I had constipation and now it is alternating with frequent motions some time. I lost around 20kg in the last two years now it is stable but I couldn't gain weight too. My lower extremities are cold. I am getting headache and couldn't sleep properly. I have tried allopathy, homeopathy, ayurveda but I couldn't get any relief. Allopathy doctors couldn't understand the itching and telling me it is my thinking. I have undergone all tests from biochemical tests, x Ray, ultra sonogram, CT scan, gastroenteroscopy twice, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, biochemical markers for coeliac disease. All results are normal except for low Hb, medium sized ulcer in the first endoscopy with H. Pylori positive. After 2 months in second endoscopy no ulcer is detected but the biopsy report shows no H. Pylori this time but the final report says chronic inflammation of intestinal mucosahistopathology and the pathologist gives in d/d chronic viral infection. I am doing my third year engineering and life is hell with pain and itching Udh from India " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/inflammation.html&name=CHRYSANTHEMUM_64965 /CURES/inflammation.rss2 Tue, 11 Oct 11 16:04:15 -0500 [YEA] Van from Sunnyvale, Ca, Usa writes: "This simple yet delicious tea has been a life saver many times. One time I had a bad case of chemical poisioning and I had sores and welts all over my eyes, face and mouth. It happened so quick I freaked out and reached for some chrysanthemum tea. Within minutes it all calmed down and I was normal again. Generally in Asia this tea is used to bring down heat and inflamation like canker sores. Hard to believe because it's so sweet. The kind I use is the powdered kind in packets. Just mix with water. You can also use the dried flowers but I have a problem with the dried pollen.

You really help all of us who do not have access to good health care and for those who do not trust traditional medicine. I have three questions. 1-where can I get the chewable dessicated liver tabs? 2-where can I get hydrated magnesium chloride in crystal or powder form? 3-what do you recommend for numb feet and legs. It feels like I am walking on gravel all the time. Also my butt is numb. It feels like something is lodged in my rectal area or like a tight feeling or pressure in the butt. I am not constipated. I have been to the doctor for blood work and exam. He put me on meloxicam-15mg once a day. Thanks for any advice you can offer. All the best, Rebeka " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/inflammation.html&name=MH_57565 /CURES/inflammation.rss4 Fri, 10 Jun 11 10:32:39 -0500 [YEA] Lu from Brisbane, Australia writes: "I have been getting very good results taking Manuka honey for gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining). I take it twice a day... Once before bed and again in the morning. Taking it with a piece of bread slows down absorption and keeps it in the stomach longer.

I have a swelling in my elbow from retaining fluid in the elbow due to an inflammation. Doctor drained it twice but it didn't cure the problem. Doctor does not advise draining it again. Am now wearing a pressure cuff on elbow and applying ice several times a day. This helps but still have the fluid pooling in the elbow. Love this website, found lots of answers here." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/inflammation.html&name=JUICING_37534 /CURES/inflammation.rss6 Sat, 16 Jan 10 18:24:48 -0600 [YEA] Nugo from Brentwood, Ny, Usa writes: "Vegetable juices great for inflammation!! I've been suffering from inflammation all my life, there is no diet that make lose weight, I have noticed however that all grains: corn, chicken peas, all beans, rice, wheat, potatoes make me to gain from 4 to 6 pounds easily during the night!! My meal doesn't even weight that much! So I just don't eat them. But lately I started juicing and I have noticed big changes in my body. Hands, arms, knees, ankles are now a lot better. I can feel my bones now. I drink a big glass of vegetable and fruit juice in the morning as a breakfast and that's all. My diet is the same so it has to be the juicing! I don't have a recipe I just put on the blender what I have in my refrigerator that day (carrots, apple, pears, strawberries, banana, any fruit and cucumber, celery, spinach and any other leaves I got. I would say I'm impressed.

Allergy sensitivity tests would show a reaction to most foods/elements. Now that I'm 27 my symptoms have improved through a healthier diet, but some symptoms still linger such as constipation, fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, and general dryness. I've been looking for posts on this site for recommendations but it's hard to pinpoint causes since my symptoms cross over spectrums of autoimmune, metabolic, and intestinal disorders. Some of the remedies on this site (acv, coconut oil, etc) have very little to no results. I've spent so much of my life treating symptoms individually, but ever since I learned of my predisposition to inflammation, I feel like I'm getting closer to treating the cause. The question is, how? It would be much appreciated if someone more knowledgeable can point me in the right direction.

It has been very helpful which is why I feel compelled to share this with you. I suffer from inflammation and fibromyalgia like symptoms although I have never been diagnosed. I use Boswellia seretta (must contain boswellic resins) which is also known as Frankincense. I bought my own in bulk from mountain rose herbs and cap them myself because I take so much. I take 2 capsules a day about 3 times a day." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/inflammation.html&name=TURMERIC_9765 /CURES/inflammation.rss9 Thu, 30 Aug 07 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] ann from duncan, sc writes: "I have been using Turmeric for my inflammation for 2 years now and swear by it. I have an autoimmune disease which causes a lot of inflammation. I take 1 tablespoon a day and it keeps my swelling way down.I am now goiter free and do not need thyroid removal surgery. If I go off of it the swelling picks back up and my goiter returns. I have taken it in capsule form or by mixing it with water and swallowing fast!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/inflammation.html&name=CASTOROIL_9767 /CURES/inflammation.rss10 Mon, 25 Jun 07 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] K.C. from Portland, Oregon writes: "I have had gut problems for years. (I have an extra-long colon, like twice normal length.) General inflammation, sometimes burning an inch or two below my sternum ( a good remedy for that is pancreatic enzymes), a pointed ache in the gall bladder area (just below right ribs) whenever I ate anything with fat, and a pain in the left lower corner of the abdomen aftter eating. I did an all night castor oil pack and all of these symptoms have disappeared and have not come back." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/inflammation.html&name=TURMERIC_9766 /CURES/inflammation.rss11 [YEA] Rose from England writes: "I use turmeric, it works like magic for me - I have Crohn\'s disease, and finds it helps ease inflammation. All the anti-inflammatory pills that the doctor gave me only made me MUCH worse. Turmeric helps stop the \'loose stools\'." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/inflammation.html&name=NORTHPOLEMAGNETS_9768 /CURES/inflammation.rss12 Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "The use of north pole magnets (using a very powerful neodymium magnets) will help reduce inflammation. South pole increases inflammation, so please take note to apply the correct one. To identify the north pole is to get a compass. If the north pointing compass points to your magnet. It means this side is north. So mark the positions accordingly. The idea is well accepted in sports area, but are not well accepted in conventional medicine. Sports people need results and the faster they heal, the faster they can compete."
