Here is my best list for herbs/natural chemicals that I use on a daily, weekly or monthly basis:
* Supplementing Magnesium and Using Transdermal Magnesium
I both supplement with with Magnesium(mag gluconate) as well as use it on my body with a garden sprayer after showers -- a very easy way to keep your magnesium levels up. I use Epsom Salts(mag sulphate) or magnesium chloride for this form. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzyme processes in your body and most people are deficient in Magnesium. The most effective all round mag supplement appears to be Magnesium Chloride.
* Ted's Alkalizing Remedies
I mainly use the Lime/Lemon remedies with BS or just BS alone in water as a very effective body alkalizer -- probably the best there is. I also use the ACV plus BS in the mornings to stimulate digestion and for energy. These alkalizing remedies were a major factor that helped to cure my own candida. I use them all regularly even now.
Borax
I take Borax internally and use it on my skin regularly to minimize fungus build up in and on my body. Very effective. Also helps to balance the body's hormones and good for your bones.
* Hydrogen Peroxide
Inhalation useful for colds, flu, sore throat onset and against general lung infections. Also a good energizer/pick-me-up. I also take one capful 3% HP in a litre of water to clear out and flush my lymph glands on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on how I feel. I also use it to disinfect my ear, nose and throat(I use a 1.5% HP for this) regularly.
* Iodine Foot/Throat Painting
Easiest way to supplement iodine -- you can use lugol's, iodine tincture or even povidone iodine for this. I just paint it on my feet, twice a week. I use iodine to strengthen my immune system and also to help leech out flourine, bromine and chlorine from my body.
* Mega-Vitamin C Dosages with Lysine
I'm over 60 y o, and this is simply a preventative against build up of arterial plaque around the heart arteries. Arteriosclerosis and heart disease are one of modern society's greatest plagues. This remedy involves taking doses of between 2-4 GRAMS Vit C (as ascorbate) plus the same dose of lysine on a frequent basis as per the Pauling Therapy. This dosage is also strongly anti-viral, anti-fungal and immuno-stimulating as well as being good for the heart. This therapy, in much larger doses, is also recommended(together with aspirin) by Ted against both cancer, flu, colds and other problems.
* Protease Enzymes -- with Bromelain, Papain etc.
Taken as a digestive supplement and as an aid to my immune system when necessary. Papain and Bromelain have the added advantage of being able to work in both an acid or alakaline medium. Protease enzymes also clear up the bloods "debris" -- including heavy metals, viruses and bacteria, in support of the immune system.
* Methylene Blue plus Vit C
The best pick-me-up or energizer that works for me. Also a deep acting anti-fungal that used to be used as a malaria remedy in the past. Vit C must always be taken with MB because it tends to stain the whites of your eyes blue, and turns urine green. Very effective, no side-effects when taken with Vit C.
* Sodium Thiosulphate -- Getting Rid of Heavy Metals
I use this several times a month to leech out any heavy metals from my body. Can be bought very cheaply at any aquarium store. Also used in regular medicine, in much larger quantities, to flush out the dangerous heavy metals that are used so often in cancer chemo. ST also seems to help with insomnia.
Virgin Coconut Oil
I used this this as well against my candida problem. Very effective against constipation. I simply cook with VCO and will not use anything else now. I also use it regularly on my skin.
* My Own Herbal Remedy to Fortify the Organs, Intestines and Immune System
Now consists of a decoction of Tinosora cordifolia(Gudduchi, Giloya), Chanca Piedra(Phyllanthus niruri, Bhumia Amalaki), Tumeric and Neem leaves -- all of which grow in my garden area. Excellent protective support for liver, kidney, intestines and blood. Contains strong immune boosters. I take this decoction about once every month for 10 days.
* Using Herbs as an Absorbtion Synergist
I have used garlic, pepper and Vit C as absorbtion synergists for other herbs/minerals. But my favourite is, without doubt, Cayenne which has the ability of simultaneously causing body-wide vasodilation, while making the heart beat more efficiently without raising the blood pressure. I've just created an alcoholic tincture of cayenne, which was disappointing -- so I have reverted back to my one mashed African chili pepper, soaked and strained, in a glass of water taken regularly. In the many articles that I've read on cayenne, several simply describe that cayenne is a cleansing "heart food".
I'm currently trying to locate a good vitamin c source herb -- the Indian Gooseberry or Emblica officinalis -- to complete my own herbal remedy. I know it grows in my area, but it is being very illusive !!
