02/15/2009: Rich from Boca Raton, FL writes: "Since we have a digestion topic, perhaps a vitamins topic would be nice. To discuss which vitamins people take and why. To discuss common vitamin deficiencies. Maybe to discuss what a good multi-vitamin is and what would be more beneficial for a vegan to a skinny person to a young vs. old vs. healthy vs. sick. What are common deficiencies in different countries. Vitamin science is very inexact, and a controversial topic, but perhaps the members here, along with Ted can flesh this out a bit, or at least have an interesting discussion to advance the cause."
EC: Hi, Rich. EC does have a supplements section with quite a bit of feedback. Scroll down the page here and you will see it. We also have a supplements Q&A: http://www.earthclinic.com/Supplements/supplements_questions.html
We also started another page which you can also check out. We need to combine the information from these 2 pages into 1.

I frequently visit this website to find remedies of different health issues. But I have noticed that it is very difficult to find the remedy itself;all i get is the reader's feedback. The ted's remedy they mention is no where to be found! Please organise the remedies in a separate page or in the top of the reader's feedback page. I need the hair loss remedy (i found someone mentioning iodine, manganese, zinc etc) but couldn't find the complete regime that you must have published.
Please do something about it and if possible send me the link where I can find the mentioned remedy
Thank you.
Rubana"
EC: Please check the table of contents on each page. Ted's remedies are either located in the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, or on a link just below called TED'S REMEDIES.

01/21/2009: Gregg from Evanston, IL writes: "volume conversion tool:
I have noticed many people asking how to convert volumes from milliliter to ounce, etc. The easiest way is thru google. Just open google.com, in the search box enter, for example: "ml to oz" or "300 ml to oz" for a direct conversion. Can use any measure e.g., liters, cups, tsp. Also converts units of length, mass, time. Great tool, super easy. Note that it will also perform straight math, e.g. "2.5*4+6"=16
Thanks for the great site!"
EC: Thank you so much for the insight. We'll add this to our guidelines page.

01/21/2009: Rae from Norwich, UK writes: "Great site! Thanks for being there. :)
Minor quibble on the measures. Sometimes tablespoons are used but this is a different measure for Europeans (= 4 teaspoons) and Americans (= 2 teaspoons, I think). Can you clarify which measures you, your readers and Ted are using? If they are American, a European could end up taking twice as much as recommended!
With thanks"
EC: Thanks, Rae. Great suggestion! We''ve added this to our "To Do" list for each ailments page. In the meantime, your feedback has been posted on our guidelines page.

01/18/2009: Maureen from Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada writes: "Photographs of Deirdre, Ted & Bill: Hi would like to say the photos of Deirdre, Ted & Bill are good to have. They are very clear. I must say for some reason I thought Deirdre would have black shoulder length hair and was a lot older and Ted was bald (like Dr. Phil bald :)).
I think there should be a direct link to Bill Munro on YouTube so here it is.

EC: Didn't even know Bill had a video on YouTube!! Thanks for the Bill Munro link, Maureen, we'll add it to his page.

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

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

WEBSITE COMPLAINTS
06/25/2010: David from Anchorage, Ak writes: "I am concerned about the types of advertising seen on earthclinic. I would like to know a little more about who now owns the site, and such. To see ads from proactive and other pharmacuticals gives me the distinct impression that the site is compromised. I have taken to cut and paste a lot of information, as I believe that in the near future the site will be mollified by corporate advertising. There is never a case where this doesn't eventually happen. I am so very sad for this.
David"
RepliesEC: Hi David,
We've been running Google ads for the past 5-6 years now and Chitika ads for about a year. We are very grateful for these two ad networks because otherwise Earth Clinic would be too expensive a site to maintain/evolve. Donations, especially now during this recession, are few and far between. In that respect (re advertising), nothing has changed or been "compromised"on the site.
From a response we gave to someone who asked a similar question:
Any company in the world can create a google ad, which then gets triggered on a multitude of websites by certain key words. There are many, many different ads cycling through EC each day, too many to monitor. Also, ads vary by location. We've banned a number of offensive and creepy ads that have shown up on the site but frankly don't have the time/staff/energy to see what's cycling through every five minutes!
In answer to your question about who owns the site, 'tis the same person who has always owned the site, Deirdre Layne. http://earthclinic.com/support.html. We'll let everyone know if that ever changes.
06/26/2010: Carly from Seattle, Wa Usa replies: "....and Deirdre is doing one heck of a fine job!
I have a blog that uses Google ads....it brings revenue (miniscule in my case) and there is no way to totally monitor the ads.
The keywords trigger the ads...and since Earth Clinic is about HEALTH - it triggers the big pharm. company ads. (They think they are "health" - go figure ;-)
Easy to ignore, and not a big deal.
Thanks for letting me put in my .02
Carly "

WEBSITE COMPLIMENTS
07/12/2011: Livin Natural 4ever from Dover, Delaware, Usa writes: "I just want to start by saying that, I LOVE THIS SITE!!! This site is the best!!! So many times it has saved my life... I first discovered this site when I was looking for a natural cure for a sinus infection..... And I found the Neti Pot... Which by the way I had NEVER heard of!!! And I was cured and every since I look up everything on this site... I believe that there is a natural way to solve anything that is wrong with you without taking any type of "man made" pills.... I believe and swear by ACV!!! This is the cure all!!! I have used ACV to lose weight.... I use it to clean my face... I use it when I have a sore throat.... I use it to douche.... And I found out today by taking this wonderful natural product that I cleared up my allergies!! I also use it in the kitchen to clean meat before cooking it... It is the best ever!! I am on this site everyday and I really want to send out Peace and Blessings to everyone on this site for taking the time to help one another with their health issues.... It is a beautiful thing!! I was on the site today looking for my mom who has discovered that she has ulcers.... And I do not think that medication is the only way to go.... I am a 40 year old woman who use to swear by pills when I was young... Now the older I get the more I realize that alot of medications clear up one thing and cause something else to break down.... So I would rather find a natural cure... I will say that the natural cure takes a little longer... But I am never in a rush!! Once again I want to thank everyone on this site for all their wonderful insite and I wish everyone Peace, Health, and Blessings!!! :)"

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.
