Sorry, I've been following earth clinic for a while now and thought the voting system would be more simple. I've tried a lot of the suggested remedies with success and would like to YEA them more simply. Maybe that would help make the site more user-friendly? There don't seem to be too many votes per remedy and it if there were a more simple method to just say YEA then maybe you'd have a lot more. Thanks

EC: Hi Nat,

Thank you for the great suggestion! We've considered doing this in the past, but thought it would be better if EC staff assigned a rating after reviewing the post. However, we will give it a try and see how it goes. Soon we'll update the site with a ratings drop-down box on our feedback form!

For those who aren't on our email list, we just published our most recent newsletter on the health benefits of Bitter Melon this morning.

hi I replied for the following post:

[YEA] 06/13/2011: Mike from Lakeville, Mn replies: "Infrequently I'll get food stuck in my throat. I can breathe fine but there is pain and I can't swallow anything - not even saliva. For the most part I've learned to avoid the triggers (i.e. Raw carrots) but I recently found out that if I down a few drops of cayenne tincture mixed with a little water the food immediately goes down. It appears that my mucus is thickening at the base of my throat (possibly due to food allergies?). Back in the day, I even had to go to the emergency room and have a endoscopy done to dislodge the food. Other times it would take me up to 30 minutes to get food down (or throw it up) but the Cayenne is a great quick fix for my issue. I'm assuming this is due to its ability to thin mucous. Hope to find the root cause at some point but this has really been a life saver in the meantime."

I, too, posted in the "submit feedback" category, not to a specific post, and was hoping it would show up on the "real-time posts" page so that others could reply. The subject was "question about digestive enzymes, " and posted it twice, thinking it had gotten lost.

Perhaps when posting in the "submit feedback" section, we should specify where we want the post to show up? It seems that the real-time posts page is a good place to get feedback from anyone familiar with the issue, not necessarily only those who are following a specific thread...

Thank you, Sue

EC: Hi Sue, we got both your posts. We are in process of creating a new page for Enzymes and will get the new page and your post up this afternoon or early evening!

Hi - is it possible to allow a direct path to EC links? When I perform a search, then click on the EC link I'd like to read I'm not directed to the actual post, I'm taken to the page then have a hard time locating the post I want to read because the "highlight search terms" isn't working for me. Is that something with my browser?

Thanks for all you do in maintaining this wonderful clearinghouse!

Linda

EC: Hi Linda, thank you for your feedback!

We've been testing the search box on multiple browsers and keywords that are entered into the search box do appear highlighted on various page. However, they appear in different colors for each word. It appears that Google may have changed the way they display highlighted keywords. We're looking into other solutions at the moment.

The EPA would go out of existence if the government brought the clean suppressed technology online. Pollution and environmental destruction are by design just like the EPA.

Solution: Plan to bring EPA into existence with hidden agenda to bring greater control of access to resources on earth.

Problem: Artificially create or allow a pollution and environmental destruction to occur.

Reaction: The powers that be wheel out the solution. population reacts to the problem and embraces the solution.

The elites paradigm to run this planet through out history has been - Problem, Reaction, Solution.

I find it very sad that so many people still live with the lies drummed into their head and they are not aware of it. People need to get their minds to think outside the box.

I think the reason earth clinic exists was to be one forces to counter the large scale war by governments against the health of the population. I think most people on here know that consciously or intuitively.

How people think that the government is actually fighting against environmental problemswhile it carries out a blatant war against the health of the population is a contradiction.

Environmental policies have hidden agendas to make the human condition worse. Where were all these forces when uneconomical nuclear power plants were built - helping create the problem. Now they are coming to the rescue - right!!!

Wake up folks!!!!

VOILA EC, you made my day again!! When I went to "Remedies" and clicked apple cider vinegar that page did not come up. Why is that? I just tried it again and it does not come up.

EC: Hi KT, the page you are seeking with ACV recipes is called: How to Drink Apple Cider Vinegar, not Apple Cider Vinegar. It's the 6th link down the list.

How do I get access to the full site and all of the commentaries on my cell phone. I've been using your site for many years and I know that there are more comments than post on the mobile app

EC: Hi Chiketa,

Thanks for the feedback. EC automatically redirects mobile users to its mobile site. However, if you click on the link "View Full Version" at the very bottom of any page on the mobile site, it will open up a new window with the desktop version. We'll try to make that more obvious on the mobile site.

Hi TimH, thank you so much for alerting us to problems you had while trying to post in the wee hours of the morning. All of your posts did, in fact, come through even though you received an error message. Our programmer just fixed the issue, but please let us know if you have any more problems!

Is there a way to get an e mail to someone without it getting on your site? I have been getting counseling from someone and would like to continue with discretion. Or is putting my e mail on your site a bad idea or not? Thank you.

EC: Hi Karen, we never advise people to add their primary email addresses to posts because of the spam issue from searching robots.? Most people prefer to keep communication on the Earth Clinic site for safety reasons as well. Some people do create secondary/temporary new email accounts (on Gmail, for example) and use them in posts. On occasion we have forwarded an email address when requested privately if we have an address on file for the recipient.

I understand having ads, but must they cover up people comments? Hard to read.

EC: Hi Sandy, thank you for your input. Ads only appear to cover up posts in older browser versions (for example, Internet Explorer 8). Online security experts say you are much safer with a newer version of Internet Explorer.

Are there any plans to launch an EarthClinic app for iPad?

EC: Hi Irwin,

We did look intently into the idea of an app for the Earth Clinic website. Unfortunately, app development requires constant updating just to keep up with the new technology. Since that work does very little to improve the user experience, we decided it was best to invest our limited time on the desktop and mobile sites as they are. We think this is the best way to help improve worldwide health.

App is not necessary? Just converting the EC to responsive website is suffice. Thanks

Is this site available in a phone app? Thanks.

EC: Hi Ana,

No, we don't have a phone app. However, people accessing Earth Clinic from mobile phones are automatically directed to our mobile site, which is a fast loading but smaller version of our desktop site.

I have no complaints really I just wished you could have your articles translated into many different languages I know someone who cant speak English who could benefit from this knowledge. Most people believe prescription is the way to go and I'm about holistic till it doesn't work so these people don't take me seriously because the articles from real reputable places don't have translation and it makes the doctors drugs look that much better because their minds cant comprehend that other things can work and sometimes doctors are wrong. I can't wait until I become a nurse so this doesn't happen.

Have any of you heard from Francisca who used to post from France, then Switzerland?

I haven't seen her post here for the longest time and I wondered if anyone has heard from her - perhaps via email?

I remember her posting that she was having surgery on her arm, so when she didn't post for months, I figured that she was avoiding typing as she recuperated. But it's been a long time since I've seen her name here.

I hope she is well. I miss her spirited contributions.

I wondered as well! She used to post nearly everyday. I wondered if it had to do with her surgery or if it was unrelated. I know that some people drop off and some just dont comment anymore, but are still around ( Joyce? Lisa?). A few years ago a dude named The Phoenix used to write everyday but then his posts disappeared completely (I've tried searching and nothing comes up). I never knew why. I know that I've been reading the latest posts nearly every day for 8 years now and recognize a lot of regulars even if I don't comment a lot myself. Anyone know (EC)?


Mobile Site Issues
Posted by Marta (Melbourne, Australia) on 06/30/2013

Hi, I frequently use the mobile app but most of the result links end up in a SQL error:
Invalid query: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND RatingText = 'YEA' AND ApprovalStatus=1 AND ShowLatest>1 GROUP BY FeedbackNa' at line 1

Hopefully your developer can fix this. Marta

EC: Hi Marta. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our programmer just fixed the problem.

And many thanks to Debbie who wrote in on Friday alerting us to a similar issue. We thought we had fixed it Friday evening but apparently not!

I am trying to access an article on vaccination side effects and it is displaying an error message. I really need to access it because I am experiencing some issues with my 13 week old kitten who just received the 4in1 initial vaccine and deworming. Now he seems to have conjunctivitis in his eye. I want to see it this is from bringing him to the local mobile vaccination clinic or something else.

EC: Hi Jessica, can you send us the error message please? Here is the link to over 340 posts on pet vaccination side effects: https://www.earthclinic.com/pets/vaccination_side_effects24.html#RF
