SKIN LUMPS AFTER CANCER AND HEART ATTACKS
01/22/2009: Safari from Spring Lake, NC writes: "dear Ted, my boyfriend has several lumps under the skin of his arms and a couple on his stomach area (up high) what could this be? he had two heart attacks in his early twentys and had cancer six years ago. I bug him about them but he ignors me. hes 42 now in pretty good shape but doesnt do the things we all know we should do like drink water (he only drinks coffee!) and hates veggies. I am the total opposite and cant fathom how to help.. thankyou"
03/16/2009: Juan from West Covina, California, USA replies: "Your boyfriend exhibits progrowth symptoms leading to a cancer tumor. He should follow your advice to drink a lot of water everyday because dehydration could cause a lot of disease in the body. Some of the things he should do right away:
1. Change into a healthy diet --- 70-80% raw vegetables, no coffee, sugar and meat.
2. Detoxify his body --- colon, liver, gall bladder and kidney to start with.
3. Kill the rapidly-growing pathogens in his body --- try using oregano oil, colloidal silver or Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS). The cheapest and most effective is MMS.
4. He should start taking responsibility over his own health."

QUESTION ABOUT A 20 YEAR OLD BOIL
03/11/2008: Charlotte from Baltimore, USA writes: "I had a boil on the side of my face about 20 years ago. It left a scar and a little hole where it finally came to a head and burst. About 2 times a year the same spot will get very hard and inflammed. By applying a great deal of pressure to it, I can get it to excrete a stinky dark brown material. I keep the pressure on until the spot softens and no more material comes out. I then clean it with peroxide. Is this a continuous boil? I am interested in trying the tumeric, but I want to be sure it's a boil and not something else. I haven't seen anything on the posts with the kind of discharge that I push out of this "thing" which is nothing like puss."

12/30/2007: G from Buffalo, NY writes: "How many mg are in 1 tsp. of turmeric?' (I am using the spice/product I found on the shelf in the grocery store.) The recommended dosage I found on-line is 250 - 500 mg per day. How do I figure out the mg's? The label does not specify servings per container."

HOW EFFECTIVE IS TEA TREE OIL FOR BOILS?
11/12/2007: Julianna from Renton, WA writes: "Does anyone know how effective tea tree oil is applied topically and repeatedly for boils?' I am a experiencing a boil on my leg for the first time since I was in junior high gymnastics, and my daughter now has one on her face. I've tried tea tree on my leg, and it totally takes away the fluid, but don't know if the connection is valid enough to try on my daughter's nose. Am starting turmeric treatment, but curious about topical applications-especially with MRSA-is tea tree anitmicrobial enough to kill MRSA?"
03/16/2007: Cindy from Payson, AZ replies: "The best cure for any type of infection even moles/skin ticks/ infected staph or other boils that I've tried is TEA TREE OIL. I learned this in India when I traveled there. I had some serious infections that not even antibotics would cure but applying Tea Tree Oil over a few days did the trick. Also pouring proxide as a wash many times a day then treating with Tea Tree Oil does the trick!"
03/16/2009: Juan from West Covina, California, USA replies: "Try using Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) --- very effective against all pathogens like viruses, bacteria and fungus."

TURMERIC DOSAGE
09/06/2007: Carol writes: "Why not increase the Turmeric dosage from 1 tsp daily to 1 tsp when needed? Is it toxic or does the body build a tolerance? I find that the 1 tsp wears off about 8 hours after taken I am an extreme case I am taking both Imodium and turmeric. I've noticed some improvement. Imodium dosage has gone down a little. Thank you"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Turmeric dose can be increased, although the underlying deficiencies or toxicity which caused your problem in the first place has not been properly addressed."

4 YEAR OLD WITH BOILS
08/28/2007: Lisa from Haughton, LA writes: "Turmeric is great in the beginning for boils, But, please note that it does take more doses more frequently once they continue to come back in time !I have been getting them 2004 and each summer they get harder and harder to treat ! The first year they were surgically removed because they were so deep and also treated with an antibiotic called Minocycline. This helped temporarily, but once when I was out of town on a weekend, and unable to find medical attention, I tried the turmeric cure from this site. It was miraculous for about 9 mos., but then they came back the next summer extremely aggressive !! It took me larger doses,(2 heaping tablespoons 3 times daily), and they were taking longer to heal, or would just stay down in size without going away for weeks. That much turmeric will have your stomach feeling quite sick along with diarhia !! I finally went back to the doctor and back on the Minocycline, but it also took longer than the last time using it to clear up the staph infection. My son is almost 4, and he too suffers with them, but his immune system is much stronger than mine. He is autistic and the taste of the turmeric will make him vomit, so when he gets one coming out, I just cook something for him with the turmeric in it ! Preferably something in red gravy, (like spagetti & meat sauce). He has never been on antibiotics and I'm trying to keep it that way, but as soon as the turmeric cures one of his boils, another one surfaces in another place on his little body. The doctor told me that it is getting so out-of-hand that pretty soon there will be nothing they can do for it. He told me that the staph that is out there now is a product from our own modern medicine - a combination of many antibiotics produced that have built up a resistency and immunity to everything they have to fight it. It is a growing and most aggresive bacteria that becomes increasingly immune to anything. Sorry to say it, but he may very well be right. I wish the turmeric would continue to work for me, but the staph is starting to get immune to it as well. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated !!""
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Yes it is a well known fact that turmeric works great, for most mild cases of boils, but for more agressive one it will work well, only temporary. What surprised me was it worked well for you about 9 months. I would expect it to work only a month or two, and it comes back more agressively. It is that the cause is the body's deficiency in certain minerals, which in this case if quite often magnesium, but also improper alkalinity in which case baking soda.
A longer term remedy against the staph is rather straightforward, but not well known, is the magnesium citrate 250 mg taken a least twice a day, plus the apple cider vinegar two tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda taken at least 2 times a day. I prefer myself the 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda twice a day, or some prefer a more natural route such as 2 tablespoon (about 8 teaspoon) of lime juice or lemon juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day. The other issue that I think is important is the zinc gluconate (or zinc acetate) 50 mg that I would take twice a week, and then after a month I would pare off to only once a week.
Staph has a major enemy and it is the magnesium and alkalinity which the body has to have in sufficient amount. Iodine is synergistic, which I keep for last in case it is not working well as it should I might consider some iodine foot painting or one to two drop of iodine (usually potassium iodide and/or sodium iodide solution, and lugol's might be acceptable) and those are added to about 1 liter of drinking water taken only once a week. Too much iodine taken too frequently may cause bacterial debris being released in the blood that the body cannot remove quickly enough and can cause acne or itchy skin. At one dose per week, this problem should not happen.
A further improvement may be helpful is the use of topical solution of milk of magnesia with a drop or two of iodine applied to the areas where the boils occur necessary to kill the staph in a specific area, but the use of magnesium supplements plus baking soda is often a better longer term solution.""
