Magnesium for Arrhythmia
25 days agoRe: Cellulitis
25 days agoI did recent research for a neighbor with cellulitis. The recommends by people who did well out there are 1) heal the gut with probiotics, and 2) take raw garlic clove three times a day with meals, also do the same with vitamin C.
Once the skin is no longer broken, it needs to be tackled from the inside.
Best of luck!
Re: Cellulitis
25 days agoDeep puncture cat bite (bad kitty! ) immediately became cellulosis. Had sepsis, went to hospital. Got antibiotic for 15 days. Did help for first five days, then stayed the same, half-healed. Been considering & trying different things. Amla (gooseberry) sounds promising. Using blue light with colored cellophanes & sunlight. Sunlight itself seems to entirely calm the inflammation, at least as long as I am in the light, & is promising as a disinfectant / anti-septic. Alternating with Food Grade 3% H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) & Colloidal Silver compresses & sprays, also with DMSO to carry it deeper. Use Coconut Oil capsules, & externally. Poured five bottles of H2O2 into my small spa, along with some Borax. Going to increase the Borax incrementally. The two seem to work together in some synergistic manner. This also allows my entire body to absorb some of both, & get into my bloodstream. Food Grade H2O2 can be taken orally, one drop per tall glass of water, & very slowly increasing up to a few drops. This is a powerful healer, & you will feel a bit run down using it. About a drop must go into my system using it to brush my teeth, followed by rinse & glass of water. I am awaiting the release of Tesla military Med Beds, the real thing, by Christmas 2024. This will permanently heal this condition. There is hope! I am considering a raw whole milk fast along with nude sunbathing several hours a day, as described in a doctor's article at Dr. Price's Foundation. Also ready to try hot milk & bread poultice. PectaSol modified fruit pectin may prove useful at cleansing the internal body of toxins. Has saved my life a few times with allergic reactions. SerraPeptase may deserve some research. Fermented foods, even pickled garlic, are good for the bio-system. Yet to try fresh garlic, though ready to try anything. Even trying a bit of diffuse magnifying glass sunlight. Prayers!

25 days agoAbsolutely, make your own. A friend has been hospitalized 3 times for HLH and docs can't figure out more than that. Yesterday my husband was down for the count with a nasty bug that's been going around. Heavy doses of Vitamins C, B12, D, etc and a nebulizer with collodial silver. He's almost 100% today, where our friends have been flat on their backs, hacking, headaches, and feeling horrible for 2 days.

25 days agoRe: Excess Phlegm Affecting Breathing
25 days agoBe prepared when clearing the sinuses after the bug - I worked especialy hard to keep the leftover sinus issue from going down into the lungs until I got frustrated. Then I made some black pepper "tea", and steamed with that (towel over the head and the pan and inhaling the steam coming off the tea) and it worked for me but it also made a beeline for the lungs - like a dog chasing a rabbit - and for which I was completely caught off guard - so, regardless of how you break that up, be prepared because a whole different version of the bug could be hunkered down in that blockage, mutating.
Black Seed Oil for Hypothyroid
25 days agoi have suffered Hypothyroid a couple years now (cold in winter, constipation, liver problems) I took some Blackseed Oil (Nigella Sativa) a couple days ago and I am feeling MUCH better. Make sure you get Organic Cold Pressed oil. You can buy capsules or the oil at health food stores or amazon. I take a 500mg pill in morning and 500mg capsule before bed. Blackseed Oil may taste bad for some people. I have read studies it works for hashimotos too so I will make a post there too, but BSO is good for MANY other illness such as asthma, diabetes, insulin resistance, eczema, etc.
Re: Stomach Issues for Decades - Need Help For Friend
25 days agoHi Gary,
The two main causes of stomach ulcers are the bacteria Heliobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) overgrowth and NSAIDS such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen etc.
If your friend is using NSAIDS, he will have to stop and possibly use them topically to alleviate localized pain.
For the H. Pylori, your friend has two choices. The first and simplest choice is he can have his doctor put him on an antibiotic regimen that will eradicate the H. Pylori bacteria and very likely resolve his ulcers. After going through the antibiotic regimen for H. Pylori, he should go on a regimen of a high potency probiotic( 100 billion or more CFU) + plus higher dose prebiotic such as inulin and or FOS to try and rebalance the gut microbiome toward a significantly more healthful balance of gut bacteria.
The second choice is he can try natural supplements to try and fight the H. Pylori. There are several supplements that can help such as mastic gum taken at label recommended dosing. Here is a typical product :
https://www.amazon.com/Horbaach-Mastic-1000mg-Capsules-Non-GMO/dp/B07KM3JBMC/r
Grapefruit seed extract (GSE), a liquid concentrate which has to be diluted and drink at least one glass daily per label instructions. Here is a typical product :
https://www.amazon.com/Nutribiotic-Liquid-Concentrate-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B0002JHZO8/
High potency probiotics and synbiotics at 50 billion CFU or greater per day. Here is a link to typical probiotic :
https://www.amazon.com/Probiotics-probiotics-Probiotic-Supplement-Whole-Body/dp/B0C748WVZF/
Although synbiotics contain some form of prebiotic, I generally find the amount of prebiotic in them to be too small to be optimally effective and suggest taking a prebiotic like Inulin and or FOS in a larger dose than what is contained in synbiotics to help feed health promoting gut bacteria while not feeding pathogenic bacteria such as H. Pylori. Here is a link to a typical product that contains both FOS and Inulin :
https://www.amazon.com/Jerusalem-Artichoke-Prebiotic-Intestinal-Smoothie/dp/B074WKCPS4
Another beneficial supplement is garlic extract taken at the label recommended dose. Here is a typical product :
https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Bounty-Extract-Release-Softgels/dp/B0061GLLBE/
Yet another useful supplement is Berberine which helps fight H. Pylori while offering anti inflammatory effects to help calm the stomach and helps to promote more healthful gut bacteria. Berberine is usually taken at 1500 mg/day in three divided doses of 500 mg each. One after breakfast, one after lunch and one after dinner. Here is a typical 500 mg product :
https://www.amazon.com/Berberine-Capsules-Supplement-by-Carlyle/dp/B0CJFZNRGX
Another potent H. Pylori fighter is oregano oil available in soft gels such as these taken at label dosing directions :
https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Oregano-Oil-90-Softgels/dp/B0013OXFBI
Your friend may have other health issues, but treating the ulcers first, since they are already known to exist and are definitely contributing to his poor health, should be the first consideration. I am not a doctor and your friend will have to get his doctor's approval and supervision in order to use any of the remedies mentioned above.
On a related note, if the doctor determines that your friend also has another bacterial infection called Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), which can also cause severe gastrointestinal problems he may be eligible for a fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT), where they transplant the feces from a very healthy donor into your friends gut to try and rebalance his gut microbiome toward a significantly more healthful gut microbiome, which if he is eligible for FMT, may offer the most beneficial option for your friend. FMT has shown itself to be very useful for promoting the overall health of the transplant recipient, unfortunately, in the US it is only approved for C. diff.
Good luck to your friend going forward and please keep us posted on his progress!

Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used for eyelid trauma debridement and can effectively inhibit bacteria, especially anaerobic bacteria. Contaminated and infected wounds should be flushed using 3% hydrogen peroxide solution before eluting with saline to thoroughly remove dirt and foreign bodies from the wound. Hydrogen peroxide can cause keratoconjunctival injury; thus, it should be avoided on entering the ocular surface during use.

26 days agomidline17,
If your scalp is itchy and you have dandruff, there is a good chance that fungus is at play on your scalp. Making a saturated borax solution and shampooing your hair with it for a week may help. A saturated solution will show a small undissolved amount of borax in the bottom of the container that does not dissolve no matter how much you stir or mix it.
You can add a very small amount of regular shampoo to the borax water to give the sudsy feel of shampoo.
The oral borax may have driven internal fungus outward, exacerbating your scalp condition.

Re: Medicinal Turpentine
27 days agoRe: Turpentine and Castor Oil for Pneumonia
27 days agoTurpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (topical/inhalant)
From the Book: Over-the-counter drugs, March 1936-March 1978 · Volume 1 p. 546, by United States. Food and Drug Administration · 1980
Turpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (topical/inhalant). The Panel concludes that turpentine oil is safe in the dosage ranges used when applied topically or as an inhalant but there are insufficient data to permit final classification of its effectiveness for topical or inhalant OTC use as an anti-tussive.
– 38354 –
(1) Safety. Clinical experience has confirmed that turpentine oil is safe when applied topically or used as an inhalant in the dosage ranges used as an anti-tussive. The Panel concludes that oil of turpentine is safe when applied externally or vaporized in boiling water as a steam inhalant. However, the Panel has determined elsewhere in this document that it is not safe for OTC use when used orally as an anti-tussive. (See part III. paragraph B.2.b. above-Turpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (oral).)
Oil of turpentine is a volatile oil consisting of a mixture of pinenes derived from the oleoresin obtained from Pinus palustrus. Nelson et al. (Ref. 1) found exposure to a vapor of 420 to 560 mcg/ 1 acceptable to most of their human subjects. The threshold for industrial exposure for 8 hours has been set at 560mcg/1. The maximum concentration obtainable with a currently marketed OTC preparation is 36 mcg/1 (Refs. 2 and 3 ). No histological evidence of pulmonary lesions were seen in mice and rats exposed to lethal concentrations of turpentine vapors (Ref. 4). Inhalation of 300 mcg/1 of turpentine vapor by mice for 15 minutes did not influence the electrocardiogram, respiratory minute volume, pulmonary airway, resistance, or compliance (Ref. 5). One study in mice using a mixture of volatile oils, one of which was turpentine, showed a decrease in pulmonary antibacterial activity (Ref. 6). Two other studies showed no change when the mixture was used (Refs. 7 and 8).
In several studies in children and infants suffering from minor breathing discomforts associated with the "common cold" no side effects that were drug related were observed when a medicated steam was administered (Refs. 9 through 13). Turpentine has been widely used as a part of a mixture of volatile oils for many years with approximately two complaints per million packages purchased (Ref. 14).
(2) Effectiveness. There are no well-controlled studies documenting the effectiveness of turpentine oil (topical/inhalant) as an antitussive. Its effectiveness is uncertain due to a lack of properly controlled studies of the substance by itself.
(3) Proposed dosage. Dosage for adults and children 2 to under 12 years is as follows: (i) For topical use as a 4.0 percent ointment preparation: To be rubbed on the throat, chest, and back as a thick layer. The area of application may be covered. However, clothing should be left loose about the throat and chest to help the vapor rise to reach the nose and mouth. Applications may be repeated up to 3 times daily.
(ii) For steam inhalation use as a 5.5 percent solution: 1 tablespoonful of solution per quart of water is added directly to the water in a hot steam vaporizer, bowl, or washbasin; or 2 teaspoonfuls of solution per pint of water are added to an open container of boiling water. Breathe in vapors during the period of medicated steam generation. May be repeated 3 times daily.
For children under 2 years, there is no recommended topical or inhalant dosage except under the advice and supervision of a physician.

Borax Helps LS But Causes Hair Loss
27 days ago
Hi all,
33 year old female
I have had ongoing health concerns for a few years. Fungal Issues and suspected Lichen Sclerosis. I read many reviews regarding using the Borax remedy for both issues. So, about a year ago, I started taking borax internally. My issues at first flared, but then my skin was visibly healing within just 2 weeks time. However, I stopped using the borax internally because my hair started to fall out 2 weeks into using it.
A year later, I really wanted to use the borax solution again and confirm that it indeed caused my hair fall. Again, I did the borax for two weeks. Again, there was improvement in skin issues but severe hair fall.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have read a few studies on toxicity induced alopecia- but I don't think borax would cause this.
I am wondering if potentially the borax stirred up a fungus in my hair follicles that caused the sever hair fall? And I am wondering if I should stick with it longer- lose more hair but potentially come out the other side with a healed scalp?
I do have visible dandruff. And the hair fall didn't stop upon stopping the borax. Which makes me think it could be fungal.
Any suggestions would be so helpful and appreciated!!
