Re: Remedies for Pulmonary Fibrosis
24 days agoHi Chris,
Here's what I did.
I took Zymessence because it was the most cost effective systemic enzyme I could find, and I could take only one as compared to several in a single dose, NAC, and whatever herbal supplement to help clear my lungs, but I only took two bottles of that. Or in the beginning I'd take serrapeptase and/or natto instead of the Zymessence. I was diagnosed in 2013. Used to have trouble falling asleep because of the wheezing, used to cough all the time. Now I rarely cough, rarely hear myself wheezing, and may use my inhaler once a month if the humidity is high, but then I was also diagnosed with asthma before the IPF. I don't take the supplements that often any more, maybe a couple of times a week, although I probably should if I'm going to follow the protocol correctly. Dr. William Wong says it'll come back if you stop.

25 days agoRight Atrium 50% Enlarged - Questions for Art
25 days agoHi Brian,
When I started researching aortic aneurysm, human studies were minimal so I had to rely on animal studies, which is hardly ideal, but all I had to go on. It fortunately worked out for Avery.
One commonality between an aortic aneurysm and enlarged atrium is high blood pressure as a potential cause or contributing factor. You didn't mention if you have high blood pressure or not, but making sure your blood pressure is very well controlled is very important. In any case your doctor's are likely to check both your heart and lungs as both can be contributing factors also. Once they determine the cause, if they haven't already, they will know better how best to proceed. So the causes for an enlarged atrium can be different than for an aortic aneurysm.
The arrythmia issues present a significant complication and this just further points to your doctors erring on the side of caution in your case.
As far as the supplements Avery used, they were all common and generally considered healthful for the heart, while having very good safety profiles. I am not a doctor and can not tell you what to use, but those supplements are definitely worth discussing with your doctors since they have very good safety profiles and are common ones, there is a very good chance that your doctor's will approve their use by you. Avery's doctor told him that only surgery can reduce the size of an aortic aneurysm, but apparently the supplements he took did.
To answer your question, I don't think supplements alone may be enough to deal with your arrythmia issues, which can be life threatening, so I would lean more toward the cardiac ablation (CA). CA also involves very significant risks, but seems less risky than just taking supplements which may help the enlarged right atrium, but not the actual arrythmia problems you are experiencing. Supplements for arrythmia would be somewhat different than the regimen that Avery used.
Please keep us updated as your doctors give you more information.

Re: Aural Hematoma in Pets
25 days agoWhat are the signs/symptoms of aural hematoma from this? I'm treating my cats mites and she does shake a bit sometimes. She did it for a good while before I realized she had something deeper that I couldn't see. I put castor oil and black started coming out. Now I clean the debris, but it just keeps coming out. She still shakes, but not nearly like before. I'm still working on getting the last bit out . First it was larger black pieces and now it's tiny bits of black. Though her ears looked clear before they were not. It was all deep in the canal.
Right Atrium 50% Enlarged - Questions for Art
25 days agoMy right atrium is 50 percent enlarged. 9 years ago my heart went into arrhythmia. It was out for 5 months. The doctor shocked it back into rhythm. It required 4shocks. I assume because it had been out of sinus rhythm for that length of time. After the 4th time and increasing Jules each time the doctor gave up. When I awoke I asked if the electrocardioversipn worked. They said no. I said, Jesus, do something. The nurse looked at the monitor and said it is in sinus rhythm. 10 days later I had to get it electrocardioverteded again. I had it electrocardioverted 2months after that and about every three months for the ensuring 9 years. The doctor wanted me on blood thinners. That didn't make sense to me so I didn't take them. Also did not take sotalol or metropolol or any rhythm meds. Also did not do the recommended ablation. Now I am scheduled for the heart ablation June 23rd 2025. 3 months ago I had a sonar scan or whatever it is called. 45 minutes of getting what looks like an ultrasound to check on a baby in the womb. Found the right atrium is 50% enlarged. Your story about the four supplement success makes me think I would rather see if that regimen would work for atrium as it did for aorta. I don't know what questions to ask but it makes sense to me that the regimen would be healing to the heart. The ablation, in my mind, has a element to it in that keeping the heart in rhythm is good for the heart. I am inclined to postpone the ablation. What would you do in my shoes and why?

Frequent UTIs Since Spinal Cord Injury in 1988
25 days agoHi KimP,
D-Mannose can act as a UTI preventative for the majority of bacterial infections. E coli. is the most common bacteria that causes UTIs.
If you drink two 500 ml bottles of D-Mannose water per week, it will act to prevent many UTIs.
Add 1.5 teaspoons of D-Mannose to a 500 ml bottle of filtered water and shake well until dissolved. Drink one bottle every three or four days.
Here is a link to a product that I have used to good effect :

Black seed oil has many benefits one being it's an anti-inflammatory and modulates the immune system. My PN is improving, although I also have hyperpigmented scaring. Also be aware that it has blood thinning properties for those who may be on blood thinners.

Re: Long Bout Of Diarrhea Resolved With Ginger Root Capsules In 3 Days

Sometimes that's a sign of stomach/gastric cancer or gastritis. I agree ginger is a miracle put here on earth, I use it but this should have a diagnosis, jmo!
Frequent UTIs Since Spinal Cord Injury in 1988
26 days ago1 dropper full Methylene Blue 0.5 AM and 1/8 heaping teaspoon each borax and baking soda PM
Good morning from Houston Texas,
I had a spinal cord injury in 1988 that caused neurogenic bladder/bowel. I self cath for the urinary condition. As I mature, UTI's are more frequent and were making me sick until I started using MB in the morning and Borax/baking soda evening. Baking soda works really well for deep heartburn/reflux so I'd prefer to not stop it. I've been doing this regime for 3 months, my urine is healthy and I've had no UTI's. I stopped the MB for a week and got sick. I don't really know what's going on, I had a sore throat for a brief moment and quite nasally so I find it quite unnerving to be walking around with a fever only. I can go to the local drug dealers office if necessary. I already went to the local urgent care and was tested for UTI, covid, flu and strep but all negative. I am insulin dependent, so I stay proactive. I was wondering if I'm using too much MB & Borax or to see if you have a better regime. I may be going overboard. As I have aged, the UTI's are now making me sicker and want to continue my regime but was wondering what you may suggest or recommend. I would prefer to continue the more holistic approach instead of endless rounds of antibiotics.

Three Month Bout Of Diarrhea Resolved With Ginger Root Capsules In Three Days
27 days agoThree Month Bout Of Diarrhea Resolved With Ginger Root Capsules In Three Days
A friend recently told me she had been having stomach upset and diarrhea for over three months making it almost impossible to leave the house during those three months and her doctor had not been able to resolve the issue. I asked her why she waited so long to mention it and she said that she was thinking that the tea she was using was going to resolve the problem, but clearly it hadn't.
I suggested she try ginger root capsules, but she said she was already taking a combination tea that contained ginger root. I asked her how long she had been taking it and she said about 2 1/2 months. I asked if she felt it was helping at all and she said the diarrhea is still ongoing. I said that would suggest that the tea is not working.
I again suggested the ginger root capsules because they should have the needed potency to help her diarrhea and stomach upset. She reluctantly agreed to try the capsules. Here is a link to the supplement I suggested she try at the label recommended dosing schedule of 2 capsules per day :

I also told her that if she didn't get relief from the diarrhea within five days she would have to go back to her doctor for more testing and diagnosis because three months of diarrhea is very unhealthful for her as it depletes the body of needed nutrients and fluids.
I didn't hear back from her for over a month so I contacted her and asked her how she was doing? She said after 2 to 3 days on the ginger root capsules her diarrhea was gone! She said she is still taking the ginger root capsules just in case. I told her it was fine because ginger root is also useful for diabetes type 2, insulin resistance, high cholesterol as well as raising HDL cholesterol and lowering triglycerides.
She said she is much better these days and able to go places again without fear of diarrhea popping up.
