I know the unbearable discomfort and pain caused by having Hemorrhoids for I have it for 2 years now. Every recommended remedies I have tried, some have given me temporary help others not at all. The suffering of pain, itch, and bleeding has kept me in despair but I have not given hope. For me seeing a doctor is not my cup of tea. Being a spiritual person, I know that Someone up there sees and listens. One day, after my meditation, I went on-line and read an article written by a deceased person who for years have been suffering from an acute hemorrhoids and was cured.

I followed this for the first time and I felt a very significant relief. This for me I will call a "Miracle Cure". I will continue applying this until my hemorrhoids is completely gone and I hope, someone who applies this and felt the same way as I have, will spread this remedy to all sufferers:

10 drops of SSKI mix with 1/2ml of Organic Flaxseed oil. Apply with a cotton swab before bedtime.

Yes, Lugol's has worked. I am in great health, but do suffer from mild varicose veins. I eat a lot of raw food, am mainly vegan, normal weight, not stressed and not constipated. I take around 10g Vitamin C per day plus alkalising salts, look 15 years younger than my true age and always considered myself in great health. However, recently I got a little pea size pile and was shocked! Earth Clinic is brilliant - we always refer to it for problems so I went down the list of suggestions! First, I tried the ACV but it stung so badly and didn't do anything, then I tried chilli powder in water over a few days; that nearly made me sick everytime I drank it. I tried Essential Oil of Frankincense that seemed to help a little and experimented with Tea Tree Oil but I intuited the Frankincense was more effective, so stuck with that. Ice cubes helped but only temporarily. What seemed to be most effective has been taking Horse chestnut extract 3 times a day, plus Vitamin B complex inc. B6 100g and turmeric twice a day - the little pile seems to have been reducing very slowly. I also tried witch hazel that felt nice but didn't do anything. At the same time, I tried Arnica extract that stung horribly and seemed to have no impact. It's Day 6 and I got fed up of waiting for this thing to go completely so I put some Lugol's and in a few hours it reduced already. That is the first dramatic effect I have had in almost a week. The other thing I am doing is exercising the muscles to encourage rebuilding the pelvic floor - that also seems to be helpful - plus walking around more as I work long hours at my desk.

Hemorrhoids will sometimes disappear literally ovenight, when SSKI Iodine (20 drops) mixed with Castor Oil or flaxseed oil (one ounce) is rubbed in them at bedtime. It was also found that SSKI alone will do the same job, although it really stings when applied to a hemorrhoid by itself it's better to dilute it.
