12/16/2008: Sandy from New York, NY USA writes: "ACV - Acid, or Alkaline??? Ok, I'm totally confused. Some posts claim that ACV makes the body alkaline, and that this is what is healthy, yet there is an extensive post saying it makes it ACID, and that it is an ACID environment that is healthy. Which is it??? I'm confused..."

EC: Perhaps the best answer: http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/acvinegar_questions.html#Question_2404

12/14/2008: DW from Vancouver, BC, Canada writes: "Search not working in IE!!!!"

EC: Thanks, DW. I just tested the EC Google search on Internet Explorer and it appears to be working fine on our end. Try clearing your history and cache and seeing if that helps. If it doesn't, close down IE and then restart it. Hopefully one of those 2 things will do the trick.

P.S. If anyone else is experiencing this problem, please let us know!

11/27/2008: Linda from W Newfield, ME writes: "Hi - you all do a great job maintaining this site and I enjoy it immensely!! When I responded to Ina (Rosacea Remedy) my post and the original post from 2007 were the only ones to display...somehow the 'threads' aren't sewn together, so to speak...bad pun, sorry! Further down the page I saw the 2007 post along with Ina's... Anyhow, this is just something I noticed this evening...hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. "

EC: Thanks for your feedback, Linda. Yes, this is an ongoing (rather irksome) programming issue with the Latest Posts page. If someone replies to a "child" post, (i.e., one of the posts indented underneath a "parent" post), that particular child post won't show up on the Latest Posts page, rather it will reference the parent post (i.e., the original post). But the new post falls in the right place when you click on the link to the specific remedy or ailment page. Copying and pasting the original text takes enormous amount of time and then the problem is that now the information is duplicated on the specific ailment/remedy page. We probably need to put a note at the top of the Latest Posts page to click the link if you want to follow the thread. Even then, not a perfect solution in cases of long threads.We'll ask the programmers again to try and fix it!



11/29/2008: Sandy from Bangalore, India replies: "My suggestion for the latest page post:

Maintain it as it is currently, ie, let the parent post be seen along with latest post on latest post page. However, at the end of parent post, give text 'More details', which should be clickable, and takes user to inside page with the whole thread displayed. I work in software system design, and this is the solution I would use if I was developing earthclinic. Hope this helps."

EC: Great idea, thank you Sandy! I will send your suggestion along to the programmers and see what they can do. Hopefully we can resolve this issue soon...

Acidophilus is good a good idea but not because of risk of getting a yeast infection. Garlic is actually listed as a cure for yeast infections. Thanks, jess"

Phoebe are no longer taking harmful alergy meds-many of your remedies are already working -I just have to learn how often to give and just what is working the best!
MY QUESTION IS:Do you have a Book of Remedies? I would like to be able to give them to friends that do not have access to the inter net or for my own pleasure of reading.I hope so! Thanks! Bonnie"

EC: Thanks for the suggestion, Bonnie! We get book requests from our readers about 4x a year and are looking into such a project. There are pros and cons to book publishing, so we have to think long and hard about it...

Deirdre



05/14/2009: Dj from PDX, OR replies: "I like the idea of a book. Perhaps instead of publishing a paper book you can start out with an ebook. Of course this is an old post and you may already have a book and I just missed it.

Also may I tell you that my very 1950's, the doctors know everything dad is going to try the oil pulling. Just maybe I will crack that nut yet.

Thank you for all your work and for maintaining this site!"

EC: It's on the backburner for the time being, but thank you for the input!

EC: Not sure if there is another name for this -- we're checking with Ted.

Besides being sold as a prescription drug, Potassium Citrate is also sold as a supplement. Here's one brand we found on iherb: http://www.iherb.com/productdetails.aspx?c=1&pid=2627&utm_source=gb&utm_medium=f3

I have noticed this problem earlier under other sections too."

10/10/2008: Sandy from Bangalore, India writes: "I am on latest Posts page. Supposing i want to reply to 10th post. When I hit reply button for 10th post, the feedback pop-up opens, which is correct. However, the latest posts page also gets re-set and reloads, Which means that while replying to feedback, I cannot see the post I want to reply too. Also, after replying, if I want to continue reading, I now have to search thro all the posts to get to the post I was at.

Solution: On hitting reply button, the latest feedback post should not get reset."

EC: Thanks, Sandy. We'll mention it to the programmer. One factor might be that we approved a new post to appear on the LATEST POSTS page at the same time.

[YEA]  10/06/2008: Shallena from Loma Linda, CA, USA writes: "Maybe I didn't see it, but I have a difficult time discovering the answer to my question: can a breastfeeding mother do this type of detox? I understand that the toxins can concentrate in the blood and therefore be excreted in the breastmilk. I would like to try to cleanse, because I get frequent yeast infections and I am tired all the time and I have constant headaches, but the doctors can not tell me why. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you."

EC: Shallena, which detox are you referring to? Please tell us the page and remedy names. There are quite a few detox suggestions on the site! Thanks...

10/06/2008: Della Heywood from Emeryville, CA writes: "Warnings / Side Effects:

Hi Earth Clinic,

I've visited your site many times and read hundreds of posts, and sent many people here. Thank You for existing!

I have a thought, which I hope will be constructive. In the spirit of making information FINDABLE to those of us who are seeking healing on our own.

After trying ACV to alkalinize myself, I experienced a huge overgrowth of yeast and I was forced to stop taking it after 3 days. This set me back at least a month in my healing. I could not figure out what was happening until I spent an hour or two reading online and finally came across a NAY / Sideeffect post on your site from someone which explained the sense of this to me. I stopped taking the ACV immediately and slowly returned to 'normal'. Now this is a peculiar reaction to ACV, but it was immediate for me, within an hour, and runs counter to most of the information out there, so it is confusing.

It took determination and a lot of time to find this information, and I know you want to make this site easy to navigate, so I am suggesting that you make the various categories (Yea, Nay, Maybe, Warning ) CLICKABLE somehow, so we can read the contents of these categories without digging for them. Most people would not spend the time to search and read every post, as I do. So I am writing in the spirit of helping the general population.

Also, I thought it might be helpful to mention this action of ACV, because it was so devastating to my delicate inner flora. For those of us who are slowly rebuilding a population, the use of ACV might be misleading.

thanks!
Della Heywood"

EC: Hi, Della. Thank you for your great suggestions. We do have a page called Remedy Side Effects which should have most of the negative reactions & side effects to various remedies posted on it. We probably need to comb through the site and see if there are missing posts that still need to be copied to the Side Effects page.

When Earth Clinic turned into a database in May, the programmers we hired were challenged how to display the 15,000 existing posts on the site. We tried to keep the same layout of the old site (www2.earthclinic.com), so therefore each remedy has a "ratings" tally (10 YEA, 2 MAYBE, 1 SIDE EFFECT), but the feedback posts are ordered by most recent date first. We'll ask if it is possible to order each section of posts by ratings, then by date.

Thanks again for your feedback. EC is a constant work-in-progress and we are always eager to hear suggestions!
Deirdre

I want to reassure you that my goal is to share with others the little information I collected from my many hours of web searches and that I avoid sites that encourage selling of expensive products. I believe in the philosophy of earthclinic.

God bless earthclinic"
