Just wanted to let you know that there seems a misdirected link.. I assume it is that way on all pages.. The google search box located at the top of the screen.. whether you check web or earth clinic it all searches google web. :-( Not sure but I think its a google issue... but you may be able to fix it, i just thought you should know.
EC: Hi Andrea,
Thanks for letting us know. We have tested the search on multiple browsers and don't have the same issue. It brings up Earth Clinic pages each time.
Can you let us know what browser and version you are using? If it's an older browser, this may be the issue. Earth Clinic works best in current browsers like Internet Explorer 8. You might also try clearing your history and cache and seeing if this corrects the issue.
I just saw your post and thought I should interject some very valuable info in regards to autism. There are some amazing people doing work to turn it around through diet. Donna Gates is a strong force in this movement and you can see her book, The Body Ecology Diet or go on her website. There is a lot of info and it is unbelievable what she has achieved. She offers solid, hands-on advice with very specific instructions in how to turn things around. If you go there you will see that she is about to launch a free teleseminar devoted to parents of autistic children in which they themselves will also talk about what they are doing and their stories of recovery. You have to pre-register for it to access it but it is free and once you register you will continue to have access to it to listen to over again. I just did this with her Spring Cleansing seminar and have listened to it twice now.
She has also created the Bedrok Community devoted to families who deal with autism that you might want to check out. There are stories of recovery, lots of support, diet suggestions and recipes, workshops, etc. You can go to bedrokcommunity.org and see all this info.
I have only recently discovered her work and have learned so much and have such respect for all she has done to help people recover their lives. I hope this helps you.
Wishing you the best on your journey,
Lisa

EC: Hi Rondamommie ,
Always check the Q&A section for Ted's remedies. The link to the Q&A is located at the top of the table of contents menu on most pages.
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~andyd17/Plant-ID_KidneyWeed.htm
EC: Thanks, Zander! Your response has been posted beneath Joyce's bio here: https://www.earthclinic.com/about.html
To all: Zander is replying to this part in Joyce's bio:
One more... I can remember another illness when my paternal grandmother came to the rescue. My older sister told me that when I was about 3 and shortly after my next younger brother was born, my mother came down with kidney problems (probably her first severe bout with pyelonephritis which eventially killed her when I was 29 years old). She said Mama was so sick and her circulation would kick out and she would start turning blue. She and Dad would get on opposite sides of her and walk her to try to get her circulation going again. My grandmother went out and returned with something she called kidney weed and brewed up the tea for my mother. Although I asked my mother many times if she could show me the weed she used and as many times as we walked through the woods together, she was never able to identify the plant and never knew it called anything but "kidney weed". My mother said it was vinelike, but stayed close to the ground, had leaves about the size and shape of a mouse ear on opposite sides of the stem, and liked to grown close to springs. Maybe some reader of EC can tell me the common or proper name of this elusive kidney weed."

Thanks for the feedback. We can ban ads only when we have the url of the ad (e.g. www.bad-ad.com). Please let me know which pages you see the irritating ads and the url, if possible. Also, are they Chitika ads or Google ads?
No ads should be "popping up" however, in the middle of posts anywhere on the site. The ads are all located in the same place on every page, either at the very top or the very bottom. Anyone else seeing pop up ads in the middle of a page?
Thanks for your help!

I see that the little popups have been added, that is great.
Here is another feedback related to the preview feature.
When I go to "Give Feedback" and I preview my post, it seems to loose the "Subject of your Email" text. This does not happen however when I reply to a post because the Subject field is frozen.
Thanks again

EC: Thanks, Alain!
The subject for new posts is now visible on the preview pop up. Please note, however, that the subject box is a temporary field as new posts are typically re-titled for the table of contents during the approval process!

I noticed that, once in the preview, both the edit and submit links returns back to the original submit form.
I realize now that the preview is not a new window but an addition to the submit form. So the edit and submit links navigate to either sections from the same page. The submit link does not perform the form submission, it therefore might confuse some in the beginning.
My only suggestion than is could there be just a little popup info that might say for example when the cursor is over edit "brings you to the edit box" and "brings you to the submit button" when the cursor is over the submit link?
The preview section is good and already saved me some typos.
Thanks

Greetings from Ottawa.
While testing the preview feature I have another question.
It seems that my userid and password are not kept so each time I want to logon I have to put them manually. I don't know if it is the normal behavior, or not. In the case that they should be kept in memory somehow (by a cookie?) I am using Firefox 2 on a Windows 2000 system.
The preview feature works perfect and is great!.
Thanks a lot!
Alain
EC: Hi Alain,
The site uses sessions to save login information. The only "problem" with that is that once you navigate away from EC you need to login again. We realize its annoying for people who come back to the site a few times a day and have to log back in, but sessions are more secure than cookies, according to one of my programmers.

The conflicting information; I only meant not to try things until one either understands them or do more research elsewhere. Some of these remedies could be harmful (ex. food grade H2O2) if one doesn't fully understand what it can do and the harm of using full strength, things could be disastrous. Knowlege is power, the more we have the better we are to make decisions for ourselves. It doesn't help when people have money and spread bad things about something that does more good than harm. But with their money and twisting can make it look so bad. Coconut oil is an example of that. Pre WWII (I think...i'm no history buff) CO was used quite a bit in America in baked goods in grocery stores and such. A little bad media and it disappeared as a staple.
Ok, in my quick reply I mistook "deflated balloon" (Anon's words) and said a "bubble". I appologize. To me I guess it meant the same thing. The entire last paragraph was meant to build Anon back up from this confusion/end of the rope feeling--reflate your balloon--give confidence to her that through these confusions she will figure out/find her path again.
I see your point completely with the confusion of conflicting information. It was this that prompted me to suggest research and watch the information sources. I personally don't read newspapers/watch the news. If they advertise for drug companies they are unlikely to publish anything other than supportive information about them/using their products (something like that). Take each piece with a grain of salt until you truely feel you believe in it. If you don't believe in it/understand it discard it or file it away for later. I also take this a step further and consider cost and ask was this around say 200 years ago or is it commericially/chemically engineered. If it is not natural I try not to take/use it or use in moderation, course we all love junk food, least I know I love every bit of it. But even with that it is only a few times a month I indulge. I have VCO and ACV which I think covers just about any detox a body might need (i could be wrong...but these two surely won't hurt). I am in no way an expert (in anything). I have only been an almost daily reader of EC for 6 months. Those 6 months have changed my life forever! Thank you EC and everyone who contributes. This is the coolest thing and so much better than learning this stuff from book, I get to read peoples experiences, good and bad and we help each other (free of charge at that). It is like its own community/village (almost like family) where we are all helping each other to better our quality of life, in essence becoming our own dr.s and taking charge/control of our own health.
Again, I appologize if my words sounded harsh/didn't come across as I intended. That was definitly not my intent. Peace to everyone!
May God Bless!

I've been on this website for about 8 months and I always find your postings to be informative and without a personal agenda. Interestingly, I am going to a lecture by Brian Clement tomorrow night. I, too, find him fascinating.

1) Please correct Ted's error there [under ACV & BS remedies] in which he says "250 mg," but means 250 ml.
2) Also, it would be good to add to the Guidelines a compilation of general facts about getting EC cures to work if at first they do not seem to.
For example, I have read the following types of cases:
A: the cure did not seem to work until it was tried for a longer time than was posted - but then it did kick in. Principle: be sure to try a remedy long enough, sometimes longer than is recommended or typical.
B: a cure was said not to have worked because the person's liver was in too bad a shape --- so, Principle: make sure your liver - or clogged colon or whatever - is fit enough to process the cure. Might need to address that issue first before using a remedy.
C: a cure was reported not to work (it happened to be with the usual ACV amount) until the poster happily reported she upped the amount of the remedy. So, Principle: is to (cautiously)use more than recommended in some instances.
Thanks very, very much for your work & concern for others as displayed by this site.
Judy
EC: Thanks for the great suggestions, Judy!
Ted's error has been fixed. The rest of your post will be added to our guidelines page as WISE ADVICE FROM OUR READERS!

You pose a few examples of contradiction and very quickly, I could answer them for myself. No to aspirin- that would be simple! I don't care if Oz is a dr. or not, I don't want aspirin on a daily basis in my body toxifying my organs. On the other hand, if one feels that they really need it for some pain, by all means... As for soy, I don't think it's a good idea after all the research I've done and articles I've read. It was a push on the public done by that industry- another one of those schemes such as the meat industry, the dairy industry, etc. Each has their self-interests so YOU must have your own self-interest. On the other hand, once in awhile I eat tofu but just not soy products in general.
Also do outside research from this site. I'm always learning- love to learn and find so much fascinating!I'm a pretty confident person so I don't second guess myself. I go through information and then I come to a conclusion. Perhaps a little further down the line, new information comes in. Then, I may re-acess and adjust.
In past posts I've mentioned amazing people in the healing field who have so much incredible information to offer.
A fascinating man, Dr. Brian Clement who is not only a dr. but a healer, a scientist and has the Hippocrates Health Institute and has literally helped thousands of people heal themselves through diet and education over 40 years is someone you can listen to speak on youtube. You will learn so much from him! Also, Dr. Gabriel Cousens who you can listen to speak on youtube as well. He has been at the forefront of healing people as well through diet and education at his healing center called The Tree of Life. Ann Wigmore can be heard on youtube, David Wolfe and so many that are all at your fingertips if you have the internet.
I take my health in my own hands and blame no one for it. I take responsibilty for it both emotionally and physically. I continue to learn daily and adjust and experiment. I think the doctors are doing their own experiments on people but just act as if they know what they're doing! Often they're in the dark too- they just don't let others know (except perhaps in confidence with some colleagues who are equally as baffled!)Currently, I have had amazing results with juicing on a daily basis of lots of green veggies and lots of raw food. For awhile I was doing this exclusively but then when it got cold and wet here, we started to slowly add in cooked foods, mostly homemade soups and my body seems to be doing fine on it. I have continued to eliminate all pasta, dairy and bread from my diet. Through this I have eliminated all the excruciating pain that I have lived with for 4 years now. I feel so grateful to that. Having said that, I don't consider this the end of the road. I will continue to tweek things here and there to live optimally. I hope this helps you in some way.
Peace, Lisa

Reading between the lines, Ok just today on the net. "The dangers of daily dose of aspirin" Then on Dr. Oz TV show, he encourages people to take a low dose of aspirin everyday.
See my point, and yes I know what the real medical doctors are all about ( MONEY ). It is a corrupted system and I LOVE the ideal of people being able to heal them self without drugs or surgery.
Maybe Cured can help me here.
Soy. Ted says soy is ok. The other natural Drs. say no to SOY.
I even read an article on the net about the area of the USA with the oldest population ( people on average living longer ) and one thing they did was not to consume any SPICES in their diets.On EC, here we use spices to heal.
We only know what we read, since the natural field is lacking the necessary studies and funding that the DRUG PUSHING Drs. are getting.
Anyway, I hope everyone accepts my apology, But I also hope everyone can see my point and why it gets confusing. There are to many subjects to list here. But there are a Ton of conflicking stories people have about natural remedies.
I will be glad to list some of the things that have me confused. My list is long, so be prepared. I know we are all learning, but I want proof of what actually has been done in Mexico and other countries. I think these reports could give us some actual facts on the results. On here we are all at the mercy of the poster.I love THIS SITE and am so thankful that I found it and have been able to use it all these years.
ABSOLUTELY, there are things on here that WORK. At least it worked for me.
Let's say, someone wanted to practice natural medicines as a holistic DR. What school would you attend? Who would you believe had the best cures? I say this because everyone practices in different ways.
Cured, I would like to know what it is that you do daily for you health and cures. Let us know your protocol, so we can learn from you. I want knowledge, but where the verdict is out we need sources posted and debate and bat around the pros and cons.

If you can't read between the lines or use your own common sense then you might be better off putting your medical care back in the hands of a doctor. Your words--"The medical doctore tend to agree some what with each other!"---They agree with what makes them MONEY! And what they were taught in school. It has only been in the last 100 years that we have gotten away from natural home remedies. In 3 generations have we become that brainwashed already? Humans have existed over 2000 years on earth thanks to home remedies and a medicine man (kinda like earth clinic) to tell us what we need. I doubt we last another 200 years using mainstream modern day doctor advice and Rx drugs. That is scary to hear all the side effects especially "women who are pregnant should not handle" & "if you are nursing or pregnant or could become pregnant" etc. If we think we have seen mutations and new birth defects, it disgusts me to think of what the next 100 years is going to bring. BPA which by the way causes cancer--FDA approved that one, the list is endless.
Candida for example; I researched some 10 websites when I first heard of it. The only thing/people ignoring this exists are doctors. Why might one ask? It has 20 ailments related to it. All of which drive people over and over to the doctor. This income they have come accustomed to. Of course now most mainstream doctors won't get a clue because they like the income. If they give you one pill or one remedy to cure this, they all will be out big time.
There are chicken littles everywhere. You have to be smart enough to know what is fact and what isn't. It is the information age, do research on other websites. Pay attention to your sources. With so many news sources today you have to take things with a grain of salt and filter out most of what you read. If someone told you to jump off a bridge I am positive you would have enough common sense not to do it. Same principle applies here.
Over 5 years daily reader and you have found things proven to work for you and your family. Keep going with those that make sense. If you don't understand it, forget it and move on. That is just the brainwash talking---2000 years, how did we ever survive so long without these huge drug companies and millions of doctors--who by the way 99% of which were not around 200 years ago. "We" are creating our own problem and it is scary to think of what the next 200 years is going to look like.
Reflate your bubble and get back on the wagon. Surely you weren't wrong to spend the last 5 years using ole time remedies and keeping your family healthy. Don't let a little turbulance and confusion burst your bubble...with this or anything else in life.

I'm sorry that you feel so disappointed and disillusioned. I truly hope that you will always read with discernment what people write here. I have been on here for quite awhile as well and there are times when I have felt the same but for different reasons. Still, I work to keep an open mind which I don't think the mainstream medical community often does. I love the things Joyce from Joelton has to always say. She was from that medical world and her advice is always sound. I say, always question and do your research beyond this forum and the advice given by anyone on here- even those who sound "all-knowing". Then, follow your intuition- it is a very sound guide if you listen. Some things work for some, other things work for others! We are all so different and sometimes the placebo effect is even sufficient! There is still so much about life that is a mystery, including our bodies because we are spiritual beings having a physical experience so there are factors involved beyond the simply-explained.
For myself, I was a sickly child that was taken to the dr. and hospitals more than most. It wasn't until I left home that I made a conscious decision to take my health into my own hands as I was disillusioned with drs. That being said, I don't discount them if in fact, through natural means, I can't seem to be shaking something off i.e., a bladder infection. Still, I will take other means first to be in charge of my health and my kids. I have 5 of them and have truly never used drs.(I have always used homeopathy, folk remedies, Chinese medicine, herbs, Aryuvedic remedies, healthy food, etc. to name a few other paths.) Three of my kids are adults now and in their adult life have chosen to use drs. My oldest daughter though, through a serious sinus infection and drs. advice and many bouts of antibiotics (against my advice) with no real results became disillusioned and finally, in utter defeat came to me in tears asking me what she should do. Prior to that, I was the crazy mom who lives with the belief of eating right and that food is our medicine, understood correctly. Taking care of our health is easier than trying to bring it back! She has truly changed in one year. She has modified her diet staying away from all dairy and sugar and she's like a different person. She has never had any other sinus issues since so as a result, stays with this protocol.
Anyway, I hope you can stay open and understand that everyone here is trying to find their way. We are all trying to find our way as we coexist on this planet...
Peace to you,
Lisa

Probotics, cause aids? Is this if your already have HIV?
Alkiline body is really sick and causes health problems?
I wish, now more than ever that I had just stuck with traditional medical doctors.
The medical doctore tend to agree some what with each other! I know most of the people here are NOT doctors, But this is just crazy.
No matter where I go and what I read NO ONE can agree... I might just be done on here.
I am sorry to sound so angry... I know somethings here FOR SURE do work. My family and I have tried and had sucess with.
Candida!!! How many stories can we get about this??? Who will agree? Nobody!
I am very disappointed right now, it maybe time just for me and the family to go back to traditional medicines and regular medical doctor visits. (Since the verdict is still out )
I really wish, that natural remedies could be our future medicines, but with this much confusion, i really don't know.
I was as positive and supportive as anyone posting on here, but now I am like a deflated balloon. Sorry!
Perhaps with moving and retiring to the Philippines, this has also had an effect on my regard for standard allopathic medicine. Here in the Philippines, the average Filipino earns about 150 pesos per day or $3.24 per day and that's if they have any job at all. Consequently the Filipino govt behaves slightly differently to the US govt and the FDA. The Filipino govt fully recognizes that the majority of its population is very poor, and therefore they actually have a government department or agency that researches the efficacy and safety of locally used herbs and they even recommend them !!
In general and within there own communities the Filipinos will have also their own healer -- called an Albularyo -- there to help recommend, prepare and sell the cheap herbal remedies to the poor people since no one here can afford the hospitals(all privately owned) or the medical insurance. It's been like this here for centuries. The Filipinos are a also highly superstitious people, and also have their own form of witchcraft and witchdoctor -- or Mangkukulam -- who provide charms, curses etc. for the right money...but that's another story completely.

Later, I worked in hardware during my early days and finally graduated to becoming a software analyst, eventually going independent as a consultant and contractor. I don't regard myself as medically trained at all wrt alternative therapies, but I am very logical due to my profession. I am now retired in the Philippines, I'm 60 y o and have two grown up sons.
Regarding beliefs, I quite dislike all of the spoiler research and false statistics that have been put out there by research from the big pharmaceuticals and the FDA against herbs used by alternative therapy. I wrote an article about it a while ago, giving all the arguments, with evidence, why I think The Germ Theory approach -- which is what the whole pharmaceutical industry and medical profession is based on -- was so incorrect. This is a very scathing article written by me because, at the time, I was so fed up and frustrated with all the lies and misdirection:
http://slowsmile.hypocrisy.com/2008/09/16/part-2-big-pharma-the-success-of-the-germ-theory/
Although I've had quite a fascination for natural herbal therapy for many years, my interest in using simple body-friendly chemicals is very new, and this interest never really sparked and took off until I had used Ted's remarkably simple alkalizing remedies to successfully cure my candida, and since that time I've made it a point to use, study and learn about the use of natural sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, Magnesium, methylene blue, vitamin C, Sodium thosulfate and a host of other remedies that are mainly based on Ted's advice. If I'm going to help people properly on this site, it just makes sense that I should use and test these cures too, so I know what I'm talking about(...so I don't have to rely so completely on the often dubious research from the pharmaceutical industry). If I read about a cure, I don't usually believe it unless I've used it or have researched, corroborated and made up my own mind about it.
Trouble is, I'm healthy now, nothing wrong with me...LOL. So my own research and testing isn't easy !!
I have also helped people here in the Philippines with arthritis, gout, diabetes and kidney problems using my own herbal remedies derived from my own homegrown herbs as well as from using many of the remedies from this site.
This site is a wonderful gem...!!
