Re: Turmeric for Hidradenitis Suppurative Boils
15 days agoDear Betsy,
You are already doing so many things that I would have suggested!
It seems likely that you need to address this with internal and external remedies. The Manuka Honey ointment sounds like a good plan.
You could up your turmeric dosage and take it with a wee bit of black pepper as that helps to make it work better. I would try a teaspoon of turmeric 4 times a day.
I have found that certain dietary changes are necessary to clear up stubborn skin issues. Specifically, no sugar or processed foods. Adding in kefir is also helpful. A collagen supplement will help your body get the building blocks for repair.
If you find it doesn't seem to want to heal up in a couple of weeks I would get a medical opinion. If your doctor wants you to get a mammogram, you do have the option to get an ultrasound instead. I have used Herscan. They go to many states in a mobile unit to do breast ultrasound. I paid out of pocket to do this when my doctor really wanted me to get a mammogram, which I have been able to avoid so far. The ultrasound is actually what they do if they find a problem on a mammogram, so it is nice to skip that first step.
Let me know how it goes!

16 days agoHi again, Mark.
I forgot to mention that another important function of berberine is that it can breakdown the biofilms that are protecting the unhealthful bacteria in the gut. So berberine should potentially be started before any potential colon cleanse is initiated to allow the berberine time to breakdown those biofilms.

16 days agoHi Mark,
Berberine will help restore proper carbohydrate and glucose /sugar metabolism. You would need something along the line of a colon cleanse for what you are describing.

Re: Borax for 20 Year Old Cat?
16 days agoIf an animal needs something, they will recognize it when it's present. Offer her a choice of waters. One plain, one distilled, one plain with a tiny bit of borax and one distilled with a tiny bit of borax.
You can do the same with ACV or herbs or whatever. Just make sure the bowls are properly labeled so you know which is which. And don't let your monkey mind interfere or tell you that more is better. Let her tell you that. If she prefers the borax (or ACV or whatever), increase by tiny amounts. And watch out for signs that it's "better than nothing" rather than "the thing she needs". It may not be exactly what she needs but, rather, merely something that contains something the body can use. Whether for whatever your monkey mind is trying to affect or for something else.
The best thing you can do is pay attention - I.e. keep your puny, human, monkey mind out of the equation as much as possible and let the animal's own body do all of the talking.
Confinement is the worst thing about keeping "pets". It prevents them from hunting for what they need, leaving them at the mercy of the stupid, puny monkey mind of man.
Re: Carbohydrate/Glucose/Sugar Metabolism Restoration
16 days agoHi Art,
Does berberine clean out the bowels so food won't be fermented anymore?
In how many days will one be able to digest carbs again after taking berberine?
When can one stop taking berberine, or is this a lifelong thing?
Which brand and how much per day do you recommend?
Thank you
A Bar of Soap for Restless Legs Syndrome
16 days agoA bar of soap doesn't just sit there, being a bar of soap. It is constantly acting within and reacting TO the elements by which it is surrounded. The only mystery is man's lack of interest in its constantly changing state of being.
Soap is a living organism. Constantly "breathing", aging, regenerating, disintegrating and rearranging itself, becoming and unbecoming a huge variety of other "things". Other compounds. And it never stops. It may rest in the absence of other things with which to interact chemically but it doesn't "die". It simply waits. Plus it has other variables like temperature and humidity with which it can play and interact, while it's waiting.
Not all phases are pleasant but they ARE all soap. It doesn't stop being soap just because it changes to a form you don't like. It might become a soap you don't want or understand how it could be USED - given man's lack of interest in it - but it will still be soap.
DE for Pets
16 days agoI have been using organic food grade diatomaceous earth for years now. (diatamaceousearth.com) The first kitty that adopted us "Pretty" was a beautiful calico covered with fleas. I gave her a dry bath with DE avoiding her eyes. I also put it into her wet food (to kill the eggs inside) and shook it in the dry. She completely recovered from them and was a wonderful pet for years. DE is also good for US, killing parasites and containing silicon. It also is good for gardening and keeping away ants.

16 days agoAnkle and Toe gout gone with internal and external use of ACV
Recently, I had severe ankle pain on my left foot. Pain traveled from the lower ankle bone area to the heel of the foot. Took 4 tablespoons of ACV with mother (Bragg brand) with 1/2 teaspoon of Sodium Bicarbonate (Brand Arm & Hammer) mixed with little water. This would give me in total of about 1/4 glass of mixture. Sodium Bicarbonate kills the sour taste of ACV by fuzzing and thus making it easier to drink. After drinking this 1/4 glass of mixture, I immediately would follow it with a full glass of water. I drank this mixture twice a day for 3 days. Once in the morning before breakfast and one before going to bed. In addition, I used paper towel soaked in ACV and placed it on the ankle and wrapped my ankle/partial foot with Cling wrap. Further, I would additionally drink 4 to 5 additional glass of water per day. I should have drunk more glasses of water to help remove uric acid quickly which causes gout. Result : Pain gone in 3 days.
Same approach I used for my toe, which occured 4 years ago. The mistake I always make is not drinking enough water. I hope this info may help some one.

16 days agoRe: Active Hidradenitis Suppurativa Lesion
16 days agoI would try putting ACV w/mother on it just to take out the redness. I would do it b/f putting the CS. When I was down in the Keys I was bitten by some kind of bug that left a huge and angry bite. It was red, swollen, and hard. I soaked some tissues with ACV and held it there until the pain went away. Next day it was no longer swollen, no longer red and starting to heal...

Re: Lecithin for Herpes AND Shingles
16 days agoRe: Turmeric for Hidradenitis Suppurative Boils
16 days agoHi Mama to Many - I'm an HS newbie. 2-1/2 years ago I had a purple and red spot on the underside of my left breast (actually on it) but it never came to a head or burst and healed on its own. At the time, I didn't give it much thought because I really didn't know what it was, thought maybe it might've been a spider bite of some sort. Fast-forward to a week ago, and I discovered a new lesion in the very same spot as the one before, but this time it did come to a head and burst with a small amount of blood and pus. It's no longer draining or weeping. I've tried a little bit of everything to help heal it, but I feel like after a week I should be further along than I am, although I have always been slow to heal. So far, I have tried applying castor oil topically, colloidal silver gel, homemade 10 ppm colloidal silver spray, 3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder from the grocery store in 6 oz of water twice daily, zinc tablets, 1000 mg lysine twice daily, and 500 mg oil of oregano soft gels. Because of its location, I opted not to use a bandage. The only pain I have is when I move the wrong way or sleep with my arm draped over my bosom. I've just ordered some manuka honey ointment to try. Instinctively, I feel like it needs a topical ointment of some sort to speed the healing process and close the “crater.” It's very purplish and worrisome. Can you suggest anything else I could try? Thanks!
