Adhesive Arachnoditis Remedies Needed
20 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
20 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
20 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.

Re: Castor Oil on Eyelids
20 days agoI often use a mix of castor oil and turpentine on my eye lids and around my eyes. It's excellent and never caused any issues for me.
Nutmeg for PTSD
20 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
20 days ago
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
21 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.

Re: DMSO for Knee Pain
21 days agoI think what he meant was that you prepare the magnesium solution aside and the 80% DMSO solution aside, then you mix together half the bottle from the former and half from the latter.

21 days agoRe: OA and RA Question for Art
21 days agoHi Art...I bit the bullet! I started yesterday with the Walter Last protocol dosing. I took my first teaspoonful added a bit more water and swallowed it like a shot. Didn't care for the taste so today I put it in my coffee. So far, so good...had a little loose bowel but that's not a big deal to me. I read that Walter Last recommends increasing the intake to 3 teaspoonfuls per day spaced out for people with arthritis, menopause, etc. which I have. Given that I just started yesterday, when should I increase to 2 teaspoons/day and then 3 teaspoons/day? Also, do you think this is the best way I should be taking it to get the best benefit of helping with these issues? I read about Ted's dosing and it seems like you get more his way but I don't think I can drink it like that...I have very sensitive taste buds! And, while I do drink a lot of water every day (reverse osmosis), I know I wouldn't be able to drink it with the taste of the borax in it...shoot, I can't even drink spring water it tastes so bad to me!!
If this protocol should work for me (pray that it does) what can I expect as far as my arthritis goes? I know you can't give a definitive outcome, but maybe you can tell me what others have had happen to them. For example, does it just slow down the progress? Or will the calcium deposits on my fingers actually go away? Mine is mostly in my hands...some fingers on my hands only bend at the middle joint and no longer bend at the joint by the tip. Some days the pain is worse than others but I know it will get worse without any sort of treatment. I have a hard time making a fist and my grip strength has declined. But I'd be fine if they stayed like they are and never got worse. Not sure if it matters but my arthritis is likely hereditary.
And, one other question (for now! ) is should I not be using toothpaste with fluoride in it?
Thanks Art...you seem to be quite knowledgeable on this and many other subjects on this site. I'm happy to have found it and look forward to engaging on this site and for some relief for my issues.

21 days agoAloe and yarrow internally for psoriasis
I got 70% reduction in scalp inflammation in only 7 days with aloe vera powder. I just get the raw organic dried powder and mix about 1-2 teaspoons in a glass of water twice a day. I also drank yarrow tea.
I'm surprised glutamine isn't mentioned here. Supposed to heal the small intestine gut pretty quickly due to being a food for the cells in the small intestine. There can be some cancer concerns of taking glutamine supplementation though, so that's a consideration (perhaps use it only once now and then while doing some of your gut heal stack. If taking glutamine supplementation, turmeric and/or barberry tea can help minimize it's usage by cancer cells (as well as not having any sugar).
Re: Acid Reflux
21 days agoReflux is caused by low stomach acid... Betaine is the solution. It's a hydrochloric acid that the stomach lacks. It happens in older people too- the not enough stomach acid. This causes the valve to open when it shouldn't which causes the reflux. The medical Institutes teach to take ANTACIDS which KILL stomach acid even more! And they KNOW it.... (they do this so that you'll always have the problem and always come back for more of their Big Pharma produced antacids.) People need Betaine supplements to replace the lost stomach acid.Look up the video of Dr. Berg on reflux. Dr. Bergamn also has a video on Bruxism which requires a chiropractic adjustment to correct it. Yes- I've also read that parasites cause Bruxism- (and everything else...) that's why they're putting them in our food and are in ALL Vaxxines---- Learn quickly my friends and realise the medical mafia is not a health industry- its a sickne$$ industry-If you're well- they don't make a profit. And if you had a GLIMPSE of their profit$---You'd understand why this small group of powerful men who own the medical industry...do what they do.....
