If you take an antibiotic for a tooth abscess is it harmful to take dry mustard for constipation? Can they be spaced about 1/2 hr. apart? Could there be some kind of conflict because someone posted they took the mustard as an alternative to antibiotics.

It sounds to me like you have food allergy symptoms as well as digestion issues. The primary problem is referred to as Leaky Gut Syndrome which is passed on to the children from their mothers at birth. NOTE: This is not a genetic condition, it is caused by bad flora in the stomach and intestines. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, a Russian Neurologist and Nutritionist discovered the condition after her son was diagnosed as severely Autistic. All the mother's in her support group had digestive issues. By diet, she was able to heal her son of Autism, as well as thousands of others. Dr. Campbell-McBride discovered the connection between Mental Illness and bad gut flora and claims that Mental Illness, ADHT, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Depression, all Inflamatory Diseases etc. We're caused by partially undigested food leaking into the bloodstream through holes in the gut. Since the body does not recognize this form as nutrients, the body sends out antibodies to distroy the foreign objects. This condition causes malabsorption and piosons our bodies. In sensitive or severe cases the poisons start to effect mood. Some people are able to mask the symptoms while others get very ill. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Extreme Diahrea; my mother has extreme constipation. My eldest son & I have depression, my wife and younger son mask the symptoms. This information is very new as I only discovered it in Sept. 2012. For further info see gaps. me; the book can be purchased through Amazon.

I use grapefruit seed extract as an anti-bacterial and anti-viral and find it very effective. I use it internally and externally for myself, my dogs, and my horses. Excellant product.

Hi Jim, I take Chinese herbs on a regular daily basis and have seen the greatest improvement in my health from those. I also take lypospheric vitamin c almost daily which is amazing. The herbs are adaptogenic so I can take those everyday to build my chi and immune system. I also drink fresh green juice every morning and eat some fermented foods and/or drinks daily.
Outside of that, I change things up on a regular basis as I think the body gets used to the same thing. I will switch it up with ACV, baking soda, sea salt, sodium thiosulphate, coconut oil, etc. The list goes on and on but just like food as medicine, you don't want the same thing everyday, day in and day out. I might do three days or a week of something and then change it up.
Anyway, that's my two cents! Wishing you the best of health, Lisa

I would like feedback on what viewers consider the 3-4 most important daily natural routines they are doing. I am currently oil pulling with sunflower oil in the morning. I follow with 2 teaspoonfuls of in the mother ACV with 4 oz. of Aloe Vera. I cook with and add coconut oil on bread and just ingest some throughout the day. All this is used as a preventative. Any help on routines with quantities would be most appreciated.

I was just diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, acid reflux and gastritis. Waiting on biopsy results. Saw on this site the Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda regimen to use for acid reflux and I want to try it but I will be starting Aciphex tonight. Can I do the regimen WITH being on the meds?

Some years ago I read a book written by a Vermont Dr. Jarvis. I followed the instructions to drink a mixture of apple cider, and water with my meals to help lose weight. I was very happy with the success I had.
But I have gained weight again in the past few years, and would like to try this diet again. However.. due to a heart problem, I have had surgery to place a stent in my heart, and must take Plavix (blood thinner) as well as 1 aspirin per day.
What I would like to know is if including the ACV back into my diet be safe along with the plavix, and asprin?
Thank You. With much appreciation, Sunny

What a wonderful site!!! Just starting having pain in knee (symptoms indicate athiritis) so have started taking ACV (Today). I also take hypertension tablets (enalapril and bendrofluthiazide) and take bisoprolol as apparently I have a diastolic dysfunction. Does anyone know if there are any contraindications of taking ACV with the tablets I am on? Rather not see Dr about knee pain as suspect will then be on jabs of some sort or other and tired of Hospitals!!
Borax, Lemon Water
Posted by Emmet (Alice, Tx) on 08/31/2012
Hi Ted, I was just wondering can I mix the borax with my litre of lemon-water? I was afraid it may interact with it. The lemon water is supposed to be alkalizing and it would make it both easier to drink and allow me to do two things at once. I usually drink lemon-water throughout the day anyway.
Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil
Posted by Susan (Sarnia, Ontario Canada) on 08/05/2012

Take them separately, as they compete with one another for absorption. My nutritionist told me to take them at least an hour apart. I do use them both for their respective benefits, first the coconut oil in my morning coffee and then the aloe vera gel about an hour later. Hope this helps.

Sodium Thiosulfate
Posted by Anonymous (Anonymous) on 08/01/2012
I made some 10% sodium thiosulfate in a glass eye dropper bottle, after six months, the solution got cloudy and oily feeling, is this natural?
Also to purify water is it ok to mix 10% ST, borax AND hydrogen peroxide? I want to remove the impurities, esp chlorine and fluoride.
Or would ST and borax be enough or is H2O2 enough?
And if we need so much iodine can we just use that in drinking water all day? Or it is too bad tasting? Thank you.
Fulvic Acid, H2O2, Baking Soda
Posted by Stella (New York) on 07/26/2012
I read a post where someone questioned the combination of fulvic acid, H2O2 and baking soda. Apparently Ted supports this combination but I cant find the info anywhere on EC after tons of searching. Im already doing the baking soda and water remedy to alkalize. I've recently started the fulvic acid and it causes my ph to dip to 5 whereas the baking soda and water keep it around 7, sometimes 8. My fulvic acid comes in drops, from a reputable organic creator. I take 7-12 drops in 16oz of water. I have intestinal issues and feel the oxygen, alkaline and fulvic would be great.
Does anyone have any info on how to combine these 3 things and still reap the benefits of all? How many days a week should they be taken? How many days off? I intend to alternate days with borax and oil pulling for hormonal balance and toxin removal...
Any suggestions?....

Soaking in hydrogen peroxide and water would accomplish the same thing and be MUCH safer than bleach! Bleach is very dangerous and should never touch your skin, because that is similar to drinking it.
Chlorella, Urine Therapy
Posted by Coffee (Oaxaca, Mexico) on 06/18/2012
Hello, I have been taking chlorella for 4 months now and I used to smoke. No more than 5 or 6 cigarettes a day for five years for two periods of my life. 18-23 and 28-33. I have quit and am curious, as chorella is meant to rid the body of the heavy metals contained in cigarettes. I can't ask earthclinic to verify the claims that chlorella is useful for that purpose but assuming it is, would urine therapy be safe during the time I am consuming chlorella? I am taking about 30 grams of chlorella daily and was drinking my urine quite regularly til about midday and just wanted to be sure. Thank you kindly for your help, Coffee
H2O2, Juices
Posted by Michal (Winfield, Il) on 06/15/2012
Hi, I believe I have systemic candida b/c I have (coated tongue, numerous yeast infections etc. ) and had some dental implants and was prescribed antibiotics. What juices, aside from Aloe Vera, can be mixed with H202. There seems to be vitamin C in most juices. I have a wheatgrass juicer that also juices vegetables and I've done carrot juice with it but I avoided wheatgrass w/H2O2 b/c of Vitamin C. I also put it in coconut water.

Hi. I just started a couple of remedies that were recommended to me. Yesterday I took super Lysine extract (few drops in water) for fibromylagia as well as receding gums; took 3 mg boron tablet this morning due to fluoride and chlorine in water; also applied clove oil on toenails for fungus issue (2 days). Also note I have switched from a calcium-magnesium liquid to just taking liquid magnesium (the last couple of days) because of concerns of too much calcium in my diet. Could any or a combination of these result in a sudden onset of aching muscles in arms and legs as this feeling started today and has persisted all day.

I don't know if this will help totally, but I put in a scoop of Stevia in ACV /BS mix, it then taste like honey?? I don't know why. But Stevia is an alkaline so it shouldn't mess up the mix. And have you tried the borax treatment as well, it is to be sipped, about 1/8 tsp borax in 1 liter of water, through out the day, that should help the burn, at least it does me. don't give up.

You can use tea tree oil on feet for athletics foot also- if you don't like the bleach idea... Vinegar may also work I know for cleaning it cleans as well as bleach without being a poison... For that you would have to check with someone else...

Hi Surulere (what a pretty name :-)),
3 or 5mg Melatonin alone will put me to sleep without all the other stuff mentioned.
As I read your posts, I am thinking "her nervous sustem sounds exhausted". I do not know if that is true for you, but it has been true for me and here is what worked the best for me:
2 raw egg yolks, either buried in a smoothie where you can't taste them or- what I do- is thoroughly wet both hands, gently pour the unbroken yolk from the shell into my wet fingers, very carefully roll them from hand to hand (with cracked fingers letting the water run through and away) to rinse the clear white off and let the white go on down the drain, gently pick the whitish yolk strings off each end with my fingernails, then swallow the unbroken yolk down in one fell swoop without breaking it. A Kung Fu Black Belt taught me this technique many years ago.
Once I have swallowed it, I can feel the difference in my nerves within seconds, everything 'resets' to a very restful internal calm. Among many other valuable nutrients, egg yolks contain very assimilable Lecithin which is almost a perfect food for the nervous system, including Myelin Sheath, according to the late great Healer, Hanna Kroeger. Cooked eggs will not do this, it must be the yolk only, and it must be raw.
If you can't stand the idea of the egg yolks, you could acquire non-GMO Lecithin *granules* (the softgels of liquid lecithin won't do the same thing), which I like to dissolve into not-from-concentrate apple juice or fresh pressed cider and drink. It takes maybe 3 minutes for the granules to dissolve totally, and tastes like a very tasty combination of apple and vanilla.

Hi Mike, I have read in several places on the www that Vitamin C *decolorizes* Lugol's Iodine solution, but does not deactivate it. I do not remember the exact chemical change which occurs, but I do know that Bangkok Ted has spelled it out in one of his EC posts.
I add Lugol's to the last few tablespoons of my morning coffee, works great and lessens the chemical taste.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice Timh... I'm actually allergic to dandelions, so I assume drinking the tea won't do me too many favors. Any other suggestions for this? I don't have the luxury of choosing what I eat on the road, here, and artichokes are definitely never on the menu.

Tourmama, Liver /Gallbladder problems are quite often the cause of chronic psoriasis. All the tummy trouble and constipation also indicates the L/G as bile is the bodies natural acid reducer and laxative (your passage is severely slowed). I suffered the same symptoms as you for many yrs until a chiropractor diagnosed me using reflexology; so I finally cleaned my gb and started Milk Thistle Seed, Dandelion, Artichoke and other good liver herbs. Drink two cups of strong Dandelion Tea (a few hrs apart) and you should have immediate results on the top and bottom end; if so, then the aforementioned is correct for you.

Hi Tourmama, As you will be away and won't want any possible detox reactions maybe lower all your doses. I think 2 Tbs of ACV is not a low starting dose and would start with only 1 teaspoon in water and maybe do it twice a day. It may be worth having the EVCO with your meals although that may not be practical whilst traveling. Have a good trip.

Hi Gertrude, I know I should cut coffee out, but it's a necessary evil in my line of work. During my off time, I try to limit my intake of it, but on the road, I would be a mess without it. Which I why I was so excited about the ACV remedy. Anything to reduce the harm all of the antacids have caused over the years. Since posting earlier today, I have been sipping the ACV remedy rather than "shooting" it. It is definitely, not a pleasant taste, so I was trying to get it down as quick as possible. Now, I have been nursing my second dose of it, and the pain has subsided.
However... Now it seems my psoriasis is flaring up. Does anyone know if the ACV could be cancelling out the good of the hemp oil and EVCO? Or does anyone have any suggestions on a healthy balance and prefered times of the day/evening? I'm leaving in less than 2 days for a one month tour (different city/country everyday, on my feet for 16 hour a day, no days off, lots of stress, eat what you're served kind of thing). Any advice would be extremely helpful. I don't want to pack things that are harming me and definitely cannot afford to get sick in any way while on the road.

I'm sorry to hear about your sour stomach. I also have acid reflux. You should defintely cut coffee out of your diet (I had to do it too, I know how hard it is) but coffee is straight acid.
