Colloidal Silver Confusion
1 month agoI have been reading all the info on colloidal silver here, and I find some is contradictory to the site I follow called The Natural Health Library.
I bought the silver maker from that site, and have been making my own. However, they day the silver can be clear, no colour. On here, it says there should be a yellowish colour. Also, it says if you get a metallic taste, it is ready. On here, I haven't read anyone saying about the taste.
I am now wondering if I have bought something that is only making ionic silver, not colloidal.
Does anyone know how I would find out whether what I bought is the real thing?
Thanks.
Re: Dr. Christopher's Ointment
1 month agoStrangely - and for the first time in about 50 years - I suddenly caught myself thinking (and feeling like) I could actually sprint - as per Sean O'mara's explorations and discoveries about the practice.
I loved all-out sprints when I was a kid and never dreamed I'd ever be able to sprint again but here I am - 65 years old and wondering when would be a good time to actually start sprinting again.
I haven't - yet - not knowing at what stage my tissue and bone repair is - but I'm pretty sure I could have a sprint right now...after consciously and deliberately napping a LOT over the past 24 hours to see what would happen...it's the strangest feeling...zero wobbles and I don't even think the head of my right femur is complete yet. Or maybe it is, I don't know...
Yesterday I was so wobbly, at one point, I thought my neighbors must think I'm drunk or something after a short walk to the street and back and today I feel like I can sprint?!? What kind of wackiness IS this?!? I've barely done much more than sit on my ass, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes since the serious work on my hip started, a couple months ago - and I feel like I can sprint?!? This is wild!
Oh! I've also been castor oiling over the liver whenever I think about it...not everyday or regularly, just when it occurs to me.

1 month agoHi Helen,
I think that regarding the calcium that your GP recommends of 400 mg/day, it would be best to get that amount from foods high in calcium as opposed to a supplement.
Regarding the strontium, I would place the other supplements I wrote about in that article ahead of it in terms of importance for osteoporosis.
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/osteoporosis-supplements-art-solbrig.html
Regarding the hyaluronic acid, I use NOW brand Double Strength Hyaluronic Acid (HA) capsules which contain 100 mg of HA per capsule and I have found 300 mg/day to be the effective dose for DDD. Here is a link to the product on Amazon:

1 month agoAn update. I did see my GP and I feel she was very thorough and understanding of all of my concerns. There doesn't seem to be anything that stands out in the lab work aside from my cholesterol being high still, even on the Statin she has me on. She believes it's genetic which apparently means it can't be controlled with diet, which I did try. She referred me to a cardiologist who increased my Statin dose and is sending me for a stress test and ultra sounds. My GP wanted to put me on hormone replacement therapy because I went through menopause at an early age but I am not keen on the idea and I don't have any menopause symptoms, unless all my symptoms are from menopause ( ha ha ). My calcium level is 2.46, ( 2.15 - 2.60 ) being the 'normal' range so I guess it's good? Do I need to take additional calcium? My GP recommends 400mg a day for the Osteoporosis. When I asked the Cardiologist if taking calcium was safe for my circumstances she said 'why not?', but I was under the impression that Calcium was risky for my age and being post menopause. I did buy the Stop Pain for my back which works pretty good! And with the Melatonin lotion has helped me a fair bit. I started taking Hyaluronic acid 200mg and it might be helping my back, it's definitely not as painful as it was. Art would you still recommend the Strontium if my Calcium level is seemingly normal?
Re: DMSO Warning
1 month agoSusan in NC states, "DO NOT USE DMSO!!!! There are laws in place that DMSO is not to be used for humans, AND THIS IS FOR A SEVERE HEALTH REASON!!!! As a law student I can assure everyone that there are no laws in place that DMSO is not to be used by humans."
This is utter nonsense. Susan is a good example of how a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and Earthclinic should remove this alarmist and ignorant post immediately. Her post reads like the text of a barbers manual from the 13th century. Certainly one should wash one's hands before using it but the overwhelming majority of this post is from a Saturday Night Live script band the function of a misguided & overly active imagination and has no place in a credible site such as Earth Clinic. The safety profile of DMSO is well established and reams of research discussing it's many uses can be found on the NIH's pubmed for anyone to see. It's used for humans & animals for many ailments and as with any substance do your due diligence and you should be fine. I will likely discuss some of it's more popular and useful applications under various topics, particularly it's many useful & inexpensive uses for animal maladies where it's uses go well beyond the scope of a comment meant to sort out dozens of fallacies concerning it's legal and medical status.

1 month agoTea Tree Oil/Aloe Vera Gel Eye Lid Ointment – Instructions for Blepharitis
In my effort to improve this formula. I am satisfied with the performance of this recipe for use in Blepharitis “Demodex mites”, Weeping eyes, Eye Irriation, Eye Crust, Eye infection, Chalazion (Eye Lump), Eye Stye, etc...
You will need:
* Tea tree oil (USP grade)
* Aloe Vera Gel (Fruit of the Earth Brand, No additives)
* Cosmetic jar with lid, 1 oz. used but clean
Instructions:
* Rinse and clean cosmetic jar
* Add ½ aloe vera gel to jar, then add eight (8) drops tea tree oil, then add ½ aloe vera gel til jar is almost full
* Gently mix the aloe and tea tree oil with a butter knife til uniformed
* Apply about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon mixture with your finger to the eyelid “WITH EYES CLOSED” and rub into the eye lashes and eye lids til dry. It dries in about 15 seconds.
* Repeat treatment 2x every day for the next 30 days for good results.
Why I chose these ingredients?
AnchorAloe gel: Aloe vera contains 75 potentially active constituents: vitamins, enzymes, minerals, sugars, lignin, saponins, salicylic acids and amino acids. Introduction Esteemed as an internal or external healing plant for at least 5000 years it is often called ‘The Miracle Plant.' or “Plant of Immortality”. Aloe vera has been used for medicinal purposes in several cultures for millennia: Greece, Egypt, India, Mexico, Japan and China. Egyptian queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra used it as part of their regular beauty regimes. Alexander the Great is said to have sent his army from Greece to an island off the coast of Somalia just to obtain its crop of aloe. The first reference to Aloe vera in English was a translation by John Goodyew in A.D. 1655 of Dioscorides' Medical treatise De Materia Medica.
For ANY skin trauma or irritation it will heal, soothe and reduce inflammation. It provides 20 of the 22 human required amino acids and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids. It also contains salicylic acid that possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Lignin, an inert substance, when included in topical preparations, enhances penetrative effect of the other ingredients into the skin. Saponins that are the soapy substances form about 3% of the gel and have cleansing and antiseptic properties.
Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial and antifungal activity that make it perfect for first aid applications. In the study, an ointment containing 5% tea tree oil was applied to the eyelashes of the patients. The patients were told to apply the ointment after washing their faces, once a day for 4 weeks.
The antimicrobial properties of tea tree oil make it the most effective remedy for treating blepharitis. This essential oil also helps reduce the inflammation in your eyes and is also particularly efficient at killing demodex mites.
It was found that there was considerably less itching and fewer mites. It is worth noting that 2 out of the 24 patients experienced irritation from the ointment.

1 month agoMy mom always had prune juice in the house for those occasional bouts of constipation. I would image 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup would be plenty as it is very sweet.
The other thing that works like a charm is celery juice, but I find it less gentle than prune juice. You will be cleaned out, but the need to go can come on somewhat abruptly and with a vengeance.
I love this site and look for natural remedies for everything. Thank you, Earth Clinic!
Turpentine Side Effects
1 month ago
Starting turpentine, as a search for something to fix my throat and what I believe to be a fractured hyoid, I'm looking for a good description of how to use turpentine. I have an addiction and almost an unwillingness to stop drinking coffee and I believe this is a problem. Several years ago, I blew my nose so hard that I had a fracture in my throat, I believe was my hyoid. Now, I have a gap above my Adams apple. I've been through several tests, x-rays, images and the medical staff can't find any abnormalities. I'm no idiot and I know I have an issue. My prominent tonsils have recessed. I cannot expel phlegm when I have always been able to. I have no barrier to stop fluids, or anything from entering my throat and I know I have a problem. I may have an esophageal tear. I'm using castor oil, a nebulizer to inhale colloidal and ionic silver and I supplement.
I started taking 100% Pure Gum Spirits, dosing an ounce a day for about a week and a few intermittent uses before this. I don't know why, but I've developed chest pain, elbow pain, and different feelings throughout my abdominal area.
Regardless of these negative effects, I'd like to try the bath and need some advice.
Dietary Changes for Acne
1 month agoI struggled with moderate acne my entire life. Two rounds of the "cure" accutane, and it still came back again and again.
Then I went on a trip and wasn't eating my typical diet. My acne cleared up for the whole trip until I bought a jar of peanut butter.
I started to pay attention to what I was eating when I would break out. If I eat ANY nuts or seeds or seed oils (such as sesame oil) I break out with a vengeance. If I steer clear, my skin is entirely clear.
It's a bummer because I adore nuts, seeds, hummus, grainy breads that are full of seeds. But my skin does not appreciate these for some reason.
If you think diet might be a factor for you, I recommend paying attention to the patterns (you can keep a symptom diary) to figure out what breaks you out. It might be something unexpected.

An aqueous solution of povidone-iodine prevents conjunctivitis caused by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, richettsia, viruses and fungi. The solution also prevents conjunctivitis caused by gonococus and chlamydia microorganisms. Povidone-iodine is a non-irritating form of iodine that has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action and has a low possibility of micoorganisms developing resistance.

1 month agoRe: Seeking Remedies for Cardiac Calcium Deposits
1 month agoI found the reference I was looking for. It was just a comment that was hiding in an article about rheumatoid arthritis that referred to bone spurs - which are inorganic calcium deposits which would explain the close relationship between RA and coronary artery disease. One comment which steered me off in a direction I didn't intend to go, as I've never had such issues.
This is one of those issues that requires an extensive medical history, supervision/support and/or balls of steel. Both in you as well as in anyone who would treat you.
The issue isn't dissolving the calcium deposits - that's easy - the issue is with how the body handles the debris - which can be scary - and with how fearless one is.
Granted, dissolving calcium deposits isn't the same as fixing a heart and leaving the body with "installed hardware" - like a pacemaker or shunts or something - to deal with but there would still be debris - the elimination of which is highly likely to create its own "symptoms". Some of which could be quite scary and how one deals with that - or fails to - is the issue. That's where the "balls of steel" come in and where medicine fails, miserably, as one doesn't need fearlessness when one is immune to prosecution and/or free to turn away risky cases.
Naturopaths aren't angels either. When people mingle their passions with profit, the virtues go right out the window.
This is the difference between Dr. Christopher and the modern naturopath. Dr. Christopher fearlessly cured many incurables and literally wrote the book and freely shared what he'd discovered on how to do it BUT...
..he also spent many nights in jail for that and was "run out of town" more than once while those he'd cured kept silent or, in some cases, turned on him.
In the end, it broke his heart. Not because he suffered harm, but because hubris was - and still is - so prevalent within humanity. Including among presumed to know better.
Colloidal Silver Question for Art
1 month agoHi John,
Since you are specifically inquiring about 320 ppm silver nanoparticles, I am assuming you have a SilverTron Elite silver nanoparticle generator which includes a 320 ppm setting for making 320 ppm AgNPs which produces batches of 320 ppm that are approximately the color of black coffee.
Here are the directions you asked for using a hot plate stirrer which is also required for making 320 ppm AgNPs. These are directions for making a quantity of 250 ml. You can adjust your SilverTron selection accordingly to make larger batch sizes at a time.
320 PPM / 250 ml
1. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of Knox Gelatin onto a 250 ml beaker of distilled water. Allow the gelatin to "bloom" for a few minutes and then put in microwave for 1.5 minutes. When done, the gelatin should be fully dissolved and the water should be clear and colorless again.
2. Set beaker on hot plate stirrer and insert magnet in beaker. Set stir speed at lower to medium speed setting. Set temperature of plate at approximately two thirds of maximum. You want the water temperature to be just below boiling.
3. Add reducer at 10 drops. I use a 50/50 mix of 50% light Karo syrup and 50% vodka or 50 % gin to prevent mold growth in the reducer.
4. Add electrolyte (sodium carbonate solution) at 10 drops.
5. Place the silver anode in lid and attach red lead to it so it is very well introduced into the water but not touching the bottom of the beaker.
6. Set cathode (copper or silver) in lid at a depth that will produce about 15 volts on the built in volt gauge (approximately 1/4" penetration of the water surface).
7. Set SilverTron settings at 15 ma., 250 ml, 320 ppm and signal on.
8. Start the run and make sure the cathode is set to approximately 15 volts.
9. At 50% done, hit the pause run selection to fire clean anode and wipe cathode clean with a clean cloth.
10. Resume run for the remaining 50% duration.
11. The total production time should be roughly 90 minutes for the 250 ml/320 ppm batch.
12. Fire clean anode, wipe clean cathode, clean beaker with distilled water and make sure it is completely clean for next use.
13. If you want to dilute your 320 ppm to 20 ppm with distilled water, it will make approximately a gallon and will be a shade of amber at 20ppm. It is a bit darker than had you made a 20 ppm batch which is normally "baby shampoo yellow" because the gelatin has capped the AgNPs slightly darkening the batch. The gelatin is needed as a capping agent to prevent agglomeration and improve batch integrity and shelf life when making high PPM batches but not needed when making just 20 ppm batches. In that case the reducer acts as a mild capping agent.
This is what I do when making 320 ppm/250 ml. I hope it is what you were looking for.
