Boric Acid Mix Helped Eye Issues
1 month agoBoric Acid Eye Wash Solution: Rob's Improved Formula
- Boric acid – 1/8 (weaker)– one teaspoon (stronger), Boric acid readily dissolves in hot water.
- Sodium chloride USP – one teaspoon (I use neti-pot salt that comes in packets)
- Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) – 1/4 teaspoon, It acts as a buffer so the formula won't sting or burn the eyes and also alkaline the formula.
- Povidone-iodine – see below
- Water – one cup (8oz) boiled and cooled
Some people have gotten results using just one or two ingredients to resolve their eye issue's. This formula is for more difficult cases where the infection can be caused by fungus (like candida, keratitis, endophthalmitis) bacteria (like chlamydial, gonorrhoeae, stapphlococcus, streptococcus) virus (like herpes simplex type 1, adenovirus, zoster virus) parasites (like amoeba, acanthamoebia, demox mites, toxoplasma, ets..)
It gets pretty gross when you think how micoorganisms are transmitted. Like, from mother to the baby during childbirth or due to the contact of infected semen or vaginal fluids with the eyes. These infections can be spread from eye to eye by fingers, watery vaginal discharges from women and men not washing their hands afterwards, shared towels or cloths, coughing and sneezing, touching surfaces like door knobs or gas pumps and eye-seeking flies. Always wash your hands throughly several times daily.
How to use: Allow solution to cool to luke warm and apply either with an eye cup wash or by soaking a cotton ball saturated with the boric acid solution washing the eye carefully and allowing the solution into the eye. Relief and healing is very quick, often within the day of application. Use 3 times a day for pink eye. It is very soothing. I have never taken my kids to the doctor for pink eye. This clears it up so fast.
Note: If using eye cups to rinse out eyes, I like to use one drop or more of Povidone iodine 10% (increase to tolerance) in the eye cup solution, which is about 1oz.
Lumbrokinase for Blood Clots
1 month agoCURED PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE
In 2004, I used high dose (10 capsules / 20,000 FU) nattokinase with some serrapeptase 3 times a day to cure my peripheral artery disease on all four limbs. I struggled to walk. It took around a month to resolve.
I did figure out back then through experimenting that some serrapeptase is needed for it to work.
CURED BLOOD CLOTS IN KIDNEY
In 2017, I cured my kidney failure symptoms with lumbrokinase. After months of trying to figure out what was wrong I concluded it must be clots. Other organs were also swelling.
Nattokinase in a small dose was useless. I used the Doctor's Best brand of lumbrokinase. It took 3-4 days of taking lumbrokinase in full doses 3 times a day before the swelling started to subside.
MAJOR PROBLEM WITH LUMBROKINASE
The problem with lumbrokinase based on Lumbrokinase Units LKU is that one doesn't have any idea what the actual Fibrolytics Units strength is. There is no way to convert the Lumbrokinase Units LKU to FU.
IN PURSUIT OF LOWER COST
There is a lot of deceptive labeling for lumbrokinase. When your talking about life and death conditions, one has to be more certain. Doctor's Best brand has been the most honest and value brand for me. There is no way to compare labels due to LKU to FU conversion problem.
I am very suspicious of those low cost Lumbrokinase brands. The labeling on various brands are also horrible. You also got the higher priced lumbrokinase which seems too high.
If a brand doesn't have LKU on label then I'd avoid it. A mg measurement is meaningless also. Until some standard like maybe Buoluke uses like tPA activity, the brands can't be easily compared. They really need to find a way to get it to FU's or something.
I can only recommend buying doctors best brand for value and reliability.
WILL NOW USE NATTOKINASE
I recently decided to buy the liposomal 12000 nattokinase with 12000 FU in it and that already has the serrapeptase in it instead of lumbrokinase. I haven't tried this yet.
The FU measurement shows me what I'm getting, and also I don't have to worry about the absorption aspect, it being liposomal.
NATTOZIMES
One that I neglected was Nattozimes which has 6600+ FU per capsules. Nattozimes is like Nattokinase but produced in a lower cost way. This may be the lowest cost way to go. I have not tested it but I have more trust with Swanson brand name.

1 month agoHydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB) for Muscle Mass
1 month agoHydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB)
There have been studies on older people using HMB, and in studies it did work for them.
I am nearly 70 and used the powder kind last year. I could feel it after a month. The powder is kind of caustic if not mixed into something. I took it once a day in the morning.
I got some capsuled Nutricost brand HMB that has vitamin D in it that they found in study that it worked better than HMB alone.
Capsules are a more convenient form for me. Three capsules gives one 6000 IU vitamin D which is slightly high to me.
I think it may be preferable to take it in the evening because you build the muscle during sleep.
Hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB) has several potential health benefits, including:
- Muscle growth: HMB can help build lean muscle mass by increasing protein synthesis and decreasing protein breakdown.
- Improved exercise recovery: HMB can help muscles recover faster after intense or prolonged exercise.
- Reduced muscle soreness: HMB can help reduce muscle soreness.
- Better aerobic performance: HMB can help increase oxygen intake and improve cardio aerobic capacity, allowing you to work harder for longer.
- Reduced fatigue: HMB can help reduce fatigue, allowing older adults to stay active for longer.
- Preserves muscle: HMB can help preserve muscle during extended durations and when calorically deficient.
Re: Constant Diarrhea in Grandmother After Painkiller Injections
1 month agoI am so sorry to hear of your grandmother's battle with C-diff.
On Earth Clinic's C-diff page, many people eventually found relief with lots of probiotics (supplements as well as probiotic foods – kefir, yogurt, cultured buttermilk, fermented foods, kombucha, etc.).
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/c-diff.html
The most potent probiotic seems to be Saccharomyces boulardii.
FlorastorMAX was mentioned.
Check with your local health food stores in Poland. If they don't have the exact product, they probably can recommend an equivalent (as long as it contains Saccharomyces boulardii).
Or perhaps you can contact Florastor online. They say it's the #1 probiotic worldwide so they might have distributors in Poland.
What a cherished grandchild you are. I wish the best of luck to you and your grandmother.

Constant Diarrhea in Grandmother After Painkiller Injections - Need Help!
1 month agoHello, I have a problem with my 85-year-old grandmother. After painkiller injections, she contracted clostridium bacteria. She has constant diarrhea that has been going on for a month. She spent the last 10 days in hospital, but her condition worsened. She's home now, but we still can't stop the diarrhea. Even water causes immediate diarrhea. I assume it's because of the PPIs they gave at the hospital. What can you do in this situation? I give her barley water for colostridium, but it makes the diarrhea worse.

1 month agoI found great and unexpected relief from a Dead Sea Salt bath when I was soaking my Hamstring that was affected by Sciatica... My normally inflamed hands and wrists tamed completely over a few days, the itch was gone...
It came back because I have to completely detox my Liver, but it's good to know it will work when needed... In the future I can just use a large Tupperware bowl to soak my hands...
Re: Rhodiola for Depression
1 month agoThank you, Art I dare not use Ashwaganda, it, s still mor effective than Rhodolia. A was so happy the two first day I used Rhodolia that I would like to know more about this plant. What are the activeingredients in this plant? If I knew them, I could take them in low quantity. What action have this plant on the brain? On wich part of the brain does it have an effect. Why did my brain stopped to accept it and provoked a panic attack? I already tried Gingko and felt worse with it. That's the reason I'm so attached to Rhodolia. In the beginning at least. Than you

1 month agoRe: Cilantro for Grover's Disease
1 month agoThis is so helpful. I have had a heck of a time since January - 9 months - with a rash on my torso. Numerous doc and derm appt and associated cost pointed to folliculitis. He even biopsy and that was inconclusive. Various antihistamines, cortisone creams, antibiotics failed to do much more than temporary relied. After looking at 1000s of online photos, I came across Grover's. Sadly, the causes are unknown. But my bldg has mold, I am pretty sure. Sulfates are a definite trigger. It's so each at times that I often take melatonin or Benydryl to sleep. I'll be trying your cilantro smoothie tomorrow! Thank you, all!!! Fingers crossed. One question: did the rash tend to migrate to new locations - rom lower back up to mid and they to my side and now my abdomen area. This is over weeks/months and not a fast spread but a progression of where the break out is located. Also, mine is bilateral - what is on one side mirrors the other. Pam
