REMEDIES NEEDED FOR LUPUS, BARRETTS
07/24/2008: Toni writes: "I have been reading your testimonials and wonder whether you can help me. I have had lupus for a long while now, I also have barretts oesphagus and really bad reflux -- can you help me with a cure? I have also noted the feedback about mercury my mouth is full of mercury filings. I would like to know how to detox please. I would like to get my health back and life please. Thank you"

BORAX QUESTIONS
05/20/2008: Lupusnephritis writes: "I am reading through all the commentaries, and I just have to be sure about what it is you all are taking. When you talk about borax, is this the same borax used to clean things with and also used to kill ants? I want to believe the cure, but I am very hesitant about putting a poison down my body. My kidneys are shot enough as it is, and I'm very scared to make them worse. I will try everything else out, though. I do believe in the acid-causing foods theory. Not only are they bad for lupus, they help your body store fat, which is worse for your health. I'll post again the results of all the vitamin consumption."

LUPUS WITH NEPHRITIS 2
05/12/2008: Anonymous writes: "Thank-you so much for the information...I wanted to give you more back ground info...I am from Venezuela ..our diet as a child consisted mainly of vegetable, lentil, garbanzo, potatoes & carrots soups, white rice, lots of chicken sides & some thin steak w/ onions but rarely peppers, spaghetti with fresh red sauce, bread and lots of milks. Out of my whole six siblings, my father, my mother & their 20 grandchildren my two kids are the only ones with autoimmune problems & my husband. My husband is from champagne Indiana, so was his mother (whose mother had RA), my husband mother had the join issues also & psoriasis. However, I think you are right about the environmental factors. I am over weight, & it was recently that I started eating more fresh fruits & vegetables & less pizza & saturated fats. My husband still craves the can foods, frozen lasagna & pizza. He is not over weight, but at 43 has high cholesterol & blood pressure like his mother. However, he has more energy then me and is very productive. My daugther takes, lisinopril 20, prednisone 20mg, baby aspirin 81, valtrex 500 mg to suppress shingles, lipitor 10mg, had 17 tx of cytoxin... they want to do Rituxin (again had two or three txs) Weds with a dose solumetrol for the kidney inflamation. I'am so worry ...If you can give more inside.......oh, they want to change the Lisinopril to Losarten 20 or 30mg"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Most shingles are effectively suppressed using zinc gluconate and baking soda remedy plus a small pinch of potassium bicarbonate. Viruses generally cannot grow in an alkaline environment, but they have difficult growing in mostly zinc, but also coming close is magnesium, and chromium. A topical application I gave to my aunt, just the 2% zinc chloride solution with a 5% magnesium chloride, with frequent application every hour for the entire day stopped the shingles completely.

The common diets you mentioned, as follows: vegetable, lentil, garbanzo, potatoes & carrots soups, white rice, lots of chicken sides & some thin steak w/ onions but rarely peppers, spaghetti with fresh red sauce, bread and lots of milks.

It should be noted that 70-90% of non-white people have problems digesting cow's milk what is referred to as lactose intolerant. Thai people here are 90% lactose intolerant. The information came from the Nutritional survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

It should be noted that most children have trouble with potatoes, but bean rich foods are generally acid forming, mostly from oxalic acid, which often leads to skin problems. The food that should generally be avoided is the potatoes and steaks. The foods not mentioned that I find important for children's reduction in allergy are the fish diet, which is high in omega 3 and one of the remedy I used to reduce skin problems. But in addition whenever bean diets are high, this indicate the child's need for vitamin C sodium ascorbate, usually for me a child's dose is around 100-250 mg. while an adult is 1000 mg. This should allow the body to neutralize the skin problem due to excess oxalic acid buildup which is what is CAUSING the kidney inflammation and other problems. Some supplements of omega 3, twice a week or three times a week will help. However, whenever the diet is high in oxalic acid which leads to kidney problems due to excessive oxalic acid buildup, needs also some
 vitamin B complex, but also a remedy that may be most helpful in reducing a calcium form of oxalic acid, often called calcium oxalate which may cause the problems too therefore a lemon and baking soda is one remedy that may reduce this condition. The remedy is as follows, assuming the child is 1/2 the weight of a 100 pound adult:

1 tablespoon of lemon juice plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/4 glass of water, taken twice a day. Once in the morning and about 1 hour before bedtime.

Fruit juices in excess, where I think whole fruits twice a week  is more than sufficient contains fructose which leads to insulin intolerance via glycation (action of sugar on body's proteins - such as neuron and nerve cells and other proteins) leading to overweight and diabetes. There is actually a study to show you that fructose or corn syrup, leads to overweight, but with recent addition of aspartame, this is one product that can cause a more morbid conditions on learning since it burns the brain cell as what formaldehyde do whenever the aspartame breaks down inside the body.

The major cause of obesity in today's woman is the sugar from the fruits and the saturated fats. It requires no rocket science or Atkin's diet to realize that, but there is a pecking order of dangerous sugars, from worse to less worse: ribose sugar, glucose, fructose, and sucrose (common sugar). So the fact that fructose are has a higher glycation- which leads to insulin resistance, can result in diabetes, but it needs the addition of saturated fat to block the body's hormonal control for weight too!

My own observations and fellow researchers who wished to raise blood cholesterol in rats is rather easy: processed food. Especially, fried foods, vegetable oils in high heat for example. Assuming you eat oxidized oil, which exists in high amounts in canned food, frozen foods and other mass distributed packaged foods. These oxidized rancid oil goes into the blood stream an form a plaque or become quite sticky, which leads to heart problem. One recipe for a heart attack is to eat processed food and lead an over stressed life. In this arena, avoidance of processed food in favor of freshly cooked foods, preferably boiled foods to avoid heated oils will help prevent oils from oxidizing, plus vitamin C and alkalizing baking soda since processed foods are very acid froming, high in aluminum content and high in carcinogenic benzene. So where did those benzene come from? It comes from food preservatives such as sodium benzoate or benzoic acid, and degrades into carcinogenic (leading to liver problems) in presence of acidic foods. So obviously, acid forming leads to skin problem.

Kidney inflammation don't come from the thin air. Sometimes they come from doctors medicine themselves. I remember a patient coming in for a medicine to treat sinuses, and he ended up with a kidney and liver problem. So he took certain medicine for kidney and liver problem, and had a side effect that lead to a heart problem and died of a heart attack.

Fish are anti-inflammatory foods, as is alkaline forming foods, but not fruits, mushrooms, wheat products, potatoes, tomatoes, or cheese, for example. Most of the foods we like are 90% acid forming food and are pro-inflammatory. For me wheat is worse, causing high blood pressure. But ordinary salt can cause high blood pressure and ordinary salt are acid, with a pH of 5. The practices with modern processed food uses ordinary salt which are acid forming while alkaline forming salt such as sea salt is not use. So anyone who eats processed foods will have high rancid oil (oxidized oil) leading to cholesterol and table salt, leading to acidosis, high blood pressure, psioriasis and arthritis. Most rheumatoid arthritis comes from lack of dietary magnesium, too much wheat products, and processed foods which lowers the immune system. In case some might argue why processed foods lowers immune system, the benzene hydrocarbons, fructose (corn syrup) and aluminum for example, suppresses the immune system. Peppermint toothpaste should generally be avoided where I tend to favor salt and baking soda toothpaste, with a small pinch of potassium added, if possible!

As to why I make no mention of doctors medicine the good points. That's because I managed to cure myself of that without the need to use any of them and without the side effects and it also worked well with me, and hence I have no need to find something better.

A good milk in my opinion is usually the soy milk, and the whey milk. Soy doesn't have lactose, and most Asians are lactose intolerant. Whey milk is good because it raises the immune system the body against bacteria and viruses."

LUPUS WITH NEPHRITIS 2
05/10/2008: Anonymous writes: "I have a child who was diagnosed with Lupus with Nephritis 2 and half years ago. My child still showing a great degree of inflammation after 13 cytoxin & prednisone tx as well as daily predinose. She basically is spilling about 2+ protein & 1+ blood (FYI....I am Spanish married to an American, in my husband side of the family (mother side) his grandmother had severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, His mother had psoriasis & joint pain, My husband has psoriasis & my son vitiligo...all autoimmune disorders. My son about three years ago started body building, he was taking protein supplements, No2, etc... and he started to regrow pigment). Please let me know what you think and if you could help me! Thank you."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "In a condition of a Lupus with Nephritis, the common approach is to take care of the kidneys first. Usually the best remedy tor reduce some kidney problems is CoQ10 but the dose they use in commercial arena is usually too low. I find that for an adult dose it requires about 5000 mg per day, so in a person with at 1/10 the weight of a 100 pound human adult may require just only 500 mg, which these softgels may be squeezed and put in teaspoon for convenience.

Most inflammations are often reduced with just baking soda, and a pinch of potassium bicarbonate, so in a mild adult dose of 1/2 teaspoon taking three times day day in 1/2 glass dose of water, the dose is again reduced accordingly on the basis of weight. This will usually reduce most of the condition. Magnesium citrate ( or magnesium chloride and magnesium gluconate as substitutes) are very helpful in reducing the inflammation also.

Interestingly, arthritis might remotely NOT run in the family, but dietary habits lacking in certain nutrients can give way to rheumatoid arthritis. While there is no cure for that, I found magnesium supplements to be one that is most helpful against such a pain, especially if I'm talking about the pain between the joints, where the source is the ligaments. To some extent bacteria may be introduced into the body usually frequent brushin of non fluoridated toothpaste, especially in the far back of the teeth is quite often the cause for excessive pathogens that gets into the bloodstream, especially if intensive brushing of the teeth is not done before sleep.

There are actually many theories as to the cause of rheumatoid arthritis, but most Mexican diets in my opinion are lacking in certain B complex, such as niacinamide, and magnesium. Usually an adult dose is vitamin B complex, in form of B50, taken twice a day, which is a 50 mg dose for most of the vitamin Bs, and a magnesium, which is often 500 mg of an adult dose. For a child of 10-12 for example their dose is 250 mg, so a child of 5 may be 100 mg still.

A psioraisis, eczema and allergy and internal inflammation of the organs in my opinion are the same in which certain foods may trigger such as condition. Assuming it is a Mexican diets, so peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, diet coke, sugar free products, milk, cheese, peppermint toothpase, all fruits, sugar, glucose for example are often the trigger. A newer alkalizing remedy can be effective against these condition, but much of the problems is people simply can't get the ingredients I need. Therefore I will have to settle for 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/8 teaspoon of potassium citrate (or potassium bicarbonate) as twice or three times a day in 1/2 glass of water as a way to slowly reduced the condition. Personally I used other more effective one, but this is something that is easier to find, so some cannot even find potassium, so if that can't be found than baking soda alone will have to do.

A skin condition can easily be reduced of eczema, only superficially by applying the skin with milk of magnesia, where there is no aluminum added as the one remedy I found most effective.

In my personal experience, the best remedies for psioriasis and eczema for adults and a very limited extent rheumatoid arthritis is the 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate plus 1/4 teaspoon sodium carbonate in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day, once in the morning and 2 hours before sleep. The alkalization  has a broad effects in killing off bacteria, but especially fungi which I often view it as a common cause of this condition. It should be noted that I have received many private feedback with results, although it simply can't be posted due to privacy issues. For this to work effectively, I find they have to be taken for about 2-3 weeks. It should be noted that the dose has to be adjusted by individual differences, so common sense applies.

A lupus condition, is often resulted in spilling of protein due to the pathogens often digest the body's cells, resulting in that conditions. In Mexico I found the that certain sources of contaminant resulting in lupus came from contaminated water usually from waste water where initial sickness from drinking water, is often the trigger. In other instances of life long eczema and psioriasis it comes from past living in a house high in fungus count.

A powerful simple remedy, but only superficially to reduce extreme itchiness, at least my newer remedies, is a mixture of milk of magnesia one TABLESPOON with one TEASPOON of ammonium chloride (or ammonium bicarbonate) in 1/2 glass of water for TOPICAL external application to the effected area. It will cause the stinging (killing off the fungus) then the itchiness and irritation will go away.

In the long run, adding some borax to the drinking water is helpful for many conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis since boron (found in borax) is an essential mineral. A general dose that I use, a more conservative one may be 1/8 teaspoon of borax per one liter of water as a source of drinking water. It should be noted that drinking this may result in detoxification and result in loose stools if it is taken along with meals, but it won't cause loose stools if taken on an empty stomach, so if it is not taking immediately with meals than its ok. But there is a twist to this issue, if they are taken to cause  a loose stool and along with food, the detoxification results and most of the inflammation, whether they be skin, kidneys, or joints are reduced within an hour or two after going to the bathroom by reducing the pathogen load the body has to carry. Usually these are taken 4 or 5 days out of a week.

Interestingly spirulina dn chlorella, taken once every two days, is a metal chelator, and  so is cilantro (U.S. calls it that - but in some parts of the world is called chinese parsley or coriander - it's the same) If they are taken alone or in combination once every two days, or once every other day, the free metals is reduced, which starves the fungus, mycoplasma and other pathogens of their protection from food source and these tend to hide behind the heavy metals rendering antibiotics completely ineffective. They also hide in calcium shells, but that's another matter. A lemon and baking soda remedy such as two tablespoon of  lemon juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass ofw ater taken twice or three times a day will reduce the calcium shells used to protect these organism. In a few cases artemisia is helpful in some cases of lupus, often called wormwood too, but I find the borax/baking soda to be of most help for the lupus.

A newer addition of the supplements, chromium picolinate is helpful to these general conditions, of lupus and in a limited way, eczema and psioriasis by their very mechanism in reducing the blood sugar, which starves the pathogens of their primarily food source: sugar.

It's really difficult to cover every aspect of the sickness, but the primary trigger in decaying of organism or a person who is sick is metabolic acidosis, often trigger by acid forming food. The primary trigger for these are quite often wheat, white bread, meats, sweets, coke, pepsi, and all sour foods.

PREGNANT WITH LUPUS
04/10/2008: JT writes: "I have lupus with weak positive ANA. I had contacted you regarding the same last year and had been on the supplement regime that you had advised. Now I am 4 weeks pregnant with my second baby, I had stopped taking the supplement regime for lupus as I wasn't sure if all that was safe for the baby. Please advice me what precautions do I need to take for the well being of me and the baby. Currently I am taking prenatal vitamins and DHA supplement. Please let me know what additional supplements I can take which are safe for the baby. You early response is highly appreciated as I am really worried about the pregnancy because of my lupus.
"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Generally, a pregnant woman often take pre-natal vitamin and mineral supplements, alkalizing remedies such as baking soda, and a much smaller amount of boron, such as 1/16 teaspoon mixed in one liter of drinking water once a week, which is about the same amount of boron in some drinking spring water of the same amount. Magnesium is still important and usually a low dose of 250 mg is needed to prevent a deficiency and certain diets should be avoided against yeast and fungus infection since lupus seemed be initiated by fungus and certain foods that causes this caused a flare up. These include avoiding sugar, fructose (found in fruits) and vitamin C can be used instead, and glucose is not helpful. Mushroom, cheese, tomatoes, and steaks, wheat, white bread causes a flare up in lupus and are generally avoided because the seem to support fungus growth. One essential mineral I have found that might have some' anti lupus effect is a supplement that have some molybdenum which are available often in mcg amount, which is relatively a very low dose, that will prevent fungus toxins from attacking the body by means of autoimmunity. The mcg dose of molybdenum (usually sodium molybdate), is done to prevent a deficiency, which is relatively free of side effects, but at the same time reduces lupus toxins too."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "The lupus issue is due usually a mycoplasma problem, which is a fungus like organism, and in some cases nanoinsects issue, as evidenced by some people who reported them during the initial stages of the SLE. It is the nanoinsects being the carriers the aggressive mycoplasma continues to cause inflammation and pain, especially around the joints. Most of the flare ups in pain comes mostly from acid forming food, so certain proteins can cause the flare ups, such as steak, but also cured meats, and processed foods. I don't also classify people by what diet they should eat because each foods or diets I consider them as nutrients and also are used to treat the conditions needed to reduce the symptoms instead of being born into that diet. The protein I used as a source, is often whole chicken and fish, being the safest. So my approach are somewhat different from Dr. Mercola. The lupus issue require a four point plan: One is to avoid certain foods that causes flare up for those who do have lupus. This includes aspartame, tap water, sugar, corn syrup, glucose, steaks, margarine, vegetable oils used in cooking, processed foods, white flour, and white bread. Second is alkalize. This involves alkalizing. Alkalizing will removes much of the redness and inflammation, but some of the pain. The simplest possible remedy is 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day. That's the simplest one. But the more effective remedy I found out is to add H2O2 3%, which is often 10 drops of 3% H2O2 plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda taken twice a day. The most effective remedy, if I can get washing soda (sodium carbonate usually Arm & Hammer) is 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day. The sodium carbonate and baking soda is often called a carbicarb remedy, but I have modified as a simpler home remedy. This last one is most effective in reducing redness that and inflammation being more complete. Third is to kill off the Nanoinsect. This is the borax remedy. The borax remedy is what killed the organism that is causing a constant problem of pain and pus in some cases. For a woman's dose may require about 1/8 teaspoon of borax plus 30 drops of food grade H2O2 3% in one liter of drinking water taken throughout the day, usually five days out of a week. The fourth and last one is to reduce heavy metals, which requires chlorella and spurilina once every two day or once every other day, the dose is quite often 250-500 mg. Removal of heavy metals is required since most mycoplasma (also found in many vaccines) tend to cause the body to accumulate more heavy metals.' There is another addition that may help lupus, which is artemisia, or wormwood, which also chelates metals and also kills off certain mycoplasma too that might help. SLE is somewhat infectious, but not contagious, but I have seen entire family who do have lupus, so there is some communicable nature, but it is not nearly as contagious as a cold virus. Generally speaking, some other supplements are in order to reduce pain too which includes magnesium gluconate 250-500 mg, vitamin D3, RNA/DNA, vitamin E, and vitamin B complex, and especially zinc gluconate 50 mg, that can further help recovery of the condition, but as I have found out, it is always the baking soda, borax, chelation, and H2O2, that will see most of the improvements. The plaquenil may cause eye problem and generally speaking the taking of those should be reduced if the body's condition is improving as it causes other problems too. In my personal opinion, plaquenil might be substituted with artemisia or artemisin, or worm wood, because both plaquenil and artemisia were used to treat malaria, but I think the mycoplasma we are dealing with here might be respond similarly somewhat with the lupus, since I am somewhat suspicious with medical drugs. It is the side effects that killed the patients in most pharma drugs. The borax I used I get from chemical supply store, usually food grade, but if I can't get them, I might get them from 20 mule team borax, and other detergents that clearly label as 100% borax. P.S. Whey protein, B12, chlorella, and others you mentioned are part of the SLE remedy, especially the chlorella and B12. However whey are generally taken only during breakfast and light meals or eating an early dinner are important. Eating late dinner lowers the immune system. By early dinner, it is around 4.00 - 5.00 p.m."

02/07/2008: R writes: "Ted, I have attached some before pictures. I haven't yet started the daily regimen but will start tomorrow. I will keep you posted and send pictures when I improve. Thank you so much!"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Thank you, it takes about 3-4 weeks to notice improvement. It's a gradual process but you should notice some minor improvement on the first week. The old remedy is o.k. as it is, but I try to improve them, with some of my own observations too.

In case you wondered what is the newer remedy and its rationale, I have refined the remedy somewhat to include sodium citrate (which is a mixture of baking soda and citric acid at 2: 1 ratio or 4:1 ratio), or the use of sodium carbonate mixed with sodium bicarbonate as a more effective methods of alkalization. The reason is the formation of carbon dioxide is minimized using citrate or carbonates. It works like this, when citrate encounters a carbon dioxide or acid, its convert to bicarbonates, before it gives up carbon dioxide. For the sodium carbonate form, it meets carbon dioxide to form sodium bicarbonate, then it generates carbon dioxide when it encounters more acid. Hence citrate and carbonates are more powerful buffers to acidosis and maybe useful in the long run.

So if we have a baking soda already assuming we used 1/2 teaspoon, then 1/8 teaspoon is sodium carbonate, or another citric acid 1/8 teaspoon can be used too in 1 glass of water. This one still needs some work, but I believe it is more effective from recent research into carbicarb in resolving metabolic acidosis, which has a tendency to cause suppressed immune system, but a metabolic acidosis can also aggravate a lupus just the same.

Still borax is always used, but I have made some changes in the alkalizing issue. A d-mannose and/or xylitol should also be considered as are other things as per previous remedies.

I hope some of these information are helpful for you, if not please inquire."

Many thanks and kind regards."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Neem may have limited usefulness for some lupus people. However, some people do take it to reduce certain symptoms, but only for major flare ups. Because of this problem in some lupus, I decided to change the remedy with somewhat more consistency on the outcome by using baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and borax remedy. Both Xylitol and d-Mannose is very helpful in reducing flare ups, and I am following up on this issue to see its effectiveness. Apparently mycoplasma has more difficult time attaching to healthy cells as well as mannose are converted by the liver as mannose bound lectin (sometimes called mannose bound protein), which acts as tagging devices on various pathogens in the body so that the white cells can direct its attack more directly consuming the invading pathogens. The reasons for my interest is biological military research in U.S. are doing studies on d-mannose against the ebola viruses, but it seems to work quite effective against lupus flare up also.

Plaquenil taking long term may lead to eye problems (sometimes a permanent one), such as macular degeneration. I had a case of a 15 year old who has that from taking plaquenil, the dose given by today's doctor appears to be too much for most people. What I find important is borax and baking soda should be taking with ocassionally discontinuing 3 days out of a week for example, just to keep it under control.

Hence most people who is into taking natural medicine find it best to take the bare minimum, in one case 1/4 of the dose, in another case only sporadically, depending on how mild the case is.

Lupus is seasonal where flare ups occur during winter if they dont take regular multivitamin and mineral supplements. However, if they take them, the lupus is within control.

It's very helpful to take chlorella/spirulina as chlorella removes heavy metals, but spirulina also remove toxic metals, such as arsenic. Reducing the heavy metal buildup allows the immune system to be normal thus reducing the lupus problem.

If there's any additional question feel free to ask."

01/20/2008: R writes: "re: Discoid Lupus. Ted,' Would it be possible for you to post a daily regimen for those of us that are suffering from this condition. I have read the posts but find myself confused as to what to drink daily, apply topically daily and also which supplements I should be taking daily. I think this would be a great help and I would appreciate it tremendously! Thanks."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Thank you for your suggestion.

The daily regimen short form as best as I can, if there is any problem here, just tell me.

Assuming I have a lupus, this is what I will do:

I will need to alkalize first with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day, once in the morning and once before sleep. Some people find it inconvenient and take 1 teaspoon in the late afternoon in 1 glass of water all at once. I think that's too strong for someone, but that's how it is done.

The vitamin B complex regimen is needed here. A minimum of B50 taken every other day twice a day.

A borax 1/4 teaspoon is mixed in one liter of drinking water for men. If possible 10-20 drops of 3% H2O2 food grade I may add to increase the effectiveness in the killing power of the mycoplasma. A woman seems to need a lower dose, and it seems 1/8 teaspoon is for them, but if they can handle the 1/4 teaspoon it seems to work itself best, still a 10-20 drops of H2O2 3% is still added here also, depending upon individual tolerances. This is taken ideally for about 5 days out of a week. In some cases the nanobugs are in existence so the bugs will come out of the skin causing irritation, usually on the third or fourth day. But if the nanobugs are dead, there is still and unknown mycoplasma that is still present, but usually effectively suppessed with borax. I personally suspect addng xylitol to the one liter of drinking water such as 1/2 teaspoon at the very least would further help prevent the unknown mycoplasma from attaching to healthy cells and further the kill. A larger dose of 2 teaspoon I think of xylitol is needed if it is added into the 1 liter of drinking water, but I don't use it to prevent possible laxative effect, and hence I will initially start with 1/2 teaspoon. If there's no problem I may add the xylitol dose more to 2 teaspoon to increase some killing effect.

A magnesium citrate is taken at 500 mg, and is taken for 5 days out of a week. A zinc gluconate 50 mg is usually taken once every three days, to increase the immunity.

500 mg of sodium ascorbate vitamin C is taken 5 days out of a week.

A chlorella/spirulina is taken once every three days, seems to be quite fine for most people. The body has a limited capacity to detoxify and hence why it is needed to be taken once every three day. This will chelate heavy metals out and help increase the immunity.

d-Mannose supplement 250 mg three times a day to further prevent lupus cell from attaching to healthy cells and reproduce may be helpful and therefore optional. If a mannose can't be found, I may consider drinking 1/2 cup in 1 glass of water x 4 times a day of cranberry juice, which is high in d-mannose. In my opinion I like to dilute the cranberry juice with plenty of water to prevent sugar spikes, which I think 1/2 cup in a glass of water would be sufficient. More d-mannose is needed so I might increase the dose to up to 1000 mg x three times a day later, if there is no laxative effects from d-mannose.

I would take a once or twice a week multiple vitamins and minerals are needed to prevent a deficiency should cover most potential problems.

Amino acid supplements to prevent general deficiency is taken twice a week, it's usually available in many kinds but the one single amino acid that I am most interested in addition to that is the 250 mg of N Acetyl Cysteine and the glutathione supplements taken once a day to help liver detoxification.

It should be noted that most benefits I found from lupus comes from the baking soda, borax, hydrogen peroxide, and d-mannose and quite possibly xylitol. The other is needed since energy and overall health is important to further fight against the lupus I have seen to be helpful.

No drinking of tap water as I have seen the metal contaminant from the tap water to worsen the lupus. Most bottled water I may use, such as spring water as a drinking water. It seems to cause the least problem and further the recovery.

Overall immunity were seen to increase by me from taking some flaxseed oil, usually one teaspoon mixed with one tablespoon of granulated lecithin taken at least once a day. If granulated lecithin can't be found, perhaps cottage cheese might help emulsify the fats of the flaxseed oil for further bioavailability. If cottage cheese or granulated lecithin can't be found, I will mix the flaxseed (cold-press) one teaspoon with the food. The flaxseed is I will take once a day taken only 5 days out of a week.

There is a missing link to the lupus remedy that resulted in a complete cure which came from the addition of a herbal tincture remedy that I have not yet found out, but perhaps some experimentation by me of black walnut tincture, olive leaf extract, or other preparations may help too. One unconfirmed case that was helped seems to be help by black salve, but I doubt its effectiveness as it also causes side effects gastrointestinal and bloating stomach.

Those are the major regimen, updated to some extent that I have found to be helpful.

If there is any points unclear please feel free to email me."

I have it only on my face, around the top of my cheeks and on the bridge of my nose. Sometimes my face is swollen in these areas with pusules. I'm starting today for the first time the borax remedy, 1 litre of water with 1/8 teaspoon of borax ,drinking the quanity in 3 different intervals. I will do this 5 times a week as you said. I am testing the alkalinity of my urine with the paper test strips as I was unable to find the pocket PH meter. I believe that my urine is alkalined enough as the testing paper shows an almost deep blue color, which there is no indication on the chart of that color to indicate the alkaline value but I have been drinking the ACV remedy with baking soda twice daily and been avoiding acid forming foods as much as possible. My concern now is when I start killing the nanoinsects , if my body isn't alkalized enough to eliminate the "black spots " down the tiolet, excuse the expression, they will be seen on my skin . How do I iliminate them there ? What will I expect , itching ? I look foward to your response because I would like to be prepared in case this should happen since I don't live so close to the city to rush out to buy the nessary creams or oils to soothe the skin. Thank-you for your most generous help."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Olive:

When you eliminate the bugs, there will be lots of itchiness, many of these (thousands) of little black dots (nanoinsects), most of the killing is done by the borax. And those are rid of it by wiping them when they die off on the surface of the skin with alcohol solution of cotton balls.

These won't generally appear until the fourth or fifth day. But it should be noted that some have no more nanoinsects and they have died off, leaving some sort of mycoplasma in two cases. One case apparently they killed using a topical and taken internally black salve, which lead to other problems of gastrointestinal problems. In another case the when lupus appeared after nanoinsect, it was killed with some unknown medication leaving a black dots scar around the face area.

The baking soda, if sufficient amount is taken, will handle the pustules and swollen face synergistically. The itchiness is reduced mostly with alcohol cotton balls, lavender oil solution, and aloe vera lotion to prevent drying of skin.

The baking soda and apple cider vinegar even if the litmus paper showed blue may sometimes mean acidosis still if the kidney problem is indicated, especially if the alkalinity is too high. This happens too, whenever the body breaks down urea to form ammonia, for example, when the body is deeply acidic. The only way to know if that is the problem is that the body becomes LESS ALKALINE, when MORE BAKING SODA is taken, such amount I might try is 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water twice a day.

When nanoinsects do come, in some case they died, but there is lingering effects, yours seeme to be still there anyway, but they will come out their hiding where the bright red spots surfaces to become many tiny black dots, which must be cleaned with cotton balls in alcohol solution.

The alcohol solution will cause some stinging pain but the itchiness will reduce. Some weak lavender solution is applied to handle the itchiness and some lotions will be used to handle some skin dryness.

As a further update, I have found adding 10 drops of 3% H2O2 in 1/8 teaspoon ( or 1/4 teaspoon) of borax in one liter of water improves the effectiveness of the killing off the nanoinsects, as peroxide are a penetrant.

A SATURATED borax and H2O2 1% might be prepared AS A TOPICAL external application for skin areas also, but may cause drying to further kill, but this is generally limited in such use, and therefore is optional.

Chlorella or Chlorella/spirulina also helps reduce the symptoms connected to lupus, but it helps to drink a bottled water, as some case the relief was reported after the contaminated water sources and the white bread were completely eliminated from the diet. Alloxan bleach in the bread, even in small amounts may have caused lupus flared up in one cases. In another, eating barbequed steaks lead to an even worse case.

Maintenance dose of zinc and vitamin b complex are quite important in the lupus recovery. The remaining lupus that don't die may kill all of it with a yet to be found herbal remedy. However, I suspect adding some xylitol (such as 2 teaspoon in the 1 liter of water with the 1/8 borax with some hydrogen peroxide 3% of about 10 drops minimum) may have help loosen the mycoplasma from attaching itself preventing pustules too. However, I prefer to do this separately and find out whether this indeed help at a later stage. Some other nutritional supplements such as fish oil and flaxseed also is helpful in raising normal immune system as well as quickening the mycoplasma die off found in lupus too. It is especially value if there's a deficiency already indicated of essential fatty acids."

HEARTBEAT WEAK AND IRREGULAR
12/24/2007: A writes: "Dear Ted, my wife is the youngest of 6 sisters. 4 have died of Lupus,-- from ages 34 to 40. One sister is now 52 years and is fine. My wife had her first bout of Lupus in 2004,when she was 42 years old. Then she had Low Platelets. She was prescribed the fol. med Deltacortil Plaquenil Danazol After about four months she was back to near normal. She developed a lot of weakness in the legs. The doctors said it is drug induced myopathy and would go away once she leaves the medicines. She has bean on a maintenance dose of Danazol 200mg daily and Plaquinel 200mg daily till July 2007, when she had a re-lapse. This time in July 2007 it was Mild Low Platelets and Albumin in Urine (Nephrotic Syndrome) She was started on the fol meds;- Deltacortil 70mg/day -----For the last 20 days, after gradual reduction it is 5mg/daily Plaquenil 200X2/daily Danazol 200mgx2/daily CellCept 500mgx 2+0+1 Neodipar 500mg 0+1+1 Amaryl 2mg 2+0+0 Tritace 5mg 1+0+0 Inderal 10mg 1+0+1 Zantac 1+0+1 This time again she had severe weakness in both legs, and it started about 15 days of starting the medicines. It is a little better now but she cant walk without support, cant climb stairs etc. Her heart beat becomes fast (80 to 104) even if she is resting, mostly in the mornings and at night. Since a few days she is complaining of weakness in the knees. Has lost a lot of hair----started with the first bout. Ted, can u make out something of this? I dont like to give the above meds but there is no way out. Please help. God be with you."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "

Dear Meh: Thank you for reminding me.

'

The general problems of weakness and heart beat appears to be an electrolyte imbalance. The lupus remedy is clearly mentioned in many of my postings. And the common treatment of remedy was to at least take prednisolone with a slow wean off while other seemed to worsen.

 

In one case of a lupus, the first day began with  the remedy began with just taking 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken three times a day, plus vitamin B50 taken twice a day and Magnesium Citrate 500 mg plus, 250 mg of potassium citrate taken AFTER the baking soda remedy, or 1/4 teaspoon of potassium can be added along with the baking soda remedy.

 

The condition of one case he did continue with the conventional medication, but he only took just the plaquenil, only in that case the dosage was halved. Vitamin C sodium ascorbate of about 1000 mg was taken in 5 days out of a week, were to treat the leg weakness, but vitamin E were taken too 400 at 400 i.u. Leg improvement were reported after the second week mostly from the vitamin C and vitamin E.

 

Irregular heart beat can be corrected in some cases from electrolyte imbalance by using 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in one glass of water taken in the afternoon or other time would be o.k.

 

The second day the person felt much better, more energy but the lupus or the nanoinsect were still there causing pus and damaging the organs. Apparently the nanoinsect eat the organs up, if not treated soon leads to death. Therefore, on the second day was the day to kill these, using the 1/4 (men's dose) or 1/8 (woman's dose) of borax in 1/4 teaspoon and hydrogen peroxide 3% is added to about 10 drops in one liter of water taken for about 5 days out of a week. This was to be continued always.

 

On the third day, the vitamin E can be discontinued, a zinc gluconate was taken 50 mg for only 2-3 days out of a week for about 4 weeks. However it was the chlorella supplement that needed to be taken every two days to remove the free heavy metals that was fuelling the condition.

 

The baking soda and potassium citrate was to be continued for 5 days out of a week, using the 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of potassium citrate in 1/2 glass of water that must be taken throughout.

 

On the third day the person reported to me large improvement and with continuuing improvement mostly from the baking soda and borax.

 

After a period of about 3 or 4 months, he reported almost completely normal, but apparently all the conditions of lupus were cured with the addition of an unknown herbal remedy he took.

 

In this case I mentioned, he only used medrol and prednisolone, but at a reduced dose."

DISCOID LUPUS
12/17/2007: olive writes: "Dear Ted, I'm 44 yrs old with Discoid Lupus , 3 mts ago. I read that I should stay away from eating red meat. Does that apply to wild game such as Moose meat?

I've lost about 15 pounds in 2 months. I know that this isn't helping my immune system either. Thank-you for your so valuable advice."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Olive:

Meats can be eaten, but not too often, high fats is what should be mostly avoided. Most of the problem I encountered comes from overdone or overcooked steaks high in fat.

It is the fats that is a problem. Fish are quite good and this can be taken, either boiled, in soup, or others. Chicken in generally is o.k. but an ocassional supplements of omega 3 and fish oil at least twice a week important as chicken today are grown too quickly and does not have sufficient omega 3 like the chicken we eat 40 years ago, due to industrial agricultural practices. Evening primrose oil is needed as it has Gamma Linoleic acid. once a week at least is also helpful, usually between 500-1000 mg.

Whole wheat bread or unprocessed bread, no white flour would generally be good, and brown rice is relatively safe. Most foods can be eaten, with exception of any canned, packaged and fast food. Home cook foods is safe, but you cannot use metal pots and pans, or at least avoid it, using boiled or steam is safer. Chelation therapy using chlorella helps as it remove the free heavy metals from the system.

Canned food and all packaged foods is a real problem as most of the lupus flares are initiated by pseudoestrogen coming from bisphenol A, plastic lining as the food causes the plastic lining to degrade into estrogen.

One other major flare up is the drinking water, usually tap which is high in free heavy metals, and should be avoided, especially from old pipes, despite "new development buildings". A dangerous flare up has occured on aspartame and sometimes monosodium glutamate and that can be avoided.

There is a lot that you can eat, the issue becomes the portion of food that can be eaten. A meat is 10-20% (not more), the rest are fish and vegetables, generally low fat in their natural form but not COMMERCIAL LOW fat product, which tends to add more sugar and cause the person to consume more, adding to the problem rather than reduction. Fish eaten early before a meat is eaten can trigger the brain to stop eating early as the high protein causes the body to be satiated relatively faster. The meats I prefer is chicken meat and possibly wild meat, but fish should be taken, that is relatively free from harmful heavy metals.

Most fruits can be eaten, but only whole fruits, and not too often. Vegetables, fish, unprocessed white flour, are o.k. Replace cooking oils with coconut milk. To help increase appetite and increase some energy level an ocassional vitamin B complex B50, usually taken twice or three times a week, plus some sodium ascorbate vitamin C usually 1000 mg, perhaps during the same time as vitamin B is taken. This should restore appetite, increase weight and energy level, mostly from what I suspect is B1 and B6.

In the course, the remedy that withstood the test of time is the borax, baking soda and peroxide remedy, which is 1/4 teaspoon of borax in one liter of drinking water plus 10 drops of 3% H2O2 added. The borax remedy is just to prevent the lupus from attacking the body's organs or that the DLE won't advance to the stage of SLE. However, it is my observation that DLE for a year or more will advanced itself to joint pain and most DLE can be suppressed, enough to lead a normal life if the baking soda were taken but protection from organ damage using a small amount of borax were seen as helpful even with the skin rash improvement were clearly seen to improved after two or three weeks, or course the borax remedy I may use in 4 or 5 days out of a week with 2 or 3 day break.

The baking soda is taken 1/2 teaspoon twice a day and it is this alkalinity that can help most of the skin problem. However, avoiding too much Sun is important, some amount of Sun is still critical as it raises the body's immune system from the Vitamin D4 being produced which during summer the body can manufacture about 10,000 i.u. However too much can lead to worsening of DLE in the area where sun is exposed. The DLE has its ability to move around along the face, whenever lavender oil is applied and tries to change their location, and hence, if it is lightly applied it can avoid the face completely to other areas instead. In my opinion lavender oil 50% with some alcohol mixed seems to work the best, and perhaps a solution of borax in hydrogen peroxide 1% applied to the area, before a lubricant of vitamin E is applied can help kill the skin problem but works well if the body is sufficiently alkalized.

It should be noted that DLE flare ups occur mostly during winter and this is why vitamin D3 or D4 (or a cheaper D2) is most needed, which is around 10,000 i.u., but if not available 1000 or 2000 i.u. will do.

It should also be noted that cell death of monocytes and neutrophils and other white blood cells tend to be high in people with DLE and SLE are reduced if an unsweetened BLACK chocolates (made from 100% cocoa) or just pure 100% cocoa used for baking is eaten now and then, a favorable blood test of lupus might be noted because of the flavanoid rich chocolate, but it is somewhat synergistic with ocassional iodine mouthwash as the theobromine tends to reduce iodine and hence iodine is seen to offset some of the negative effects and the flavonoids my help kill the lupus. Supporting documents of its protective effect is reference below. The amount needed appears to be about at least 2 tablespoon or above of either black chocolate or cocoa, where I haven't quite calculate correctly the exact effective dosage yet, but I do know it is around 2 tablespoon which can be used as a starting value, and some tweaking may be necessary as my results are yet preliminary.

The same can be mentioned with possible ocassional cranberry as it is high in D-Mannose and some natural sodium benzoate or benzoic acid found there, and those quite cheaply without spending a lot money can help too. However, because of the lack of feedback on cooking unsweetened chocolate and cranberries, I can't say for certain at the moment its effectiveness, but has seen some major improvement and hopefully will update as information becomes available from my own personal sources.

As to your other questions:

If so , I guess I should stay away from consuming beer and breads ? Only white bread are ignored. The lining of beer may have estrogen bisphenol A plastic lining which further agravates lupus.

White flour is harmful because it is bleached therefore if I can buy un-bleached white flour, can I eat it?

No white flour is used, unrefined flour is better.

What can I substitute for yeast to make bread?

I might just eat rice or brown rice. It is a lot easier than to make a dough all you do is just boil it.

Is small amounts of tomatoe sauce tolerable for my condition?

Tomato sauce found in cans seem to agravate from the estrogen ones. Hence if this be taken only tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce packaged in glass bottles are safer.

There is a type of Italion sausage made with tofo instead of meat that I can buy, would that be o.k to eat?

Sausage is processed meat, and most dangerous kind. Tofu is o.k. and can replaced instead of meat, made from soybeans are a lot safer than packaged food packed in estrogen rich canned food from the plastic containers that breaks down in presence of acid and even neutral water.

If any additional questions just email me!."

LUPAZOL

Olive: Most known lupus that people are familiar with is the use of

use of borax, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, with an unknown

herbal remedy tincture that I am looking into that had a complete

cure. Someone has used black salve, dissolved with plenty of water may

have killed the rest of lupus, although I don't recommend them as it

causes gastrointestinal problems (bulging stomach), and the curing of

lupus is not 100% confirmed. As to the plaquenil, it is a problem that

seemed to cause partial blindness and prednisolone might be a bit more

benign, but a slow wean off is helpful in the long run. Whatever I do,

the single most important element is to get the body to be alkaline

first, with added hydrogen peroxide and borax. And if a herbal remedy

is added, such as black walnut tincture, licorice extract or some

other anti parasitic herbal medication is the best bet, at least for

me to find the complete cure. Therefore, some use of plaquenil or

prednisolone may help, but in the long run they needed to be

discontinued somehow."

CHEMOTHERAPY AND HOSPITALIZATION
11/24/2007: K writes: "Dear Ted, I have been doing research on lupus cure and found EarthClinic which I think is amazingly interesting. My 44 year old sister was diagnosed with lupus 10 years ago and has recently had a crisis. She went to see her doctor because she was feeling ill and her doctor put her on chemotherapy because the lupus was damaging her kidneys. Needless to say, she has not been out of the hospital since (October 15). She has been in the intensive care unit due to complications with her heart and lungs because according to doctors she has liquid in both organs or an infection. She has gotten better now that she no longer needs an artificial respirator but doctors say her body has not yet responded to treatments being that lupus is still active and there is nothing else they can do. She started eliminating 3 grams of protein, then 6 grams and last time I was told, 13 grams of protein through urine tests. She is very swollen and although she feels good, she can't stand up because she is extremely swollen. What can I do to help her?"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "

I was happy that you contacted me through messenger services mentioned to me that the "bugs" eat up the organs. While a person rarely survives on the 5th chemotherapy, a much safer remedy against lupus that I have tested to work fairly well as follows:

'

1/8 (woman's dose) to 1/4 teaspoon of borax, plus 10 drops of 10 H2O2 in one liter of drinking water, usually taken twice a day. Plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/8 teaspoon, if possible of the potassium citrate, in 1/2 glass of water, taken twice a day. Depending on how well a person tolerates the borax, the common ways is to start with 1/8 and in certain cases of lupus, some improvement further was possible as dose was slowly increase to 1/2 teaspoon in some cases. The key is to find a good comfort zone of the dose. H2O2 I have found to be the key to allow the borax to work much more better than the old formula of just borax.

 

I have also noted that people with lupus have crawly feelings, much like a nanoinsects eating up the organs. In fact my friend of mind the nanoninsect liquified the entire reproductive system before she died.

 

To help some organ recovery and regeneration some vitamin B50 and vitamin E is needed, plus a some aloe vera juice. An allantoin helps the cells regenerate better, while chlorella will help remove the free heavy metals which I have found many people with lupus touch or played with mercury, drink from old water pipes, live near a shipyard, or work with metals. Hence, it helps that chlorella supplements is taken to remove the heavy metal.

 

It is most important that the urinary pH be maintained at 7 for a quick recovery, which the major key to lupus improvement. But to get rid of bugs nearly complete or even completely is the use of borax. It should be noted that there is a possible cure by strengthening the remedy by adding the penetrant H2O2 drops to the one liter of drinking water to work best."

DISCOID LUPUS
11/17/2007: O writes: "HI ted, thank-you for your time. I wrote you yesterday but I feel that I didn't give you adequate info. to correctly acess my condition. I am 44 yrs old . I have been diagnosed with discoid lupus a month ago. It all started with blemishes on my right cheekbone area. I thought that it was just acne whick I usually got. I had been diagnosed with rasacea a few yrs back and my face would always seem red . Going back to the blemishes, when they started I was on holidays in Portugal and I guess with the over exposure to the sun , it made them worst. The blemishes or flare-up spread from the right cheek-bone area over the bridge of my nose and over the left cheek-bone area. The blemishes are very tender, pus filled but aren,t itchy. I am taking 200 mg of plaqunil, 1 tablet daily and have been taking them for 12 days. This doesn't seem to be controlling the flare-up's, in fact , it seems to have gotten worst. Before starting the plaquinil,upon waiting for the test results from the skin biopsy, the Derm. had me taking a oral antibiotic for 10 days ,applying a topical antibiotic, bactroban,twice daily and prednisone tabs for 3 wks. This seemed to have a better result but when the test results came back the Dr. said that the hair folicles in my face were being attacked by my immune system. He said the results were Discoid lupus. I don't feel any joint pain. I do occasionally have little sores behind my ears, occasional mouth sores and lip sores but my main concern is the blemishes on my face. Are there any foods that I shouldn't eat to avoid more flare-ups and what foods and vitamins can I take to help my problem. I've read that I shouldn't eat white or whole wheat bread then what type of bread can I eat. Alcoholic beverages in moderation, can I still have the 1 glass of red wine with meals? I read about the apple cider , baking soda and boric acid remedy. Would this be benificial with my problem ? I have started taking 2 seal-oil capsules a day since I don't eat much fish to get the needed omega 3 . Will this help ? should I increase the dosage? I really look foward to hearing from you as I am so imbarrased to leave the house with the condition that my face is in. God bless. Thank-you."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Actually some people who are diagnosed lupus, either has a SLE (systematic lupus erythematosus or a DLE (discoid lupus erythematosus), that being I have seem some photos of skin of the entire cheeks being torn off and leaking with pus, steaming.

The major problems were certain dietary food, which seemed to be cheese, steaks, bacon, milk, pizza, white bread, and bad water that tastes bad, if left overnight.

The remedy was to drink a clean bottled water as that person were used to drinking from tap, which were found to be high in heavy metals. The other was taking enough of the baking soda (either that or mixed with lemon or apple cider vinegar) to get urinary pH of near 7. A urinary pH of 5-5.5 seemed to be the average pH for a person with lupus, so raising the pH seemed to do the trick to cause the skin to heal or noticed soem healing the next day.

If I shouldn't eat these foods what food s would be benificial to my condition? I read about the apple cider, baking soda and borax remedy. Would this be something that I could try?

The foods that can be eaten appears to be fishes, baked, boiled, vegetables, nuts and some fruits. Chicken can be eatened now and then, but mostly steamed or boiled chicken soup. The worse flare up were from steaks, fried foods, and sugar.

The best remedy and simplest remedy possible is 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water twice a day, plus 1/4 teaspoon of borax mixed in one liter of drinking water, for men. Women seemed to require 1/2 of that dose. This will result in almost near normal condition with some small red spots.

Plaquenil seemed to cause blindness in many people I correspond with and medrol with lower dose seemed to be best in containing the condition, but no plaquenil is taken.

As to whether a complete cure is possible, I have seen a couple of cases, when taking with other herbal tincture extracts. Although personally I suspect those tincture extract may come from both the alcohol and the natural insecticidal properties from the chrysanthemum or neem taken internally. There are certain shampoo that contains pyrethrins that can be used externally that may help, but this is just a guess of mind since many cases of these lupus seemed to behave and respond in some ways like an insect, or technically a nanoinsect. But I am not striving for these discovery, but more of I getting a cure of lupus, which is close at hand, if I can identify them what exact element resulted in a complete cure of lupus. It would seem that once the herbal remedy were used, no doctor's med were needed.

Generally speaking, some vitamin B complex, some vitamin C, and magnesium should help improve the condition, although the B complex I think should be generally taken just once or twice a week to generally give strength to some people who felt weak from doctor's med.

The key to improvement is an electronic pocke pH meter is needed to monitor the urinary pH to be near 7, and take just enough the the baking soda (or preferably sodium and potassium citrate) to alkaline enough for the body to heal. Borax seems to be the second important key to the condition. I am presently exploring the third key at the moment. In the meantime, heavy metals seems to worsen the condition, and hence chlorella or chlorella spirulina, if from a good source, seems to help the condition too. But it should be noted that most cooking utensils are metal. The worse seemed to be the metal, such as iron. Oil based cooking seems to sop up heavy metals from cooking utensils like a sponge, and we eat them, further worsening the condition. Even boiling tea in an aluminum container or metal container is quite dangerous. Tannins seem to uptake a lot of metals during the boiling. Hence, if tea or coffee is needed, boil them in a glass jar, never a metal container. The metals fuels the lupus. Many people who work around metals seem to be susceptible to lupus, such as housing near a shipyard, drinking tap water from an old pipes, working near metal pipes and valve, or even working for years near a heavy machinery.

Would this be benificial with my problem ?

Yes, the baking soda & borax remedy will help a lot. But it has to be taken sufficiently for the baking soda for the urine pH to be near 7, and this will help the most for the skin.

Plaquenil rarely helped the condition. Certain antibiotics seems to work well such as the ones you mentioned.

The DLE can be quite scary at time, but the reversal can be quite quick if sufficient alkalinity is done such as 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water twice a day. A more effective remedy seems to be one whole lime dissolved in 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water two or three times a day. Some skin improvement will be noticed, at least reduced them. Although a 1/4 teaspoon of borax in 1 liter of water a still needed for 5 days out of a week and it takes about well through the second week to notice a tolerable improvements and some makeup can cover a minor rashes.

The best food to eat are generally boiled, steamed, fishes, rice, some chicken, ocassional chicken, and sometimes fruits, plenty of vegetables in salads. Rice is generally better than bread since most white flour were bleached using bromine and has not been helpful. It is important to generally avoid all fried, oily, sugar, steaks, and white bread. Aloe vera drinks, without sugar is quite helpful as well as the chlorella supplements. "

BORIC ACID VS BORAX
10/17/2007: Lisa writes: "Ted: I have had Lupus now for just over 10 years. I have refused any and all medications for this disease and refuse to put them in my body. Of course, my doctors keep telling me that I will die if I dont get on something. I went into the hospital because of what felt like lactic acid buildup, I guess experimenting with copper, i was detoxing way too fast. Dr's got a hold of me, drugged me up, pumped me up with over 1000 mg of steroids, given I dont know how many antibiotics. because of the steroids my heart was only beating 5% of its capacity, had stage 4 kidney failure, temporary diabetes, and hepatitis A, everything that could go wrong did. I felt raped. I was comatosed for 2 months. Could not believe they nearly killed me. Now I feel worse. On my own, I'm on Nystatin, 1tsp baking soda, and 2 tbsp of acv. I just now got my hands on boric acid, I'm not sure but I think that is the same as borax. Can you confirm if it is? And how much is a safe dose. Anymore suggestion or advice for me would be greatly appreciated"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "

A nystatin is a reasonable remedy, not a perfect one.Lupus has myocplasma and behaves like fungus, but in other cases a lupus can be misdiagnosed, when it is really Morgellon's disease. One easy way to tell if if lavender oil was applied to the skin, the red spots would run away to a new location within about less than an hour. Some people describe this as moving red

spots and some told me the insect bites seems to be located in the same area. Certain essential oils are somewhat insecticidal, especially orange oil, which comes from an orange peel. The dose I might use is 5-10 drops mixed in 1/2 glass of water, but a skin application requires that it be diluted down to below 5% in an alcohol solution (more like 1%) and applied to the skin to rid of isnect under the skin. However, a more effective remedy is the saturated borax in 1% hydrogen peroxide solution applied to the skin might be helpful too.

As to the boric acid, it is not exactly the same as borax. Boric acid is an acid form of borax, and the boron contents are much higher in a boric acid. Hence, if boric acid is used, although I won't use it, the dose is roughly 1/2 of whatever borax were if I were desperate enough. Then I would still add baking soda to neutralize the acid, such as 1 teaspoon of baking soda per liter. One example if I find it of extreme necessy is 1/16 teaspoon of boric acid plus 1 teaspoon of baking soda, to allow the baking soda to neutralize the acid. If a borax were use, things would be a lot easier, such as 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon of borax and that's it.

 

In the long run, I would much prefer buying a B.P. grade Borax, or USP grade borax, or even an Analytical or Technical grad from a chemical suppliers and use that. The best grade is the food grade, but I don't think they have that in the market.

 

A lupus is most important remedy is the borax and the baking soda, if I have nothing else to work on. It has becoming important that 6 drops of H2O2 added to the 1 glass of water can also return some energy back to the system.

 

You were got the right idea on the copper as being toxic to the mycoplasma. But their use is relatively difficult. Actually when they are given as a livestock feed for example, they will use a less than 1% concentration of either copper sulfate or copper chlorde and only a small fraction of that is use, such as a 1 tablespoon of the 1% solution. That's just the

technicality, but the copper chloride can be converted into a safer copper peptide by adding 0.5% solution of copper chloride to a soy sauce. At least that is how science laboratory does it when making a simple copper peptide, since the soy sauce is rich in amino acid.

One peculiarly well known amino acid is the Bragg's amino acid.

 

Essential oils are also antifungal, such as adding drops of it from vetiver, thyme, clove, cinnamon, are some of the possibilities.

 

The key getting lupus in control (just the foundations) actually is to raise the pH urine to 7,
