Re: Chlorine Dioxide Solution
20 days agoI haven't had an experience with CDS IV, but wondered if you had considered prolozone therapy, which is a non-surgical treatment for knee pain that involves injecting a mixture of ozone, oxygen, vitamins, minerals, and homeopathic agents into the affected joint to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. Some chiropractors have this treatment, people who practice sports medicine, functional medical doctors, etc.
Re: Methylene Blue
20 days agoI too am very interested to hear if methylene blue could be used to treat seizures in my cat who has chronic toxoplasma gondii infection that has progressed to daily seizures stage. He has had all the recommended antibiotics (clindamycin) for three months and is now on phenobarbital twice per day to try and reduce the seizures.
Re: Chlorine Dioxide Solution
20 days agoHi again, GertJr,
I forgot to mention, that the "movement in the joint" doesn't sound normal and warrants another scan of the knee.
The Naproxen gel avoids stomach damage from NSAIDS.
My friends who have had TKR had very good results and said they wish they hadn't waited to have it done.

Re: Chlorine Dioxide Solution
20 days agoHi GertJr,
I have no opinion on the injection because I have never used chlorine dioxide.
What can add to the healing potential of borax lotion and melatonin lotion is mag oil which is available as a spray on Amazon. All three should be useful for a torn meniscus to heal if it hasn't. For more pain relief, you can test Naproxen lotion. Here is how to make it :
You can test naproxen lotion by filling a shot glass 3/4 full with body lotion. Take 4 naproxen soft gel capsules and poke a hole in the end of each capsule with a large needle. Squeeze the punctured soft gel's liquid into the lotion in the shot glass. Stir the lotion very, very well with something like a coffee stir stick until the naproxen is well blended into the lotion. Apply the lotion all the way around the knee and see if that offers enough pain relief. Cover the naproxen lotion with a jar lid or small saucer in between uses. Naproxen lotion is only for pain relief, not healing. The other three are for longer term healing with daily application.
On the outside chance that this is a nerve related issue, in addition to the knee applications, apply the melatonin lotion and mag oil to your lower spine, from the bottom of the tail bone up about 10 inches. Apply to the lower spine whenever applying to the knee. If that extra step adds more relief, there may be a nerve component to the knee pain and that will take time to heal with daily applications to both the lower spine and knee.
If application to the lower spine adds relief to the knee pain, icing that lower spine area can help speed the healing process.
As always, get your doctor's approval and supervision for all of the above in order to be as safe as possible and to be sure it will be compatible with any meds you are taking.
Let us know if this is helpful for you.

Re: Chlorine Dioxide Solution
21 days agoI recently read of a man in Asia (sorry, lost the link) who injected the cds. He made it with sterile saline (like you buy for contacts) instead of distilled water. He didn't say how much he injected, but claimed that his knee was back to 100% after the third injection. I'd try this for sure if I had an idea of the dose. If I don't get pain relief soon, I may just give it a go regardless (take the time to make the cds first, so a few days to really think about it). Start with 1cc and see what happens. I drink it anyway with no adverse effects and figure it would absorb into the tissues, do it's thing, and then be metabolized. I'd sure like Art and others opinions on this.
Knee Question - Already Doing Multiple Remedies
21 days agoThis time last year, I tore my meniscus. I did all the things to fix it with no change, so had the surgery where they cut off the torn piece. It never got better, even after all the pt, etc. So, now the dr says I have arthritis. (This is apparently to be expected after that surgery, but in years, not so fast.) He says total knee replacement (TKR) is the only option, but did not do a 2nd scan to see for sure that it's only arthritis and not something else. No options like meds or therapy, jumped straight to TKR. I've been drinking the borax for years now as part of the biofilm plan, have added the borax and melatonin gels (steady for the past 2 months, sporadic before that) and, as of yesterday, added dmso to the gels. (I do the borax in the morning and at night, the melatonin mid-day at work). I've also started dmso orally. Have also been doing the golden raisins in gin for several months. Nada, no relief from the pain. I'll be fine, no pain, and then suddenly it hits. Many times, if I turn as I'm walking, something moves in the joint and will almost make me fall. I want another scan to rule out something other than arthritis, don't really want meds (ibuprofen is the norm). Oh, I also have the Spooky2 machines set for remote everything from stem cell to dna regeneration to cartilage and pain. Any suggestions for me? Anyone had TKR who can tell me what to expect? I'm not overweight, I eat properly (very little carbs/sugar), and just really don't need this right now. I have a huge yard and clearing leaves is hard enough when both knees work. Thanks.
Re: Aortic Aneurysm - Question for Art
21 days agoHi Jay,
AI seems to have improved over the past two years, but it is not bullet proof by any stretch of the imagination.
Currently, AI generated research still requires that you research (fact check) everything that it comes up with because they are not always accurate, so I still have to do my own research. What I do find AI useful for is organizing my research into a much more understandable and organized format that is well beyond my capabilities.
AI is a highly competitive and rapidly growing industry with so many players now, it is almost ridiculous. The highly competitive atmosphere, in my opinion, is making programmers do things that may not be the best for research in general and at this point the individual AI platforms seem to only be as good as their programmer makes it.
There is a tremendous amount of variability from one AI to another. As an example of two big ones, in my opinion, Google AI and Chat GPT, Google seems to be over cautious in the information it gives and seems to lean away from stretching the known science to its limits, while Chat GPT seems more willing push the envelope a bit. Both methods have their drawbacks and the highly competitive AI market throws another wrench in the works.
Bottomline is that I am still doing my own research and using AI for its organizational skills, rather than research skills.

22 days agoMultiple Remedies Starting to Help H. Pylori
22 days agoH. pylori stack - starting to feel better
I am stacking several supplements after having severe stomach bloating particularly in the evening. I have been diagnosed with H. Pylori in the past and I belive it has come back. I have been adjusting for the past two weeks and I am now starting to feel some relief...by adding oregeno oil, green tea, cranberry and Pepto Bismol after meals. Last night was the first night without bloating in a long time. Here is what I'm doing:
Personal Gut Healing + H. pylori Support Notes
(Updated protocol — HCl removed due to irritation)
Mastic Gum
• Directly antibacterial against H. pylori (damages its cell wall).
• Reduces gastritis and promotes mucosal healing.
• May lower stomach pain, reflux, and nausea.
• Use: Take on an empty stomach twice daily (morning and bedtime). Wait 20–30 min before food.
Pepto-Bismol (Bismuth Subsalicylate)
• Kills and suppresses H. pylori directly.
• Prevents bacteria from attaching to stomach lining.
• Coats and protects gastric mucosa; reduces inflammation and discomfort.
• Use: After meals and optionally at bedtime (up to 4×/day). Take 10–15 min after eating.
DGL Licorice (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice)
• Protects and heals stomach lining; increases mucus production.
• Soothes gastritis and reflux; may mildly inhibit H. pylori.
• Use: 20 minutes before meals. Chewable tablets or powder form.
Marshmallow Root
• Coats and soothes irritated gastric tissue.
• Promotes mucosal repair and reduces burning/discomfort.
• Use: Between meals or before bed. Separate from medications/supplements by at least 1 hour.
Cranberry Extract
• Prevents H. pylori from adhering to stomach walls.
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; may reduce recurrence.
• Use: With meals (capsule or unsweetened juice).
Berberine
• Potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial; targets H. pylori, yeast, and harmful gut bacteria.
• Anti-inflammatory and supports healthy gut microbiome.
• Use: With meals, 2–3× daily (usually 500 mg). Cycle: 4–6 weeks on, 1–2 weeks off.
Oregano Oil (Enteric-Coated)
• Strong antimicrobial and antifungal; disrupts H. pylori biofilms.
• Synergistic with berberine and bismuth.
• Use: With meals (never on an empty stomach). Take once or twice daily for 2–4 weeks, then cycle
off.
Green Tea (EGCG)
• Antioxidant and mildly antibacterial; reduces H. pylori activity.
• Helps reduce oxidative stress in gastric mucosa.
• Use: 1–2 cups daily, preferably between meals.
Fiber (New Addition)
• Nourishes beneficial gut bacteria; binds and eliminates bacterial byproducts.
• Promotes regular bowel movements and detox support.
• Use: Add slowly, away from supplements by 1 hour.
Probiotics (New Addition)
• Rebuilds gut microbiome after antimicrobial phase.
• Reduces H. pylori activity and improves gut healing.
• Best strains: Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 or ATCC PTA 6475, Saccharomyces boulardii.
• Use: 30–60 min before meals or before bed.
Notes and Observations:
• Betaine HCl removed due to stomach upset.
• Focus: soothing mucosa, suppressing H. pylori, and supporting microbiome rebalance.
• Avoid taking Pepto-Bismol, mastic gum, and marshmallow root together — space by 30–60
minutes.

Re: Baking Soda Toothpaste Warning
22 days agoI did the same thing but I used baking soda for 2 or 3 years before I noticed loss of enamel. I thought I was being healthy by throwing away the Crest but now regret. Its prob okay for 6 months, maybe more as enamel is very tough - but I would not go over a year regardless. I hate to report this as I LOVED brushing my teeth back then and my teeth never felt cleaner after using baking soda.

22 days agoCilantro and Chlorella for Grover's Disease
22 days agoI have Grovers. Last winter it drove me nuts!!! Steroid creams from the dermatologist just helped keep it at a dull roar.
Cutting an entire bunch of cilantro, a scoop of chlorella and a dose of Kefir in a food processor knocked it down in a few weeks.
As temps cooled this fall, it came roaring back. I found some Cilantro capsules on Amazon as well as Chlorella tablets. Began with the prescribed 5 Chlorella tabs, an 2 of the Cilantro capsules. Rash was stable but still itched a lot.
Went to 2 Cilantro capsules morning and night along with the 5 tabs of Chlorella in the AM and virtually NO itch and the rash is subsiding! YAY!!!
Next step is to drop the Chlorella and see if that does it.

22 days agoPyometra Can Return After Successful Remedies - Beware!
22 days agoHi everyone
PYOMETRA CAN RELAPSE QUICKLY!
I took my 16-year-old Maltese to the vet after noticing white, creamy discharge from her vagina for about a week. The vet said she had pyometra, and gave her Amoxycillin. The antibiotics made her very tired and I googled for home remedy and found Dr. Jones' video: https://youtu.be/PtluEiGeezo?si=kEfXmoikBmV5232T
After one dose of Manuka Honey (I used MGO 550+), vitamin C and turmeric, her white discharge reduced by 70%. Next day, the Yun Nan Baiyao arrived, and after one dose of the Yun Nan Baiyao and Manuka Honey combi, her white discharged was gone completely. I continued the Manuka Honey, Vit C, turmeric and Yun Nan Baiyao combi for another 3 weeks, as the study on Yun Nan Baiyao was done over a 3-week period, with 90% healing rate. After that, I stopped everything, thinking that she was completely healed. 2 weeks later, I noticed she had very little white discharge from her vagina. I didn't give her anything until I saw some thick, brown pee the following week, as she kept drinking water, panted and paced around the room. That's when I knew this infection had RELAPSED! I immediately gave her Manuka Honey and Yun Nan Baiyao. All her symptoms were gone after the 2nd dose, and she's now back to normal. Given the high chance of relapse, I plan to give her Manuka Honey, Vit C, Turmeric and Yun Nan Baiyao on a regular basis, probably twice a week for maintenance.
p.s. Many thanks to this website, it's been helpful to learn from the systematically categorised reviews. I'm posting mine to share my experience, and to warn people that pyometra can relapse quickly!
Re: Asthma and Azithromycin
22 days agoHi Braulio,
Your question is around 2016/2018 so you prob ably have your answer now, to which your question was about how much to give your little 3 and a half year old son AZITHROMACIN. Now I am a medical researcher (not paid) and have done it for over 20 years so I am like a walking encyclopyaedia. Firstly when you were given Azithromycin, it SHOULD HAVE STATED ON THE BOX HOW MUCH TO GIVE YOUR SON PER DAY! BY THE PHARMACIST WHO GAVE IT TO YOU. Azithromycin is one of the MACROLIDE Family and most end in cin! If you ever get any more medicine for your little boy who must be about 12 by now? ALWAYS TAKE YOUR MEDICINE IN AND ASK A PHARMACIST!!! Children might be offered this is all types of doses not only for adults but children too, so try and ask someone really medical, you might even contact a hospital and just explain you have some medicine and it doesnt state how to give it in a dose? Secondly ask YOUR DOCTOR!! Having said that? half of them are idiots and might not even know. I go on two different websites with many people who go on their and give their review, it can be herbs, in halers for respiratory problems in fact anything, if it doesnt have any reviews it wont come up. But they are brilliant, because there can be 800 reviews or 10. here are the names. Even many things you might think of buying but havent.
GO ON TO GOOGLE: TYPE IN DRUGS.COM SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE DRUGS.COM REVIEWS THEN TYPE IN REVIEWS FOR AZITHROMYCIN ANTIBIOTICS, AND THEY SHOULD COME UP. CLICK ON TO DRUGS.COM VOILAAA!!! THERE MIGHT BE ONE PAGE OR TWENTY! YOU CAN READ FOR FREE, BUT IF THEY ASK YOU TO JOIN EITHER JOIN - FREE - BUT YOU CANNOT REPLY TO THE REVIEWS.
THE SECOND ONE IS WEB.COM AND DO EXACTLY AS ABOVE. NOT SET OUT ANYWHERE AS GOOD AS DRUGS.COM BUT STILL GOOD TO CHECK, I PRINT A LOT OF MINE OFF AND READ THEM WHEN I GET TIME, AND DRUGS.COM ARE BRILLIANT FOR THE WAY THEY PRINT THEIR REVIEWS. WEB.COM DO THE REVIEWS AFTER YOU READ THEM ALL DOWN THE LEFT HAND SIDE HORRIBLE! ANYWAY, I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND MANY OTHER LOVELY EARTH CLINIC USERS, I HAVENT FOUND A SINGLE WEBSITE THAT CAN BEAT EARTH CLINIC!!! Rosina x
P.S. BRAULIO, BEWARE OF CLARITHROMYCIN ANOTHER MACROLIDE, IT CAN BE A KILLER WITH HEART PROBLEMS!!!! AND DOXYCYCLINE HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR QUITE A FEW DEATHS, AND I CALL IT A SUICIDE DRUG! TWO LITTLE 12 YEAR OLD BOYS HUNG THEMSELF AND QUITE A FEW ADULTS BECAUSE IT HAD NO WARNINGS ON IT. THEY TOOK IT OFF THE MARKET, AND ITS BACK ON AGAIN LINKED WITH HELPING CANCER" I NEVER TOUCH IT!! LOL.
