EC: Yes, you can find the bios to two independent contributors, Joyce and Ted, on the "About Us" page. http://www.earthclinic.com/support.html. The link to this page is located the set of links at the bottom of every page, (along with our terms of service, copyright, contact us, and search links).

09/29/2009: Lori from Delta, Co writes: "I am just wondering why some words are highlighted in color? for example the word and, flu, of, the, ect...... in alot of the posts. Is it just my computer? "
EC: Hi Lori. No, words should only be highlighted on a page if you've just done a Google search (located at the top of every page on this site) using the same key words and are clicking on the links in the Google search results. Try deleting your browser history and cache, then restarting your browser. That should solve the issue. But if anyone else is experiencing this, please let us know! Thanks...

EC: Hi Katie, we have no such thing as a "profile" on Earth Clinic, only registered users. I believe you are referring to a spam email everyone has been receiving lately? Here's the thread for more information: http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/comments_and_requests7.html#UPDATES_32300
If you do a google search, you will see if you opted in the past to display your email address on Earth Clinic. Let us know if you'd like us to remove it.

Could someone tell me, why an account with EC is better than just an anonymous surfing??? Yes, I read the agreements and what not,but have failed to see a big difference. Should I keep my account? Is there actually any BENIFITS???
Is there forums,chats or something else I am missing?
Thank You."
EC: Are you sure you have signed in? At the top it should say "Sign Out" and "My Account"
There are two benefits to being a registered user:
1. Registered users are able to send feedback much faster; i.e., they don't have to enter name, city, state, email and spam code each time they send a post.2. In your account details, you will see every post that you have sent and where it links to on the site.

EC: Thanks for the support. Good luck with the nail fungus! Let us know how it goes -- it's one tricky bugger of an ailment!

ACV stands for Apple Cider Vinegar!

08/23/2009: Maureen from Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada writes: "Hi Deirdre,
Thanks for pointing out the two links at the top of every page. Sorry I never noticed them before. I was able to sign-in ok.
I also noticed the RSS feed which I have been waiting on for so long! However, now that I have subscribed (this is my first RSS feed subscription) it looks like I can not delete or mark the posts that I have read so I would know where I was and not have to search through many posts looking for the last post I read. It does not seem to be beneficial now that you keep a five page history unless I was that far behind on reading. Also, it does not show comments Earth Clinic added to a post so that information would be missed.
Maureen"
EC: Thanks for your feedback, Maureen! We'll send your comments about the RSS feed to our programmer. Theo also recently emailed in some issues he saw on the RSS feed as well.
If anyone has an example of a well-designed RSS feed, please send me the url. Would be greatly appreciated!

I registered with Earth Clinic on Aug 13/09. I received a reply with my activation code and used it. Today I had to register as usual. I tried re-activating my code and it told me I had already activated it. There does not seem to be an area for registered users to sign in? Can you clarify for me? Thanks Maureen"
EC: Hi Maureen,
The link to sign in is at the top of every page on Earth Clinic next to the donate link. If you don't see it, please delete your internet browser history and cache (to get rid of old Earth Clinic files). Here's the link to sign in: http://www.earthclinic.com/signin.php
Once you have signed in, you will see two links at the top of every page - "sign out" and "my account". You can make changes to your screen name and city/state at any time by clicking "my account". "Sign out" will log you out of Earth Clinic.
If you have any problems, please let us know!Deirdre
08/21/2009: Tricia from Ireland replies: "Hi, Deirdre, I just cleared my internet browser history but the sign in is still unreadable. It is there in a very, very light yellow(difficult to see) when you drag the cursor up there but because the colour is so light you would have to know it is there to find it."
EC: Hi Tricia,
We changed the color of the links at the top to blue. Please let me know if you still can't see them.I figured out that your browser must not be displaying the green background of the website, only a white background, which is what caused the problems! Thanks for letting me know about the issue.

08/10/2009: Connie from Manitowoc, Wisconsin writes: "It would be really nice to have the option of clicking a check-box that allows a participants name/city/state/country to be remembered so we don't have to reenter the info every time we respond. Might that be a possibility?
I absolutely love this site. You all are doing a fantastic job and such a huge service to the people who come here, and to those they tell about these remedies. Thank you so much for all your efforts :)
May God bless you and yours."
EC: Thanks for the suggestion and for all of your feedback posts! 2 weekends ago we launched the registered user section, which eliminates the need to enter your name, city and state for all posts. Once registered, you just need to log in.
Here's the registration page: http://www.earthclinic.com/register.php
08/11/2009: Tricia from Ireland replies: "hi to all. I registered and was told there would be an confirmation e-mail sent before full registration would take place. I didn't receive this and so assumed I had done something wrong. When I tried to re-register I'm told my e-mail is already in use. EC, maybe you can guide me in the right direction, thanks."
EC: Hi Tricia, sorry you didn't receive the email with the authorization passcode. Occasionally it ends up in Junk mail and occasionally the server attached to your email account will reject it as spam and you will never see it. Please email deirdre@earthclinic.com with the screen name you used when you registered and we will send you the authorization code. Thank you!

07/31/2009: Harriet from Federal Way, Wa writes: "I painstakingly filled out the questionnaire for fibromyalgia and when I hit the submit button it tells me there is a problem with my submission...that I must be 13 or older. I checked...the age field is sporting my correct age of 55 years. Why is it rejecting me?
OK, NOW at the bottom of this contact form is a box to confirm I am older than 13. I will click the agree and hope that clears things up. If it does, perhaps your webmaster needs to have that option available before one tries to submit their response? Thanks. Very interesting website."
EC: Hi Harriet.
We apologize that you spent so much time filling out the fibromyalgia form and then the form did not go through.
Last night our programmers installed some new features on the contact us/give feedback page of Earth Clinic and it appears the new code on that form may have affected the fibromyalgia survey form. We'll have them fix the problem asasp.Thanks again for alerting us to the issue.

A few weeks ago Deidre posted two links that had great information. I did not save it and now cannot find them. One link had a chart of what of wrong and then what to take. The other link was very interesting also, but cannot remember much. Can you tell me where they are now or provide them again? Thank you for this site."
EC: Took a while to find them, but here they are!

The 30 page article is called "Examining the Fingernails When Evaluating Presenting Symptoms in Elderly Patients" and has excellent photos. The article is from medscape.com: http://cme.medscape.com/viewarticle/571916 but you cannot access more than page 1 on medscape unless you are a subscriber. However, I found it on a couple of other websites - this one is a .pdf: http://www.national-toxic-encephalopathy-foundation.org/NailDiagnosisMedscape.pdf"

Specifically, I would like to know if you ever think that your wonderful web page will become bilingual English/Spanish or some articles in Spanish or if you know or own a web page like this one that can be accessible to Spanish speaking people that do not speak English.
I will appreciate your help, there many people no-English speaking looking for articles like the ones published here.
Regards,
JB"
EC: Thank you for your feedback. We did start this endeavor Summer, 2008 (see the acv in spanish page), but it turned out to be far too costly for a website like ours and stopped short!

I say it works, and you slam me - thanks a lot!"

i noticed that on the "latest feedback" page, when you go from page 1 to page 2, a bunch of feedback will be missing. for eg, right now, the first page ends at "COCONUT OIL FOR PERIORAL DERMATITIS " and the 2nd page start at "SESAME OIL FOR OIL PULLING." However there is a bunch of feedback missing in between.
thanks,

I enjoy reading the Latest Posts, but when I have been away on travel with no access to a computer, I miss a lot! Is it possible for Earthclinic to add a link at the bottom of the latest posts, such as "Next 100 posts" or something like that. I notice they do this on craigslist.org. This might be a great way for us to read all of the Latest Posts in order and not miss any of them. Thank you again."
EC: Thanks for the great suggestion, Sandy! A few people have also requested this over the past few months, so I will ask the programmers (who need to do a few updates anyway) to see what they can do.
