Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Rick: The reason why ibuprofen (or ibuprophen) works is that it is antifungal. Much of the arthritis and foot pain from bones is the mycobacterium, and other fungus like bacterium. Therefore I would take a 1/4 teaspoon (men's dose) borax for about 5 days out of a week, with some 10 drops of 3% H2O2 in one liter of drinking water. I would also take plenty of magnesium supplements such as magnesium citrate 250-500 mg/day for 5 days out of a week. I may also consider taking vitamin B complex, at least a B50 kind (50 mg of most B's) for two days out of a week. Alkalization is important also necessary to kill these fungus causing arthritis and a good remedy may be 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water twice a day, or perhaps a 2 tablespoon lime juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water (at least) taken twice a day. Other supplements I may consider is 20,000 i.u. of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 or K3. Soy milk is quite helpful for arthritis, perhaps from the vitamin K and the manganese, in which it is high in. A soy milk should be UNSUGARED and taken about 250 cc, twice a day, which is more like a glass of it twice a day. "

06/07/2007: "Hi Ted, I have some calcium lumps on some of my fingers. In one of your e-mails I read that you mentioned if they were calcium lumps or skin lumps, how can you tell? I would also like to know if I can reverse some of the lumps on some of my fingers. I understand that they didn't get there overnight and that it will take some time for them to go away, but can they go away? Also I know that I have a high level of acidity in my body. Please what do you suggest I do and what can I take to help my condition. I went ahead and read the email posted on your Earth Clinic Website. But it's a little bit confusing. Should I take baking soda and also apple cider vinegar or What else can I take, should I take some supplements and which ones would help me? Please write me back with your suggestions, my boss at work also does clelation. But it's not covered through my insurance so can I take the EDTA pills and the DMSO pills"Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Hand arthritis is the condition of the mycoplasma and the mycobacterium and they exists because it eats the bones causing lumps of the bones around the end. The mycobacterium protects themselves against the effect of antibiotics and other things by creating a calcium shells to survive. The second kind of bacterium that caused the fusing of joints such that the fingers can no longer move, is due to a staphylococcus like bacteria that eats up the cartilage between the joints. Mycobacterium have their weakness of a tiny amount of borax and staphyloccocus have their weakness of magnesium. Borax I took maybe 2-3 times a week at 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon in a liter of drinking water. The staphyloccus like bacteria (cartilage eating kind) have a weakness for magnesium. So 250 mg, is diluted in a glass of water and drink that usually 5 days out of a week. The removal of iron, which disodium EDTA can be taken in fairly diluted solution (mixed with plenty of water), as this is how the body actually absorbed it. Green tea contains tannins and tannic acid, which chelates directly the free metal iron directly responsible for feeding both mycobacterium and the staphyloccocus like bacteria around the joint and should remove the food source. The most important remedy, whether you use the apple cider vinegar with baking soda, or the lemon with baking soda, is actually the baking soda. But when mixed with the others, allows for the body to attain better alkalization. This is the major parts of the arthritis remedy that was tested to work the best. Other supporting remedies include vitamin D3, and vitamin K2, and soy milk (manganese). They all help and you can feel the difference the next day. There are others, and I am looking into them I write. This remedy works better than anything I have seen, after lots of trial and error of course. It must be remembered that urine pH achieves 7.0 otherwise the bacteria will persist in the body. Preferably an electronic pH meters is best, otherwise, most pH papers are way off even the best quality ones and it is a real waste of time - it wasted me one whole year (actually more, like 1.5) of misdirected effort."

05/20/2007: Lori writes: "Hi Ted, Thanks for all your help! I LOVE this website. I have told my whole family about it and they love it too. My problem is that I have what they call traumatic arthritis in my big toe. The orthopaedic surgeon told me that I needed either a total joint replacement or fusion. Do you think there is anything else that I can do. He says that I have bone to bone and no joint left. I have been taking ACV with baking soda for a couple of days and just started taking a supplement that has msm, condroitin sulfates and glucosamine. Thanks again if you do get the time to respond and if not I still love all you do for people!"Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Lori: It has been known for ages that arthritis is a rare occurence whenever boron is found present in drinking water. Israel for example has below 1% having arthritis due to high boron in drinking water. Most drinking water with high boron, are the form of sodium tetraborate, which is borax. For more detailed discussion about boron and arthritis:
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/06/08/boron_and_arthritis.htm
What is so strange is boron and fluoride are a somewhat opposing force. For example, if you take boron fluoride is removed from the body. Actually fluoride stunts growth in plants, animals the same way as does aluminum. If I were a farmer the biggest enemies are to livestock and plants are fluoride and aluminum. I tend to believe the cause of most arthritis to be one of microorganisms found along the joints. Those bacteria are of mycoplasma (from frequent vaccinations, since they are high in it), mycobacterium, and staphylococcus. Each of these tend to form colonies around the cartilage, before they ever get worse. The factor that helps their growth are high free metal iron, lack of boron, high sugar, high calcium which protects the colonies. Staphylococcus is a unique bacteria that digests your cartilage, something they call proteoglycan and once the cartilage or out the other bacteria does the other work in digesting the along the joints rich in calcium, iron, and lack of circulation, being to their advantage as they are anaerobic creatures. The only way to reverse the condition depends on the inital condition of the arthritis, if it is just joint pain in the beginning like mine, it will take me a couple of days. For you it could take a lot longer for the healing. The method of treatment is to kill off these microorganism and it won't be easy since it is to an advanced stage due to traumatic arthritis. However, an average dose I think are appropriate are 25 mg of borax in drinking water, or I can just do it another way around with 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of borax in one liter of drinking water that is drank in divided dose throughout the day. I would drink it either twice a week or once a week. What borax does is it kills the mycobacterium, mycoplasma and some of the staph. The frequency of dose, mentioned here is conservative and it taken at least once or twice a week. In event there's no side effect if I take it to be observed, I would try to take it more often maybe up to 3 or 4 times a week maximum. Staphyloccocus weaknesses is of magnesium citate or magnesium gluconate 250/mg day. If the body has plentiful supplies of magnesium staph growth along the joint is limited. Taking this at 5 days out of a week should be sufficient and some vitamin C sodium ascorbate 250 mg at least about 5 days out of a week should also help.
I have always had problems getting rid of the free metal iron that exists along the joints feeding the microbial growth, in which case, chlorella capsules taken once a day maybe helpful. Green tea, unsugared or any tea that are not of black color would be high in tannins. Tannins have an affinity of pulling out some iron out of the body. Once the iron is lowered, the microbial growth is limited. In case if you want to look at other minerals, gettin some hair mineral analysis, and have a look especially on the Molybdenum, Cobalt, Iron, Silver, Iodine, Magnesium, boron and some others. Those are the suspect minerals that seem to encourage or discourage microbial growth. For example, silver or colloidal silver, taken everyday, one tablespoon twice a day for several months will encourage stem cells in the body, but the best thing of all is it seems to destroy the "slime" or biofilms along the joints. If those are destroyed, the microbes have no way of surviving and eating up your joints. Another example is molybdenum supplements should be taken, if you can find them! They discourage bacterium growth on the bones and it actually used to prevent cavities if added in toothpaste. Molybdenum is far safer than fluoride as it is an essential mineral as well, helping the remineralization of the bones and teeth, being one of them. The usual dose I think is between 5-10 mg per day, if you can find them!
It is important also to at least take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid, in 1/2 glass of water, or 8 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda twice a day to keep the body in an alkaline mode. The reason is bacteria and their biofilms tend to exists in the medium of pH below 6. So if the body's urinary pH is raised to (by increasing baking soda dose) to about 7, then the growth will be limited, and this encourages healing of your joint. Certain proteins taken befor sleep may encourage some growth hormone by taking secretagogues, such as 1/2 tablespoon of glycine and 1/2 tablespoon of glutamine, before bedtime. This might help some regeneration. Once the microbes are destroyed, and you still need to take supplements to disourage their growth, still, taking certain supplements to encourage regeneration is possible with aloe vera oil, or aloe vera supplements. Comfrey poultice applied along the joints may help as allantoin content is known to encourage bone repair in people with broken bones, so joint healing may also be possible. I however prefer to take allantoin as a supplements maybe 10-50 mg/day might help too, with some aloe vera. As for me, my arthritis issue is never a serious one, just taking some borax 1/4 teaspoon for 1-2 days and on the third day and the rest of the week, its gone. That's because I know what is causing my problems. But with severe forms, it may take several months, to almost a year to actually heal what has happened. I don't believe so much in using metal joint replacement. It has been my observation that friends of my relatives who did joint replacement further cause the ones to be broken. Apparently the found that once the plug the joints, the mycobacterium ate away at the screws of the joints which attaches to the bone. When this happens, the joints no longer hold and it osteoporosis eats the entire bone where there is no furhter place in which the metal can support the bones, since there is no more bones to support it. It is a sort of Catch-22. The real issue, I believe is not the wear an tear. Its been known for ages that microbes eat away on your bones, but is ignored by mainstream medicine, at least, that's my opinion only. If the body still have regenerative capacity, your body can heal, and colloidal silver according to Dr. Robert Becker, has the ability to cause cells to be dedifferentiation - which is another word for stem cells."

03/26/2007: Felix writes: "I read all the comments here about the wonders of ACV, magensium and alkalina diet to cure or at least minimize arthritis. But i'm also confused because i do not understand what acidity has to do with arthritis, some say i should stay away from acidic foods such as raw tomatoes, starches, pastries and other processed food. Can anyone explain to me why all those foods cause arthritis? I would like to get to the source of the problem and not just relieve myself from hip pain, i had that for few years now and only 22. This winter is a disaster, some mornings i have to struggle to get our of bed, and obviosuly realize that something in my body is screwed up. People recommend various remedies, and i would like to try whatever it takes to cure my pains. But i need to know what exactly i'm doing. Am i having these pains because of vitamins and minerals deficiency? I didn't always eat fruits and vegeables, would that be the main cause? My diet? Does chlorine in the tap water affect my bones? I would greatly appreciate a detailed explanation and perhaps advice on how should i approach this very serious matter with all the remedies inlisted here and other sources. Thank you."Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Felix: Basically the cause of arthritis that is little known to the public is the issue of mycobacteria, which is a microbe that is fungus like and exists in the cartilage between the joints. The tend to grow there causing pain. Israel have some of the lowest arthritis level due to high boron in their drinking water. In some other regions of the world, people who are not exposed to the sun such as during winter also get severe arthritis, usually due to the vitamin D levels being low. A healthy body can easily produce 10,000 i.u. of vitamin D in full sun. Certain vitamins apparently have antifungal properties (anti-mycobacterium) such as vitamins D and vitamin K.
The biological terrain parameters for a these arthritis causing microbes is they grow well in high acidity, high heavy metals (in particular high free metal iron) and when the body's immune system is low. A 60 year old person will produce only 1/6 the level of vitamin D as a young person. And borax, or boron mineral have anti fungus properties as well, which in effect reduces arthritis.
Therefore the remedy for arthritis is alkaline such as at least taking baking soda 1/4 teaspoon taken twice a day, or a more complete one such as 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. This will raise the pH to alkaline weakening the fungus and mycobacterium cellular structure.
Taking vitamin D, and vitamin K is used as treatment for osteoporosis, but at the same time it helps considerably in reducing pain associated with arthritis. I should know since my own mother has it. The usual dose of vitamin D especially for people who really need it who is not out in the sun or especially during the winter is usually between 2000 i.u. to 10,000 i.u. at least. I take them myself but at about 20,000 i.u. but I don't take them everyday, only when I have cloudy vision (cataract), or arthritic pain. But this is not the only thing I find that taking some borax is very helpful as a boron supplements, such as 1/8 teaspoon per liter of drinking water dividing up the dose over the course of a day. I may take more, but 1/8 is the best one. Usually it is taken for say 3 or 4 days out of a week for men, while for woman maybe once a week or twice a week such as every three days. The dose depends really on how the body responds, such as reduced arthritic pains the next day. The one supplements that helped me the most for my arthritic pains is the borax, followed closely by vitamin D and alkalizing. For vitamin D to work the best, since it increase serum calcium to be higher than normal is for me to take about 250 mg/day of magnesium chloride (or appropriate magnesium supplements such as magnesium citrate, magnesium gluconate).
The level of antioxidants in the body is also naturally increased when the body is in a more alkaline state. If you have your ORP meters handy (Oxidation Reduction Potential) and measure the urine pH also, the antioxidant level is raised by at least 20-30% depending on what your initial pH was and the ending. Of course this is just the average for most people. Antioxidant is seen as protective.
There is some observation that people with arthritis also has high level of free iron between the joints and they also serve as food to the mycobacterium. In that case coriander or chinese parsley eaten regularly will reduce the heavy metal burden throughout the body. Oil pulling is also seen helpful, if the primary target to remove heavy metals in your body, then I think olive oil is generally the best based on my own observations. You are free to use any other oils as heavy metals are oil soluble, the use of heavy metals pulls out the metals from the body, thus slowly reducing the heavy metal burden in the body.
As to which diets will help you the most in reducing arthritic pain, is obvious that avoiding certain foods are most helpful. Since microbes which cause arthritis tend to grow best with high heavy metals and fried foods sponge up a lot of heavy metals, avoiding fried foods, and oily foods would help the most. The second issue is the high sugar foods where mycobacterium tends to grow best in presence of high sugar foods such as as corn syrup (fructose), sucrose (sugar) and white flour. These the most obvious ones, besides bad habits of smoking, drinking and a few others.
I place little restrictions on what you can or cannot eat, but I prefer most people to avoid certain foods is a better option toward lessening arthritic pains in general. Foods that are alkaline forming are generally seen as green leafy vegetables, whole fruits now and then, some watermelon, seeds, cranberry, and sometimes if necessary whole wheat.
Avoiding anything white such as white sugar, white flour, fast food, devoid of any mineral are generally acid forming, even the common salt. Use sea salt instead, as they are generally alkaline with their pH averaging between 7.5 to 8.5, which is better than the common salt. Also, sea salts provides general micro mineral balance found in nature that processed foods is lacking."

ALKALINE DIET RECOMMENDATIONS?
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Jeannine: Popcorn is quite toxic due to the packaging which contains fluoridated compounds (flurotelemer) that seeps in, it is high in carbohydrate (acid),and the butter they use is trans-fatty acid (which destroys your liver function). And often some packages of popcorn have aluminum, which is toxic to the brain. The protein from popcorn are incomplete. Taking whey protein would be more ideal. Pellagra disease is often associated with lack of bioavailability of corn on amino acid tryptophan, therefore the body cannot convert this to vitamin B3, or niacin. Well, popcorn has a long and sordid history of health problems. For me I would stay away due to higher than average carbohydrate.
Do you know if humus is allowed? It's one of my favorites and I can't find anything that indicates it's a food I should say away from.
I am taken to mean it Humus is an arabic food using chick peas, olive oil, sesame paste, hard boiled eggs, and pita bread. Pita bread is relatively high in glycemic index. But other things appear o.k. with exception of hard boiled eggs be modified to partially boiled eggs where the yolk is still liquid. You MIGHT get around the problems of restrictive alkaline diets by taking in more protein whose source will be only from fish and whey protein. They are a bit less acid forming and less likely to interfere with your arthritis and they have Omega 3 fatty acid, which is helpful with arthritis. The absolute key is reducing the sugars and fats, in particular vegetable oils. Alkaline diets usually helps, but you can make modifications and see if that works. Avoid microwave cooking, you eat neurotoxic proteins and trans-fatty acid and alien protein when you do that. Microwave cooking alters the molecular structure of proteins, DNA, and RNA. It is like having your own genetically modified foods using microwave technology. And with the miracles of horizontal gene transfer (nature exchanges DNA all the time with the food we eat), your DNA makeup can change just eating these. Arthitis will get worse with that kind of cooking."

ALKALINE DIET RECOMMENDATIONS?
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "An alkaline food diet is very important. Many foods we eat are quite acid. Our body needs alkaline foods. It is difficult to be on an alkaline foods as they are not as tempting as the acid foods. I get into this problem all the time! They are one of the causes arthritis. Just remember that high glycemic diets (carbohydrates, grain, flour, and sweets) are quite acid. I have a question about the make-at-home body alkalizer (baking soda, citric acid potassium...) you recommended. How do I take this? As a powder or a liquid? In water? Mix everything in water in a full glass or half glass of water. There are two ways to mix it. one way is to add citric acid first then baking soda until a precipitates start forming then I stop. Then I add a pinch of potassium and magnesium to the mix. Another way is to add the baking soda first, then keep adding the citric acid,stir until the baking soda precipitates disappear. Then add a pinch of potassium and magnesium. The water will fizz. Wait for a couple of minutes until the fizz is down. Then drink it down on an empty stomach. Wait until all the liquids are in the intestines. Do not eat for at least an hour or two. If you eat immediately this will usually cause loose stools. The alkaline and the salts in your foods don't mix well. Of course if you want to cure constipation, that is another matter."

06/03/2006: Jeannine writes: "I noticed a small calcium lump (I'm assuming that's what it is) on the knuckle of my pinky (left, my twisting hand). Any ideas to melt away this lump? The small rash on my back is also getting better. This rash, in the past, remained persistently aggravated. Question. I'm taking the high dose Atomodine referenced in the E Cayce readings. Do you know anything about these high dose iodine treatments? Is it ok to combine the supplements and the Atomodine? I don't want to overdo it."Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Melting the calcium on the twisting hand is quite a challenge, it took many years for this lump to come up, assuming of course this is from your bones, not from the skin.
This is due to a long term vitamin D, magnesium and in my opinion, L-Carnosine deficiency. Taking these three over a somewhat longer period will reduce it, but not instantly melt away. However, getting your energy back is relatively simple, the bones just takes more time. The fastest way I know is perhaps buy a book and practice Quantum Touch, or get a Quantum Touch practitioner to melt this calcium issue. Quantum touch is a strange healing, in that it corrects your bones deformities rather quickly, especially in the spine area, but can be helpful with your hands. Of course it will take a couple of months (if you can) to get that down to a point that you are happy with too. Quantum touch has its origin (the author avoids this reference) from Eastern Medicine called Qigong, but since this is rather involved, just in case you are wondering.
As to Edgar Cayce's recommendation on Atomidine, the chemical compound is known as Iodine Trichloride, which is an extremely water soluble compound in water making the likelihood of an overdose quite difficult. In the field of chemistry, most "salts" or chloride compound are water soluble and usually such excess are rid of by the body in due time, reducing the possibility of overdose somewhat.
I tend to be quite conservative with my views and a minimum use of Atomidine would be not to exceed one week if done everyday. If you go beyond one week you can try it once a week or once a month should be sufficient. For me I prefer once a week is a good estimate that should prevent such overdose.
Practically all of Edgar Cayce's remedy are side-effect free if you follow his instructions and the strict specification of the product he recommends. By the way, most of energy coming back, at least for me is usually DHEA and magnesium, in case you are wondering what specific supplements are responsible. Some can just see energy coming back with a simple baking soda+ citric acid (plus tiny pinch of potassium & magnesium helps) before bedtime also."

05/30/2006: Jeannine writes: "Do you have any ideas or suggestions about my hand and how to reverse the ravages of arthritis? As I mentioned before, my hand has started to twist to the side and it's very weak in comparison to my right hand. Jeannine"Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "There are several supplements which will help arthritis, while it is not perfect, it is due to long term deficiency and to reverse it will take some time. However, a quick cure that I have seen, well at least from the pain and ability to move hands is the use of vitamin B complex plus aspirin. Both my parents used this whenever hands become immobile. However, over the past couple of decades research has come up with other that is also helpful that will complement the conditions. This includes the use of MSM (Methyl sulfonyl methane).
MSM has an interesting history, in the field of arthritis and the most well known is James Coburn the actor who tried to treat arthritis for year and was actually cured using it. And of course, as media and big business would have it, they silenced him about what supplements he used to cure arthritis. What MSM really does is quite interesting, (as well as chelation using EDTA), in that the cause of "cross linked" collagen - a more complicated language of wrinkled skin! Is in fact due to two conditions, excess blood sugar and heavy metals causes the skin and joints to be inflexible. Therefore, taking MSM and possibly DMSO (they stink) will restore and rid the body of aluminum and heavy metals which causes it.
If there is possibility of high blood sugar, simply go on a diet of low glycemic indexed food. That means sugar free diet, especially away from sugar, softdrinks, pastries, and high fat. In fact eating high fats especially fried food can really shoot up the insulin and sugar that causes arthritis. The other findings is that boron supplements will help arthritis is well known in normalizing calcium and magnesium ratios. Vitamin D3 is very helpful for arthritis too. Taking chicken collagen (the cartilage from young chickens breastbone) you can get from Knox chicken gelatin, I think and also helpful. Collagen is what keeps your body from falling apart.
Last but not least, try to get some aloe vera oil and evening primrose oil. You need only to apply on your hands once every 3-4 days and your skin should be improved. The other simple way is plain old vinegar. Applying it to the hands should help the skin at least restore some suppleness. I don't know why it does this, but I suspect it removes some calcium buildup and heavy metals from the skin. You should see the results somewhat the next day for comparison purposes. Vitamin C is also important for collagen synthesis also and taking this with vitamin E and fish oils, can also help the joints movement and reduce some pain too. A newer way is to try DHEA, this will restore your skin entirely, but if you just want it for your hands, then perhaps try to get a tablet of DHEA and mix that with vitamin E for example and apply to your hands. THis might help and in fact there actually a DHEA hand cream somewhere, but you don't need to go get it, just make a simple one as mentioned here. I must mentioned a little bit about vitamin D3 or vitamin D4 (higher quality) in that certain conditions of arthritis is in fact a vitamin D deficiency. What kinds of vitamin you use can make a difference, a preferred one, if you can get one is D4, however it appears that in U.S. you require a prescription. At a place where I live I cannot obtain this, so I just went with the lower quality vitamin D2, and the usual dose at least for my friends and relative is 20,000 I.U. per day for only 30 days, then stop. There is growing evidence that colloidal silver is helpful to arthritis. But once you are "cured", you need to stop using it. Now why does colloidal silver cure arthritis? Will a little unknown reason that most people do not know is that in presence of silver the cells de-differentiated, in simple language, it is an equivalent of creating stem cells. Now once they become de-differentiated, the cells can regenerate the arthritis conditions. If you fear of agyria from silver use, then after you gotten better, just take plenty of vitamin C, E, and selenium. They will generally remove the agyria problem for some people who do have it. I couldn't cover everything about arthritis, but this is just the major ways to deal with it."
