Hi Bill, Magnesium Chloride is available where I live, I bought it in a local drug store (sold by weight). It looks more crystalline than flaky and has an 'oily' texture to itthough, I'm guessing it might be from the sea. I just bought it recently and made Mag Oil and it is quite effective.

I take 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of tumeric with oil and warm water after lunch every day (when I can) for sinus and congestion issues. I would like to take it in the morning after breakfast as I am not home at lunch time and it is very inconvenient. I also take some vitamins and other medications after breakfast. My question is: can I take my tablets at the same time as taking the cayenne pepper mixture in the morning or should I keep them separate. Thanks for your help.

Please look at the [one of the] above posts where Ted's is quoted explaning that the ACV and OxPer should not be mixed as the OXPer neutralizes the vitamin C in ACV but like 6 hours apart.
Iodine, Coconut Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda
Posted by Jumpingjackflash (Mckinney, Tx) on 07/11/2011
I would highly recommend trying some probiotics/prebiotics. A lot of what you mention sounds like at a minimum a Gluten intolerance or at worse Celiacs disease. The first thing you can do is buy some Kefir at the grocery store and start drinking that. If you get results with that, look for some concentrated probiotics -- can typically find them at the upscale grocery stores. They come refrigerated. Look for one that has a large amount of Bifidium.
Another thing you can try is half a full size lime squeezed into a glass, add some water, then baking soda -- this helped my Mom with her indigestion/acid reflux.
I mix Lugol's with Vitamin C -- and take that on an empty stomach. Iodine and Vit C are synergistic. I don't think there would be an issue with mixing in ACV. I prefer to take EVCO right before a meal (once in the morning and once in the evening) and with that I'll take any fat soluble vitamins I may be taking (Vit D, E, etc.)

A lot of supplements work better in combination, not on their own! That is the reason why when you buy a certain supplement it often comes together with others!
Iodine, Coconut Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda
Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 07/08/2011
It seems to me it is a BAD idea to be mixing supplements as a general rule. The stomach has a PH value of about 1. That is fairly acidic, and many different compounds react and combine with each other in unpredictable ways. Mostly the stomach breaks down larger compounds into smaller, absorbable compounds. But many compounds, including many of the different supplements do interact with each other in unpredictable ways....Oscar

Hi, wonderful site, has given me so much help. Am thinking that I have Candida, bladder infections, yeast infections, very uncomfortable stomach, difficult to eat much because of the discomfort, even water seems to bloat me. Stomach feels like ones stomach does when you have been in a fearful situation. Aso the rumbling, growling and feeling of movement and of of course the diarrhea Low grade headaches, brain fog, don't feel up to par most of the time, not the greatest amount of energy.
So have given up sugar, flour and still learning what else I cannot eat
My concern is that I have been using coconut oil and ACV with baking soda, some relief, but I am concerned that I am on an iodine regime and wondering if they should not be taken with one another.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I sure hope someone replied to you before this. It sounds like you made a classic volcano in your stomach! Have you ever seen what vinegar and baking soda do when combined? You can clean a clogged drain with the combo because it virtually "erupts". You can certainly take both the ACV and the baking soda - just not too closely in time.

Hello Ted and everyone, can I take both MSM and H2O2 at DIFFERENT times? What I have been doing is taking MSM 12 hours after I take H2O2.
I take 10 drops of 35% food grade H2O2 diluted down to 3% in water when I get up. I have just started taking MSM, so approximately 12 hours later I take 1/8 teaspoon mixed in water and will work up to a 1/2 tablespoon per day (I weigh 123 lbs. ) or more if I can.
Also, are there any vitamins or supplements that should NOT be taken with either MSM or H2O2? (I take quite a few different vitamins or supplements)
I also take NSI Hyaluronic Acid with BioCell Collagen II - 100 mg per serving and 1000 mg of vitamin C BUT I take the vitamin C approx. 8-10 hours BEFORE I take the Hyaluronic Acid as I read here in Earth Clinic that vitamin C breaks down the Hyaluronic Acid, which is not good.
I also want to say I enjoy Earth Clinic much, this is where I come to learn. I have spent many hours searching for an answer to my above questions but all I have found is: Ted said "..... Both a hydrogen peroxide and DMSO is often used as carriers, but they can't be used both together. They tend to neutralize one another. My experience is hydrogen peroxide seems to have an upper hands on infections over the DMSO. " https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/DMSO_questions.html
Thanks in advance for any and all responses. Ted, I know how busy you are but if you have time perhaps you can share your wisdom on these matters with me.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Iodine
Posted by Sheila (San Diego, Ca, Usa) on 05/27/2011
I can't positively say that ACV and iodine did this, but I suspect that ACV and taking iodine in the same day for a period of 2 weeks made my immune system, with my current physical health, hyperactive, and resulted in acute urticaria with angio-edema (self Dx'ed), an auto-immune reaction.
I had been taking very low doses of iodine a day for a month and a half, then started increasing the strength (from 700 mcg to 6 mgs of Lugol's) to determine my highest threshold. In the meantime, I was reading Jarvis' book Folk Medicine and in that last week of taking iodine, I added ACV to my regimen.
It's taken 6 weeks to completely recover from my symptoms, and I still feel twinges of itching. Lots of histamine, dry skin and some swelling.
If you're going to use ACV and iodine in the same day for a length of time, I'd use moderation, keep to low doses for a while, AND keep a detailed accounting of what you're using/doing and what you're eating.
You can probably find my postings to piece together my experience with this if you search "Sheila, San Diego, CA".

The anxiety and panic issues are the tip of the iceberg. They always stem from another deeper problem, unfortunatly. Sometimes you don't realize that you have a problem until the anxiety and panic begins. These attacks are your body's outlet- a type of shut down and "no-more" where your body takes over. The actually scientific problem is the lack of sertonin absorbtion and chronic depression is pre exisiting not from an event. If you are taking anti anxiety meds, DO NOT take anything that causes drowsiness. It puts you at risk of stroke.
All the omegas (fish oil), B12 and gluten free diet ease the symptoms. 15 years of fighting it myself :) Cognitive therapy works.

Hi Surulere - If it is a good nights sleep you are looking for - here is something to try:
Calcium - 600mg
Magnesium - 600mg
Melatonin - 5mg (sublingual - the kind you let melt under your tongue)
Take this about 45 mins before bed, and you WILL sleep! I slept SEVEN hours straight a couple of nights ago, and the main new thing I have added is the melatonin. I love it.
Also - do NOT drink energy drinks, coffee or take a B-complex vitamin after noon or it can mess up your sleep big time.
Good luck to you!

Here is an interesting article on Niacin (Vitamin B3). When you have a deficiency it can cause depression, anxiety and even insomnia. Dr. Hoffer has done many studies on Niacin. An important point here is that niacin is a vitamin, not a drug. It is not habit forming. Niacin does not require a prescription because it is that safe. It is a nutrient that everyone needs each day. Different people in different circumstances require different amounts of niacin.
There are dangers in taking anti anxiety "medications" long term so I would stay away from those. One danger is memory loss.

Thanks guys for all your input. Im not depressed but have lots of anxiety issues that have gone 120%. I had some trauma about a year ago which left me in this stage. Trust me, it not my last resort for a depression meds. Hence, I have a problem with dosage with herbal medicines which are not properly prescribed. The Benzo are not the way to go because of addiction... If only I get one goodnight sleep. That will be the beggining of my success story.

Re Depression: It can also be a chemical imbalance - and not the result of anything psychological.
I do find it odd that so many people are clinically diagnosed and on drugs for it these days (including people I am very close to).... when just a couple of decades ago it wasn't so widespread.
Or maybe it was, and people just didn't know it or talk about it as much?

Francisca - Depression is an illness, not the result of "some major event that occurred" in someone's life. That type of depression is situational (lost a job, divorce, etc. ) and the depression will pass with time. No med's would be prescribed for that type depression.
Surulere - All of your symptoms listed would benefit more - MUCH more, from a benzodiazapene (CNS depressant used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, sleeplessness, racing thoughts, muscle tension) than an SSRI (antidepressant).
I would get a second opinion. I truly would. I work in the medical field and when I read your symptoms, I thought; "Why is the doctor prescribing SSRI's/antidepressants?? She's not depressed, she has textbook ANXIETY issues and should be on a benzo."
Returning to your question though - yes, you can absolutely continue taking the ACV, honey and coconut oil regardless of the type medication. Hope you feel better, soon.

Surulere, depression can come from toxins, have you ever thought of that? If no major event has occured in your life and you are depressed you might have too much toxins in your body. I am reading a great book right now which refers to that. Taking Vit. C, at least 1000mg a day seems to help quite well. You might be able to come off your depression medication which, if the problem is indeed the toxins, is not doing you any favours. Sorry I can't help you with the combination you are taking as I have no idea of the consequeces.

reply to Sue.. I notice by your age you are postmenopausal, perhaps you should have a serum ferritin blood test for iron storage disorder This is a common genetic disorder which usually doesn't affect women much until after menopause.. Unfortunately men with this disorder build up iron levels from an early age and have much higher levels. The iron is stored in heart, liver, pancreas and brain, and even in the tissues and gives rise to heart attacks, diabetes, arthritis, liver cancer among other ailments. if you have the gene for this (it is quite common) it could account for your fatigue.. Apparently 90% of patients with this disorder first present with chronic fatigue. If so it could be that you are taking in a bit much iron. I have the disorder myself and limit BSM to 1 tsp day. It's worth checking out.. since I have been getting treatment (simple blood letting) My energy is better, sleep patterns improved and muscle and joint pains are greatly reduced.

Thanks Bill for the wealth of info! I eat mini meals throughout the day so I started taking the Borax & H2O2 combo in the evenings to fight candida. I also add green tea for the tannic acid & sometimes magnesum & potassium to this combo too. Hope that's ok, if not please let me know. Thanks again to all the helpful people here!
Sodium Thiosulfate
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, San Fernando, Philippines) on 05/15/2011
Hi Elly... It is true that sodium thiosulphate will neutralize the hydrogen peroxide. So best to take these separately and a few hours apart. I take the ST more often than the HP because I think that there is a continual defensive battle against heavy metals, chlorine etc from modern processed food and water etc. And when you go out to eat with your friends to a restaurant(as we do), you really don't know what processed food you're eating. So it is a continual battle.
I usually reserve the hydrogen peroxide to take if there is something actually wrong with me. It is a very effective and broad acting ant-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal and is also useful against cancer. Ted has quoted research by Dr Reginald Holman, who implanted adenocarcinoma cancer in Walker rats in the 1950s. He just fed them a normal diet including 0. 45% HP in their drinking water and their cancer was gone in 15 - 60 days.
HP is highly reactive though. I've also read that if HP is taken with Vit C, it will neitralize this anti-oxidant as well. Ted advises taking Vit C 6 hours after you dose with HP(after the HP is excreted from the body). Also, if you take Iodine with HP this will convert it to Hydriodic Acid -- which has completely different properties to lugol's iodine.
That's why it's always best to take the HP on its own and separately.
However, you can take borax(1/4 teaspoon), sodium bicarbonate(1/4 teaspoon) and HP(10 - 15 drops or more) together in a liter of water per day -- this combination will act to alkalize your blood, help remove fluoride, balance your hormones, kill the bad microbes and help to oxygenate the tissues(more energy) more effectively. This mix becomes even more effective if you also add a 1/4 teaspoon sea salt which acts synergistically to aid absorbtion into the body. I use this mix when necessary. Also remember that borax should be taken for only 4 days out of every week.

Hi I leave a 1 litre carafe of water on the kitchen bench all the time and refill it when needed. I find the chlorine taste is gone in about an hour. I read a book called 'Your body's many cries for water' by F. Batmanghelidj and he says leave your glass of water to sit for 1 hr and the chlorine will evaporate out of it. Cheers Lily.
Sodium Thiosulfate
Posted by Elly (Topeka, Kansas) on 05/14/2011
Hey Bill from San Fernando, Philippines, I just read a Ted quote "A hydrogen peroxide cannot be combined with sodium thiosulfate. Both would neutralize each other, but they can be taken hours apart. " If I have chlorinated water will hydrogen peroxide get rid of it and then go on to give oxygen to my body? I usually add the sodium thiosulfate to a big glass pitcher water and later in the day add some H2O2 drops but I didn't know these would neutralize each other, even hours apart? I was using a new charcoal filter to get the chlorine out but the water doesn't smell or taste the best left overnight. But with Sodium Thiosulfate it tastes fine. Thanks, love this site and all the wonderful people here xo

I found this website while searching for a cure for urinary tract infections. I am so impressed with the cure that I have been obsessively searching everything I can think of that I want to try to cure or improve. I have a few remedies I want to try but I'm not sure how to use everything together. One post said that ACV would cancel out the positive effects of using an oil if I mix them together. I have seen posts by other people who use different oils and ACV but they don't say whether they take oil then take ACV 4 hours later, for example, or vice versa, or if they take them mixed together. Can anyone tell me if they use any oils mixed with ACV and if it works well when mixed or if I should take them at seperate times?
Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, Vitamin C, Baking Soda, H2O2
Posted by Jens (North Vancouver, B.c. Canada) on 02/17/2011
★★★★★
Apple cider vinegar, liquid unpasturized honey, vitamin C, sodium bicarbonate and drops of 29% food grade hydrogen peroxide mixed into a yerba mate tea base has now been personally consumed for ten years. The effects have been most beneficial to my health and well being. Consumed instead of coffee it is a wonderful pick me up to start the day. This should be followed with water through the day as the tea is cleaning the pipes. The sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is used to adjust the acidity and flavour (pinch or two). The honey should not be put into a too hot tea 114F max to retain it's full benefits. One of honey's main attributes is that when diluted with water the presence of hydrogen peroxide is tested for to determine the quality, the higher the value for h2o2 the higher the quality of the honey and it's healing properties. H2o2 and honey have a special relationship as long as certain enzymes are still abundant. Honey will also take up h2o2 and act as a carrier. All the other ingredients are rich in anti-oxidants, meaning they assist in controling oxidation and oxidative stress also preventing oxygen free radical damage. The amount of h2o2 mixed in should always begin with 1 or 2 drops and carefully progress up from there. There is nothing that will prevent you from contacting pathogens but how they are dealt with is dependant on your immune response and wether you were affected or never even noticed. Food poisoning was another interesting situation.
We got it as a family my son who drinks the least water and no h2o2 with colloidal silver (cs) was affected for four days.
My daughter who drinks some cs water and bathes in h2o2 (2 cups 29%/ tub) was affected for two days.
My wife who drinks more cs water than my daughter and bathes in h2o2 was affected two days but was better than my daughter.
I had a slight churning of the intestines and an extra bowel movement a couple of hours after the suspect meal. So I never skipped a beat and was able to take care of the other less fortunate souls. There was also a benefit to adding a bit of cs to the water and to consuming an adequate amount of the water.
