduce the itch or burn that may happen. It rarely has happened with me but it helps to rub it with a bit of water. Then after it absorbs in about 25min you can shower or wash it off.

Thanks again, Fufluns

I found a book at the library by Dr. Batmanghelidj and it was on how to drink water and eat salt to cure the body from producing histamine. The histamine signal in the body is to alert us that there is dehydration occurring either because of electrolytes or water not getting into the cells. They work together, so if one is missing the others can't do their job.

After reading The Chronic Sinusitis Cure by Phil Nicolay (you can buy it at kobobooks or amazon) which recommends using probiotics in a spray bottle, I tried the juice from homemade organic sauerkraut instead. My sinuses are still swollen but they no longer feel irritated.

I think my sinusitis may have been caused by H. Pylori perhaps with other fungi or bacteria involved. In my childhood I had problems with hay feaver. Since it's summer now I sometimes feel the same irritation in my left nasal cavity. After spraying with the juice from sauerkraut the itching stops.

I've had mononucleosis about 12 years ago. During the EBV infection I developed an ulcer inside my stomach. An upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract radiography returned negative. The radiologist did say it could be a small ulcer giving intense pain.

I think the infection created a hole in my stomach right below the pyloric valve. The pain in my stomach was so intense I could not sleep and lay curled up in my bed until the exhaustion outdid the pain. Since then I have had gastrointestinal problems in an elongated line of about 5 centimeters starting from right below my navel going downwards.

About 6 years later I developed non-hodgkin's lymphoma, type DLBCL with CD-20 expression, on the left side of my chest between my heart and bronchi. Not proven to be related to the stinging below my navel, but after chemo and complete remission the stinging in my chest often occurred in unison with the stinging below my navel.

I've tried to treat the intestinal pain with turpentine in case of candida. But the best result was during vipassana meditation where that exact area seems to have held some emotional blockage or sankara. My whole body was shaking and my concentration remained focused on a single spot below my navel. After some time of shaking and the assistent teacher requesting me to calm down, the spot became bigger, the pain diminished and the spot now moved upwards towards my navel. I moved my concentration over this area following the spot. The area now felt like an elongated piece of clay or irritated stretch of intestines. After a while the burning subsided and tears ran down my face. It wasn't from any physical pain but from an emotional blockage that got resolved.

Afterwards I forced myself to sleep on my right side. I've always slept on the left, which I also did during the EBV infection and superinfection in my stomach causing the area below the pyloric valve to be void of stomach acid.

Sleeping on the right side and massaging the area below the navel helped to clear the pain in that area almost completely. Meditation further improves peristalsis and overall health. I now try to eat sauerkraut in small portions throughout the day and spray sauerkraut juice in my nostrils.

The stinging in the chest stops after inhaling H2O2 water (therapy invented by Bill Munro).

BUT

the digestion and hydration and hormone systems were in a mess with allergies and candida and muscle issues due to stress, then menopause. I read a lot of books and websites looking for answers. I also try supplements and hormone creams and exercises.

8-8oz. glasses water with 1/2 tsp sea salt with iodine in diet on food to keep body from producing hystamine signals

Start my day with two cups of water and then half hour later eat and take my supplements . I like a cup of coffee. (coffee drinkers need folic acid )

Drink a cup of water or two half hour before lunch

Extra water added when drinking cups of coffee or chocolate eaten for desert

Take some cranberry supplements for intestinal health, juice adds a lot of calories.

Drink two glasses of water half hour before dinner and take a second dose of multi minerals and magnesium citrate ( both are filling out my muscle and reducing sags and wrinkling from age)

Drink water before bed and drink a glass everytime I wake up during the night, if I wake up. I use 1/2 tsp, progesterone cream before bed and all my muscles are improving dramatically. I also use coconut oil and baking soda to brush my teeth.

In the past twelve months of trying different vits mins and hormones along with diet and exercise my health has improved dramatically and lately getting back on my water and salt routines, I am feeling WELL.

I also notice that you live in Michigan so I think you are in luck. Dr David Brownstein, one of the finest authorities on the use of lugols iodine, on thyroid problems, on fibromyalgia and on the use of bio-identical hormones (he has written definitive books on all these subjects) also practices in Michigan. He is a board certified MD who also practices Holistic Medicine and, when I looked up your town -- Novi -- on Google Maps, I saw that you live less than 6 miles from his practice -- in West Bloomfield -- just a few minutes drive away from your house in Novi!! Here are Dr Brownstein's contact details:

The Center for Holistic Medicine
5821 W. Maple Rd. , Ste 192
West Bloomfield, MI 48322
Tel: (248) 851-1600
Website: http://www.drbrownstein.com/

So if I were you I would perhaps change your doctor and contact Dr Brownstein immediately and simply ask for an appointment. He specializes in treating people with the same problems that you are experiencing. Dr Brownstein will also know exactly what tests to perform and he should be able to help you to eventually achieve a full recovery from all your problems.

I will start taking Natural Dessicated Thyroid right away instead of Cynthroid and ask for the test that you suggested.

I am going to see my doctor soon. Could you please tell me all the different tests (including any hair analysis that needs to be done) I should request to get done so I have a complete picture of my deficiencies and needs and then may be after seeing my results, you can tweak my protocol to match my particular needs.

Should I add something more to SAM-E to help me with my low mood, depression, anger and irritation. Or should I go back to Cymbalta. I don't want to go back to Cymbalta if I can take something more natural to deal with this. I have Rhodiola sitting at home that I stopped taking to see if any of my reaction was due to Rhodiola. Should I add Rhodiola also in addition to 500 mgs of niacinamide or just try niacinamide right now? It has been 6 weeks since I have not taken any Cymbalta, can the withdrawl symptoms last this long and this severe?

Thank you very much for all your help and advice.

Synthroid -- the Problem

Natural Thyroid 101

Synthroid only ever provides T4 for your body. Natural Dessicated Thyroid provides T1, T2, T3, T4 as well as Calcitonin for your body in a natural form. Cacitonin is necessary for your body for good bone health -- and also helps to avoid bone loss problems as occurs in diseases like osteoporosis.

And here is why TSH tests are such poor indicators of thyroid health:

TSH - Why its Useless

Mistakes Patients Make(or their Doctors make for them)

You should get the Free T3 and Free T4 thyroid tests done instead. These are much more accurate tests than the TSH tests. Insist on this from your doctor.

Here is an interesting article, which might help you to understand more on the relationship between thyroid problems and Fibromyalgia:

Fibromyalgia - its not what you think!

Both getting a more accurate Free T3 and Free T4 test and switching to Natural Dessicated Thyroid should help to resolve most of your thyroid/fibromylgia issues in time. Issues and similar symptoms to low thyroid and fibromyalgia(lethargy, low energy, myalgia etc) can also be due to low iron or ferritin levels(anaemia) in the blood, low B12 levels and adrenal insufficiency problems.

Just to also add that your anger, irritation and depression etc may well be the result of you coming off Cymbalta(duloxetine):

Duloxetine -- Discontinuation Syndrome

Your discontinuation problems of depression and irratibility can perhaps be helped by adding 500 mgs of niacinamide, taken twice a day at meals, to your protocols.

I stopped talking Cymbalta after weaning myself off for 3-4 weeks. I was taking Rhodiola and Vitamin E all this time when I was gradually decreasing my dose for cymbalta. For I week now, I stopped Rhodiola and Vitamin E to see if some of my extreme fatigue, low energy, and back pain was due to Rhodiola. Instead, I am taking SAM-E 400mg once in the morning.

I was on Cymbalta for 5 years. I am not sure if some of my symtoms are because of Cymbalta withdrawl. Though today I have been off Cymbalta for 6 weeks.

I still take Synthroid. can that be a problem since I take Lugol's Iodine now?

Currently I am taking:
* Take two tablespoons of ACV with 1/4 tspn baking soda in half a glass of hot water 1-2 times a day 5 days/week.
* I take 1/4tsp. of Baking soda in half a glass of water 2 times/day.
* Have not done carbicarb protocol yet. I need to buy Sodium Carbonate before I can start this.

For Liver Detox:
* Chanca Piedra -- 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes. Has not taken this for last two weeks.
* Milk Thistle -- 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes
* Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 300 mgs twice a day at mealtimes
* Selenium -- 200 micrograms twice a day at mealtimes.
* Vitamin C -- As Ascorbate, 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes
* Vitamin B-Complex 50 once a day.
* Tongkat Ali 80mg twice/day at mealtimes.
* N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine 600mg twice/day at mealtimes
* Chelated Molybdenum with 150mcg of molybdenum in it. Taking two tablets 3 times a day for two weeks, then off one week.
* Magensium L-Threonate 3 times a day with meals.

I take all the above mentioned supplements for 5 days/week then take a break for two days.

Lugol's Iodine
Dosage: 6 drops twice a day 2% in a glass of water twice per day for 5 days/week.

Borax: 1/8 tsp. Plus 1/8 tsp. Natural sea salt in a liter of Fluoride free water. Taking it for 4 days and then discontinue for 3 days.

Take Ubiquinol 200mg , Fish Oil and Vitamin D3 5000, and Synthroid. Drink RO filtered water for five days and drink spring water for two days.

Be on Gluten and dairy free diet. (Not able to do it on a very regular basis.)

I think I mentioned everything that I am taking. Thank you for all your help.

So I don't think that 20,000 ius is too much. I've also read occasions where cancer sufferers have taken over and upwards of 50,000 ius and more for their cancer problems.

I am originally from England so the vinegar tastes good to me like eating fish and chips. Yesterday's dose was taken late in the day 2 tblps of Apple Cider Vinegar in 8ozs of water, today I mixed up 20ozs with 2 tblps of acv. Did anyone else notice a few more pains when they first started drinking acc? My mother always used baking soda for heartburn I know that's good stuff and she would be a 100 yrs old now. Cheers.

Unfortunately, there is no way that you can estimate, by eye or by spoon, 900 micrograms or even 10 mgs or 20 mgs -- its just too small. You will need an electronic weighing machine. Perhaps the best way to do this would be to purchase both a small weighing machine and a pill machine from an internet seller like PureBulk.com and make up your own pills like that.

The Vitamin D3 should help with calcium metabolism but magnesium will also be needed too. Magnesium dosage -- Mg chloride or Mg citrate -- should be 250 mgs twice a day. Vitamin K is also helpful -- take the regular advised dosage on the bottle. If blood calcium is a real problem for you, I would also recommend 1000 mg capsules(or 1/4 teaspoon of the powder form) of Chanca piedra -- taken at mealtimes or just take the tea form three times a day. Chanca piedra is a mild diuretic that is highly useful for removing any excess calcium from the body and the blood in a safe way. Excess calcium also inhibits iodide uptake in the thyroid. And if you have any excess calcium in the blood -- caused by problems like osteoporosis -- then taking boron or borax would certainly help this problem. The highest concentration of boron is always found in the parathyroid whose main function is to regulate just the removal of calcium from the bone. Calcitonin -- a hormone from the thyroid gland -- is the one that regulates bone formation. So if boron is lacking in the diet, bone removal is increased with a higher amount of calcium being removed from the bone than bone formation -- hence osteoporosis and excess calcium in the blood. Too much calcium in the blood causes mitochondrial degeneration, loss of energy in the cells and also tends to inhibit iodide uptake to the thyroid and so it becomes like a vicious circle -- where a lack of iodine for the thyroid will tend to slow bone formation and a lack of boron in the diet also increases and accelerates bone removal. So proper daily iodine is also important to achieve correct balance in the body's bone regulation.

But the major reason for excess calcium in the blood is perhaps still due to a bad diet -- too much dairy in the diet through eating too much processed and heavily calcium-fortified food.

What is maintenance dose for molybenum for general health, I have the pure powder, can you give me the measurement in spoon size and how often to take ?

Also I am taking 20000 iu of Vitamin D3, what other supplement (how much) I should take to prevent any calcificaiton in the blood ? (I saw in your older post) What dosage do you recommend since I don't get too much sun in winter ?

Thanks Bill

I am adding molybdenum 900mcg per day 300mcg (3 times/day). I will take it for two weeks and rest for a week. Should I keep repeating this cycle for a few months?

Yes repeat this cycle as necessary

What is Ted's Carbicarb protocol? I read the link that you suggested but not sure which one is Carbicarb protocol?

The carbicarb protocol consists of: 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate, 1/4 teaspoon of potassium citrate (or another similar one such as potassium bicarbonate) in a glass of water twice a day.

For lack of libido, you suggested Tongkat Ali. I am a 58 years old female. Does this work for male and female both or should I take goats weed and Maca both and what should be the dosage

Tongkat Ali increases the libido of both men and women. Take as recommended on the packet that you buy.

Do I rub caster oil and VCO in the morning after I rub Hydrogen peroxide?

Do both prtotocols twice a day -- it does not matter whether you do them both at the same time or at different times.

Do I take Ted's lemon/lime alkalizing formula in addition to baking soda and ACV that I take twice a day with hot water?

Yes. Take the sodium bicarb and water remedy at least twice a day 1/2 hr to 1 hour after meals.

Is it a good idea to use Either Himalayan pink salt or Sea salt for cooking and for table salt? If I do this, how do other members of the family get Iodine since neither ofthese salts have IODINE in it?

Sea Salt is better than refined table salt because it is more alkaline and because it contains more healthy minerals. In my opinion the iodine in iodized table salt is too small to be of benefit. Best to take kelp or lugols if you are defficient -- 12. 5 mgs a day. The recommended RDA for iodine is only 150 micrograms -- this is also way too small for a daily iodine dose and will not sustain the whole body's need for iodine(not just the thyroid).

Should I also add VCO to my protocol and how much should I take every day?

Two tablespoons a day with meals.

Should I stop eating fruits because of sugar content Are there any fruits that one can eat while trying to get rid of candida problems?

Fruits contain sugar so no sweet fruits in the diet.

I have started taking LI 5% again with 2 drops twice a day. If symptoms that I am having with sore mouth and burning of mouth don't go away after a while, do I need to make any changes or just ignore them?

I doubt whether lugols iodine is the actual cause of this problem -- which can be caused by menopause, candida(thrush), lack of folic acid etc.

Is it OK to keep taking Vitamin E 400mg and Rhodiola 300mcg per day with this protocol that I am trying for candida?

These herbs should not create any problems.

I also wanted to mention one other condition that I keep having. I get infection in my eyes often specially when I am visiting India. My eyes got mild form of conjunctivitis every few days when I was in India 6 weeks ago. I don't know if it is a symptom of my candida problem. I just wanted to bring this to your attention.

Conjunctivitis can also be caused by candida. Similarly other tyoes of allergies and sensitivities can be caused by candida. Once you cure the candida, these allergies usually disappear.

1. I am adding molybdenum 900mcg per day 300mcg (3 times/day). I will take it for two weeks and rest for a week. Should I keep repeating this cycle for a few months?
2. What is Ted's Carbicarb protocol? I read the link that you suggested but not sure which one is Carbicarb protocol?
3. For lack of libido, you suggested Tongkat Ali. I am a 58 years old female. Does this work for male and female both or should I take goats weed and Maca both and what should be the dosage
4. Question regarding the protocol for under eye puffiness involving (50% castor oil and 50% VCO and rub it around eyes every night and every morning and also rub 1% hydrogen peroxide around eyes and eyebrows (with eyes tight shut!!) after showering)):
5. Do I rub caster oil and VCO in the morning after I rub Hydrogen peroxide?
6. Do I take Ted's lemon/lime alkalizing formula in addition to baking soda and ACV that I take twice a day with hot water?
7. Is it a good idea to use Either Himalayan pink salt or Sea salt for cooking and for table salt? If I do this, how do other members of the family get Iodine since neither of these salts have IODINE in it?
8. Should I also add VCO to my protocol and how much should I take every day?
9. Should I stop eating fruits because of sugar content Are there any fruits that one can eat while trying to get rid of candida problems?
10. I have started taking LI 5% again with 2 drops twice a day. If symptoms that I am having with sore mouth and burning of mouth don't go away after a while, do I need to make any changes or just ignore them?

My eyes got mild form of conjunctivitis every few days when I was in India 6 weeks ago. I don't know if it is a symptom of my candida problem. I just wanted to bring this to your attention.

Thank you again for all your help.

Liver Protocol

Your dosage of Selenium is too low. You should be taking 200 mcg of selnium twice a day. Adding acetyl cysteine to this protocol will also help -- 600 mgs twice a day -- and would also benefit you. Selenium is essential to the production of thyroid hormone and helps to avoid auto-immune thyroid problems when taking iodine. After this post, I will be putting up some research by Dr Guy Abraham from the Iodine Project, which explains why and how selenium prevents autoimmune thyroiditis which explains why and how his iodine protocol cures both Hashimotos and Graves disease. You should read this to understand the reasonswhy it is good for low thyroid. I must also add that the liver protocol that I advise also greatly helps the performance of the thyroid -- due to increased production of glutathione peroxidase in the body -- and so this should perhaps be renamed the LIver and Thyroid Suport Protocol for clarity.

Lugols Iodine

This is absolutely essential to your protocol against candida and is essential to improve your thyroid and hence improve your energy and mood. I normally advise taking between 8 to 16 drops per day of 5% LI against candida. This may also cause a rapid Herx or candida die-off reaction and may also cause a sudden heavy metals detox reaction(similar to Herx reaction) at the same time. If this happens then just reduce the dosage to bearable levels. I have helped people with candida from third world countries -- these people can easily take dosages of of over 30 drops of lugols per day(6 drops LI in water 5 times a day) because their food is more natural and unpolluted - unlike in the west where all food is processed and polluted with heavy metals, pesticides etc. , which is why western people can barely take one drop of iodine(iodine is a wonderful detoxer). Iodine is not at fault here -- the problem is a bad processe food diet which is greatly lacking in anti-oxidants as well.

You had adviced me to take molybdenum. I just bought Chelated Molybdenum with 150mcg of molybdenum in it. Is it OK to start it now and how much of it per day? Should I continously take it for 12 days and then stop it?

The molybdenum will neutralize and help remove all the aldehyde and alcohol poison waste from the candida and will reduce any die-off effect. These poisons affect the body and the brain in many bad ways -- problems like brain fog, forgetfulness, unclear thinking, low thyroid, mood, lethargy may all be attributed to these candida poisons. Molybdenum also kills the candida. At the moment you are only taking a very small dose of molybdenum. I would raise your dose, if you can to at least 10 mgs to 25 mgs of molybdenum -- or at least to 900 mcgs per day in three split doses of 300 mcgs -- and take this for two weeks -- then take a week off molybdenum and start again. I also realize that you may have trouble buying molybdenum in these larger amounts but you can buy it as a powder on the internet -- so I leave this up to you.

Is there anything you can suggest to me that I can add to my protocol for memory improvement, and retention? There are events and things that take place and I completely forget them as if it never even register in my mind. My father has alzheimer so this is very scary for me.

The borax and the iodine should help the brain and help prevent Alzheimers. Another protocol is Ted's Carbicarb protocol -- shown here. I must also emphasize that your memory improvement will not occur overnight -- it will take some months before your memory starts to improve -- this was my own experiencewhen I cured my candida -- and this usually bears a direct relationship to your supplemented lugols iodine reaching proper iodine storage levels in your body which can take 3 to 6 months or longer and is usually dependent on the iodine dose that you are taking every day now.

Also what can I take for lack of libido? There is total lack of it.

I would recommend supplementing Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma Longifolia) which is a very natural and beneficial way to raise you testosterone levels. I would avoid using viagra, ciallis and yohimbe because these just create an erection with no feeling. When you have sex regularly as a man, the nerves in the penis get damaged and need repair -- Goats Weed and Maca are also good for this aspect but viagra, ciallis and yohimbe only act to constrict the the veins(outgoing blood) from the penis and that;'s all they do. Viagra and cialis can also adversely effect the heart which is why I would avod using them. Tongkat Ali is all natural -- and beneficial to the body. Just to also add that, if you are regularly taking borax, then this should also help balance your libido to more normal and active levels again.

I have extreme puffiness under my eyes. Some time people ask me about my eye bags to see if everything is OK. Is this indicative of some health issue that I am not aware of? My doctor has checked my kidney function and it is OK. Can I take something to get rid of these bags?

Puffiness under the eyes and cracked skin at the corners of the mouth can also be a sign or symptom of low iodine. I also had low iodine and puffy eyes with bags under my eyes when I had candida. And when I got rid of my candida I was left with huge empty suitcases under my eyes -- my eyes looked old, sunken and horrible!! So I tried some things and what worked for me the best was to combine 50% castor oil and 50% VCO and rub it around my eyes every night and every morning. I also rubbed 1% hdrogen peroxide around my eyes and eyebrows (with eyes tight shut!! ) after showering. The reason I did this protocol was that I reasoned that muck usually collects around the corners of our eyes -- and we tend to rub this out onto the skin below. This muck, as far as I'm concerned, is a breeding ground and food for bacteria, viruses and fungus. So doing this protocol gets rid of the pathogens in this area and the skin returns to its normal tightness and elasticity -- and the bags are gone.

Many of your problems seem to relate to low iodine problems -- so I would continue taking the lugols iodine as a priority. It would also benefit you to take Ted's lemon/lime alkalizing formula and also taking the sodium bicarbonate and water remedies as detailed in my protocol. These protocols will alkalize the cells and the blood, help kill candida, remove biofilms and also help to remove heavy metals. It was a major part of my own successful protocol when I got rid of my own candida. I would also take the B vitamins in the form of B50 every day -- once a day -- this will benefit you in many ways.

Take two tablespoons of ACV with 1/4 tspn baking soda in half a glass of hot water two times a day 5 days/week.

For Liver Detox:
* Chanca Piedra -- 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes.
* Milk Thistle -- 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes
* Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 300 mgs twice a day at mealtimes
* Selenium -- 100 micrograms twice a day at mealtimes.
* Vitamin C -- As Ascorbate, 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes

Magensium Citrate 400MG twice a day

I take all the above mentioned supplements for 5 days/week then take a break for two days.

Lugol's Iodine
Dosage: 2 to 4 drops twice a day 2% in a glass of water. Built up the dose to 8 drops twice per day for 5 days/week.

Borax: 1/8 tsp. Plus 1/8 tsp. Natural sea salt in a liter of Fluoride free water. Taking it for 4 days and then discontinue for 3 days.

Take CoQ10, Fish Oil and Vitamin D3, Continue taking Cymbalta, and Synthroid. Drink RO filtered water for five days and drink spring water for two days.

Be on Gluten free diet. (Not able to do it on a very regular basis.)

My results:
As soon as I went on this plan, I started seeing improvement. Biggest improvement was in my mood. I felt more energetic and happier. I started sleeping better. My joint pain got better.

After following this plan for 6 weeks, I could not continue it because of some family issues for 5 weeks. Now for last two weeks, I am back on the plan. But this time, I tried 5% lugol iodine 4-5 drops twice a day. After taking this for 2-3 days, I have a severe mouth sore. Both corners of lips have cracks. It hurts to open my mouth wide. When I eat anything spicy, my mouth is burning a lot. So I stopped taking Iodine for the time being.

I would appreciate if Bill from Phillippines will again advice me for the following issues:

1. Am I right in thinking that my sore mouth is a side effect of too much Iodine. If true, when should I go back on IODINE and what dosage? I have two bottles of 5% Lugol's Iodine sitting here. Can I just take this and if yes, what dosage?

2. You had adviced me to take molybdenum. I just bought Chelated Molybdenum with 150mcg of molybdenum in it. Is it OK to start it now and how much of it per day? Should I continously take it for 12 days and then stop it?

3. I also started taking Rhodiola 300 mg 1 tablet with 1 vitamin 400mg E tablet. Right now I take these two tablet every other day, and take Cymbalta every other day with the hope of quitting Cymbalta soon. Is this OK to do?

4. Is there anything you can suggest to me that I can add to my protocol for memory improvement, and retention? There are events and things that take place and I completely forget them as if it never even register in my mind. My father has alzheimer so this is very scary for me.

5. Also what can I take for lack of libido? There is total lack of it.

6. I have extreme puffiness under my eyes. Some time people ask me about my eye bags to see if everything is OK. Is this indicative of some health issue that I am not aware of? My doctor has checked my kidney function and it is OK. Can I take something to get rid of these bags?

I will really appreciate Bill if you can please guide me with my protocol. Thank you very much. Every thing you suggested last time worked for me.

Something else that I have considered that could indeed help you is Magnet therapy. I have proly already mentioned it, but I have had good results, and especially recently w/ a very powerful magnet. Strength is key. A large Magnet from a blown speaker would work. You can administer this yourself, with the exception of the back and spinal area which would need an assistant. In the case of your heavy metals, you might need to use some Fulvic Acid, Coriander /Cilantro as some of these metals will displace during treatment. A clay footbath will work good for capturing these loosed heavy metals.

Back to the Comfrey. I said "detoxifier" which isn't exactly true; it's a good "purifier" as it chelates toxins to the liver for detox. Also, Comfrey is a good healer especially of the epithelial tissues like Lung, Kidneys, Intestines. Just getting those organs "re-built" alone would help.

As for remedies, I have two things in mind that might help. One, an age old herbal that has broad spectrum effect from detoxification to healing ---Comfrey. Yes, it is toxic in high doses or continual usage, just begin small and increase. I experienced toxicity issues w/ Comfrey but got much alleviation by upping my Milk Thistle and adding NAC (the active pyrrolidazine alkaloids deplete glutathione in the liver). How about my often recommended Zinc / Vit-A ?? which would surely help heal the gut and build immunity, and are somewhat affordable nutrients. Second, I too suffer major ATP or energy productions issues and nothing has been more helpful than Quercetin. 250mg has noticeable effects that last all day. A new form which is touted to be much more absorbable and effective is the dehydroquercetin (hope this spelling is correct); I haven't tried this form yet, but from the natural plant derived extract form alone being so helpful, I can't help but believe that as little as 250mg of the dehydro form would do a major lift in your energy. If either or both these nutrients could get you back to a level of hope and possibility it would maybe begin a few more positive things to occur.

I have made minor improvements in the last few months, but am yet on unsustainable course, unless I can make at least one major improvement. Like yourself, I face the high likelihood of simply succumbing to the laws of nature.

Hope this helps. Keep in touch.

Should I be taking green tea if I am trying to avoid Fluoride?

Although there is a possibility of Green Tea containing fluoride, the reason you are taking GT is to help you remove heavy metals efficiently from your body. And so if you are also taking lugol's Iodine -- then this will help to remove both fluorine and bromine from the body at the same time. So where is the conflict? For myself, I always take both green tea AND lugol's iodine regularly on a daily basis to avoid the fluorine problem but this choice is really yours.

Will all of these help my insomnia, memory loss and complete lack of libido. Or should I add some other supplements to my routine?

There can be several reasons for the above problems. A main reason for the above problems could be because of a lack of iodide for the thyroid -- which causes a drop in the body's overall metabolic rate where your body processes became less effeicient in other words. So the thyroid can also be thought of as a governor of the the body's hormonal sytem because every hormone receptor in the body(not just the thyroid gland) needs iodine/iodide to work efficiently. Other nutrients that will also help you to increase energy and relax are methyl cobolamine(B12 -- 1000 mcgs per day) and Magnesium Threonate. You can also use Mag Citrate or Mag gluconate(250 mgs twice a day) as alternatives.

What dosage is good for me for adding Sodium Molybdate or Molybdenum to my protocol. How do I take this, and do I take this everyday and for how long?

Ted recommends taking between 10mgs and 25 mgs of Sodium Molybdate a day for only about two weeks, which is a much higher daily dosage than the recommended RDA max of 900 micrograms per day. Therefore, you will most likely have difficulty getting dosages higher tha 900 mcgms unless you buy the powder form. But even 900 mcg dosages of molybdenum can be helpful to your problems.

1. I will not take hydrogen Peroxide as you suggested.
2. Should I be taking green tea if I am trying to avoid Fluoride?
3. Will all of these help my insomnia, memory loss and complete lack of libido. Or should I add some other supplements to my routine?
4. What dosage is good for me for adding Sodium Molybdate or Molybdenum to my protocol. How do I take this, and do I take this everyday and for how long?

Thank you again for your wonderful advice. Hopefully, all of this will help me feel better so I can live a productive life.

Many people are also in the doctor's mindset where they expect to take perhaps a few pills for a while in the morning and they will be quickly cured. This cure, of course, rarely if ever materializes when you have a serious autoimmune disorder like Heart Disease or Arthritis or even Candida. A certain greater effort has to be made by the sufferer if he or she uses alternative remedies. And if the sufferer infers that this is too inconvenient and their job is more important than their health then, further on down the timeline after using just drugs, when the disease progresses unabated and he or she then becomes completely incapacitated and they lose job as a result -- where are they then ?

When modern medicine describes a disease as autoimmune or idiopathic, this simpy means that modern medicine does not have any damn clue at all what causes that disease. So, in the end, how can modern medicine cure your autoimmune disease when they don't even understand it's etiology properly ?

If people are still eating processed or poor nutritional food -- and this is very hard to avoid nowadays -- then supplementing nutrients such as Iodine, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Zinc, the B Vitamins etc on a daily basis and in proper orthomolecular dosages becomes an urgent daily health necessity.

Lastly, I read a wonderful explanation on the difference between modern medicine and TCM the other day. Modern medicine deals with the study of disease whereas TCM deals mainly with the study and promotion of good health for the body. That's it in a nutshell.

How long should I keep taking these for liver detox?

I still take the liver detox on a daily basis myself as a preventative. I do his because it addresses the serious lack of minerals and anti-oxidants in our western diets. The same argument goes for magnesium. So I take the liver detox combination regularlly, which also helps to purify the blood and keep free radicals down to safe manageable levels. So in this respect it is also an anti-aging and an immune boosting protocol as well.

Lugol's Iodine (Since I have Hashimoto, is it OK to try this? If yes, how long should I keep taking this?).

I also take 4 about drops(25 mgs) of 5% iodine every two days or so (you should be taking 8 drops LI at a minimum if you can). This promotes stomach and intestinal health, boosts the immune system, kills candida, helps to maintains a healthy thyroid and detoxes the body all at the same time. This is also a regular part of my own protocol that address the sad lack of iodine in our diets now.

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 3 drops of 3% H2O2 in one glass taken in the morning to help the energy level. (How Long should one keep taking this)?

I also take this at twice a day. Since 90% of western food is now acid forming in our bodies it would seem to make complete sense to take baking soda on a daily basis to help promote a healtheir alkaline environment (ie blood) for our bodies. The same argument goes for taking ACV and baking soda -- which acts to alkalize the intracellular environment as well.

Although Hydrogen Peroxide is normally highly useful, I would avoid using it in your protocol because it tends to greatly deplete and neutralize anti-oxidants in the blood and can complicate your regimen unnecessarily. Also, for Hashimoto's, excess hydrogen peroxide is actually part of the problem in the thyroid cells. Read this research article:

http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-22/IOD_22.htm

Simply put, the thyroid cells naturaly produce HP free radicals during transformation of Thyroglobulin to T3 and T4. If there is not enough glutathione peroxidase enzyme(as anti-oxidant), then the excess HP free radicals will tend to damage the cell while also transforming the thyroglobulin into new protein compounds that are then regarded as foreign protein bodies by the body's immune system -- hence the antibodies end up attacking the thyroid cells -- causing the nodular damage. This is why taking selenium is so important -- selenium is the central metallic atom for the glutathione peroxidase(GP) enzyme that is so essential and important for safe thyroid T3 and T4 production. Also, sulphur is essential for GP, so eating garlic or eating a handful of Brazil nuts(also high in selenium and cysteine) every day will help keep your GP levels high in order to help cope with and successfully neutrlize the excessive HP free radicals produced in your thyroid cells during hormone production. Supplementing Lugol's Iodine will also help in this respect because it is also a powerful anti-oxidant.

If you also regularly eat a handful of cilantro in salads 3 times a week and drink green tea daily, this will also help to remove heavy metals. Iodine will also help to remove cadmium, lead, mercury, aluminium, arsenic, bromine and fluorine from the body. Adding half a teaspoon of sea salt daily(taken with water) or taking humic acid daily will also help to detox the body of poisons from pesticides etc.

It is also well known through research that candida complications can occur in many autoimmune diseases such as later stage Hepatitis C, HIV AIDS and Cancer -- to name but a few. There was also one large research study that found that 80% of all Fibromylagia patients also had candida. So if you have candida and only address the fibro and Hashimoto's then you will have great difficulty curing these without also addressing the candida problem.

You can quickly check for candida by looking at your tongue in a mirror. If your tongue is pink then you may not have candida --- but if it is white then there is a great likelihood of a candida infection. To be sure -- take this questionnaire for confirmation:

http://www.flora-balance.com/candida_questionnaire_long.php

If you also have a hair analysis(quite cheap) this will tell you what minerals you are lacking and, specifically, what heavy metals you have in excess in your body and you can adjust your daily nutrients accordingly. Here, you are addressing the root cause of your Fibro, Hashimoto's and possible candida problems -- caused by a greatly weakened immune system.

Further useful information can be gleaned from various books by Dr David Brownstein. Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It and Overcoming Thyroid Problems are both excellent books that will give you unbiased and honest proof of the effectiveness of lugol's iodine in the treatment of all types of thyroid problems -- including Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

It is also advisable for you to take the full iodine protocol which is given here:

http://iodine4health.com/special/nutrients/protocol.htm

Work up to the full lugols iodine dose slowly to avoid excessive die-off and detox reactions.

If you do find that you also have candida, your current protocols should be suffcient to kill off this candida infection as well as deal with the Hashimoto's and the Fibro. And if you do have candida -- I would also add Sodium Molybdate or Molybdenum to your protocol at the dosages that Ted from Bangkok recommends if you can. This will not only help to kill off the candida, but will also help to greatly reduce the brain fog, pain and will also help remove the poisonous alcohols and aldehyde waste causing such debilitating symptoms during the die-off.

Take two tablespoons of ACV with 1/2 tspn sodium bicarbonate in half a glass of water three times a day with split doses of between 300-600 mgs magnesium Gluconate per day.

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 3 drops of 3% H2O2 in one glass taken in the morning to help the energy level. (How Long should one keep taking this)?

For Liver Detox:
* Chanca Piedra -- 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes.
* Milk Thistle -- 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes
* Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 300 mgs twice a day at mealtimes
* Selenium -- 100 micrograms twice a day at mealtimes.
* Vitamin C -- As Ascorbate, 1000 mgs twice a day at mealtimes

How long should I keep taking these for liver detox?

Lugol's Iodine (Since I have Hashimoto, is it OK to try this? If yes, how long should I keep taking this?).

Dosage: 2 to 4 drops twice a day in a glass of water.

Borax: 1/8 tsp. Plus 1/8 tsp. natural sea salt in a liter of Fluoride free water.

Take CoQ10, Fish Oil and Vitamin D3, Continue taking Cymbalta, and Synthroid. Try RO filtered water for a few weeks. Be on Gluten free diet.

I'm already learning that my body seems to respond quite fiercely to substances it is not familiar with. I soaked my feet in ½ bleach and ½ water and ended up with dreadful skin eruptions around root of toes and front part of foot. Fortnight later and it is still oozing some pus and turning blue under the skin. Fortunately, I had both my feet in the same solution for the same times and the other foot came out just the same as it had gone in. If I had only put my fungussed foot in, I would have been so worried. Yesterday I took the first 1/8 of borax in litre water and ended up with bad neck/headache, so I did not take today. The kind of neck/headache very much reminded me of a similar pain I had more than 10years ago when I took lamisil for fungus toenails. Only 2 days of this medication left me unable to move around due to neck/headache and tests revealed that my liver could not handle it. So I am suspecting that again my liver is not coping and will take on board your feedback to support liver function and do some research how best to do that. I will also start with very low amounts of whatever new supplement I am taking to lessen detox effects.

I am confused about your feedback to take full mineral and vitamin support to address nutrients lacking in my diet, as my understanding from other earthclinic info is that with severe acidity metabolism is not functioning properly and unable to absorb the goodness of supplements. For the last 2 years my diet (fruits, vegies, herbs) come straight out of the quality soil of my organic garden, yet I am obviously not absorbing the goodness of this either. On top of that, I couldn't afford too many of those supplements either. It would help me to know which supplements are truly essential to take and to what extend malabsorption would detrimentally influence their effectiveness.

Can removing heavy metal, if that is present in my body, taken care of at a later stage when alkalising and candida has been taken care of?

One last question, when my body starts detoxing could that further spike my high blood pressure?

Good health to you and all other earthclinic contributors.

To confirm whether you do have candida and for your own peace of mind -- take the test questionnaire at this site: http://www.flora-balance.com/candidaquestionnairelong.php

The full candida protocol is shown here: https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/candida2.html

Just some notes about the protocol that you have decided on:

* Borax is a good candida killer and fluoride remover, but using lugol's iodine(as recommended in the protocol) as well borax will make your protocol even more effective. I have had great success using this borax/lugols iodine combination in candida protocols that I have recommended for other people by email. Using borax with lugols iodine together is a very strong remedy. Not only does it kill the candida in the intestines and in the blood, iodine also chelates and removes cadmium, aluminium, mercury, lead and arsenic from the body and is the main remedy for removing bromine and fluorine from the body.

* Your heavy metal detox can also be improved by eating raw cilantro in salads 3 times a week and also drinking green tea several times a day. Chlorella is another good one for removing heavy metals from the body.

* Fulvic/humic acid does not come from chicken livers. Ted recommends liquidized chicken livers as a good daily nutrient baseline for all your vitamin, mineral and amino acid needs in the body. Although I agree with this, I prefer taking the dessicated liver tablets. Humic acid is found in pre-carbonacious rock stratas where dead plants have turned into 75 million year old humus or humic acid. Thermodynamic pressure has also been applied to these plant deposits which then become highly complex molecules that will help to kill candida(anti-biofilm), anti-viral, detox the body, supply trace minerals to the body, heal intestines and do alot more besides.

Ted also now recommends taking Sodium Molybdate for candida and this is also a very effective candida killer. Another advantage of taking molybdenum is that it neutralizes aldehydes by helping to increase a body enzyme called aldehyde oxidase which removes aldehydes from the body -- aldehydes are a main aflatoxin excreted by the candida. The only trouble is that you have to buy the powder form of molybdate to be able to take the 10 - 20 mg dose that Ted recommends -- the pill form RDA dosage maximum for molybdenum is only about 900 micrograms.

Your other problems -- calcified pineal gland, myalgia and bone pain, fibromyalgia, serious toenail fungus, malabsorption of nutrients etc should all be helped with this protocol, since they would all seem to be related to your candida problems.

Overall all your protocol is pretty good but please take note of the diet with this protocol which is also very important. Hopefully I've clarifed some aspects of this protocol for you.

In putting my health plan together I am mostly guided by keeping it simple and by Ted's?? advise: "Therefore, above all else, you must first concentrate on restoring and healing your intestines in order to restore your nutritional pathways". To put my health plan in context,

these are my health issues : Urinary and saliva pH remains around pH 5.5, already for years in spite of cutting out all acid forming foods. I am diagnosed with high blood pressure (varying 150/78-178/82), calcified pineal gland, fibromyalgia, prolapsed bladder and bowel. Further I have long standing lower back/shoulder/hip pain, sleeping issues (waking up after 2-3hrs), serious toenail fungus, suspected candida and mal-absorption of nutrients and gained 10kg in last 5 years in spite of healthy home grown organic diet (no sugar, processed foods, soft drinks, alcohol, red meat, minimal gluten and dairy intake and one cup of coffee first thing in the morning. I use only VCO, have tsp. Camu camu daily, trransdermal magnesium as needed, changed to boiled tank water as tap water fluorided and have hardly used any pharmaceutical drugs throughout my life). I am now 68 and my health is deteriorating; I am needing to do something now, before it is too late to improve my health.
- Alkalising: minimum urinary pH of 6.5, ideally 7. The salivary pH is ideally 7.3, but minimum is 7. For simplicity sake, both urinary pH and salivary pH should generally be 7)
- Ted's bicarb and water remedy 3 times a day, ½ hour to 1 hour after finishing your meals. Take the ACV or lemon/lime remedy with bicarb and water in between meals.
- Borax: upto 1/4 tsp on a litre water sipped through the day for only 4 out of 7 A hormone balancer, fluoride remover and the ultimate fungal killer. Borax can also kill mycoplasma, a strange fungal like bacteria that can also infect your intestines as well as the rest of your body.
- Magnesium: For boron (compound of Borax) to be fully effective in reversing tissue calcification ample magnesium is required. For elderly individuals I recommend 400 to 600 mg of magnesium together with the daily borax supplementation spaced out during the day, and with protracted joint problems additional trans-dermal magnesium. Transdermal magnesium is bypassing necessity of needing to be digested and absorbed through ill-functioning intestines and will help resolve calcium problems and tissue pain. Spray areas once a day and let dry. Magnesium Chloride also has further beneficial effect on body as it is involved in over 300 enzyme and co-enzyme processes. The best magnesium supplements to take are Mag Chloride, Mag Citrate or Mag gluconate. Magnesium should definitely help your tissue acidity and is involved in over 300 major enzyme processes in your body and is a very important mineral
- Sea Salt: Take at least half a tsp of sea salt a day with water. Few seem to realise that sodium, in the form of sea salt and in proper amounts, is essential to the absoption pathways at the intestines/blood and at the blood/cells levels where sodium is traded out of the cell, via sodium pumps or symporters, for other essential minerals. If you don't take enough sea salt, your mineral absorption pathways will therefore be impaired. If you take sea salt then you should also drink more water to help detox the blood in order to maintain proper mineral/water balance. Sea salt also acts like a safe antibiotic in the intestines and delivers many other beneficial micro-minerals safely to the body.
- Glutamine: 500mgs twice a day with meals. because of its beneficial healing effects on the intestines

Daily liquid intake
- 50 ml of water mixed with ½ tsp of sea salt in the morning
- 100ml of juice with 100ml water and mixed with 50ml of Aloe Vera gel- 1 hr before food
- 50ml of warm water mixed with camu camu and 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper after lunch
- 1 litre water with whole ground lemon incl. 6ml hawthorn berries extract during the day
- 1 litre water mixed with 1/4 tsp borax sipped throughout the day

For high blood pressure:
- Hawthorn berries: 3x daily 1-2ml daily in small quantity of water (shake before use)
- Frozen whole lemons grounded: high potassium beneficial for hbb

Phase 2: Enhancing intestinal health, mineral absorption and immune system
- Humic/Fulvic Acid: (dosis???) Raw chicken liver. Fulvic acid helps to make all the foods you eat bioavailable and this will increase all the mineral almost across the board, to optimum levels. Taking a fulvic acid supplements will normalize the mineral balance greatly within a month. Raw chicken liver is the best humic/fulvic acid source.
- Vitamin C: Continue 1 tsp of camu camu

For immune system: Niacinamide: 500 mgs 3x daily at mealtimes taken with (B50 once daily ). Niacin and niacinamide also help kill candida

B3 can increase the effectiveness of the immune system by a factor of 1000. This fact alone will help your body to more effectively defeat any pathogen in the body. B3 should always be taken with B50 or B100 complex for its synergistic effecs.

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to read and maybe improve on my plan

I bought golden seal, tea tree oil. Co-q10 head lice for my smelly scalp. I apply it the moment I got my stuff! A givenooria (wrong spelling) shampoo and conditioner! All from online. It seriously does help me with scalp odor. but the headlice smell as in the stuff I used is still there.

Doesn't smell already! I also bought givoneerina shampoo and conditioner! My hair IS SUPER SOFT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! Lols.. and also many other stuff.. I've bought artichoke pills, co-q10 also. I started popping pills like they were sweets.

MY URINE IS ALSO VERY SMELLY TOO. even though after I urine 20-30mins I went to toilet again, I was LIKE WTH IS THE SMELL. I'VE BEEN TAKING CANDIDIA CLEAR TOO.. IT DID SUBISDE THE SMELL. BUT I THINK THE EFFECT HAS WORN OFF. COZ I'M STILL HAVING SMELLY URINE THOUGH WHEN I PEE IS CRSYTAL CLEAR! BUT THE ODOR IS STILL THERE.

1) for how long does golden seal help? does it comes out with vaginal discharge when ur took it too? thanks!

thanks~

I'm sorry to hear you keep bumping into road blocks. I still say, don't give up! I know it can be discouraging but keep working to move forward. Let me know when you get that earthing mat!

Peace to you, Lisa

I did some yoga stretches, sore of course, but extreme pain!!! Feels like poison. I cant use a sauna, I cant take any heat - I assume my adrenals, so I just take coriander, sodium thiosulphate, chlorella, wheat grass, lots of greens. It could also be calcium in my tissues. But how would I know? My hair analysis says both.

As for the stem cell therapy, I went to ASCAAC in Ecuador. They now have clinics in the Grand Cayman Islands and Trinidad where a few of my friends have gone. You can google them and find their website. When you say the one in Oz is only experimental, does that mean they are not treating people?

Anyway, let me know how the earthing mat works out. I know you have done so much work at trying to find an answer as I have watched your posts for a long time so I hesitate to ask but, have you looked into enzymes? Wishing you the best, Lisa

Also, did you check into the EMF protection that I had given you the links for? I really think that might be a key to helping you. I thought of you when I saw the earthing sleeping bag because I think I remember you saying that you can't sleep indoors due to all your sensitivities. Also, the Q link because you can wear it everywhere. The earthing pads are also fairly affordable and can be moved around. I use them in my bed and under my feet when I am using the computer. Don't give up! There are answers... I know sometimes it appears to be monumental- I know I felt that way in the end with my hips but my answer finally came. I wish you the best, Lisa

As for the q-link, here is the website:

http://www.qlinkproducts.com/Scripts/default.asp?idAff=18183

You will find information about how it works, testimonials from some pretty impressive people, and the products. I have been wearing a q-link for about 12 years now. I have noticed there are a lot more products available now since I purchased my q-link. I wear the silver retro pendant which back then was the only silver one they offered.

Hope this info helps you. I wish you the best in your quest, Lisa
