Where to find chemical compounds in Canada

Hi for those looking for potassium bicarbonate powder, potassium citrate powder, calcium hydroxide and many other products in Canada, you can try http://canadawide.ca. It it located in Ottawa, Ontario. But these products are expensive and you might pay extra because of chemicals. You may also have to wait a couple of weeks depending on immediate availability.

All of Purity Products' HA supplements include collagen. I broke my wrist a few months ago, and my hand is very stiff and has some of the symptoms of Dupuytren's Contracture (hope not), which include a sort of thickening of the palm said to be collagen "overgrowth" (I think), so I'm worried about taking supplemental collagen. I was looking for a straight HA, and have only found one by Pure Encapsulations, but very expensive. On the other hand, I may NOT have Dupuytren's... Fingers also won't completely straighten out (another symptom) plus I have some nodules.

sorry, I am a little suspicious with you boasting about one specific product...there are many others on the market that get good reviews & are cheaper & in some cases a more reputable brand...like Now, or Jarrow or Source Naturals... I would go with any of these first & save your $$$.

to Rob in Manhattan..

Are you now taking HA from Jarrow or Source naturals? I am taking HA from Purity and I have sent to ailing friends who swear by it.. that it does work.. Rob over the past 60 years I wanted to save money.. So I purchased from companies like Jarrow and Source naturals.. Only to find out, because it cheap does not make it good. Then one day I woke up.. If it has to do with my health.. I want the best.. If it is too expensive.. Take 1/2 of what they recommend..Then buy the cheaper version.. Then compare personally..

Rob I am not saying that Jarrow or Source Natural are no good.. I am saying that I have a winner that works for me and my friends.. Please when you have time.. Give your pills Ted's water test and see how long it will take them to dissolve..stay well Rob.. Good Health worth more than money.. Alfred

thanks EC, my apologies....didn't realize it was under the favorite products heading...

Alfred,

Thank you for sharing the information. How long did you take this product before you notice these fantastic effects?

Re-Peter from Chicago..Good day..I did not pay too much attention the first 3 or 4 days.. then I notice the hair on my arms..When I was 30 or 40.. I was very hairy on my arms and leg. but over the years gone.. I guess wore off..No hair. but now lots of black hair which started about 3 or 4 days. Its been going on 3 months.. getting hairy again.. Top of my head Bald..Now lot of black hair. my white mustache is turn black..About 10days latter.. my wife said to me.. what happened to the backs of your hands.. those ugly liver spots gone. I looked.. Yes, gone.. my face had Barnicles of ageing which is clearing up.. My skin is tightening.. I think if your younger it will work faster. If you can go to the library and check out the book.. "How to live to 100 without growing old" will really impress you. Purity Products is suppose to best on the market.. But you should take at least 100mg a day.. there are many other brands of pills.. you can go crazy trying to decide whats best. these pills I am taking dissolve in under 10 minutes. At 83 yrs young I am running out of time.. So I must take the best.
Stay well Peter

Hi Alfred from Bankok,

I noticed from the Purity products, they have several different Hyaluronic Acid products to choose from. May I ask which one you use. Thank you, Peace, Rena.

To Rena from Mineral bluff, georgia

I started taking Hylastin.. which is Hyaluronic acid & Omega -3..which I feel is better than the one I am taking. The one I am taking is Ultimate H.A. the reason I switch .. the pills are a little smaller and easier for me to swallow..

Thanks for checking..
Alfred

Rena,

I saw an older Post from Ted, he recommended another place you could buy the HY ACID, it seems less expensive, and it is 100% HY ACID. The place name is PU***tan.

Hyaluronic acid, yes I buy them from purebulk. The only particular brand I like is not the brand itself but for those formulations used for horses, which is proven to work. Hyaluronic acid is way better then the popular Glucosamine sulfate. It is a miracle supplement against back pain caused by degenerative spinal column.

My formula that works is as follows: 500 mg of Hyaluronic acid powder (sodium hyaluronate) plus 9 grams of sea salt in 500 cc of water. Store in refrigerator when not in used. The formula advocated by the (purebulk) will not work as it degrades Hyaluronic acid since vitamin C will obviously degrade them. They do get more stable if EDTA is added in small amounts as free metal irons tend to degrade them. The dose is about 8 caps three times a day empty stomach. It takes about 2 weeks to completely remove all back pain and the joint affected area in extremities may take a little longer. I have a couple of cases with severe spinal degeneration of cartilage and gets fully restored upon taking of HA. What the HA does is very simple. It is a major component of synovial fluid - spinal fluids. It is also found in your skull that acts as a shock absorber. So if the movie Rocky got decomissioned from boxing, the HA will restore the brain concussion and helps boxers against brain damage as HA will act as shock absorber between the brain and the skull.

As for the severe cartilage degeneration, the cause is simple: your cartilage works like a hydraulic system. The HA (Hyaluronic acid) is the hydraulic fluids which fills up the spinal column. The addition of HA fills up the deflated tire of your cartilage, thus restoring the the flattened cartilage. HA is one of the fluids that is also used by cells, but the obvious application is for back pain.

As mentioned, all people that I know of do not need to do spinal surgery caused by damage of the cartilage and can get it fully restored with just HA in a matter of 2 weeks and all pain is gone. However, a back pain may also be caused by muscle stiffness due to lack of magnesium as well as arthritis, which MSM does well in eliminating the arthritic neck pain and back pain. It takes about 1 week to reduce the severity of arthritic back pain by 50% in about 1-2 week. Further reduction is possible.

I have a man who is chairman who owns oil spill up technology was involved with motorcycle accident and had brain concussion. Taking HA larger dose such as 12 capful three times a day reduced his concussion pain within a matter of 30 minutes, with complete recovery from the concussion pain within the week. As for HA's effect as an anti-aging supplement, it might help restoring some wrinkles, but the best way to do this, for both men and women (we're talking about people who are 40 or over) is the progesterone cream, used only twice a week at 1/8 teaspoon, mixed with a small amount of HA. This will reduce the aging skin from both HA & Progesterone.

The basics of HA is simple: it hydrates the body's system. It also acts as a lubricant along the lungs to reduce asthma. When the lungs dries up, you get asthma and the HA lubricates the cellular tissues in the organ, thus restoring the lung's breathing capacity. Of course you still need to rid of fungus which causes asthma. As for the person with a severe neck arthritis, for 20 years, went 50% away within 1 week and completely away in about 3 weeks using MSM 2000 mg x 5 times a day plus B1 thiamine 200 to 400 mg a day (for numbness of extremities).

So James Coburn, the actor who mentioned about curing arthritis with MSM was correct in MSM curing the arthritis. The problem was dose/frequency issue that I have to find out, as well as compare its effectiveness against other arthritis supplements out there. As it turns out, MSM is the best supplement for arthritis, but not HA, which is more ideally suited for joint pain and spinal degeneration, even to the point that the person even WON'T NEED BACK SURGERY. The cartilage actually regenerates itself. So when people speak of hydration consider HA.

Well Alfred, I love your posts and at 83 years young, I listen to what you have to say. Sometimes it's hard to read how a product, whether outward or inward is making someone look so young when I get to the end of the article and they say they're 29! Easy to look 19 when you're 29! But you! You sound like a live wire! Anyway, I ordered the HA from your source you recommended because of all you had to say but in addition, to what Ted just wrote in regards to how it lubricates the body.

Always looking forward to your posts, Lisa

I tried taking hyaluronic acid a few years back in hopes that it would add moisture to my skin that had become dry from menopause. I had a severe allergic reaction. I had not seen real benefits and in fact felt it made my skin feel too soft and without enough strength and integrity to it. Anyways, I went to a football game after taking one I believe 20mg capsule and it was raining out that day. i broke out in lumps that itched on my face just like a giant cold sore or rash. I had 2 large ones. I do not recommend this stuff.

There appears to be to ways of producing it, one from rooster comb and another from bacteria. One could try the one produced by bacteria to see if the same reaction occurs..& yes, there are several reports of allergic reactions/rash similar to your account. Long term use of this supplement is unknown, as with many...so taking breaks for a while would side on caution.

Birdy sorry about bad taste you had with HA.. Hard for me to believe that happened.. When we are born.. our body is Loaded with HA.. As we get older Ha disappears slowly.. It shows in white hair, liver spots on back of hand, skin barnicles of different kinds..

The HA pill you took with 20mg.. Was it outdated(old). Not kept in the fridge.., did you have the pill a long time, or maybe when you purchased it, it was outdated.

If you only have a skin problem, maybe best to get a cream.

Stay well.. I care a lot about people
Alfred

Lisa.. your one kind caring Person..Helping people along the way with positive feeling and positive words. You take your time and help those in need.

Is Lake Piru in your area. took my kids fishing and camping there in the 60"s before you were born. Rolling hills, lots of Oak trees..Stay well. Thanks for your kind words to me.

My Best

Hi Alfred,

Thank you for your kind words. I have spent so many years and so much time in my own search that it is my hope that I can help others with what I have learned and continue to learn. If we empower ourselves, we can empower others. Then we can raise humankind up and we are unstoppable! We have reached a critical mass of ill people and I believe people are beginning to reach out to find answers outside of mainstream medicine.

We have Deirdre to thank for this amazing site with people who need answers and those who have found some. Thank
you too for I have learned from you also.

As for Lake Piru, it is not far from here and actually I was living in the San Fernando valley through the 60's!

Be well and blessings to you,
Lisa

Hello, I read Ted's post on HA & he mixed 500mg with 9gms salt in 500cc water & then said to take "8 caps" per day. As this is a liquid, what does he mean by 'caps'? Thank you, Robert

Next time you buy vitamins.. Ask yourself.. will they dissolve under 20 min? I have been doing the TED test.. If the pill does not dissolve in under 20 min. I will return them..This will make the seller of vit. aware that what they are selling is not good. Years Ago when i had a toilet problem.. the plumber took toilet out.. i said to him what is all that stuff down there ,looks like ants. He said Vitamins.. most of the Vit. come out the same way they go in. Then, I did not believe him.. but after giving the Vit. the TED test.. I believe the plumber. Yes, are saving money on vitamins. How did i find the Vitamin that is working for me. From P. Products..From A paper back book called "WHATS BEST" in vitamins. it listed.. In book it listed 45 vit. Makers. I tried the 3 top ones. 1. took 4 pills daily. 2. took 6 pills daily, 3. took 14 pills daily.. I settled with the number 1 pill maker. Their pill dissolves in 12 min. I agree the pills are pricey.. but if they work, which they do..that great. but you buy a cheaper ones, the pill does not work.. Money down the drain. If you can not afford the #1 pill.. buy anyway and take 1/2 of dose daily..Now its cheaper and you know it works. Pills are cheaper than Doctors.. Good health worth more than money.

I Care
Alfred

I recently read the post regarding the dissolve test to check your vitamins. So of course, I went home and performed the test. Of the 4 I tested, only my Vitamin C didn't make it! I love this website!!!

Hi Alfred-

A while back I understood that you may have said the the high quality product you bought of Hyaluronic Acid did not contain magnesium stearate, but when I go to their website it does contain this ingredient. I would like to find something without this added ingredient. Is this possible?

Kind Regards....

To Robert from Martinez Ca. In previous posts, Ted has said "Caps" when referring to liquid and he has had to clarify he means a capful (the amount that a cap can hold). They're usually a standard size ... from a 2L soda bottle or a water bottle, for example. I hope this helps you.

Hello Hope.. Yes, i found a Pill that has NO MAGNESIUM STEARATE.. Hylastin.(Hyaluronic Acid & Omega -3 ) has No Magnesium Stearate. From P products. Stay well my friend in California.

I Care
Alfred

Hi Alfred -

Thanks so very much for your quick response! It is very much appreciated and also your delightful radiance of Being!

Best to You-
Hope

Why Does HA pills work so Well

Good Day the World of Great human Beings.. We, you and me. Lets talk HA.. it suppose to turn our years back a bit.Why Does P.Products works so well and produce amazing results.. I know many of you have available to the HA powder.. But that does not work alone.. It has to be mixed with other ingredients to be absorbed into the body system. This is what P. Products is mixing in.

1. Antoxidant stabilizers
|2. Absorption Assimilators
3. I-p6
4. Vitamin C
5.Quercetin

I will give my update June 4th.. after 4 months of taking HA.. Interesting whats happening.. Just listen to your body.
See you on the 4th..Meanwhile think Positive, Think your feeling great.. if your feeling great, you will be great.

I Care
Alfred

Well, it's June 5, 2010 and I am awaiting Alfred's updates. I am in a defensive state about this PP company. I have read several complaints from dissatisfied customers. However; I have noticed where one can order the products from Amazon.com and could potentially avoid direct contact with PP. If I am somehow missing Alfred's post, that was suppose to be posted on June 4, 2010...would someone please direct me to it's location. Thanks!

Wow! Hi Ted, great stuff about the HA and degenerative disc. I had written in before with a question about my moms degenrative disc. I guess you were busy, but I am glad I found this tonight! Even though she has had surgery already, the Doctor told her that all of her disc were degenerating. All those cat scans, just to tell her, well you're going to have pain and you're going to have to learn to deal with it and another surgery could be a future possablity. Well, let's hope not!

I do have a question though and I think someone else did to. When you say CAPS, would this be from a regular liter of drinking water. I know that 500cc is half a liter, but are you talking about just like the caps on soda and water bottles?

I also have two comments to Earth Clinic. First and for most THANK YOU! Second you should put this info on the degenerative disc section and also on Ted's latest questions, because there have been some questions from others on there about degenerative disc there and Ted did not get a chance to answer them.

Thank you all,
Phil

I am still confused. . . What is the actual product from Purity Alfred is using? He says he is using "Ultimate HA", but when I search their site for Hyaluronic Acid, I find three products:

*HA Joint Formula
*Ultimate EYE Formula
*OmegaBerry Super Formula with Vitamin D & Acai

I know he also mentioned Hylastin, which I was able to find. Which product is the one both he and others on EC have been using to such great effect? Or have people been using the brand from Ted's posts (Purebulk, I think)?

I've been having significant and worsening joint pain, and would like to try this out since I've been using way more Ibuprofen than I'd like to. Thanks!!!

Sorry but where is "best sellers" supposed to be? I don't see it on the home page. I would also appreciate this information as I found it confusing
thank you

E.C., That link takes us to the Purity's website, but I would like to know where the "Best Sellers" list is on the Home Page for future reference.

Thanks so much,
Kay

Bill,

* Mega-Vitamin C Dosages with Lysine
Bill, how often do you do this a month ? How many times a day ? How many hours in between dosage? Thanks!

Hi Peter...Regarding my own dosage of Vitamin C and lysine, I usually take this on its own between meals. I also take the more alkaline sodium ascorbate form of Vitamin C (which is normally sold as Ascorbic Acid). Since this is a preventative against heart disease and arteriosclerosis in particular, my own dosage is 3 grams of Vit C per day, but this can be increased to 6 grams or more if required. I split these doses into 3 doses a day. With the 3 grams of Vit C I also take exactly the same amount of of lysine -- 3 grams.

Here is a link to an mp3 audio recording of Linus Pauling himself advising on the proper dose of Lysine/Vit C to take for good heart maintenance:

Linus Pauling's Recommendations

And here is Linus Pauling talking again of how he helped three other people with bad heart and arteriosclerosis problems using Vitamin C/Lysine therapy:

Linus Pauling's Success Stories

Another reason I take Vit C/Lysine is that, according to Ted, this treatment is also effective against tumour cancers (fungal) as well as being effective against the flu and cold virus and other problems.

My own dosage just acts as a preventative against heart disease and an immune booster if you like.

Bill would you recommend that a person take everything separately and not use a multi-vitamin, or should all these be taken in addition to a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement? Also is there a link as to maybe your daily diet and incorporating all your supplements for morning, noon and night? Thank you so much for your posts!!

Hi Cindy I have craved sugar most of my life and have just got on top of it and I just used the protocol using Hydrogen Peroxide or H202 to get rid of candida albicans. Kind regards Gazza

I have books upon books. The best is Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis I say it's the bible for health. Easy to read & understand..

Why do you allow a shameless plug for a book like this, but you won't allow someone to post a book as a supporting reference in a post? Please be consistent and delete the "favorite health book" thread or allow people to post books as supporting references for their posts.

Hi Citygirl27, I think you are mistaken. I have referenced books on here in the past with no problem. If I am mistaken, I appologize. I do know that I have referenced a book or two with no issues though.

Hi Slim2483, It's funny you should mention this book because I just brought it up the other day. My mom read and referenced it religiously when I was very young and growing up. My mom had terrible bladder and kidney issues and they were afraid she'd lose a kidney. Well, she was determined not to and a friend gave her Adele Davis' books. I recall "Let's Get Well" the most. She also would do yoga with a man on tv who was named Richard Hittleman. Hardly anyone at the time here in the US knew much about yoga. It was all very unusual at the time and some people thought my mom was just silly. Well, she saved her kidney, we learned a lot about nutrition and vitamins and it had a great influence on me. The other great thing is almost 50 years later, things Adele Davis said and recommended are considered completely normal by most people today! And look how many people do yoga and don't give even it a second thought- it's a household word! Best to you, Lisa

I wanted to give this recommendation for those interested in Chinese herbs/medicine. This is an ancient tradition/art and one which many westerners are unaware of. I have been using them for years and have had really miraculous experiences through their use but, I think many people are at a loss of where to resource them. There are two quite amazing companies that offer the very finest Chinese remedies/tonics and herbs. They are shamanshack.info who creates traditional remedies from Chinese herbs and are tonifying to the body. He offers the raw herbs in combinations that you brew teas from and then drink. They are extremely effective. The other is called DragonHerbs and they have all sorts of formulas but mostly in capsule form with some teas. They are much more pricey though. If Chinese medicine is something that interests you and you would like to educate yourself on it, both sites offer excellent books which I have read. I hope this information can help someone. Peace, Lisa
