[YEA] 06/13/2009: Molly from Rocky Mount, NC, USA writes: "I have struggled with weight issues since childhood. I can look sideways at a piece of cheesecake and gain five pounds. However, this all change recently with the addition of this wonder supplement to my diet. A few months ago, I began a popular portion-control diet that is low in fat. In 9 weeks, I'd lost 12 lbs. I then added a new fat blocker to my regimen. I began noticing quicker results with weight loss BUT I still suffered from low energy levels, yeast overgrowth, severe cystic acne... among other ailments. Searching for acne remedies here on earth clinic, I read one lady's entry which advocated the use of aloe vera and milk thistle. In the past week, after consuming approx. 10oz of Aloe Vera Juice per day, taking 250mg of milk thistle with each meal, and washing my face with apple cider vinegar water, I feel like a new person! In the past week, my acne has healed about 60%, my vision is clearer, I don't need massive amounts of stimulants to wake me up in the morning, my eczema is vanishing, I have plenty of energy, my dry and cracking heals have begun to heal, and I've lost 6lbs!"

10/01/2007: Atoya from Washington DC writes: "I just recently started to develop acne after my 25th birthday, before I would have a pimple or two only around the time of my cycle. Since then I have basically tried everything I could get my hands on over the pass eight months or so to rid myself of this embarrassing ailment. One day on one of my usual quests to find a real cure, I went to the Vitamin Shoppe looking for some type of multi-vitamin, hoping that I would find justice. An elderly Sales man, who was very knowledgeable, told me that my liver was full of toxins and Milk Thistle and Aloe Vera would clear my ailment right up. I took 200mg of Milk Thistle a day and 1 capsule of Aloe Vera and it did just that. After about a week later, I could see a huge difference - no breakouts. Your bowel movements will become more and more frequent which is what helps to release the build up of toxins in your body. He told me to take it for about 2 months and I should be okay. I still keep some on hand but at a lower dosage since my initial cleanse, I take 70mg (a lower dosage) two to three times a week for maintenance. It is not good to take any type of herb for an extended period of time unless recommended by your physician. Believe me, this inexpensive concoction is a sure-fire way to rid you of all of your stubborn acne.

[QUESTION] 05/16/2009: Muffin from Millville, NJ writes: "I have been wanting to try ACV for a long time, I believe it could be beneficial for Me but am worried because of multiple health issues, I am Diabetic, Anemic, have Hypertension, Arthritis, Degenerative Disk, Gerd, am Overweight, and suffer from Neuropathy.
I take Lantus insulin, gabapentin, lisinopril, zoeloft, percocet, Lovastatin, Terbinafine, and methocarbamol.
My question is what are the risk with ACV all these Meds? And what if any are the benefits to bones?"

[YEA] 04/17/2009: Shel from Eugene, OR writes: "I wrote previously to say how impressed I was with oil-pulling. Now I want to sing the praises of ACV. I'm a type O (blood), have never liked sour things and have always avoided vinegar. I recently reread my book and realized that ACV was approved for me. I have a lot of issues--candida, herpes, psoriasis and they have all been improved by taking ACV. My face was seriously broken out with psoriasis, a week ago, and I began applying ACV morning and night and drinking it several times a day in juice, water, whatever. My face is now completely cleared up. I also have a yeast rash almost all the time, from too much sugar, etc. That completely cleared up, too, also with topical application. I also applied it topically to a herpes site that was beginning to tingle and that went away, too. No constipation or bad side effects of any kind.
What I would like to point out is that everybody cannot expect to have the same results. That's the beauty of this site and the variety of experiences and remedies available. My other point is that attitude is everything. I never try things with the mindset that it "probably won't work"--why should it not? Sometimes, it's just a case of not having run across the right thing for you. However, people are often loth to admit the psychological aspects of illnesses and many people's specific illnesses are a huge clue about their lives, attitudes and personalities. I think the number one factor in getting well is the willingness to let go of whatever is wrong with you. Many people are dependent on their illnesses without realizing it and a frightening number of people are unwilling to do anything to help themselves. Maybe you will find these comments unappropriate for this website but I think they're valid and my hat is off to the people who organized this website and the people who write in, who have had the courage to try things and thereby help themselves and others. Finally, it is true that there is a period of adjustment before you really see a big change with any natural therapy. Never give up if results aren't immediate--unless, of course, something really drastic happens. I had a few really discouraging days but now I feel better than I have in as long as I can remember (I'm 65 years old.)"

[YEA] 02/11/2009: John from Spring Valley, New York writes: "I recently started using ACV for a multitude of problems including joint pain and high blood pressure. I could not believe the results I got in just one week. My resting blood pressure dropped almost 10% and I have no pain at all anymore in my sholders or knees. My energy level hasn't been this high in a long time. I take 2 tsp of ACV in 8oz of a 50-50 mix of concord grape juice and lemonade with every meal. It tastes so good I actually look forward to having it. The sweetness of the grape juice combined with the sour of the lemonade hide the ACV completely. I also use grape juice and seltzer. I hope this helps."

[YEA] 06/22/2008: Carol from Newhall, CA writes: "I just had to tell others that have experienced stomach problems (had gallbladder removed 8 yrs. ago), sinus problems, allergies. asthma, and yeast infections that the acv has really changed my life! that is the organic acv from trader joe's! I had poop and gas problems. I had breathing problems too! I even got off my inhalers including my steroid! I am also trying to lose weight. I feel healthier and can walk and exercise more now. My social life had changed to not wanting to go out of the house or being away from the toilet! If you try a little bit to start, get used to it first. I was drinking one capful to one cup of water about three times a day. It has also led me to drink more water. I will let you know about weight loss as I am trying walking and taebo. By the way I was also having chronic fatigue, but when I drink the stuff faithfully, I feel great! (Also it helps your bowel to not smell bad.) So if you try it start small and dilute it. Don't burn yourself with it straight because it is a acid base. Good luck!"

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA
1 QUESTION
[QUESTION] 09/15/2009: Angelclare from Valencia, California writes: "Okay, the more pages I read, the more confused I get!! (I've got EBV, CMV, HHV-6, plus other stuff, so my brain doesn't work very well right now. And just had my first major AFib episode leading to hospitalization, which scared me to death.) My questions:
I read with great interest all the oil pulling information, but I started gagging right away. Then I read Ted's suggestion about pulling oil instead of oil pulling, but didn't understand that either. Is the "oil pulling" the granulated lecithin plus drinking baking soda in water three times a day?
And all the stuff about ACV and Baking soda: Are you supposed to DRINK it or just swish it around in your mouth like the oil pulling?
Thanks for any clarification. And by the way, if I look for an answer to my question, WHERE would I look for it? In "Latest Posts" ? Or under Oil Pulling, or under "ACV"???
Great web site! But may I suggest a search engine?"

[YEA] 12/19/2008: K.Lynn from Mt.Healthy, Ohio writes: "hello everyone, I just waned to say what a difference these health tips have made for me. this is the 1st fall season I have not come down with a head cold that went directly to my chest and lungsand I credit that to the acv,organic bs,and local raw honey. heat 4oz. of boiled water, and put bs,acv,and honey in that order(cuts down on fizz of bs). I've noticed some complaints from some about the acv's sour and burn,the bs and honey will change that (i'm diabetic and that tbsp does not raise my sugar either).It's 2or3 tbsp of acv, half or whole tsp of organic bs and tbspor half of raw(local)honey. This mixture has also helped my breathing (overweight and smoked for years) edema(swelling) in legs reduced to normal, acv w/diet has brought my sugar down 200pnts. go back and try the acv mix it can't hurt and will help. MANY BLESSINGS!"

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES
[YEA] 03/24/2009: Harsha from Grand Prairie, TX/USA writes: "Hi: I came across this website after trying numerous prescribed and over the counter drugs for a bunch of problems I have. I must say the concept and the information on this website is priceless! Thanks for all the remedies people have posted here and their feedback's on it. I'm a new follower and I'm already impressed!
I'm currently taking black strap molasses for my lower back pain(I've had back pain since last 5 yrs. now). I take 2 tbsp in 2-3 ounce of water everyday, I read you could take it anyway as far as you're consuming 2 Tbsp/day. It's been couple of months taking BSM and I see the results very clearly, my back pain has reduced a lot and I feel much more energetic too!
I'm also taking ACV(Apple Cider Vinegar) for my severe pollen allergies. I tried taking the amount given on earth's clinic website, but seems like my body is too acidic (My acid reflux problem increased to the extent that I couldn't take it anymore). Then I read Ted's comments and realized that adding some baking soda to it will help. So this is what I've started taking now and it seems to work fine for me so far.
2 Tbsp ACV in 32 ounce water with 1/2 a tsp baking soda. I make this mixture twice and keep drinking it all day long. It's only been a week with this new mixture and it seems to help me fight my allergies well already!
I also tried oil pulling today with 1 tbsp of sesame oil and 2 drops of wild oregano oil. I did it for about 12 mins.(which is the max. I could do on my first day) so I coudln't achieve the foamy/white color. But I sure will keep trying!
I would like to thank everyone for the continous support and look forward to reading more remedies/cures for a healthy living."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, COCONUT OIL
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 05/18/2009: JEN C. from Salt Lake City, UT. writes: "I have been using ACV for nearly a month now and oil pulling with EVCO. I have been sleeping nearly 100% better and my digestive system has greatly improved. However my energy levels are still very low and I am still suffering from migraines about 4 times a month. I am interested in starting H2O2 therapy to see if it will benefit these two debilitating symptoms. Is it recommended to do all three simultaneously? If not, what do you recommend?"

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, H202 INHALATION, CAYENNE
[YEA] 08/14/2008: Jim from Stettler, Alberta, Canada writes: "I have been taking Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) for about a week now and am amazed. 2Tbls in water 3 times a day and H2O2 spritzed into my throat twice a day - when I remember. Got used to the ACV quickly, the H2O2 still tastes like crap but they are working wonders so I keep on. Had sinus infection for decades and, as a smoker, congested lungs. Both cleared up within a week! Also, pain in right shoulder and left elbow is gone.
Came here to find a solution for a friend's sore throat. Number one cure was Cayenne which she can't take. Two days later I woke with a sore throat so on the way for coffee I stopped at a store and got some Cayenne. Put a 1/4 tsp in my coffee and before I finished the cup, the sore throat was gone. Amazing. Thank you EC for all the help. Next, 5-HTP for chronic depression."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
[YEA] 06/11/2009: Bob from Memphis, TN writes: "I have been doing the h202 inhalation method for about 2 months now. I spray about 3 or 4 times per day, each time about 6 shots. It seems I can breathe deeper when I am working out than previously. I have been taking the ACV for a little bit more than 3 months. I just added the baking soda this week, I read about it over the weekend. I have been doing the h202 therapy food grade in water for 57 days. It took me 50 days to get up to doing 25drops in about 10oz of water 3times per day. It is really horrible tasting stuff but I am not experiencing the metallic after taste you are except right after I drink it. It is kind of a pain because you need to time this stuff. They say drink the h202 1 hour before you eat or 3 hours after you eat.
Here is the schedule I have been using. I drink the h202 and the ACV at the same time around 7am. I don't eat breakfast I drink some protein about an hour later. Around 11am I drink the h202 and ACV again (not mixed together) just 1 right after the other. It will make your stomach a little queezy but it doesn't last long. I eat lunch around 12 or 12:30. I drink the last h202 around 5-6pm and eat an hour or so later. I am doing the ACV only twice per day with 3tablespoons in 8oz of water with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. The results I am having are as follows: some part of this makes your skin look really good, quite glowy and youthful. It is making my arthritis worse so I am hoping that is a good thing and it will hopefully subside as I keep doing the therapies. The h202 makes me rather hot feeling and when I workout I sweat more than I ever have before. I hope that is toxins coming to the surface. I feel like this is ridding my body of unwanted toxins that probably have been accumulating over the years. I am 52 and got arthritis of the spine (osteo) in about '03 and I also have it in my right knee and right shoulder. So, in all my research on this sight I decided to try natural remedies to see if I could cure myself of my various ailments. Not a fan of Doctors or the pharmaceutical industry here. I have never tried an arthritis medicine that worked for me, they just upset my stomach really bad and cost a fortune.
Oh, one more thing, I have always had severe allergies in the spring. The pollen here in Memphis April and May is a killer. This year I had absolutely no allergy problems during that time. Usually I stay loaded up on allergy meds till it gets really hot. I am getting ready to add drinking borax in water throughout the day. Trying to rid my body of the metallics which I hear can be a major contributor in arthritis. Anyway, that is my take on this stuff to date. If I can find a natural cure for something that ails ya', I'm all for it. Hope it helps someone out there."

[YEA] 06/22/2008: Debbie C from Palm Springs, CA writes: "I had received email from your site some time ago and just left it sitting in the IN box thinking there might be some healthy choices I could make in order to regain my health. Last night I start OP and now am doing more reading n the ACV and Baking Soda. I have known some time about the health benefits of alkaline diet and keeping the body in an alkaline environment.
Like many, I have become lax and lazy in my eating and fitness. I am 60 lbs overweight and my joints ache just about everywhere but especially my fingers. I am 55 years YOUNG and feel 80 some days. I started OP last night with virgin olive oil and SWISHED while I sat in the infrared sauna. This morning I noticed my hands were not as stiff an swollen as they have been these past few days. I am currently SWISHING a mouthful of sesame oil as I check my email. I intend to get some organic ACV and start the plan for the weight loss as well as reintroduce myself to my treadmill. I will keep you posted and become a regular on the site. I am looking forward to getting my life back. Thank you."

BAKING SODA, APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, COCONUT OIL
[YEA] 05/24/2008: Mo from Amsterdam, The Netherlands writes: "I read about using Baking Soda as a deodorant and have been using it for the last 3 months. I had tried everything - crystals and a product with lemon juice and its essence - all very good but it did not always protect the entire day. I am very happy to say that Baking Soda has been the best I have ever used - 100% effective - lasting the whole day and longer. When I shave my underarm I use Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) for at least 2 to 3 days in order to allow healing before resuming with Baking Soda. (Please do this to avoid burns). VCO is also very good but has not consistently protected all day long. I have been spreading the word to health conscious friends.
Like others, I think this site is a god-send. Thank you. I have started using Baking soda as a facial and all over body scrub; then I apply ACV and finally VCO to my face. I have been quite consistent for the last 3 months including Ted's advise regarding large facial pores. I cannot believe that my skin looks so beautiful and smooth at the age of 41. I always had beautiful skin now I look even younger - it simply is amazing!!
I have now starting being more consistent with drinking ACV 3 times a day because I need to loose at least 16 llbs. Since the birth of my third child 11 months ago - it has been a very slow process. I am hoping that in a few months I can be write a post like many others - saying that I am loosing weight. I also plan to ingest VCO and also start using it for all cooking as well. I began eating 1 tablespoon of Black Strap Molasses every morning. I try to eat a very healthy diet. So I guess soon I will not only look good but feel great as well.
Thanks again for this wonderful site!!"

[YEA] 03/20/2009: Briana from Indianapolis, IN writes: "I have been taking borax internally for 5 days. I haven't been following the 1/4 tsp/gal rule but have been taking it mixed in hot green tea because I needed to drink a lot of tea and I noticed the borax dissolves better in hot water. Because I didn't have a good method of measuring precisely into 8 oz I just take the tip of my finger, dip it in the borax and whatever sticks to my finger I put in the tea. So far no ill effects so I don't believe I am overdosing. I have been drinking upwards of 10 cups of green tea and Shizandra detox tea (for liver, chest congestion, and cough) per day for the last 5 days. Also I started drinking ACV 2 tbsp and 1/2 tsp baking soda in 8 oz of water yesterday. I also started oil pulling 4 days ago. I mention these other remedies in case they have had an effect on the progress of my illness, but I believe most of the progress has been due to the borax (although the oil pulling is remarkable at removing plaque and tartar, my mouth feels like I just came from the dentist).
I don't usually get sick but my health has been rapidly deteriorating for about 5 weeks. It took me awhile and some research to link the strange acne, skin rash near my eye, and intense sinus headache without much mucus and sensitivity to beer to going to a friend's house for his birthday last month. His pit bull has an odd skin condition unidentified by vets with redness and some hair loss which they say is not mange (not that I have confidence that they would know). I know this because I remember he asked me about it and I gave him an oil mixture of emu oil, VCO, and immune boosting and skin healing essential oils which he says has improved the condition. Anyway I came to conclusion that I had contracted whatever disease the dog has by petting the dog and then probably rubbing my eye. I imagine it involves mites or other small insect, fungus and/or yeast. I have very sensitive acne prone skin, but my acne has been generally under control due to diet, OCM, etc. until just the past few weeks where I broke out with increased rosacea-like redness and odd cysts that did not want to heal. I also had a nonstop sinus headache which drinking more water did not help without much drainage and a cough which did not produce much phlegm. After a couple days of research (which is how I came across the borax treatment for mites and fungus) I self-diagnosed myself as having a combination of candida, fungus infection of lungs and sinuses, and mites infecting the skin. I think I may have already had the candida (probably from working in bars around so much secondhand toxic smoke) and it depressed my immune system.
The very first day I started taking the borax I began to pee green which I was very pleased about since I knew it was from die off. I peed green on and off for a couple of days, and my pee still has a slight tinge to it at times, but I believe most of the candida, bacteria etc. is dead by now. (BTW, I had already been drinking copious amounts of green tea for a couple of days without this effect so I know it was due to the borax) I also treated my face with the borax/H2O2 in water and the acne and rash were almost gone after two days, and the spots are now healing. A rather disturbing effect of the borax taken internally is that you could feel it working. I now know exactly where all my sinus cavities and canals are because I could feel them burning one after another (I did not know I had a cavity in the top of my head and back of my head linked by canals behind the ears and over the top of the head and behind the eyes to the sinus cavities in front. I wonder what these are called?). Interestingly my bad wrist and toes would burn also, and a small area of my lower left abdomen (inflamed intestine maybe?). The most disturbing sensation was to feel critters die all over my body in the middle of the night. Needless to say I did not sleep well, the sensation could drive a person raving mad. Also, yesterday morning after oil pulling my right nostril began to drain lots of thin watery and waxy clear yellow-orange fluid. I have no idea where that was from but I assume it was a good thing to get rid of it.
Three days into the borax treatment my week long headache went away. The strange acne is now healed (5 days - internal and external treatment). I still cough and have some chest congestion but now at least I am coughing productively. I am hoping the chest congestion will clear up soon. My bad wrist and toes do not hurt as much nor pop as much as they used to. Possibly I had beginning stages of RA (I am 29) and the borax killed of the mycoplasma? I don't know but I am happy about it, I didn't expect the treatment to help."

[YEA] 03/07/2009: Eileen from Bath, NY writes: "Healing is Happening! I have been using VCO for a little over 3 weeks now. I have had a persistent bubbly, red rash that comes and goes on my legs for many years. Also, break out on my face with pimples. I also have Fibromyalgia. I heard about the benefits of VCO and started taking it. Over the past weeks, I have noticed several things to indicate that healing is happening. I stopped using cortisone cream for itching on the rash and apply VCO 3 times a day. I am now taking 4 Tablespoons orally. My rash broke out worse at first, but is now beginning to subside. My face has been sloughing off- my pores are becoming clearer all over my entire body. I went through a lot of breakout at first and even a couple of sties in my eyelash areas. I had some nausea and loose bowels, but that eventually passed. My nails are really stronger and healthier. My hair is shiny and soft. I haven't yet seen much improvement in my Fibromyalgia, but, I am looking forward to some kind of positive healing in the near future. I had a wart on the instep of my foot that is almost gone. My skin was dry and itchy all the time and I have seen a great improvement. Initially, I had a lot of sneezing attacks and a lot of clear mucus draining out of my nose. In the mornings, my eyes would water profusely. That has all stopped. I breathe much better than I have in many years. I used to crave starches and chocolates. I don't have those cravings any longer. I have found that if I take a tablespoon of VCO 1/2 hour before a meal, I eat less. I have lost a total of 8 lbs. My breath is fresher and I stopped having to use deodorant. I am looking forward to what the future has in store for me and I am hoping to improve my metabolism and energy level. I will update in a couple of months to let all of you know if there are further improvements."

[YEA] 05/29/2009: Deborah from Hedgesville, West Wirginia writes: "I happen to come across this sight by accident. I've read all comments and was amazed with the results everyone had. I have acid reflux, back pain, arthritis, headaches and being a menopause women for 25 years at 51, Men as well as women can have menopause too. My weight sky rocket, pain became unbearable, started to effect my job, my life. Being an Armed Guard you have too be physically fit.The doctor wanted me too quit work and stay dope up on medicines and draw SS, no way. So I decided to do an experiment with everybody's advice just too see what would happen. I took 1-16 oz of bottle water, 2 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 tablespoon of pure honey, 2 tablespoon of pure lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil. I ate what I usually do, some exercise.1 week later I felt so good I had more energy than my 11 year old granddaughter. The people I work with could not believe what they were seeing. I lost weight, no pain of any kind, energy you would not believe, my entire body look good as a women in her 30s. I just had my annual check up and the Doctor was amazed as in puzzle. Everything was wrong with me a month before was corrected. He said he didn't know what I was doing but to keep it up.
THIS IS THE ONLY DRINK I USE ALL DAY AFTER MY MORNING COFFEE. It's been 2 months and still going strong. I can't say this will work for every one ,but I can state that it did work for me. All ingredients are organic and pure only available in health food stores. You might paid a little more, but it's worth every penny too me, not to be sick and in pain. Not only living life but enjoying life. Doing things with my granddaughter never thought I would.You all have been a God send too me. Thank you my new friends all over the world for giving me back my life."

Appreciate the tips - Sandee"

07/02/2009: Philip from Dearing, GA writes: "I read alot on this site and I am learning new stuff everyday.I believe one of the most important parts of healing the body, mind and soul is through nutrition in our diets. If we don't clean up our DIETS...Then we are only treating symptoms and not curing the body.
I think all of these remedies have thier place and are great at curing up some of our symptoms, But let's all get on changing our habits of what we eat. Food does matter.
A guy on a TV show the other night said ( Cheap food is really not cheap, because it comes back to make you very sick ) Think about all the money you can save,if you cure your body with food. So if it's not organic and fresh,raw or frozen. DO NOT put it into your body. Also what what you drink. There is alot of information out here now and we all need to study and live by it at least 90% of the time. Even if you fall of the ban wagon 10% of the time, I'll bet it is still better than most of us are doing now. Detoxing is also great to and I am seriously considering doing the mini beet protacal."

ELIMINATE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, MSG, AND TOOTHPASTE
[YEA] 05/10/2009: Shari B from Small town in, WI writes: "Thank you for the information. I recently was having unexplained muscle pains, head aches, stiffening of joints, chronic fatigue & more. My doctor tested me for numerous things, and he was unable to diagnose my problems. After cutting several things out of my diet (MSG, artificial sweeteners) I was almost functioning normally again, but could not get rid of the pain. When I finally stopped use of my tooth paste, my pain went away.
I'm not sure if it was the fluoride, propylene glycol (antifreeze) or the sodium lauryl sulfate. All those ingredients has serious side effects. I tell everyone - read the labels!
I brush with baking soda now."
09/22/2009: Penny from Half Moon Bay, Ca replies: "Try mixing equal parts of baking soda, peroxide, and sea salt together for a tooth paste it is great for cleaning your mouth."
09/24/2009: Lin from Qld, Australia replies: "Hi Penny, Can you mix this up monthly or do you have to mix as neeeded? "

[QUESTION] 05/04/2009: Kristen from Bayonne, NJ writes: "My boyfriend was suffering from severe abdominal pain for nearly 2 days. He had two prior "attacks" months earlier that we beleived were something to do with his gallbladder. He went to the ER afer hours of vomiting and sever abdominal pain. They ran blood tests, cat scan, x-ays, and ultrasound. Finaly we were told that he had gastritis, an inflamed gallbadder and also a low t-cell count. He was prescribed Nexium. I am very concerned about the low t-cell count. Thet did not tell us the count.I would like to know if anyone has a clue as to why the t-cell count could be low? He does not currently have health insurance so he is unable to see a Dr. right now. I would just like a possible cause to put my mind to rest until then."
