04/02/2011: Caitlin from Burlington, Vermont, Usa: "I am a young college student who has been having some strange symptoms over the past week including; nausea, organ tremoring, intense fear of death, painful headache on the right side of my head, feeling like bugs crawling up and down my leg, pain on the right leg all the way from my sacrum to knees to toes, an odd rash that a doctor told me was fungal but wont go away with the topical treatments, and restlessness/anxiety especially at night. I thought maybe I had candida or toxic shock but this is not so.

I have been trying to detox for the past 3 weeks using designs for health and opticleanse ghi drinks (though innaccurately folllowed as I was having too many shakes and too many of the wrong foods -- even though they were seemingly the right ones I. E. Dates, honey, nuts, seeds). My above listed symptoms lead me to contact the nutritionist who recomended the diet and she pointed out I was really not detoxing the right way. So I've been in a nutshell researching ways to recover while fearing that in any given moment my body could go into toxic shock... fortunately this has not happened yet and I am certain it will not happen.

SO... last night I ate some of the wrong foods again (now im just eating simple foods to get off the detox -- college detoxing is somewhat difficult) but they seemingly could be the right ones; I. E. Eggplant, tomatoes, salt, raw miso. AND I ate late at night. So I woke up feeling exhausted, super nauseas, super congested in my belly, and I thought holy shit I might vomit or die.

So I grabbed 3 pellets of Arsenicum Album, a remedy I recently bought under suggestion by a homeopathist. Arsenicum Album says its for food poisoning, but its really for bad food combinations, anxiety/exhaustion, neediness in case the Arsenicum person may die or get sick (I was calling everyone who could help me, which lead me to here).

So an hour after taking this I am already feeling much better. Nausea is gone, belly still sensitive and gassy, but I feel like my body is clearing. I will be taking a second dose in an hour and a half if these remaining symptoms are still here. I will also be eating simple foods like miso soup for the rest of the day."

[YEA]  02/13/2011: Wendy from Mission Viejo, Ca, Usa: "I was feeling very nauseous one morning before I ate breakfast and vomiting was imminent. Tried the alcohol swabs on EC and it didn't work. So I tired 12 drops of Lugol's iodine in about and ounce of water. Within about 15 minutes, the nausea went away."

[YEA]  11/16/2007: RLA from CLAREMONT, CA: "THE REMEDY MY FAMILY HAS USED FOR NAUSEA IS A BIG DRINK OF PURE LEMON JUICE. THIS USUALLY TAKES CARE OF THE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. IN CASE OF PERSISTENT NAUSEA, I TAKE A LEMON WITH ME AND BITE IT WHENEVER THE FEELING COMES BACK."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  07/17/2010: Leriejane from Seattle, Wa, Usa: "Chewing mint gum significantly reduces my nausea. Usually the nausea is from feeling dizzy or car sickness. It doesn't completely take it away, but it keeps me from feeling worse."

[YEA]  03/31/2012: Designer from Washington, Dc: "For the past couple of days, I've been feeling really nauseous after eating. I tried ACV thinking it would help since it works for a lot of ailments, but it didn't. I knew that probiotics are really beneficial to the digestive system, so I thought why not give it a try. I took 2 capsules each time and felt relief in a matter of minutes. I was so amazed. I used the real-deal type of probiotics that you have to keep in the refrigerator (bought from the health food store)."

06/23/2011: Geraldine from Athlone, Ireland: "I have a terrible fear or phobia for nausea and been sick, im trying to find natural remedies instead of tranxene, what is good for nausea. My daughter seems to have this fear too, I have IBS I take probiotics for this, they help. I have tried Apple cider vinegar it give me teerrible wind and cramps,please explain about the black tea as ive never heard of it, if try anything.

04/17/2009: Selena from Chula, GA replies: "My mom always said B vitamins (especially B6) should be taken for motion sickness. I always got headaches and nausea when traveling especially the back seat. I can not remember if it worked for the car sickness(I was too young.), but I go through periods of feeling nauseated alot and a good B Complex supplement seems to help."

04/17/2009: EJ from Middleboro, MA replies: "Try ginger. You can chew on the raw root if you don't mind the taste or look for ginger gum or candy at your local health food store. A local island ferry hands out ginger candy at the ticket booth. I never get on a boat, bus or small plane without it."

04/17/2009: Gail from USA replies: "I use ginger root. I like it for motion sickness."

04/17/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "For those needing motion sickness remedy, including Selena from Chula, Ga. and Vinita from Hyderabad, India:

For those needing motion sickness remedy, try good old ginger (cooking spice) tea. It is good for lots of stomach problems.

Just add 1/4 tsp. of ground ginger to l pound of dry beans when cooking them to avoid the usual gaseous (flatulencne) problems associated with them. Since it works so well for the beans I suspect it should prevent flatulence from other foods."

04/17/2009: Gean from Salina, KS replies: "I have had motion sickness since I was a young child, and I noticed that a few years ago when I began taking barley grass juice tablets (I was taking AIM barley green, 6 caplets twice a day, at least 1/2 hr. before meals), I could suddenly read in the car and never get car sick. I realized that motion sickness is probably due to some kind of nutritional/hormonal imbalance which was corrected by the barley grass. Be aware that powdered barley grass is a lot less potent than powdered barley grass juice. Our whole family came down with a bad flu when we started on it, (healing crisis). Can be avoided by starting slow."

04/17/2009: Robin from Rural, VA replies: "About the accupressure band... I purchased a set of bands called "SeaBand" from a large chain drugstore about 9 years ago. At the time I used them for morning sickness, but you can tell by the name that it is intended for motion sickness. I wore them practically the entire time I was pregnant, and my morning sickness was minimal. I hope this helps."

EC: Yes, most drugstores carry them -- easy to find.

04/18/2009: Lon from Stanhope, Nj replies: "All of the suggestions mentioned have helped me. Ginger is great. One of the best helps I've tried, both to prevent and also to relieve motion sickness is to carry something very fizzy to sip on when I travel, such as seltzer water. Baking soda in water helps too, but i'm not sure how long the fizziness lasts once mixed. These make you burp and that seems to end the sickness at least for me."

04/18/2009: M from Oz, Ks, USA replies: "If you are not pregnant, ginger may help. google ginger! Wishing you well!"

[YEA]  04/19/2009: Vinita from Hyderabad, India replies: "Motion sickness remedies feedback: Thanks everyone for your replies. I will try taking ginger the next time I travel. Thanks once again!"

06/23/2009: Khulood from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates replies: "Best thing I've tried for motion sickness was ginger (in any form) I'd usually have a can of ginger ale when I'm on the move. It helps avoid nausea all together (for me at least). You could also try cold ginger tea : cut a few chunks of garlic, boil in a cup of water, take out the chunks, sweeten with honey if you want (just a bit because for some reason, honey aggravates my nausea), let it cool in the fridge and drink :)"

06/25/2009: Tanya from Osburn, Idaho replies: "I have used ginger for nausea or motion sickness. This worked very well for us. I think I would take a couple of capsules at a time. This also worked very well for my step daughter. Every time my step daughter would get into a moving vehicle, she would vomit. Taking ginger before a trip worked wonders. See if this works for you.

Tanya"

08/08/2009: Vinita from Hyderabad, India replies: "I happened to travel last week in a car. I took ginger with me but it didn't help me at all. I vomited as uaual. My sister told me about a remedy which I happened to take during the return journey. It worked wonders, I didn't feel anything. And it was the first time that I actually enjoyed a car journey.

The remedy:
Mix 2 to 3 tablesppons of honey in a glass of cool water. And add two pinches of salt.

Thats it. I drank this before the journey. In fact, I prepared a whole bottle of this drink and took it with me during the journey. It really works!!!"
