09/16/2008: Jeannie from Asheville, nc writes: "I work in a related field of care and have a history of working in health care fields for most of my adult life, and I so appreciate this site and just want to remind folks: conventional medicine is constrained by reimbursement and the system that surrounds actual care. It isn't that your doc doesn't care about you or that he/she does or doesn't believe that natural remedies will be effective. But there is a system in place which works very well to support reimbursable services. And no one is going to get paid for your ACV or your H2O2. So be a conscientious consumer, cut your doc some slack and provide as much relevant imformation as you can when you see a conventional MD. And whenever possible, do your own research first and find out if something simple and non-toxic will work for you. It's going to be up to you to do so, and this site is a wonderful aid to using your own common sense. Kudos for a great resource!"

09/15/2008: Philisiwe from Kwazulu Natal, South Africa writes: "people have started seeing changes in my body just for a week and i dont feel tied and hungry craving for junk food any more i am enjioying the diet i am going uner i feel so health and the easy way of loosing waight i wish that it can helph oter poeple who were obesy just likeme and it bring the confindence to me"

EC: Hi Philisiwe, glad to hear you are experiencing success with your new diet. Would you please tell us what remedy you are taking or what diet you are on? Thanks!

08/23/2008: Tuula from Little Britain, Ontario Canada writes: "I just found your web-site & think it's wonderful .But I'm frustrated of not finding the cures mentioned only as abbreviations. In this case VCO , can't find it ! Please help ! Tuula"

EC: Sorry about that, Tuula. We'll try to add the names in next to the abbreviations in future incoming posts. VCO = Virgin Coconut Oil.

08/22/2008: Stella from OH writes: "I love your new look! So peaceful, like heaven on earth, the perfect dwelling place for Earth Angels like you."

EC: Thank you so much, Stella!

08/18/2008: Joyce from Chippewa Lake, Ohio writes: "I did a search on Earth Clinic for scoliosis, and it brought me to a page of links. I clicked on a link, and the next page, instead of talking about scoliosis, it said "Did any of these solutions help you." There were no solutions, or anything. I'm confused."

EC: Sorry about that... page has now been fixed: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/scoliosis.html
Make sure you also read the Q&A section.

08/12/2008: Hope from Sacramento, CA writes: "Your new website is very lovely and calming and the pale green is most healing - thank you,as always for a splendid job and a most exceptional site!"

EC: Thank you so much, Hope. Glad you like it -- we do too!

08/09/2008: Stan Wolfe DVM from Dallas, Texas writes: "I really love your website. I practiced in the Ozarks for many years and became well aquainted with many folk remedies that were quite effective. I learned many years ago that pharmaceuitcals, though sometimes necessary because folks allowed conditions to progress to emergency conditions, never really "cured" any long term, chronic or degenerative disease. For a long time now, I have worked with concentrated fruit pigment and botanical extracts, as well as oxidative therapies for true healing. Thank you for your website and I commend your work."

07/31/2008: Patricia from Houston, Texas writes: "I knew ACV had properties that were good for nearly everything. However, I never knew how to take or use it for effectiveness. Thank you so very much for making it available to all who are lucky enough to find your site. Pat"

07/30/2008: Maria from Toronto, Canada writes: "I want to thank everybody for taking the time to share these tips...The Cayenne Pepper helps me, and I just looked for cures for nausea and diarreha..I'm about to go and try them now... thank you and God bless you."

07/26/2008: Mary from Forest Lake, Minnesota writes: "The new web site it great, but what I really miss is the page that had Ted's new reply's to questions. He is so full of information, I really enjoyed reading his page of latest posts. Now it is too hard to find a lot of his information. A separate Ted's latest posts would be greatly appreciated. Keep Up the excellent work Earth Clinic."

EC: Okay, Mary -- ask and ye shall receive!

Here is the page from the old site (pre-database) that we will start up again by copy and pasting from the Latest Q&A page: http://www.earthclinic.com/ted_latest_posts.html

Please make sure to bookmark this page until we create a new link for it.

P.S. Ted tends to reply to posts at the beginning and the end of each month. We have about 6 new replies from Ted that we will post to that page shortly..

07/21/2008: Alain from Ottawa, Canada writes: "Earth Clinic's Contact Us Form:

I discovered that when I put two words in the
"Your State or Country" field like
Ontario, Canada

the form crashes. It took me really some while to realize what was happening.

I thought you might be interested to know. Thanks for the site"

EC: We had no idea that was happening -- thank you so much for telling us! We've sent your comments to our programmer and hopefully will resolve the issue soon.

07/18/2008: Rosetta from Rogers, Arkansas writes: "Thankyou. My husband has tried prescription drugs for his acid reflux.Nothing seems to help. I am going to go and buy apple cider vinegar.Thankyou so much.I will let you know how it works.Your site is like a breath of fresh air.

Thankyou Again.
Rosetta"

07/19/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "To Rosetta from Rogers, Ark. Hi Rosetta, If you diligently work at eliminating all bleached flour from your husband's diet, you might find that you also eliminate his acid reflux problem that nothing helps. It works for me and I can tell you that unless breads and cereals state l00% whole grain, they aren't, and probable contain some bleached flour. You will also find that many products contain both bleached and unbleached flour. The above has been working for me for over 30 years now. I don't know what it is in the bleaching process that creates the problem, but since I can eat whole grains or unbleached products without getting the problem, I know that is where the problem is."

07/03/2008: Jennie from Cph, DK writes: "The Future of Natural Remedies: I have to write about this, because the future of our right to use natural remedies is in danger! The EU is looking to ban all natural remedies as an issue og "public health". This goes for the US and Canada too. If this has any interest, read more :

06/29/2008: Sandhya from Makawao, Hawaii writes: "I think that a strong donation and address for Ted of Bangkok be included as he spends so much of his time giving people free feedback. It is nice to acknowledge Ted in this way. People probably think he has alot of money or is retired and financially set. None of this is true and I saw this with my own eyes in February, Donations would greatly add to Ted being able to continue doing his research and for his personal well being. I would like to see people give back in gratitude to someone who gives so much of himself.

EC: Information on making donations to Ted has always been located on this page: http://www.earthclinic.com/donations.html.

06/25/2008: Lynne from Manalapan, NJ writes: "I posted a comment early this morning and at 10:30 p.m. it's not on here. Makes me wonder if the site and the remarks are legit, as I am now sitting with a banana wrapped around my finger and am wondering if I've been had."

EC: As it states in the notes section on our contact us page... "Please note that it can take several days to post your email to the web site. Then again, sometimes we post it within minutes of receiving it!"

06/15/2008: Sharon from Loretto, Tennessee writes: "Really like this wesite. I came across this while searching for homemade sunburn remedies for our horsed. I am delighted with all the dif info that is so helpful. The articles on avc just comfirms other publications I have read on its healing properties. A little paperback (Vermont Medicine) contains info in the use of acv not only for human consumption but for livestock as well. I will be visting this site often in the future.

WEBSITE COMPLIMENTS

03/08/2009: Bill from St. Louis, USA writes: "Dear Friends at Earthclinic: (YEA!) This is a Thank You for all your wonderful work. A web site like yours confirms my faith in humanity. I am sure that so many of we readers forget, or take for granted what a wonderful service you provide. It is obvious that what you do is "from the heart", sincerely humanitarian and a blessing to the world. Earthclinic doesn't aggressively solicit for donations or subscriptions, but we, the beneficiaries of your kindness, should make an effort to support and ensure that Earthclinic thrives. I encourage all who read and especially those who have been helped by Earthclinic and Ted, to Please Subscribe and Donate! This world would be much poorer indeed without Earthclinic and Ted! Continued Blessings To You All!
Bill in St. Louis

(NOTE:) Please read the following "Thank You" to Ted. If there is a proper place to post these "Thank You" notes, please do so. Unless you deem otherwise, I would like to (on occasion), throw in a "don't forget to Donate and Subscribe" reminder in my posts.

My Email Reply To Ted:

Ted: What an honor! It is hard to state how wonderful it is to hear directly from you. I hope you are aware how much suffering you have relieved-- worldwide, no less! You are truly a great man, and a genuine Humanitarian! Our world would be much better if only there were more men like you. I follow your prolific body of work through earthlinic, and I wonder, how do you do it? What a tremendous quantity of work you produce! To freely share your knowledge on a web site is a testimony to your moral character, but to take time to answer personal Emails is--hard for me to comprehend! Thank you for sharing your genius with the people of this planet! Is there a "Nobel Prize" for Humanitarianism? If so, I nominate Parhat Sathid (Ted) Napatalung!"

EC: Thank you so much for your support, Bill! I will forward your post to Ted.

WEBSITE QUESTIONS

11/08/2009: Brianna from Dublin, Ireland writes: "hi earth clinic this might sound like a stupid question but here goes - what is bht?"

EC: Hi Brianna,

BHT is Butylated hydroxytoluene, an antioxidant food additive. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butylated_hydroxytoluene

10/12/2009: John from Tampa, Fl writes: "I am usually all over this site. I came across a post that excited me, now I cant find it. I think it was in the HIV section about a guy whose friend was in the hospital. The friend began to become covered in acne like bumps all over, he started taking _______ and immediately the bumps went away. I cant find this post anywhere!"

EC: Sorry, we searched too and can't find it! The closest thing was a reference to acne-like bumps in the description of the keratosis pilaris page here: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/keratosis_pilaris.html

08/28/2009: Matt from Woodstock, Vermont writes: "How do you delete a post you wrote if you are not a member of the site? What if you wrote a post about a remedy that helped you and you want to delete it because there are some adverse affects? I never signed in and became a member and I would rather delete it entirely that write another post about the adverse affects.

Thanks,
Matt"

EC: Hi Matt, please send let us know which post you would like deleted and we will remove it right away. You can use the general feedback form or email deirdre@earthclinic.com. Don't worry, we will not post any removal requests on Earth Clinic!

EC: Hi Deanna, here it is: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/morgellons.html#AI_34487

11/06/2009: Phil from Dearing, Ga writes: "Hello EC. I have been reading and posting on this site for a while now and have some concerns as of today. I had asked Ted some questions about borax and soy safety and he did respond back to me , but now I can not find that post of mine or his response any where on earth clinic... All my other post I am able to find. I started looking at Ted recommendations, for people with health concerns and have noticed as of late he is not so much mentioning borax internally, but still is giving instructions for externally.

Are you all moving away from useing borax internally?

Should I be concerned? Because I used it over a six week period internally in the summer of 2008.

I just find it strange that these questions and TEDS response back to me is no longer on here. And it was in the last week or so that I posted it.

Also, I noticed EC dates back to 1999, but I never see any post past 2006, is there an archive or are post deleated after a certain amount of time?

It's to late if for me if borax is not being used internally anymore, as I have already taken it over one year ago, But if Ted is moving away internal suggestions... Then it should be NOTED on the Borax page.

Thank You,
Phil"

EC: Hi Phil,

Your post and Ted's response about borax is still on the site! It's here - http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/borax2.html#GF. Nothing was removed.

Okay, this is very weird. I just found your post on the Latest Posts page and then lost it. It seems to be caught in between page 1 and page 2! If you click on the Latest Post link, you won't find it, but if you go to the bottom of Latest Posts page 2 and click the link for page 1, you will find your post. This is obviously a programming malfunction. Thanks for catching it! This is the url to find your posts. http://www.earthclinic.com/latest_posts.php?Start=1.

Dates: Prior to 2006, no dates were posted on Earth Clinic. Read more about the EC dating system here: http://www.earthclinic.com/guides.html#notes (see #3).

Posts are rarely deleted on the site, nor is anything archived except for the Fibromyalgia Questionnaire forms. We will eventually have to start an archive system as some ailments are starting to contain too many pages of feedback like the Bacterial Vaginosis.

11/07/2009: Earth Clinic replies: "Thanks again Phil for bringing this to our attention. Programming problem fixed! Your missing borax post is on page two of Latest Posts."

11/08/2009: Phil from Dearing, Ga replies: "Hello EC! I am probably the most paranoid person you all will ever have contact with and there is a story behind that, but we will save that for another day!!!

Anyway I feel great, But I guess sometimes the fear of the unknown can wear on any of us... I just got real concerned ( Paranoid ) when I did not see my post.

I definitely feel as though the borax internally helped me alot ... I had just read on some other website about the dangers and got paranoid. But the ideal of taking a small amount of a poison is not NEW... My aunt, for years has taking real sulfer in capules for her kidney infections and the medical doctor has told her that it would kill her. But she is still alive and doing fine. She has done this all of her life. I just got a little paranoid, I GUESS I MISSED A DOSE OF MY NIACINAMIDE( B-3), I'm ok now. LOL!

Thank You for all that you do!

Sincerely,
Phil"

EC: Hi Phil, no no no not paranoid at all! I would have wondered where the heck my stuff was too! I was wondering why a few people kept writing in wondering where their posts were! Most importantly, you brought sometime to our attention that needed to be fixed on the database, so I am very appreciative. Thank you!

Deirdre

11/08/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Phil: Borax is a regular remedy I have used and is very often used here to get to get hormones level to normal levels, if they were low. It's one of the most useful supplements I use. The most used is alkaline (baking soda, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, etc), and in the future you will be seeing more of iodine and borax also. Iodine drives out fluoride, bromine that accumulates over your lifetime and hence borax is to remove fluoride, and iodine is to remove bromine, and sodium thiosulfate is to reduce chlorine. Hence, borax is one of the remedies I used most frequently. It helps normalize bone metabolism, normalize magnesium to calcium ratio, is a required mineral, normalizes hormone for both men and woman, it has a weak viagra properties which is helpful for people 40s and up. It's removal of fluoride I have found normalizes my sleep pattern and now I have taken up to iodine (lugol's solution) as it has the benefit of alkalizing effect, and drives out fluorides and bromines as well.

It should be noted that in 1971, all flour processing switched from iodine to bromine, and hence you get iodine deficiencies when iodine is replaced with another halogen, that has no nutritional benefit at all. Hence this is white bread and white flour are so unhealthy.

In response to your mention of B3, the B3 is one of the few vitamins that support pancreas function in normalizing blood sugar. One of the most difficult areas I have in health is the issue of sugar. B1, B3 Niacinamide and B6 are the common B vitamins I used for blood sugar. B3 reduces anxiety, emotional disturbances, suicidal tendencies, etc. In general, B3 has a calming effects and is synergistic with amino acid supplements. Takes about 30 minute to take effect. In event of extreme depression, the minimum dose for B3 niacinamide is 500 mg. It won't work below that. However, most people would be happy with 250 mg dose."
