MSM

05/09/2008: Joyce from Joyce Duke, Tn writes: "It is called MSM because its chemical name is methylsulfonylmethane. This is a first cousin of sulphur & is related to DMSO also. MSM is a natural substance found in the body, but apparently is another of those things that have declined in our super fertilized agriculture which has a habit of depleting our foods of many of those nutrients that used to be found in adequate amounts in our foods.You can google MSM or the chemical name & learn more about it. I have loved the results ever since I realized how effective it was. I got a number of people interested & they started taking it and found just as great as I told them it was. A lot of those had some post traumatic arthritis. My nephew was unable to get his hands above his head (fractured wrists years ago from motocycle accidents). He started taking it l0 or 15 years ago and still is. He's probably giving some to his horses & dog also. A coworker told me that her husband's back gave him less trouble after starting it. He had fractured his back in a car wreck several years before & was very painful after that. When The ladder I was did a backward flip 2 years, ER xrays said nothing broke, MRI done 2 days later said I had a slight impaction fracture of the distal femur, tibial plateau fracture, and totally unattached AC ligament in the left knee. With a hinged knee brace, a pair of crutches and the race horse dose of MSM daily, I breezed through recovery with only 2 Orudis kt (NSAID) pills for pain. Knee is painless unless I do something like I did approx. a year later. In preventing myself from falling with a big box of books in my arms, I had to do what I wasn't supposed to - I had to pivot on the left knee and without an ACL, you can't swivel or pivot on the injured knee. I think it was my hamstring muscle I got on that one - unfortunately MSM didn't help that much on that one. Other than not being able to pivot or swivel on that knee, the only other restriction I have is to continue to wear the knee brace when waling on uneven ground, so when I go hiking through the woods, I wear it and very thankful that I have it."

Also, does she drink it and apply to hair or just drink it. I have had hair loss since i had my second child and can't seem to find anything to help. I have had blood work done, seen numerous doctors, etc and now I'm resorting to some possible natural cures. Thank You, Amy."

MOLES

[WARNING!]  05/09/2008: Donna from Washington, DC writes: "I used the bloodroot salve almost three weeks ago. I only used a little bit on four small moles, probably the size of a pin head and covered the area with a bandaid. The next morning I had redenss and swelling under my eyes and scabs where the moles were. It looked like I was in a fight! I called the company and was very frustrated. The guy told me that the reaction was normal, and that it would heal. Within the next two days the scab came off of one which is healed, but light in color. On the left side of my face was the bigger mole. It was a little bigger than a pin head, but once the mole fell off the area was bigger.That area has also healed, but is white in color with some darkness around the circled area. Once again I contacted the company and the guy stated that the skin would repigment over time. The problem that I am experiencing now is on my left cheek where I removed three small moles. My excema has flared up, which is making my skin look terrible. I am trying to be patient with this process but it is very frustating. I would not advise using the cream on your face."

The stuff was awfull and left a dry residue on my tongue. It did nothing for the pain. So I started using coconut oil. 1 Tablespoon, melted in microwave in a plastic cup (if you use glass the oil explodes and covers the inside of your microwave). Leave to cool enough so you can hold it in your mouth for approx. 1 minute, then swallow. I did this 2x a day for 2 days and my mouthulcers where gone. Maddy, UK"

COUCH EXERCISE

05/09/2008: Gary from Mesa, AZ writes: "You would lie on the arm of sofa with your stomach. Legs on couch and head off. Use your arms like a pushup to help straighten your body. Your legs may want to raise up but you`ll have to secure them somehow.

In the exercise, I use my arms to help me straighten myself almost like a push up. Most people will not be able to do it without using their arms. I guess what's important is to use back muscles without straining them of course. Also, I just want to tell people with depression to go to a chiropractor,therapist or qualified trainer. This gets dismissed because they don't have back pain. Spend $30. It could be the answer. It's well worth it. Hope this helps."

WHITE VINEGAR, BORIC ACID, RUBBING ALCOHOL AND BETADINE

[YEA]  05/08/2008: Terese from Cedar Rapids, Iowa writes: "I have a cocker spaniel that ALWAYS gets ear infections after he sees the groomer. I always tell her, "Do not douse his ears because cockers have 45 degree ear canals." Any water gets in there you are screwed and magically you have an ear infection. We have used this for him each time he gets an ear infection after the groomer. Yes, we have changed groomers but I think they get comfortable after a while and stop listening to me. I have used this on stray cats we rescued when they had ear mites, and they were gone after one good dousing. Of course we had to hold them down and they hissed and moaned. We do this to our dog about once a week to prevent the infections. We have to do it every day twice a day for a week after the groomer. This has saved us hundreds of dollars and several visits to the vet. My husband had a horrible ear infection and because of our horrible health insurance here in the US-we had to wait until the morning to go in. I put it in his ear... I told him, "If it works on Romper, WHY wouldn't it work on you?". He was very reluctant, but agreed if anything would take the pain away. The next morning he never went in to the doctor. Fever was gone, no more ear pain either. Amazing stuff."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA

05/08/2008: AC from White Plains, NY writes: "I've just stumbled onto this website tonight and I am grateful. I have been trying to get rid of an embarrassing armpit odor for a while and refuse to go back to the deadly over-the-counter deodorants. I have tried burts bees deodorant, which didn't work well for me after a while and made me smell strongly of lemon and mint... I've tried the baking soda but it irritated me so much, after a while that I would have 60-90 second scratch fests. (I know not good). I've discovered that whenever I eat red meat the smell is prominent. When I eat fish or chicken not as bad... I've even taken body mint which worked for a week, but now I'm getting desperate. I love meat too much to stop eating it. So, next I will try the borax and tea tree oil because I've noticed that once I wipe the sweat away, the odor seems to go away as well, even temporarily - So, I think that tea tree oil will kill the bacteria causing the problem, hopefully all day long."

VETERINARIAN WARNING

[NAY]  05/08/2008: Eisha from Austin, TX writes: "I completely disagree with this "professional" veternarian's opionion. All of the commercial recommendations he lists are not going to completely get rid of the issue and will most likely cause further problems in the future with your pet. I have a 14 year old cat whom I've had since she was a kitten. She has been sick with everything under the sun. I have used EVERY commercial treatment recommended by most vets as well as vet sites but nothing seems to fix or get rid of the problem unless it's a temporary fix. Recently I've done research on animal vaccines, food and other treatments and found many problems with it all. I switched my cats food to an all natural food (Innova) 9 months ago and her skin irritation (which caused her to rip out handfuls of hair) and weight problem came to a sudden halt. She started losing weight, became more playful and stopped ripping her hair out. Recently she acquired a severe ear infection; I've used hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar and colloidal silver and it has cleared up amazingly. This Dr. Krasnansky is unable to open his mind to see there ARE other options for pet healthcare other than over the counter RX drugs. Sorry Doc, you're not fooling anyone but yourself."

TURMERIC READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  05/08/2008: Kristi from Cleburne, Texas writes: "Tumeric, Hydrogen Peroxide I found the Earth Clinic site by typing in "natural treatments for skin infection" on the internet. I always broke out in the same areas: under my jawline, back to my ears. I even had pain in that area almost like something was clogged and burning. I had tried two rounds of antibiotics in the past few months and they did not work, but the Tumeric did. Read all the information about boils and Tumeric. Since the outbreaks were painful, I thought it must be something like mini boils. I happen to have some Tumeric capsules in my kitchen so I began taking two pills, 3x a day for five days. My skin immediately cleared up and scars are healing. I continue to either take a capsule every day or sprinkle about t. on some food. It's best with salty foods. I have found that if I stop for more than 2 days, I have some pain in the area like I might break out again.

After that, I read about H202. I also have had chronic sinus problems since I was a child. I always remembered having problems breathing when I laid down at night. Recently, though, I had such a hard time breathing at night that I didn't want to go to sleep. I was stuffy, not stopped up. I just could not get anything out of my nose. I know that I was snoring which made my face and teeth hurt and was not sleeping well. So I started "snorting" the peroxide (just the cheap stuff from the store with no stabilizers). I would put it on a swab and rubbed it up inside my nose. I would then sniff it up into my sinuses. Within seconds I could breathe. It has been a miracle cure for me. I did this about 3x a day %: morning, at night before bed and during the night if needed. I now only have to do it once or twice a week. After that I decided to start drinking a little. I put maybe 1 t. or less into 8 oz. of water and drink it 1-2x per day or when I need it. I did not know how much I missed oxygen through my nose!

The best thing is that my husband who has had asthma since childhood, started taking the H202 in water 2x per day. He was extremely dependent on medication to control asthma, but wanted to get off it. He has taken the peroxide in water for almost 3 weeks and has only needed his albuterol inhaler 1x. We are pretty excited about that! Thanks for all the good info."

ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT

[YEA]  05/08/2008: Lindsey from Detroit, Michigan writes: "I sort of figured this one out on my own awhile ago, but it's nice to know I wasn't being weird by using it. I've used Neosporin (or some other such product) to treat my break-outs for the past few months and it's worked wonders. I never really suffered from acne as a teen, nor are my break-outs widespread, but the few that I do get at a time still make me stress out and feel a little insecure. My skin is also prone to scarring, so every time I got one, I would have a double stressor, "Oh great, even if it goes away I may still have a scar!" Since acne is pretty much a bacterial infection, I figured "Why not try some Neosporin!" It worked the first time, and it's worked every time. The ointment kills the bacteria, reduces the swelling and redness, prevents them from hurting (mine are usually around where my glasses rub), and also helps reduce scarring. Why not try it! People that say the bacteria will develope a resistence to it are only half-right. Yes, if you use it everyday over your entire face, it will eventually stop working. But if you only get a few sports every so often, why not use something quick and easy that most everyone has in the house?! If you are still worried about making super-bacterias on your face, just do what I do: apply it twice a day (morning and night) until the spot is COMPLETELY gone (should take about 2-3 days tops). Again, I wouldn't recommend this treatment for people that have severe acne, but for "on the spot" cures, it work wonders."

PRESSURE

[YEA]  05/08/2008: Terry from Port Gibson, MS writes: "I got my first keloid at the age of 13. I thought it was a pimple and "popped" it. It grew larger. I had it removed and then it came back and I got new keloids from where the stitches were placed. I endured years of painful steriod injections because it kept growing. My dermotologist told me that once I got old and lost elasticity of the skin, it would stop growing and go away. I'm 43 and it's gone. I still develop keloids though not as bad. One piece of advice I can give is that pressure does help reduce the growth of keloids. I had major back surgery at 15. I had to wear a body cast for 6 months. The only place I developed a keloid was about a half inch at the top where the cast did not meet the skin. Also, my OB-GYN said, after my second c-section that I scarred as badly inside as I did outside. He had to cut very deeply and wide to get the keloid out of his way to deliver my daughter. I worry about my children having this problem. Does anyone know if this is an inherited condition? Thanks you."

MYRRH GARGLE

[YEA]  05/08/2008: Sam from Albany, NY writes: "Whenever I have a sore throat, even if it's just because I slept with my mouth open, I gargle with myrrh. We always have tincture of myrrh around the house, since it's useful for many, many things. Here's how I do it: I take a plastic cup (3oz.) and put as much tincture in it as I think I can stand. Then I dilute it a bit with some warm water, and gargle, repeating until everything in the cup is gone. Then, I rinse *just* my mouth, NOT my throat, with regular water. This leaves a bit of an aftertaste and you might produce excess saliva for a couple of minutes, but it helps quite a bit with the pain and can also help kill whatever infection might be causing the sore throat."

NJ'S REMEDIES

[YEA]  05/08/2008: NJ from New Delhi, India writes: "Remedies for Hair Growth:

1. Mix as per your hair length, castor oil, olive oil and coconut oil in equal measures. Warm and massage on to your scalp. This will arrest hair fall and promote hair growth.

2. Soak methi (fenugreek) seeds and curry leaves in coconut oil, overnight. Next morning warm it a little and massage it on to your scalp. The massage should be gentle, yet it should leave your scalp tingling. Rinse off with a herbal shampoo. Alternatively you could rinse it with the juice of crushed red hibiscus leaves.

Follow this regularly for best results. It will keep your scalp healthy and prevent hair fall.

3. If you can tolerate the smell of mustard oil here's a remedy. Boil mustard oil and while it is boiling, keep adding fresh henna, basil and curry leaves to it. After the leaves are burnt black, switch off the gas. Cool, strain and use twice to thrice a week for best results."

MSM

05/08/2008: Bret (patientadvocate2@yahoo.com) from Phoenix, Arizona writes: "Have you noticed many of these home remedies are used for different diseases. What would you say if I told you they all contain the exact same active ingredient. (oxygen) and that most of the disease talked about, hate oxygen. Even snoring is an act of fighting oxygen deprivation. Polyphenols of A.C.V., Tumeric, Cinnamin, all contain many donor sites containing oxygen, (after they donate hydrogen to free radicals) Hydrogen Peroxide, is a long standing oxygen therapy first used in cancer. MSM- Acts as oxygen pump. Chronicalled and documented by Dr. David Gregg, biochemist. Did you know the cheapest way to get MSM is to buy DMSO. One tenth of the cost of MSM. DMSO breaks down to MSM and oxygen depleted sulfate molecule. These two donate oxygen back and forth acting like an oxygen pump. If autoimmune is a virus, this would mean it hates oxygen too. bret"

[WARNING!]  05/08/2008: Carol from La Verne, CA writes: "I've been a fan of Earth Clinics remedies for a long time. Had success with oil pulling, leaching out fluoride, ACV with baking soda, but one remedy I have to warn against is the oxygen therapy for cancer. I have breast cancer and tried the HBOT (oxygen tank). It was $6,000 for 40 sessions. At the end of these sessions my tumor grew from a large grape size to a large grapefruit size. In addition I tried soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide and taking Bill's spray. This irritated the tumor and sprouted another tumor in my lymph node area under my arm. Later from a doctor I found out that that a lot of cancer patients using external remedied applied cause the tumors to grow out of the skin and cause other more serious problems. So I just want to warn those of you with cancer to be weary."

MSM

05/08/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn writes: "Hi, I'm not the one you wanted to hear from, but I have been singing the praises of MSM for l0-15 years now. After reading about a break through in joint pain in The Journal of Longevity and that it had been being used on race & walking horses for years before two doctors started giving it to their patients with joint pain. These two doctors have written a book about MSM and what it does. It's available in paper back @ probably can be founnd in any book store. Looking at the value of these animals and realizing it wasn't likely to harm me, I went to the farmer's Cp-OP and sure enough I found it there. Buying the one I figured most safely packaged, and stating that it 99.9% methysulfonealmethane, I took a 2 lb. container home with me for personal consumption even though it only gave dosage for horses. The article that got me started on it, also stated that the doctor who first started giving it to his patients had been taking a racehorse dose for years and at the age of 75, still had a head full of thick, dark hair, still teaching surgery and going strong. Figuring if he had been doing this for a long time to satisfy himself that larger does weren't likely to be harmful, I too started taking the race horse dosage of l full scoop a day. I really couldn't tell any difference, until one night it was raining and suddenly it dawned that my right hip that whichrnwas my worst problem (after a car wreck) wasn't hurting at all. Up until I started taking the MSM, it almost caused me to fallrnwhen it rained because the pain felt like someone had hit me right on the greater trochanter with a sledge hammer. I also found that it helped with my allergies. Everyone that I got started taking it loved it because they got the same results, without rnany reactions or unwanted side effects.

The only person I know of having a problem is someone who wrote into EC saying they had a bad reaction.

That first 2 lbs. cost me $56. Since they couldn't get the same one I had bought before, I got the toll free number off the container and called it asking if they were just wholesale, of if they sold to the general public also? The fellow rnasked me what I needed and I told him MSM. He started laughing and asked if this was for me or my horse. I laughed as I replied, "For me, of course". Well I kept ordering for myself and others I had got started rnon it. About a year later it started arriving in the same container, with the same rnMSM, but with a label giving only the dosage for the human being. One fellow that started taking it, injured his rt. knee when he fell off a ladder at work, was out of work over l year because somehow the bone didn't get set right. Instead of going back to work when it came out of the cast, he went to surgery where they rebroke the bone and reset it. He loved the way it worked so well that when I told him I was fixing to reorder and asked if he wanted to be included, hernsaid, "Yes. Order two for me and three more. I'm going to give them for Xmas gifts".

Hope this information is helpful. In closing I will tell you that where I am now, I am buying 2 l/2 lb containers @ the Co-op for little more than half of what I paid for it before for the 2 lb container."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR SIDE EFFECTS

05/08/2008: Joyce from Joelton,, Tn writes: "The ACV won't hurt your little doggie, but it might heal faster if you make a saturated solution of Epsom salts in apple cider vinegar. To make saturated solution start wotj 4 ounces and add Epsom salts by the 1/2 teaspoonful until no more will dissolve in the ACV. This will not hurt your doggie and the only unwanted side effect you are likely to get is a little diarrhea if he licks too much of the Epsom salts. I used the same stuff on my daughter(about age 6) when she developed deep lesions that certainly resembled what I had seen on a dog (owner told me it was hot spots). The poor thing had them all over her body and I certainly didn't want my daughter to get that bad. She only had 4 or 5 at the back of her head about an inch above the hair line. I swabbed them out 4 times a day with this and it started improving the second day of use and was healed over in a few days."

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

05/08/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn writes: "I love this one. I have been convinced that I snore because I have awakened from sleep thinking that I had somehow acquired a growling dog in my bedroom, and scared to death until I figured out that me and my snoring was that vicious dog, since it always stopped as soon as I woke up. I must warn you, if this works for other snorers, the ENT guys and maybe a few other surgeons, are going to hate you because you definitely will decrease their "job security", by decreasing their patient load for surgery to get rid of the problem."

CAYENNE PEPPER

[MAYBE]  05/07/2008: Katie from Royal Oak, MI writes: "I left my albuterol inhanler at work today so I was desperate for something. I have sinusitus that is currently turning into bronchitis and fortunatly, my asthma only is bad when I am sick. I just did the cayenne pepper treatment and so far I have noticed that the burning from the bronchitis has subsided and my breathing has cleared somewhat. Hopefully it will continue to improve. I think I am going to buy some Apple Cider Vinegar tomorrow to have on hand due to the strong positive reviews."

CASTOR OIL

[YEA]  05/07/2008: Valerie from Minneapolis, MN writes: "Castor oil cured a tumor on my dog. My dog had a tumor on his chest, about as big as a nickel and raised about an eighth of an inch. It was progressively getting larger and since it was on his chest was getting rubbed a lot from laying down. The result was a big, dry, cracked and oozing tumor- disgusting!! I read about the castor oil cure for tumors on pets and tried it. Twice a day I applied castor oil to the tumor and covered it with a band aid. Within one week the tumor was completely gone!! all that there is now is soft pink skin- Hooray!! I probably saved a few hundred bucks."

VACCINATION READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  05/07/2008: Lisa from San Antonio, Texas writes: "Both of my 5 month old germ. shep/chow puppies were spayed and vaccinated on Monday. I told the vets office no shots. The receptionist insisted that was the best thing because they had 6 cases of parvo the week prior. I agreed. Today (wednesday) One of our sweet gentle pups had to be taken in this morning for infection(?) and dehydration. She hasn't eaten since Sunday eveniing,drinking very little. She seems very disoriented. The other pup has been just fine. Vaccines???"
