16 days agoDear Michelle,
Do you have reactions to food as well?
Is it possible that you have Alpha Gal Syndrome? Alpha Gal reactions are very commonly experienced in the middle of the night.
The one thing that comes to mind is nettle tea. Not a nettle supplement. Nettle is a common weed. Making tea and drinking it should be no worse that eating spinach or something. But, with your condition, I would try a small amount and work up to a larger amount if you can. I buy bulk bags of organic nettle leaf from amazon.
Nettle tea is highly nutritive and anti-allergy. It is also blood purifying. It has seemed to greatly improve symptoms of autoimmune diseases (allergies, asthma, eczema) in my family when used long term. Homemade milk kefir (or store bought with no sugar added) is also healing for many conditions.
I regularly make and drink 2 -4 cups of strong nettle tea daily. It is not delicious, but mixed with another tea of choice (mint, red raspberry leaf) I find it quite tolerable.

Walter Last Borax Protocol Question
16 days agoRe: MCAS: Sensitive to Many Supplements
16 days agoToo many question I have. What reactions do you have? Do you have reaction right after taking supplements or medications or only at night? But even after reading your post I doubt you have MCAS. Why? The presentation. People with MCAS practically never feel well and there is no rhyme or reason. You won't find a doctor who understands MCAS let alone knows how to treat it. There are tests for MCAS but nobody seems to know how to properly handle the collected blood samples, for it is practically impossible to maintain proper conditions of the samples. Been there done that. Taking "NeuroProtek" (a supplement containing luteolin, quercetin, and rutin) made no difference for me. MCAS often overlaps with Dysautonomia, POTS, EDS. What you describe is more like a sympathetic NS activation. There are reasons of course. But first, I want to know what do you mean by you having reaction on everything. Without knowing about the reactions it is difficult to even speculate on what is it that you have. I have Dysautonomia, POTS and a night time cNS activation is part of my life. I also react on pretty much everything or have a paradoxical effect ( the opposite of what is expected). So write more. Write what exactly you take and the reactions. Meantime watch this video to understand how complex MCAS is and its devastating effects. She did not know she had MCAC.

Adhesive Arachnoditis Remedies Needed
16 days agoHi WatchmanForTruth,
I would try melatonin lotion (ML) applied topically to the entire spine area twice a day, if his condition was caused by trauma.
Why ML?
ML is anti inflammatory, antioxidative stress, has pain relieving effects, has antifibrotic effects for the scar tissue and helps multiple spinal issues with long term use.
I wrote about how several friends used ML to help with multiple pain issues and spinal issues as well as how they made ML at home very easily here :

Melatonin also has anticancer effects which can work synergistically with standard cancer treatments.

Adhesive Arachnoditis Remedies Needed
16 days agoI met a friend on Substack.com who has...what do you recommend for his healing and pain?
Gary the biker has adhesive arachnoditis plus a form of cancer.
Adhesive arachnoiditis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the arachnoid membrane surrounding the spinal cord, often resulting from infections, spinal surgery, or trauma. It can cause severe pain and neurological symptoms due to the formation of scar tissue that adheres nerve roots together, leading to impaired nerve function.

MCAS: Sensitive to Many Supplements
16 days agoI seem to have MCAS. No one has been able to help me. Each time a practitioner recommends a supplement or medication, I have a reaction (even to very small amounts). My reactions all take place in the middle of the night (between 11:00 and 2:00) and result in high BP, elevated and irregular HR, and anxiety; if the reaction is bad enough I will start to shake. I usually don't sleep much after these reactions and it can take a week for me to feel better.
Other than this strange reactions, I seem to be in good health. All my labs come back normal. As long as I'm sleeping, I feel good.
I know my urine is very acidic and I am low in zinc and copper. I've tried zinc and I get a reaction. I'm not sure how to proceed.
Selenium for Tinnitus
16 days agoAt 67, I felt my tinnitus of 3-4 years was from a lack of some vitamin(s) because it was always a steady ringing. I also felt that a lack of a vitamin(s) will impact more than one problem that one has. In light of this theory, I had just gone through a year that included a total of two cataract surgeries for both eyes. It appeared my tinnitus was not something from eustachian tubes or nerves in my neck from sleeping a certain way that adjusted could affect my tinnitus for the better. I continued my online research and discovered some symptoms I had: weak fingernails, vision that was flat and not bright and age spots all of a sudden in various places could be from a combo of a lack of certain B vitamins plus selenium. I was already taking the B vits but not the selenium. I got some selenium and took it. It seemed to lessen the severity of the ringing of tinnitus and overall made my eyes see things more brighter or clearly that went beyond my new cataract implants. I then researched it some more and found a connection to tinnitus. I also found that the correction ie. selenium to the tinnitus is gradual and not immediate. Just like the problem comes gradually and not all at once. I am hopeful that the addition of selenium will correct several issues I have acquired: tinnitus, my vision, weak nails and the age spots overtime. I will update as things go forward.

16 days agoNutmeg has been a lifesaver for days when the PTSD is acting up. Just read a hilarious article of someone claiming sprinkling a pinch "too much" nutmeg on some asparagus sent them to the hospital. Must have had the good nutmeg because I use a tablespoon at a time some days. Orange juice and/or cayenne seems to be the antidote. "Reefers" lolololol
“Penny matchbox full of nutmeg had the kick of three or four reefers.”

Essiac tea - Tiredness in Dog

Essiac tea - Tiredness in Dog
I had started giving my dog essiac tea for her cancer. I have read that it also is a detoxifier and can kill parasites. What I'm curious about is my dog seems more lethargic since I started giving her the tea and I was wondering if that's because of the detoxification. Has anyone had any experience with this or has anyone else been more lethargic? I have also read that it will give you more energy. It has only been a week and a couple of days that she has been on it. Any insight anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Re: OA and RA Question for Art
17 days agoHi Pam,
I didn't use Walter Last's (WL) mix, I used Ted's mix and that is what worked for me and what I am familiar with. So I can't comment on the WL mix and the best ways to implement it.
Ted's mix is distributed throughout the day via sipping the one quart/one liter bottle all day long. That makes Ted's mix essentially a time release formulation which should go a long way toward reducing or eliminating any potential gastrointestinal issues which you say you have already experienced using Walter Last's mix after just two days of use.
I have tried Ted's women's dose of 1/8th teaspoon in a quart/one liter of water each weekday and the taste was negligible if at all. On the other hand, the men's dose of 1/4 teaspoon in a quart/one liter bottle of water has a taste that is quite noticeable. When the taste bothers me, I add a little juice or Gatorade to counter the taste.
I can't say how borax will affect you, I can only say what it did for me. Prior to borax I had severe pain in my hips, back, shoulders, neck, ankles, one knee, elbows, wrists and feet which kept me from going for my daily walks and made my life miserable from the constant pain. After three months of borax, all of that pain was gone and has remained gone for 17 years. To the best of my knowledge, borax stopped disease progression and my affected joints feel fine.
I didn't have problems with my finger joints, so I can't comment on that issue as regards calcium deposits, but a friend wrote me to let me know that the melatonin lotion(ML) had reduced significant amounts of swelling and pain in her fingers and she told me that she wished she had taken before and after pictures so she could show me the difference. In any case she was quite happy with her results on her fingers from using melatonin lotion in conjunction with borax. I wrote about how melatonin lotion helped three of my friends with various pains and how they easily made it at home themselves here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
Another friend who also had swollen fingers and could not make a fist, found that applying ML to her swollen ankles twice daily not only returned her ankles to a near normal appearance, but it also eliminated her swollen fingers and allowed her to be able to make a fist with her hands again. Applying it to her ankles with her hands apparently got enough on her hands to be effective at eliminating the swollen fingers, allowing her to make fists again without pain. Her doctor did not tell her what the cause of her swollen ankles was, but he was thinking in terms of heart, liver or kidneys and was testing those individually last I talked with her about it.
I have no comment on the use of fluoride.
