Always check the Q&A section for Ted's remedies. The link to the Q&A is located at the top of the table of contents menu on most pages.
04/11/2010: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Rondamommie,I just saw your post and thought I should interject some very valuable info in regards to autism. There are some amazing people doing work to turn it around through diet. Donna Gates is a strong force in this movement and you can see her book, The Body Ecology Diet or go on her website. There is a lot of info and it is unbelievable what she has achieved. She offers solid, hands-on advice with very specific instructions in how to turn things around. If you go there you will see that she is about to launch a free teleseminar devoted to parents of autistic children in which they themselves will also talk about what they are doing and their stories of recovery. You have to pre-register for it to access it but it is free and once you register you will continue to have access to it to listen to over again. I just did this with her Spring Cleansing seminar and have listened to it twice now.
She has also created the Bedrok Community devoted to families who deal with autism that you might want to check out. There are stories of recovery, lots of support, diet suggestions and recipes, workshops, etc. You can go to bedrokcommunity.org and see all this info.
I have only recently discovered her work and have learned so much and have such respect for all she has done to help people recover their lives. I hope this helps you.
Wishing you the best on your journey,
Lisa"

03/14/2010: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "I'm afraid that although I use Amazon quite often and really value the comments posted there I don't see the use of letting people know whether a particular comment was useful or not. As I use Amazon.com for the comments and there are many I don't often read them all so the fact that I don't rate them it doesn't mean they were not useful. The same here, I only read the comments that apply to me which doesn't mean at all that the other ones are not useful. I think that it would give the wrong kind of information such as some comments being more useful than others which wouldn't be true. They are more useful to you maybe but are they in the whole? The fact that no one in my househol doesn't suffer from ear aches right now doesn't mean that comment might not be very useful in the future? It won't bother me if you start having such an option but is it really useful? Does it really show the value of the posting?"

Thanks for the feedback. We can ban ads only when we have the url of the ad (e.g. www.bad-ad.com). Please let me know which pages you see the irritating ads and the url, if possible. Also, are they Chitika ads or Google ads?
No ads should be "popping up" however, in the middle of posts anywhere on the site. The ads are all located in the same place on every page, either at the very top or the very bottom. Anyone else seeing pop up ads in the middle of a page?

02/25/2010: Judy from Meldrim, Georgia writes: "Dear EC: Re: Guidelines:
1) Please correct Ted's error there [under ACV & BS remedies] in which he says "250 mg," but means 250 ml.
2) Also, it would be good to add to the Guidelines a compilation of general facts about getting EC cures to work if at first they do not seem to.
For example, I have read the following types of cases:
A: the cure did not seem to work until it was tried for a longer time than was posted - but then it did kick in. Principle: be sure to try a remedy long enough, sometimes longer than is recommended or typical.
B: a cure was said not to have worked because the person's liver was in too bad a shape --- so, Principle: make sure your liver - or clogged colon or whatever - is fit enough to process the cure. Might need to address that issue first before using a remedy.
C: a cure was reported not to work (it happened to be with the usual ACV amount) until the poster happily reported she upped the amount of the remedy. So, Principle: is to (cautiously)use more than recommended in some instances.
Thanks very, very much for your work & concern for others as displayed by this site.
Judy"
EC: Thanks for the great suggestions, Judy!
Ted's error has been fixed. The rest of your post will be added to our guidelines page as WISE ADVICE FROM OUR READERS!

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"
RepliesEC: 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.

11/08/2009: 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!

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."

EC: Hi Connie. Earth Clinic uses sessions rather than cookies for registered users. A session expires every 2 hours, which is why you are finding yourself logged out. At this point we're not planning on supporting cookies (which would allow you to stay logged in longer), but this week we will be adding a log in/password field to the top of every page to save people that extra click!
We make upgrades to the site a little at a time because the programming fees (outside contractor) are so costly!

However, certain posts will not be posted on the LP page if we deem them to be too risque (i.e., posts that contain graphic details for conditions like genital warts and bacterial vaginosis).

The preview feature works perfect and is great!.
Thanks a lot!

EC: Hi Alain,
The site uses sessions to save login information. The only "problem" with that is that once you navigate away from EC you need to login again. We realize its annoying for people who come back to the site a few times a day and have to log back in, but sessions are more secure than cookies, according to one of my programmers.

03/08/2010: Alain from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada replies: "2nd feedback
I noticed that, once in the preview, both the edit and submit links returns back to the original submit form.
I realize now that the preview is not a new window but an addition to the submit form. So the edit and submit links navigate to either sections from the same page. The submit link does not perform the form submission, it therefore might confuse some in the beginning.
My only suggestion than is could there be just a little popup info that might say for example when the cursor is over edit "brings you to the edit box" and "brings you to the submit button" when the cursor is over the submit link?
The preview section is good and already saved me some typos.
Thanks
Alain"

For example, there are so many Apple Cider Vinegar posts, that it would be helpful to know from the start, what ailment we are addressing. The title of the posts could read something like this: APPLE CIDER VINEGAR/INDIGESTION, or APPLE CIDER VINEGAR/GOUT, or APPLE CIDER VINEGAR/SCALP, or APPLE CIDER VINEGAR/ECZEMA, etc. In other words, when appropriate, let's not just use one or the other, but BOTH, combined!
I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I believe it would greatly help the reading audience following a particular remedy for a specific ailment. It seems to me it would also greatly help the dedicated EarthClinic's staff. I want to express my appreciation to the wonderful staff at EarthClinic for all the time and effort you put into running this awesome website. You all are doing a great job, and I am very thankful for it."
EC: Hi, Marea. Thanks for the great feedback. This is a programming issue that commenced when we went live with the new database in May. The title that shows up on the Latest Posts page is the same title that shows up on a particular ailment page (i.e., where the blue link takes you when you click on it). Ergo why you see APPLE CIDER VINEGAR again and again on the latest posts page. It is very irritating, we agree! We'll have to ask the programmer for a fix to this issue since we don't have an ability to create one title for the Latest Posts page and another title for the ailments. Our genius web programmer built a customized database to look as much as possible like the old site (still available for viewing at www2.earthclinic.com).. but take 7 years of pasting posts on multiple pages to fit various categories by hand and then try and create programs to order all of this information.. He ran into a lot of tricky issues as you might imagine!

What I would like to see is an effort towards raw food and raw food recipes. Raw food prevents most illnesses and helps lead a better in an environmentally friendly way. Which ties in neatly with the goals of 'Earth clinic'.
Thank you!"
RepliesEC: Great idea, thank you! Got any recipes to send our way for the page? http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/raw_food.html
We added some of our existing raw garlic, cabbage and apple posts to this new page.

How about making a short You Tube clip so that we can add it to our list of favourites, and also forward the link to friends who can then do likewise. It's an amazingly effective way of spreading the WORD!
It doesn't have to be anything elaborate.
Thanking you for all your hard work!
Love & light,
@nnie"
EC: Thanks for the great suggestion, Annie. We discussed YouTube footage with Ted during one hilarious IM-ing session last winter. It's on our to do list. However, when someone writes in an idea we have for the site, we tend to move forward more quickly, so thanks for the nudge!
Ted will have to do a video clip in Bangkok and we'll have to do ours here in Atlanta, GA. Should be interesting...
