Cure Multiple Ailments

I think all of these remedies have thier place and are great at curing up some of our symptoms, But let's all get on changing our habits of what we eat. Food does matter.

A guy on a TV show the other night said ( Cheap food is really not cheap, because it comes back to make you very sick ) Think about all the money you can save,if you cure your body with food. So if it's not organic and fresh,raw or frozen. DO NOT put it into your body. Also what what you drink. There is alot of information out here now and we all need to study and live by it at least 90% of the time. Even if you fall of the ban wagon 10% of the time, I'll bet it is still better than most of us are doing now. Detoxing is also great to and I am seriously considering doing the mini beet protacal.

Here is the schedule I have been using. I drink the h202 and the ACV at the same time around 7am. I don't eat breakfast I drink some protein about an hour later. Around 11am I drink the h202 and ACV again (not mixed together) just 1 right after the other. It will make your stomach a little queezy but it doesn't last long. I eat lunch around 12 or 12:30. I drink the last h202 around 5-6pm and eat an hour or so later. I am doing the ACV only twice per day with 3tablespoons in 8oz of water with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. The results I am having are as follows: some part of this makes your skin look really good, quite glowy and youthful. It is making my arthritis worse so I am hoping that is a good thing and it will hopefully subside as I keep doing the therapies. The h202 makes me rather hot feeling and when I workout I sweat more than I ever have before. I hope that is toxins coming to the surface. I feel like this is ridding my body of unwanted toxins that probably have been accumulating over the years. I am 52 and got arthritis of the spine (osteo) in about '03 and I also have it in my right knee and right shoulder. So, in all my research on this sight I decided to try natural remedies to see if I could cure myself of my various ailments. Not a fan of Doctors or the pharmaceutical industry here. I have never tried an arthritis medicine that worked for me, they just upset my stomach really bad and cost a fortune.

Oh, one more thing, I have always had severe allergies in the spring. The pollen here in Memphis April and May is a killer. This year I had absolutely no allergy problems during that time. Usually I stay loaded up on allergy meds till it gets really hot. I am getting ready to add drinking borax in water throughout the day. Trying to rid my body of the metallics which I hear can be a major contributor in arthritis. Anyway, that is my take on this stuff to date. If I can find a natural cure for something that ails ya', I'm all for it. Hope it helps someone out there.

THIS IS THE ONLY DRINK I USE ALL DAY AFTER MY MORNING COFFEE. It's been 2 months and still going strong. I can't say this will work for every one ,but I can state that it did work for me. All ingredients are organic and pure only available in health food stores. You might paid a little more, but it's worth every penny too me, not to be sick and in pain. Not only living life but enjoying life. Doing things with my granddaughter never thought I would.You all have been a God send too me. Thank you my new friends all over the world for giving me back my life.

This is one of those things that will bring an automatic resistance from most people (understandably!), but once again we see that nature holds the keys. If you can get past the squeamish factor, this really is intriguing:

Capsulated version of the story in case the link later disappears:

In the developed world, there has been a steady increase in allergies, inflammatory bowel diseases and autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Some wonder if we're too clean for our own good.

...[Dr. Boushey] talks about a theory called the "Hygiene Hypothesis" and wonders if there is something about getting down and dirty early in life that's beneficial to a developing immune system. For proof, Dr. Boushey said look no further than the human body, which is jam-packed with microbes. He explains how our bodies are kind of like Muni buses, crammed with the organisms, saying "there are more bacterial cells in us than there are 'us' cells in us." Dr. Boushey said co-existing with these microscopic creatures may help maintain a healthy immune system. With that in mind, a growing number of Americans are choosing to co-exist with creatures often found in the human gut and dirt.

Jasper Lawrence is one of them. He used to suffer from debilitating allergies and asthma which he says wrecked his life. On a visit home to England, his aunt commented on his appearance. Lawrence had gained weight thanks to the medications he needed to take. He felt fatigued and sick. Then Lawrence saw a documentary that changed his life. The documentary was on helminthic therapy. The therapy involves infecting humans with hookworms or helminths. Once the hookworm sets up shop in the human, the creature secretes a chemical that appears to dampen down the immune response and alleviate allergies and asthmas.

Lawrence tried to secure helminths through a doctor and on websites but to no luck. He finally decided to get infected the old-fashioned way. He would walk barefoot across the open fields of Western Africa, where, thanks to no modern sanitation, he would hopefully pick up some hookworm larvae. He was successful, explaining that you know when a hookworm gets into you. "When a person first gets infected," Lawrence explained, "You get an itch at the site where they first enter the skin. You may cough. And feel fatigued and experience a little diarrhea."

Once he was home, his allergies and asthma disappeared. He then got the idea to help others, by providing the hookworms over the internet.

...One beneficiary is 36-year-old Todd Troutman who works in the high tech field. Before he tried hookworms, Troutman suffered from severe allergies and asthma since early childhood. His allergy attacks were so severe, he moved to environments where there were few trees and grasses.

Troutman found Jasper's story on the web and contacted him through his company. To infect himself, Todd applied a band aid on his arm. On the gauze was hookworm larvae. They then entered his body through his skin. He said his allergies and asthma have finally gone away. But, he cautions, you can accidentally kill the hookworms, and then the problems flare up again. He once had oral surgery, and the anesthesia apparently killed the helminths.

As for the cold hard evidence that this therapy works? Researchers at the University of Nottingham conducted a study in 2006. The study involved 30 participants who suffered from severe chronic allergies.

Half of the volunteers were infected with 10 hookworms. Tests showed their t-cells began to produce much lower levels of the chemicals associated with an inflammatory response. The volunteers also raved about the allergy symptoms disappearing.

...Dr. Boushey believes these helminths may be secreting a chemical that dampens down the immune system response, so the immune system chills out. If that's true, helminthic therapy may have applications for other immune system disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and even inflammatory bowel diseases. However, until he sees more rigorous studies, Dr. Boushey reminds us that hookworms are parasites, and they can cause problems, like anemia. The other concern: that the therapy is experimental and not regulated by the FDA.

That doesn't bother Todd. He has no regrets about the treatment.

I found Jasper's site:

FAQ: http://autoimmunetherapies.com/helminthic_therapy_FAQ.html

Here is another article on an earlier researcher of this same therapy (link is to the New York Times site but was very long, so I TinyURL'd it):

http://tinyurl.com/pgdlyc

"There's a lot of evidence that allergy is just the immune system going a little over the top," he said. "The worms are just turning down the volume."

Based on his results, Dr. Maizels said Pritchard's work looked promising. "I think it's quite likely the hookworms will have a similar effect on the human immune system," he said.

Some scientists say Dr. Pritchard is walking a fine ethical line by infecting patients with a parasite known to risk hosts' health. Peter Hotez, a microbiologist at George Washington University who is developing a hookworm vaccine, said the parasite was among the primary causes of stunted growth and malnutrition in developing countries.

"If a kid is infected with 25 hookworms, he's being robbed of his daily iron requirement, and because the worms suppress the immune system, they can increase the host's susceptibility to diseases like AIDS and malaria," Dr. Hotez said. "So in its current form, I think this therapy is too risky."

Still, he supports Dr. Pritchard's work from the perspective of proof of concept, saying, "The real question is could you isolate the molecules the worms are using to suppress the immune system and use them for therapeutic purposes?"

Because of the potential side effects, Dr. Pritchard does not envision thousands of patients lined up at clinics to receive parasites along with flu shots.

"The worst-case scenario would be to cause damage," he said. "I'm nervous about deliberate infection, but I feel that my hypothesis should be tested rigorously."

His long-term goal, he added, is to figure out exactly how the worms turn down the immune-system radar, so he can borrow the tactics to develop alternatives to immune-suppressant and allergy-fighting drugs. "We're looking at the molecular mechanisms the worms are using, and we're hoping to find molecules that veer the immune response away from allergy," he said.

A new class of drugs that mimics worms' effects on the immune system could also potentially treat Crohn's disease, arthritis and other autoimmune conditions.

Though he eventually hopes to eliminate hookworms entirely from his allergy treatment, Dr. Pritchard has few qualms about venturing where no parasite researcher has gone before.

"I gave myself 50 worms, and I felt it," he recounted. "I had stomach pains and diarrhea. But with 10 worms, we've ascertained a dose that does not cause symptoms. The patients are happy. They've kept their worms, and I get an e-mail a day from people all over the world who want to be infected.

I take Lantus insulin, gabapentin, lisinopril, zoeloft, percocet, Lovastatin, Terbinafine, and methocarbamol.

My question is what are the risk with ACV all these Meds? And what if any are the benefits to bones?

I'm not sure if it was the fluoride, propylene glycol (antifreeze) or the sodium lauryl sulfate. All those ingredients has serious side effects. I tell everyone - read the labels!

I brush with baking soda now.

What I would like to point out is that everybody cannot expect to have the same results. That's the beauty of this site and the variety of experiences and remedies available. My other point is that attitude is everything. I never try things with the mindset that it "probably won't work"--why should it not? Sometimes, it's just a case of not having run across the right thing for you. However, people are often loth to admit the psychological aspects of illnesses and many people's specific illnesses are a huge clue about their lives, attitudes and personalities. I think the number one factor in getting well is the willingness to let go of whatever is wrong with you. Many people are dependent on their illnesses without realizing it and a frightening number of people are unwilling to do anything to help themselves. Maybe you will find these comments unappropriate for this website but I think they're valid and my hat is off to the people who organized this website and the people who write in, who have had the courage to try things and thereby help themselves and others. Finally, it is true that there is a period of adjustment before you really see a big change with any natural therapy. Never give up if results aren't immediate--unless, of course, something really drastic happens. I had a few really discouraging days but now I feel better than I have in as long as I can remember (I'm 65 years old.)

Thanks for your Earth Clinic site and so many simple health solutions.

I'm currently taking black strap molasses for my lower back pain(I've had back pain since last 5 yrs. now). I take 2 tbsp in 2-3 ounce of water everyday, I read you could take it anyway as far as you're consuming 2 Tbsp/day. It's been couple of months taking BSM and I see the results very clearly, my back pain has reduced a lot and I feel much more energetic too!

I'm also taking ACV(Apple Cider Vinegar) for my severe pollen allergies. I tried taking the amount given on earth's clinic website, but seems like my body is too acidic (My acid reflux problem increased to the extent that I couldn't take it anymore). Then I read Ted's comments and realized that adding some baking soda to it will help. So this is what I've started taking now and it seems to work fine for me so far.

2 Tbsp ACV in 32 ounce water with 1/2 a tsp baking soda. I make this mixture twice and keep drinking it all day long. It's only been a week with this new mixture and it seems to help me fight my allergies well already!

I also tried oil pulling today with 1 tbsp of sesame oil and 2 drops of wild oregano oil. I did it for about 12 mins.(which is the max. I could do on my first day) so I coudln't achieve the foamy/white color. But I sure will keep trying!

I would like to thank everyone for the continous support and look forward to reading more remedies/cures for a healthy living.

I don't usually get sick but my health has been rapidly deteriorating for about 5 weeks. It took me awhile and some research to link the strange acne, skin rash near my eye, and intense sinus headache without much mucus and sensitivity to beer to going to a friend's house for his birthday last month. His pit bull has an odd skin condition unidentified by vets with redness and some hair loss which they say is not mange (not that I have confidence that they would know). I know this because I remember he asked me about it and I gave him an oil mixture of emu oil, VCO, and immune boosting and skin healing essential oils which he says has improved the condition. Anyway I came to conclusion that I had contracted whatever disease the dog has by petting the dog and then probably rubbing my eye. I imagine it involves mites or other small insect, fungus and/or yeast. I have very sensitive acne prone skin, but my acne has been generally under control due to diet, OCM, etc. until just the past few weeks where I broke out with increased rosacea-like redness and odd cysts that did not want to heal. I also had a nonstop sinus headache which drinking more water did not help without much drainage and a cough which did not produce much phlegm. After a couple days of research (which is how I came across the borax treatment for mites and fungus) I self-diagnosed myself as having a combination of candida, fungus infection of lungs and sinuses, and mites infecting the skin. I think I may have already had the candida (probably from working in bars around so much secondhand toxic smoke) and it depressed my immune system.

The very first day I started taking the borax I began to pee green which I was very pleased about since I knew it was from die off. I peed green on and off for a couple of days, and my pee still has a slight tinge to it at times, but I believe most of the candida, bacteria etc. is dead by now. (BTW, I had already been drinking copious amounts of green tea for a couple of days without this effect so I know it was due to the borax) I also treated my face with the borax/H2O2 in water and the acne and rash were almost gone after two days, and the spots are now healing. A rather disturbing effect of the borax taken internally is that you could feel it working. I now know exactly where all my sinus cavities and canals are because I could feel them burning one after another (I did not know I had a cavity in the top of my head and back of my head linked by canals behind the ears and over the top of the head and behind the eyes to the sinus cavities in front. I wonder what these are called?). Interestingly my bad wrist and toes would burn also, and a small area of my lower left abdomen (inflamed intestine maybe?). The most disturbing sensation was to feel critters die all over my body in the middle of the night. Needless to say I did not sleep well, the sensation could drive a person raving mad. Also, yesterday morning after oil pulling my right nostril began to drain lots of thin watery and waxy clear yellow-orange fluid. I have no idea where that was from but I assume it was a good thing to get rid of it.

Three days into the borax treatment my week long headache went away. The strange acne is now healed (5 days - internal and external treatment). I still cough and have some chest congestion but now at least I am coughing productively. I am hoping the chest congestion will clear up soon. My bad wrist and toes do not hurt as much nor pop as much as they used to. Possibly I had beginning stages of RA (I am 29) and the borax killed of the mycoplasma? I don't know but I am happy about it, I didn't expect the treatment to help.
