BETTER BUT NOT CURED

10/18/2009: Sylvia from Saratoga, Nsw Australia writes: "Hi Ted,

I am a 48yr female that has suffered with candida & Leaky gut for more than 20 years. However, I am now pre- menapausal and about 1-2 days prior to my period I get this shocking headache and feel extremely washed out. My tongue becomes very pale and my energy levels drop enormously. My Urine PH levels are between 6.75 - 7.00 now but I am waiting for my electronic PH Meter so that I can accurately test my saliva.

I have been taking some of your remedies (for about 4 weeks now) and although I feel soooo much better I still get this horrible headache.

The remedies that I am taking are as follows:-

1/2 tspn Bicarb Soda & 1/4 tspn potassium citrate twice a day on empty stomach.
1/4 tspn Borax with 1 litre of water sipped throughout the day
250mg Magnesium once a day
Vitamin C twice a day
Vitamin B
Primrose oil & flaxseed oil
Vitamin E
Digestive Enzymes

I no longer consume wheat, yeast, sugar, fruit, potatoes, mushrooms, lamb, beef and dairy
however, I do need the protein so I have Fish and Chicken.

Is there a vitamin or mineral that could help me with the headache........

Apart from the headache every month, you have helped me more than any doctor/specialist I have ever visited and I am truly grateful for this and can't thank you enough.......

Do you accept donations as I have spent literally thousands on doctors/specialists and would really like to offer you a donation for all your wonderful work! If so where do I send this to??????

Many thanks for your valuable time
SYLVIA"

I felt tired dizzy sinus issues and almost like asthmatic. So with dealing with all of that I gained 15 pounds in 3 months and was really depressed. I got to thinnking about my diet and realised I was eating pretty bad cheeese pizza dining out lots of salt ect. # days ago I checked my bp to see if went up due to the diet wieght gain as this has happened before. And it was 140/78 pulse 97. So I have changed my diet to no salt, cherries avacado seafoodfresh/frozen (not the breaded) chicken beans veggies. And started the cool water swims. After my laps I lay on the floatie in the water and put my head in the water and do a major head massage off/on 5- 10 minutes. So today after discovering this site and before doing the cool water swim my bp was 141/78 pulse 103 3:30 pm. So I drank 3 tbs of the organic ACV then took a capsule of Cayenne 450 mg did my above swim workout and after my shower my bp had dropped 122/68 pulse 89 5:58 pm. This is remarkable. The cold water feeling is truly a miracle. My head is clear I feel like a million bucks. ANd thanks to this website and wonderful people I started the ACV and am so happy how quick this worked. I also have lost 3 pounds in just 5 days. I truly hope this info is helpful to you alll out there. I wish you all health wealth and happiness."

[YEA]  03/25/2009: Jo from Hemet, Ca writes: "A few weeks ago my body simply gave out. The all over pain was excrutiating. I was laid off months ago and lost my insurance coverage and to be honest I cannot think of a time where the medical community has actually HELPED me. After a few days I finally braved sitting upright so I could research what my problem was online. I have been a big fan of Earth Clinic for a few years now, so it was the first place I went.

Current history:

47 year old female
hypothyroidism-taking .175 mg Levothyroxine daily
fairly good health-slightly overweight
Healthy eating

Symptoms-

Brain fog
Vertigo
Tinnitus
Body aches
Severe nausea
Memory loss
fluctuating temperature-high fever/chills-extreme coldness in extremities
ear infections
Night sweats-extreme
Heart palpitations

From this site I was able to determine:

1. Menopause had set in and the extreme hormonal imbalance had basically knocked out all benefits of my thyroid medication..in other words...it was NOT working.

2. The extreme body aches were actually my system shutting down due to the menopause and hypothyroidism shutting down my organs one by one.

So....I bought a multi-vitamin, Natural vitamin E 400IU (d, no L), epsom salt, evening primrose oil, baking soda and ACV. (had to go with what they sold-did not have the energy to go anywhere else)

Now I have 2 lemon trees, so I picked a bunch of lemons when I got home. I started by upping my Levoythyroxine to about .200 mg. (Many of the symptoms were reminiscent of those times when I was unable to secure a prescription and went without this med) First thing I did was the oil pulling-used olive oil. Then I used the Lemon juice and baking soda cure. 2 Tbls Lemon juice with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Took it on an empty stomach right after my thyroid meds. Next...ate breakfast-oatmeal-couldn't stomach anything else. Later in the afternoon- ACV and baking soda-same measurements. Lunch-then vitamins. I even drank the epsom salts dissolved in about 4 oz of water-that was nasty. Could not stomach anything for dinner and went to bed about 11:30 pm.

I awoke the next morning about 8am without being drowned in sweat. I got up...and was able to sit upright without having to cry from the pain. I managed to get myself up, and followed the same regimen as the day before. It took roughly 3 days, but I was able to actually move around in a somewhat normal manner with virtually no pain, tinnitus on only one side of my head, memory coming back, brain fog gone and energy on the upswing.

Residual symptoms-nausea (vomiting), vertigo, ear infections...ears plugged.

After about 2 weeks-I still was unable to overcome these symptoms. Back to Earth Clinic. Eventually, what I thought was an UTI was actually now what I believe kidney stones. The pain was located on my left side, just under my rib cage and burned down to my groin area (left side only). A burning unlike anything I ever experienced. In too much pain to get on the computer at 3am...I drank some cranberry juice along with 2 aspirin and tried to get back to sleep. My Earth Clinic research the next day alerted me to the Lemon juice/olive oil cure. 2oz Lemon juice and 2 oz olive oil. That worked almost immediately. I had originally scoffed at the posters saying that they could actually feel the stone moving...how stupid was I? I felt it almost immediately. Really strange.

The kidney stones were obviously the source of the nausea-as that was yesterday that I did the cure and I am fine today. I slept like a baby, by the way.

I have come to the conclusion that the ear infection-which is constant and plugging up my ears, also causing the tinnitus, is actually a sinus infection. I tried inhaling the steam from ACV this morning, which seemed to alleviate some of the pressure. I believe it is actually the oil pulling that is causing the mucus to come up....but still have this awful block of something in my head. It is affecting my eyesight...seeing stars type of thing, giving me a head ache, and still blocking my ears. I have put Hydrogen Peroxide in my ears and have had some success...

All in all...After breaking down my symptoms and curing them one by one with the wonderful community here on Earth Clinic...I think I have had GREAT success. I was even able to go outside today and pull weeds! I can't thank Earth Clinic posters enough for the difference your input has made in my life. Seriously, from near death to on my way to recouping the energy that I have always been so proud of....Thank you all!"

[YEA]  12/02/2008: Keith from Vancouver, B.C. Canada writes: "It was a few days week before my scheduled long holiday to Central America when I became quite dizzy while walking. I had a history of cancer. I thought that if I went to the doctor, and it was the return of cancer, I would lose my trip.

I felt if I turned my body alkaline that I would be okay. I had been drinking quite heavily for the week before, it seemed I kept meeting friends who wanted to take me for drink. I must of drank about 40 pints of beer that last week. So I decided just to go anyway, an use the natural cures when I got there. It was a grueling trip, and I felt more dead than live when I got to central America a few days later. Immediately I switched to a vegetable diet. I started taking apple cider vinegar 3 times a day , and used the spray method of Bill Munroe to take profuse amounts of h202.

I contined feeling dizzy for a week. Then I got hit with a series of tropical diseases..a cut on my foot wouldn't heal and it became infected. I got a bad cold. I got diarrhea bad from drinking the water.

I wrapped my toe with duct tape with cotton and acv on the inside. It healed in a day. I used the tomato juice cure for the cold. It disappeared in hours.The diarriah disappeared in a day when I took the garlic cure. Now, a month later, I am not dizzy, and feel strong . But I feel so good that I am just going to continue on with my regime anyway.

Thanks so much to everyone for their contributions.

Keith"

My b12 and vit D has jumped up to normal I was very deficient and starting osteoporosis. My blood sugar was 89 from 179. I feel better. There are still days that I am tired. ACV in my carrot juice along with sodium ascorbate, black strap molassis, sea salt, mag citrate, h202, coconut oil, raw honey and lecithin granules has helped me out. tremendously."

MYCOPLASMA AS CAUSE

04/06/2011: Tara from Cincinnati, Ohio writes: "There has been much study done and is all available on the internet free to anyone who is willing to research and follow the trail. All the above listed ailments have been linked to 'parent' disease cells called MYCOPLASMA. They attach to the body in many ways and can manifest in different people in many ways. This is common knowledge throughout a lot of Europe from what I am researching, but here in US they want us all sick for good.

There is too much research involved, I have literally spent hours on cures and preventions, just reading the basics, but many many claiming they can and have been cured, but of course, they are all silenced because the corporations behind the poisons they pass off as 'good drugs' stand to lose too much money.

Research Dr. Hulda Clark, Dr. Robert Beck and Professor Donald Scott. They have books, articles and videos of their conferences. Also Dr. Garth Nicolson. These are pioneers in these fields.

It has long been known by much of the world and finally now many Americans that much of these 'parent' diseases were no where originated in 'nature' - they were man made- and hence, also have cures. These doctors/professors teach all natural and low-cost remedies for their treatments and although they sell their books, most if not all of their info and remedies can and is found for free on the internet.

Companies keep profitting on keeping us ignorant, so what do we really have to lose? Just our health and the health of our kids and loved ones... Hope this helps someone. Thanks EC!"

At first I didn't really feel much but my wife all of sudden started to have better digestion and colon pain relief, so I considered to keep takng it. After about a month I suddenly stopped having the urge to smoke and now can't even stand the smell of smoke. Drinking alcohol on a weekly basis has also not been an urge. After about 2 months I started noticing less and less grey hairs even my wife would tease me about since I'm still only in my thirties."

PHASE ANGLE TESTING

10/08/2010: D.ron from Madison, Wi, Usa writes: "How do you know if you are healthy?

You can observe your signs and symptoms and determine if healing is occurring. Or you may use kinesiology testing (not very accurate). Or you can take a battery of tests that only check small areas of health. Or, you can have a Phase Angle test performed. Phase Angle is an accurate OBJECTIVE measurement of the body's (the whole body not just a small part) health. Phase Angle results (layman terms) are the body's ability to:

1. Produce Energy
2. Ability to Heal
3. Ability to reproduce healthy cells

Your body produces billions of new cells every day. Are these new cells really healthy, somewhat healthy, or weak and unhealthy? You need to know this. Why is this an important health test?

1. If testing is low you are sick, tired, worn out and may be diseased. For example, think of your cells in your body are like a rechargeable car battery. When new, it holds a charge well (healthy). Overtime it wears out until it can no longer hold a charge (sick and/or diseased). There are electrical tools that can accurately determine the life on a car battery and whether it can still hold a full charge or if it needs replacing. Phase Angle accurately determines the life (health) of your body's cells in a similar fashion. But unlike the car battery which cannot repair itself. You can repair/cleanse yourself and have an almost unlimited life span.

2. There are three important ranges associated with Phase Angle. Generally:
A. Above 7.0, Good Health, (unfortunately, hard to achieve).
B. Between 4.0 and 7. 0, Subnormal Health (most of the generally population is in this range. Weak, tired, sick. )
C. Between 0 and 4.0, Very Weak, or Nearing death

I'm a Chiropractor and in my practice I use Chiropractic, Massage, Physiotherapy, and have the patient focus upon eating Good Foods, Regular Eliminations, Ending Bad Habits (smoking, drinking, sugary foods, starches), Exercise, and Proper Supplementation. And, we raise patient Phase Angles doing this and improve and extend life. The medical community uses steroids, antibiotics and amphetamines... But these drugs may ultimately kill you. They are not designed to be used long term. If you are starting a health care program I recommend you have your Phase Angle tested. Then whatever protocol chosen can be measured and you will definitely/objectively know if it is working/not working for you. There is no placebo effect with Phase Angle. It is very accurate and objective. And, most individuals tested fall below their healthy normal range indicating Subnormal Health and an inability to reproduce healthy normal cells. Unfortunately Phase Angle Testing does not directly tell you what to do for improving your health. That is best determined by you and your doctor/healer/support staff."

Only outward manifestation of something being wrong is the thick white coating on my tongue. This I read on here could be liver, candida, and a herbalist just told me my whole colon & intestines are toxic. On top of the rest of the severe pain I get utis every 2nd day. Herbalist says extreme internal heat encourages bacteria. I have been doing everything on here for the liver, for utis, for candida. Been using chlorella, charcoal, enemas to try to clean up my bowel for 2 yrs now with no improvement. My body won't let me eat rubbish but I don't have the constitution for raw veggies. I feel better if they're cooked. Any suggestions please. Another year has passed & because I can't go near people I'll be spending yet another Xmas by myself."

11/15/2011: Abby from Bangalore, India writes: "I was suffering from Urinary Incontinenience, Urethritis, Stomach problems, Acid reflux, Insomnia, Red spots over the body... I thought ACV will be the only & last medicine which will rescue me from all these & bought Bragg's ACV only from Mumbai... Initially when I started I got heavily constipated & finally I had to stop taking it... Please all suggest me something... Please help."

Replies
11/16/2011: Connie from Slc, Ut replies: "Hi Abby, When someone has so many symptoms, it is difficult to suggest one simple remedy because many more are needed. But when I see a case with multiple issues like yours, I can see that a B12 deficiency is involved. With B12 deficiency, there is inflammation, an acidic condition, even metabolic acidosis. It is needed to help convert proteins to useable amino acids in the body. Otherwise, the proteins can become inflammatory to the tissues. With B12 deficiency, nerves also become inflamed and injured. We can end up with a variety of conditions, even some that appear to be opposite of each other. Some people may have insomnia or hypersomnia, some may have urinary retention or incontinence, and some may have constipation, diarrhea, or alternations of these. With B12 deficiency, there can be an intolerance to all acids, even beneficial ones, such as ACV and other naturally fermented foods and drinks. This can be really frustrating, because these substances are so helpful with digestion and countless other processes.

I suggest that you begin with B12 supplementation, either injections, ( best from a compounding pharmacy that doesn't use metals as preservatives, stabilizers) ; or sublingual lozenges of methylcobalamin (active B12, 1000-3000 mcg. Daily) , first for a few months before adding naturally fermented foods. I usually recommend a low dose B-Complex with B12, because they all support each other, but it may be better to wait a month before adding that. I also suggest that foods which are most easily digested be eaten now, such as homemade soups with extra gelatin added. ( the amino acid glycine can be very good for the nerves and for sleep). Leafy greens have alot of potassium and magnesium, ( good for nerves, sleep, and constipation). Also for constipation, try 1 oz. Aloe Vera gel in the morning followed with a large glass of good water. A tea can be made with 1/2 oz of dandelion leaves in a large mug of water steeped for 15 minutes in the morning an hour before breakfast. The healing of the digestive tract and nervous system can take many months to a year."

11/16/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia replies: "Abby I came across an intriging article from Dr. Orian Truss... Who in 1953 discovered he could treat people with multiple symptoms with iodine therapy.. And in most cases they completely healed.

From the article:

"In 1953 Dr Orian Truss discovered the devastating effects of antibiotics in an Alabama (USA) hospital (3). During a ward round Truss was intrigued by a gaunt, apparently elderly man who was obviously dying. However, he was only in his forties and in hospital for four months. No specialist had been able to make a diagnosis. Out of curiosity Truss asked the patient when be was last completely well.

The man answered that he was well until six months before when he had cut his finger. He had received antibiotics for this. Shortly afterwards he developed diarrhoea and his health deteriorated. Truss had seen before how antibiotics cause diarrhoea. It was known that Candida was opportunistic and thrived in debilitated patients, but now Truss wondered if it might not be the other way round, that Candida actually caused the debilitated condition.

He had read that potassium iodide solution could be used to treat Candida infestation of the blood. So he put the patient on six to eight drops of Lugol's solution four times a day for 3 weeks and soon the patient was again completely well.

Soon afterwards he had a female patient with a stuffy nose, a throbbing headache, vaginitis and severe depression. To his amazement all her problems immediately cleared with Candida treatment. Some time later he saw a female patient who had been schizophrenic for six years with hundreds of electroshock treatments and massive drug dosages. He started treating the woman for sinus allergies with a Candida remedy. Soon she had recovered mentally and physically, and remained well.

From then on he treated his patients against Candida at the slightest indication of its presence. Many of his patients made remarkable recoveries from most unusual conditions, including menstrual problems, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, autism, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis and auto-immune diseases such as Crohn's disease and lupus erythematosus".

The red spots on your body could indicate candida/yeast/fungus within the body (iodine will kill these). Iodine also regulates acid in the stomach. Also the urethritis will clear up with the iodine. You need to buy Lugols (5%) look online.

I would also buy some magnesium (citrate) and drink green juices.. They are full of magnesium. As Connie says the B12 is good. Aloe vera contains B12 so you could add that to your juices.

Iodine is needed in the body everywhere so you would be best to keep taking it for the rest of your life (of course cut down the dose to a smaller amount. I take around 3 drops per day as maintenance. Iodine also removes heavy metals, flouride, bromide from the body.

11/04/2011: Asha from Bangalore, Karnataka, India writes: "Hi

I am 58 years. I was told by my dentist that I have a dentigerous cyst and 3 impacted wisdom tooth. 2 months back I underwent the operation for the removel of the cyst and the wisdom tooth under GA.

After 2 months my tongue is still swollen, the edges are red and there is dryness and burning on the tip. My lower lip also feels numb and there is still slight swelling and at times pricking sansation.

6 years back I had my gallbladder removed. From the last 2 years I am suffering from stomach problems. Tried all types of medicines and antibiotics but no relief.

Sometimes I am very normal and then suddenly I start with this upset stomach. It starts with normal motion and after 2 there is mucus, I feel weak and tired and low with shakey hands and legs. Then I lose some weight too, which is regained when I am ok.

Please advise."

Replies
11/04/2011: Connie from Slc, Ut replies: "Hi Asha; With the anesthetics for dental surgery, Nitrous Oxide gas is often used. It destroys vitamin B12. If people are low, then this can be very injurious to their health. Sometimes it takes a while after the procedure to show up, so it is difficult to connect the two. The symptoms of sore, swollen, burning tongue are associated with a lack of B vitamins in general. The numbness of the lips is a strong sign of nerve injury from a B12 deficiency.

A B-complex plus extra B12 is needed. I usually recommend a sublingual lozenge of B12, but if there is alot of nerve pain in the mouth, it may be better to begin with injections until the inflammation is resolved. ( please make sure that injectables are not tainted with metals. ) B12, B6, and Folate (B9) will help with digestion and the cells that line the GI tract. They also help stop loose stools. Stomach acid may be low, ACV helps as well as B6. Probiotics and naturally fermented foods and drinks will help with GI trouble from antibiotic use. Gelatin broths will also heal the whole GI tract. A dilute Iodine mouth rinse will lower infections. I emphasize B12 because the nerve damage may spread very quickly if it is not replaced very soon."

10/18/2011: Jules1 from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England writes: "Now that I've found this site I can get some natural remedies advice. I'm suffering greatly from acid reflux, a hiatus hernia and quite bad gastritis. When I get the pain it's quite severe and antacids do not relieve it much. I'm also on a Proton pump inhibitor and it just doesn't help. What remedies may help? I don't think the Apple cider vinegar will help as I read that you can't have it for gastritis. I'm sick of this awful burning pain and I can't sleep with it. Eating is difficult too. I don't drink alcohol or smoke. What has helped others? Thanks"

Replies
10/18/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia replies: "Jules1 STOP taking antacids for a start. Acid reflux is caused by a lack of stomach acid. Antacids decrease stomach acid even more... You are adding to the problem and making it worse.

Iodine regulates stomach acid... Order some online and read the book by Dr. Brownstein on iodine... Google it. No doubt you have other issues thyroid etc. Because iodine deficiency causes body wide problems. If you don't treat your acid reflux it will turn into stomach cancer according to a Dr Flechas on youtube (google him).

Iodine is a natural antibiotic and also anti fungal, anti viral - it will help your gastritis. Research iodine."

10/18/2011: Mike from Montreal, Quebec replies: "If Proton pump inhibitor don't work then maybe your stomach is not producing enough acid. Have you tried Betaine HCL ?

Since you have gastritis, you may want to take Betaine HCL with plenty of water and only on a full stomach. Hope this helps."

10/19/2011: Timh from Louisville, Usa replies: "Jules1, I too have suffered gastritis for many yrs. Three recomendations. One, get some spinal adjustments from your local Chiropracter (if chiro is practiced in UK). Compressed or misaligned disk can cause gastritis. Second, wear a magnetic belt over your tummy, this will reduce inflamation and eliminate bad energy. Third, at any moment of flareup, I chew 2 DGL combined with 1/4 spoon of Allantoin to promote healing of the gastric lining. This works for me, I hope it helps you."

09/20/2011: T from Houston, Usa replies: "Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with mother 2 tablespoons in 8oz lukewarm water 3 times daily between meals.

2-3 tablespoons organic, cold, unrefined coconut oil or coconut butter from glass containers. Most Plastic containers/jars contain BPA which contributes to low thyroid per my naturopath.

Increased mineral consumption with daily morning green juice, made fresh at home, without pulp. Juice celery, cucumber, parsley, little ginger, juice of 1 lemon and drink every morning preferably on empty stomach. Miraculous in shifting low thyroid symptoms within 2-3 weeks.

Eliminate white foods from diet, no sugar, potato, flour, bread. Replace with coconut or almond flour, agave (only in moderation), other root veggies, sprouted grain breads found in freezer section of groceries.

Walk 3-4 miles daily which will boost your thyroid.

See a chiropracter who can suggest natural remedies as well as adjustments that will fasten the healing process.

I reversed a severly low thyroid with the above within 3-4 weeks.

Good luck! :)"

Replies
02/01/2011: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Davenannette... The main problems -- mental sluggishness, weight gain, diabetes, dry mouth, depression, low energy and hives can all be related to low iodine levels or fluoride poisoning. For a full list of ailments/symptoms caused by this see the table at this link:

Fluoride Poisoning and Iodine Deficiency Symptoms

And here is some more research concerning just lugol's iodine treatment for a 320 lb lady with diabetes. Suprisingly she was quickly both able to come off her insulin meds and she lost 75 lbs without changing her eating habits. See this link:

Iodine, Diabetes and Obesity

Lugol's Iodine supplementation not only seems to improve diabetes but also appears to improve glucose/lipid metabolism -- possibly helping to remove heavy metals like cadmium, lead, aluminium and mercury from the body.

The RA is probably a result of a depressed and weakened immune system caused by lack of dietary iodine giving rise to poor thyroid operation.

Iodine Deficiency

* 2 - 4 drops of lugol's iodine in a glass of water or fruit juice per day (split doses).

* 250 mgs Magnesium Chloride or Mag Citrate twice day. You can also buy Magnesium Oil (70% Magnesium Chloride dissolved in 30% water) and rub it directly into her joints and sore areas. Magnesium also acts synergistically to aid iodine transport in the body.

* 200 micrograms Selenium once or twice a day.

* At least 1000 mgs Vitamin C (as Ascorbate) twice a day.

RA Remedy

See this link. The options are:

* Taking Borax. Add 1/8 tspn borax (20 Mule Team Borax is fine) to a litre of water and drink this every day, 4 days a week only.

* Eat Cilantro in a salad twice a week and drink green tea everyday. This will help to remove any heavy metals from your wife's body.

* Take 2 tablespoons of ACV in half a glass of water with 1/4 - 1/2 tspn baking soda -- twice a day to alkalize the body.

* 5 - 10 drops 3% Hydrogen Peroxide in a glass of water two or three times a day.

If you can, it would help if you could give a full list of your wife's ailments including medications that she takes. This will make it easier to pinpoint other drug related problems."

01/31/2011: Tk from Boston, Ma writes: "Dear Ted,
Overwhelmed... where to start?
Dealing w/mild Lupus symptoms(masked w/butterfly mask & sun sensitivity but no real serious complications to date), lichen planus (itchy rashes slowly spreading), raynauds (cold hands/feet almost always), 3 golf ball size fibroids(took surgery for removal but high-risk bleeding, procedure came to an immediate hault; now deal w/monthly clotting and pain as they come), intermittent claudication(swollen painful discolored ankles for months now), varicose veins(can't seem to stop spreading), iron deficient anemia(lacking in iron and calcium, had 2 tranfusions to date, white cells seem to grow at a very slowest rate or Lupus attacking wht. cells quicker than I make them), heart palpitations (docs found small hole spilling blood but tis is the least on my list of concerns), HPV positive w/PAP negative(yet another internal mess to deal with), to top it off diagnosed with hypertention, fatigue, and stress (no surprise here), and add a possible connected tissues disorder/disease along with the above others.

So again, where do I really start with this messy make up? Too many doctors just as confused as I am to truly trust them all. Honestly think I have a guardian angel that's brought me along this far but I know I need to do more in this life. Just turned 46 yrs of age and the last ten years have been walking on a tight rope of dreams. Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance or thoughts that you may have.

P.S.

Just started taking Apple Cider Vinegar w/mother in water daily. Tried it 2 yrs ago after transfusions.. Don't really know if it did anything internally benefical. Did get some comments of external glow showing, but that may have been all the new blood cells from the transfusions at work. Use holistic remedies when can afford; herbal teas; organic foods. Need to drink more water always and can always use more exercise.. I get little now with my ailing ankles.

Also, trying to add better nutitional diet daily which I think has always saved me in the past. Have a very low meat diet (some sea foods, chicken, but no red meats and porks ever).
And last but not least absolutely Refuse to take steriod meds.

02/01/2011: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Tk... Although your array of ailments appears to be baffling, the majority appear to be symptoms of a significant iodine defficiency.

Virtually all your symptoms seem to arise from either Fluoride poisoning or Iodine deficiency and these symptoms are all shown in a simple table as determined from research from the Iodine Project. This huge list of symptoms is given in a table at their site here:

Fluoride Poisoning and Iodine Deficiency Symptoms

From this table you will see that Lupus, thirst, skin rashes, cold extremeties, stress, adrenal fatigue, heart palpitations, claudation or edema, fibroids, hypertension etc can all be regarded as "symptoms" of iodine deficiency and/or fluoride poisoning. Add to this a possible imbalance of vitamins and minerals through poor diet and you will have a plethora of additional symptoms as well.

The remedies are given below:

Iodine - The Prime Remedy

* Two drops of 5% lugol's iodine twice a day outside mealtimes.

* Magnesium. Taken as Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Gluconate - 250 mgs twice a day outside mealtimes.

* Selenium. 200 micrograms once or twice day. Taken at mealtimes.

* Vitamin C. Taken as Ascorbate -- 1000 mgs twice a day outside mealtimes.

* Alkalize using 2 tablespoons of ACV plus 1/4 -1/2 tspn Baking Soda(Arm and Hammer brand is fine) twice a day outside mealtimes.

Note: Taking iodine will automatically help to remove the fluoride from your body and will also help to remove cadmium, lead, aluminium and mercury. The magnesium, selenium and vitamin c, from recent recent research, also helps, supports and speeds up the transport and assimilation of iodine/iodide throughout the body -- including iodine used in the thyroid, uterus, breasts etc.

Your additional symptoms of skin rashes and low iron and platelet count would seem to indicate that the excretory or purifying side of the blood by the liver and kidneys is somewhat stressed. Therefore as additional support, I would further recommend:

Liver and Kidney Support

To be taken at lunch and dinner:

* 1000 mgs Chanca Piedra twice a day.

* 1000 mgs Milk Thistle twice a day.

* 300 mgs Alpha Lipoic Acid twice a day.

* Take either 1/2 tspn of natural sea salt or fulvic/humic acid once a day outside mealtimes. Both will help with mineral support and synergistic absorbtion. Fulvic acid also helps to remove poisons from the body.

Note: Selenium, Magnesium and Vitamin C -- already mentioned above -- are also hugely beneficial to the liver and together with Alpha Lipoic Acid constitute a Triple Antioxidant Therapy that is very beneficial towards detoxing and reviving the liver, blood purification etc.

02/01/2011: Lisa from Marrakech, Morocco replies: "Hello Bill, thank you so much for this very informative post. Recently, I have been spending hours online trying to find some steps I can take for my many health issues--low iron, slightly enlarged thyroid w/several small nodules, elevated blood pressure, newly diagnosed fibroids causing heavy bleeding and clotting, etc. I was begining to believe it might be low iodine levels causing much of this. I wanted to know if you think taking iodoral would be the same as taking lugol's? I thought it would be easier since I will need int'l shipping. Are 2 drops of lugol's equal to 12.5mg of iodine? Is it possible to have a negative reaction when first starting with this much iodine or should one gradually work up to this amount? How long should I follow this regimen that you described? I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I think I might finally be on the right track to better health!"
02/01/2011: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Lisa... Taking Iodoral instead of lugol's is fine. Dr Abraham from the Iodine Project actually developed and formulated the Iodoral pill as an equivalent and more convenient supplementary form of lugol's iodine. Essentially, one lodoral tablet is equivalent to 12. 5 mgs of iodine/iodide and equals two drops of 5% lugols. So 1 x Iodoral tablet is equivalent to the maintenance dose of 12.5 mgs per day. For any major problems such as fibroids, its best to take at least 4 Iodoral tablets(50 mgs) per day in split doses daily for best results. See this link here:

Dr Abraham's Iodine tablet

The above website gives good advice.

Dr Abraham and other researchers on the Iodine Project all say that allergic reactions with supplemented iodine are quite rare. If you haven't ever used iodine topically before, then just test a small area of your skin topically with iodine to see if you re allergic before you supplement. I've been taking lugol's for 4 years now without any noticeable problems or side-effects.

I would work up to the 4 tablet daily dose over a few days just to be safe. When I started taking lugol's for my candida problems, I didn't waste any time -- I went on the high dose straight away... LOL... Which was perhaps less a measure of my own stupidity and more of huge wish to get rid of my own candida at the time!!

Your own cure is likely to take months rather than weeks or days. So stick with it. You may even get a Herxheimer reaction (flu-like or liverish symptoms from a pathogen die-off) -- this is quite normal. But it will really be for you to determine whether you are cured or not. But once you feel cured, then simply drop back the iodine dose to 12.5 mgs(one Iodoral tablet) a day as a maintenance regimen. My own belief is that women need much higher iodine doses than men because they have somewhat superior and more complex upper and lower plumbing (breasts and uterus) than men. Iodine Project researchers all have said that the necessary dosage to supply just women's breast alone with sufficient iodine can be over 100 times more than the iodine needed for the thyroid. But even now, the Iodine RDA recommended for men is still higher than for women!! Ridiculous indeed!!

And after menopause in women, the need for iodine as well as for magnesium can increase quite significantly in order to avoid and prevent problems such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure etc.

The actual breakdown of the need for iodine by the Iodine Project is like this: In men 2.5 mgs is required by the thyroid, 5 mgs is required for the rest of the body. In women, an extra 5 mgs of iodine is need because of the extra needed of the breasts and uterus. So men only ever really need about a 7.5 mgs maintenance dose whereas women need a a full 12.5 mgs a day for iodine maintenance.

It's also well known that we all lack iodine in our western diets now, so a maintenance dose of 12.5 mgs/day is always necessary for full iodine health. And any iodine excess in the blood is easily disposed of by a healthy set of kidneys."
02/03/2011: Tk from Boston, Ma replies: "Hi Bill,

Thank you for responding so quickly to my post and with such promising info. I was really beginning to wonder if anyone could make any sense of it all. Your suggestion of Fluoride poisoning and Iodine deficiency was an huge eye opener for me. I read the suggested materials offered and was blown away by all the different ways I poisoning myself on a daily basis. On that note I am determined to change all of this asap.

I had never heard of Chanca Piedra before so I did an extra look over all info I could find on it. Very incouraging info. At first I though it to be another name for the Senna herb of which I'm familiar but found no match.

Anyway, I am so greatful to have you even suggest it with the other remedies. I have yet to give it all a try as I am still shopping for all suggested reccomendations. Between my ailing ankles/leg that keep me hobbling at a snails pace (w/shooting nerves pain at times) and our current snow showers in New England I plan to venture out within a day or two to get everything.

I also have a med appt. Soon and plan to let them know of trying this remedy instead of the toxic meds. As soon as I start this remedy will keep you posted on my results to come. I am so thrilled about all that you've suggested. Keeping my fingers crossed. Sincere thanks again Bill.

03/15/2011: Lisa from Rabat, Morocco replies: "Bill, this is a follow-up question regarding the liver/kidney detox. I have been following your protocol (minus the alpha lipoic acid) for a week now. Would you expect there to be any detox reactions from this program? I noticed you made a mention of the Herxheimer reaction, but I think that was refering to the iodine? I was planning to do the liver/kidney detox for a short time prior to starting iodine, but I have not been feeling well since I started the detox."
03/16/2011: Bill from San Fernando, San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Lisa... While going through a body detox and repair for both your liver and and healing your thyroid, it would be fairly normal for anyone to get a Herx reaction. This die-off and toxic clean-up reaction from both the thyroid repair and liver detox and repair is bound to put your body under some strain for a while. This is also not a quick cure, it will take a while for your liver and thyroid to recover (months rather than weeks). I had a constant flu-like, low energy reaction -- it was like my candida symptoms suddenly got worse -- when I started taking similar supplements for my own candida problem -- this lasted well over a week for me but Herx reactions can vary in length. I just ignored it and I eventually came out of it and got better. It took me a full year to cure my systemic candida problem.

You could, of course, cut down on the supplement amounts if you wish, but this may slow down and lengthen the recovery time."

I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and I was told that I had an infection, which was treated with antibiotics. I only took the antibiotics because I was desperate to try anything to ease my pain. (I have used garlic and/or honey when I feel any kind of illness coming on, and that seems to prevent any infections.)

I developed a flat, yellow/whitish coating on the very back of my tongue. At first, it felt like something like a piece of hair was stuck in the back of my throat. It kept getting worse, it didn't hurt, it was mostly annoying. My friend and I thought that it may be thrush (from the antibiotics). A pharmacist recommended that I try acidophilus. I began taking it, and saw some improvement, but it didn't go away. I went to the doctor who told me that she thought that I had mono or allergies. A throat culture found that it was NOT yeast and it was not strep throat. (These results took 2 weeks to get.) I was skeptical about the doctor's opinion. I bought a bottle of acidophilus and probiotic complex and followed the directions on the bottle, taking 2 pills of 2 billion organisms per tablet. I took them after breakfast and by that evening, my tongue was fine, CURED. I developed a cold sore in the corner of my mouth about a week ago. I am completely drawn out, tired. I started to hurt when I swallow last night and went back to the doctor today. I feel as if I am falling apart! She finally did some bloodwork, but told me it will be a week until I get the results. When I told her that I cured my tongue problem, she said it was probably a result of lack of water! I find that hard to believe. I am looking for a new doctor who can admit that they don't know the cause of something and that will seek out the answer.

I am going to try the virgin coconut oil after reading about it as a cure for mono and viruses.

I don't have a diagnosis to work with, just symptoms. I love this site and have had every single thing that I have tried on here work for me. Has anyone else had similar symptoms and can offer any suggestions?"

EC: Hi Gj, please note that your question has been posted on our Multiple Ailments page and not on the Poor Circulation page (where you submitted it from).

02/28/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Gj...You seem to have quite a serious problem. It is quite odd that you and your children all appear to have similar problems.

These problems might be caused by polluted food or water in your diet. Excessive concentrations of heavy metals, fertilizer poisons and halides like chlorine, flourine and bromine, would certainly create the proper conditions for these growths(probably fungal) to appear and flourish. Even your 11 year old's leg problem could be the result of a hidden growth in his lower spine. I'm surprised the doctors didn't look for this, considering all your family's current medical problems.

Another reason for these fungal growth appearing might be in your house itself. Does your house have a basement or attic? Does your house have any mould, damprot, dryrot or any other fungal problem? You must check this for the sake of your family because even household mould can infect humans and cause strange problems because fungus is so incredibly adaptable at survival. If there is a fungal problem in house then get rid of it.

Do any of your neighbours have similar fungal growth problems within their families? If this is a yes, then the problem will probably be the food or water supply. And if you confirm this to be true, then you should report this problem to your local area health adviser and ask them to pursue the problem.

Meanwhile, I would advise that you and your family should eat an entirely organic diet -- with clean bottled drinking water -- until you know for sure the outside cause of your family's problem.

Their are many fungal remedies that are covered by Ted, and the most useful against fungal growths would appear to be:

* All of Ted's alkalizing remedies given here:
http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/alkalizing_formulas.html

* Take hydrogen peroxide as drink 2-3 times a day. You should buy food grade HP and dilute it to 0.5%. See the link here:
http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/hydrogen_peroxide.html

I could also suggest many other secific remedies that may or may not help your family's condition. But, since I've only ever treated my own candida problem(also fungal) plus treating others for arthritis, diabetes and gout, I could not be sure whether I could help you or your family.

Therefore, I would ask you to directly email Ted from E C(request EC to send your email on to Ted), since he is the microbiological and chemical expert and also a successful healer, and I know for a fact that he has just treated a family with very similar circumstances and similar symptoms to yours very recently.

To EC: It might be a good idea for you to put Gj from Houston's post on Ted's Q&A age, since this seems to be quite a serious environmental problem for the whole family."

EC: Thanks Bill, will cross-post to the Q&A section and skype Ted with the questions.

I am SO sensitive to herbs and some supplements and it's becoming worse all the time. I have adrenal fatigue and need glandulars, but my body reacts to them and some B complexes just to name a few. All of my joints start to hurt,I feel like I've been plugged into and inflammation socket. I have fibromyaliga type muscle pain and twitches,joint pain,raynoids, restless leg syndrom, which is worse when I have a glass of wine (anythoughts on that?). I read about adrenal remedies and think "maybe that's what I should try", then I read about Borax for fibromyaliga and think "that's what I should try too". Would a good ole liver detox with bedonite clay help it all? I'm 51, used to be very athletic and now I'm reduced to walking. The other night my entire spine and neck was on fire, with a bad headache, I almost went to the ER thinking I had spinal meningites(sp). I was having a reaction to one of the new supplements I was taking for adrenal fatigue. I've already taken wheat out of my diet (haven't noticed any improvement), I see a homeopath, she's helped some things, but not the "big" things. I started ACV last night for my joint pain, but everyone says the pain returns when they stop drinking. Isn't it just getting rid of the symptoms and not a really cure? I use mag lotion every day and night which helps my muscle knots, and I take powdered mag drink (heaping tsp) very night. I take digestive enzymes, zinc, copper,Vit C, Bcomplex, just started Kombucha and I drink a protein shake and add Omega 3-6-9 blend(atleast 2 TBS), fresh parsley, L-glutmine, berries,1/2 banana every day(it has given me alot of enegry.

I have been a ballet dancer my whole life and have taught now for 25 years. I have tried many of the remedies on this site beginning last December. Of which I have seen the benefits of many but none had the results I was looking for until oil pulling. I use sesame oil. I have had the best results by starting at 2x per day- once in the morning and once in the evening at 20-30min. Then, after seeing the pain reside, I dropped down to once a day. That was after about a month. I have continued religiously because the relief was so great. Then last week, due to time crunch and honestly, a bit of hubris believing that it probably was somewhat psychological, I stopped for 3 days and on the fourth day my legs and hips were racked with pain. My husband, who is always very sympathetic was rubbing my legs for me seeing the pain I was in and asked me, "What have you been doing differently? I haven't seen you like this for awhile." I told him I hadn't oil-pulled for 3 days. Of course, you know his response. I went right back to it although it took a couple of days for my body to respond. Anyway, it's a very gentle and easy remedy based in Aryuvedic therapy. I'm not really sure why it works so well and have tried researching to see if anyone can really explain but so far, no one can give a real explanation. BTW, I have done, ACV, baking soda, digestive enzymes, Chinese herbs (found some relief), chiropractics, green drinks, H2O2, massage therapy, light therapy, heat therapy...geez.

07/27/2009: Frustrated from Newport News, VA writes: "Alkalinity Questions and Problems with Mouth

First of all I want to express sincere gratitude to this site. I had suffered from a squeezing feeling in my throat for 20 years and felt like an old woman due to repetitive attacks accompanied by fatigue, etc. I tried asking doctors who stated they did not know what it could be even when I told them I was once diagnosed with GERD. I had not had the heartburn though, just the choking sensation. About three months ago, the symptoms became so severe that I nearly went to the ER for not being able to breath to a severe degree.

I finally researched and found I had symptoms of severe laryngeal reflux which should have been obvious to any doctor. I looked on here and tried Ted's remedy of baking soda and ACV (ACV alone caused burning in my stomach) and felt the first release I'd had in 20 years. It made me angry that doctors did not take my complaints seriously especially when I learned that the acid might have caused erosion or even cancerous lesions. I now take an OTC PPI and the ACV/baking soda daily, but believe I have a hiatal hernia and may need other intervention since even with massive improvements I still get about 4 attacks per week which I help with baking soda, breathing a special way I found on the Internet or other natural remedies. It is truly chronic and truly awful.

I also complained to my PCM that I had large swollen glands under my chin which she did not even feel because (military base) she said I could only tell her about one illness per visit. I started feeling horrible pain and researched again and found that I probably had salivary gland stones. I tried sucking lemon or chewing sugar free gum and both relieved the pain and shrunk the swelling. Again I am angry and very distrustful of doctors at this point. I recently also learned about the importance of staying alkaline and am horrified that this is not made common knowledge in health class in school or by doctors. It is a travesty and would be a simple preventative measure for all.

At start about two months ago I was very acid with saliva average of 5.8 and urine of 6.0. My urine average is now 8.0 but my saliva is still 5.8 - 6.2 and this is very worrisome. I believe I have disease condition in my mouth as shown in the saliva gland blockages and also by soreness of tongue and two spots of leukoplakia as well as constant white coated, rough, dry tongue and mucous in throat. I also have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which causes compression of nerves and pain/numbness in neck, shoulder, arm, and hand on right side. The conditions together create an ongoing sense of unwellness and frustration because if one does not bother me another does all day long. I am using exercises and stretches for the TOC and it helps temporarily.

I would like to know what I can do to raise my saliva Ph, what remedies I might do for the mouth conditions, etc. I thought of applying food grade hydrogen peroxide directly to the white patches. I am using tee tree oil mouthwash, brushing with baking soda, doing sesame oil pull, and taking 80 mg of Lycopene a day which is said to help get rid of leukoplakia. The spots are smaller especially if I brush them but frustrating and scary as well. I feel like my health is breaking down and I may consult a naturopath. I also know I need to go the a regular doctor but am afraid based on experiences in past.

IF anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful as everything I have tried so far has worked. Overall, I feel 20 years younger, have lost weight, etc. so am happy all except for these mouth conditions. Thanks!"

07/19/2009: Tracy from Luebeck, Germany writes: "Hi, I could'nt find where i should write questions so ill try here, I have also tried some remedys that ive found good results, so ill include them.

Im 33 & since I was 13 have been experiencing horrible problems with my cycle. so every month is hard. I was in the beggining irregular so was precribed the Pill, this I took until I was 27yrs. Various different brands depending which was recalled in this time!! I was also perscribed Pontstan 500 & 40 for pain experienced. In the eary days I remeber having nausea with my period & also every time i had a stool movement. Although I dont remeber actually being sick, it was more mood swings & extream pain. Around 14 i lost interest in many things I had before enjoyed & preferd not to be with people very often, i became reclusive. I was before a swimmer & hores rider & very active & pleasent to be with.

The last 10 yrs have become more extreame.
Today my Period is between 23 - 32 days, on the 10 -15th day of my cycle i become unbearable, nearly screaming at the smallest thing, very negative & damn right horrible. Its not nice, so i hide myself, dont want to go to work.

I experience extream anxiety at times & was bettween age 16 - 23 diagnosed with severe anxiety & depression. & of course tried in that time antideps, i came off them fast when I started to get strange vision problems, lights from my peripheral vision & couldnt cope better but worse. Since this time it has been a horrible up hill struggle with different therepys, & doctors. from conventional approaches to Ayurvedic, chinese, tibetan, christian!, tried all.

Today & for the last few yrs I have been experiencing a worsening of symtoms, & severe vomiting 30mins after my period starts, just enough time to get a bowl, water by my bed & by the toilet so i dont dehidrate & then hold through. 30mins after menstruation begines my body eliminates all!! I have normally 3 - 4 stool movements becoming looser each time, then begines nausea & when ive vomited it doesnt stop. last week I got my period at 5am was sick 1st at 5:30am until 9:30 pm every 15 - 20 mins. In this time my basel temp reaches its lowset at 35.5, tremmours, numb legs, fever but with so low temp, sweat running off me, & i become totally delirious. not knowing ever when this will end. some months i am sick just one time, sometimes for four hrs. I have experience in the last two years 5 time as bad as i have explaned, 10 - 15 hrs severe vomiting.

I have Hashimotos, adrenal innsuficiency, Iron overload, high zink, to low cholesteral, food intolerances wheat & some milk products, although i am still not sure, I have been having extream problems with blowing up & abdominal pain for also around 10yrs. I have ridiculous allergys like to beards!! when somebody kisses my on the cheak with a beard it burns & gos red, also same with animal hair & saliva. I had Liver disfuncion also at age 17 due to the pill, then i had to stop for some years. The liver results today are good i belive due to dietry lifestyle changes & supporting alot with chinese herbs. My morning bazel temp is always low, due to the hashis, around 36.

I am told I dont have Addisons, my bigest concern for some months know as it seems im having an addisons crises with the start of menstruation. I am also extreamly hot headed, this has got worse over the years, for this reason I have anxiety & dont trust myself, as i never know how i will react with people. Its horrible. I am scared to see doctors because they stop at the Hashis & say I must start thyroxin, for them this is the answer, for me its not. I have read more about adrenal disorders & the symtoms & wonder if this is why im being so sick. It takes me weeks to recover fully after a bad one.

I am taking 3 glasses of Kombucha daily, self brewed. to see if it helps with the hashis (reading here about bacterial infections being sometimes responsibe, i had horses as a kid too)
Im also doing the live green drink 1 ltr daily, to clear toxins & because it feels so good.
Im oil pulling with sesame oil 2 time daily for general health & gum problems.

All of these I found here on this site & am gratefull. I have been doing all for 6 weeks & my gums are great, healed. I had atheletes foot very bad, with nasty cracks between every toe, nothing for years has helped, today its gone : )
my energy levals are better & ive not had to have a power knapp every day at times to be able to funcion : )
my skin is clearer, my tounge no longer swollen, was always very fat before with deep teeth indents.
so Im happy with these results.

My boyfiend of 6 yrs has left me 2 months ago, cause he cant cope with the symtoms, & mood changes, this has naturally added excess stress to life at present, although i feel oil pulling got me better through.

I have a very strange heart beat that seems to do its own thing! i was once monitored as i though i was having heart problems when i was around 20yrs, the doctor thought I was nuts, as they seem to often, or dub me a hypochondriac. I know im not.
I feel this must come to an end, I wish for a life I can lead, not anxiety for every week of the month because it brings me problems.

I can compare weeks & have taken notes for yrs on basel temps, moodswings, cravings, diet & there is 1 week when im great : ) very chirpy, positive & full of good ideas & lust for life. Thats only 12 weeks a year! to date, 396 days in my lifetime so far!!! is that normal? no way. nor is it fun.

Ive tried to keep this short as poss & get the jist, hopeing maybe someone can help me to find some solutions.
I am know very scared that im experiencing addisons crisis, if it is then more regulary it seems. I am also know alone when this happens is that a good thing or dangerous? I dont wish to be OTT but im sure this is somehow extream. I also wish to maybe see a doctor, I though about an Osteopath maybe, but i react badly when they are stopping at the hashis as the main problem & also telling me these are all chronic & require hard damigin drugs to controll. I refuse to take hormone replacement. my experience with the liver after perscribed drugs has brought that about.

I hope this is legdable & makes sense, I am obviously rather dyslexic.

I would be gratefull for any feed back & advice regarding remedys or doctors I could try, & should I find someone who could be with me when I experience these extream vomiting phases, or should I go to Hospital? that also brings about fear of what they will put in or take out today!!

yours hopefully Tracy : )"
