ALMOND OIL
06/02/2011: Billie from London, England writes: "I'm finding it hard to purchase organic cold-pressed edible almond oil in the UK. Where can I buy it from? Thank-you."
Replies06/02/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "I find the one for the skin without a problem here in France, never seen edible one though. I often go to health shops in Switzerland and Germany (next door to where I live) but never saw it there either. I will look for it in the UK when I am there but it is maybe something only sold in the US. That is a bit the problem with a site where the members come from a completely different country. People often talk about things I have never found in Europe. The world is quite globalized but not completely yet. I also find things here which are forbidden in Switzerland, for example, like MSM."

03/23/2011: Khan777 from Edinburgh, Scotland, Uk replies: "I buy it online (at www.highernature.co.uk). ACV available in the supermarket are pasteurised which works but is not the good one. The best one is the unpasteurised (with mother) ACV, you will not find it in a supermarket not even at Holland & Barrett (they have the organic ACV but not unpasteurised). make sure you use the unpasteurised one."

I live in Thailand and it is very hard to find some of the remedies posted on the site. If you won't be able to post the Good Karma info, I understand. But I hope you might for the sake of desperate foreigners like me who live in Thailand. They also carry Epsom Salts and Bentonite clay! )
Good news for those living in Thailand who, like me, have had a difficult time finding pharmaceutical grade borax. Good Karma (supposed to be Thailand's only online health store) now carries it. http://www.healthfoodthailand.com/index.php
Thanks,

Call and ask first at 02-3817100.I had the experience in dog mange. I used hydrogen peroxide, the normal grade 3-5% that you can find at any pharma shop. Do not select the clear bottle, use only the brown one. Mix about a half a red bull cap with the food twice a day. The smell will recede within a few days together with the itching and hair will eventually grow.

[YEA] 10/02/2007: Dee from Lafayette, La writes: "Hello. I am writing in response to the posts about borax use. Many people have asked if they should just use 20-mule-team borax. I just found this site so I haven't used the remedies yet, but I wanted to write and give your readers a lead on a cosmetic grade borax. Actually, if they just type that into a search engine, they could find it themselves. But I found it at a place where I buy bulk organic herbs and flowers for making my own personal care products. This is the description from their site: "A natural source cosmetic grade Sodium Borate that does not contain surfactants and detergents which are commonly found in commercial Borax products. Borax acts as an emulsifier, natural preservative and buffering agent for moisturizers, scrubs and bath salts." Now, I would imagine that this means the borax in the store is NOT the one you would want to ingest, even in small amounts, since it more than likely DOES contain other ingredients that you don't want. So, if I were to try this remedy, I would look for 'cosmetic grade sodium borate'. The place I found the above description was mountain rose herbs, listed under miscellaneous products. I do not work for them and have no vested interest in telling you their name. I am, however, very impressed with them in general. I've purchased many things from them and everything has been good quality. You can delete the company's name if you'd like, it matters not to me. As long as your readers type in the correct words, they would find the site I'm talking about, or at least a place that sells the grade of borax that I'm referring to. Well, good luck! I'm off to email Ted to see if the borax will kill spirochetes."
Replies06/06/2008: Jo Ana from Tucson, AZ replies: "I just checked on the Mountain Herb website and the end of the detailed description of their borax product is that it should NOT be consumed for any reason. Their product is used for cosmetic purposes so it's much purer than commerical borax. A rep from Mountain Herbs is checking now to make sure that there is no aluminum in their baking soda and will get back to me. I will update Earthclinic."
04/14/2010: Mark from Chicago, Il replies: "Has anyone tried the Mountain Rose borax? I'm not comfortable taking a borax that makes no claims of purity, and is processed by Dial Corporation. At least MontainRose says theirs is manufactured according to USP standards. So I was wondering if their chemical analysis means that nothing was added to the Borax, or if 20 Mule Team/Dial Corp is still the best option in the USA.
Here's Mountain Rose's Chemical Analysis:
Anhydrous Borax- 70.1%
Boric Oxide - 48.5%
Sodium Oxide - 20.8%
Water of Crystallization - 46.2%
Chloride- 37ppm"
12/27/2011: Misty from Crivitz, Wi replies: "I found this on the 20 Mule Team product website. Yes, its made by Dial but according to this, it appears that 20 Mule Team is more pure than the Mountain Rose brand which contains only 70% borax.
How much Borax is in 20 Mule Team? 20 Mule Team® Borax is comprised of 99.5% pure borax, a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen, and water. (The scientific name for borax is sodium tetraborate decahydrate. ) The remaining 0.5% is composed of trace minerals."

01/14/2012: Linda from San Francisco, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Sunny/Carly, On Ebay and elsewhere you can find the Hanna "pH Checker" digital pH meter. It's about $30.USD. Mine came off Ebay.I think you will find this meter perfect for what you are trying to do. I wound up returning 2 other meters with larger, wider, way deeper (requires a very large testing sample), more unwieldy electrodes before I found this one.
If you are wanting to check pH of Urine/Saliva, the pH Checker has a small, easy to clean electrode and is quick to use and very accurate. The small electrode means it is able to work with a smaller sample in a smaller container, and is also much easier to clean than the models with larger, wider and more deeply recessed electrodes.
I have found the "small sample" capability most valuable when checking the pH of saliva. The sample-container I have found most useful for checking Saliva pH is the plastic snap-on protective top cover which fits over the spray head of a Mane n Tail Brand 'hair detangler' spray bottle. This top is just about the size of a small thimble, and the pH Checker electrode tip goes right into it easily. The bigger pH meters won't fit into such a tiny sample container at all, and made checking saliva pH way too hard to do.
Trust me, at 3AM (or on the road) it will make a great difference how easy your equipment is to use :-).
Just line up your containers (Clean, upside down, on paper towels) on your way to bed, 1, 2, 3... and Done.
Linda"
01/14/2012: Linda from San Francisco, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Sunny, If you are intending to test saliva, I wouldn't use that one- The electrode is too huge. you'll have to have a lot of spit worked up to get a dependable reading with that one.Check my post on this thread ref the Hanna "pH Checker", it will explain why.

It will likely arrive pre-calibrated, mine did. It was fine.Don't worry, it's easy. Other than that, just follow the easy maintenance instructions that should arrive with your meter.

I have now moved to Nottingham and have found an holistic practitioner who agrees with a lot of info from your site. I have taken Ted's remedies on board and am feeling a lot better. I am not sure where to get the disodium though as i am not sure what it is. I am on the zinc and B vitamins etc though. I am still oil pulling and have found that my face is a lot smoother. The hydrogen peroxide must be working along with the other remedies but I'm not sure which is the best method, inhalation or drinking. Can Ted help me on this, also how much do I need for prevention once I have been cured. The ACV and Bicarb seem to be giving me more energy also so all in all things are looking up! Thank you"
RepliesTed from Bangkok , Thailand replies: "Disodium EDTA is a chelating substance which removes free heavy metals from the source, such as drinking water for example. Assuming I am tested positive for free heavy metal in my urine, then adding 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of Disodium EDTA to one liter of water will cause my urine to be free of the heavy metals. One exception to the EDTA is that it only chelates the free heavy metals. I will drink this one liter of water over the course of a day. If I drink more than one liter, I will add EDTA also to the second liter of water, for example.However, oil pulling is also great for removing heavy metals from your body too, such that I sometimes refer this as oil chelation. However, most bacteria, mycoplasma and heavy metals tend to be oil soluble organisms making oil pulling one way to reduce the problem.
Most food processors should have disodium EDTA as a food preservative so you might obtain it from that source, but different countries are subjected to different controls. Most difficult for me, to obtain any chemicals, appears to be the UK. I do not know why. perhaps restrictions in the sale of chemicals.
Once you are cured, maintenance dose of 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonates are needed, which can be distributed to two doses at 1/4 teaspoon in the morning and 1/4 teaspoon before bedtime. However it is becoming increasingly evident that certain people do need this again around 11.00 a.m. as a preventive of certain symptoms from appearing, which often occurs around 12.00 p.m. to about 4.00 p.m., when the body is most stressed."
