Re: Multiple Remedies Not Helping Post-Menopausal Weight Gain
4 days agoHas anyone come up with any other remedies to help lose weight for growing menopause? I am planning towards drug therapy. Zepbound I believe that it's how it's spelled. The weight gain is causing other issues in my health and think it is a version of Ozempic. I am getting desperate now and don't want to be fat out of shape and unhealthy.

4 days agoRe: Natural and Available Alternative To FMT
4 days agoTo further update this FMT thread, this new human trial (RCT) (April, 2024) suggests that FMT may be useful in positively altering disease progression of chronic kidney disease associated with diabetes and or hypertension as discussed here :
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/8/1109
Here is a relevant quote from the randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial (RCT):
' Regardless of CKD stages, patients responded similarly to FMT treatment. More patients (53.8%) from the placebo group progressed to CKD than the FMT group (13.3%). The FMT group maintained stable renal function parameters (serum creatinine and urea nitrogen) compared to the placebo group. Adverse events after FMT treatment were mild or moderate gastrointestinal symptoms. The abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria decreased whereas Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Roseburia spp. increased in the FMT group. CKD patients showed less disease progression after FMT administration. The administration of oral FMT in patients with CKD is a safe strategy, does not represent a risk, and has potential benefits. '
This study shows that FMT significantly reduces CKD progression that is associated with hypertension and or diabetes, when compared to the placebo group.

5 days agoRe: DHEA
5 days agoHi. Happened across your DHEA post. Wanted to suggest that you check out taking Garcinia Cambogia for mood. It raises seroton in the brain like an SSRI. Another thought is relora and/or ashwagandha. But that garcinia cambogia really seems to be a mood helper, and it might soothe any temper issues. :)
Anyone already on an anti-depressant shouldn't take garcinia cambosia without first talking with a pharmacist or MD about it.

Re: Multiple Remedies Not Helping Scabies
5 days agoI hope the urine works. I agree with Marie to try leaving it on & not using soap to wash it off. I would even go further to suggest not putting anything else on your skin for at least a week. No moisturiser, no deodorant, etc. instead use only urine & water on your body. If you have to wash your hands use either vinegar, bicarb/baking soda as the alternative to soap. Our skin absorbs water more easily than it does oils. Oils can be clogging & cause itching. So for the urine to work the skin must be clear of topical oils.
Are you taking any medications, or supplements, if so which ones?
Have you been putting anything on your skin, if so, what products?
Does the itching appear in a persistent particular area, for example the back?
Does the itching almost feel like its bone deep?
Other than the itching & stinging, do you have any other symptoms?

5 days agoRe: Garlic for Tooth Abscess Relief
5 days agoTake 4 cloves internally, crushed. To prevent a burning sensation in the stomach, coat in butter or extra virgin olive oil or honey prior to swallowing & take with food. Also drink lots of water.
Garlic thins the blood, so if your not taking any blood thinners, you can take a few more cloves.
Raw Garlic is the most powerful natural antibiotic, antimicrobial, antiviral & anti-inflammatory agent. It can be used to treat a fever too. Because it's heat sensitive, it loses these medicinal qualities if 'warmed' or cooked.
It can be applied directly onto the sore gum/tooth, also.
The spice, clove, in powder form, can be placed in the problem area to help numb any pain. It's also available as an 'essential' oil which means it's pure.
You can also apply Himalayan pink salt or any other natural salt, directly onto the area of discomfort. It acts as a mild pain reliever. Salt can also be used as a mouthwash and/or toothpaste.
Lyle from another post mentioned oregano oil.
Hope you get some relief soon!

6 days agoI have found for receding gums or mouth infection mix 6 drops of Oregano to 1/2 capful of coconut oil. Soak it up in a cotton ball and put between cheek and gum line. Or where one might have an infection. It does wonders. A plus side effect is it treats sore throat and any type of bad breath.

6 days agoDon't know if u'll see this- urs is an old post. Possible reason for your reactions: If you used Borax from the grocery store, it could have contaminants/dirt because it's not food grade. Because it's sold as a laundry booster, sanitary conditions aren't very scrutinized. You could try a food grade brand like: Https://pforlife.com/borax-pure-usp-nf-sodium-borate-10-mol-mineral-powder.html Good luck!! God Bless! PB

6 days agoRe: Address Dehydration for Allergies/ Aching Joints
6 days agoHello,
There is no magic number that can be said. as an example, my wife drinks 6-8 glasses a day while I drink 2-3. You drink what you feel. Just remember that if you drink dehydrating drinks, you are taking out what you put in. Monitor what you drink that is dehydrating, and as a general rule drink 1 glass of water for 1 cup of coffee just to break even. Also look into your diet. Some foods require more water internally to aid in digestion than others. Also look at physical exertions. Do you ride bikes, exercise, or walk a lot? Do you currently have any medical conditions? And medications? These are all factors to consider. But, if you feel thirsty, drink water. You can never really go wrong drinking water as long as you don't overdo it.
As for allergies, even seasonal allergies, we found in research and personal experience that they are very dependent on diet. Every year in the fall for 2-3 weeks I would get a bit phlemy and a bit itchy here in Northern Europe. Looked into my diet, made a change, and the past 2 years has been non existent. Also for joint pain, tremendous amount of research has indicted that joint pain unrelated to injury, can be helped/cured/fixed via exercise. Mild to moderate exercise alleviates most non-injury related or condition specific joint pain. Adding natural anti inflammation ingredients like Turmeric, Cinnamon, Ginger help wonderfully.
I may have over answered this post as I noticed just now you were simply asking about water consumption! And that the allergy, joint was just the thread you were on! Lol, my bad! But maybe someone will benefit from thsi long winded answer to a simple question!
Re: Multiple Remedies Not Helping Scabies
6 days agoTebora, my apologies. I was in a hurry to post my reply and forgot to include the medication. It is called ivermectin. JT found a case where a woman had a severe scabies infection where even the gum tissue in her mouth had scabies. She was treated with 100 mg of ivermectin three times per day, over the course of 15 days. There were no reported side effects and the scabies were eliminated. However, you may want to try just 100 mg 1 time per day for 15 days. If that doesn't work, then you can take a break and then try taking the higher amount of ivermectin daily for 15 days. Here is a link to the article:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33258442/
Earthclinic has an entire section for scabies. Use the desktop mode for your browser so you can read all of the posts in that section. There are lots of good ideas for what you can try. Wishing you success!

6 days agoApple Cider Vinegar Use On Skin Cancer
Hello! I have been using ACV on a suspected skin cancer now for several days. The spot (about the size of a half dollar) is turning red and starting to scab. The scabbing is black in a few parts, but most yellow. And it is throbbing when I soak it with the ACV. I have done several soaks per day, and have also hit it with Hydrogen Peroxide at night, followed by some Aloe.
For those than have used ACV, what kinds of scabs formed? And was their throbbing during use? It is painful, but not overbearing. I am curious what kind of progressing I should / can expect. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
