03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Tyler,

Re the brain fog and other symptoms;

You ask if the mono could have had anything to do with the condition...Absolutely yes.

Quite coincidentally I just posted to a "David" about his condition and yours is even more clearly associated...that is a very serious infection and then follow up problems.

The "hand tremors" symptom is ominous and demonstrates that likely the infection is thoroughly established in the nervous system.

IF this were me... I'd make sure the doctors were alerted to this possibility and see if they have any meds that could be used to treat nervous system infection. My belief is they will likely not have a solution although there are many anti-virals available.

If me, and the regular MDs did not have a solution, then I'd consider using large doses of high PPM Colloidal Silver. If the condition has in fact gone into the nervous system then I know, given the symptoms and the prior mono, that I might be facing "viral meningitis." Ask your doctors about that possibility. Again, if they have no solution then if this were me, I'd use a protocol that has the capacity of moving an anti-viral into the nervous system.

There is a technique to doing this; quite simple, and I don't mean to overwhelm you but I know with the symptoms you are exhibiting the situation is most serious. If you wish to further discuss, if you will contact Earth Clinic we can converse via Email."

If you're unable to use milk products then a pro-biotic is a more expensive way to go. also check DHA, and a omega 3. Hope this helps"

I was going to a traditional med doctor and even though my TSH test results were normal and I have goiter and thyroid nodules I was told nothing was wrong with my thyroid. My symptoms alone were signs of both hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's.

I'm now taking both iodine and thyroid glandulars and already seen some improvement with basil body temperature which is used to check thyroid function at home. Get yourself to a holistic doctor because traditional medicine doctors WILL NOT give you the right results. Thanks & God Bless!"

10/11/2010: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand: "Dear S. Chemotherapy and conventional cancer treatment are between 2 to 4% successful in treatment of cancer, while this number is much larger when treated with alternative natural methods, usually by a factor of 5 to 10. The treatment time to get improvement in alternative is also much faster, usually between 3 days to maximum of two weeks. The second thing you need to know is a blood sugar below 90 mg/dL is close to 97% if they are equal or below this level. Most standard blood sugar considered "normal" is 100 to 110 mg/dL. Unfortunately this is not really standard, They keep increasing the numbers, as more people are diabetic and obese. Hence standards are naturally "lifted". A long time ago, a good blood sugar is 80 to 90 mg/dL. Therefore I used this figure. The other thing is doctors use a 12 hour blood glucose fasting. I don't. I use it to test blood sugar averages, hence is taken after meals 1 hour. This is because cancer tend to metastasizes NOTICEABLY AFTER 2 hour eating something, with high sugar intake such as bananas, yogurt (the one's with the sugar), coconut milk, etc.
If she has difficulty eating vegetables, there is vegetable juice, made from broccolli (they block estrogen that promotes cancer), cabbages, carrot, onion and green apples, being my favorite. It is freshly prepared for the juices and taken throughout the day.

As for benzaldehyde with cyclodextrin, it is a 70% cyclodextrin mix with benzaldehyde, or a 50/50 mix, where we use 1/16 teaspoon which is roughly 1 drops equivalent and taken with meals throughout the day. I wouldn't worry about the beta cyclodextrin, for all practical purposes. The active component is the benzaldehyde, the other parts simply helps assimilate and helps reduce some irritation with the use of benzaldehyde, which is found in almonds and apricot anyway.

I told her if I were her I would cut out sugar and do a low carb diet, but I’m not sure what she should eat with the colitis as she has problems with vegetables.

A low carb and low protein diet is the main focus here, so we can use vegetable juice, apples, carrots, onions, for example instead. Vegetable issues maybe from the fibers and hard to eat, so a juice is prepared. At least initially. It's most important to add potassium citrate small amounts to displace sodium in cancer cells, as well as addition of malic acid (in apples, or pure malic acid). The amount is only 1/8 teaspoon once or twice a day. it is essential that lysine amino acid and glutamine amino acid is added, at 1/2 teaspoon powder at least taken 3 times a day, ideally 4 to 5 times a day, if need be. This increases immune system against cancer and tends to double the white blood cell count.

As for tannic acid, sorbitol alone would do fine. There is something easier then benzaldehyde if their taste are too strong, such as d limonene or orange peel or or lemon peel oil, which is actually d limonene and has some anticancer properties. It is most important for a person who has thyroid remove and most cancer IV (to take thyroid supplements and lugol's solution 1/4 strength at least 1 to 2 drops once for twice a day. It is also important that digestive enzymes, no calcium is taken with meals three times a day and plus one more before sleep. It will digest the cance cells. Absolutely no calcium supplements is used.

There is a lot of disinformation on cancer lately, one was to promote the use of peppers, which unfortunately tends to worsen the condition. You can't use this. They actually make books that covers curing cancer just by reducing stress only. The focus are too narrow and don't work. A holistic approach is vital. Potassium is needed, especially those which supports the Kreb's cycle, as in potassium acetate, malate, citrate kinds. These "switches" from glycolysis to aerobic. I am increasingly using more malates. A potassium malte is prepared with a reaction of potassium carbonate with a malic acid. This reduces cellular hypoxia, and then it switches to non glycolysis. A gluconate form of potassium is an "oxidized" glucose form, which is seen as a waste product by cancer and hence is not use, and can be safely added in the form of potassium gluconate or magnesium gluconate also. THe gluconate blocks the cancer glycolysis, a fermentative processes.

Most important of all in cancer remedy (at least Ted's remedy) is to measure blood sugar levels with some electronic devices that measures that, at least at below normal blood sugar level as in 100 to 105, but I prefer 90 mg/dL, as this one is better studied, at having 97% survivability. Hence sugar in foods, at least glucose, can be added, if need be at below 2% in a water, to help energy after a detox, vomiting, or diarrhea. Magnesium chloride is what I used to encourage a diarrhea or laxative effect in place of the more popular but difficult to use coffee enemas, which averages about 20 drops three times a day. If weakness after diarrhea or bowel movement is quite possible to add glucose, one level teaspoon per 250 cc of water, and drink only 1/3 of it, then wait perhaps 30 minuts and drink another 1/3 of that, to give energy. But at low concentration, of below or equal 2% it gives too little opportunity to feed cancer and not drink the entire contents at one time and taken gradually only to help if weakness is seen after a diarrhea, I believe this is the safest way to consume them, for the time being.

Thank you yours kindly, Susan."

03/31/2014: Pebble from Atlanta, Ga: "Hi, my mom has been diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer. Years ago she had her thyroid removed, although being very active and thin until her 50s, after the thyroid issues she couldn't lose weight. She is 69. The doctors recommend radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy. I would very much appreciate if you could suggest supplements. Thanks,"

03/31/2014: Mike62 from Denver, CO: "Pebble: For the thyroid she can try desiccated porcine thyroid glandular. Many people have recovered from everything under the twinkling stars going raw paleo. She can eat raw grass fed hamburger, raw pastured eggs, desiccated liver, colostrum, and non denatured whey. Paleo requires low carbs. This can be explained by cellular biologists. For vegetable she can take barley grass juice powder. Supplements she can take are skate liver oil, unrefined sea salt, and CBD oil. Take 1/2ml every 10 days from 1oz bottle cherry flavored 1500mg CBD oil. This company makes theirs from the flowers of organically grown Canadian hemp."

04/09/2012: Carrie B from Williams Lake, Bc, Canada: "I only started with 1tsp of coconut oil and it absolutely DID cause me to have a rapid heart beat later in the evening. I tried 2 days in a row and the same thing happened. I have no heart problems and my blood pressure is 110/70 on average. I also do not have high cholesterol problems. I do, however, have hypothyroidism which is why I wanted to try the virgin coconut oil. There was no other thing I changed that would account for the heart palpitations. It was unsettling."

03/31/2014: David from Corcicana Tx: "How do u know if u have it what are symptoms for this? I get really tired and its not my heart. I checked my head. They have done millions of tests, everything gets back to normal. I get dizzy really nervous and sleepy"

03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello David from Corsicana, Tx

Re your heart palpations...

When did the problem begin?...You mention a number of problems that might be associated...dizzy, nervous, sleepy and tired.

I'm always suspecting a virus lurking around causing all kinds of problems. And David, especially, I look for a TIME prior to the onset of the symptoms when one might have fought off a really bad infection like mono or strep etc.

Just checking...think back to the onset; did you have a bad infection prior to symptoms...think back six months to a year or so...a really bad infection like I named above. If so, then we need to discuss how to get rid of the probable causative agent...an infection of some kind. Now just because you can't recall one doesn't necessarily mean that no infection is involved but so often I discover a "smoking gun" in the form of a bad infection. Post again if you suspect a possible lingering infection, and I'd describe what I do to knock out such infections.

Hoping you get better...keep searching because there IS a solution!!!"

08/05/2009: Bill from Oregon City, Oregon: "I have had stomach issues since childhood. Last year I got to where I had acid reflux daily, so bad I could not sleep lying down. Then a few months a go it changed. My food was slow to digest and I felt like I had some sort of virus. I could only eat cereal and yogurt. It got to the point to where I could not eat without getting major cramps. I went to the doctor. After X-rays and blood test (all my test were clean) he prescribed Prilosec and Reglan. I tried them for a week and had some relief, but was not getting better. I was up one night or early morning, searching the net for any information. I found earthclinic and started my ACV and cayenne regiment (I did not have Glutamine at the time). After my first drink I could tell a difference. After 4 days, I was able to eat and sleep better. That weekend I purchased Glutamine and have been doing the ACV and cayenne drink with the glutamine capsule 3 times a day for a week. I feel normal most of the time, eat regular and sleep much better. I intend to stay on the regiment until I have fully recovered and cut back to once a day to stay that way. I have another doctors appointment in a week. From my research I believe I have a bacterial infection or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). I intend on asking for the breath test to know for sure."

08/10/2009: Ingrid from Geneva, Oh: "Will the ACV work for dogs too? I was actually giving her ACV when she got the ulcer and thought that I had caused it by giving her that. I was thinking it was too acidic for her. Now I'm wondering if I should put her back on it."

09/21/2010: Garcia2894 from Norwalk, Ct, Usa: "Can somebody please answer my question.... How do I take the cayenne and the glutamine capsules do I take then all at the same time with the ACV. Thank you"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  08/15/2011: Rooster from Fernandina, Florida: "This is Rooster from Fla. I have been battling ulcers for 10 months. 5 days ago I started the cayenne pepper and glutamine 500mg of both 3 times a day before meals 5 days and the result is incredible. Still having a few aches and pains after meals and first thing in the morning, but no more blood and vomit and laying in the bed with pain. What a great web site I am so much better thanks to Ya'll gracious, Rooster"

05/09/2013: Roy from Baguio, Philippines: "Hi, I'm just 20 but I have ulcer.

In short, the prefered actual remedy is eating foods with lots of carbohydrates and fats like flour based foods (breads, cakes and cookies)?"

05/09/2013: Melting from Lindside, Wv: "Wow, I had 4 ulcers 3 years ago. One bleeding in the esophagus. Went straight to gastro. Did the upper scope to diagnose me. Sent me home with double the prilosec pill prescription. Looked over the internet, probably found it here. Juice your raw cabbage. I bought a juicer. Juiced about 10 ounces each morning. Drank that in 3 portions, 3 times a day on an empty stomach. Not tasty by any means. I did that for 2 weeks and then off and on a few days at a time for 3 months. Went back to gastro and he said the stomach looked new. He said the meds did work well for you. I said they went in the trash, raw cabbage juice. He grinned and said see ya later. I think people on this website says it healed them in 10 days. God bless you."

05/10/2013: Timh from Louisville, Ky, USA: "Melting: I am no big fan of pharmaceuticals or doctors, but I take as much advantage I can from what they have to offer. Of course they want me taking many prescriptions meds, and not let my health improve by treating only my symptoms. It's really like Paul McCartney described in the song Tug-Of-War.

Rule-of-thumb to maintain friendly relations in the medical community is "try and meet them halfway". Give them the benefit they deserve. In your case I would have done the acid reducers for a few weeks then on to the cabbage cure. In returning to the dr say "the acid reducers pills worked real well and I read about eating cabbage and that was the icing on the cake. "

Remember, dr's have the legal clout. Acid reducing pharmaceuticals heal gastric or esophageal ulcers, cabbage does not (as according to scientific demonstration by studies and trials and approved by the FDA)."

05/16/2013: Dee from Nyc, Ny: "I have a question, I'm afraid to take cayenne pills or ACV if I have both an ulcer and severe acid reflux. I thought spicy foods are really bad for acid reflux and ulcers. Someone please explain. I'm so afraid to make my stomach worse. Thank You."

05/16/2013: Mama To Many from Middle, Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Dee, I used ACV for acid reflux during pregnancy and I agree, it didn't make sense that it would help, but it was amazing how much it helped. (Prveviously, I had been on prescription meds for reflux. I didn't even need Tums the whole pregnancy I took the ACV. ) It also helped my gall bladder problem. You could start with a small amount 1/2 t. or 1 t. in an 8 oz glass of water and sip it and see how you do.

If you take the cayenne, you could take it with something like ginger. Don't get something with tons of Heat Units. (90HU would be too strong.) Again, start out small. Even just a few grains in juice. And it is better for digestion to let you mouth get used to it before it gets to the stomach. (Stomach's don't like surprises! ) Apparently, when cayenne or chili powder etc. Are heated and cooked that is when they cause trouble. Work up to 1/4 t. cayenne in juice. In Lalitha Thomas' book, Ten Essential Herbs, she tells about a man who had bleeding ulcers that were healed with cayenne. You should be able to tolerate more and more.

Slippery Elm is also wonderful for digestive trouble and so very gentle and highly nutritous. You can mix a teaspoon of it with warm water, like porridge, and a little honey if you like. It is kind of slimy, so if textures bother you it might not work well. Hope you get some relief soon!"

05/17/2013: Gina from Ipswich, Queensland, Australia: "Hi, So I'm up trying to get ready for work and My Ulcers are playing up. I have had these for years. But the last 6 months or so, they have been unbareable, so much so I just can't make it too work. My Hubby, was searching through sites to see if he could find anything to help as the meds that I have from My Dr are just not working.

So this morning he was off to buy the ACV, Cayenne Tablets and Glutamine tabs- I had my first dose this morning and another around 30 mins ago. I do wish I had emptied my stomuch of that bloating yucky feeling that we all know well, as this may have helped it kick in faster? ANYWAY, I really hope this works! It has far too much affect on my life, can barely work, I don't want to do anything, I use to be such a get up and go type of energitic person, but now, All I do is stick to my bed, most times curled up in a ball."

05/18/2013: Mt from Ottawa, Ontario Canada: "Are you talking about stomach ulcer?

The juice from fresh cabbage will heal your ulcer - I think is killing also the Helicobacter Pylori bacteria. There is at least one post on Earthclinic about how to take the juice.

Manuka honey (factor 16 ) is also good to clear the bacterial infection and heal the ulcer. You have to think of the honey as an antibiotic. Take one tsp every 2 hours (morning to night) for two weeks at least. After that reduce the quantity to one tsp, three times a day for a couple of weeks.

Your medication not working could be because you have stomach cancer. If that is the case start drinking 1. 5 to 2 liters/ day of a infusion made from equal parts of Stinging Nettle and Calendula (small sips spread throughout the day). Use one heaped tsp from each plant for 1/4 liter, infuse the plants for 3 to 4 minutes."

05/19/2013: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa: "Gina: Someone reported excellent results from drinking raw Cabbage juice. From my understanding, the phytochemicals in Cabbage both kill ulcer causing bacteria like h pylori, and promote healing of epithelial tissues.

If no parasites or pathogens are present, the combination of DGL and Allantoin will quickly heal the intestinal tract. Glucosamine Sulfate is another good healer. The amino acid Glycine may prove as effective for healing as Glutamine (Glutamine fuels immune cells located in the intestines which results in indirect healing)."

05/24/2013: Gina from Ipswich, Australia: "Hey everyone! So it has been a week since I began taking the Glutamine and Cayenne tablets, while drinking the ACV. I must say that, trying to cut corners and not using the raw cabbage juice STRAIGHT away(instead of replacing them with the Glutamine Tabs) was a mistake!! I began the Raw Cab juice 3 days later and OMG the improvement in myself and my stomach is AMAZING. I have been doing the whole regime now since Tues or Weds-This includes around 4 cups of Cab Juice daily, 6 Glutamine per day & 4 Cayenne per day-I found the ACV a bit too strong, so discontinued that for now, but I have tablets now instead ) From the start date though, I haven't HAD to vomit AT ALL. Although, I still feel seriously bloated if I eat a little too much and have made myself vomit, it is NOTHING like it has been for the last long time. I get sometimes sharp stomach pain, but usually now, not so sharp and much less than before. I am so happy to report this back to you all and I thank you ALL for the imput you have put into this site. ANYONE, with those nasty Ulcers, no matter how you got them. TRY THE RAW CABBAGE JUICE ASAP, I bought a new decent sized juicer which was an awesome investment. YES, I still have a ways to go, but I know by this time next week, continuing what I am taking of course, that my life WILL begin again - Although, it is feeling alot better now as it is, For me, thanks to the great advice My Future isn't so grim anymore and counting on what the Dr CAN'T seem to fix is no longer scaring the heck out of me. I do apologise if this doesn't make sense, but I just had to give someone :) an update."

05/25/2013: Tamara from Fort Collins, Colorado, Usa: "Hey Gina, I'm doing a similar protocol to yours with my boyfriend. He has lots of ulcers, so we're going on 2 months of treatment, but we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Before he could only eat like a bird- very small amounts before he got full, and now he can actually eat normally. I think what really helped was 2 weeks ago he started drinking a ton of kefir, like one store bought bottle every 2-3 days (we buy it on clearance but it would obviously be cheaper homemade), and adding a lot more digestive enzymes. We already did betaine and pepsin, so I added "super enzymes" to our mealtimes. He does the glutamine, cayenne, cabbage juice, and aloe juice as well. Hope this helps you on your journey!"

08/02/2013: Chem Nerd from Northwoods, Mn: "Just a little FYI - when an acid (vinegar) and a base (baking soda) are combined they produce water as a byproduct and are neutral. Taking the vinegar and baking soda in this situation would not have helped with the stomach ulcer. Look to the other aspects of the "treatment" as potential "cures" for the ulcer."

09/07/2013: Hayley from Ireland: "I am 21 and I got serious stomach pains back 7 months ago I was diagnosed with a hiectius hernia eight years ago but all the doctors won't help me keep giving me medication for inflamed stomach and ulcers I have tried holistic therapy, Chinese therapy, anti biotics and nothing works. Please help. I can't take any more pain I am in pain all the time and I can't even eat!!! Does this work?"

03/31/2014: Fotophrek from Woodbury, NJ: "The best rule-of-thumb is to be more interested in your health and well being than maintaining friendly relations with a doctor. Remember, you are responsible for your health, and your relationship with your doctor is a business one; if it’s a friendly one all the better, but it’s not a requirement. You are not obligated to meet anyone halfway (if you have doubts) when your health is at stake, that’s just massaging their ego at your expense. We should all seek out medical opinions when we deem it necessary, and take it into account. However, remember, there is a reason medicine is called a practice, and what doctors tell you is their opinion (that’s why people often get more than one)."

11/02/2009: Carolyn from Hobbs, Nm, Usa: "Response to Bee from usa. Bee, kefir will make your stomach worse. I know. I tried it for months and continually got worse. I would suggest you stay off everything for a few days and then try the ACV again with honey. It has worked miracles for me. It wasn't easy taking it at first but I stayed with it. Now I am so much better. I've been on it 3 months now. It is the only thing that has ever helped me. I used to take Prevacid and Nexium and now I am down to 1 small Zantac a day. Good luck. Carolyn"

11/03/2009: Bee from Usa: "Hmmm..I wondered if dairy products may not be best. I have to avoid dairy or I get digestive issues- kefir doesn't bother me though. But I really wanted to use kefir since it has soo many great benefits. As for the ACV I actually don't mind the taste so taking it is okay. As for honey- I would even enjoy it that way- but I'd like to reduce sugar in my diet. I still wonder if I have an ulcer since I have symptoms of it- but when I went to the doctor they said my stomach was probably just irritated- and lay off irritating foods such as coffee. I know which of these foods make it worse- cuz I can feel it almost instantly. I think it may be that I need a much more drastic diet change tho- mine is definitely not the best. I eat healthy food- but too much other bad/junk food. Thank you for your feedback!"

11/10/2009: Scotch from Erie, Pa, Usa: "if you feel you have an ulcer, i recommend trying raw manuka honey. it cured my severe stomach pain. take 1-2 tsp on dry bread or crackers before each meal and at bedtime till your stomach feels normal. now i just take some in the morning--it tastes good too. it is rather expensive--around $20 for 12 oz but it is well worth it."

03/31/2014: Gordon from Syracuse, Ny: "I want to try the ACV/baking soda remedy for GERD but I'm currently taking Prilosec 20mg, which I want to stop taking altogether because of the bad side effects. Is it okay to take ACV/baking soda while taking Prilosec, or should I ween myself of Prilosec first?"

I have a similar hip issue; mine is related to pelvis shift problem. I have some scoliosis and the lower back is turned a bit and also the pelvis. So my problem is skeletal basically. My right leg, back side of leg above knee, if I've been driving in my car for a while starts aching, something like a cramp but not a cramping; just aching...like it needs stretching. Well, that's what helps. I do a lot of "karate" styled stretching. The more I do, the less the problem manifests itself.

Don't mean to say this is your problem; I'm just playing off your issue for anyone out there who might have similar issues...to add to the index of possibilities.

By the way, I love how you list the nutritional items in your post and then describe what that nutrient does. Your posts are always so informative."

03/31/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Dave...I always appreciate comments and new ideas -- thanks for your input.

Well, my strange hip problem appears to be rapidly receding. I seems to be clear of the shooting pains now although the compression feeling in the left hip region is still there(but fading too). I doubled my dose of Organic Brewer's Yeast a couple of days ago to two tablespoons and this seems to have greatly helped. Brewer's Yeast contains all sorts of other heavyweight nutrient goodies besides the B vitamins including Selenium, Coenzyme Q10 and beta glucan. And Brewer's Yeast is cheap as well as natural.

I also sometimes get the leg cramps that you mention -- at night mostly -- and I know that this problem for me is mainly due to a lack of potassium/magnesium. I usually get the leg cramps after taking turpentine or Makabuhay(Tinospora cordifolia) because these two protocols have diuretic action -- they remove water and minerals from the body and I always forget to add minerals into these protocols.

I always read your comments on using Colloidal Silver. This is a most useful protocol for any blood infections like you have said. I haven't been able to find any CS in the Philippines yet but I will probably be buying some again off the internet soon. For now, I just rely on nutrients like Lugol's Iodine, Methylene Blue, Borax, Hydrogen Peroxide, Turpentine, DMSO etc against the various different types of blood born infections.

I am also looking to start taking enemas regularly for the first time and have been studying them recently. The reason for this new interest is that I have seen the amazing benefits and results -- first hand -- on the autism site that I'm involved with at the moment. The kids are taking enemas on a daily basis and their health is undoubtedly improving rapidly. The coffee enema is a must to clear out all the poisons from my liver and body. Then there is the soda enema, the milk and salt enema(gets rid of excess mucus from the intestines), the MMS enema(parasites), the Iodine enema, the turpentine enema(with soap) etc -- I expect to be having hours of fun experimenting with my new enema kit and Lord only knows what sort of "rust" is going to come tumbling out of my old back pipe...!!"

03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again Bill,

Thank you for the update on the "hip" issue.

About the enemas .... Dr. Nick Gonzales (MD) in Manhattan, the renowned cancer doctor, has enemas as a major part of his anti cancer protocol. That comes from his mentor under whom he studies; Dr William Kelley (who was a dentist but developed Dr Beard's ideas about the use of the enzyme "pancreatin"...). But his are all coffee enemas so interesting the many variations you are going to use. Looking forward to the outcome.

Your student,

dave"

04/01/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Dave...Dr William Kelly was very successful against cancer and Nick Gonzales has been just as succesful. I read somewhere that in Nick's Metabolic Protocol for cancer, his patients take between 150 to 170 pills a day, as well as diet, enemas etc. In Max Gerson's cancer protocol, his cure appeared to be almost solely based on defending the liver at all costs -- by getting all the poisons and toxins out of the body as fast as possible using both the coffee enemas and castor oil laxatives at the same time (thus avoiding re-absorption and redistribution of both cancer toxins and heavy metals via the colon). For each cancer patient (all of them usually with Stage 4 cancer where the doctors had already given up hope), Gerson gave them 4 enemas a day and 4 enemas during the sleeping hours. That's 8 enemas every 24 hours!! Interestingly, Max Gerson originally started curing people of TB in 1928 with this protocol. Then, so the story goes, someone aproached him desperate to try his therapy for someone in the familly with cancer in the 1930s and his protocol worked -- and the rest is history.

Gerson's strategy of always protecting the liver is therefore pretty logical. Walter Last has written about pleomorphic microbes and describes his own belief that, especially in chronic autoimmune diseases, we have a sludge build-up in our blood(as we get older) that cannot be cleared -- so it never goes away but just keeps building up. It is here that this sludge -- which contains bits of proteins, DNA and RNA -- can suddenly develop on their own to become viruses. Depending on the state of the body at the time, these new dangerous pathogens will simply adapt and change into viruses, bacteria or fungus as their living medium(the host body) demands and end up causing or contributing to our vast array of idiopathic and autoimmune diseases that we have today. See Walter Last's detailed article here.

So this is where protease enzymes and other useful and helpful liver protocols(such as the coffee enema, ALA, Milk Thistle, Selenium, MSM etc) will help to clear these toxins, heavy metals, proteins and sludge from the blood.

Doctors are completely unable to cure autoimmune diseases because they think like this: One Disease -- One Germ -- One Cure. How wrong or dumb can they be ? Their strategy and treatment for any chronic auto-immune disease is always palliative -- just treat the symptoms. So its a fail for them in my book.

That's why treatments like CS or MMS or Hydrogen Peroxide are so useful -- they kill a wide range of pathogens in the blood.

Of all the high, respected professions in this world, I find it most peculiar that being a doctor is NOT a performance related profession (in terms of lives saved or improved). If modern medicine were indeed performance related then I'm pretty sure that there would be alot of doctors and specialists who would be jobless out on the street mumbling, "...But I was following the Standard of Care Manual...Honest!! ...And they still died!! ". I guess doctoring is no longer a free-thinking, common sense profession anymore. And, of course, DO NO HARM doesn't enter into any part of the equation now where another drug sale is involved.

Sorry, ranting a bit..."

10/11/2010: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand: "Dear S. Chemotherapy and conventional cancer treatment are between 2 to 4% successful in treatment of cancer, while this number is much larger when treated with alternative natural methods, usually by a factor of 5 to 10. The treatment time to get improvement in alternative is also much faster, usually between 3 days to maximum of two weeks. The second thing you need to know is a blood sugar below 90 mg/dL is close to 97% if they are equal or below this level. Most standard blood sugar considered "normal" is 100 to 110 mg/dL. Unfortunately this is not really standard, They keep increasing the numbers, as more people are diabetic and obese. Hence standards are naturally "lifted". A long time ago, a good blood sugar is 80 to 90 mg/dL. Therefore I used this figure. The other thing is doctors use a 12 hour blood glucose fasting. I don't. I use it to test blood sugar averages, hence is taken after meals 1 hour. This is because cancer tend to metastasizes NOTICEABLY AFTER 2 hour eating something, with high sugar intake such as bananas, yogurt (the one's with the sugar), coconut milk, etc.
If she has difficulty eating vegetables, there is vegetable juice, made from broccolli (they block estrogen that promotes cancer), cabbages, carrot, onion and green apples, being my favorite. It is freshly prepared for the juices and taken throughout the day.

As for benzaldehyde with cyclodextrin, it is a 70% cyclodextrin mix with benzaldehyde, or a 50/50 mix, where we use 1/16 teaspoon which is roughly 1 drops equivalent and taken with meals throughout the day. I wouldn't worry about the beta cyclodextrin, for all practical purposes. The active component is the benzaldehyde, the other parts simply helps assimilate and helps reduce some irritation with the use of benzaldehyde, which is found in almonds and apricot anyway.

I told her if I were her I would cut out sugar and do a low carb diet, but I’m not sure what she should eat with the colitis as she has problems with vegetables.

A low carb and low protein diet is the main focus here, so we can use vegetable juice, apples, carrots, onions, for example instead. Vegetable issues maybe from the fibers and hard to eat, so a juice is prepared. At least initially. It's most important to add potassium citrate small amounts to displace sodium in cancer cells, as well as addition of malic acid (in apples, or pure malic acid). The amount is only 1/8 teaspoon once or twice a day. it is essential that lysine amino acid and glutamine amino acid is added, at 1/2 teaspoon powder at least taken 3 times a day, ideally 4 to 5 times a day, if need be. This increases immune system against cancer and tends to double the white blood cell count.

As for tannic acid, sorbitol alone would do fine. There is something easier then benzaldehyde if their taste are too strong, such as d limonene or orange peel or or lemon peel oil, which is actually d limonene and has some anticancer properties. It is most important for a person who has thyroid remove and most cancer IV (to take thyroid supplements and lugol's solution 1/4 strength at least 1 to 2 drops once for twice a day. It is also important that digestive enzymes, no calcium is taken with meals three times a day and plus one more before sleep. It will digest the cance cells. Absolutely no calcium supplements is used.

There is a lot of disinformation on cancer lately, one was to promote the use of peppers, which unfortunately tends to worsen the condition. You can't use this. They actually make books that covers curing cancer just by reducing stress only. The focus are too narrow and don't work. A holistic approach is vital. Potassium is needed, especially those which supports the Kreb's cycle, as in potassium acetate, malate, citrate kinds. These "switches" from glycolysis to aerobic. I am increasingly using more malates. A potassium malte is prepared with a reaction of potassium carbonate with a malic acid. This reduces cellular hypoxia, and then it switches to non glycolysis. A gluconate form of potassium is an "oxidized" glucose form, which is seen as a waste product by cancer and hence is not use, and can be safely added in the form of potassium gluconate or magnesium gluconate also. THe gluconate blocks the cancer glycolysis, a fermentative processes.

Most important of all in cancer remedy (at least Ted's remedy) is to measure blood sugar levels with some electronic devices that measures that, at least at below normal blood sugar level as in 100 to 105, but I prefer 90 mg/dL, as this one is better studied, at having 97% survivability. Hence sugar in foods, at least glucose, can be added, if need be at below 2% in a water, to help energy after a detox, vomiting, or diarrhea. Magnesium chloride is what I used to encourage a diarrhea or laxative effect in place of the more popular but difficult to use coffee enemas, which averages about 20 drops three times a day. If weakness after diarrhea or bowel movement is quite possible to add glucose, one level teaspoon per 250 cc of water, and drink only 1/3 of it, then wait perhaps 30 minuts and drink another 1/3 of that, to give energy. But at low concentration, of below or equal 2% it gives too little opportunity to feed cancer and not drink the entire contents at one time and taken gradually only to help if weakness is seen after a diarrhea, I believe this is the safest way to consume them, for the time being.

09/10/2012: Susan from Sydney, N.s.w Australia: "Hi Ted, can you please simplify the cervical cancer protocol I found it very confusing. I would realy appreciate it so so much.

Thank you yours kindly, Susan."

03/31/2014: Pebble from Atlanta, Ga: "Hi, my mom has been diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer. Years ago she had her thyroid removed, although being very active and thin until her 50s, after the thyroid issues she couldn't lose weight. She is 69. The doctors recommend radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy. I would very much appreciate if you could suggest supplements. Thanks,"

03/31/2014: Mike62 from Denver, CO: "Pebble: For the thyroid she can try desiccated porcine thyroid glandular. Many people have recovered from everything under the twinkling stars going raw paleo. She can eat raw grass fed hamburger, raw pastured eggs, desiccated liver, colostrum, and non denatured whey. Paleo requires low carbs. This can be explained by cellular biologists. For vegetable she can take barley grass juice powder. Supplements she can take are skate liver oil, unrefined sea salt, and CBD oil. Take 1/2ml every 10 days from 1oz bottle cherry flavored 1500mg CBD oil. This company makes theirs from the flowers of organically grown Canadian hemp."

[YEA]  03/31/2014: Lars from Boise, Idaho, Usa: "I'm 65 years old and have had palpitations since I was 16. I heard that the condition was caused by the Darvon or Darvoset pain med that I was given after surgery when I was 16. It has been taken off the market for that very reason. I have recently found that eating a Red Delicious apple gives me immediate palpitations, and would like to know why. I have them a lot when I get tired or exhausted. I have never had a doctor believe me when I complain about palpitations. They just treat me like I'm crazy or a hypochondriac. My doc now has me on Bisoprolol-HCTZ (a beta blocker) that sometimes relieves the palps but now when I miss a dose the palps go wild. I haven't found any natural remedy that has worked but am willing to try the recipes that you all have advised."

03/31/2014: Bee from New York: "Hi Lars from Idaho;

I understand what you are going through. About 2 years ago doctors bullied and scared me into beta blockers for hbp and because I said I was under stress he assumed I had palpitations.. I had some nervousness but never palpitations.. so stupid me took the medication.. Now I found a doctor who told me how to wean off the medication and I am doing it slowly but I am getting palpitations from that here and there. So what I have found to work for me is acupressure .. check utube for the points to press for stopping palpitations..Also the most unbelievable thing someone told me is that sea salt in a huge glass of water stops palpitations..and it does for me.. It might take a bit but it works.. Now I cant speak for you but its worth a try.. check earthclinic on here to see how sea salt works for that.."

03/31/2014: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "I began to get heart palpitations and found immediate relief by taking magnesium oxide."

03/31/2014: Mr. Ree from Usa: "Drink a glass of ice water in heavy hard gulps.. It will stop the palpitations immediately...

Or drink a glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt stirred in...Don't worry about the sea salt..It will raise your BP if it's low and lower it if it's high..."

03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Dear Lars,

You're correct that "propoxyphene" which was branded as Darvoset and Darvon, were found to effect the electrical action of the heart. In fact, you can still seek compensation for damages. Google, "Darvon darvoset lawyers" and you can find firms that will give free case evaluations.

If this were me, I certainly proceed cautiously but read the article on AEP (google: nutrition review calcium AEP...and you'll find an article that discusses how AEP works on the cellular level to HELP the electrical action). Maybe the AEP could help with the palpation damage done by the Darvoset.

Also I have found that without sufficient "magnesium" in the system one is almost certainly going to have heart issues. I take a lot of natural vitamin E (not the synthetic form); potassium and magnesium; calcium AEP and arginine daily. Those just for the cardio system.

I also might try getting magnesium in the system by taking a few Epsom salts baths two or three times weekly for a month. Two cups of Epsom salts dissolved in warm water and then added to a warm bath and soak for twenty minutes. The magnesium sulfate with absorb into the system and is reported widely to help calm and rejuvenate. Especially helpful in "a fib" issues.

Because papaya is such a system calmer, I'd also try a few tablespoons of that daily."

04/01/2014: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "Hi, Magnesium Taurate is preferable form of Magnesium for heart palpitation according to the "Magnesium Miracle" book. I have read several testimonials about how it helps, if you'd google Magnesium and palpitations there's plenty of info ..

Sea salt has some Magnesium as well but not enough to get the palpitations completely under control .. and you can only take so much sea salt safely without getting over board.."

04/01/2014: Kt from US: "Hi Lars, I just read your post wondering why eating an apple gave you immediate palpitations. Apples are coated with a wax that is a hidden source of MSG."

04/01/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Kt, I wonder if peeling that same apple would NOT produce palpitations...."

04/01/2014: Kt from Usa: "Hi Mmsg--I'm the one you wanted to keep posting "piecemeal" but haven't been on here much. I get discouraged when I know what I have learned but it is not always received well. I see so many remedies for "cures" instead of making attempts to just eliminate the cause.

ABOUT THE APPLES: When you pick up the apple the wax transfers to your fingers and as you peel, the knife transfers the wax along with your fingers to the apple. Then you ingest it. The same goes for oranges and grapefruits. You cannot wash the wax off. However, I saw a post on here, I think, that gave a ratio of vinegar and water that would remove the wax after soaking for a short time.

It's not worth the trouble for me to do that. One time I had gotten some good ol' Ivory Liquid that was reported to be digestible (original formula) and scrubbed the grapefruit skin but I just don't want to do that. I learned about the wax from Jack Samuels. I sometimes get apples and scrub them but I also cook them before I eat them. Eating the skin is still important.

Because our fruits and vegetables have been genetically modified in one way or another, raw is no longer safe. I get the canned water/juice packed apricots and peaches for my fruit. They have been blanched and are easier to digest. Sometimes if they seem too firm I cook them a little more. I don't think I can give the brand name of applesauce I purchase but it is the only one in a glass jar and has "Natural Plus" on the label. I get the concentrated "country style" orange juice because it has the pulp. I cook all vegetables until tender.

Mmsg, I hope I didn't unload too much on ya!"

04/01/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Thanks Kt for all your info! For now, I peel all fruits and veggies possible. Maybe here in Europe it's safer, who knows? I try to stay away from especially shiny fruits and veggies."

09/13/2012: Ropingangel from Blair, Oklahoma: "Hello Ingrid! I was diagnoised with the same thing 4 years ago.... I opted for no surgery, chemo or radiation. Mine was very large at the time and I need a team of surgeons! I was told the same thing it would come back or become cancer too. However I did not have a biopsy so really did not even know if it was already cancerous. Anyway, I went to a holistic Doc and went on a All Raw Food Diet! No junk no sugar! Just fruits and veggies! I juice carrots and beets, celery, cucumbers, ginger etc! I became very healthy and am doing great! My tumor is still there but not growing! Research all you can on holistic all natural ways to heal yourself! It works! :)"

02/08/2013: Maydaybefore from Brussels, Belgium: "Hi everyone, This is just to let you know that I have found this cream named Cansema Deep Tissue and put it inside my nose on the papilloma. It stang like someone was burning me with acid for about 5 minutes, than subsided. My tumor was as large as a grain of rice. It took 5 applications due to the fact that I (my helping husband) hardly could reach inside, but now thanks to Good God and this cream, it is gone!

Hope this helps somebody!"

03/31/2014: Fight Back!! from Columbia, PA: "Get a reusable nasal spray bottle and fill with distilled water, add 1 drop tea tree oil, 1 drop eucalyptus oil, and 1 drop of grape seed oil. Use it as you feel you need it."

10/26/2010: Stixoffire from Dothan, Usa: "I would like to know what is the digestive aid that you took. What is the name of it. I have read several different reviews on here - many people discuss remedies that deal with the symptoms - but do not cure the infection. That is like saying I have a big gash in my skin that hurts everyday and treating for pain. I do not want just the pain to be gone, I want the cure. I am not allergic to anything that I am aware of and I have tried Manuka Honey (1 teaspoon full) - I had an immediate allergic reaction, my body started to itch everywhere for 2 days.

I am thinking to try the Garlic and Broccoli Sprout method. According to the John Hopkins study: "Citing their new "demonstration of principle" study, a Johns Hopkins researcher and an international team of scientists caution that eating sprouts containing sulforaphane did not cure infection by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori). They do not suggest that eating this or any amount of broccoli sprouts will protect anyone from stomach cancer or cure GI diseases"

11/27/2010: Lynn from Oregon City, Or: "This is in regards to the comments about H-Pylori and Mastic Gum. Several years ago our teen son became very ill. He had pain of the stomach, bloating, and overall did not feel well. We took him to regular doctor who without running any tests prescribed over the counter products to relieve pain... This was not effective... Time went on, we revisited the doctor with no good results, and our son became increasingly ill, losing nearly 40 pounds. We became alarmed and took him to another doctor who immediately sent him to a gastro specialist who placed him on antibiotics after finding not only H-Pylori but the accompanying ulcers in his stomach. Much damage had been done. Antibiotic therapy did not eradicate the H-Pylori and we were told after more than two rounds of antibiotics that they had done what they could.

A friend of ours who is a health researcher, when he heard about our problem, guided us to Mastic Gum. Our son was put on it, and withing thirty days began to respond positively to the therapy. This was a miracle! Unfortunately, the ulcers had been there a long time and needed healing. This process has taken years... Our son still has problems when he eats the wrong thing but he continues to do what he can...

Side note - antibiotics were not helpful at all and we also administered other products to get his flora back to normal. Now to try the pine nut oil...."

12/17/2010: Name from City, State: "Try a strong cup of chamomile tea each night."

[NAY]  12/28/2010: Ian from Nahariya, Israel: "I can't speak for Mastic Gum - yet. It is next on my list to try as I have had HP for 10 years on and off. The "off " being on anti biotics but the HP always comes back. Let me warn people against taking Manuka honey. I tried it as some said it had been helpful. It was the exact opposite and I thought I would have to go to hospital. HP loves the sugar. Manuka DOES heal external wounds magnificently though. Another failure is Grape fruit seed extract as a cure. It could conceivably be a preventative."

[YEA]  09/18/2013: Tony C from Antelope,ca: "To: Lynn from Oregon: I beleived I had a bleeding ulcer in my lower stomach, as I was getting black bowel movements.. I stumbled onto virgin pine nut oil, heard a 97% heal rate with this oil try it. I took it immediately and within a week, my stools were back to normal brown, and normal bowel movements, so I drank each bottle for a month, so at the end of 2 months, I ordered 2 more bottles just to finalize this healing, which is working on me... I am also taking mastic gum starting today for a 30 day run at 2 pills a day. H. Pylori is tough to get rid of, so try the natural things that work, coconut oil raw, also I am taking probiotic and enzyme tabs each day to restore ph balances, and also as a last resort, epazote herb tea, known as Mexican tea, will kill parasites, H. Pylori, fungal bacteria, etc, as the Mexican people actually use the herb in their foods to stay free of digestive problems. Only drink 1/4 cup of tea once a day, for 3 days, stop, resume 2 weeks later and repeat.. See if that cures it, if not wait a week and try the formula again... It is a very strong tea and if overdrank could have some side effects, so drink 1/4 cup once a day only! Too many Doctors confuse the public and misdiagnose these problems. This is common knowledge I have shared, so use at your discretion. However, I am taking all of the above in stages to get rid of H. Pylori. Good health! ps: I have spent around $200 so far."

03/31/2014: Maria from London, UK: "Hi there, I just saw your message on H Pylori. You say you purchased 3 products but only mentioned 2 of them. Also, in what quantity did you take them? Many thanks."

03/31/2014: Saad from Karachi, PK: "Naveed, I'm going through this pathetic MC, need to know where you got tea tree oil and soap.... need your assistance to get tea tree oil and soap."

03/31/2014: Teel from Chicago: "I have been suffering from the outbreaks for the past three years. I noticed stress brings it on and different dosages of vacyclovir gets rid of it faster than others. I was coming down with one when I started the oils back at the end of Feb. (I also applied a mixture of a drop of oil to vaseline on outbreak zone) It never fully came out and no reoccurrence. I try to do three to four drops under my tongue every morning with rubbing the oil in the spine daily. It's been a little over a month and so far so good. The smell and taste is very strong but a small price to beat this. I advise caution with drops as burning can occur. I allow saliva to form before swallowing to digest and avoid burning my throat. Others can try water. I hope to check back in a year and say not one outbreak has happened since starting. Hopefully this works."

03/31/2014: Gertal from Al: "Start off by getting a blood pressure monitor at the drugstore. Take it yourself and keep a record of what it is. Then, practice 'calming' techniques--deep breathing, etc, and learn how to get it down that way. Make a list of everything you take and then check each item to see if it can raise your bp. the dgl licorice for my ulcer would raise mine, so even 'natural' things we take can make it go up. Besides that, do some research on this site and see what else you can do. If your bp is normal when you take it yourself, then you can show this to the dr and demonstrate that he causes it to go up."

I do use sea salt for palpitations and this morning I used a teaspoon and just put in on my tongue and now am drinking 9 glasses of water.. I have some celtic sea salt.. I keep reading different things. Take the salt on your tongue or put the salt in water.. so not sure.. I looked at the website also.. I am also wondering how long does this take and does it have to be for a long time or is it short term?? Thanks"

04/01/2014: Baldev from Maharashtra, India: "Hi Sigistardust,

Someone on this site had posted that her son in law brought his HBP under control by drinking Eggplant water, and it was tried by me and I confirm that it does work.

Now how to do it, peel the eggplant skin off and then make small pieces and put it in a glass jar fill it with water cover it with the lid and put the jar in the fridge, after 48 hrs you can start drinking this water at least twice a day say 200 ml each time. Each time you drink this water, you can put same amount of fresh water in the jar and finish it in three days. After that you can make the fresh batch. The capacity of the jug should be around one to one and a half liter. I suggest you try this and see if it helps, I am sure if it does not help then it is not going to harm you either.

Good luck.

Baldev"

03/31/2014: Thehandyman1947 from Ohio, US : "sigistardust, google DR.HANS A NIEPER the curious man, you can buy an online book for $3.03 that explains everything, and tells you exactly what to get to rectify most heart and blood pressure problems, you're right to not take their poison drugs, also try himalayan pink salt (www.saltworks.us) this salt will only raise B P 2 to 3 points. Luckyvitamines.com has the products from dr nieper, they are reasonably priced"

[YEA]  04/01/2014: Kelly from Cambridge, Ma: "I have found that being more cognizant of my blood sugar has helped my blood pressure, when other natural methods didn't.

Blood sugar isn't something I've ever had to worry about, but during my endless research into natural alternatives to BP med's, I stumbled across some interesting information that prompted me to pay more attention to blood sugar when it comes to BP.

I see many here with BP issues write that they "eat well", no junk food, etc. However, there are foods that don't fall under the junk category that can wreak havoc with blood sugar and BP.

Whole wheat bread is a good example. Two slices of whole wheat bread (or whole wheat cereal) spike your blood sugar more than a Snickers bar. Who'da thunk it?! :)

Glycemic Index of whole wheat bread = 72. GI of a Snickers bar = 41!

After much trial and error with many natural methods to get my BP under control, what's worked best are the following:

-Keeping my blood sugar steady, (i.e. eating before I hit the "I'm starving! " mark and want to eat my own arm...haha :)

-100mg's of CoQ10 twice a day

-One capsule of Acetyl-L-Carnitine 800/Alpha Lipoic Acid 400 combo twice a day. I found the combo capsule for dirt-cheap via Spring Valley (Walmart's brand).

-Sipping potassium-rich water throughout the day. I alternate between coconut water, which is potassium-rich, and potassium broth, which is made from boiled potato peels.

-Before bed, I spray my legs and feet with magnesium chloride spray that I make myself from the quick-dissolve capsules and water.

If, as with me, other natural remedies have failed, give this one a try. So far, so good!"

anyway; thanks for the info.. so far I am doing ACV, olive leaf, magnesium oil, beet root, COq10, Taurine and I drink eggplant water ..Just trying different things.. some things work and some don't but its frustrating.. actually I did try lemon water and that might have worked the best..not sure yet...also looking in the water cure..

I will def. look into what you posted.

Oh; I don't eat a lot of carbs nor sugar and don't do a lot of bread. If I do its very low carb and I am gluten free . If I eliminate anymore food I will not be eating anything...I might start jucing tomorrow..."

04/01/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Sigistardust...Coversyl contains a drug called perindopril whose main dangerous side-effect is to cause renal failure due to the combination of high drug acidity and high blood pressure which always tends to destroy the delicate filtration network in the kidneys. So you were very right to refuse this drug.

To help you with your BP problem:

* Take 500 mgs Niacin(Vitamin B3) twice a day at meals. To avoid the niacin flush effect, take an aspirin 20 mins before you take the niacin. Or you can take the slow release form of niacin -- inositol hexanicotinate, which will not give the flush. Do not use the niacinamide form of B3 as this has no beneficial effect on blood pressure. See this article by Abram Hoffer. See this article on how to take niacin.

* Also take a tablespoon of Brewer's Yeast once every day in a drink -- B Vitamins always work better when supplemented naturally as a group because all the B vits are dependent on each other and tend to work together in concert. Niacin particularly acts to change the blood. Blood which is too thick or which has too much clumping will be more viscous with increased BP and increased strain on the heart. Niacin safely thins the blood, lowering BP to normal levels thus removing the strain on the heart.

*Supplement a source of Iodine. I find Lugol's Iodine the best (I been taking 8 drops or 50 mgs 5% LI a day for the last 8 years). You can also use other iodine forms like Iodoral if you wish. Iodoral is simply Lugol's Iodine in a pill. I regard iodine as an essential mineral element that everyone lacks in their diets today and most people are low thyroid as a result. Iodine also helps to solublize fats and proteins(including cholesterol) in the blood for better utilization and removal by the liver. Coronary heart disease, high BP etc can be caused by blockages or build up of fat proteins (called lipoproteins) in the blood. So supplementing lugols iodine acts to normalize these lipoprotein to more healthier levels. See these guidelines on how to supplement lugol's iodine. Iodine also increases energy, kills a wide variety of pathogens, prevents menstrual problems by normalizing hormones, increases bone density, reduces cysts formation, removes mercury, lead, aluminium, cadmium, arsenic, fluorine and bromine from the body as well as being the main ammunition needed for the immune system to help fight pathogens in all the mucus sites of the body.

* Reduce all diary in the diet to reduce your calcium intake. Lipoproteins are normally bound to calcium which can cause constriction and blockages in the blood vessels. Take 250 mgs of Magnesium Citrate twice a day with meals to help regulate excess calcium in the blood which may be causing contributing to your problems.

* Take Vitamin C -- 1, 000 mgs three times a day.

* Nattokinase. This is a protease enzyme that digests fibrin or dead organic matter in the blood vessels that can cause blockages and high BP. I would first try all the nutrients shown above on their own for a while first. If that doesn't help then use the nattokinse (which is expensive).

And being a vegetarian I should also add Vitamin B12(not in Brewer's Yeast) and some form of extra sulfur to your diet -- -like MSM(Methyl-sulfonyl-methane), ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) or N-Acetyl-Cysteine. See this research on essential sulfur for the body for more ideas. Vegetarians generally always lack adequate sulfur nutrients in there diets. Sulfur can also be found in small amounts in foods like eggs, garlic and onions."

04/02/2014: Sigistardust from Vancouver B.c. Canada: "Hello Bill and others who offered me help in regards to b.p on this issue. I bought some lugol’s iodine from Australia, just wonder does the product has to be refridged after opening the bottle? Something I didnt do! But I will take lugol again. Niacin seems to be also a healer, I once took niacin, but broke out in hives, which scared me I will try it again. Will start with a smaller doses, don’t mind the flush, vit b-3

Again many many thank you all of you with sound advise.!!! I will let you know my progress after 2 weeks it should show some.

Someone on this site had posted that her son in law brought his HBP under control by drinking Eggplant water, and it was tried by me and I confirm that it does work.

Now how to do it, peel the eggplant skin off and then make small pieces and put it in a glass jar fill it with water cover it with the lid and put the jar in the fridge, after 48 hrs you can start drinking this water at least twice a day say 200 ml each time. Each time you drink this water, you can put same amount of fresh water in the jar and finish it in three days. After that you can make the fresh batch. The capacity of the jug should be around one to one and a half liter. I suggest you try this and see if it helps, I am sure if it does not help then it is not going to harm you either.

Good luck.

Baldev"

03/31/2014: Thehandyman1947 from Ohio, US : "sigistardust, google DR.HANS A NIEPER the curious man, you can buy an online book for $3.03 that explains everything, and tells you exactly what to get to rectify most heart and blood pressure problems, you're right to not take their poison drugs, also try himalayan pink salt (www.saltworks.us) this salt will only raise B P 2 to 3 points. Luckyvitamines.com has the products from dr nieper, they are reasonably priced"

[YEA]  04/01/2014: Kelly from Cambridge, Ma: "I have found that being more cognizant of my blood sugar has helped my blood pressure, when other natural methods didn't.

Blood sugar isn't something I've ever had to worry about, but during my endless research into natural alternatives to BP med's, I stumbled across some interesting information that prompted me to pay more attention to blood sugar when it comes to BP.

I see many here with BP issues write that they "eat well", no junk food, etc. However, there are foods that don't fall under the junk category that can wreak havoc with blood sugar and BP.

Whole wheat bread is a good example. Two slices of whole wheat bread (or whole wheat cereal) spike your blood sugar more than a Snickers bar. Who'da thunk it?! :)

Glycemic Index of whole wheat bread = 72. GI of a Snickers bar = 41!

After much trial and error with many natural methods to get my BP under control, what's worked best are the following:

-Keeping my blood sugar steady, (i.e. eating before I hit the "I'm starving! " mark and want to eat my own arm...haha :)

-100mg's of CoQ10 twice a day

-One capsule of Acetyl-L-Carnitine 800/Alpha Lipoic Acid 400 combo twice a day. I found the combo capsule for dirt-cheap via Spring Valley (Walmart's brand).

04/01/2014: Baldev from Maharashtra, India: "Hi Sigistardust,

Someone on this site had posted that her son in law brought his HBP under control by drinking Eggplant water, and it was tried by me and I confirm that it does work.

Now how to do it, peel the eggplant skin off and then make small pieces and put it in a glass jar fill it with water cover it with the lid and put the jar in the fridge, after 48 hrs you can start drinking this water at least twice a day say 200 ml each time. Each time you drink this water, you can put same amount of fresh water in the jar and finish it in three days. After that you can make the fresh batch. The capacity of the jug should be around one to one and a half liter. I suggest you try this and see if it helps, I am sure if it does not help then it is not going to harm you either.

Good luck.

[YEA]  04/01/2014: Kelly from Cambridge, Ma: "I have found that being more cognizant of my blood sugar has helped my blood pressure, when other natural methods didn't.

Blood sugar isn't something I've ever had to worry about, but during my endless research into natural alternatives to BP med's, I stumbled across some interesting information that prompted me to pay more attention to blood sugar when it comes to BP.

I see many here with BP issues write that they "eat well", no junk food, etc. However, there are foods that don't fall under the junk category that can wreak havoc with blood sugar and BP.

Whole wheat bread is a good example. Two slices of whole wheat bread (or whole wheat cereal) spike your blood sugar more than a Snickers bar. Who'da thunk it?! :)

Glycemic Index of whole wheat bread = 72. GI of a Snickers bar = 41!

After much trial and error with many natural methods to get my BP under control, what's worked best are the following:

-Keeping my blood sugar steady, (i.e. eating before I hit the "I'm starving! " mark and want to eat my own arm...haha :)

-100mg's of CoQ10 twice a day

-One capsule of Acetyl-L-Carnitine 800/Alpha Lipoic Acid 400 combo twice a day. I found the combo capsule for dirt-cheap via Spring Valley (Walmart's brand).

-Sipping potassium-rich water throughout the day. I alternate between coconut water, which is potassium-rich, and potassium broth, which is made from boiled potato peels.

-Before bed, I spray my legs and feet with magnesium chloride spray that I make myself from the quick-dissolve capsules and water.

If, as with me, other natural remedies have failed, give this one a try. So far, so good!"

04/01/2014: Bee from New York, US: "Hi Kelly.. I think you posted something before if that is the same you LOL

anyway; thanks for the info.. so far I am doing ACV, olive leaf, magnesium oil, beet root, COq10, Taurine and I drink eggplant water ..Just trying different things.. some things work and some don't but its frustrating.. actually I did try lemon water and that might have worked the best..not sure yet...also looking in the water cure..

I will def. look into what you posted.

Oh; I don't eat a lot of carbs nor sugar and don't do a lot of bread. If I do its very low carb and I am gluten free . If I eliminate anymore food I will not be eating anything...I might start jucing tomorrow..."

04/01/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Sigistardust...Coversyl contains a drug called perindopril whose main dangerous side-effect is to cause renal failure due to the combination of high drug acidity and high blood pressure which always tends to destroy the delicate filtration network in the kidneys. So you were very right to refuse this drug.

To help you with your BP problem:

* Take 500 mgs Niacin(Vitamin B3) twice a day at meals. To avoid the niacin flush effect, take an aspirin 20 mins before you take the niacin. Or you can take the slow release form of niacin -- inositol hexanicotinate, which will not give the flush. Do not use the niacinamide form of B3 as this has no beneficial effect on blood pressure. See this article by Abram Hoffer. See this article on how to take niacin.

* Also take a tablespoon of Brewer's Yeast once every day in a drink -- B Vitamins always work better when supplemented naturally as a group because all the B vits are dependent on each other and tend to work together in concert. Niacin particularly acts to change the blood. Blood which is too thick or which has too much clumping will be more viscous with increased BP and increased strain on the heart. Niacin safely thins the blood, lowering BP to normal levels thus removing the strain on the heart.

*Supplement a source of Iodine. I find Lugol's Iodine the best (I been taking 8 drops or 50 mgs 5% LI a day for the last 8 years). You can also use other iodine forms like Iodoral if you wish. Iodoral is simply Lugol's Iodine in a pill. I regard iodine as an essential mineral element that everyone lacks in their diets today and most people are low thyroid as a result. Iodine also helps to solublize fats and proteins(including cholesterol) in the blood for better utilization and removal by the liver. Coronary heart disease, high BP etc can be caused by blockages or build up of fat proteins (called lipoproteins) in the blood. So supplementing lugols iodine acts to normalize these lipoprotein to more healthier levels. See these guidelines on how to supplement lugol's iodine. Iodine also increases energy, kills a wide variety of pathogens, prevents menstrual problems by normalizing hormones, increases bone density, reduces cysts formation, removes mercury, lead, aluminium, cadmium, arsenic, fluorine and bromine from the body as well as being the main ammunition needed for the immune system to help fight pathogens in all the mucus sites of the body.

* Reduce all diary in the diet to reduce your calcium intake. Lipoproteins are normally bound to calcium which can cause constriction and blockages in the blood vessels. Take 250 mgs of Magnesium Citrate twice a day with meals to help regulate excess calcium in the blood which may be causing contributing to your problems.

* Take Vitamin C -- 1, 000 mgs three times a day.

* Nattokinase. This is a protease enzyme that digests fibrin or dead organic matter in the blood vessels that can cause blockages and high BP. I would first try all the nutrients shown above on their own for a while first. If that doesn't help then use the nattokinse (which is expensive).

And being a vegetarian I should also add Vitamin B12(not in Brewer's Yeast) and some form of extra sulfur to your diet -- -like MSM(Methyl-sulfonyl-methane), ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) or N-Acetyl-Cysteine. See this research on essential sulfur for the body for more ideas. Vegetarians generally always lack adequate sulfur nutrients in there diets. Sulfur can also be found in small amounts in foods like eggs, garlic and onions."

04/02/2014: Sigistardust from Vancouver B.c. Canada: "Hello Bill and others who offered me help in regards to b.p on this issue. I bought some lugol’s iodine from Australia, just wonder does the product has to be refridged after opening the bottle? Something I didnt do! But I will take lugol again. Niacin seems to be also a healer, I once took niacin, but broke out in hives, which scared me I will try it again. Will start with a smaller doses, don’t mind the flush, vit b-3

Again many many thank you all of you with sound advise.!!! I will let you know my progress after 2 weeks it should show some.

Warm regards, Sigistardust"

04/02/2014: Mike62 from Denver, CO: "Bee: Dieting increases the disease state. Energy and nutrients are required to detox, nourish, strengthen, and repair the tissues. Cells do not burn vitamins and minerals as fuel. There are 2 food programs people can follow. I follow the 80/10/10 program begun by the nutritionist to Martina Navratilova. Carbs are for fuel. Fats and proteins are for structure. Mitochondrial proteins unfold when fat is below 5%/g of carbs so that insulin can attach to the receptor sites. Medium fat medium carb folds the mitochondrial proteins so carbs, insulin, and nutrients, accumulate in the plasma, causing degenerative diseases.

03/31/2014: Gertal from Al: "Start off by getting a blood pressure monitor at the drugstore. Take it yourself and keep a record of what it is. Then, practice 'calming' techniques--deep breathing, etc, and learn how to get it down that way. Make a list of everything you take and then check each item to see if it can raise your bp. the dgl licorice for my ulcer would raise mine, so even 'natural' things we take can make it go up. Besides that, do some research on this site and see what else you can do. If your bp is normal when you take it yourself, then you can show this to the dr and demonstrate that he causes it to go up."

I have recently found that eating a Red Delicious apple gives me immediate palpitations, and would like to know why. I have them a lot when I get tired or exhausted. I have never had a doctor believe me when I complain about palpitations. They just treat me like I'm crazy or a hypochondriac.

03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Dear Lars,

You're correct that "propoxyphene" which was branded as Darvoset and Darvon, were found to effect the electrical action of the heart. In fact, you can still seek compensation for damages. Google, "Darvon darvoset lawyers" and you can find firms that will give free case evaluations.

If this were me, I certainly proceed cautiously but read the article on AEP (google: nutrition review calcium AEP...and you'll find an article that discusses how AEP works on the cellular level to HELP the electrical action). Maybe the AEP could help with the palpation damage done by the Darvoset.

Also I have found that without sufficient "magnesium" in the system one is almost certainly going to have heart issues. I take a lot of natural vitamin E (not the synthetic form); potassium and magnesium; calcium AEP and arginine daily. Those just for the cardio system.

I also might try getting magnesium in the system by taking a few Epsom salts baths two or three times weekly for a month. Two cups of Epsom salts dissolved in warm water and then added to a warm bath and soak for twenty minutes. The magnesium sulfate with absorb into the system and is reported widely to help calm and rejuvenate. Especially helpful in "a fib" issues.

Because papaya is such a system calmer, I'd also try a few tablespoons of that daily."

04/01/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Kt, I wonder if peeling that same apple would NOT produce palpitations...."

04/01/2014: Kt from Usa: "Hi Mmsg--I'm the one you wanted to keep posting "piecemeal" but haven't been on here much. I get discouraged when I know what I have learned but it is not always received well. I see so many remedies for "cures" instead of making attempts to just eliminate the cause.

ABOUT THE APPLES: When you pick up the apple the wax transfers to your fingers and as you peel, the knife transfers the wax along with your fingers to the apple. Then you ingest it. The same goes for oranges and grapefruits. You cannot wash the wax off. However, I saw a post on here, I think, that gave a ratio of vinegar and water that would remove the wax after soaking for a short time.

It's not worth the trouble for me to do that. One time I had gotten some good ol' Ivory Liquid that was reported to be digestible (original formula) and scrubbed the grapefruit skin but I just don't want to do that. I learned about the wax from Jack Samuels. I sometimes get apples and scrub them but I also cook them before I eat them. Eating the skin is still important.

Because our fruits and vegetables have been genetically modified in one way or another, raw is no longer safe. I get the canned water/juice packed apricots and peaches for my fruit. They have been blanched and are easier to digest. Sometimes if they seem too firm I cook them a little more. I don't think I can give the brand name of applesauce I purchase but it is the only one in a glass jar and has "Natural Plus" on the label. I get the concentrated "country style" orange juice because it has the pulp. I cook all vegetables until tender.

Mmsg, I hope I didn't unload too much on ya!"

[YEA]  03/31/2014: Lars from Boise, Idaho, Usa: "I'm 65 years old and have had palpitations since I was 16. I heard that the condition was caused by the Darvon or Darvoset pain med that I was given after surgery when I was 16. It has been taken off the market for that very reason. I have recently found that eating a Red Delicious apple gives me immediate palpitations, and would like to know why. I have them a lot when I get tired or exhausted. I have never had a doctor believe me when I complain about palpitations. They just treat me like I'm crazy or a hypochondriac. My doc now has me on Bisoprolol-HCTZ (a beta blocker) that sometimes relieves the palps but now when I miss a dose the palps go wild. I haven't found any natural remedy that has worked but am willing to try the recipes that you all have advised."

03/31/2014: Bee from New York: "Hi Lars from Idaho;

I understand what you are going through. About 2 years ago doctors bullied and scared me into beta blockers for hbp and because I said I was under stress he assumed I had palpitations.. I had some nervousness but never palpitations.. so stupid me took the medication.. Now I found a doctor who told me how to wean off the medication and I am doing it slowly but I am getting palpitations from that here and there. So what I have found to work for me is acupressure .. check utube for the points to press for stopping palpitations..Also the most unbelievable thing someone told me is that sea salt in a huge glass of water stops palpitations..and it does for me.. It might take a bit but it works.. Now I cant speak for you but its worth a try.. check earthclinic on here to see how sea salt works for that.."

03/31/2014: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "I began to get heart palpitations and found immediate relief by taking magnesium oxide."

03/31/2014: Mr. Ree from Usa: "Drink a glass of ice water in heavy hard gulps.. It will stop the palpitations immediately...

Or drink a glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt stirred in...Don't worry about the sea salt..It will raise your BP if it's low and lower it if it's high..."

03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Dear Lars,

You're correct that "propoxyphene" which was branded as Darvoset and Darvon, were found to effect the electrical action of the heart. In fact, you can still seek compensation for damages. Google, "Darvon darvoset lawyers" and you can find firms that will give free case evaluations.

If this were me, I certainly proceed cautiously but read the article on AEP (google: nutrition review calcium AEP...and you'll find an article that discusses how AEP works on the cellular level to HELP the electrical action). Maybe the AEP could help with the palpation damage done by the Darvoset.

Also I have found that without sufficient "magnesium" in the system one is almost certainly going to have heart issues. I take a lot of natural vitamin E (not the synthetic form); potassium and magnesium; calcium AEP and arginine daily. Those just for the cardio system.

I also might try getting magnesium in the system by taking a few Epsom salts baths two or three times weekly for a month. Two cups of Epsom salts dissolved in warm water and then added to a warm bath and soak for twenty minutes. The magnesium sulfate with absorb into the system and is reported widely to help calm and rejuvenate. Especially helpful in "a fib" issues.

Because papaya is such a system calmer, I'd also try a few tablespoons of that daily."

04/01/2014: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "Hi, Magnesium Taurate is preferable form of Magnesium for heart palpitation according to the "Magnesium Miracle" book. I have read several testimonials about how it helps, if you'd google Magnesium and palpitations there's plenty of info ..

ABOUT THE APPLES: When you pick up the apple the wax transfers to your fingers and as you peel, the knife transfers the wax along with your fingers to the apple. Then you ingest it. The same goes for oranges and grapefruits. You cannot wash the wax off. However, I saw a post on here, I think, that gave a ratio of vinegar and water that would remove the wax after soaking for a short time.

Then, practice 'calming' techniques--deep breathing, etc, and learn how to get it down that way. Make a list of everything you take and then check each item to see if it can raise your bp. the dgl licorice for my ulcer would raise mine, so even 'natural' things we take can make it go up. Besides that, do some research on this site and see what else you can do. If your bp is normal when you take it yourself, then you can show this to the dr and demonstrate that he causes it to go up."

Someone on this site had posted that her son in law brought his HBP under control by drinking Eggplant water, and it was tried by me and I confirm that it does work.

Now how to do it, peel the eggplant skin off and then make small pieces and put it in a glass jar fill it with water cover it with the lid and put the jar in the fridge, after 48 hrs you can start drinking this water at least twice a day say 200 ml each time. Each time you drink this water, you can put same amount of fresh water in the jar and finish it in three days. After that you can make the fresh batch. The capacity of the jug should be around one to one and a half liter. I suggest you try this and see if it helps, I am sure if it does not help then it is not going to harm you either.

Good luck.

Baldev"

[YEA]  04/01/2014: Kelly from Cambridge, Ma: "I have found that being more cognizant of my blood sugar has helped my blood pressure, when other natural methods didn't.

Blood sugar isn't something I've ever had to worry about, but during my endless research into natural alternatives to BP med's, I stumbled across some interesting information that prompted me to pay more attention to blood sugar when it comes to BP.

I see many here with BP issues write that they "eat well", no junk food, etc. However, there are foods that don't fall under the junk category that can wreak havoc with blood sugar and BP.

Whole wheat bread is a good example. Two slices of whole wheat bread (or whole wheat cereal) spike your blood sugar more than a Snickers bar. Who'da thunk it?! :)

Glycemic Index of whole wheat bread = 72. GI of a Snickers bar = 41!

After much trial and error with many natural methods to get my BP under control, what's worked best are the following:

-Keeping my blood sugar steady, (i.e. eating before I hit the "I'm starving! " mark and want to eat my own arm...haha :)

-100mg's of CoQ10 twice a day

-One capsule of Acetyl-L-Carnitine 800/Alpha Lipoic Acid 400 combo twice a day. I found the combo capsule for dirt-cheap via Spring Valley (Walmart's brand).

-Sipping potassium-rich water throughout the day. I alternate between coconut water, which is potassium-rich, and potassium broth, which is made from boiled potato peels.

-Before bed, I spray my legs and feet with magnesium chloride spray that I make myself from the quick-dissolve capsules and water.

If, as with me, other natural remedies have failed, give this one a try. So far, so good!"

04/01/2014: Bee from New York, US: "Hi Kelly.. I think you posted something before if that is the same you LOL

anyway; thanks for the info.. so far I am doing ACV, olive leaf, magnesium oil, beet root, COq10, Taurine and I drink eggplant water ..Just trying different things.. some things work and some don't but its frustrating.. actually I did try lemon water and that might have worked the best..not sure yet...also looking in the water cure..

I will def. look into what you posted.

Oh; I don't eat a lot of carbs nor sugar and don't do a lot of bread. If I do its very low carb and I am gluten free . If I eliminate anymore food I will not be eating anything...I might start jucing tomorrow..."

04/01/2014: Rebel from Somewhere Usa: "Hello! You may want to check into the benefits of cayenne pepper. Read up on this just Google, Bing or Ixquick. By the way my favorite is Ixquick.com they never record your IP Address."

04/01/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Sigistardust...Coversyl contains a drug called perindopril whose main dangerous side-effect is to cause renal failure due to the combination of high drug acidity and high blood pressure which always tends to destroy the delicate filtration network in the kidneys. So you were very right to refuse this drug.

To help you with your BP problem:

* Take 500 mgs Niacin(Vitamin B3) twice a day at meals. To avoid the niacin flush effect, take an aspirin 20 mins before you take the niacin. Or you can take the slow release form of niacin -- inositol hexanicotinate, which will not give the flush. Do not use the niacinamide form of B3 as this has no beneficial effect on blood pressure. See this article by Abram Hoffer. See this article on how to take niacin.

* Also take a tablespoon of Brewer's Yeast once every day in a drink -- B Vitamins always work better when supplemented naturally as a group because all the B vits are dependent on each other and tend to work together in concert. Niacin particularly acts to change the blood. Blood which is too thick or which has too much clumping will be more viscous with increased BP and increased strain on the heart. Niacin safely thins the blood, lowering BP to normal levels thus removing the strain on the heart.

*Supplement a source of Iodine. I find Lugol's Iodine the best (I been taking 8 drops or 50 mgs 5% LI a day for the last 8 years). You can also use other iodine forms like Iodoral if you wish. Iodoral is simply Lugol's Iodine in a pill. I regard iodine as an essential mineral element that everyone lacks in their diets today and most people are low thyroid as a result. Iodine also helps to solublize fats and proteins(including cholesterol) in the blood for better utilization and removal by the liver. Coronary heart disease, high BP etc can be caused by blockages or build up of fat proteins (called lipoproteins) in the blood. So supplementing lugols iodine acts to normalize these lipoprotein to more healthier levels. See these guidelines on how to supplement lugol's iodine. Iodine also increases energy, kills a wide variety of pathogens, prevents menstrual problems by normalizing hormones, increases bone density, reduces cysts formation, removes mercury, lead, aluminium, cadmium, arsenic, fluorine and bromine from the body as well as being the main ammunition needed for the immune system to help fight pathogens in all the mucus sites of the body.

* Reduce all diary in the diet to reduce your calcium intake. Lipoproteins are normally bound to calcium which can cause constriction and blockages in the blood vessels. Take 250 mgs of Magnesium Citrate twice a day with meals to help regulate excess calcium in the blood which may be causing contributing to your problems.

* Take Vitamin C -- 1, 000 mgs three times a day.

* Nattokinase. This is a protease enzyme that digests fibrin or dead organic matter in the blood vessels that can cause blockages and high BP. I would first try all the nutrients shown above on their own for a while first. If that doesn't help then use the nattokinse (which is expensive).

And being a vegetarian I should also add Vitamin B12(not in Brewer's Yeast) and some form of extra sulfur to your diet -- -like MSM(Methyl-sulfonyl-methane), ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) or N-Acetyl-Cysteine. See this research on essential sulfur for the body for more ideas. Vegetarians generally always lack adequate sulfur nutrients in there diets. Sulfur can also be found in small amounts in foods like eggs, garlic and onions."

04/02/2014: Sigistardust from Vancouver B.c. Canada: "Hello Bill and others who offered me help in regards to b.p on this issue. I bought some lugol’s iodine from Australia, just wonder does the product has to be refridged after opening the bottle? Something I didnt do! But I will take lugol again. Niacin seems to be also a healer, I once took niacin, but broke out in hives, which scared me I will try it again. Will start with a smaller doses, don’t mind the flush, vit b-3

Again many many thank you all of you with sound advise.!!! I will let you know my progress after 2 weeks it should show some.

Warm regards, Sigistardust"

04/02/2014: Mike62 from Denver, CO: "Bee: Dieting increases the disease state. Energy and nutrients are required to detox, nourish, strengthen, and repair the tissues. Cells do not burn vitamins and minerals as fuel. There are 2 food programs people can follow. I follow the 80/10/10 program begun by the nutritionist to Martina Navratilova. Carbs are for fuel. Fats and proteins are for structure. Mitochondrial proteins unfold when fat is below 5%/g of carbs so that insulin can attach to the receptor sites. Medium fat medium carb folds the mitochondrial proteins so carbs, insulin, and nutrients, accumulate in the plasma, causing degenerative diseases. The cell can burn small amounts of carbs when fat is high. The best way to do the high fat low carb plan is to take expeller pressed coconut oil for fuel. Eat like an athlete, feel like an athlete, my motto."

03/29/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Bill,

I have a similar hip issue; mine is related to pelvis shift problem. I have some scoliosis and the lower back is turned a bit and also the pelvis. So my problem is skeletal basically. My right leg, back side of leg above knee, if I've been driving in my car for a while starts aching, something like a cramp but not a cramping; just aching...like it needs stretching. Well, that's what helps. I do a lot of "karate" styled stretching. The more I do, the less the problem manifests itself.

Don't mean to say this is your problem; I'm just playing off your issue for anyone out there who might have similar issues...to add to the index of possibilities.

By the way, I love how you list the nutritional items in your post and then describe what that nutrient does. Your posts are always so informative."

03/31/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Dave...I always appreciate comments and new ideas -- thanks for your input.

Well, my strange hip problem appears to be rapidly receding. I seems to be clear of the shooting pains now although the compression feeling in the left hip region is still there(but fading too). I doubled my dose of Organic Brewer's Yeast a couple of days ago to two tablespoons and this seems to have greatly helped. Brewer's Yeast contains all sorts of other heavyweight nutrient goodies besides the B vitamins including Selenium, Coenzyme Q10 and beta glucan. And Brewer's Yeast is cheap as well as natural.

I also sometimes get the leg cramps that you mention -- at night mostly -- and I know that this problem for me is mainly due to a lack of potassium/magnesium. I usually get the leg cramps after taking turpentine or Makabuhay(Tinospora cordifolia) because these two protocols have diuretic action -- they remove water and minerals from the body and I always forget to add minerals into these protocols.

I always read your comments on using Colloidal Silver. This is a most useful protocol for any blood infections like you have said. I haven't been able to find any CS in the Philippines yet but I will probably be buying some again off the internet soon. For now, I just rely on nutrients like Lugol's Iodine, Methylene Blue, Borax, Hydrogen Peroxide, Turpentine, DMSO etc against the various different types of blood born infections.

I am also looking to start taking enemas regularly for the first time and have been studying them recently. The reason for this new interest is that I have seen the amazing benefits and results -- first hand -- on the autism site that I'm involved with at the moment. The kids are taking enemas on a daily basis and their health is undoubtedly improving rapidly. The coffee enema is a must to clear out all the poisons from my liver and body. Then there is the soda enema, the milk and salt enema(gets rid of excess mucus from the intestines), the MMS enema(parasites), the Iodine enema, the turpentine enema(with soap) etc -- I expect to be having hours of fun experimenting with my new enema kit and Lord only knows what sort of "rust" is going to come tumbling out of my old back pipe...!!"

03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again Bill,

Thank you for the update on the "hip" issue.

About the enemas .... Dr. Nick Gonzales (MD) in Manhattan, the renowned cancer doctor, has enemas as a major part of his anti cancer protocol. That comes from his mentor under whom he studies; Dr William Kelley (who was a dentist but developed Dr Beard's ideas about the use of the enzyme "pancreatin"...). But his are all coffee enemas so interesting the many variations you are going to use. Looking forward to the outcome.

Your student,

dave"

04/01/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Dave...Dr William Kelly was very successful against cancer and Nick Gonzales has been just as succesful. I read somewhere that in Nick's Metabolic Protocol for cancer, his patients take between 150 to 170 pills a day, as well as diet, enemas etc. In Max Gerson's cancer protocol, his cure appeared to be almost solely based on defending the liver at all costs -- by getting all the poisons and toxins out of the body as fast as possible using both the coffee enemas and castor oil laxatives at the same time (thus avoiding re-absorption and redistribution of both cancer toxins and heavy metals via the colon). For each cancer patient (all of them usually with Stage 4 cancer where the doctors had already given up hope), Gerson gave them 4 enemas a day and 4 enemas during the sleeping hours. That's 8 enemas every 24 hours!! Interestingly, Max Gerson originally started curing people of TB in 1928 with this protocol. Then, so the story goes, someone aproached him desperate to try his therapy for someone in the familly with cancer in the 1930s and his protocol worked -- and the rest is history.

Gerson's strategy of always protecting the liver is therefore pretty logical. Walter Last has written about pleomorphic microbes and describes his own belief that, especially in chronic autoimmune diseases, we have a sludge build-up in our blood(as we get older) that cannot be cleared -- so it never goes away but just keeps building up. It is here that this sludge -- which contains bits of proteins, DNA and RNA -- can suddenly develop on their own to become viruses. Depending on the state of the body at the time, these new dangerous pathogens will simply adapt and change into viruses, bacteria or fungus as their living medium(the host body) demands and end up causing or contributing to our vast array of idiopathic and autoimmune diseases that we have today. See Walter Last's detailed article here.

So this is where protease enzymes and other useful and helpful liver protocols(such as the coffee enema, ALA, Milk Thistle, Selenium, MSM etc) will help to clear these toxins, heavy metals, proteins and sludge from the blood.

Doctors are completely unable to cure autoimmune diseases because they think like this: One Disease -- One Germ -- One Cure. How wrong or dumb can they be ? Their strategy and treatment for any chronic auto-immune disease is always palliative -- just treat the symptoms. So its a fail for them in my book.

That's why treatments like CS or MMS or Hydrogen Peroxide are so useful -- they kill a wide range of pathogens in the blood.

Of all the high, respected professions in this world, I find it most peculiar that being a doctor is NOT a performance related profession (in terms of lives saved or improved). If modern medicine were indeed performance related then I'm pretty sure that there would be alot of doctors and specialists who would be jobless out on the street mumbling, "...But I was following the Standard of Care Manual...Honest!! ...And they still died!! ". I guess doctoring is no longer a free-thinking, common sense profession anymore. And, of course, DO NO HARM doesn't enter into any part of the equation now where another drug sale is involved.

Sorry, ranting a bit..."

03/30/2014: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Ashli,

I am sorry to hear about your baby's severe respiratory symptoms! Did this begin with a change in diet, a new pet, an illness? If breastfeeding, have you tried dietary changes? If formula feeding, have you changed formulas?

Perhaps you already are, but I would avoid all dairy products for your child until this issue is resolved. (and for you, if you are still breastfeeding.)

Does your child have any other health problems?

There are a few things I would consider trying if this were my child.

Nettle tea - steep the tea bag or leaves for 15 minutes (off heat) and sweeten (not with honey.) If he could take in a couple of Tablespoons two or three times a day, that may help with this if it is allergy related. Make a new batch every other day.

My new favorite thing for a cough in my family is to use colloidal silver in a nebulizer a few times a day. I have never done it with one that young, but my two year old has done it. You can also put a couple of drops of colloidal silver in the nose a few times a day, though this may sting. I have used 10ppm in the nebulizer and the nose. For good measure, I would put a couple of drops in each ear a couple of times a day, too.

Heritage Essential Oils has a great oil blend called, "Lung Healing." I have used an essential oil nebulizer in a child's room at night for cough and congestion.

I hope you find your solution soon. Please do keep us posted!

Slippery Elm powder is a powder made from the bark of a Slippery Elm tree. It is very nutritious and healing to the digestive tract. It is native to North America, so I am not sure how you would get it in Nigeria. I am afraid the milk and banana without the slippery elm powder would not be effective. Slippery Elm Bark powder is a little expensive but a little goes a long way. I have found it to be wonderful for issues in the digestive system.

03/28/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Juliana...I had bunions on both feet for many years and it wasn't till I came to the Philippines that I got rid of them completely. I had two large bunions, one on the top of my big toe and one at the base -- on both feet.

Doctors seem to believe that bunions are caused genetically or by rubbing on the shoe. I think this is bunk. Bunions are caused by deep-seated subdermal fungal/bacterial infestations in these regions. I also had very hard and unusual callous build up all around the back of my heels. And when you think about it, a foot inside a shoe wearing socks etc is a prime region for sweat build up and infections.

What's more, when I came to the Philippines and wore simple sandals and flip-flops every day (not shoes) my bunions still did not improve.

The fastest way to get rid of bunions/hard skin build-up on the feet is to first shave these regions down to the normal skin if you can and then apply a disinfectant like iodine to get rid of any discreet fungal/bacterial infections sub-dermally.

I would also not recommend topical application of lugol's iodine alone. Only about 4%-8% of the iodine is absorbed into the skin this way. But if you use a 50-50 mix of one teaspoon of 70% DMSO(Dimethyl-sulfoxide) and one teaspoon lugol's iodine on the shaved bunion regions, you will get much faster results because of the penetrative and transdermal carrier abilities of DMSO. In other words DMSO carries much more iodine into the skin transdermally giving you faster and quicker outcomes. DMSO is also an anti-inflammatory and will reduce the pain. Result: All bunion pathogens killed with no more bunion formation thereafter. "

03/30/2014: Happy from Up The Creek In WVa, US: "Juliana & Bill; I have no experience treating foot calluses, [= bunions ?] but I found this nifty, simple, cure on earthclinic.com at Vitamin A cure for bunions by Joyce from Tennessee. She quotes Dr. Jonathin Wright's research."

08/04/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn: "Hi Annabelle, if your IBS has been a lifelong problem, try eliminating bleached flour from your foods - go with whole grain cereals and breads & pastas - or least unbleached flour. Eliminating bleached flour got rid of my lifelong digestive complaints - but whole grains also increases fiber in your diet and eliminates the constipation problems. Also when you cook beans (dry) add l/4 tsp. of ground ginger to a pound of beans. You won't taste the ginger but you will also have less gas. If you continue to have the gas/bloating on whole grains, you might need to be checked out for gluten intolerance. Of course you can check that out for yourself by leaving all all wheat products and see if it makes a difference."

03/30/2014: Whisperingsage from Northeastern California: "Another help for the beans is to soak them 2-3 days. Rinse and refill water each day. All seeds and beans have phytic acid, and antienzyme chemicals that prevent sprouting except for ideal circumstances- this is why we can eliminate some of these antinutrients by soaking."

[YEA]  03/30/2014: Momto2 from Mn: "I was diagnosed in 2010 with diverticulitis. In 2011 I had a flare up and was told (by a separate doctor that had diagnosed me) that flare ups should not be happening, and if I had another it meant surgery. Well, that scared the life out of me so in 2013 when I had another flare up I saw yet another doctor. She also mentioned surgery. All 3 times I had the Cipro/Flagyl combo and hated the way they made me feel and the metallic taste. I had my 4th flare start last week and was adamant not to see a doctor nor hear the word "surgery". I started to research to see what my alternatives were and came upon this site. After reading about Aloe and Papaya I decided I would try that and if it didn't work I would (reluctantly) make an appointment to go in.

I bought Aloe Vera caps and Papaya with Mint; within one day I was already seeing improvement and now I am on my third day and although I know I am not 100% feeling better, I am 100% certain I will not be going to see a doctor to get antibiotics. I am thrilled beyond belief and so thankful to have found the feedback I found on this site.

I am going to stay on a daily regimen of Aloe Vera to see if I can remain free of attacks, but glad to know I have alternatives to antibiotics."

03/30/2014: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand: "Low temperature may be low thyroid functions. There are 3 supplements which increases metabolism, logol's iodine, 2 mg dose of lithium, and 400 mcg of selenium yeast. Lysine doesn't increase potency of other drugs since most people are deficient anyway. But low immune system for most people besides lysine are zinc and threonine. The thinking as why lysine increases potency had a lot to do with helping the immune system more then potency. The lithium is ideally taken at night as it makes a person sleepy as same as lugol's iodine. The infected tooth oregano is too irritating I would try clove oil as it is traditionally used it tooth problems is better. Check saliva pH it maybe below 6.5 which make tooth easily infected. To alkalize saliva, would try potassium citrate.

For kidney pain, a simple remedy is lime or lemon juice as citrates remove calcium deposits that causes cyst which causes pain. Another cause is uric acid from alcohol and fructose in fruits and honey and wine.

11/04/2008: Jessica from St. Louis, MO U.S.A.: "Actually, if you take acidophilus while on antibiotics, the antibiotics will kill the bacteria in the supplement you are taking and you just wasted your money. It's best to wait one week after you end your prescribed antibiotics to begin a pro-biotic.

Three drops of oil of oregano (a natural anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal) from a tincture three to four times a day and 1200 mg of cranberry (which keeps the infection from spreading) in the morning and no-sugar-added cranberry juice at night will help."

01/20/2009: Sarah from Portland, OR: "Actually it is good to take acidophilus when taking antibiotics. just be sure to take the acidophilus 2 - 3 hours after taking the antibiotic because yes the antibiotic will kill the aciophilus if taken at the same time. waiting 2-3 hours after will replenish the good bacteria in your system that the antibiotics kill as well as the bad bacteria. Doing this will speed healing time. It is also good to continue the acidophilus a few days after ending the antibiotics."

03/08/2009: Tiffany from Los Angeles, CA: "No holistic treatment of a bacterial infection is complete without probiotics. Using a natural antibiotic can kill the bacteria causing the symptoms, but without repopulating the body with it's greatest natural defenders, probiotics, you haven't healed the underlying problem of bacterial imbalance (too many pathogenic colonies, not enough beneficial ones).

It is in fact a good idea to take probiotics concurrently with antibiotics. Doing so has been shown in clinical studies to reduce the incidence of negative side effects, such as diarrhea. I would continue probiotic treatment for at least two weeks after antibiotics, as your beneficial bacteria are 70% of your immune system and absolutely essential to your body's ability to digest food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste. If you are having any symptoms of indigestion (gas, bloating, belching, constipation, diarrhea), probiotics are in order.

Like most things, not all probiotics are created equal. While acidophilus is very aggressive toward pathogens, a multi-strain probiotic will provide even more benefit. Your body is home to innumerable strains of bacteria. Also, a symbiotic, or a supplement in which the probiotics are still attached in an organic bond with the medium (food) they have cultured, will provide the most benefit as these bacteria are stabilized by that organic bond and have easy access to all the fiber they need in order to colonize successfully. These are available in ultra-potent yogurt-like drinks (sold as a supplement) and also pill form. Feel free to email me if you are interested in specific products which fit into this category.

Be good to your bugs!"

08/12/2009: Erin from Naperville, Illinois: "Actually, Sarah is right. You should take acidophilus while taking an antibiotic either in the form of yogurt or a probiotic. While the antibiotic does kill good and bad bacteria, you need to keep replenishing your good bacteria to prevent getting a secondary infection. With no good bacteria whatsoever in your system, you are wide open to any infection. Whenever I take an antibiotic, I always have to take a cup of yogurt daily with it or I will end up another, often worse, infection somewhere else."

[YEA]  01/19/2011: Jaclyn from Clarkston, Michigan: "Worked amazingly. Well into bladder infection, because I was trying cranberry pills and ACV. I added oil of oregano, and it started to ease up, but definitely still there. I got Acidophilus and Garlic and started taking those, and my bladder infection is GONE."

02/10/2012: Marina from Chicago, Il: "I am responding to a general thread on bladder infections and uti- to say that we keep coconut oil ovules made with a drop of lavender essential oil in our women's health care clinic, and they seem to knock out bladder infections - best to address at the earliest symptom, which is generally a slight burning upon urination. Taking a few glassfuls of water to which 1 t. of cranberry concentrate (unsweetened) is added is also a helpful adjunct to this treatment- along with rest!"

03/30/2014: Deb from British Columbia, Canada: "I have had UTI's after sex since menopause and I ALWAYS pee after sex so it isn't that which has caused it. I drink lots of water, have tried cranberry juice, and always end up having to get antibiotics. I also am obviously not on contraception so that does not cause it. My Mom mentioned a friend of hers who had terrible UTI's constantly and acidophilus cleared it up within days. So I will be trying this soon and see if it works for me."

01/12/2014: Natty from England, Uk: "Any luck with the castor oil for Pterygium? Anyone kindly give us some outcome with using the Castor Oil? I was diagnosed with Pterygium this week, I have been searching online as there is not cure for Pterygium, only surgery wise.

I am heartbroken and had been in tears over this. I am only 30 years old female, my GP didn't tell me much about it and nothing to worry about until it effected my vision and just send me away. I am seeing another doctor next week and as I want another second opinion.

So I have been using the pure castor oil since yesterday, twice a day into my eye, worth a try and see for the next two weeks or so. If that doesn't work, I am going to try the Apple Cider Vinegar route. If that doesn't work, then I am going to think about having surgery before it's get too serious.

Anyone write any successes stories on here, I would love to hear from you. Anyone know any decent eye doctor in England? Anyone had surgery in England for Pterygium?

02/27/2014: Elle from New Zealand: "Hi. I'm in my 30's too and mine is progressively getting bigger.

The castor oil didn't make mine go away but does seem to make it lighter. I fully intend to try ACV. All the health professionals I have spoken to all say its tied up with the liver! And that it's an underlying issue. I thought my liver was fine although I do like to have a couple of drinks every day which is hard to give up.

The thought of surgery terrifies me! I will update if ACV works at all. I have also tried colloidal silver in the eyes to no avail :("

03/29/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hey there Larry,

Re: Relationship of telomeres and eczema

I'd be surprised if a relationship were found between a chromosome's telomeres and eczema. Maybe I'm confused on what you are referencing. Sorry if I am.

But since creams haven't helped you, there is a lot on Earth Clinic on what might be causing severe eczema. Look under "Ailments" and you'll find ideas.

One thing that I'm impressed with on calming an acidic system is papaya...the fruit. I've found it helps with digestion and better skin. You can take the inside skin of the papaya and coat the surface of the skin and that is a soothing "facial." There are some good sites on papaya by a Google search.

Also, have you tried an Earth Clinic favorite for alkalizing....baking soda in water on empty stomach? A third teaspoon in a glass of water can work wonders. And of course by way of diet: I'd get OFF coffee, and other acidic products for a month to test whether going "acid free" as much as possible could help.

Also, back to a useful cream; once when I had a pretty severe case of scalp and facial eczema I found an aloe vera cream helped. I reasoned that the eczema was like a burn to the skin and so I treated it with an anti burn topical. Really turned my condition around."

03/29/2014: Mike62 from Denver: "Larry: One of the best longevity experts took an exclusive telomere lengthening supplement made from astagalus for two years.

Re son with digestive problems:

Test Papaya. Just a quarter teaspoon on end of spoon to start with. Papaya is magic for digestive problems."

03/29/2014: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Elena,

I am sorry your little one is suffering this way!

The first thing that comes to my mind is slippery elm bark. It is nutritious and healing to the digestive tract. If he can swallow capsules, you can give it to him that way. I mix a teaspoon with some water or mix it in oatmeal and sweeten it. My children think this is awful, though. (But they will admit that it helps. :) )

Activated charcoal is also helpful to the digestive tract. It is anti-inflammatory and will draw out toxins, bacteria, etc. He could try tablets (swallow or chew) or put 1/4 teaspoon in some water and drink it. Do not take within 2 hours of medication. One tablet or 1/4 teaspoon once a day. It will make the stool dark.

Kefir would also be good for healing in his gut.

Some kind of detoxifying bath would be good. You could do epsom salt or baking soda bath a few times a week. (1 cup of either in a warm bath for 20 minutes.)

If he would drink some fresh lemon juice in his water, that may be helpful. (You could add a bit of natural sweetener, also, to make it more palatable.) This would be helpful for the ph of the body. You might even check his ph with ph test strips and see if he is acidic. There is a lot of information on this site about that.

Avacados are nutritious and pretty gentle. Also, extra virgin coconut oil would be good in his diet. Some find bananas helpful. (If he doesn't like bananas, you could put them in a kefir smoothie.)

Is gut flora imbalance a possibility? (from antibiotic use.) Are parasites a possibility?

Please keep us posted.

~Mama to Many~"

03/29/2014: Bill from San Fenando, Philippines: "Hi Elena...I think that your son has candida and possibly other pathogenic infections in his intestinal tract. Esophigitis, stomach problems and allergy symptoms are well known to be associated with candida as the cause. If your son has a white tongue(instead of a healthy pink tongue) this is another positive indication for candida.

To check your son for candida you can also do this simple questionnaire:

Online Candida Questionnaire

Unfortunately, doctor's tests are not very accurate at diagnosing candida imbalance or dominance from just stool or urine tests.

There is an effective child's protocol for candida that Walter Last recommends for getting rid of parasites as well as candida -- here is the link to the protocol:

Walter Last's Child Candida Protocol

Also, I would avoid giving your son any antibiotics whatsoever. Antibiotics will make the candida condition much more virulent and your son's condition will just get worse and spread. See this link.

For more explanations concerning Walter Last's approach on how to get rid of candida/parasites -- see this link.

I have been working with a private autism group of parents and they have been using Walter Last's Protocol(including turpentine) on their children with serious ASD disorders with some remarkable physical and mental improvements. Children with autism are always usually heavily infected with parasites, candida and other associated bacteria. It is the waste toxins from these pathogens -- particularly from candida -- that cause these mental and physical problems."

09/05/2013: Carly from Wa, Usa: "Hi Robert Henry,

It is so good to hear from you.... Glad you are doing well. I always enjoy your posts. Now I want some apple sauce.... Darn it! ;-) I will have to look into what a rife machine is. I know I read about it a while back, but forget now what exactly one is / does. Happy Fall to you and yours!"

03/29/2014: Anthony from Philadelphia: "Hi Henry,

how long have you been using the rife machine? I have c.diff and SIBO- small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. Do you think this would help? I have food allergies, colitis, and skin sissies from the all. I'm not sure if the investment is worth it? Is this machine expensive? Thank you in advance!"

03/29/2014: Robert Henry from Ten Mile , Tn: "HI U ATHONY , , , , , , , , , , At my age, I'm just taking one terrible trouble at a time. Right now I 've got a crushed T 12 vertebrae that is consuming all my attention. I bought a Rife machine after I had defeated lymphoma and figured cancer would be back for a visit. A broke back came first.

Don't know all your health problems and am not an expert. Seems to me that you should probably look at cleaning up your innards before you take on a Rife machine. Yep, it's expensive as all get out. My suggestion is to buy Dr Hulda Clark's book and clean up your body in the order she suggests.

My latest project is building Crappie Condo's from bamboo cane soes we can fill our freezers with fish. Hell to be poor, living off the land, and jus barely getting by. If you are living on store bought stuff then that is the reason you have health problems. First thing to do is bake your own bread. Bread is no longer bread, it is a chemical compound that has weight and takes up space. It was once called matter. Now it is called bread.

I have researched why I have bone problems and it is due to taking a Big Pharma drug for 15 years. Will know better in the next life.

I have a similar hip issue; mine is related to pelvis shift problem. I have some scoliosis and the lower back is turned a bit and also the pelvis. So my problem is skeletal basically. My right leg, back side of leg above knee, if I've been driving in my car for a while starts aching, something like a cramp but not a cramping; just aching...like it needs stretching. Well, that's what helps. I do a lot of "karate" styled stretching. The more I do, the less the problem manifests itself.

Don't mean to say this is your problem; I'm just playing off your issue for anyone out there who might have similar issues...to add to the index of possibilities.

By the way, I love how you list the nutritional items in your post and then describe what that nutrient does. Your posts are always so informative."

03/31/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Dave...I always appreciate comments and new ideas -- thanks for your input.

Well, my strange hip problem appears to be rapidly receding. I seems to be clear of the shooting pains now although the compression feeling in the left hip region is still there(but fading too). I doubled my dose of Organic Brewer's Yeast a couple of days ago to two tablespoons and this seems to have greatly helped. Brewer's Yeast contains all sorts of other heavyweight nutrient goodies besides the B vitamins including Selenium, Coenzyme Q10 and beta glucan. And Brewer's Yeast is cheap as well as natural.

I also sometimes get the leg cramps that you mention -- at night mostly -- and I know that this problem for me is mainly due to a lack of potassium/magnesium. I usually get the leg cramps after taking turpentine or Makabuhay(Tinospora cordifolia) because these two protocols have diuretic action -- they remove water and minerals from the body and I always forget to add minerals into these protocols.

I always read your comments on using Colloidal Silver. This is a most useful protocol for any blood infections like you have said. I haven't been able to find any CS in the Philippines yet but I will probably be buying some again off the internet soon. For now, I just rely on nutrients like Lugol's Iodine, Methylene Blue, Borax, Hydrogen Peroxide, Turpentine, DMSO etc against the various different types of blood born infections.

I am also looking to start taking enemas regularly for the first time and have been studying them recently. The reason for this new interest is that I have seen the amazing benefits and results -- first hand -- on the autism site that I'm involved with at the moment. The kids are taking enemas on a daily basis and their health is undoubtedly improving rapidly. The coffee enema is a must to clear out all the poisons from my liver and body. Then there is the soda enema, the milk and salt enema(gets rid of excess mucus from the intestines), the MMS enema(parasites), the Iodine enema, the turpentine enema(with soap) etc -- I expect to be having hours of fun experimenting with my new enema kit and Lord only knows what sort of "rust" is going to come tumbling out of my old back pipe...!!"

03/31/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again Bill,

Thank you for the update on the "hip" issue.

About the enemas .... Dr. Nick Gonzales (MD) in Manhattan, the renowned cancer doctor, has enemas as a major part of his anti cancer protocol. That comes from his mentor under whom he studies; Dr William Kelley (who was a dentist but developed Dr Beard's ideas about the use of the enzyme "pancreatin"...). But his are all coffee enemas so interesting the many variations you are going to use. Looking forward to the outcome.

Your student,

dave"

04/01/2014: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Dave...Dr William Kelly was very successful against cancer and Nick Gonzales has been just as succesful. I read somewhere that in Nick's Metabolic Protocol for cancer, his patients take between 150 to 170 pills a day, as well as diet, enemas etc. In Max Gerson's cancer protocol, his cure appeared to be almost solely based on defending the liver at all costs -- by getting all the poisons and toxins out of the body as fast as possible using both the coffee enemas and castor oil laxatives at the same time (thus avoiding re-absorption and redistribution of both cancer toxins and heavy metals via the colon). For each cancer patient (all of them usually with Stage 4 cancer where the doctors had already given up hope), Gerson gave them 4 enemas a day and 4 enemas during the sleeping hours. That's 8 enemas every 24 hours!! Interestingly, Max Gerson originally started curing people of TB in 1928 with this protocol. Then, so the story goes, someone aproached him desperate to try his therapy for someone in the familly with cancer in the 1930s and his protocol worked -- and the rest is history.

Gerson's strategy of always protecting the liver is therefore pretty logical. Walter Last has written about pleomorphic microbes and describes his own belief that, especially in chronic autoimmune diseases, we have a sludge build-up in our blood(as we get older) that cannot be cleared -- so it never goes away but just keeps building up. It is here that this sludge -- which contains bits of proteins, DNA and RNA -- can suddenly develop on their own to become viruses. Depending on the state of the body at the time, these new dangerous pathogens will simply adapt and change into viruses, bacteria or fungus as their living medium(the host body) demands and end up causing or contributing to our vast array of idiopathic and autoimmune diseases that we have today. See Walter Last's detailed article here.

So this is where protease enzymes and other useful and helpful liver protocols(such as the coffee enema, ALA, Milk Thistle, Selenium, MSM etc) will help to clear these toxins, heavy metals, proteins and sludge from the blood.

Doctors are completely unable to cure autoimmune diseases because they think like this: One Disease -- One Germ -- One Cure. How wrong or dumb can they be ? Their strategy and treatment for any chronic auto-immune disease is always palliative -- just treat the symptoms. So its a fail for them in my book.

That's why treatments like CS or MMS or Hydrogen Peroxide are so useful -- they kill a wide range of pathogens in the blood.

Of all the high, respected professions in this world, I find it most peculiar that being a doctor is NOT a performance related profession (in terms of lives saved or improved). If modern medicine were indeed performance related then I'm pretty sure that there would be alot of doctors and specialists who would be jobless out on the street mumbling, "...But I was following the Standard of Care Manual...Honest!! ...And they still died!! ". I guess doctoring is no longer a free-thinking, common sense profession anymore. And, of course, DO NO HARM doesn't enter into any part of the equation now where another drug sale is involved.

Sorry, ranting a bit..."

12/10/2010: Nydad from Deer Park, New York: "Hi Lavoras.. My son has been diagnosed with EE as well less than a year ago and we are using prevacid and going through alternative route for a while now. We did not see much improvment but still searching for the right option. Can you share your experience with Chinese medicine as we are trying to go that route ourselves. Thank you."

03/29/2014: Elena from Pa: "Hi, my son is 7 he has been struggling all his life with stomach problems as a baby he didn't gain weight and he rejected a lot of foods. He has a scope and other tests. Finally a blood test showed this is what he has. The Dr is gonna another scope to do biopsys. My son was tested for allergies and he has several, cinnamon, turkey, carrots, cantalope. Oranges and orange juice really hurt him. I! Trying to find receipts for him. And other medicines. He won't touch the ginger tea at all. I'm starting to eliminate foods. Any suggestions that may bring to his Dr and see what he says. By the way his Dr is not one to just put him on meds. Any websites you may have to help, or any advice. Thank you"

03/29/2014: Mike62 from Denver, CO: "Elena: Colostrum 21oz jar is best."

03/29/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Elena,

Re son with digestive problems:

Test Papaya. Just a quarter teaspoon on end of spoon to start with. Papaya is magic for digestive problems."

03/29/2014: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Elena,

I am sorry your little one is suffering this way!

The first thing that comes to my mind is slippery elm bark. It is nutritious and healing to the digestive tract. If he can swallow capsules, you can give it to him that way. I mix a teaspoon with some water or mix it in oatmeal and sweeten it. My children think this is awful, though. (But they will admit that it helps. :) )

Activated charcoal is also helpful to the digestive tract. It is anti-inflammatory and will draw out toxins, bacteria, etc. He could try tablets (swallow or chew) or put 1/4 teaspoon in some water and drink it. Do not take within 2 hours of medication. One tablet or 1/4 teaspoon once a day. It will make the stool dark.

Kefir would also be good for healing in his gut.

Some kind of detoxifying bath would be good. You could do epsom salt or baking soda bath a few times a week. (1 cup of either in a warm bath for 20 minutes.)

If he would drink some fresh lemon juice in his water, that may be helpful. (You could add a bit of natural sweetener, also, to make it more palatable.) This would be helpful for the ph of the body. You might even check his ph with ph test strips and see if he is acidic. There is a lot of information on this site about that.

Avacados are nutritious and pretty gentle. Also, extra virgin coconut oil would be good in his diet. Some find bananas helpful. (If he doesn't like bananas, you could put them in a kefir smoothie.)

Is gut flora imbalance a possibility? (from antibiotic use.) Are parasites a possibility?

Please keep us posted.

03/29/2014: Bill from San Fenando, Philippines: "Hi Elena...I think that your son has candida and possibly other pathogenic infections in his intestinal tract. Esophigitis, stomach problems and allergy symptoms are well known to be associated with candida as the cause. If your son has a white tongue(instead of a healthy pink tongue) this is another positive indication for candida.

To check your son for candida you can also do this simple questionnaire:

Online Candida Questionnaire

Unfortunately, doctor's tests are not very accurate at diagnosing candida imbalance or dominance from just stool or urine tests.

There is an effective child's protocol for candida that Walter Last recommends for getting rid of parasites as well as candida -- here is the link to the protocol:

Walter Last's Child Candida Protocol

Also, I would avoid giving your son any antibiotics whatsoever. Antibiotics will make the candida condition much more virulent and your son's condition will just get worse and spread. See this link.

For more explanations concerning Walter Last's approach on how to get rid of candida/parasites -- see this link.

I have been working with a private autism group of parents and they have been using Walter Last's Protocol(including turpentine) on their children with serious ASD disorders with some remarkable physical and mental improvements. Children with autism are always usually heavily infected with parasites, candida and other associated bacteria. It is the waste toxins from these pathogens -- particularly from candida -- that cause these mental and physical problems."

03/29/2014: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Susan,

The first two things that come to my mind would be epsom salt baths and turmeric.

You can put 1 -2 cups epsom salt in a bath. Your body will absorb the magnesium.

Turmeric is a wonderful anti-inflammatory and therefore is often helpful for pain. You can take 4 capsules a few times a day or even more often. I once took 4 capsules every two hours for a still neck and it did help the pain. Take it with plenty of water and know that it can be constipating. (Epsom salt baths, on the other hand, can have a laxative effect.)

Drink plenty of water. Pain is worse when you are dehydrated. Adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to each glass of water may be helpful for your pain.

Chamomile tea also can have a soothing effect.

Please keep us posted. I hope you will be able to manage your pain with these or other methods!
