Bladder Pain
Body Odor

The happy miracle, on ONLY day 2 of this remedy, protocol my underarm body oder stopped completely!! (I had to apply deoderant sometimes 2x a day until that time, and the deoderant always failed me!)
I still sweat, though much less, the thing is, my underarm sweat just doesn't have a scent any longer, in fact it smells a little bit sweet and gentle, like smelling a baby! Remember how naturally sweet new babies smell everyday!
I am unsure how this happened, I only know I call it a miracle and feel most grateful and appreciative!
I hope this gives some inspiration to somebody else to give this remedy and 'try'!
Recipe:
- 2 tsps ACV per L. H20
- 1/2 tsp baking soda per same above
- pinch of borax per same above
And, on days when I wake up and my sinuses are congested at all, I add cayenne pepper to my drink in the 1 L. of H20, and that amount is about ~1/8 tsp. It makes the drink spicy and it works quite well!
Peace,
Ronda

I know this is an old post, but I find the fact that your armpits have a sweet smell to them very interesting and wanted to add my experience for the readers.
I too had sweet smelling armpits for a time, and that was after not using soap or deodorant for about two years. I was also vegan (fruits & vegetables is how you get your boron naturally) and only wore cotton.
This super power of mine went away when I went to live with my grandpa. His house was full of black mold and mildew (borax is a powerful anti-fungal), we ate only white bread and meat, and I occasional used his head & shoulders shampoo on my armpits and other essential areas as "insurance" (which apparently removes the skin's protective acid mantle, so it probably did more harm than good). And I later found out that some of my new cotton shirts weren't 100% cotton.
It also took about 2 years of living at my grandpa's for this change to happen.
I noticed that my armpits started to get a very mild sour milk smell to them. Then it went from that to BO, to really, really bad BO.
Using soap and deodorant (I went as natural as I could) seemed to fix it for the most part, but if I really dug my finger into my armpit, it would still have a slight BO smell to it.
After moving to my parent's clean and new apartment and going back to using soap and deodorization, I thought I had it under control. But running late for a Christmas party I forgot to put on deodorant (mom was yelling at me) and decided to wear a nice polyester shirt my dad got me, I smelled later that day, especially after sweating outside. It wasn't a BO smell, but it was funky and people noticed.
Anyway, after that I feel like I finally killed off that bacteria or fungus from my grandpa's after putting rubbing alcohol on my armpits a few times. The first application and that sour smell got really, really strong. Then with the second application there was no smell at all, besides the rubbing alcohol.
(If you have eczema caused by bacteria, rubbing alcohol is also very good in treating it. Just make sure to moisturize after as it is very drying.)
Today, if I now dig my finger in there, I don't get that sour smell or BO anymore, but it is a still muggy smell.
I'm starting to think maybe I got an internal mildew or mold infection at my grandpa's that eventually colonized my skin and armpits (FYI, skin probiotics are often pills you swallow cause that bacteria works its way from your anus to the rest of your skin) as I also had restroom problems while living there (those have also gotten better on their own).
So maybe it was the boron in my vegan diet that caused my sweet smelling armpits.
Whatever it was, I'm excited to start using a little borax to get things back to how it was, maybe some baking soda too.
If I can get that sweet smell again, I'll be very happy.
â
For those of you wondering how I showered back in the day, I basically just used water and the friction of my hand. Just make sure you get all the essentials and plenty of friction.
I read that the Peace Pilgrim also didn't use soap.
And some people here on Earth Clinic can also testify to the power of not using soap when it comes to body odor:

You can not get enough Boron in your diet just eating fruits and vegetables today. That has not been true since man started dumping huge amounts of fertilizer on crops, not rotating crops and not allowing fields to lay fallow every 7 years. Then add in the herbicides and pesticides and no way is it possible. A long time ago like a decade ago, I looked into this so if I get the numbers wrong I apologize. If I recall properly prior to artificial fertilizer the amount of Boron in most produce today is 1/30th of what was in the 1950's and previous. Even looking at the amounts in fruits and vegetables and their leaves from 1973 to today looks like the steepest slide you have ever seen for children! So unless you have 3 stomachs and are eating wild grasses and flowers in unmolested pastures I doubt you can eat enough Vegan approved food and get your Boron needs met. I suppose if you are looking at the insanely low amounts recommended by 1st world nations you might be able to meet it, That said those standards are so low as to keep your teeth from falling out and your bones from bending they are not what is needed for optimal health! It goes without saying that diet will change how you smell to anyone not eating the same diet. The Vietnamese could smell our soldiers mostly because of the dairy that they ate. If you are in a culture that does not eat dairy it is an obvious smell. I could smell Koreans a mile away especially when sweating because of all the garlic, onions and fermented products in all the Kimchee they ate daily. Guys that were eating a lot of protein powder and meat to gain size at the gym their sweat smelled like ammonia! Do not subscribe to a diet until you have tried it and benefited from it or been harmed by it. I have tried many different diets and some of the ones that should have been healthy produced terrible outcomes. Eating vegan is hell on earth for me. Eating a diet high in plant foods that still includes meat, cheese and dairy is fantastic. Just eating meat is almost as bad as Vegan!

After less than one week of taking this solution, my armpit odor is about 50% gone. I still sweat excessively from hot flashes, but the smell is no longer offensive. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Trang,
When I was young (I'm 70 now) and going through hot flashes, a kind neighbor told me to try black cohosh, I got some capsules at the store and took one each morning... I never suffered hot flashes or night sweats again. I hope this works well for you as it did for me.

Sometimes, Trang, we women have to reach out to 'estrogen'.
I was one of those and hated taking it, but I got my life back!
Good luck
Hi Trang, I just read your comment on hot flashes and Christines too. I am 8 years post menopausal and find I get hot flashes from food intolerances. Polyphenols really make me flush but I also have histamine issues which also cause flushing. Coffee is a huge trigger for flushes because of the polyphenols in it too. One of the things that helped me was something really simple, pepitas. These are shelled pumpkin seeds. Eating a handful or two of these helped me and quite a few other women I told about it. I think its the vitamin E in them that help. You can pick them up in supermarkets so it's also convenient.
As far as using Estrogen Christine, there are some better options than HRT which I know some people might turn to out of desperation. Estriol cream is the only estrogen that isn't cancer forming. There are 3 types of estrogen and this one is the safest and actually works against cancers. Being a cream that's absorbed transdermally is also convenient. I only use it twice a week now and buy mine from Biovea.

Hello Trang, With regards to successfully treating stubborn "hot flashes", in my experience, the hot flashes surprisingly disappeared after treating various chronic infections (e.g., Lyme, Babesia - called "North American Malaria", chronic bacterial/fungal/parasitic infections and their toxins, etc...). Hence, in my case, my "hot flashes" only resolved when the actual cause(s) was identified and treated. Fortunately, I learned about various infections/diseases being a cause for "hot flashes" and similar symptoms at a medical conference about "Chronic Vector Borne Infectious Diseases" in Scottsdale, Arizona. Afterwards, a well known "Vector Borne Chronic Disease Specialist" treated me for various infections and the "hot flashes" disappeared, never to return, and I am definitely now of menopausal age. I had "hot flashes" for ~ 4 years during my thirties. Initially, the first three specialists I saw about the hot flashes diagnosed the condition as "a very severe and unusual form of super early menopause, " idiopathic of course. Seriously???? I then asked them if they knew the differences in symptoms between, lets say, malaria or babesia versus menopause or, if they knew what the term "ague" meant .... they all said "no." ..... OK, time to move on. In the meantime, finding herbal solutions to address "menopausal symptoms" is obviously helpful. Though, finding an herbal solution (or other remedy) to address the cause(s) for the "hot flash" symptom can be the ideal route to finding an actual solution that will work for you. There are many different infections that can cause mild to severe hormonal dysfunction or "sepsis-like" symptoms in which cyclic fevers and/or chills, cyclic sweatings, night sweats, fevers and heart palpitations are common and often misdiagnosed as menopausal or pre-menopausal "hot flashes" or symptoms. This is probably why some older women (and younger women, today) have hot flashes and many others do not. Histamine issues, food allergies, various triggers and the like can all be caused by parasitic infections, bacterial/mold/fungal infections, etc. Chronic parasitic infections are well known for causing all sorts of food allergies which can "trigger" hot flashes. Many of the remedies that alleviate "hot flashes" are very helpful because they address some "part" or symptom of the actual cause which is most often an "infection(s)." Many of the hot flash or menopause remedies have broad spectrum or potent antimicrobial (anti viral/bacterial/fungal), anti-inflammatory, hormone-regulating and anti-parasitic activities. For example, BLACK COHOSH was called by many other names which indicated its use for other health issues: Bugbane (flowers repel &/or kill insects), Baneberry, Black Snakeroot, Bug Root, Black Bugbane, Rattleweed, Rattle-Top, Rheumatism Weed, Macrotys, Snakeroot, Bugwort, Squawroot, Shengma (China), Cimicfuga (Latin for "bug repellent") and Fairy Candles. Some studies have identified black cohosh as having Anti-HIV activity, hypocholesterimic activity, anti-cancer activity and antimicrobial activity (see a few references attached below). Prior to the common use for menopause symptoms, Black Cohosh root was historically used by the Chinese and the Native Americans to treat a large variety of diseases, disorders and symptoms: * Liver disorders (which can cause a "back up" of toxic estrogens which can cause "hot flashes", * Gynecological conditions - PCOS, period cramps, child birth pain, uterine disorders (such as fibroids which can be due to high levels of toxic estrogens) * MALARIA, fever, night sweats (a classic malaria symptom) * Tinnitus * Heart palpitations * Snake/insect bites, used as an antidote or treatment for rattlesnake or snake bites by North American Indians * PAIN & INFLAMMATION (potent analgesic) - musculoskeletal & joint pain * Acute rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis * Multiple hormonal conditions * Improves insulin regulation * Nervous system disorders (nervous spasms and related pain, nervousness, irritability, hysteria, insomnia, etc.) * Tonify the kidney; used to treat kidney ailments & improve kidney function * Improve bronchial function, used to treat bronchitis and inflamed lungs Smallpox * Lower blood pressure * Strengthen the immune system * Chorea - abnormal involuntary movement disorder * Dropsy - edema * Yellow Fever * Osteoporosis IT WAS CONSIDERED A "NATURAL CURE-ALL, " a versatile healer. Black Cohosh is frequently used with Chastetree and Dong Quai or, with Red Clover, St. John's Wort, Sage or Ginseng to treat menopausal symptoms. All of these herbs also have impressive "antimicrobial" uses including some with anti-parasitic actions. Wishing you the best, Sherri * Sakurai N, Wu JH, Sashida Y, et al. Anti-AIDS Agents.

Borax and Baking Soda Protocol
For health maintenance, can you take this forever to do a daily detox from fluoride?
(Philippines)
05/23/2018
You can certainly take a lower dose of borax per day if you wish. But please remember that borax has the same MSDS toxicity profile as common table salt -- so its pretty safe. You must also be sure to take the borax protocol (1/8 tspn in a liter of water per day for women) on a 4-days-on-3-days-off protocol. The reason for doing this is that borax does increase production the sex hormones somewhat. So the days off are needed to help avoid over-stressing sex hormone production.
The protocol that is properly recommended by Ted from Bangkok is shown here:

Hi Odelia...I forgot to answer all your question, with apologies.
To put your mind more at ease with the Borax and Sodium Bicarbonate protocols, I've used both these protocols on their own and mixed together (as Ted from Bangkok recommends) with no problems whatsoever. I've also been using both these protocols regularly since 2007 and I continue to use them now. I regard both these protocols as primary disease preventatives and necessary for health. I'm now aged 68 and there is nothing wrong with me - my heart is good, I have no disease and I haven't been to the doctor for any illness since 1990.
Borax and Baking Soda Tips
★★★★★
Energy
★★★★★
I find that my skin seems a little sensitive to borax. I did use it with baking soda to wash my hair. I hate using shampoo and have been using baking soda for a couple of years. Mixing borax in with it seemed to make my hair feel really clean and fresh. No more flaking. I think shampoo makes my scalp flake and it is really hard to rinse out of my very thick very long hair.
I put all kinds of oils in my hair my it never looks greasy. I routinely use olive, sesame, coconut oils and, cedar, lavender, eucalyptis ect...essential oil. I work out side in my yard a lot I find essential oil in my hair neck and wrist helps repel insects. I hear insects don't do too well around borax either. Now that gardening season is ramping up a bit washing my hair with borax may be of help.
I made a mix of 1/8 tsp each of borax and baking soda in one gallon of water I brush my teeth with it along with H2O2 spray on my tooth brush. I might try it in my water pick as well. This really makes my teeth and gums feel much stronger. My breath stays fresher longer than using tooth paste.
I drink a small amount of my gallon mix a few times per week. I am a small person and also I am very sensitive to any kind of change in my system. So I make my mixture much more dilute than the recommended recipe. I drink one small juice glass in morning only. I do feel more energy the first time I took it was at night and I did not want to sleep. I drank some in the morning next day and was up and about all day even though it was chilly outside.
I do believe I have had a few detox symptoms not bad ones (another reason I take a small amount). I don't want to have a major blow out. I know I have not been eating right this winter so I know I have some build up of toxic stuff in my body. I have spent a good portion of my 65 years focused on staying in good health on all levels and I know I am much more aware of my body than most people are today. I can't believe how people turn their health over to the medical industrial complex. IMO their only saving grace is their ability to treat trauma cases. At any rate I am glad to see others taking charge of their own health. What you spend on your good health is less than half what you would spend on your bad health. Keep that in mind the next time you think about your body. Get to know your body it is your friend. Thanks for reading this.

Hi Laurie,
I have similar problems and I am at wits end with the pain and the constant peeing. I have just recently seen this protocol but there was no mention of how much water to use or when to take it. I have tried so many things and nothing seems to work. Could you enlighten me please on the amount of water used and when to take it. I am assuming morning, but before breakfast or after? I drink lemon water before I eat - could I put the borax etc in that do you think? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tina. If you mix them in a box together when you take the tsp of it you really don't know if you mixed it well or if you are getting more of one than the other .

Hi Adrienne (New Zealand) and Nikola (Zadar) -
A. Jackson (North Dakota/Singapore) wrote that on 09/11/2017 so may not respond.
However, my interpretation of that post is just take equal amounts (by weight - it's more accurate) of borax and baking soda.
For instance, use a kitchen scale and measure out 100 g of borax and then 100 g of baking soda (or whatever amount you want to use - just make sure it is an equal amount).
Mix the two thoroughly. Best way to do this is put both in a container with a lid and give it a good shake.
A. Jackson then took 1 teaspoon of this mixture and added it to 1 quart of green tea and drank it daily for three months and then stopped for one month. Jackson said it was a 3 months on and 1 month off rotation.
I think this is what he was trying to convey. Jackson certainly had an outstanding result.
Cheers, Tessa

Google Translate from Croatian:
For all the praise, but I don't see that you gave an answer to the amount and manner of the mixture you worked with?
The basic instructions are: 1/2 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon borax + 1 quart green tea [or water if must avoid caffeine]. Drink this mixed together, each day for 3 months, then stop taking it for a month, then, repeat the sequence if you want.
Ringworm

I would like to say holy crap!

It stung a little but the next morning it was not infected anymore
Thank you, natural remedies.

I take baking soda and borax as well in the hope of helping my joints. I also have my Dad and Mom doing it as well. I do have question though. What had you tried before this? You hear all kinds of testimonials but without knowing what you tried that failed prior it is hard to gauge how effective it was. If you did not try a more conventional treatment that failed prior to this then the fact that it worked for you could me close to placebo if you know what I mean. It is not specific to you either almost no one on this site ever mentions what they tried before that failed to bring either relief, cure or improvement.
An example if someone said " I tried medically supervised physical therapy, ultra sound, Electro-stim, NSAID's and Vicodin for my knee pain and nothing helped until I tried Baking Soda and Borax! " that would be crazy incredible. On the other hand if all they tried before was taking a few over the counter Tylenol with no effect well the testimonial about how great the unconventional natural treatment worked suddenly has a lot less weight.
Same thing for ringworm if no conventional pharmaceutical was tried then well you really can not compare the natural treatment with any kind of weight behind it. For the record I have tried all of those things and have had surgery on my right knee and ankle.
I am trying to put off any more serious surgeries especially knee replacement surgery! So again not just about your post but 99% of the post's here. Some history would be nice is all! Cheer's! -John
(USA)
05/31/2021
Yes, having some history of what people did beforehand may be nice, however, that isn't what this site is about.
Most people coming here have already tried the "supervised medical treatments" before natural treatments.
That's why we've turned to what's natural instead of pharmakeia, which literally means sorcery, or witchcraft.
The whole point of pharmaceuticals and drugs in general is to make you dependant on them - whereas on the other hand, the point of natural medicine is to make you non-reliant on it.
Pharmaceuticals are designed to treat symptoms, not heal.
So gauging natural medicine against pharmaceuticals is really nonsense.
(USA)
03/11/2022
I would also add, that most pharmaceuticals have side effects; some serious. And pain killers don't fix the problem... It seems to me that fixing the problem is what is most desired so we don't have to go through life dependent on taking drugs in order to function somewhat. Also, if the recommended solution is a joint replacement, who wants that if there is a way to help the joint. I went through two hip replacements. It was terribly difficult. If I had known of this protocol back then I would have jumped on it right away. Now I am faced with cartilage loss in both knees, so am definitely going to try this remedy and pray that it keeps me strong. I will repost results in a few months.

Our stem cell DR in Minnesota, who is also a sports medicine MD, has done hip replacement, cervical fusion and maintains a previous lower back fusion above and below the site for me. He has treated my husbands sciatica with PRP and restored both rotator cuffs with adipose and vascular stem cells and PRP, using only our blood and marrow(when needed)for injections. There is still plenty of cartilage in your joints to restore them. Borax has been used to treat arthritis for years and sodium bicarbonate will help keep your body more alkaline.

Sinus Infection, Energy

Today, drinking another batch - 1/4 teaspoon from my ziplock bag in a liter of water. I drank about 1/2 cup from my bottle first thing this morning on an empty stomach and now I'm sipping it throughout the day. Felt slightly nauseous for about 10 minutes drinking it on an empty stomach, so I won't do that tomorrow morning!
Will let you all know if there are any side effects and how it goes.
(Philippines)
09/13/2017
Hi Deirdre...All I can say is snap!! I've also had a similar sinus problem over the last few weeks due to aircon. As you know, I've recently moved house to the provinces of Cebu. I've moved into a studio apartment in a small town that has a very old aircon which hasn't been cleaned in a donkey's age. This problem was in just one nasal passage only. It felt like it was becoming infected. My nose was very sore on one side and this was also affecting my vision. It was also affecting my sleep.
I developed nasal soreness externally and internally due, particularly, to the excessive drying effect of the aircon on the air in the apartment. My nose is very sensitive to this. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of my rather large stores of herbs, remedies etc before I moved(including my beloved borax). What I did was to just buy some 3% hydrogen peroxide from the local pharmacy and use a dropper to squirt the hydrogen peroxide (at 1.5%) up the nasal passage that had the problem. I've done this twice a day for two days and I'm happy to report that the soreness has greatly reduced and is hardly noticeable now. My vision and sleep are now also much improved.
Several years ago several people died in a major outbreak of Legionnaire's Disease (a type of pneumonia) in the UK. The cause of the infection was tracked to the large aircons that are used for tall buildings. The heat produced within these aircon units was the perfect breeding ground pathogen's like the Legionella bacteria.
To avoid this problem occurring again(it's happened before with me) I am going to get the aircon cleaned ASP. I will also be giving special instructions to the person cleaning the aircon -- I will formulate a mix consisting of hydrogen peroxide mixed with sodium bicarbonate and get the aircon man to wash the aircon down with this mix in order to kill all fungus and all other pathogens inside the aircon. I will also wash the aircon air filter in this mix. Doing this should prevent harmful fungal spores/bacteria from being picked up by the aircon and sprayed into our apartment.
Later, due to my nose sensitivity to dry air, I might also buy a humidifier to run at the same time as my aircon to help preserve the moisture in the air when I sleep.

Hi Bill,
Sorry, I was out of town last week and didn't get a chance to respond to your post. Thank you for the tips. I am very glad your sinus issues and vision improved with peroxide! I haven't ever tried a 1.5% peroxide squirt for sinus issues. I usually do 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon of 3% peroxide in a neti pot.
Yep, I was also thinking of Legionnaire's Disease when I was cleaning up the black water on my carpet from the a/c unit! I pulled up about 1/2 gallon of black water from the carpet using my carpet cleaner. I will have the a/c unit cleaned asap or see if I can do it myself. It's one of those large portable units on wheels. I still wake up with a minor sinus reaction even though I have not been running the a/c unit for days now. I did spray down the carpet and bed cover with the borax and peroxide solution that Art from CA mentioned recently. Thankfully, the peroxide did not lighten my light gray carpet, at least not that I can see. But I only misted the surface.
On the subject of the borax and peroxide remedy - yesterday was day 5. I'm going to take a break for two days as Ted always recommended. I added it to a 1 liter thermos of hot Matcha green tea. Tastes great!
Tip: Matcha powder is expensive, but I found Matcha powder in the superfoods section at Sprouts that was very reasonably priced for the quantity you get.

You can put borax in your sinus wash. It is gentle enough to cure pink eye and I've been using it in my sinus spray for months and it's healed an ongoing sinus issue I have had for years. Borax Rules!

Thanks for the tip on using Borax to cure eye infections and sinus problems! I didn't realize Borax could be used this way!
Thanks for the information on using it in the sinuses. I have been looking for information on this as I have had a severe fungal infection after taking Ivermectin, which incidentally works against Staph (fungus) but the ulceration was so bad nothing was working to clear it until I gargled with Borax yesterday. I started spraying it up my nose with bicarb, a quarter tsp of each in 25mls water and all the ulceration is almost gone. I have been taking smaller doses of bicarb and borax for years but will increase my dosage now and drink through the day to see if I can wipe this Staph infection out of my lungs altogether. I have this from prolonged mould exposure that caused severe fibromyalgia and put me on disability. I have acute sulfur intolerance that gives me respiratory distress too and I'm sure it's all related to this so am eager to see if the borax and bicarb remedy will change this as I've had to cut so many foods out.
