NEEDLE-LIKE PAINS IN TOES AND FINGERS
09/16/2008: Mary from Logansport, Louisiana writes: "I recently found a bone spur on top of my foot. The poditrist didnt want to operate and gave me mexicam to take before that was low dose steroids. The pain went away from the spur. But my feet hurt so bad. My knees get fluid and I stiffen up when I sit down. My toes and fingers at times have pains like needles sticking in them. My hands go to sleep at night. Also during the day when driving or just sitting still. I hurt so bad today but this afternoon when I did number 2, it was like acidity, brownish, then I felt better all over but I have like infection feelings in my feet and my backbones. The doc said osteoarthirtis. I just dont believe this, cause he said that without getting any x-rays."
10/07/2008: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Mary:
The needle like pains in toes and fingers are a circulatory problem. In some instances blood sugar is high also which worsens the circulatory condition. The common remedy used to restore the needle like pain, which is indeed a common ailment is B1 100 mg, B6 100 mg, plus vitamin B complex in the form of B50. The other two supplements that are supportive of circulatory condition are granulated lecithin taken 30 minutes before meal, often once a day is the minimum. Granulated lecithin is considered an emulsified fats and by dissolving fats, it will restore the circulatory system reducing the blood circulation issues. The other is chromium polynicotinate usually 1000 mcg per day, or other similar chromium might be o.k. also. The chromium will help reduce blood sugar which is responsible for reduce blood circulation. The reason is the higher the blood sugar in excess often reduced blood circulation and suppresses immune system. High blood sugar is also acid forming reducing the body's blood oxygen. Finally it helps to take 2 tablespoon of lemon juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 glass of water twice a day. Alkalizing increases the oxygen as alkalization drives out carbon dioxide more readily and hence the gas is then replaced with oxygen instead. As to the condition of bone spurs, is that bone growth occurs when there is fungus like deep inthe bone and this disturbs normal bone growth. To discourage them, the common remedy is magnesium citrate and alkalization remedy and perhaps kelp supplements, which has trace organic arsenic that tends to discourage fungal growth.Ted"

TREMENDOUS PAIN IN JOINTS AND SPINE
07/04/2008: Maddy from Nottingham, UK writes: "I have asthma and bronchiectasis and have been on Prednisolone (steroids) for 7 years now. Thanks to Earth clinic remedies I can now get of my steroids but for one thing. Since I have got below 5 mg I am suffering from tremendous pain in joints and spine. Also have difficulty standing because of muscle fatique (side effect)and get terrible cramp in my low back. If there anybody who has dealt with the same problem and did you find something to stop the pain. I am almost tempted to increase steroids again to get rid of pain. HELP!!!!
Maddy, Nottingham"
07/05/2008: John from Liverpool, UK replies: "From your description its sounds similiar to the symptoms of Anylosing Spondylitis. One possible remedy for this is a starch free diet, which is not easy but it does help some people with this condtion. If your interested in this try going to the www.kickas.org website and look up the NSD and diet related forum. You should find plenty of advice there.
regards JR"
07/12/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "To Maddy from Nottingham: Hi Maddy, sounds like you aren't having much fun nowadays. Two things that you might want to try and are not likely to have any unwanted side effects from (except for a bad taste in your mouth when taken) is methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and cod liver oil. I would also suggest elimination of several factors that may be making your situation worse: any food that you notice makes the pain worse (i.e. I can drink buttermilk and eat yogurt and cheeses, but sweet milk is a definite no-no for me, anything made with bleached flour (whole grain has much more nutrients left in it) and last, but not least eliminate all those things that you can see or smell in the air (perfumes, paint odors, hair spray, etc.) most of which can trigger that asthma. If expense is a problem, my first purchase of MSM was made at a local farmers co-op in a 2 lb. container for $56.95. Later when I started ordering it directly from the distributor, when I called and asked if they were strictly retail or would see to general public, was asked what I wanted, to which I replied MSM. The man laughed and asked me if this was for my horse or for me. I also laughed and replied, "for me". The first few years of taking this, it always came in container labeled with dosages for horses only. After a few years it started arriving in a label giving human dosages. Do not be afraid of increasing that human dosage, or taking the race horse dose of a full scoop, because that is how I started and usually still take myself. Fortunately, I have now found that I can purchase a 2 1/2 lb. can labeled for horses and dogs at a local co-op for $l3.95, which lasts over l month at the race horse dosage. I can find no difference in the MSM for 4 legged animals and that labeled for 2 legged animals. The bonus of taking MSM is that asthma is often secondary to allergies, and MSM also helps in allergies as well as arthritis pain. I think you already know that the prednisone is not helping any bone problems - actually known to create problems in this area, as well as others. If you have poke sallet growing in England, I have also taken poke berries for that total body pain, and can personally vouch for it not being poison. I started taking them l5 - 20 poke berries 4 times a day, and was dehydrating them and taking them for as long as they lasted. I have now gotten more sophisticated and extract them in Vodka or other alcohol. It doesn't improve the taste, but in tincure or extract solution lasts for several years versus several months for the dehydrated berries."

TERRIBLE PAIN IN LEFT SIDE AFTER GETTING STRUCK BY LIGHTENING AS A CHILD
06/09/2008: S.H. writes: "Hi Ted!
I'm one of the readers on Earth Clinic that has chronic sinus for more than 24 yrs. At the moment I use ACV, Soda, fresh garlic cloove and honey but I see a lot of change especially my skin plus I nomore sneeze in the morning, my eyes and ears are no longer itching, cellulite also start to disappears. Its wonderful as I did not use this for a month yet. Another problem that bothering me is that I was stuck by the lightening when I was 9 yrs and left me having electricity movement on the left side of my back, before the movement use to start only when it is rainning but from two years to date it starts to move most all the time. I cant also not hold tight my left foot it is terrible paining inside. My whole left side incuding my arm and leg is also weaker then the other. Hopefully u will get something that could ease my pain.
May God Bless and add to your knowledge and research you run a wonderful site. Keep on with challenging ideas!"
06/09/2008: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "It appears the lightning cause neural damages and possibly the brain, therefore certain supplements and certain medicine may be worth trying. Whether or not they work will take about a week or sowhether to continue the supplements or not. In any event, neural growth is needed, and perhaps rebuilding of myelin sheaths. Therefore 1000 mg of fish oil containing EPA, and DHA Omega 3 is most helpful usually it's taken once a day, one tablespoonful of granulated lecithin on empty stomach three times a day, vitamin B50 (or B complex where most are 50 mg each) usually taken once every other day, evening primrose oil 1000 mg taken every two days, reduction of vegetable oils used in cooking, avoid wheat products, avoid all artificial sugar, especially aspartame - since it damages the neural growth. If there is aloe vera oil or just aloe vera supplements this helps regeneration too. Low dose lithium usually lithium citrate 2.5-5 mg is helpful.
A month's of supplementation should notice some improvement, if not another medicine that seems to support neural growth is naltrexone low dose, about 2.5-4.5 mg may help. However, I believe in non-medicine and may pursue, a sea salt- carbicarb remedy better.
The sea salt carbicarb remedy (or ORMUSdrinks) is 1/4 teaspoon of each for baking soda, sodium carbonate and sea salt in 1/2 glass of water used as a drinking water throughout the day, but should be kept overnight before use, and also shake before using..
It seems to improve neural transmission or at least normalize it through monoatomic elements found in trace amounts in the sea salt that is often activated whenever the mix is done and kept overnight in a plastic container or glass container. The reason why this is used is because I tested it and seems to do a good job in many general conditions. Apparently when this is taken, b complex and other supplements work a lot better. I suspect the reason for the miracles of Dr. Batmanhelidj, Your Body Cries for Water is the sea salt that contains monoatomic element is responsible for many of the healing effects (as is magnesium and trace minerals too), but he failed to noticed that these can be activated further in an alkaline solution such as baking soda and especially sodium carbonate, which causes intracellular communication and accelerates healing process.
If none of the remedies are working, it would seem that nerve transmission are impaired physically and perhaps, in this case, accupuncture might be one remedy I will look into, when all else fails.
Finally, one dark horse supplement is that whenever lightning strikes certain nerves get pinched from muscle tightening near the spinal column or other areas. In this case 500 mg of magnesium citrate or magnesium gluconate are usually taken everyday for a month to notice improvement. This is synergistic with b complex and the pinching nerves should reduce. Magnesium causes relaxation of muscles and reduce pinching of the nerves. Take my cases for example, I can have a sudden jerk and pain from the nerves too, but it was gone if I took magnesium and b complex for a couple of days and it was gone too. Of course I didn't get stuck by a lightning, but the pain and symptoms are somewhat familiar, where getting struck is a more severe one.
Ted
6/11/2008: S.H. replies, "Hi Ted! Thank you very much for the beneficial information on lightening cures it gaves a lot in my knowledge. Once as you were talking about nerves, I have a small lump at the back of my neck on top of my left main lymph. I will go to the pharmacist or homeopathics to look for the medicine you adviced me to use. In the mean time can I continue taking apple cider and baking soda for chronic sinuses or I need to stop for a while? Least but not last my I wish you a healthy longevity life full of blessed knowledge and strengths for further researches!"
6/11/2008: Ted replies, "ACV with baking soda is anti-inflammatory so it also helps.
I think lymph massage, skin brushing, and clearing lymph also helps. Obstructed lymph might be cleared by reducing some blockages such as certain aromatherapy where small amounts of camphor is mixed with suitable carrier oils in the area of obstruction can also help too, along with accupunctures too."
06/09/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "To S.H. who was struck by lightning at age 9 and has continuing pain Hi SH, That statement that pain used to occur only when it rained sounds like you may be having some post traumatic arthritis pain. The best thing I have taken (and still am) for that is MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Why don't you google MSM and see if you want to try it. Everyone I have told about it who tried say they can tell a big difference after taking it. Before I started taking it, when it rained my Rt. hip felt like someone was slamming it with a sledge hammer and I'd almost fall with every step. I used to order mine out of a lab in Florida, but now I find the same MSM crystals at our local co-op in 2 1/2 pound container for $13.95 (a little more than half what I used to pay for a 2 pound container. It is labeled for horses & dog dosages, but the only difference is the label on the container. The one I ordered from in Florida at first shipped it with animal dosage label, but I got to ordering so much of it for my friends and myself that they started putting a human dosage (l tsp. 3 times per day) labels on the container. The rest of the label was exactly the same."

MULTI CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY THAT STARTED 1 YEAR AGO
05/17/2008: Linda from Cheyenne, Wyoming writes: "I have been diagnosed with multi chemical sensitivity that started a year ago. It took a while and several doctors later to get this diagnosis. My holistic doctor has been having me do castor oil packs, and epsom salts baths that have helped very much. Yet, I still am having very severe reactions, especially at night. I have had a ringing in my ears that gets louder and softer and can hear my heart beating. This never goes completely away. I am having what feels like electrical currents and vibrations going up and down my legs from my stomach to my ankles and across my lower abdomen. At times, my arms get red and I get a burning in them as well as prickly, itchy feelings. This comes and goes. Not to mention the bad acid reflux, metalic taste and the concentration and memory problems. I wish there was more I could do to get some relief. My job is in jeapordy and my health is at risk. I have been an avid reader of this site since I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis two years ago. I hope Ted can help me."
08/14/2008: Stephanie from Chicago, IL replies: "Ringing in the Ears...is recognized as a Magnesium Deficiency. Take a look at a book called "The Magnesium Factor". Magnesium deficiency is linked to every physical problem you can think of. Our diet has changed over the past 100 years, we now consume 50 times more sodium, less magnesium, too much calcium and an imbalence of potassium that have severe consequences when you don't have the proper amount of magnesium. Chelated Magnesium is what you want to look for as a supplement. Also, check out George Eby's research, you can find it with a quick online search."

LEG PAIN
05/09/2008: Susan from Great Neck, NY writes: "I'm a 65 yr old healthy, slim woman taking No prescription drugs..do not smoke, eat sugar, meat, cows milk, or wheat. Have been taking 2 tbls ACV, 1/4 tsp baking soda & 1/2 cup water ab 2 times daily for approx 15 months. Was diagnosed with acid reflux, never took the meds the Dr prescribed, have not taken an advil since and have the symptoms under control..Thanks Earth Climic & Ted. About a month ago my heels began to burn. Also a weird sensation, like something moving under the skin of my heels. Then my toes began to hurt when I wore the flip-flops that I've worn in the house for slippers for years. 1st & 2nd toes still sensitive. Then my socks felt tight. The discomfort moved up from my feet, my ankes & now is up to my calves. I am in pain. Feels like a bad charley horse, sore muscles, or like the thawing out after frost-bite. Feels like bad circulation. Some days comes & goes....today pain all day. I massage my calves, no help. No relief when I elevate my legs. Hurts whether I sit or stand. Foot Dr. said my circulation was ok...not sure I believe him. Chiropractor did adjustment, no relief. I wonder if I need extra supplements due to taking ACV? Just a thought. Can't think of anything else I do that is different...other than eating a lot of sunflower seeds for the past months. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced & found relief for this. Thanks, Susan."
05/02/2009: Tricia from Mandeville, Manchester, Jamaica replies: "I also have a very similar leg pain. Still don't know what it is. But the doc I am consulting describes your condition as compartment syndrome. Elevation of legs does not help. With mine, it does help.

04/04/2008: Jerry from Clayton, North Carolina writes: "Question, I get pain and stiffness in weird areas of my body I tried H2O2 and ACV and still have pain I do have neck and upper back problems I'm sure that has something to do with it. Its a pain to live with. Please give any suggestions. PS I also have EBV. THANKS"

CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY
03/13/2008: "A Reader writes that he has been in pain for better than a decade, experiencing stiffness and burning throughout his body, tingling, and gastrointestinal problems"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "This is a common condition that affects nearly everyone, but perhaps not as extreme as you do. The body is sensitive to most hydrocarbons. Carpets and tiles are high in hydrocarbon chemicals, some examples include benzene, methanol (neurotoxic), formaldehyde, kerosene, etc. The liver has no means to detoxify, especially when a person just happens to be taking tylenol (paracetemol), antibiotics (which causes the accumulation of heavy metals), metabolic acidosis, and most medications are not every kind to the liver and the kidneys. The best ways to detoxify for me to do the following remedy, to reduce neurotoxicity. The conditions explained below seems to be due to chemical toxins causing neurotoxicity, especially with vaccinations, which can accelerate autoimmune response, as well as other viral toxins and mycoplasm toxins which are neurodegenerative in nature, especially the mercury. Alkalizing remedy I used for neurotoxicity is this one: This one is what scientist call a Carbicarb, and it is neuroprotective, since it won't cause temporary acidosis in neuron cells' as it lowers the carbon dioxide pressure. 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda 1/4 ( or more such 1/2 later on) teaspoon of sodium carbonate in 1/2 glass of water taken about twice a day. It takes about two weeks at least, more like three weeks for the body to have sufficient alkalinity that's needed for detoxification, but they need to be continued always. I would seriously consider avoiding certain medications that are not liver friendly, especially the tylenol. A replacement, and I AM old fashion geezer, is I would take aspirin and dissolve them in a glass of water completely before taking them. If I THINK I needed a pain killer. The dilution of aspirin would NOT cause ulcer if it is prepared in low concentration and diluted in water. Let's take an extreme argument: would drinking aspirin, completely dissolved in a swimming pool of water cause ulcer? The reason for the ulcer is people want convenient and take them in tablet form. That form could burn the stomach, much like a magnfying glass which focuses on a small area of region causing burns, but if there is no magnifying glass, its not likely to cause any burns. I would also try to restore the liver function, which is to take N Acetyl Cysteine, 250 or 500 mg at least once a day. The N Acetyl Cysteine is a common antidote against liver damage caused by taking paracetamol (Tylenol) and interestingly the N Acetyl Cysteine removes or chelates out mercury, which are commonly added into the vaccination these days. I am assuming of course that vaccination also has mycoplasma and certain viruses and that has to be taken care of too, but not now. I would likely use the borax remedy and the zinc remedy to deal with that, but that's not important, the detoxification is. The body is a strange being in that if there is hydrocarbons, the body continually recirculates and accumulates. The body has no way of getting rid of this and it becomes more toxic the longer you live. This was explained to me in Anatomy and Physiology 101, when I was a student. Interestingly they neglected to mention how to rid of these substances. So I four remedies that does that: 1. The alkalizing remedy using the baking soda and sodium carbonate already mentioned. Alkalization works like a soap allowing the hydrocarbons to be removed from the body easily, usually through the kidneys. 2. Granulated lecithin, one tablespoon taken once a day. It's a fat emulsifer and hydrophobic hydrocarbons get tagged with this allowing it to be safely removed via the feces. 3. Hydrogen peroxide food grade, usually I would likely do this to my drinking water: I add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 30 drops of 3% H2O2 food grade in one liter of drinking water. It takes about two weeks to notice some improvement. What the hydrogen peroxide does to the body, chemically is interesting. It oxidizes them and most of these chemicals can and do get neutralize this way. In similar and different approach, I can briefly ozonate my room and smell some ozone and this will go to rapidly in the bloodstream to neutralize many of the toxic chemicals that is circulated or continually recirculated causing auto toxicity. 4. Sodium thiosulfate 10% solution I will do later, say a month later after I managed to detoxify most of them by hydrogen peroxide, but these I will continue a couple of more months and alternate maybe 3 hours apart at least with sodium thiosulfate. The sodium thiosulfate solution 10% I will add 10-30 drops per glass of water, for example, usually taken in the evening hours, and perhaps more later one once the laxative effect in some people wears off after a couple of dose and perhaps increase the dose to about one crystal (lenghtwise) in a 1/2 or 1 glass of water in the evening up to 5 or more later. The sodium thiosulfate will reduce the toxic chemical by reduction. Sulfur related detoxification includes MSM, DMSO can also be considered. However the ones with the least problem is MSM, but I think sodium thiosulfate are a lot easier to use than MSM, but most sulfur compounds are great in detoxification because sulfur also attaches to toxic mercury and other substances too. The pain can generally be relieved with MSM and other sulfur compoundsl 5. The fifth and most important is the taking of L-Glutathione, which can be 250 mg taken about 3 or 4 times a day. I once have these autotoxicity of hydrocarbon intolerance as a child, but I didn't have all these supplements, instead I chose to take vitamin C sodium ascorbate about 1000 mg and baking soda teaspoon. That was taken for a week and most conditions are gone, but still I don't like the benzene or hydrocarbon fuels, but it was not nearly bad now. It's usually liver toxicity that's the problem However, liver problem is just one small aspect, it's combined with metabolic acidosis and an opportunistic pathogens that causes the acid reflux which makes this case an interesting one. The metabolic acidosis in this case is that hydrocarbon exposure, such as carbon tetrachloride, benzene, kerosine, and other hydrocarbon chemicals interesting the more toxic ones are found in military use and those can really kill or cause neurodegenerative disorders. That said certain supplements AFTER the detoxification is needed, such as two of my favorite smart drugs which were used together, but taken only 4 days out of 7, which is hydergine (1-2 mg) and Nootropil (800 mg) taken together, should allow recovery in leaps and bounds, provided of course heavy metals and hydrocarbonas and liver functions was restored first. Lecithin can restore some neural functions as it acts as a myelin sheaths, but so does the vitamin C in a way. Long term alkalization should restore the acid reflux, the spirulina chlorella supplements taken once every two days should remove the heavy metals, and the hydrogen peroxide should rid of most, about 80% of the chemical toxins in the body. During detoxification especially on the third week, especially on the fourth week, I believe in at least begin to take some vitamin B complex. But the vitamin B complex I prefer is the B50 or B100, where B1 is in the form of thiamine mononitrate, B3 niacinamide, and B6 pyridoxine phosphate if at all possible. However in the event of a hydrocarbon autotoxicity, I may need to take a lot more folate, often named folic acid vitamin B9 a lot more than usual, such as 100-200 mg, if they do have it in that form and not the mcg dose. Folic acid I used it as a detoxification this is why larger dose are needed. During that same time (fourth week) I will take magnesium citrate, or magnesium gluconate 500 mg a day. As to the pain that depends on where it is. If it is in the joints usually a borax remedies help, but if it's in the stomach area like an acid reflux, than alkalizing would do. But if it is Morgellon's then it's always the borax and baking soda remedy as the prime supplements I used. This is just the basic to get some of the recovery. The condition is a liver problem, acid reflux pathogen, mycoplasma fungus (I used 1/4 teaspoon of borax in one liter of drinking water), and neuro degenerative disorders (vitamin C, smart drugs, perhaps 5-HTP, tryptophan, B complex, L glutamine, and a host of others). Whatever the problems detoxification of the chemicals, alkalization, liver restoration is the primary consider. This then is closely followed by neural supporting supplements to allow recovery, and perhaps amino acid supplements if at all possible be taken any time would help at least balance the amino acid which is usually important for neural recovery."

CRAMPS THROUGHOUT BODY
03/04/2008: Missy from Toronto, Ontario, Canada writes: "Hello, FIRSTLY, I THANK EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU, ESPECIALLY TED for taking the time from your busy schedules or physical discomfort for sharing and helping all of us in need. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
My throat was not only like razors when swallowing, horrible coughing from chest with phlegm & fever, but my gums were very swollen especially on the right side of mouth behind the molars. They were seriously infected, sort of cut up, open lesions and extremely sensitive when I tried to eat. My Tinnitus was so loud my balance was affected. My head was pounding, sinuses all stuffed up and face puffy. I'm scheduled for nasal surgery on the 20th of this mth and needed to clear this up asap or no surgery. I need to avoid antibiotics now as I may need them later and less is more. Oh, and my lips were very cracked and dry. (I just threw out my toothpaste as per info re: fluoride poisoning on this site, using baking soda & H2o2 combo)
I read Ted's article about the ice cream and lo and behold....that is exactly what I had at my favourite Chinese Buffet two days prior and even had more of it since then. This seems to happen every time I eat the darn stuff, but NOT as bad as this time.
Ted's soooo smart and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for his compassion and knowledge. My body must have been very acidic due to over consumption of meat and starch from the buffet along with the poisonous chemical in the ice cream.
So I began to alkaline my body with the baking soda WITH NO ALUMINUM and 1/2 of a lemon in a glass of R/O water (reverse osmosis). The AVC just didn't do it for me.
I stepped up the Super Cal Mag Plus (Shaklee), Vitamin B Complex (which included zinc and Vitamin B2) as per Ted & took Emergen-C (best vitamin C around) 3% H2o2 spray, food grade CELL FOOD drops in drinking water vitamins.
I had not read as far as the cayenne cure as yet, so I made a Organic green tea with ORGANIC ginger (huge difference and very potent) and raw honey. Chewing on the ginger really burned, killed me to chew as gums were so sensitive. (even chewing on ORGANIC garlic did me in). I love spicy foods, but this was so unbearable....I quickly took a large spoon of Virgin Coconut Oil & swished it around my mouth. IMMEDIATE RELIEF! Better and quicker than bread or milk. I pushed a chunk of it onto the cut gums and just let it gradually melt, WOW, IMMEDIATE RELIEF. The cuts started to close up. Lips are a lot better too. I kept all this up over the past 4 days. BUT, I wondered why I was having such coughing jags, then I remembered that I turned down the humidifier in the basement furnace during our last cold snap as the windows were full of moisture. I just turned it back on at 3 am last night. Woke up with no coughing and no pain but also no voice. If you live in an apartment, remember, it may be to dry in there, get a humidifier, air moisture very important.
I quickly came back to this site and read more. I started chewing on the cloves (not garlic) and finally I can speak, not great yet, but I can speak.
Ted's remedy with Green Tea and Baking Soda combo was what got everything in my throat to finally settle down as of yesterday. I used Organic, no pesticide tea. This combo is the best, I even squeezed in 1/2 lemon juice. (Always remember to wash the outside of the lemon with some of your dish soap to remove pesticides and other germs before cutting into it.) Oh, and to aid the alkaline, I made a pot of Organic Black Turtle Bean Soup as per the Gout remedy (I do not have gout) but thought this would feed me and keep everything alkaline.
I forgot to mention, I also started taking New Chapters Holy Basil to reduce cortisol due to STRESS. Do not swallow. Just crack open the gel tab with teeth and let the God awful contents stay under the tongue for a few minutes and then swallow. You can spit out the gel tab after you get all the contents out. Really helps with the soar throat and stress. Take as often as needed. It really helps to calm everything down.
Ted, please help me on one more issue. I have tried everything on this site except for the cayenne. But I cannot stop the body cramps. It started a mth ago. (About the same time I started using high quality sea salt only) My boyfriend also was experiencing similar but his went away.) Sharp cramp in left knee. I wake up constantly in tears. Then, after a few days it started to jump in right shoulder then immediately jumps to right arch of foot, then jumps to outside of right big toe. NOT AT THE SAME TIME! It immediately moves from one spot to the other and then back again to the left knee then back to the right shoulder then down to the right foot and back to the left knee. It just keeps jumping and jabbing in a circle without stopping always in the same places. What is that? It just sound so ridiculous to describe. But it is real and extremely painful.
My left ankle started up as well a couple of days ago. I can barely apply any pressure when walking on my left leg, knee and ankle very sore. The cramp/knot has lodged in there and won't release. Also since taking the baking soda treatment, (I use 80% mineral Sea Salt on foods) my RIGHT hand, fingers very swollen. HOW CAN I MAKE ALL THIS GO AWAY. Please advise. I am female, 55 yrs. old, and yes I am drinking r/o water. (I am the one who wrote the article about IBS and Cortisol a couple of weeks ago). I am IBS free now, but these random jabbing cramps, jumping all over the place in a circle, are something that I just can't figure out. I had floating kidney surgery 5 yrs ago. I always had/have trouble holding my water. I have extremely dark circles under my eyes always and allergies to mold and cats. I have two cats, I will not give them up. I do not sneeze, nor watery eyes, this is what the allergy test revealed, but I do not feel anything with them around. I AM affected by mold. Could all this be from the ice cream poisoning?
Pre-Op at hospital revealed that my blood pressure was up and I had low grade fever (prior to my doing these cures 4 days ago). They do not sell urine ph testing kits in Canada, but I will get some online."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "The cramps and sudden pain, appears to be a fungus like problem, such as mycoplasma like organism that exists and sometimes cause pain around the joints. The one remedy I found to be helpful in reduction was the alkalization and antifungal remedy using the borax. Further more circulatory problems especially extremities, and possible muscle twitching and tinnitus is an indication of lack of magnesium and vitamin B complex. Quite often tinnitus can be cause from taking too much aspirin, excess heavy metals, the body's fungus in the system is high and this is indicated by lowered tolerance to moldy environments. Hence, using H2O2 3% sprays or used as disinfectants in the house will reduce this problem. Taking H2O2 3% drops such as between 3- 10 drops in 1 glass of water will also reduce that moldy allergies. But most interesting of all are the three additional remedies that can reduce the fungus problems (and other similar organism) in the blood that causes pains, especially the joints from using the 1/4 teaspoon (some may prefer 1/8 teaspoon) of borax in 1 liter of drinking water. The borax is antifungal. Certain supplements I found useful against similar condition and can be combined with borax remedies, are obviously baking soda should always be considered, but vitamin D3 20,000 i.u. taken for a couple of weeks, and vitamin K2 about 250-500 mcg, which has immune raising properties and are also antifungal. It is worthy to mentioned that adding some xylitol such as 1/8 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water taken three times a day reduces the pain too. Xylitol prevents mycobacterium from attaching itself near the joints (source comes from our breathing it) and muscle area which shoots up now and then, to loosen up and get killed. Therefore a xylitol (1/8 teaspoon), borax (between 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon) and some drops of hydrogen peroxide 3% (usually 10-30 drops) per liter of drinking water will help. Low grade fever is a common conditions of living in a moldy environments, but it has a tendency to raise the blood heavy metals higher, and hence taking spirulina and chlorella supplements helps remove the heavy metals. Lauric acid content in the coconut oil that you mentioned on the mouth area is that lauric acid has antifungal and some antiviral properties but usually are poorly absorbed, but can do wonders for those with a fungus problem or mycobacterium that might exist in the mouth area too. Cracking lips might be a common sign of riboflavin deficiency and this is why B2, or just taken together with the vitamin B complex and magnesium are usually most synergistic. Yes there is something in those ice cream from modern manufacturing process, not necessarily a healthy one, but these very same processes also creates problem from eating white flour, vegetable oils, margarine, and bread. Usually the best way is to switch over from eating bread and white flour to rice and oatmeal. Rice and oatmeal are high in silicon which causes the body to be much more resistant against fungus and moldy issue. Yes, adding sea salts added to all drinking water will reduce some allergies such as fungus and moldy environment, but the body must always be sufficiently alkalized, borax, xylitol, magnesium and vitamin B complex are further needed to reduce the pain, while the chelation using chlorella/spirulina will reduce the free heavy metal buildup which reduces the body's immune system."

QUESTION ON ARTHOTECH PILLS
10/25/2006: Mary Ann from Bayside, NY writes: "I started on Arthotech 2 pills a day in June 2006. Then switched to 1 pill a day which keeps the pain manageable. Since September I have had a tightness in my throat, my back teeth are hurting and I have shortness of breath. My Dr. thought I was having a heart attack. She did put me on Nexum, but it is not working."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Mary Ann:
I have had a tightness in my throat, my back teeth are hurting and I have shortness of breath.
When the body is acid, it holds less oxygen and therefore the shortness of breath. The blood holds less oxygen when the body is acid.
Tightness of throat is the same condition. However back teeth is hurting is a condition of teeth sensitivity, and it indicates the body is deficient of citrates. Citrates also alkalizes the body and is well known to reduce teeth sensitivity.
Therefore, try just one whole freshly squeezed lemon juice and keep adding baking soda at 1/4 teaspoon interval until no more fizz. Add water to 1/2 glass. Take this twice a day and the body should have sufficient bicarbonates within a week. The let the body rest and do not take if for two days. Then continue again.
Taking this should reduce the acid condition and reduce the arthritic pains. It is important to watch the diet carefully and not eat sweets. When eating food do not mix starch with carbohydrates, or drink milk. The body tend to cause a reaction as milk casein have a tendency to prevent nutrients in food from absorbing.
If you think you will have a heart problem it is best to protect yourself and take some magnesium supplements such as 250 mg. of Magnesium Chloride or Magnesium Citrate, and some ACV with some baking soda to neutralize the acid. The usual dose is two tablespoon ACV plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. A boron supplements will bring about a magnesium and calcium balance. Most vegetables have sufficient calcium as it is, so take plenty of fresh vegetables and avoid fried foods. If you take some borax such as 1/8 teaspoon per liter of water, only for the week for example, boron is well known to balance the magnesium and calcium ratios. If the teeth has cavities or have similar pains. This is also a sign of molybdenum deficiency. Usually taken 50 mg. in one day for the entire month one dose will do it, or taken once every two week. However, you need not take this too much. The one thing unique about molybdenum is that controls pH balance and will cause the body to be within normal range of alkalization by controlling sugar, which is acid forming.
The other unique thing about molybdenum that I found out is its tendency to cause the urinary ORP to be in the negative millivolt region, which means it causes the body to be anti-oxidating rather than oxidizing. For example if I take baking soda and citric acid my urinary pH goes to 6.2, but with molybdenum, it went up to 6.7. And if my normal urinary ORP is -70 millivolt (weakly antioxidation), it causes urinary ORP to about -120 millivolt, which is more strongly antioxidation. This is a well known fact, but I give you an illustration why sometimes molybdenum is important. Molybdenum also helps balance out the copper and zinc ratios too.
To reduce arthritis pain, a common remedy I always used that seem to work is to take vitamin B complex along with some aspirin only to reduce the inflammation. The other addition that tends to help me is to take some Manganese chloride or Manganese sulfate for about one week at about 25 mg/day, then stop if the pain is gone. Or take it one week and stop two weeks then start again if pain is still there. Vitamin C in form of sodium ascorbate seems to help as well as vitamin D which in some cases a deficiency of it causing ricket can also lead to arthritic pain also."

ACUTE INFLAMMATION OF THE TENDONS
01/28/2006: Eldon from Bombay, Maharashtra, India writes: "Good day... I've been trying out ACV based on the information your site has provided and it has done wonders for me. I just want to say thanks so much for the advice and information. On a separate note... i have a friend suffering from acute inflammation of the tendons in the left shoulder. he's tried physio therapy and different ointments but nothing has really helped him. the pain keeps coming back and at times is really bad. Please let me know what i can do to help him. Thank you.""
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Hi, glad to see some feedback from India, as India once used vinegar and ACV quite widespread, before the British put out false information to stop such use. This was also true of the use of hydrogen peroxide.
Your friend's tendons will be relieved 90% by taking a 250 mg to 500 mg of Magnesium Chloride once a day. On the third day most of them should be all gone. To further aid in complete healing take 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to one liter of water, plus a pinch of magnesium chloride and potassium chloride. Drink this in place of your drinking water and take 500-1000 mg of vitamin C every day. Most of the tendon pains should be all gone. If not, you can try to apply either an aluminum foil, or small zinc metals in the area of pain overnight. Both metals will generate negative electrical charge to allow healing. Most of the pain should be greatly relieved the next day. This is based on research that negative electrical charges generated by metals allows regeneration of tissues. Of course, taking colloidal silver internally everyday will accelerate the healing process."
