1. What is the benefit of being a registered user?
2. Is there a "log out" button somewhere?
This website in my opinion is a God sent. No one comes to this site by accident, I think it's God's little angels that guides us this way. Thank you EC and God bless you.

I have the same problem for some time.The search bar is black....can't see anything.
EC: Was fixed. Please refresh the site.
Baldev,
If EC can't find it, I doubt I will be able to find it on EC!
Here is a nattokinase study showing that it is an effective antiatherosclerotic at a doable dose!Notice also the intima media thickness change for the better, very impressive!

Here is another abstract that shows nattokinase can lower blood pressure:

Good luck!

Hi Art,
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I want a favor from you, if you could let me know the dose and when to take, can both be taken together. Serrapeptase, (I have 80,000iu) it's written on the bottle to be taken empty stomach, where as Nattokinase it's 100mg, 2000 FU. It's for an 80 yr old physically fit person but having high systolic about 160 in the morning and feeling of light headedness. On no medication of any sort, but supplements yes.
Thanks,
Baldev
Baldev,
If it was me and I was going to try and replicate the studies, the hypertension study used 2,000 FU per day while the study for anti atherosclerotic effect used 6,000 FU per day. I would check with my doctor, show the doctor the studies and see what he/she thinks about me using nattokinase given my current health. If he/she approves it, I would ask if I can start at the lower dose and work my way up to the higher dose. If that is approved then I would ask the doctor to monitor me regularly to see if I can replicate the test results in a similar amount of time! Because of the health risks involved in atherosclerosis and hypertension, regular monitoring and testing by my doctor would have to be mandatory!
Art
Hi Art,
I also wanted to know whether Nattokinase is also to be taken empty stomach and if yes can Nattokinase and Serraptase can be taken together or Nattokinase is to be taken with meals, it's not clear in any article.
Thanks,
Baldev

MAMA, I too admire the photos of these wild plants. So what does this do for those who don't live in the sticks. For me, Mama is sending me to school because I see these plants every day and have no clue as to their benefits. Now I know. For a few, this can be used . For city slickers, it is just something to read. I recall the first discussions we had about the Poke berries. Does Mama remember this conversation? I too have been half way around the watermelon.

Dear Robert Henry,
You ask a valid question – what value is learning to identify herbs to city folk? I have asked that to myself.
We have farmer friends who once had someone visit their farm. Our friends offered this young woman some farm fresh eggs. She was rather shocked, ‘Oh…no! I don't eat my eggs right from the chicken. I get them from the store.” I have heard of children raised on fast food chicken nuggets having no clue that chicken meat comes from a walking animal with bones in it!
I think there is value in knowing where things come from, even if you get things from the store. Seeing a picture of a plant or even recognizing it on a roadside and connecting it to health just brings a greater appreciation to life and healing. It puts a face to a name.
Sure most won't be able to forage the plants they see. But maybe they will see it at a grandparent's house or on a hiking trip. And a few just may learn to recognize the herbs and try them out. And then pass along knowledge. So much herbal understanding has been completely lost. Maybe by one person at a time it will be restored.
I remember when I bought my first bags of dried herbs. I labeled each one with what it might be used for. It was a complete mystery and not a little overwhelming. I lived in a townhouse. I never imagined living in the sticks as I do now. Over the decades I have tried so many things and learn just a little more each time. I love to read about herbs and experiment with them.
I just recently reorganized my herb cabinet. I got rid of some old herbs that have been around too long. I gave some to the chickens. My son is giving some old red raspberry leaf to his goat who just had triplets. She has so much milk that he has to milk her out a bit even with her feeding 3 babies. He thinks it is the red raspberry leaf. It is good for milk supply among many other things.
Yes, I recall our discussion about poke. The poke is coming up around my place. I think of it as a friend when I see the little plants. It is like they have a secret – so much healing if we would take the time to learn.

Dear Mama and ORH,
Of all the Earth Clinic posters, yours' bring me the most food for thought. The reason is that I often join in on my husband's business trips and enjoy taking walks through unfamiliar cities. You both challenge me to look for plants that can be used as food or medicine. This morning's walk on the Las Vegas Strip did not yield any Mullein or Plantain, but I did find enough Purslane and Dandelion for a salad.

HI U IOWAMA,,,,,,,, don't put me in the league with Mama as far as wild plants are concerned. I just try to write an interesting story as things unfold in my life. If your life is stagnant then you have few stories to tell. My life has been long and varied, thus, I can tell a yarn or two.
I think Mama is right, even city slickers can get something from EC. I guess all know that the EC folks edits my posts. I speak plain and that does not work in this PC world we now live . They are usually right and I should have counted to 10 before writing. You will notice that my posts have lots of errors because I write so fast as ideas come to mind.

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!

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)?

EC: Hi Bev, Thanks so much for your message! Happily, I think we have the solution you need.
I take it you aren't a registered member of the website? Most people aren't, but there are some real benefits. The best one is the ability to "Watch Posts". If you become a registered member of Earth Clinic, you will see a little eyeball below all of our threaded conversations on the site. Anything you would like to keep track of, you can simply click that eye and it will be recorded in your account. You can also receive email notification anytime someone sends a new response to that post, if you like.
It sounds like that's what you were looking, for, no? I hope so!
