Re: Dr. Christopher's Ointment
1 month agoStrangely, it seems to be changing gears and is now having a diuretic effect.
I suspect part of the wobbliness is/was due to an inner ear/kidney..."thing". As if the "gravel root" aspect of the ointment has kicked into a higher gear...
2 differences in diet have been chicken and dark chocolate. Lots of leftover chicken over the past couple of days and a craving for cocoa - the constituents of which are similar to the constituents of bone. But that's just been the past couple of days.
The chicken was leftovers that needed to be used and the dark chocolate is just the form of chocolate I use that doesn't cause the ill effects of milk chocolate and for which just one small piece quenches the craving for cocoa.
Not sure what the inner ear thing is, although I do recall a reference of old, attributed to one individual, who postulated that he suspected all blockages were actually just various states of hardened mucous - including tumors, edema and all blockages referred to as "stones", which he suspected to be crystalized forms of mucous. No idea where I came across that...
I HAVE had a feeling of sinus stuffiness (without any signs of mucous) which seems to drip a bit as "water" from the nose a few times during this adventure. Not like sniffles but like plain water that doesn't "sniff" but, rather, simply runs out. Which is sort of weird...and very interesting.
It would also seem that I had a couple of spots of edema I wasn't aware of until now, as they have been very nearly eliminated over the past couple of days and are now, a little bit sore - down around the ankles. Plus, my feet, which tend to be dry, are sweating more normally.
There seems to be no end to the effects of this ointment.
Re: Fatty Liver Disease
1 month agoHi Beverly,
Two other supplements that have shown benefit for NAFLD are Astaxanthin and Melatonin as I discussed here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease.html
If you need additional help, Berberine at 1500 mg /day in three divided doses of 500 mg each at breakfast lunch and dinner has also shown benefit as discussed here :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378874124006536?via=ihub
Here is a relevant quote :
' BBR alleviated NAFLD via mediating PPAR signaling pathways through targeting AKR1B10. This study proved that AKR1B10 is a novel target of BBR for NAFLD treatment and helps to find new targets for the treatment of NAFLD by using active natural compounds isolated from traditional herbal medicines as the probe.'

Borax for Psoriatic Arthritis - Question for Art
1 month agoHi JD,
I have severe psoriatic arthritis and borax has kept it in remission and my joints pain free for over 16 years.
I was on methotrexate for the psoriasis, but it had no effect and can be harsh on the body and organs so I got off of it. I was on prednisone for the psoriasis also, but they were already weaning me off of it from the very first dose.
Two weeks, Imo, is not enough time if your condition is moderate to severe. It took you years to get where you are and I don't think two weeks is a realistic expectation to reverse years of arthritis. I started to notice benefit within the first month with remission within 3 months, give or take. The founder of the treatment, Dr. Newnham, said that max benefit can occur in the three to four month range in severe cases and or older people. I realize that some people have reported benefit in two or three weeks, but they may have been in a less severe state. Two weeks would be fast, even for the biologics.
I had no muscle aches, but joint aches in the great majority of my joints.
You didn't say how much borax you are taking and when and how you are taking it, so you need to give this information in order to know if you are taking the actual dose that Ted recommended.

Re: Coconut Oil for Hypothyroidism
1 month agoBorax for Psoriatic Arthritis - Question for Art
1 month agoHi Art! I tested negative for both Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus, and was finally recently able to see a Rheumatologist, Who has told me he's pretty much positive I have Psoriatic Arthritis which he said was attacking my joints and my tendons (causing swelling and pain in my fingers and toes). I have not took ACV or Borax Since august 22 when I talked to you last. The doctor has put me on Methotrexate and temporarily on Prednisone because I now am in constant and lots of times very severe pain in places all over my body, but I would like to get off of them as soon as possible. Do you have any dealings with Psoriatic Arthritis? I understand it is different than RA and OA, but I'm not really sure about treatments being different. Thank you!
Re: DMSO and Aloe Vera
1 month agoI don't think it is 'fully dead'. It may not be ultra fresh, but I've used Lily of the Desert brand aloe gel, keeping it refrigerated, and it stays efficacious for years.
I also have used aloe juice (refrigerated) in my smoothies and it works wonderfully to keep me 'moving'. :)
Cheers!

I'M 95 a couple years ago when my late wife had C-Diff and her docter had nothing more to offer to stop it I suggested that she try some of my Lugal 5% iodine solution. Out of desperation she agreed but wanted her on bottle so she probebly toke a dropper full and within a day or so no more C-Diff.
She was a big PHarma girl and me the alternative guy/herbal guy so many MANY times we didn't see eye to eye.
So I hope this may help some one

1 month agoRe: Pokeberries for Arthritis
1 month agoHowdy, Jimbo.
I use pokeberry juice in a honey and vinegar concoction as an energy and lymphatic booster. After finding a good plant (they're everywhere around where I am) I harvest the whole stem bunches and compost what I do not use. I usually bring home anywhere from 1-2 pounds per harvest. Once harvested, place the bunches in a stock pot with enough water to cover and let sit for 30 minutes to loosen any "wild residues" from the berries. Swish once, then strain. Cover with water again and agitate gently to finish the wash. Strain again and let dry, setting the stem bunches on towels for about 10-15 minutes.
I use a fork to pop the berries off of their little stems. USE ONLY THE DARK PURPLE BERRIES. If they're still hard or not fully ripe, they contain too much toxin and will not be usable. Then place the picked berries in a stainless steel or glass bowl. You want a good, hard surface which some plastics will not afford.
Use the end of a wooden spoon or other rounded utensil to crush the berries. DO NOT GRIND. You don't want to rupture the seed skins since that's where all the bad stuff is. Gently crush the berries until you have a pulp. I then add about a cup of raw cider vinegar, swish to mix well and then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Gently press the pulp in the strainer but don't stir it around, avoiding rubbing the seeds against the mesh. You can use water or anything else, but adding something to the pulp helps pull most of the juice out. Just be careful not to bother the seeds.
I hope that helps.
Garlic for Rabies - Mad Dog Bite
1 month agoMEDICAL TREATMENT 100 YEARS AGO
LETTERS and INTERVIEWS: EXPERIENCES with RABIES
The following letter was written by Dr. Rush to a patient who had been to the South for his health and was returning to his family in New York. It was reprinted from The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal (Dec. 30,1909), to whom it came from the descendants of the patient:
Garlic taken in substance, that is, a bruised clove three times a day, or in infusion, that is, eight or ten cloves bruised and put into a pint of peppermint tea, of which a wineglassful should be taken three times a day.
From the book; The Medical Standard, Vol. XXXIII, February 1910, page 59 – 60.
Plinius (Pliny the Elder), the Roman Naturalist (AD 23/24–79), states that Garlic is an excellent remedy for mad dog bite. Dr. Holuby in his works on “Slowakischen Volksmedizin” relates how a woman having been bitten by a mad dog become raving and no remedy was known. She was thrown into a cell in which there happened to be hanging a wreath of Garlic and in her mad furor she bit into the garlic and ate it. Presently she fell into a deep sleep and awoke completely cured.
Multiple Remedies for Neck Bone Spurs
1 month agoI am writing this to give hope to others. I had a neck injury in 1994. Fast forward to 2008 (14 years) and a chiropractor showed me the x-ray of the bone spurs on my neck. The said this size was large but to be expected seeing the injury was 14 years ago. Fast forward to today (October 2024) 30 years from injury - x-ray results have come back showing osteoarthritis in the base of my neck, but NO MENTION OF BONE SPURS at all. They were taken to investigate some numbness and tingling in both hands, so if they were seen, it would have been mentioned.
This is from multiple factors. I found a facebook group about orthomolecular medicine and vitamin C - in 2014 I started high dosing Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Then I started taking many other vitamins, minerals, supplements of various kinds. I have used borax/boron, raw red wine vinegar with mother (I am intolerant to apples), alkalising drinks, fulvic/humic acid, I take supplements to help my body digest food including high dose bromelain with each meal, vitamin D3 and K2, grapeseed extract and resveratrol, alphalipoic acid, ginkgo biloba, omega 3 oil, borage seed oil, theanine. I regularly use castor oil mixed 50/50 with essential oils for joint pain. I found 40% rosemary EO, 40% peppermint EO and 20% clove bud EO helped the most. This EO blend diluted with castor oil was used on my hips and lower back where I had the most issues since 2006.
The only thing I can tell you for sure is to (1) take your supplements in a form that is best for your body (each vitamin will have different forms so folinic acid can be used by everyone, but folic acid needs to be converted a few times before your body uses it and about a quarter of the population can't do this, zinc citrate is easily absorbed by the body where zinc picolinate isn't, liquid supplements are usually absorbed better than tablets - put tablets you take in a glass of water overnight to see if they dissolve as some don't, so I will bite my gel caps and squeeze the contents out of it as those don't dissolve in a glass of water) and (2) in a high enough dose. Research doses in Ayurveda - it is often one heaping teaspoon, 3 times a day. If you are talking 00 capsule size, one heaping teaspoon is 4 to 8 capsules. I read a herbalist saying the dosages on the bottles of capsules of herbs weren't even close to the dose she would prescribe. We have the RDA on a bottle of vitamins, but this is the minimum needed to prevent your teeth falling out from scurvy, etc. In my case, for me to become healthier, I needed much more than the RDA. So I didn't regularly get x-rays, but I am here to say that our body is truly amazing and will heal itself given the right things.

1 month agoRe: High Calcium (Hypercalcemia)
1 month agoWnenkow,
Are you taking vitamin D3 supplements by chance? If so, I would stop them because they increase calcium levels in the blood. Magnesium helps to balance calcium and is a mineral most people don't have enough of anyway. Finding a good supplement and topical magnesium both work great. Even mag chloride in a bath soak will get your levels up. This can help put the calcium that's in your blood serum back into your bones.
Re: Turpentine Side Effects
1 month agoandja quest, my goodness! An ounce of turpentine daily is far too much! That is not safe!
The max dose is 1 teaspoon taking with a heaping teaspoon of sugar twice a week. An even safer product is the turpentine derived from red pine trees available from Optimally Organic. This species is the safest for internal consumption and requires a smaller dose to get the desired effect.
Not sure what bath you're referring to.
as far as the condition you're trying to heal, I would look into boosting your body's stem cell production by taking glyconutrients and using an X39 patch from Lifewave.
Re: Cilantro for Grover's Disease
1 month agoHi Pam,
my husband broke out in a rash a couple of months ago. He normally has great skin so this came out of the blue. I thought it could be Grover's so I had him start on cilantro smoothies - a bunch of cilantro a day. Sometimes he would do 2. Within a couple of weeks the itchiness and most of the bumps were gone. He continued the smoothies for a week or so, and everything seemed good. However, the rash came back after a couple of weeks and he was going to start the cilantro again. But I had a hunch it was the new Starbucks mocha drinks he was buying from the grocery store that he was having some kind of reaction to. He immediately stopped drinking them and the rash quickly went away and hasn't returned. I'm sharing this in case the cause in your case is something different you're eating/ drinking. Another thing - big food corporations are buying up little food companies all the time and changing the product. There was a peanut butter and honey protein bar that my kids used to eat and love. Fast forward a couple of years after not having gotten them in a while, and my son breaks out in a horribly itchy eczema rash. Only thing different were the bars. I checked and found out the company had been sold a while back to Mondelez- the same company that owns Oreo, Ritz, sour patch kids, and other no so healthy processed foods.
I recently found a website that published lab results of heavy metal content in various food products - sone of the otherwise “healthy” foods that are organic and don't have chemicals, contain dangerously high levels of heavy metals (lead, arsenic, or cadmium). It's unfortunate that there aren't more stringent regulations in place for our food supply!
