I'm back to napping and have been quite wobbly a couple of times, between naps, during work on the femur head. I suspect that's because, rather than going back to bed after I empty my bladder, drink water, feed it more herbs or otherwise deal with whatever wakes me up, I've been staying up when I should probably be going back to bed and finishing off my sleep, I'll be testing that when the serious work begins on the left side. As in, I'll be going back to bed/sleep after dealing with the immediate issue at hand, instead of staying up - to give it time to button things up for proper "waking hours" activity. Which is what it taught me to do when dealing with other things, like "the bug" and symptoms of an approaching cold or other feverish issue.
It's always been as simple as that. Regardless of which mode of natural treatment I've used. If I'm awakened and wobbly on my feet, I go back to bed and awaken all fresh and ready to go, instead of staying up in those wobbly states. When I do that, she finishes up whatever she's doing, buttons things up and THEN wakes me again when she's ready for me to start my day. BUT, she is quite capable of making whatever adjustments need to be made when I don't go back to bed or otherwise interfere with her process. It just takes longer if I don't go back to bed and let her do her things, without any interference from my monkey mind.

Dr. Christopher's Ointment
When I started, it felt like a rope under the outer layer of the skin. THEN, just a few days later, it was like a wire. NOW it's like little beads, which makes sense because if it's dissolving the scar tissue, it would still need to span the gap so I think it's doing just that in little tiny sections, creating the "bead" effect and the spaces between the beads are getting wider as the beads get smaller. It's really fascinating! Can't wait to hear about what sort of geometry is created with the resolution of the kid's big motorcycle tailpipe burn scar. Should be equally fascinating!

The hip made sleep difficult so have been napping for a few months, rather than sleeping BUT, I think the repairs/restoration/replacement of my right hip is complete! Been sleeping for longer periods the past couple of days and there is zero wobbliness in there since yesterday morning - feels like a brand new hip!
Seems to be beginning work on left hip, at this point so...here we go again but it's all very interesting.
Passed a kidney stone yesterday, which was a weird surprise. Never had a kidney stone - or any kidney issues - before. I had to look up a diagram of the location of the kidneys as I didn't know what was going on. Had about an hour's worth of intermittent, sharp discomfort then, "plink" - very interesting. I wasn't aware the kidneys rode so high - I always thought they were lower in the body for some reason, LOL!
Work in the eye area has resumed, as well. Particularly the left eye. I have a vague memory of injury to that area from years ago but can't put my finger on it...
Played with some tinctures while I was off the ointment. Particularly comfrey because my appetite didn't return right away...failed to mention my appetite was somewhere down around didn't-have-one while I was using the ointment.
Banana Peel
★★★★★
I taped a centimeter square piece of banana peel to my foot with a piece of duct tape and went to work for about 12 hours, and that's all it took! The wart completely came out that night when I went to change it!
Apple Cider Vinegar
★★★★★
I had a planter's wart on my right foot and one cropping up (pun intended) on my left foot that people told me to use the foot soak for, but I also heard you could drink it in the morning. I chose the ingested option for more additional benefits.
They call for a spoonful or two (buy the one with “the mother” in it) that can be diluted with water if you find the taste too harsh to deal with. I just swig mine straight and get the “WHY???” face, for the brave at stomach. In about a month all of the planter's warts had disappeared off of my feet!!!
Vitamin D3
★★★★★
I started taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily. Within a month, the plantars warts were gone.
★★★★★
Took 10,000 iu of Vitamin D3 and nit iced they were all gone within 1 month. Plantars Warts 100% gone, never came back. Prior I had them for 9 years and tried every thing even taping Apple Cider Vinegar on cotton balls for months, did every wart killer, nothing worked until vitamin d3. I continue to take 10000 IU of d3 daily, strong believer in it for immunity.
Apple Cider Vinegar

Two things, aside from putting it on everything and the missing plantar warts: 1) I hopped out of bed this morning with zero creaks and no need to limber up (F/65) and 2) it appears to be "raising" every mole and dry patch I've put it on. As if it is drawing the whatever it is underneath thing to the surface. I fully expect them to start falling off with the second jar, even though that's not what it's intended for.
Also, I've been putting it on my feet and toes and it appears to be fixing - or, at least, changing - the hammer toes that developed and have been developing over the years due to my feet just trying to keep the weight off the plantar warts.
Something else, "brown spots" are also sort of coming to the surface where I've simply scraped a couple off, like a dry patch of skin, with a fingernail.
I've been using it over the liver AND on across the pancreas area, as well. Which is when I started hopping out of bed in the morning.
Apparently, and I didn't note where I read/heard it, but it was suspected by someone and referred to by Dr. Christopher that most people have pancreatic issues. It was probably in one of the articles or seminars where he's talking about clearing out the digestive tract or talking about the lower bowel formula. But could have been in one of the liver or kidney articles. It was just a passing comment he made that didn't really sink in until I put the ointment over the liver area and figured, why not just continue it across and cover the pancreas? So I did and have been.
I know the complete tissue and bone wasn't formulated for such things but I figured the liver and pancreas are made of tissue, right? So why not give them a little extra bit of the love! ROFL!
I don't pay much attention to my appearance except to assure I won't frighten anyone if I go out but I think I might look younger (yes, of COURSE I've been putting it on my face, due to a brown spot and a "something" bump and not wanting just greasy spots on my face, lol). At any rte, I don't look 65. Did I before? I don't actually know because, as I said, I don't pay much attention to such things. I'll ask the kid, next time I see her. I DO recall being shocked by the age on my face after I had the you-know-what bug but that was 3 years ago and after I'd slept for 3 days.

I'm sure it's not actually exaggerated but I tend to check it as a "sign of aging", pretty regularly, and always wonder about it when I do, thinking I'll give it some thought and see if I can get some improvement but, of course, I promptly forget about it but, apparently, I accidentally already got the improvement so, SURPRISE! Not sure what that's about or where I put the ointment to bring it about since I basically have it all over but I haven't put much on my shoulders and none on my back...interesting...
I also have a rib that seems to be moving. Which is a bit uncomfortable. And weird.
I vaguely recall thinking I may have twisted or cracked that particular rib but that was months ago and I forgot all about it. It actually just felt like it was "out of place" but I have a high pain threshold so I'm not a very good judge of how "injured" I might be when I get myself banged up...unless I can't walk, like when I broke my foot, but it IS the same rib on the left side, right straight across from the liver and up a bit where I've been extending the application of the ointment on across to cover the pancreas area. At any rate, I don't think it's where it was an hour ago.
I wonder if it somehow facilitates/assists the fascia - as in it's ability to put things back where they belong, when it comes to broken bones...just one more interesting thing I guess. But it is a little sore so, you know what THAT means! More OINTMENT!
I may run out before I get my second jar!
Dr. Christopher's Ointment
I have whole new things going on in my shoulder. A totally different snapping, crackling and popping in a deeper area - something going on with a small tender spot on the bone itself, just beneath the skin in the front (which was almost certainly cracked, if not broken, at the time of injury) and something entirely new happening deep inside the actual joint. Plus, it's still at a not-quite-full range of motion.
I'm just saying. Sometimes "profound improvement" can be mistaken for "done", "finished" or "fully healed".
The extent of the injuries are unknown as it was never tended to, medically. All I was able to do was arrange it as close to normal as possible and immobilize it by binding my upper arm to my body whenever I could, for as long as I could. I was still actually using it. It hurt like blazes (and that from one with a particularly high pain threshold) and I was mad as hell for a month but there was no choice.
Dr. Christopher's Ointment
I took a break due to something going on with my eyes - or, I should say, my left eye - and spent some time using, mostly, eyebright, the nerve formula and elderberry (for a little extra potassium).
What I should have done was simply added the eyebright and nerve formula because activity with just those things was very slow. SOOO...
I started the ointment again, yesterday, and holy moly! Not only is the vision in my left eye back to normal upon waking, but activity in my left hip has resumed and I woke up with what seems like a whole different hip! And I don't think it's done as there seems to be new activity deep in the joint and new activity in that thigh, right between points above the knee and below the hip which seems like muscular activity.
There is SO much going on, as I look back and reassess what's taken place so far, that my thought processes are going about a thousand miles per hour. Far faster than I can type without spitting out chapters rather than pages...
Things seem to be happening in stages and, at this stage, seem pretty much confined to the left side of the body.
I've also been obeying sleep signals I'd previously been pushing through, sleeping on my right side. Not only for the purpose of taking pressure off my hip, so it can more easily do whatever it is it's doing, but also to simply get my mind out of the way of the work. Of which the body seems to be taking full advantage.
I've also been looking at fetal development and the components of amniotic fluid and human breast milk at the various stages of development for information regarding in what order a fetus is built and the components with which it's provided at each stage of development, both before and after birth - since it would appear I'm being REbuilt from the ground up - which has been very telling...indeed...
Dr. Christopher's Ointment
But I DID look for ways to stop a shooting pain in my ankle when walking down stairs. So much is happening that I didn't even notice that I don't have that anymore! Yeah!
Dr. Christopher's Ointment
Incomplete, overall, but still - 9 months! How cool is THAT?!?! I'm going to have a "second birthday" - like having "second breakfast", ROFL!

More interesting stuff happening...
I am, now, able to stand from sitting without using my hands on the arm of the chair AND walking forward is a breeze BUT...
Apparently, there's still some important work going on. I can't actually feel any symptoms from it but, while I able to walk forward, very well, pivoting and changing direction is still an issue. Very unsteady.
Also, my feet are sort of "curled" up and feel "clubbed" which creates some unsteadiness BUT it would appear this is how the body is KEEPING me steady while working on whatever the pivoting issue is about as my feet are acting like the peg ends of canes where I can put them down in any direction, without any regard for the shape and structure of feet, to catch myself when I try to pivot - which is actually quite handy and has probably kept me from simply falling over several times.
It would appear all of this lower-body work was mapped out in advance and the very reason the body chose to eliminate the plantar warts on the bottom of my feet, FIRST, as if the body knew that immobilization would cause conflicts, unless I was actually in bed, asleep. Bottom line, I'm not one to sit still. Even during those times when "ordinary medicine" would have said I couldn't walk, as my body's response to such things has always been, "Wanna bet? Here, hold my beer". ROFL!!
I will also say that, for about a week, I've had discomfort in a very specific area of the left side of my head. Not a headache, exactly, but something someone with a lower pain threshold might consider "pain". Initially, I chased it around the area with some DMSO but then decided it would probably be better to just let it do its thing, given the repair history, overall.
The area of my head is a spot that I believe came from a specific pair of Chinese-made reading glasses leaching the metal of which they were made into my scalp and, perhaps, right through the bone of my skull. They were my favorite reading glasses (dammit), at the time, and I wasn't yet retired so I mainly wore them atop my head, nearly all day long, for a couple of years before I finally developped a sore on the bridge of my nose from them and stopped wearing them due to that and the development of a rash where the left earpiece rubbed on my scalp. A rash I've had for about 20 years.
That said, at this point, I would say that the pivoting issue may very well be connected to that as there appears to be no other sensations connected to it - other than in my feet.
I have a small jar of bone char (activated charcoal made of bone, rather than of hard wood) so I think I'll cut off my hair and slap some patches of it on there for a bit - see if I can draw something out of that area. Bone char is, apparently, better at drawing out heavy metals than hard wood charcoal so, I guess I'll find out...but, first, I'm going to allow the body to keep doing whatever it seems to be doing to remedy that situation - assuming that's what it's doing.
Sweet Flag Herb
★★★★★
I suffered with plantar wart in my right plantar for about 1 year, I was trying ACV, but it didn't work out.Then I started to cut the wart area often and I applied hot jaggary syrup, this method somewhat worked for me, however my plantar wart was not completely cured. It reduced only pain. I tried another method, that is the sweet flag ( in tamil, its called vasambu ), I burnt the sweet flag and I applied its charcoal over the wart area for about 2 weeks, what a surprise my plantar wart completely disappeared now.

Cinnamon Oil

After going barefoot in the garden one summer, I developed a terrible case of mosaic warts on the soles of both my feet. Foolishly, I tried cutting them out with manicuring scissors, only to have them spread. I tried banana peel, wart pads, and anything else I could think of or find on Earth Clinic, to no avail. The warts were so painful I could barely walk! My soles were a mess, and it was spreading to my fingers! Out of desperation, I began applying Cinnamon Oil, no bandage, and clean socks. The healing was miraculous! It took a few weeks, but my soles totally healed. And now, if I spot a wart, I use cinnamon oil on it right away. I also wear shoes in the garden now.
Thank you, EC family! I have no health insurance, I rely on you all to help me stay healthy. Blessings!
Tea Tree Oil
★★★★★
Instead I used tea tree oil. Every morning and night I put a band-aid on her wart that had 1 drop of oil on the gauze area. I did the same thing at night and we covered the band-aid with a sock so it didn't come off while she was sleeping.
I had read that if you do this for about 3 weeks the wart will just pop out. Well, I wanted to go for 4 weeks, but after about 3 weeks my daughter said she needed a day off.
That evening I looked at her wart and very gently used my fingernail to see if the wart would come out. It popped right out with absolutely no pain. It left a cone-like hole that looked like it would hurt, but she said she couldn't feel anything.
Over time, the hole closed up. The wart never returned, she didn't miss one day of any of her activities, and there was never any discomfort.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Since reading Joe's post about hydrogen peroxide and peroxideman.com, I've been playing with HP and, over the last 4 days, have applied a cotton pad soaked with HP on plantar warts on my left foot for just a minute or two, each day.
The pain of walking on them was gone the very first day and it had shrunk significantly by the 3rd day. Today it's flat and nearly gone but there's been another effect that I wasn't expecting which is that my leg feels like it's "breathing". As if it had been in a cast, if your readers know what I mean by that. It's as if I'd been wearing tight knee socks and took them off! It's really pretty amazing.
I started on my right foot today by soaking some of the cotton pads in my borax solution and applying that to the warts because it softens the callouses to such an extent that one can simply peel them right off. I did this to make the HP's trip through the wart a little easier.
I also took two aspirins and wetted some aspirin powder and applied that to the warts and left it sit for a bit before I applied the HP. I did this because I suspect that warts - being viral - just batten down the hatches when they're attacked by remedies which would explain why they keep coming back and aspirin, apparently, is reported to dissolve the "shell" of viruses so I'm hoping the HP along with the vitamin C I take will finish them off, once and for all! So, we'll see what happens...
Just so you know, these are applications of HP that I never would have thought of had I not read Joe's post and the article on the website so, again, THANK YOU, JOE AND EC!! I never would have believed it if the effects hadn't been so profound!
