MEDICATION AND SUPPLEMENTS

09/06/2011: Aki from Singapore: "Need your advise if I can take fenugreek if I'm taking medicine such as Vit C and stress tab. Also, if you undergo operation, should you stop taking or have a rest? If so, how long?

Your replies are much appreciated.

Thank you."

09/07/2011: Lily from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia replies: "Hi Aki, Vit C and stress tabs are not meds. Fenugreek is a herb, you can take them all together, or separate them throughout the day, whichever you like. Cheers Lily."
09/19/2011: Aki from Singapore replies: "Thanks Lily. Just curious, maybe you know, I've been taking Fenugreek since 8th Sept but still no result of estrogen in my bustline.

Really appreciate your response. Cheers!"

09/23/2011: Maria from Gippsland, Australia replies: "Hi Aki, If you are going to hospital for an operation they usually like you to stop taking supplements about 2 weeks beforehand. Some Drs now understand the importance of vit c and how any operation depletes the patient of vit c and so recommend it before and after the op (although I don't think many do).

08/30/2011: Sophia from Newport Beach, Ca Us: "Is taking grapefruit seed extract for diverticulitis dangerous when taking Cipro? Thks"

Replies
09/04/2011: Anna from Daytona, Florida replies: "Please be very careful using grapefruit seed extract. I used it an acutually deveoped diverticuli from it. Ialso got candida after using it for 3 days. I am still battling the candida today. What cured me of my diverticulus was taking probiotics daily and changing my diet. More fat , less carbs more nuts and meat fish and vegetables. Fat helps this move in the colon. It's like oiling up a car.. Thing move more freely. And No I didn't increase my fiber for diverticulus. I read that fiber from grains actually make it worse."
09/04/2011: Robert Henry from Ten Mile, Tn Usa replies: "I question every conclusion you say in this thread. You may be right, but years on this site say otherwise. How do you know what causes what? Give us more facts. GSE is a fungiside, how can it cause candidia?"
09/04/2011: Frankie from Madison, Al replies: "Annie from Daytona-

I just want to give a big amen to your gut-healing protocol. I have been following a similar program [no nuts] with excellent results. I started with an elemental liquid diet [very expensive though], switched to raw milk, then started myself on bone stock, meat, raw cage-free egg yolks and I stayed very low fiber for weeks. I still eat a lot of the less fibrous veggies [no cabbage or celery except juiced] which I cook to death in stock and then puree it all together in the blender. I do not use any grain products or legumes and only minimal sugars [I juice veggies every day, including carrots, my main source of sugars]. My other source of sugars is homeade probiotic drinks [beet kvass and kefir]. Six months ago, I felt like I wasn't gonna make it through another day. Now my symptoms are gone, and my general health and energy are much improved. I am able to work again.

I am slowly starting to add more fibrous foods back - but I do not intend to add back gluten grains. When I feel like it's ok to introduce non-gluten grains, like oatmeal, I will alone try them after they have been fermented for easier digestion. Grains are not nearly as healthy for many of us as we have been led to believe.

If a person tries to follow mainstream 'health' guidelines, such as the gov recommended DASH diet, and your guts are not optimal, you risk wrecking your health - I know, I did that. If you have lesions or inflammation in your guts, you CANNOT tolerate a high fiber diet and you've got no business eating grains - not even whole, organic, sprouted or fermented. So, trust your body [not your tastebuds] to let you know what it needs for its healing at any particular time. Not what media 'wisdom' will tell you to do.

PS - I also had a bad reaction to GSE, although some people I know swear by it. Healing is not a one size fits all deal. Like you, I would advise anyone who wants to use it to be very, very careful."

I would like to take it in the morning after breakfast as I am not home at lunch time and it is very inconvenient. I also take some vitamins and other medications after breakfast.

Replies
10/21/2011: Maria from Gippsland, Australia replies: "Hi Laura, The info you require should be on the leaflet inside the medication box. If there is any known interreaction between a medication and something it will be there. As Gail said her box has a warning sticker on it. My friend is on a few meds and now with her new one she was told not to have grapefruit with it, also Carly said she was told not to take something that would interact with her perscription so you should have been either told verbally or via a sticker or in the leaflet. If you are still unsure avoid the juice until you get your next script filled out and when you do ask the pharmacist if there is."

10/20/2011: Carly from Seattle, Wa - Usa replies: "Hi Laura,

I was told not to take amoxicillin with citrus juices years back as it would make the amoxicillin weaker. I think there are quite a few things that don't go with O. J. and Grapefruit Juice.

If you do a web search putting in the name of your drug along with the words "interacts with" or "foods that react with" you should be able to see a list of them.

It seems like the doctors or pharmacists would tell us these things, but their time is so limited by the powers that they work for that they don't always have time for us patients. :-(

I had a doctor not tell me (also years ago) that while on the pill if you develop diarrhea it could possibly make the pill not work. I have a daughter today due to this. Blessings in disguise. lol.

Anyway, good on you for looking out for yourself, as in these times, your doctor most likely won't have the time. Sad, but managed health care is what it is.... and what it is is pretty crappy.

Best,

MULTIPLE COMBINATIONS

12/14/2011: Linda from Lalaland, Thecreek, Usa: "Hi Earthclinic,

Here are a few questions which I hope Ted can/will answer:

I am female, weighing ~150 lbs. I have got the pure powdered Methylene Blue and have made it into a 1% solution;

How much of the diluted. 1% MB should I be taking every day, and for how long, to get rid of systemic Candida/fungus? I have thus far started with 1 drop per day and worked up to 8 drops per day, but how much higher is it safe to go with this? I will start decreasing by 1 drop per day until I have more information, and will stay at 4 drops per day until I know more.

I start with ~1 gm Sodium Ascorbate (homemade- 50% Ascorbic Acid, 50% non-aluminum Baking Soda), add about 10 oz of distilled water, then add an ounce or two of OJ to shift the flavor because I don't much like the taste, 1 pinch of Celtic Sea Salt, then add the drops of . 1% MB to the Sodium Ascorbate solution. Just so you know what I'm doing. I love the SA/BS/OJ :-). Dee-Lish.

Just before I go to bed, I make a second batch same as above except *without* the Methylene Blue, and drink it through the night.

Would it be OK to add a pinch of Borax to the above, or would that be a problem?

Also, if I want to add both Sodium Thiosulfate and Foodgrade Hydrogen Peroxide to my daily list of procedures, how would it be safest to do this? Should I take them separately, or can these all be combined safely?

Thanks to all you good people who make this site such a wonderful source of shared and healthy information :-).

Especially my thanks to Ted from Bangkok.

In case it makes a difference, I am trying to get *totally rid* of what looks to me like a bacterial infection masquerading as Rheumatoid Arthritis (No doctor will look past the RA to find its origin, they just slamdunk me into their "incurable" category and try to get me on drugs), and my blood sugar seems to be a little unstable as well.

I do not take any prescription medication. I do take an aspirin a few times per week.

Oh, PS: Since I started taking the Methylene Blue, and took pinches of Borax separately for 4 days last week, in the areas that hurt the worst, some kind of reddish rash appears on my skin at the very same spot, then the area hurts less after that.

I hope Ted can provide some insight as to how I should proceed. Ted, I can and will find any chemical thing you mention which may help, that won't be a problem.

I thank you for this wonderful site."

Replies
12/15/2011: Linda from San Francisco, Ca, Usa replies: "Well after several days/weeks of reading through countless posts (God Bless you, Ted and other people, thanks for all those posts :-)), I have gleaned the following info (distilled from a Ted post) posted elsewhere here:

--------------

For a 160 pound adult; 2 (or max 3, which may be a little high) drops of. 1% solution of Methylene Blue per dose, taken 2 or 3 times per day, with the last dose taken before 3PM.

--------------

So as of today, I'm backing the Methylene Blue way down to the '2-drop per dose theorem' (I do weigh less than 160 lbs), and will do this once or maybe twice per day. I had been feeling that, once I got over 4 per day it was a little much, anyway. This was a good confirmation.

Also found that Sodium Thiosulfate must be taken hours apart from Hydrogen Peroxide, Borax, or Ted's alkalizing formulas, and apparently Hydrogen Peroxide and Borax can be taken together with any of Ted's alkalizing formulas (From Ted's 'Remedy Combinations' thread).

I hope I'm on the right track here.

Bill, Ted, or anyone who knows from direct experience, I'm hoping to get some feedback from you.

Thanks for this wonderful site and God Bless,

Linda"

06/02/2011: 5054 from Denver Metro, Colorado: "Hello Ted and everyone, can I take both MSM and H2O2 at DIFFERENT times? What I have been doing is taking MSM 12 hours after I take H2O2.

I take 10 drops of 35% food grade H2O2 diluted down to 3% in water when I get up. I have just started taking MSM, so approximately 12 hours later I take 1/8 teaspoon mixed in water and will work up to a 1/2 tablespoon per day (I weigh 123 lbs. ) or more if I can.

Also, are there any vitamins or supplements that should NOT be taken with either MSM or H2O2? (I take quite a few different vitamins or supplements)

I also take NSI Hyaluronic Acid with BioCell Collagen II - 100 mg per serving and 1000 mg of vitamin C BUT I take the vitamin C approx. 8-10 hours BEFORE I take the Hyaluronic Acid as I read here in Earth Clinic that vitamin C breaks down the Hyaluronic Acid, which is not good.

I also want to say I enjoy Earth Clinic much, this is where I come to learn. I have spent many hours searching for an answer to my above questions but all I have found is: Ted said "..... Both a hydrogen peroxide and DMSO is often used as carriers, but they can't be used both together. They tend to neutralize one another. My experience is hydrogen peroxide seems to have an upper hands on infections over the DMSO. " http://www.earthclinic.com/Supplements/DMSO_questions.html

Thanks in advance for any and all responses. Ted, I know how busy you are but if you have time perhaps you can share your wisdom on these matters with me."

REMEDY COMBINATIONS AND MEDICATIONS

I cant seems to shave off insomnia, excessive thoughts, panic attacks, anxiety, depersonilization, muscle tension and Fatigue syndrome. My doctor want me to start the Anti-deppresant medication to help ease some of the symptoms for at least 3 months.

1. One Tablespoon of ACV in the morning with honey

2. Cook with one table spoon of Coconut oil

3. Take medication at night.

Any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated. I hope they dont counter act each other

Thanks"

05/23/2011: Lily from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia replies: "No, ACV and coconut oil are kitchen items not medications. You won't have any problem taking them with medication. Lily."
05/23/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "Surulere, depression can come from toxins, have you ever thought of that? If no major event has occured in your life and you are depressed you might have too much toxins in your body. I am reading a great book right now which refers to that. Taking Vit. C, at least 1000mg a day seems to help quite well. You might be able to come off your depression medication which, if the problem is indeed the toxins, is not doing you any favours. Sorry I can't help you with the combination you are taking as I have no idea of the consequeces."
05/23/2011: Kelly from Cambridge, Massachusetts replies: "Francisca - Depression is an illness, not the result of "some major event that occurred" in someone's life. That type of depression is situational (lost a job, divorce, etc. ) and the depression will pass with time. No med's would be prescribed for that type depression.

Surulere - All of your symptoms listed would benefit more - MUCH more, from a benzodiazapene (CNS depressant used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, sleeplessness, racing thoughts, muscle tension) than an SSRI (antidepressant).

I would get a second opinion. I truly would. I work in the medical field and when I read your symptoms, I thought; "Why is the doctor prescribing SSRI's/antidepressants?? She's not depressed, she has textbook ANXIETY issues and should be on a benzo."

Returning to your question though - yes, you can absolutely continue taking the ACV, honey and coconut oil regardless of the type medication. Hope you feel better, soon."

05/23/2011: Carly from Seattle, Wa - Usa replies: "Re Depression: It can also be a chemical imbalance - and not the result of anything psychological.

I do find it odd that so many people are clinically diagnosed and on drugs for it these days (including people I am very close to).... when just a couple of decades ago it wasn't so widespread.

Or maybe it was, and people just didn't know it or talk about it as much?"

05/23/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia replies: "Surulere

Here is an interesting article on Niacin (Vitamin B3). When you have a deficiency it can cause depression, anxiety and even insomnia. Dr. Hoffer has done many studies on Niacin. An important point here is that niacin is a vitamin, not a drug. It is not habit forming. Niacin does not require a prescription because it is that safe. It is a nutrient that everyone needs each day. Different people in different circumstances require different amounts of niacin.

There are dangers in taking anti anxiety "medications" long term so I would stay away from those. One danger is memory loss.

Calcium - 600mg

Magnesium - 600mg

Melatonin - 5mg (sublingual - the kind you let melt under your tongue)

Take this about 45 mins before bed, and you WILL sleep! I slept SEVEN hours straight a couple of nights ago, and the main new thing I have added is the melatonin. I love it.

Also - do NOT drink energy drinks, coffee or take a B-complex vitamin after noon or it can mess up your sleep big time.

Good luck to you!"

05/24/2011: Carly from Seattle, Wa - Usa replies: "OH! I forgot to add - along with the Melatonin before bed, and the 600mg of Calcium and Magnesium - take a good Vitamin D-3 supplement. I take at least one 5, 000 iu a day now. Living in Seattle (Washington State) there is VERY little sun.... Vitamin D is so important for so many things!"
05/24/2011: Braidy from Toronto, Ontario, Canada replies: "The anxiety and panic issues are the tip of the iceberg. They always stem from another deeper problem, unfortunatly. Sometimes you don't realize that you have a problem until the anxiety and panic begins. These attacks are your body's outlet- a type of shut down and "no-more" where your body takes over. The actually scientific problem is the lack of sertonin absorbtion and chronic depression is pre exisiting not from an event. If you are taking anti anxiety meds, DO NOT take anything that causes drowsiness. It puts you at risk of stroke.

All the omegas (fish oil), B12 and gluten free diet ease the symptoms. 15 years of fighting it myself :) Cognitive therapy works."

03/01/2012: Linda from San Francisco, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Surulere (what a pretty name :-)),

3 or 5mg Melatonin alone will put me to sleep without all the other stuff mentioned.

As I read your posts, I am thinking "her nervous sustem sounds exhausted". I do not know if that is true for you, but it has been true for me and here is what worked the best for me:

2 raw egg yolks, either buried in a smoothie where you can't taste them or- what I do- is thoroughly wet both hands, gently pour the unbroken yolk from the shell into my wet fingers, very carefully roll them from hand to hand (with cracked fingers letting the water run through and away) to rinse the clear white off and let the white go on down the drain, gently pick the whitish yolk strings off each end with my fingernails, then swallow the unbroken yolk down in one fell swoop without breaking it. A Kung Fu Black Belt taught me this technique many years ago.

Once I have swallowed it, I can feel the difference in my nerves within seconds, everything 'resets' to a very restful internal calm. Among many other valuable nutrients, egg yolks contain very assimilable Lecithin which is almost a perfect food for the nervous system, including Myelin Sheath, according to the late great Healer, Hanna Kroeger. Cooked eggs will not do this, it must be the yolk only, and it must be raw.

If you can't stand the idea of the egg yolks, you could acquire non-GMO Lecithin *granules* (the softgels of liquid lecithin won't do the same thing), which I like to dissolve into not-from-concentrate apple juice or fresh pressed cider and drink. It takes maybe 3 minutes for the granules to dissolve totally, and tastes like a very tasty combination of apple and vanilla.

09/18/2009: Kathy from Dubois, Pa replies: "OK...if I've got my science right, an oxide is a mineral bound with oxygen, like Magnesium Oxide, or Calcium Oxide, etc, and they have a high pH (are bases i.e. are alkaline). A citrate, like Magnesium Citrate or Calcium Citrate are esters formed by the partial neutralization of an oxide with citric acid, e.g. Magnesium Oxide plus Citric Acid forms Magnsium Citrate. The problem with the oxide form of minerals is that they are not very bioavailable and that they neutralize the very stomach acid that is needed to digest them. But a citrate, like Magnesium Citrate, on the other hand, is "pre-acidified" and much better absorbed by the body. Sodium bicarbonate is sodium bound to carbon...two carbon atoms (bi-carbonate) for every atom of sodium. Sodium Citrate is just another name for Citric Acid. Your question is a very good one, and hopefully someone else out there can help elaborate on an answer to it."

SODIUM THIOSULFATE, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

05/14/2011: Elly from Topeka, Kansas: "Hey Bill from San Fernando, Philippines, I just read a Ted quote "A hydrogen peroxide cannot be combined with sodium thiosulfate. Both would neutralize each other, but they can be taken hours apart. " If I have chlorinated water will hydrogen peroxide get rid of it and then go on to give oxygen to my body? I usually add the sodium thiosulfate to a big glass pitcher water and later in the day add some H2O2 drops but I didn't know these would neutralize each other, even hours apart? I was using a new charcoal filter to get the chlorine out but the water doesn't smell or taste the best left overnight. But with Sodium Thiosulfate it tastes fine. Thanks, love this site and all the wonderful people here xo"

Replies
05/14/2011: Lily from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia replies: "Hi I leave a 1 litre carafe of water on the kitchen bench all the time and refill it when needed. I find the chlorine taste is gone in about an hour. I read a book called 'Your body's many cries for water' by F. Batmanghelidj and he says leave your glass of water to sit for 1 hr and the chlorine will evaporate out of it. Cheers Lily."
05/15/2011: Bill from San Fernando, San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Elly... It is true that sodium thiosulphate will neutralize the hydrogen peroxide. So best to take these separately and a few hours apart. I take the ST more often than the HP because I think that there is a continual defensive battle against heavy metals, chlorine etc from modern processed food and water etc. And when you go out to eat with your friends to a restaurant(as we do), you really don't know what processed food you're eating. So it is a continual battle.

I usually reserve the hydrogen peroxide to take if there is something actually wrong with me. It is a very effective and broad acting ant-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal and is also useful against cancer. Ted has quoted research by Dr Reginald Holman, who implanted adenocarcinoma cancer in Walker rats in the 1950s. He just fed them a normal diet including 0. 45% HP in their drinking water and their cancer was gone in 15 - 60 days.

HP is highly reactive though. I've also read that if HP is taken with Vit C, it will neitralize this anti-oxidant as well. Ted advises taking Vit C 6 hours after you dose with HP(after the HP is excreted from the body). Also, if you take Iodine with HP this will convert it to Hydriodic Acid -- which has completely different properties to lugol's iodine.

That's why it's always best to take the HP on its own and separately.

However, you can take borax(1/4 teaspoon), sodium bicarbonate(1/4 teaspoon) and HP(10 - 15 drops or more) together in a liter of water per day -- this combination will act to alkalize your blood, help remove fluoride, balance your hormones, kill the bad microbes and help to oxygenate the tissues(more energy) more effectively. This mix becomes even more effective if you also add a 1/4 teaspoon sea salt which acts synergistically to aid absorbtion into the body. I use this mix when necessary. Also remember that borax should be taken for only 4 days out of every week."

05/15/2011: Elly from Topeka, Ny replies: "Thanks Bill for the wealth of info! I eat mini meals throughout the day so I started taking the Borax & H2O2 combo in the evenings to fight candida. I also add green tea for the tannic acid & sometimes magnesum & potassium to this combo too. Hope that's ok, if not please let me know. Thanks again to all the helpful people here!"

TED'S LIST

04/02/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand: "A few more:

1. A disodium EDTA is acid and needs to be neutralize with an alkaline, preferably both baking soda and potassium bicarbonate or potassium citrate.

2. A tetrasodium EDTA is an alkaline and doesn't need to neutralize the acidity, but is generally balanced with the addition of potassium bicarbonate or potassium citrate.

3. The use of sodium carbonate (washing soda) ALWAYS require the addition of potassium bicarbonate or potassium citrate, so that the sodium will be neutralize by the potassium. A baking soda can be added so that the sodium carbonate can reach less accessible parts of the body's extremities where acidity is high or where the body's metabolic activity is high, as in the brain so that it won't short out and prevent epileptic seizures by cooling down the brain activity.

4. When using any bicarbonates or any alkaline, you cannot use soda water or soda pop. The carbonated drinks will destroy much of the body's available bicarbonate by depletion very quickly. So a carbonated water cannot be used with most alkaline except in one instance: magnesium carbonate. The acidity of the soda water will react with magnesium carbonate to form magnesium bicarbonate, which makes the body able to utilize the magnesium better.

Do u giv advice on thyroid nodules? If so, I would like to know what can be done to get rid of nodules. I had a thermogram in place of biopsy. What is your opinion on reliability of thermogram? It measures heat. According to result, lack of heat indicates benign. Don't want to have them surgically removed. Have tried Synthroid, Levo, T3, & Armour. Felt terrible On Latter 2. Is iodine ok to take? Am hypo & suffer from Hashimotos. Pls email me. I take your advice seriously as I credit u w/saving my life when I was suffering from Severe acid reflux and your remedies cured.

03/30/2009: Shel from Eugene, OR: "I have gone through the website and made notes on all the "conditions" that apply to me. What I'm wondering, now, is how to know which remedies can be taken simultaneously or even combined. I've had this problem before when trying to deal with more than one issue at the same time. Perhaps an interaction database for all the recommended remedies could be compiled? A lot of work, I suppose, but I have long wished that such a thing existed or maybe it does and someone can put me on to it. Thanks"

04/01/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Shel:

Most combination of remedies is a major issue that I have dealt with in many private emails, but which family members do not want me to post on websites.

Hence, the lack of postings on this issue.

There are a couple of guidelines and I can build up these combination as we go along, here it is on top of my head:

1. A hydrogen peroxide cannot be combined with sodium thiosulfate. Both would neutralize each other, but they can be taken hours apart.

2. A hydrogen peroxide cannot be combined too frequently with ammonium chloride, or ammonium bicarbonate. It tends to cause headaches.

3. A malic acid needs always to be neutralized with baking soda or potassium bicarbonate.

4. Alkalizing remedies including, baking soda, sodium carbonate (washing soda) , potassium bicarbonate, tripotassium citrate (potassium citrate), trisodium citrate (sodium citrate), borax can be combined.

5. Hydrogen peroxide with any of the alkalizing remedy can be combined and is synergistic. I do this very often. A sea salt can be combined with hydrogen peroxide.

6. Blackstrap mollasses is considered neutral, and can be combined with any remedies mentioned in the above.

7. A fulvic acid mixture must always be combined with sodium thiosulfate and sea salt. Most important is that In a water solution before adding fulvic acid or humic acid, a sodium thiosulfate must be added. Sea salt in higher concentration often acts as a preservative, but a wrong kind of sea salt may cause fulvic acid to precipitate within hours, which may reflect wrong pH and may need adjustment to maintain the suspension.

8. Borax and hydrogen peroxide and any alkalizing remedy can be combined without problems.

9. Any acidity, such as lemon juice, vinegar, apple cider vinegar, citric acid I will neutralize the acidity to neutral pH of 7 before doing anything else so as not to reduce the bicarbonates in the body.

10. Most organics as in cayenne pepper, black strap mollasses, curcumin and most herbs in general don't react with each other as in food preparations.

11. Milk of magnesia, hydrogen peroxide and borax can be combined in any combination.

12. A sea salt with any alkalizing remedy is a powerful laxative but if laxative effect is not desired cannot be combined.

13. Niacin if taken, usually aspirin is taken 30 minutes or at least 15 minutes to avoid the flushing effect.

14. Milk, burned toast, egg whites, and charcoal in any combination will not work with antibiotics so cannot be taken together.

15. Milk, burned toast, egg whites, and charcoal in any combination will not work with vitamin supplements or mineral supplements. They block absorption.

17. A hydrogen peroxide therapy used cannot be combined with ammonium compounds in general. There are exceptions if the hydrogen peroxide added n water is of low concentration and is taken only once a day. That's use to kill the fungus and autoimmunity issues.

18. A person with across the board deficiencies, such as low iron, copper, and many other vitamins are often have low stomach acid. In which case hydrochloric acid drops 5-10 drops per one glass along with meals is taken, but alkalizing remedy is taken 1 to 2 hours apart, but is not taken or mixed at the same time. An alkalizing remedy is taken 1 hour or more before a hydrochloric acid. A hydrochloric acid remedy will increase nutritions into the body across the board and also help prevent gray hairs on many ocassions.

19. Additives hidden in supplements that tends to prevent them from working are often tricacium phoshpate and calcium carbonates. These tend to block supplements from absorbing in general especially mineral supplements, with possible exception of water soluble supplements such as vitamin C and vitamin B complex. I generally will try to buy bulk supplements without the fillers. Common fillers I try to avoid includes calcium, tricalcium phosphate and magnesium stearate, which is almost like wax. A powder form and liquid form of supplements are generally more effective.

20. A person who pH is very high and protein in urine is high, a peroxide remedy and alkalizing remedy is actually needed more. This is due to extreme acidity which causes the body's protein to breakdown into ammonia, which is a strong form of alkalzing.

21. People tend to forget the importance of sodium, potassium and magnesium and they can always be mixed with other alkalzing remedies as well as other remedies can also be mixed too. These are the body electrolytes.

22. A few people complain taking baking soda causes heart to beat faster and cannot be taken. However this is due to oversight in not mixing potassium and at least for me is a potassium deficiency and hence a potassium bicarbonate, or tripotassium citrate (potassium citrate) must be added.

23. A person who are on Hallelujah diets reports weakness and sickness, but this is due to lack of sodium in these diets and frequently a sea salt are added.

24. Common table salt is never used i n my remedies because they are very acid whose pH is 5. While the sea salt pH averages 7.5 and hence are often mixed with any remedies.

25. To improve absorption of any supplements, a small pinch of sea salt is always added in any supplements so it can have better bioavailability.


I am sure I forget to list many more, but these are just a few I can think of at the moment.

05/27/2009: Betty from Spearsville, LA replies: "Dear Ted,

I have read all of your postings I can. I am about to try H2O2 35% food grade to cure my lung problems. I received a diagnosis from a ct scan last year for atypical tb ,which by the way, is not contagious, but I feel like it is spreading. I have the info on how to dilute from 35% to 3% & from the 3% to 1% and from 3% to .5%. I need to know if I should inhale it with a pump sprayer or just injest it, if I have to build up to a certain level and at what pace. Should I combine it with anything else?

I read your info on boron. Amazing that it saved your life! I want to research this further. Maybe I need more of it. I do have osteoporosis for which I am taking strontium and am trying to alkalize. Thank You for all that you do to help. Maybe sometime we can help you.

God bless

But in the past I was constantly having lung problems and antibotics weren't working. A friend gave me some "Wild Oil of Oregano" I put it in a cheap inhaler I bought at the drugstore. Just add hot water a drop of oil and inhale. Since then I haven't gotten sick. You may also want to try this in addition to h202 but not at same time."
