11/19/2013: Megan from Horseheads, Ny: "WOW Borax. I would try it but I use baking soda already and it has made my hair grow full! Can't see that huge spot that has been there since I was a teen! Sounds like borax would have been good too. If I'm out of one I can always get the other out. Thanks for info."

11/19/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Mary, I have tried Rhodiola for anxiety and did not see any change. I do have a thought about the whole anxiety, difficulty walking issue that you may want to explore with a therapeutic massage therapist. My therapist told me that some of my muscles were out of balance, meaning one was too tight and the other too loose. It pulls the body out of balance. In my case I was hunched over, unable to straighten up fully when the attacks were at their worst. I suspect when we are out of "true" like this, it may put pressure on certain glands and cause anxiety. I am now working to unlock those tight muscles as well as do more muscle work to stay balanced."

11/19/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mary: Regular food does not provide enough nutrition for the tissues. Cells send signals to the brain via stress hormones. Cooking denatures many nutrients like B-6. B-6 activates B-1 and B-2. Conventionally grown foods lack special substances like humic/fulvic acids and xeronines. Raw food has enzymes. Organic and grass fed foods have more trace minerals. The body requires 80% carbs, 5%fiber, both insoluable and soluable, 5% oils by weight, and 10% protein. The carbs are for fuel.

11/19/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "To Mary;

Re your panic attacks...

My absolute first go-to remedy for panic attack disorders is MAGNESIUM!!!

Google: "Dr. Sircus magnesium deficiency symptoms and diagnosis" for a myriad of ailments that mag deficiency causes. Among them is panic attacks.

In fact, virtually everyone is deficient in magnesium unless on a supplement of the same. Magnesium is the King of minerals and controls much of the electrical interplay on the cellular level. The lack of mag is often associated with cardio problems and is a predictor of diabetic problems.

There are dozens of health issues relative to magnesium deficiency.

Really, this is a big deal.

Do not underestimate the power of magnesium. And....that we do NOT get enough in the diet of most every American given the state of agriculture...soil depletion.

I have seen dozens of medical problems reversed almost instantly with adequate consumption of magnesium.

Mary, am I saying that mag intake will cure your panic attacks. No, but I'd sure eliminate the low hanging fruit as a possible cause: Mag deficiency.

11/19/2013: Naz from Karachi Pakistan: "Hi there, I suffer from really bad chelitis and I feel its more than that...can u pls tell me what brand u used? also 6 capsules seem a lot...were there any side effects? Thanks! :)"

01/29/2010: Twi from Saskatoon, Sk Canada: "Thanks for your post. I went out the health food store today and purchased ACV, Molasses and cayenne with garlic capsules. Just wondering, does it matter what source the molasses comes from and do you need to drink this mixture on an empty stomach or at least well after or before a meal?

Thanks...I look forward to it's benefits
Be Well"

11/19/2013: Jb from Atlanta, GA: "Ascorbic acid is not Vit C. It is only one constituent of Vit C. Most ascorbic acid should be avoided because of inferior, adulterated composition. Instead, use a whole food form of Vit C from responsible companies. Do not waste your money on drug, grocery, Big Box store synthetic Vit C."

EC: Here's a great website to look up symptoms with key words like "tingling in one foot":

http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/tingling_in_one_foot.htm

01/05/2011: Stephanie from Eugene, Or: "This might be helpful to those experiencing tingling feet and hands. I started experiencing this in June 2010, I was also dealing with back spasms for the last two years so thought it was just stress. My MD thought I might have early signs of fibromyalgia, I read about that on the internet and found the salicylates were bad for people with fibro. I had been using the "hot patches" that you stick on your back almost daily for a couple of years, those are suppose to have salicylates in them. I stopped using them. I also had been laying on and even sleeping with a heating pad almost daily, I read that heating pads, electric blankets, etc. can disrupt a body's systems. I stopped that! I also started experiencing a painful neck, again thought it was stress.... I started doing some easy yoga neck stretches. Do not roll your neck around in a circle!! Simply slowly drop your chin to your chest and slowly raise back up, do this a few times then drop your chin again and just take deep breaths for a couple of minutes. Then slowly roll your head from the chest position to the left side and then back down, then roll to the right side.... Never forcing, breathe gently and deeply, continue a couple of minutes. I can't tell you which of the above helped or if all three but in 2 or 3 days I was feeling better and completely better in a week. I honestly think it is the neck stretching, something is bothering the nerves in my neck. If I feel is slightly coming back I do the neck stretches. I hope this is helpful to others. Good Luck"

11/19/2013: Jane from Columbus, Ohio: "The parasthesia I am experiencing is a lot worse that that.

It causes excruciating and continual pain that one never forgets for a moment as it is so odd.

Mine started when I got out of car and heard a pop in the thigh/groin area and within 20 minutes my whole foot and part of my calf went numb and has remained such for several years.

They thought it was stemming from l5 in the back where I have several herniated disc and severe stenosis after having been in over 25 car accidents (only two minor ones my fault). One was being run into at 55 mph and missing death by one second and the other was walking and being run over by a car as my worst one)..this caused continual back problems although till this last incident, my chiropractor had been abkle to help me.

I tried natural treatments and finally in desperation steroid shots which were not effective, . I was told surgery may help the leg (but not the back but leg is far worst) but they will not do it due to serve uncontrolled diabetes and risk of infections. I do not want to take nsaid drugs like ibuprofen as this is what lead to my mom's kidney damage and subsequent death from kidney disease/dialysis. I try to do everything natual but cannot always afford what I need. I was thrilled to know about borax today form this site which was a god send and might help several problems I have.

With parasthesia, it feels like I am wearing socks too small all the time and shoes ten sizes too small and like a vise is on my foot. I have constant cramps and pains. I also had neuralgia and severe knee problems which might be the sources of this. I re-injured twice and am going to Er today as I think something is torn as pain is so intense I scream when my leg moves certain ways. I could not stand for 24 hours as no strength in my calf..I think I tore a ligament but if I can get an mri maybe they will see what could be causing my parasthesia. sometime parasthesia feels like the feeling you get when you are frozen from being in 50 degree below zero weather and have to thaw out..sometimes it is like a 100 bee stings.

I considered killing myself from that and a bunch of things but am still here suffering. Out of 100 shoes I have or tried on, I could only find one that did not feel even more viselike even though they were in my size and felt fine preinjury.

Of course there is also numbness, tingling, pins and needles but also muscle cramps and odd sensations though my legs of pain but this may be from the neuropathy I did not feel till recently but nerve conduction test (2 of them) said I had.

I do not feel this is from diabetes as I did have a little numbing on the tips of my toes and then within minutes of that pop where something shifted, half my leg was numb and there has remained.

If anyone knows of anything that will help and also lesson the pain I am now getting form neurology, please let me know. I have seen the forum for that."

11/19/2013: Mr. Ree from U.s.a.: "Vitamin E at 200-300 I.U.'s will stop your legs from cramping and may help everything else...It brings oxygen to the area which is likely your problem. Good luck. You do not need more than 300 I.U's

Google Robert F.Cathcart Vitamin E and leg cramps The Journal of the American Medical Association, Jan. 10 1972 Vol 219. No. 2. He was highly in favor of orthomolecular treatment for all diseases."

11/19/2013: Connie from Utah, Usa: "Hi Jane;

Paresthesia may be a symptom of B12 deficiency, even if the serum blood test shows normal. There can be B12 transport, receptor, etc., difficulties that may be missed by doctors."

11/20/2013: Jane from Columbus, Ohio: "Yes I may be low in b 12 I found a rare genetic defect and had almost all the symptoms in questionnaire and my brother also did. One is not absorbing b vitamins and c and other nutrients and this causes a myriad of seemingly unrelated symptoms. I have long thought family des=eases showed steeming from b vitamins.

I was also a vegan 4 years but did occasionally mess up and also took b12 sometimes. Last year I went off vegan but going back on in January I hope.

The genetic illness is not widely known by doctors. Mine never heard of it nor did she research I don't think though she said she did as there was lot of info online. If I could scrape up $125 I could know for sure but my car just broke cv joint and frame as I rdove on a flat 3 miles in middle of night, had to be junked so lost car I need to be interdependency with no bus line

I also lost refrigerator and washer broke and 15 other things and I am on a very low fixed income so cannot swing the needed test.

Dr did say she would test some of these but I am not anxious to come in due to staff but now like some other times she will think she is right even if she is not and it hit a brick wall.

How might they check it well enough to see the true results.

I did read taking b and some of the other minerals/vitamins helps this disorder but a bunch of stuff happened and I forgot to take it.

Tonight I was in ER due to very possible torn meniscus in knee and/or ligament tear. I do not have it all the time but when I move my knee wrong , the pain first hits me from twisting my knee wrong and reinjured badly 5 days later. I type in pain..they did nothing but say go to doctor Nothing is broken but said I had severe arthritis in knee.

I just found out about borax and can't wait to start it tomorrow to see if it helps all my pain.

The reason I do not think parasthesia was due to b12 was never had this before and a loud pop in groin/thigh and leg right away went numb and painful and stayed that way so it is hard not to associate it with this injury suffered when getting out of car 5 years or so when it first started and before I as a vegan or vegetarian

But I am trying to commit to making some changes towards health and will probably go get those vitamins and start adding to new new program.

There is definitely nerve damage and I have a nerve formula that ids supposed to help with rebuilding myelin sheath but it stinks so bad due to very strong I was sent and if it was not I would put it on leg. Maybe I will take it orally though with gota kola tinctures.

I felt when I found the site and article on boron, god was answering my prayers as this explains a lot like why I was so acidic even when eating 85 to 90% veggies (half raw) and not just acacia the lowest one on the paper. Nothing seems to change it but this I think might and help with pain a lot so I can be more active and walk again to exercise for my diabetes. currently using wheelchair and walker for a few car lengths but can't even use cane now due to my sprain or whatever I tore in knee this week.

Thank you for caring."

11/20/2013: Connie from Utah, Usa: "Hi Jane;

It looks like you've had alot of misfortune lately. I hope it changes for the better now!

There are genetic mutations that can cause B12 deficiency, and the symptoms will be seen in many family members. ( This has happened in my family.)

Last spring, I did a genetics test, and found many mutations that could be responsible for my own deficiency. It's helped me to understand why I need such a high dose of B12 daily. ( I take sublingual, methylcobalamin, 15 mgs. daily.)

Of course, with one health condition, there can be more, and some of these tendencies can also be genetic. I can understand your frustration - I've also tried many diets. They can help, but sometimes, some of us need a little more....

The B12 serum test is the least indicative, although it does catch a minority of people. The Hhomocysteine test is non-specific, because it may indicate low folate, B6, B12, hypothyroid, etc. Urinary Methylmalonic Acid, (MMA), may be better than the others.

The active B12 test, Holo-TC, may be the most accurate now, but still, testing needs improvement.

I hope you find what works best!

(This site is about chronic fatigue/ myalgic encephalomyelitis, but there is alot of discussion regarding B12. Maybe it will interest you.)"

11/20/2013: Jemira from Ks, Us: "Hello Jane, I know the "pop" you are talking about!

5 years ago I was walking and there was suddenly a "pop" in my lower back/hips. The pain was off the scale and I remember it hurt all the way up to the tip of my nose. Felt like I had been punched in the nose and I could smell blood for a second. I was walking in a mall so all I could do was stop and hope noone bumped into me. Well I made it out of the mall and home eventually. Over the next 3 days both of my legs went numb with pins and needles. I was a dancer and knew how to deal with injuries so I rested, ice, etc. and it got some better. I have been to 7 different doctors in 5 years, MDs, DOs, DCs - none can tell me what's wrong to this day. They all say everything looks normal. One even told me, "Somethings are just a mystery."

My diet is clean, I am in mostly good health. I had fluoride poising 2 years ago and am still not over all of what happened there. But when this originally happened 5 years ago I was in very good health. I taught dance classes 5 times a week.

Acupuncture gave me feeling back the first time I had it done but it's never worked as well again. I keep trying it though. Also, this week I tried Alpha Lipoic Acid and and noticing some good results. Feet are warmer and they seem to be feeling more. I've used it twice but I think the dose is too high (250mg) as it causes a strange feeling in my mouth. Going to hold off on taking it till I can get a lower dose of it.

Mostly I am writing this to tell you that you are not alone with your "pop"."

11/21/2013: Mvo from Jhb, Rsa: "Hi, look up "The Miracle Ball Method" by Elaine Petrone maybe you will find some answers. All the best."

11/19/2013: Evie from Ga: "Oh my goodness I cannot believe I have stumbled across this after so many years. Yes it did remove the lesion but here is what I have learned since then. I also developed lesions on my face one on my left cheek and one from an old injury so every drop of sun exposure inflammed them. I didn't want to use blood root on my face so I had lived with them for years until now. I don't believe I have Discoid Lupus anymore as I am symptom free. I inadvertantly cured myself I guess. Two years ago I decided to get healthy. I completly changed the way I eat and I gave up all my vices (except coffee). First I went on a full body cleanse for a month. Then I juiced Beets and every good veggie I could find roots done separetly from fruits and about thee months later I began to notice some clear changes in my lesions. Having been so careful about sun exposure it seemed that I could tolerate some sun so I stopped using sun screen all together. I am an avid outdoors person so this is significant in itself. Then before I knew it aside from feeling healthy again I noticed that the lesions were gone, and I mean gone as in I can now with some care be out doors without the horrible lesions. I have gone on to begin my own small apothacary. I grow certain plants for their medincinal values and make my own tinctures and salves. I hope that you get this soon. I believe that you and I should talk real time. I have become somewhat of a healer, it just came through researching my own illnesses and learning about naturapathic treatments and then helping those around me. So there you have it. Hope to hear from you soon. I have so many questions and suggestions for you. First thing I would ask you to do is do not give Discoid any power by worrying so much about it. Just get active in doing an over all cleanse I can give you the cleanse name I used if you wish. Believe in your own ability to heal yourself and begin each day with that intent."

12/06/2013: Moana from New Zealand: "Hi Eve, I was diagnosed as having discoid lupus more than ten years ago. the raised scaly patch of red and white on my right cheek, right eyebrow above and below and now my ears which I'm suspecting could well be actinic keratosis. we live in a small town, with very little faith in the doctors and most people are into natural remedies. Today I happened upon a chinese practioner, I now have bloodroot around the edges of my cheek. I was fearful of what if... but what could be worse after all these years, so pleased I happened upon your blog. gives me a bit of reassurance. if you can help in greater detail id be more than thankful in being rid of discoid. at the moment my cheek is burn ing and feels like it has swelled in places on my lesion. not sure if that's a normal reaction. the bloodroot has been spread around the edges of the discoid on my unaffected skin and covered in bandaids. please advise on further treatment or proper use. email: moanab2009(at)hotmail(dot)com"

[YEA]  11/19/2013: Bryan from Arizona: "This advice as well as the changing leg position during BM saved me from a terrible situation. I had tried many things for anal fissure. The olive oil, amazing healing gift from nature."

11/19/2013: Jane from Columbus, Ohio: "On the topic of amputation. If one has gangrene, see Dr Christopher's (John) website herballegacy or his book school of natural healing to fnd many ways of using herbs to save one's legs. If approaching this, gather the needed things in advance so you can start right on them if need be.

the book has some formulas not found on the website but just type gangrene and amputation into the search. Also one can make his blood sugar formula butknow that 16 parts of it is cedar berries contact me on curezone under name knowledge seeker and I will look up the proortions needed. Also be sure you get cedar berries and not juniper berris, . an herb company once gave me juniper berries when I ordered cedar berries. To tell the difference, cedar berries have just one seed while juniper berries have several.

When taking herbs by mouth use an herbal tincture as this is best way to take herbs. 2nd best is tea made using distilled water as being empty it absorbs more of the healing phytochemicals and plant chemicals. Capsules are the worst way to take herbs as rarely absorbed and can be burned in powdering process.

Be sure to get whenever possible organic or wildcrafted herbs as these contain 7 to 10 times the healing chemicals over conventional herbs and thus are much more effective.

If you need to know how to make a tincture go to curezone and type words making tinctures webpages into search..there will be a post by tharrels1 foll wed by post by knowledge seeker post (me)

Read both of these posts. Making tinctures is very easy and when you make them they are stronger than most of the herbs and tinctures out there if you use organic. I do a mixture about 1/3 to 1/2 liquid and the rest herbs when it settles, . If there is not this much vodka on top then add more..if too much add more herbs.

I like mountainroseherbs for bulk herbs as they have a large selection, all organic or wildcrafted and only slightly more for 4 ounces than many companies charge for two.

Christopher also has case histories on his site regarding curing gangrene. he is called the father of modern herbology and many of the formula sin health food stores, he designed. He has cured incurable illnesses as has his predecessor Dr Richard Schulze.

But I wanted to post this to help diabetics avoid amputations."

08/28/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Hi Diane,

Thanks for letting us know what happened with the ACV!

I want to encourage you to persevere in the other things you are doing, even if you haven't found improvement. My husband has a very painful heel spur and we started treating with natural remedies from EC a month or two ago. He is finally noticing some improvement in his pain. the large knob on his heel is looking smaller. (It looked like half a super ball was under his skin and hard as a rock. ) AFter beginning treatment, I was expecting it be better very soon, after reading so many quick success stories, but he has been willing to persevere and definitely doesn't want to get a cortisone shot or have surgery!

He is also taking calcium/manesium, spraying with magnesium oil, and putting ACV on it each night. (He doesn't wrap it though. Having it wrapped all night made him feel worse. ) We also use some essential oils on it. Not sure what is helping, but he is having slow progress.

Keep us posted on your progress!

~Mama to Many~"

08/31/2013: Cb from Netherlands: "Hi, Just want to let people with heel spurs know that my sister had a heel spur and tried about every home remedie available without result. She bought new slippers, flip flops, which gave much relief and after a while the heel spur was gone!"

09/01/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Looks like most of the shoes and sneakers designs are the cause of heel spurs. A flipflop design is both flat both on sole and the inners creating bare foot walking feeling for your feet. Eventually aligning the foot naturally."

[YEA]  10/10/2013: Suzanneh from Newcastle, Australia : "My family laughed at me when I told them I was going to try this. The first morning, it did feel better, but didn't last for long only a few hours. The next day it felt better. The third day it felt heaps better. Not sure if I felt something perhaps break in the heal like the spur broke off. Anyway we are at the Bathurst racetrack now for the big race and I have been walking around a lot and it is good, so much better than before I tried it only a very small amount of pain now. Will do a few more treatments when we go back home."

11/18/2013: Pru from Medicine Hat: "I used a pair of sock and soaked them in apple cider vinegar and put bags on them"

11/18/2013: Lisa H. from Santa Barbara, Ca: "When I was in Nepal earlier this year I got a cold sore and I was staying a top a mountain, a three hour return trip to a pharmacy. I had failed to pack any zovirax, which has been successful in the past, so my friend and I went digging through our first aid kits and came up with alcohol swabs! Ah huh!!

After the first swipe, the burning started, but it was that good burning like you can feel the virus shrinking away from it as fast as it can kind of burning. It took about three days of day with the alcohol wipes every couple of hours to turn it completely around and kill it.

I have subsequently found acetone to work faster and be more effective, but if you are working with what you have available in a first aid kit - I can 400% recommend the alcohol swabs!"

06/30/2013: Kathy from The Usa: "Hi Paulica13, not sure what would dissolve peanuts but I found a good remedy for constipation. First thing in the morning on an empty stomach take 1/2 tsp dry mustard in 1/2 C cool water then have breakfast but be near the bathroom in case it is fast acting for you. I would also stay away from any other whole grain product until you get relief.

Another thing I found helpful is to chew up a garlic clove with cooked green beans and/or cooked carrots."

06/30/2013: Claire from Pasadena, California: "Dear Paulica, sounds to me like your ileocecal valve is stuck with peanuts piling up behind it. I get this same painful problem if I consume too many nuts or heavy bread. I suggest you drink a lot of water and also get someone to locate the lump in your gut and massage/push it along to the left (or right if someone is looking down at your stomach). They should follow the pathway of digestion. This is the best way to clear a bowel obtruction in my experience. If no one is around to help you with this, you can try it yourself by making a fist and digging into the lump, pushing it along. Another thing I do is to take a large dose of magnesium or vitamin c, which will give you diarrhea and clear the obstruction. Good luck and please let us know how you do."

06/30/2013: Noelle from Minneapolis, Mn: "Paulica -- I'm in complete agreement with Claire. I was going to suggest the Vitamin C (buffered -- Calcium Ascorbate or Sodium Ascorbate or Magnesium Ascorbate), but Claire beat me to it!"

06/30/2013: Paulica13 from Fort Worth, Texas, Usa: "Thank you all for the helpful info you shared with me. I took 1000 mg Magnezium Citrate which induces diarrhea in about 1hour. Now I feel great. God bless you."

07/04/2013: Paulica13 from Fort Worth, Texas, USA: "Everything ran good for the next 2 days after relief, now it seems that mi ICV got stuck in an open possition, as I have back pain, flatulence and fever most of the time! Anybody has any idea how to fix my ICV? Thank you all! God bless you!"

07/12/2013: Kt from The USA: "Please advise what ICV is... I'm quite uncomfortable right now and have looked for it in abbreviations but I don't see it."

11/18/2013: Cindy from Ensenada, Baja: "I noticed no one addressed this question.

ICV means your ileocecal valve, a valve between you two intestines to keep from back up.

Go to YouTube and there are videos that show you the pressure points on your body for massage to help your ileocecal problems."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "I would go to a good chiropractor to look at stiff neck problem. Stiff neck (along with headache) is one of the symptoms of chronic meningitis. Usually stiff neck due to cold from open window will go away.

There are all sorts of things for neuropathy but I would consider experimenting with seanol given that it addresses many other things besides the neuropathy. Maybe you luck out and it addresses other things. It is a more powerful and long lasting antioxidant than astaxanthin also but I would keep taking the astaxanthin also."

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Elaine,

Yes, the problems are from the statins...or so assume. Good you got off when you did.

Suggestion on dealing with the continuing problem, eg neck etc.

To get the statins out of you, cleanse. I mean deep cleanse. There are different cleansers The best to get to the cellular level, lemon drink while fasting. Six lemons cut in half and squeeze a half in purified glass of water. Twelve glasses of that a day; so six lemons daily...for ten days. By the third day, you'll be visiting rest room every thirty minutes; the lemon will clean out down to the cellular level. Also you'll knock out any kidney stones you happen to have.

Dave"

11/19/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Never take a statin without also taking CoQ10. Never take CoQ10 without also taking Selenium and Vit-E as these work best together. Muscle stiffness and soreness is a result of the statin depleting what little CoQ10 the body makes, and muscle wasting is the results. From personal experience, the best form of CoQ10 is combined w/ Glutathione. To help rebuild muscle eat quality meat or supplement Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and/or Creatine.

Dr Sinatra recommends splitting the statin tabs in half and in some cases quartered so as to reduce the bad side effects, while modifying the diet and supplementation."

11/18/2013: Marie from New York: "Hi, would this work for gallstones or gallbladder. I have been drinking two lemons a day and using olive oil since I haven't done a flush... some days pain is there and some days it is not..

Maybe I am drinking too many lemons. I watched a video from Andrias Moritz once and he said to drink two whole lemons a day... no water...for an extended amount of time..

How does one know if you are detoxing..."

11/18/2013: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "Elaine,

There is a Yahoo Group for people who have permanent damage from statin drug use. Most of the people only took statins for a short period of time, yet sustained significant permanent damage that has altered their lives. Most were very active, health conscious people who are now living with severe muscle damage, autoimmune diseases and memory problems. These adverse reactions are usually not reported by our doctors, so the number of people affected is not known. The group can be found here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Stopped_Our_Statins/info

Someone at this site may be able to give advice. Those who have seen doctors specializing in statin damage have reported they take a certain kind of absorbable CoQ10 and high doses of fish oil. Best wishes."

11/19/2013: Elaine from Huntsville, Al: "TimH: If I take CoQ10 for relief of pain from statins I took years ago, then I have another question. My ldl is still high, so can I take red yeast rice w/ coQ10 in it and then more CoQ10 for more relief? I still need to reduce that ldl, but I started getting a cramp in my calf from the rry, so stopped it. It has coQ10 in it, but I'm still in pain from the zocor. Thanks."

11/19/2013: Gavin from Northland, New Zealand: "I read after a good try out with lemons that after a few weeks the first sign of a zit or boil, is the sign to knock it off. I started to get some boils forming for no good reason. Otherwise the results were excellent. In fact I had never felt better."

11/20/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Elaine: Try Glutathione/CoQ10 combination for best results which should help w/ energy but for the ldl do take the red yeast rice twice daily plus a flush free niacin like niacinamide or inositol hexaniacinate 1 500mg 2x day. For the muscle loss take BCAA's and or Creatine (C also enhances muscle energy production very effectively).

Also, I have had very good results w/ L-Methionine 500 or 1000mg daily for fat burning. DMG works very well w/ Methionine for energy production and fat burning plus boosted detoxification.

You may also want to consider supplementing Coconut oil to enhance metabolism; lots of good reports on c.o. here. A good source of natural Iodine like Kelp will help metabolism by enhancing thyroid function. L-Tyrosine 500 mg daily will also boost thyroid and energy production. High ldl is almost always a side effect of low thyroid."

11/20/2013: Elaine from Huntsville, Al: "Timh, thanks for your advice. I did a search but could not locate a coQ10 that includes glutathione. Is there one? I pretty much use iherb. I can do both supplements. I'm so tired of being in constant pain, not severe but enough to slow me down. Thanks again."

11/21/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Elaine: Swanson Foods has one, as well as Vitacost L-Glutathione Plus CoQ10 -- 250 mg - 60 Capsules. This will definitely up your energy and help detox any residual statin metabolites, but do also try the other recommends I posted previously as it seems you will need more than just gth/coq10. Eat 2 or three Brazil nuts for selenium to boost the gth/coq10.

Are you vegetarian? Do get some quality protein in the diet.

Something else that will definitely help straightway, is a good hot bath w/ 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup epsom salt. This is very good detox and muscle helper. Potassium is also recommended to improve the electrolyte status which helps the neuromuscular action.

Hoping on some good news from you."

11/21/2013: Elaine from Al: "Thanks, Timh. I eat what I consider a pretty good diet. I have chickens and have had them tested for salmonella, so I can eat raw eggs and generally eat 2/day. I also was given a gift of 1/2 an organically grown, grass-fed steer for Christmas, so have high quality angus beef to eat (I don't eat much red meat). I eat lots of avocados and use coconut oil exclusively when cooking, try to use lots of herbs and spices (ginger, garlic, tumeric, etc) in my foods. Not a lot of fresh veg's b/c they are now out of season and my local farmer's market has closed, so mostly frozen. thanks for the assist, will start bs & empsom salts baths. I ordered a seperate coQ10 and glutathione and will commence when they arrive. Thanks again."

11/16/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Rosca: Make home made water kefir from organic whole sugar or/and raw organic buckwheat flour. 60g per quart. Try eating organic produce and grassfed animal products raw. If you live in the country you can make green smoothies from non contaminated edible leaves for free. You can make green smoothies from organic baby leaves. The immune system is malfuntioning because digestion is impaired. Fixing the digestive system fixes the immune system. Live ferments are best. Raw organic and grassfed animal products are second best. You can take a digestive enzyme supplement. Watch raw food videos for some good ideas."

11/17/2013: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Rosza, you might want to try going on an all veggie and some fruit diet for a day or two."

11/17/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "A quick search on PubMed brings up a couple of articles about cutaneous vasculitis sometimes actually being scurvy. Try taking Vitamin C (you can get it powdered). Take all the Vit C you can without getting diarrhea.

You might have been running low and then having such a long bout with hives (maybe viral induced) depleted the rest of your Vit C. Also look into Rutin, which is found in buckwheat, to strengthen capillary walls."

11/18/2013: Rosza from Budapest: "Dear M2 and others thanks for your reply.

Since last 8 months am taking 1000 mg Vit C with flavonoids...I have develipoed pigmentation and spots from bleeding when I scratch. It has now reached again on my thighs while whole legs are spotted and hives come and go.

I can't drink alchol take nuts, chocolates and even lentils. Also itching around my pubic area...instead of getting better am getting worse...The situation got better 2 months agao but when I ATE SOME SPICY FOOD AND YEASTY BREAD THINKING AM WELL IT CAME BACK WORSE.

I went to herbal doctor last month He told me to mix CALENDULA, NETTLE AND .Achillea millefolium TEA. also, TAKE NATURAL SULPHUR SPRING WATER AND IN NIGHT TAKE SOME HERBAL PILLS. hE TOLD ME AT NIGHT I MUST GIVE A HOT BOTTLE MASSAGE TO MY LIVER. also TWICE A DAY DRINK A SPOON OF ISABGOL HUSK IN A GLASS OF WATER. oH BOY AM FULL OF HIVES AND SINCE LAST WEEK JUST STOPPED EVERYTHING..BECAUSE VASCULITIS SPREAD LIKE HELL AND ITCHING ALL OVER MY BACK, TRUNK AND LEGS.

I get hives with pigmentation also around my elbows around it also.

1- what is buckwheat kefir how to make it?/ how much vit c I must take, everyday?

2- I already cleaned my liver three times without much difference...just a little relief also how to tackle high TSH AND IGE LEVELS??

3- WHAT KIND OF SMOOTHIES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

4- Should I try to get Quercetin and Picagenol??

5- How to stop this itching on my back and legs..driving me crazy and bring up the blood ususally after I eat something ?

Thanks ..hope someone can help.."

11/18/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado : "Rosza: The problem is the immune system is overreacting because of poor digestion. Kefir has several kinds of microbes. They look like tiny pieces of cauliflower. I bought some from the ukraine. The cellular wall of the yeasts have beta-glucans that reset the immune system. The enzymes give the organs relief so they can make metabolic enzymes. The microbes repopulate the digestive system. Kefir potentiates nutrients. Buckwheat is the seed of a flour. Buckwheat has quercitin. You can make the kefir from either organic buckwheat flour or/and organic whole dried cane sugar. Do not use any metal when making the kefir. Use 60g per quart. Let ferment at room temperature away from direct sunlight for 12 hours. When bubbles rise to the surface the kefir is brewing. There are 2 kinds of grains. One is dormant. They take around 4 days to wake up. One is fully awake. You have to use organic sugar or flour because pesticides kill the microbes. If you cannot get kefir grains you might try live active bakers yeast to ferment the brew. This is not nearly as good but better than nothing. You can also buy live ferments at the store like raw apple cider vinegar. They do not have the microbes so they are not as beneficial. Medicinal mushroom extracts have beta-glucans. Activated barley has beta-glucans."

11/19/2013: Rosza from Budapest: "Thanks, but I looked around for water kefir grains, but could not find in tow of the bio shops. I NEVER EVER HEARD OF IT. Is Kombucha same?

Please can you send me the recipe how to make kefir grains?

Suppose I FIND WATER KEFIR GRAINS THEN HOW TO MAKE BUCKWHEAT WATER KEFIR?

I KNOW WHAT IS BUCKWHEAT AND FOUND THE SEEDS EASILY NOW PLEASE SEND ME THE PROPER RECIPE WITH THE MEASURES IN GMS I DON'T UNDERSTAND QUARTER.

HOW MANY SPOON GRAINS..HOW MANY GRAMS FLOUR AND HOW MANY LITRES OF WATER ETC...

How many glasses I should drink everyday. I am trying to find water kefir grains hope to find it---some says it is a Japan crystal mushroom is it true that water kefir grains is a Japenese mushroom?

Thanks ...."

11/19/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Rosza: Kefir is called Japanese water crystals, piltz in Germany, kefir di frutta in Italy, tibicos in Mexico, and graines vivantes in France. There are stories of their use in Tibet and the Caucus Mountains. Yes you can use kombucha because there are both bacteria and yeasts. The yeasts have the beta-glucans. The water must be free from chlorine and pollutants. Do not use metal. 60grams of organic whole sugar or/and organic buckwheat flour per quart. 30grams sugar and 30grams buckwheat. Whole sugar has molasses. They need nutrients. Google how to make water kefir in 2 minutes of less video. The microbes manage themselves. They stop multiplying when there is no more food to eat. If you get the dormant ones put 60grams sugar or buckwheat in a quart of water and let ferment at room temperature away from direct sunlight for 3 or four days. Taste periodically. The water should gradually change from sweet to sour. When the water becomes vinegry they are fully awake. The more you take the sooner you can get well. I take a cup 8 times per day. The microbes are not delicate. They are very hardy. They don't like metal or pollutants. They ferment from 40 degrees to 95 degrees. The lower the temperature the slower the brew."

11/20/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Hi Rozca, you can find kefir grains on the big online shopping place that starts with an A. You can also google how to make kefir."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "I would go to a good chiropractor to look at stiff neck problem. Stiff neck (along with headache) is one of the symptoms of chronic meningitis. Usually stiff neck due to cold from open window will go away.

There are all sorts of things for neuropathy but I would consider experimenting with seanol given that it addresses many other things besides the neuropathy. Maybe you luck out and it addresses other things. It is a more powerful and long lasting antioxidant than astaxanthin also but I would keep taking the astaxanthin also."

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Elaine,

Yes, the problems are from the statins...or so assume. Good you got off when you did.

Suggestion on dealing with the continuing problem, eg neck etc.

To get the statins out of you, cleanse. I mean deep cleanse. There are different cleansers The best to get to the cellular level, lemon drink while fasting. Six lemons cut in half and squeeze a half in purified glass of water. Twelve glasses of that a day; so six lemons daily...for ten days. By the third day, you'll be visiting rest room every thirty minutes; the lemon will clean out down to the cellular level. Also you'll knock out any kidney stones you happen to have.

Dave"

11/19/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Never take a statin without also taking CoQ10. Never take CoQ10 without also taking Selenium and Vit-E as these work best together. Muscle stiffness and soreness is a result of the statin depleting what little CoQ10 the body makes, and muscle wasting is the results. From personal experience, the best form of CoQ10 is combined w/ Glutathione. To help rebuild muscle eat quality meat or supplement Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and/or Creatine.

Dr Sinatra recommends splitting the statin tabs in half and in some cases quartered so as to reduce the bad side effects, while modifying the diet and supplementation."

11/18/2013: Marie from New York: "Hi, would this work for gallstones or gallbladder. I have been drinking two lemons a day and using olive oil since I haven't done a flush... some days pain is there and some days it is not..

Maybe I am drinking too many lemons. I watched a video from Andrias Moritz once and he said to drink two whole lemons a day... no water...for an extended amount of time..

How does one know if you are detoxing..."

11/17/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Shadel: If your bp is dangerously high I would request a different presc. med that you can tolerate well. I take Lisinipril w/ no bad side effects. This is a hunch on my part as to the cause of your bp spiking fallowing sleep. Sleep is a time that the body regulates homeostasis mechanisms, particularly hormones. You may want to have dr check or recommend an endocrinologist to check hormone levels. But for simplicity sake you may want to try taking some ACV twice daily to help metabolism and clean a possible clogged gallbladder (which causes excess estrogen in the bloodstream). Also, try taking 500-1000mg L-Methionine to help the metabolism of excess fat (how are your cholesterol levels?). Lemon juice is also good for improving digestion. If you have a portable mp3 player try to find or buy harmonic tones for lowering bp naturally. One I use is called "blood pressure lowering binaural beats"; I haven't done direct measuring but this harmonic does seem to help. Celery is recommended for bp lowering. A stick or two 2 hrs before bed might help."

11/18/2013: Shadel from Nebraska: "To Timh, Ky, USA. Have tried the vinegar and it gives me diarrhea. Thought maybe that would be the answer. I have also tried 12 to 15 different prescription drugs, including lisinopryl. Gave me so many side effects, like feeling faint to nausea. More or less given up on pre. drugs. I can and do take Atenolol, but it gives me insomnia at times. My cardiologist informed me 95% of prescriptions for hbp do cause insomnia. Still looking for the right answer; however, doing better each night. Taking Co-Q10 and Cardio complex and multivitamin. So, what is involved in seeing an endocronolgist? Thanks for your advice on this. Appreciated! Love Earth Clinic and so much information."

11/19/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Shadel: Thanx for the additional info. Diarrhea from ACV admits some type infection or possibly parasitic infestation. Low tolerance to more than one prescription or otc drugs admits Liver/Gallblader dysfunction or disease. looks like liver inflammation which would show up on "liver panel" blood test. Excess estrogen would also indicate liver/gall dysfunction.

First, have a "liver function test" done by your dr and come back here for additional advise. Many people come here and get much help w/ liver disease as given the correct treatment the liver can regenerate healthy."

11/19/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Shadel,

On any HBP issue, make sure you are getting three things; magnesium, potassium and natural (NOT synthetic) Vitamin E

500 mag

200 potassium

200 natural E ... start at low doses in E and slowly increase (over two months) to 300 then 400.

The HBP can be from thick blood; or tacky veins and arteries (all from a lack of E) or from lack of proper oxygen delivery (again lack of E). Or the HBP can be from a build up in veins and arteries of plaque. Think of a hose being squeezed at some point of blockage...it builds up pressure from the source to press the liquid through...well that is HBP and there is a reason for the pressure...the hose is blocked in some fashion. The heart itself could be a problem. Lots of possible "whys" to the pressure issue.

Natural E is my BASE for cardio help. Take those three with meals.

Also you note digestive issues with taking Apple Cider Vinegar. The opposite should be happening. ACV should be helping with that...so the post by Timh is helpful.

You also note the problem is worse when you lie down at night to sleep. Well, here's one take on that; you are not working the legs as you would during the day which could help circulate the blood BACK via the veins up to the heart. In other words the veins in legs are not working too well which lends credence that this is a circulation issue...Vitamin E to the rescue.

But given the possibility (without knowing more) I'd guess ... given the worsening at night... that varicose veins might be a matter to be addressed and a great addition would be "Horse Chestnut" which is famous for helping with that particular circulation problem too.

So I'd add that too to the three I listed. I've had great success with HC."

11/21/2013: Elaine from Al: "Thanks, Timh. I eat what I consider a pretty good diet. I have chickens and have had them tested for salmonella, so I can eat raw eggs and generally eat 2/day. I also was given a gift of 1/2 an organically grown, grass-fed steer for Christmas, so have high quality angus beef to eat (I don't eat much red meat). I eat lots of avocados and use coconut oil exclusively when cooking, try to use lots of herbs and spices (ginger, garlic, tumeric, etc) in my foods. Not a lot of fresh veg's b/c they are now out of season and my local farmer's market has closed, so mostly frozen. thanks for the assist, will start bs & empsom salts baths. I ordered a seperate coQ10 and glutathione and will commence when they arrive. Thanks again."

11/18/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Concious Cafe,

Personally, I am not sure I would use Hydrogen Peroxide internally during pregnancy. I have used many natural remedies during pregnancy and generally find them to be very safe and supportive of pregnancy. Usually they are much safer for mom and baby than medical alternatives. However, there are herbs and natural remedies that are contra-indicated during pregnancy. I just don't know about hydrogen peroxide, so I would feel safest not using it.

Is there a specific condition you are trying to treat? Perhaps there is something that is known to be safe that you could use instead.

11/18/2013: Tabitha from Kennewick, Wa: "How long should I leave the cayenne paste on my rash? Please get back to me as soon as u can cuz im in a whole lot of pain."

11/18/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Tabitha,

So sorry about the shingles!

I do not know how long the person who wrote the post left the cayenne in place. It sounds as if people apply it and then reapply as needed. I know a man who used cayenne to pack a bleeding wound and left the cayenne in the wound. It did not cause a problem to leave the cayenne in the wound. (And it stopped the bleeding and left the ER wondering how he got the bleeding to stop! )

I once made an apple cider vinegar/cayenne liniment to put on a sore foot and just left it on.

If you haven't tried it yet, the cayenne may burn upon contact, but that usually goes away quickly. If it bothers you beyond that, you could wash it off.

You may want to take the cayenne internally as well. I like 1/2 teaspoon in some grape juice or carrot juice a couple of times a day when I need the cayenne.

Let us know how it goes. I hope you find much relief with the cayenne!

My heart goes out to you, and to your Myria. I am not as informed as many here on Earth Clinic, but just wanted to say that sensitivity to sound, hearing things as too loud, etc....can be a symptom of magnesium deficiency. I can't hurt, and might help to give your wife a good quality magnesium supplement.

Am sorry for your wife, my dad had the same vertigo before 5 years (but he hasn’t migraine) and he went to a lot of doctors and take a lot of medicine without any changes. I searched his problem in old Arabian medicine books and found that this problem because of bad vapors on the brain. I used for him a tincture of Cyclamen europaeum 6 drops 2 times a day after meal, within 10 days he cured completely. I hope this will help your wife."

11/04/2013: Connie from Utah, Usa: "Hi Panic;

It looks like there are several possibilities with your wife's conditions.

Foremostly, B12 deficiency can cause this vertigo. 271 pg/ml is very low. People can have these symptoms at 500 or above. The serum B12 test is not specific.

Vertigo can cause nausea and vomiting, but stomach acid could also be low. Many folks are helped with the use of apple cider vinegar.Nausea can also be from B6 deficiency.

Folate (folic acid) is low. A B-complex with these will support the B12 metabolism. If you can find a B-complex with the 'active' forms, they may be easier for the body to use. ( Methylfolate for folic acid, and p5p for B6, for example.)

If you can find a practitioner who can start her with injections of either methylcobalamin or hydroxocobalamin, at least initially, it would help.

With enough B12, vertigo can be resolved in a month or so. It may take some time. B12 deficiency is also implicated in migraine.

Her blood glucose is too high. This can damage nerves, tissues, eyes, etc. Reduce simple sugars and simple carbohydrates.

Her sodium is a little low, I'm not sure if this is from the vomiting. I didn't see potassium levels. If the B12, B-complex and ACV don't resolve the vomiting, I would suggest an endocrine work up.

Initial tests should be for ACTH, and Cortisol. Thyroid would be another to consider. TSH, Free T3, and Free T4.

With B12 deficiency that has advanced neurological symptoms, one may need high and frequent dosages for life. (even if it's not pernicious anemia, an autoimmune B12 def.)"

11/04/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Dear Panic

Concerning Myria,

The onset, you say, was when she was 17. If the answer to my question is "yes" then I will tell you what the source of the problem is.

Here's the question: Before she started having the problems manifesting, did she have a bad infection of the ears/ throat/ mouth (teeth as in absess)/ strep throat etc...I'm wanting to determine if at around 15 or 16 years old she became infected with a serious or long standing infection of ANY kind. That is my question.

I've seen this condition a number of times with symptoms similar to Maria. The condition precedent is that of an infection...usually mono or strep...a bad case of the flu/ sinus infection and often the ear canal might be continuous off and on infections during entire childhood.

If the answer is yes, that she did have a history of such infection/s then the cause of her current condition is...viral meningitis. This differs from bacterial meningitis because bm will kill quickly whereas vm will kill you slowly. Most often the body's own immune system will finally stave off a viral but many cases result in a "mystery" illness. No myster at all: Virus in the brain and into the spinal cord.

Virus in the brain can be killed. Maria's, if the analysis is correct (serious infection in her youth prior to manifestation of symptoms) is advanced but ...

I have seen this many times and also seen it reversed with amazing results. If this were me, I'd work with anti virals and use solutions to penetrate the blood brain barrier to carry the anti virals.

So; let me know if the answer to the essential question is yes or no....the question of the condition precedent to the onset at 17 years old...did she have a serious or continuous infection that led up to the appearance of symptoms.

11/04/2013: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "Hi, so sorry to hear about what your wife and your ordeal dealing with it going on for so long.

A few years back, my Mom had vertigo, nausea and vomiting that lasted for days. It ended up that her BP got so high that I took her to the ER. Diagnosis was "fluid in the ear" possibly from air travel. This could also happen from allergies to the environment.

They gave her Meclizine. This is an over the counter med. for air sickness.. for motion sickness. It helped with the dizziness, nausea and vomiting. It might take a few doses to be really effective.

One of the earlier advice here was for Magnesium supplementation. If you search on "Magnesium and Migraine headache" you would find lots on info on how to control Migraines. It will require higher doses of Mg supplementation and it will take a few months for Mg to be built up in the body. There are books on the Miracle of Mg that I think you should get and read about how low Mg could cause Migraines, nausea, vomiting, hearing sensitivities and so much other symptoms that you might not have written here. It will be worth the time to search on Mg deficiency, on line and on You tube .

I hope you find your answers. Meclizine hopefully could help the current symptoms, then Mg could get her stabilized and be symptom free further on. Please give these treatments time to work and not give up on it easily.

11/06/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave, and anyone reading this. Thanks for your comments.

Her migraines started when she was about 17 years old. She said tonight that when she was about sixteen, she actually had a toothache (a tooth infection) on two teeth. The dentist sealed both teeth (i dont know how you call them tooth fillings?) later it continued being infected and then the dentist removed them. its been 28 years now she has migraines that come three days on one side (before her menstrual) and three days on other side (after her menstrual). In the last 2 1/2 months came the instability and oscillopsia where when the head moves even 1 millimetre, everything she sees shakes.

Did the people you know had these symptoms?

Thanks."

11/06/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Panicos from Cyprus,

Concerning Myria's condition: I've been looking for your answer to THE question I asked every day since posting to your thread. I just couldn't stand it when I read your response.

SO, there WAS a major infection a year before the onset of her symptoms! OK. That is a big YES to my question to you...was there a condition precedent of an bad infection before onset...about a year before... YES is the answer. I thought either 15 or 16. And how she describes the infection is exactly what I look for in suspect virus cases.

The infection when she was 16 was in two teeth... you say...exactly what I was asking (one year prior to onset at 17 years old). Even more important than that and not a guess but what she said happened, the "sealing" took place, which sealed IN the infection. This is why she continued to have further infections over time. By sealing up the virus/bacteria/fungus (what ever it is), the infection was boxed in. It doesn't matter that the dentist later removed the teeth because the virus was started and working...we know because you said the infections in her mouth continued after sealing! It is entirely possible that the virus then migrated higher into the head. Bell's Palsey and trigeminal neuralgia could easily be experienced...sinus problems over the years also could be seen. And infection of ears; the labyrinth infected. But the real danger would be the migration possibly into the brain;

There's your viral meningitis.

By you confirming that a prior "serious" infection immediately prior to the "onset" of symptoms at 17 years old, fits the theory that I laid out to you when I first posted. I asked if any significant infection took place in the upper regions...strep/ sinus etc.

So...now, I can make a more certain assertion; I'm now 90 percent certain that she is suffering from viral meningitis.

If this were me here's how I'd kill the viral meningitis in brain and down spine. I'd use 60 percent Colloidal Silver and 40 percent DMSO. The latter is a solvent/ carrier. Google "DMSO Dr Jacobs 60 minutes youtube" and you'll find the 3 part series on DMSO. A MUST see.

To apply: Take white paper towels and soak in the DMSO/ CS mix. Apply to back of neck next to skull. I'd leave on for 20 minutes. Enough to soak one paper towel. Then two days later again, and again two days later. Second week, I'd apply every third day. I'd keep a carefull log of symptom progression. You list a lot of them. I'd expect to see my symptoms diminish in a week such that in my log, I could show a decrease in problems. If after a month of every third day apps there was no reduction in symptoms, I'd stop the applications because the lack of response would tell me the cause was not, after all, a viral infection. If much improved, I'd apply once a week.

Now, also I'd drink three tablespoons of CS daily during the first month. Drink on empty stomach. An infection like you described has gone into the whole body, so I'd drink the CS to kill the virus in the rest of my body.

And I would have to do "upper" irrigations. The CS must be sniffed into the sinus cavities, leaning head back and squirted into ears. The virus certainly is in ears. I'd do this twice a week. Expect the first time in sinus to produce stinging and dizziness for a second. Lean head back and let drain down throat. In both ears squirt with cs with ear syringe, and with sinus irrigtion, the eustacian is also covered. Again, I hold onto something because of dizziness from water in ears.

If I were having this likely meningitis issue I'd also apply the same soaked DMSO/CS white paper towel to spine at least once a week. This virus might get to the vertebrae and cause havoc. Expect Guillain Berea if virus not destroyed or something on top of the horrible thing she is now experiencing just as bad as GB.

I'd do the irrigations for a year once a week. I'd drink the CS for a year. If symptoms improve I'd do neck/back poultices for a year. If there is a lung issue (coughing) I'd assume it is in lung too, and would use a nebuliser to breathe in steamed CS. This I would do twice daily for a month and then once a week for three months or until symptoms in lungs had gone.

I do need to add one more thing...if this were me who found himself suffering from possible viral meningitis. I'd be also on a substance called Calcium AEP. I'd be on three tablets of AEP daily. Google, "Calcium AEP nutrition review" and you'll be impressed at the ability AEP has in electrical issues and all the conditions that can be helped using this nutrient. But AEP is not a virus killer. CS is. AEP can help rebuild the damages nerves.

The situation is most serious and actually I hope I'm wrong. Viral M is a slow death.

I'll be here to answer any question you have.

Dave

11/07/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Thanks Dave. I will look for CS and DMSO. at what ppm should it be? Panicos"

11/08/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again,

On issue of how much ppm...I make my own and it is 100 ppm or more.

I content not all CS is the same. Some versions claim to be potent when in fact they don't seem to work. To make sure what I use is working, I test it on something obvious like a sore throat and gargle. If sore throat immediately is cured I know the CS is working: Pretty obvious test, right?

So I know from experience that the CS I make is effective. If I were just starting with using CS I'd just buy the highest ppm I could find and try it. I might buy two brands and compare. In just a few days the effect will be evident. Energy will start returning within a week, for instance. Every part of the program I laid out (the protocol) must be done for a month to get the true results and to KNOW if the "cure" is accurate and effective."

11/08/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Panic, you mentioned that your wife had had lens inserted into her eyes shortly before the vertigo started. Can you ask the eye surgeon if this might be indicative of a problem with the lens that were inserted? The reason I ask is because I have had problems with vertigo when I have put my regular contact lens in backwards or in the wrong eye."

11/09/2013: Panic from Cyprus: "Hi Dave from Fountain Inn and Nanowriter from Hotspot.

Dave I will get both items you said. First the CS. Will I be able to tell the real PPM with a PPM meter and maybe a laser pointer? And DMSO what do I look for? Are they all the same? Sorry to ask...

Nanowrite, we went to the eye doctor to make an eye test. It is called Fields test (Glaucoma test) and the doctor looked a bit annoyed. He insisted that my wife's problem was from the labyrinth. He deffended his lense operation, so I cannot ask him that. I asked another doctor and he said no, it is not the lense's fault. Honestly I believe it is something inside her head, the labyrinth or something. her eyeside, when her head is steady is ok."

11/09/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello "Panic"...

but I don't want to call you "Panic" anymore...you have a PLAN...I'd like to call you "Plan Man"...because if you have a correct course of action and are following that action, then there is no ... panic ...at all. You are a man on course.

First, as to the ppm; just trust as accurate what the colloidal silver maker says; you need not check on ppm. It says it on the label. But the thing is, as much as you'll need, why don't you get your own little silver maker generator. It's just two strands of 99.999 percent pure and batteries come with it. If you learn to make your own (f I can do it...I'm the King of non-tech, then anybody can do it). Order on line. I've have two, one over 19 years old and one I bought last year. Battery operated. Cost, less than 100 bucks (US). Got it from a discount outfit. Google something like "colloidal silver generator inexpensive" and you should find a number of outfits that can send you a good machine. "Machine"...it's just 27 volts of battery power attached to two wires of silver. I make mine the same way I was taught by an old guru who had been making it for years. Here's how:

First, I look at youtube "how to" make CS and it seems they are the complicated way. NOT. It's so simple. Take two cups of purified water. Heat to 90 degrees (farenheit). Stir in 30 grains of salt to make the purified water conductive. Then insert the two silver wires, not close to each other. Stir gently with a wooden spoon every two minutes, trying not to disturb the silver wires. As soon as you immerse the silver wires you'll see the negative pole giving off a cloud ... a fine white residue of...SILVER particulates. In four or five minutes the container of water (two cups) will be permeated with the whitish cloud. It's a beautiful thing. Take the silver strands out of the water and unplug so you don't run the batteries down. (Once out I don't think they are pulling voltage.)

Now, transver the silver permeated container to a LARGE container and then begin adding purified water...two cups, two cups etc ...I dilute by a 32 times reduction. You dilute until you cannot see the cloud ... until you see only clear water, but you know that the mix in fact does have silver in it because you just saw it in the original container before dilutions.

So far you've got seven minutes invested. I call this the "fast" method instead of the "slow" cooking process which does not use any salt as a conductor. Some "slow" purists likely would say the "fast" method is heritical. But I'm just a pragmatist doing the silver making in a way that I've seen from experience WORKS. But be my guest to try it any way you want. Try out different "types" of CS for various infections. Say, for instance, you have a sore throat...well, gargle with one and see how the "slow" version works and try the "fast" version on another issue. My point is: Feel free to try out what is effective. I just know from thousands of anacdotals that the "fast" method is effective.

OK, on the issue of DMSO. Just order from Dr. Jacobs web site if any doubt. There are some DMSOs which are industrial and do in fact differ from one another. Remember Dr Jacobs? He's the one on the youtube, 60 minutes, 3 part series...I hope you looked at it.

Just remember "Plan Man"...keep a log on how symptoms are changing; energy level, limb movement, nausea, balance, etc. Expect to see energy levels increase in only a week maybe two. Go slowly. There are billions of viruses to murder.

Too fast and the "kill off" effect can be taxing on an already exhausted system. But be relentless. In a month, look at the log carefully. There should be substantial progress; number of headaches and their intensity and frequency is one of my favorite measurements; nausea another; balance is a good one to measure. If nothing is iimproving after a month, then the liklihood is that the problem is not viral.

If nausea as soon as she gets out of bed; there is a technique for dealing with that...once treatment is well underway, namely the "slow motion and eyes steady on a fixed point" method. Keep eyes focused on a steady object and SLOWLY move one leg, then another, then arm and turn to let knees slowly sink to floor from bed while steadly looking at the fixed object. Holding onto bed don't move after knees on floor. THEN slowly stand up (with help if necessary). Then walk with a walker (if able) again slowly and staring ahead; only move eyes slowly...NO motion around her. NO TV going. No kids running around while she is gaining the movement routine. Her balance sensors and brain are being retrained to balance and move without nausea. Nerves are being re routed by the AEP. The virus has damaged the balance labyrinth in the ears (which is why the CS is squirted into the ear canals) and key balance centers in the brain. So a rebuilding process in underway.

Write me back if you run into problems.

11/15/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave. Sorry I'm late in answering back. Question. How much DMSO and CS will I need? Thanks again."

11/16/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Thanks Debbie T. from Australia. I will search for that too. At the moment I'm purchasing all the above other people kindly suggested. That is, CS with DMSO, Tincture of Cyclamen Europaeum, B12 and other supplements."

11/17/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again Panic, Or as I call you... "man with a plan".... You ask quantity of CS and DMSO. Well, if you are just doing the thirty day "test" you'd need enough CS to drink daily for a month; two tablespoons minimum daily. Irrigation three times weekly and three times weekly of the compress with the DMSO at equal part. I suggested two or three tablespoons into the white paper towel of the CS... enough to apply to back of neck and then down the spine, taking twenty minutes. So if this were me, I'd order, sixteen ounces of CS and eight ounces of DMSO. I think I'm adding that up correctly. That ought to do it for a month. Remember I suggested that if one were out to kill a systemic infection, I'd get a CS generator; Because I'd be taking the CS for at least a year for an infection that had gone on for ten years. I gave instructions on use."

11/18/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc

Ok, thanks. On Wednesday, I will have both CS and DMSO which is reagent grade.
Question 1: Is reagent grade good?

I already have made a CS generator with a 32volt charger and 99, 99% pure silver wires but never actually used any because I don't have distilled water. They sell it pretty expensive.

Question2: Is de-ionised water any good? It has a conductivity less than 0, 1ms/cm. Is it good for the job?

I must find a way to make sure my homemade CS is good but I don't feel and sore throat to test it.

Question 3: Any other way to test it? If not, I found a 20PPM CS. Thanks."

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "
Dear Panicoa,

You say you made your own CS generator!!!! YOU THE MAN.

First, Reagent grade is industrial...that will have some impurities. Don't use it. Order from Dr Jacobs or look on net and find a pharma grade...saw one from Genesis.

Next, go ahead and make the CS using the "fast" method I described. I assure you that the fast way works and is effective. Start up now drinking two tablespoons am and pm on empty stomach.

You'll know in two weeks if the CS is working. Energy is first to start coming back. But cautious. Her immune system is "nothing" and she is in danger. Don't let her physically over exert. Don't forget to do the irrigations...sinus and ears. Also gargle and let drain down throat.

When the right DMSO arrives then do the combo DMSO/CS apps to base of neck and spine... You'll know if this is viral in the thirty day trial. Keep the journal faithfully to have an empirical basis for determining whether the CS is improving her condition. But do give it thirty days at least.

I can give you a fairly accurate prediction of what you should expect to see re her condition change and when if you wish. Look back on previous posts to see some idea...re balance, headaches (duration, intensity, severity) nausea, energy levels. This is the key to knowing the truth: IF in ten days her energy begins to really improve (say 20 percent) then you will know you're on to something. That will be too soon to impact the headache/balance issue although the balance might be a little improved because the labyrinth will be rid of virus.

Have you obtained the Calcium AEP yet. That is a vital part of the program.

Please write back with details. Am thinking of you two and praying for you a lot.

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn,sc: "Dear Panicos,

Forgot to comment on water re CS generation. I use charcoal filtered water but the DMSO / CS to be used on spine and base of neck, can you find reverse osmosis? The water for that process is important. It is going straight into the brain. Charcoal gets out chlorine but not fluoride. I've used the charcoal filtered water many times on base of neck...on myself (with DMSO). No issues. But the purer the better."

It will be worth the time to search on Mg deficiency, on line and on You tube .

I hope you find your answers. Meclizine hopefully could help the current symptoms, then Mg could get her stabilized and be symptom free further on. Please give these treatments time to work and not give up on it easily.

You will start getting your health back, just check out MMS you can order it from Amazon.com"

11/06/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Toourlady89 Thank you for your advice. I will do the research on Mg and start giving her Mg. It makes her sleepy but ill do it. Thanks."

11/06/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "I thank you all guys for your kind reply. I will search and see what I will do. I just got borax. will it do? Thanks again."

11/06/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave, and anyone reading this. Thanks for your comments.

Her migraines started when she was about 17 years old. She said tonight that when she was about sixteen, she actually had a toothache (a tooth infection) on two teeth. The dentist sealed both teeth (i dont know how you call them tooth fillings?) later it continued being infected and then the dentist removed them. its been 28 years now she has migraines that come three days on one side (before her menstrual) and three days on other side (after her menstrual). In the last 2 1/2 months came the instability and oscillopsia where when the head moves even 1 millimetre, everything she sees shakes.

Did the people you know had these symptoms?

Thanks."

11/06/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Panicos from Cyprus,

Concerning Myria's condition: I've been looking for your answer to THE question I asked every day since posting to your thread. I just couldn't stand it when I read your response.

SO, there WAS a major infection a year before the onset of her symptoms! OK. That is a big YES to my question to you...was there a condition precedent of an bad infection before onset...about a year before... YES is the answer. I thought either 15 or 16. And how she describes the infection is exactly what I look for in suspect virus cases.

The infection when she was 16 was in two teeth... you say...exactly what I was asking (one year prior to onset at 17 years old). Even more important than that and not a guess but what she said happened, the "sealing" took place, which sealed IN the infection. This is why she continued to have further infections over time. By sealing up the virus/bacteria/fungus (what ever it is), the infection was boxed in. It doesn't matter that the dentist later removed the teeth because the virus was started and working...we know because you said the infections in her mouth continued after sealing! It is entirely possible that the virus then migrated higher into the head. Bell's Palsey and trigeminal neuralgia could easily be experienced...sinus problems over the years also could be seen. And infection of ears; the labyrinth infected. But the real danger would be the migration possibly into the brain;

There's your viral meningitis.

By you confirming that a prior "serious" infection immediately prior to the "onset" of symptoms at 17 years old, fits the theory that I laid out to you when I first posted. I asked if any significant infection took place in the upper regions...strep/ sinus etc.

So...now, I can make a more certain assertion; I'm now 90 percent certain that she is suffering from viral meningitis.

If this were me here's how I'd kill the viral meningitis in brain and down spine. I'd use 60 percent Colloidal Silver and 40 percent DMSO. The latter is a solvent/ carrier. Google "DMSO Dr Jacobs 60 minutes youtube" and you'll find the 3 part series on DMSO. A MUST see.

To apply: Take white paper towels and soak in the DMSO/ CS mix. Apply to back of neck next to skull. I'd leave on for 20 minutes. Enough to soak one paper towel. Then two days later again, and again two days later. Second week, I'd apply every third day. I'd keep a carefull log of symptom progression. You list a lot of them. I'd expect to see my symptoms diminish in a week such that in my log, I could show a decrease in problems. If after a month of every third day apps there was no reduction in symptoms, I'd stop the applications because the lack of response would tell me the cause was not, after all, a viral infection. If much improved, I'd apply once a week.

Now, also I'd drink three tablespoons of CS daily during the first month. Drink on empty stomach. An infection like you described has gone into the whole body, so I'd drink the CS to kill the virus in the rest of my body.

And I would have to do "upper" irrigations. The CS must be sniffed into the sinus cavities, leaning head back and squirted into ears. The virus certainly is in ears. I'd do this twice a week. Expect the first time in sinus to produce stinging and dizziness for a second. Lean head back and let drain down throat. In both ears squirt with cs with ear syringe, and with sinus irrigtion, the eustacian is also covered. Again, I hold onto something because of dizziness from water in ears.

If I were having this likely meningitis issue I'd also apply the same soaked DMSO/CS white paper towel to spine at least once a week. This virus might get to the vertebrae and cause havoc. Expect Guillain Berea if virus not destroyed or something on top of the horrible thing she is now experiencing just as bad as GB.

I'd do the irrigations for a year once a week. I'd drink the CS for a year. If symptoms improve I'd do neck/back poultices for a year. If there is a lung issue (coughing) I'd assume it is in lung too, and would use a nebuliser to breathe in steamed CS. This I would do twice daily for a month and then once a week for three months or until symptoms in lungs had gone.

I do need to add one more thing...if this were me who found himself suffering from possible viral meningitis. I'd be also on a substance called Calcium AEP. I'd be on three tablets of AEP daily. Google, "Calcium AEP nutrition review" and you'll be impressed at the ability AEP has in electrical issues and all the conditions that can be helped using this nutrient. But AEP is not a virus killer. CS is. AEP can help rebuild the damages nerves.

The situation is most serious and actually I hope I'm wrong. Viral M is a slow death.

I'll be here to answer any question you have.

Dave

11/07/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Thanks Dave. I will look for CS and DMSO. at what ppm should it be? Panicos"

11/08/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again,

On issue of how much ppm...I make my own and it is 100 ppm or more.

I content not all CS is the same. Some versions claim to be potent when in fact they don't seem to work. To make sure what I use is working, I test it on something obvious like a sore throat and gargle. If sore throat immediately is cured I know the CS is working: Pretty obvious test, right?

So I know from experience that the CS I make is effective. If I were just starting with using CS I'd just buy the highest ppm I could find and try it. I might buy two brands and compare. In just a few days the effect will be evident. Energy will start returning within a week, for instance. Every part of the program I laid out (the protocol) must be done for a month to get the true results and to KNOW if the "cure" is accurate and effective."

11/08/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Panic, you mentioned that your wife had had lens inserted into her eyes shortly before the vertigo started. Can you ask the eye surgeon if this might be indicative of a problem with the lens that were inserted? The reason I ask is because I have had problems with vertigo when I have put my regular contact lens in backwards or in the wrong eye."

11/09/2013: Panic from Cyprus: "Hi Dave from Fountain Inn and Nanowriter from Hotspot.

Dave I will get both items you said. First the CS. Will I be able to tell the real PPM with a PPM meter and maybe a laser pointer? And DMSO what do I look for? Are they all the same? Sorry to ask...

Nanowrite, we went to the eye doctor to make an eye test. It is called Fields test (Glaucoma test) and the doctor looked a bit annoyed. He insisted that my wife's problem was from the labyrinth. He deffended his lense operation, so I cannot ask him that. I asked another doctor and he said no, it is not the lense's fault. Honestly I believe it is something inside her head, the labyrinth or something. her eyeside, when her head is steady is ok."

11/09/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello "Panic"...

but I don't want to call you "Panic" anymore...you have a PLAN...I'd like to call you "Plan Man"...because if you have a correct course of action and are following that action, then there is no ... panic ...at all. You are a man on course.

First, as to the ppm; just trust as accurate what the colloidal silver maker says; you need not check on ppm. It says it on the label. But the thing is, as much as you'll need, why don't you get your own little silver maker generator. It's just two strands of 99.999 percent pure and batteries come with it. If you learn to make your own (f I can do it...I'm the King of non-tech, then anybody can do it). Order on line. I've have two, one over 19 years old and one I bought last year. Battery operated. Cost, less than 100 bucks (US). Got it from a discount outfit. Google something like "colloidal silver generator inexpensive" and you should find a number of outfits that can send you a good machine. "Machine"...it's just 27 volts of battery power attached to two wires of silver. I make mine the same way I was taught by an old guru who had been making it for years. Here's how:

First, I look at youtube "how to" make CS and it seems they are the complicated way. NOT. It's so simple. Take two cups of purified water. Heat to 90 degrees (farenheit). Stir in 30 grains of salt to make the purified water conductive. Then insert the two silver wires, not close to each other. Stir gently with a wooden spoon every two minutes, trying not to disturb the silver wires. As soon as you immerse the silver wires you'll see the negative pole giving off a cloud ... a fine white residue of...SILVER particulates. In four or five minutes the container of water (two cups) will be permeated with the whitish cloud. It's a beautiful thing. Take the silver strands out of the water and unplug so you don't run the batteries down. (Once out I don't think they are pulling voltage.)

Now, transver the silver permeated container to a LARGE container and then begin adding purified water...two cups, two cups etc ...I dilute by a 32 times reduction. You dilute until you cannot see the cloud ... until you see only clear water, but you know that the mix in fact does have silver in it because you just saw it in the original container before dilutions.

So far you've got seven minutes invested. I call this the "fast" method instead of the "slow" cooking process which does not use any salt as a conductor. Some "slow" purists likely would say the "fast" method is heritical. But I'm just a pragmatist doing the silver making in a way that I've seen from experience WORKS. But be my guest to try it any way you want. Try out different "types" of CS for various infections. Say, for instance, you have a sore throat...well, gargle with one and see how the "slow" version works and try the "fast" version on another issue. My point is: Feel free to try out what is effective. I just know from thousands of anacdotals that the "fast" method is effective.

OK, on the issue of DMSO. Just order from Dr. Jacobs web site if any doubt. There are some DMSOs which are industrial and do in fact differ from one another. Remember Dr Jacobs? He's the one on the youtube, 60 minutes, 3 part series...I hope you looked at it.

Just remember "Plan Man"...keep a log on how symptoms are changing; energy level, limb movement, nausea, balance, etc. Expect to see energy levels increase in only a week maybe two. Go slowly. There are billions of viruses to murder.

Too fast and the "kill off" effect can be taxing on an already exhausted system. But be relentless. In a month, look at the log carefully. There should be substantial progress; number of headaches and their intensity and frequency is one of my favorite measurements; nausea another; balance is a good one to measure. If nothing is iimproving after a month, then the liklihood is that the problem is not viral.

If nausea as soon as she gets out of bed; there is a technique for dealing with that...once treatment is well underway, namely the "slow motion and eyes steady on a fixed point" method. Keep eyes focused on a steady object and SLOWLY move one leg, then another, then arm and turn to let knees slowly sink to floor from bed while steadly looking at the fixed object. Holding onto bed don't move after knees on floor. THEN slowly stand up (with help if necessary). Then walk with a walker (if able) again slowly and staring ahead; only move eyes slowly...NO motion around her. NO TV going. No kids running around while she is gaining the movement routine. Her balance sensors and brain are being retrained to balance and move without nausea. Nerves are being re routed by the AEP. The virus has damaged the balance labyrinth in the ears (which is why the CS is squirted into the ear canals) and key balance centers in the brain. So a rebuilding process in underway.

Write me back if you run into problems.

11/15/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave. Sorry I'm late in answering back. Question. How much DMSO and CS will I need? Thanks again."

11/16/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Thanks Debbie T. from Australia. I will search for that too. At the moment I'm purchasing all the above other people kindly suggested. That is, CS with DMSO, Tincture of Cyclamen Europaeum, B12 and other supplements."

11/17/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again Panic, Or as I call you... "man with a plan".... You ask quantity of CS and DMSO. Well, if you are just doing the thirty day "test" you'd need enough CS to drink daily for a month; two tablespoons minimum daily. Irrigation three times weekly and three times weekly of the compress with the DMSO at equal part. I suggested two or three tablespoons into the white paper towel of the CS... enough to apply to back of neck and then down the spine, taking twenty minutes. So if this were me, I'd order, sixteen ounces of CS and eight ounces of DMSO. I think I'm adding that up correctly. That ought to do it for a month. Remember I suggested that if one were out to kill a systemic infection, I'd get a CS generator; Because I'd be taking the CS for at least a year for an infection that had gone on for ten years. I gave instructions on use."

11/18/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc

Ok, thanks. On Wednesday, I will have both CS and DMSO which is reagent grade.
Question 1: Is reagent grade good?

I already have made a CS generator with a 32volt charger and 99, 99% pure silver wires but never actually used any because I don't have distilled water. They sell it pretty expensive.

Question2: Is de-ionised water any good? It has a conductivity less than 0, 1ms/cm. Is it good for the job?

I must find a way to make sure my homemade CS is good but I don't feel and sore throat to test it.

Question 3: Any other way to test it? If not, I found a 20PPM CS. Thanks."

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "
Dear Panicoa,

You say you made your own CS generator!!!! YOU THE MAN.

First, Reagent grade is industrial...that will have some impurities. Don't use it. Order from Dr Jacobs or look on net and find a pharma grade...saw one from Genesis.

Next, go ahead and make the CS using the "fast" method I described. I assure you that the fast way works and is effective. Start up now drinking two tablespoons am and pm on empty stomach.

You'll know in two weeks if the CS is working. Energy is first to start coming back. But cautious. Her immune system is "nothing" and she is in danger. Don't let her physically over exert. Don't forget to do the irrigations...sinus and ears. Also gargle and let drain down throat.

When the right DMSO arrives then do the combo DMSO/CS apps to base of neck and spine... You'll know if this is viral in the thirty day trial. Keep the journal faithfully to have an empirical basis for determining whether the CS is improving her condition. But do give it thirty days at least.

I can give you a fairly accurate prediction of what you should expect to see re her condition change and when if you wish. Look back on previous posts to see some idea...re balance, headaches (duration, intensity, severity) nausea, energy levels. This is the key to knowing the truth: IF in ten days her energy begins to really improve (say 20 percent) then you will know you're on to something. That will be too soon to impact the headache/balance issue although the balance might be a little improved because the labyrinth will be rid of virus.

Have you obtained the Calcium AEP yet. That is a vital part of the program.

Please write back with details. Am thinking of you two and praying for you a lot.

d"

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn,sc: "Dear Panicos,

Forgot to comment on water re CS generation. I use charcoal filtered water but the DMSO / CS to be used on spine and base of neck, can you find reverse osmosis? The water for that process is important. It is going straight into the brain. Charcoal gets out chlorine but not fluoride. I've used the charcoal filtered water many times on base of neck...on myself (with DMSO). No issues. But the purer the better."

11/19/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Dave hi, and thank you for thinking of us/offering your advice/taking time to help us. I feel it will work! (since modern medicine seem to be unable to help) So I need to get things done."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "I would go to a good chiropractor to look at stiff neck problem. Stiff neck (along with headache) is one of the symptoms of chronic meningitis. Usually stiff neck due to cold from open window will go away.

There are all sorts of things for neuropathy but I would consider experimenting with seanol given that it addresses many other things besides the neuropathy. Maybe you luck out and it addresses other things. It is a more powerful and long lasting antioxidant than astaxanthin also but I would keep taking the astaxanthin also."

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Elaine,

Yes, the problems are from the statins...or so assume. Good you got off when you did.

Suggestion on dealing with the continuing problem, eg neck etc.

To get the statins out of you, cleanse. I mean deep cleanse. There are different cleansers The best to get to the cellular level, lemon drink while fasting. Six lemons cut in half and squeeze a half in purified glass of water. Twelve glasses of that a day; so six lemons daily...for ten days. By the third day, you'll be visiting rest room every thirty minutes; the lemon will clean out down to the cellular level. Also you'll knock out any kidney stones you happen to have.

Dave"

11/19/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Never take a statin without also taking CoQ10. Never take CoQ10 without also taking Selenium and Vit-E as these work best together. Muscle stiffness and soreness is a result of the statin depleting what little CoQ10 the body makes, and muscle wasting is the results. From personal experience, the best form of CoQ10 is combined w/ Glutathione. To help rebuild muscle eat quality meat or supplement Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and/or Creatine.

Dr Sinatra recommends splitting the statin tabs in half and in some cases quartered so as to reduce the bad side effects, while modifying the diet and supplementation."

11/18/2013: Marie from New York: "Hi, would this work for gallstones or gallbladder. I have been drinking two lemons a day and using olive oil since I haven't done a flush... some days pain is there and some days it is not..

Maybe I am drinking too many lemons. I watched a video from Andrias Moritz once and he said to drink two whole lemons a day... no water...for an extended amount of time..

How does one know if you are detoxing..."

11/18/2013: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "Elaine,

There is a Yahoo Group for people who have permanent damage from statin drug use. Most of the people only took statins for a short period of time, yet sustained significant permanent damage that has altered their lives. Most were very active, health conscious people who are now living with severe muscle damage, autoimmune diseases and memory problems. These adverse reactions are usually not reported by our doctors, so the number of people affected is not known. The group can be found here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Stopped_Our_Statins/info

Someone at this site may be able to give advice. Those who have seen doctors specializing in statin damage have reported they take a certain kind of absorbable CoQ10 and high doses of fish oil. Best wishes."

11/19/2013: Elaine from Huntsville, Al: "TimH: If I take CoQ10 for relief of pain from statins I took years ago, then I have another question. My ldl is still high, so can I take red yeast rice w/ coQ10 in it and then more CoQ10 for more relief? I still need to reduce that ldl, but I started getting a cramp in my calf from the rry, so stopped it. It has coQ10 in it, but I'm still in pain from the zocor. Thanks."

11/19/2013: Gavin from Northland, New Zealand: "I read after a good try out with lemons that after a few weeks the first sign of a zit or boil, is the sign to knock it off. I started to get some boils forming for no good reason. Otherwise the results were excellent. In fact I had never felt better."

11/20/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Elaine: Try Glutathione/CoQ10 combination for best results which should help w/ energy but for the ldl do take the red yeast rice twice daily plus a flush free niacin like niacinamide or inositol hexaniacinate 1 500mg 2x day. For the muscle loss take BCAA's and or Creatine (C also enhances muscle energy production very effectively).

Also, I have had very good results w/ L-Methionine 500 or 1000mg daily for fat burning. DMG works very well w/ Methionine for energy production and fat burning plus boosted detoxification.

You may also want to consider supplementing Coconut oil to enhance metabolism; lots of good reports on c.o. here. A good source of natural Iodine like Kelp will help metabolism by enhancing thyroid function. L-Tyrosine 500 mg daily will also boost thyroid and energy production. High ldl is almost always a side effect of low thyroid."

11/20/2013: Elaine from Huntsville, Al: "Timh, thanks for your advice. I did a search but could not locate a coQ10 that includes glutathione. Is there one? I pretty much use iherb. I can do both supplements. I'm so tired of being in constant pain, not severe but enough to slow me down. Thanks again."

11/21/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Elaine: Swanson Foods has one, as well as Vitacost L-Glutathione Plus CoQ10 -- 250 mg - 60 Capsules. This will definitely up your energy and help detox any residual statin metabolites, but do also try the other recommends I posted previously as it seems you will need more than just gth/coq10. Eat 2 or three Brazil nuts for selenium to boost the gth/coq10.

Are you vegetarian? Do get some quality protein in the diet.

Something else that will definitely help straightway, is a good hot bath w/ 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup epsom salt. This is very good detox and muscle helper. Potassium is also recommended to improve the electrolyte status which helps the neuromuscular action.

Hoping on some good news from you."

11/21/2013: Elaine from Al: "Thanks, Timh. I eat what I consider a pretty good diet. I have chickens and have had them tested for salmonella, so I can eat raw eggs and generally eat 2/day. I also was given a gift of 1/2 an organically grown, grass-fed steer for Christmas, so have high quality angus beef to eat (I don't eat much red meat). I eat lots of avocados and use coconut oil exclusively when cooking, try to use lots of herbs and spices (ginger, garlic, tumeric, etc) in my foods. Not a lot of fresh veg's b/c they are now out of season and my local farmer's market has closed, so mostly frozen. thanks for the assist, will start bs & empsom salts baths. I ordered a seperate coQ10 and glutathione and will commence when they arrive. Thanks again."

11/18/2013: Grateful Mother from Colorado: "Hello Yochana,

Have you ever tried candida/parasite remedies? My son was very ill. By 8th grade he missed 14 weeks of school. He had a lot of what you have and more. So much pain in his neck and shoulders and all over really, but started in his neck and shoulders. Diagnosed with severe sinus disease, asthma, it was suggested he had chronic fatigue syndrome then diagnosed with fibromyalgia. He had extreme headaches, severe insomnia, dizziness, extreme fatigue always getting canker sores in his mouth, swollen bottom lip, brain fog and the list goes on. We had every blood test that exists and no one could say what was wrong with him. The doctor's would just diagnose each symptom as a separate issue.

A client of mine told me about someone his friend went to that he thought was amazing. He was an acupuncturist that practiced Chinese medicine. After just a few minutes with him, he diagnosed him with systemic candida. He put him on a strict diet along with some herbs. After all we went through we were a little doubtful about what would happen. But that was really it. It took about 3 weeks for him to start feeling better. But we stuck to the diet to the letter. And my son was desperate enough to stick to it too. It took about 5 mos. for him to feel healed, but he is now a sophomore has only missed a couple of days of school, takes a strength and conditioning class, can blow 450 in a spirimitor (if you know what that is in the asthma world) when he used to barely make 325 and each additional blow would drop from there, he sleeps like a teen should(like a rock and for 9-10 hours on weekends), he is full of energy and is a different person. It was a nightmare that is finally over for us. If this sounds like anything you are going through, I would be happy to tell you more.

Wishing you the best, Grateful Mother"

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn: "Hello Yochana,

About the Lyme possibility ... I've had a few experiences with Lyme; two very successful and one questionable.

Colloidal Silver is worth of trying for two weeks. If the CS is "on" you'll fee the difference in seven days or less. The energy will come back fast...you'll feel like yourself again...BUT be careful, you are on thin ice.

CS irrigations ... sinus and ears. Three tablespoons am and pm on empty stomach orally.

Post back if you need details.

11/18/2013: Nick from Greensboro Nc: "Hi everyone! Here how to use a H2O2:

3 x a day on empty stomach,
10 drops for each glass of water (clean water not tap) 8 oz.
30 min. Prior or 1.5 hour after meal,

Most important regular bowel daily. Also it will cure fungi on your feet, exzema, psoriasis , multiple sclerosis, parkinson e.t.c.

In former Soviet Union doctors at space program studied H2O2 for 30 years. There is a professor Neumivakin, he is 85 years old he is taking H2o2 for 30+ years, I've got more info if u need it. Use only 3% H2O2 from your local store. The secret is a dosage!"

11/18/2013: Monica from Los Angeles, Ca: "Hello, I am looking up phonenix nutritionals. Can you tell me how long you took this for? And how bad did the die off symptoms get & last?? Are you affiliated with phoenix... ?"

11/16/2013: Karen from Toronto, On: "My feeling is that people with REAL fybromyalgia (70% of "sufferers" are misdiagnosed) THAT'S A LOT!! If they take it long enough WILL see the results! You need to take at least 4 tablespoons a day for 6 or more months to see what your hoping for...(little to NO pain) Healing takes time. I have had fybromyalgia (tested 18/18 for trigger points) for almost 20 years! In horrible pain and terrible chronic fatigue with many food allergies that went with it - like the nightshades and sugar. I began the DE 1/2 year ago. Started at 2tbs a day and upped it a few weeks later to 4-8 tbs a day. I now have such little pain anywhere in my body that I have to concentrate to see if I can feel anything! AND along with that the food allergies dissappeared as well as the chronic fatigue. I can even eat nightshade vegetables...and anyone with real fybro knows how painful the sligtest amount of one of those are.

If you've been told you have fibro but your doctor has not done the 18 point pressure test....then he doesn't know what he's talking about. You could very well be suffereing from something else and not getting the proper treatment. People ALL the time are being told they have fybro when the doctor just can't figure out why they have pain. A pain in your hip is not fybro, you have to have at least 11 different spots to have mild fybro. The reason I mention this is b/c people try to cure themselves of fybro who don't really have it - then tell others it doesn't work! IT DOES WORK. Drink it only with water on empty tummy - do it right and be patient. It CAN work for you too! =D"

11/17/2013: Prioris from Fl: "The 18 point test for fms is very very subjective. The doctor presses some point and then asks how the patient how they feel. how does the patient objectively judge the pain. of the patient does answer, how does the doctor judge the answer. different doctors may pressure the points with different amount of pressure also. if one answers only to 9 points, does that mean it is less painful than 18 points. this test needs to be retired into the dust bin at some point.

fms is a very murky disease with not any symptom that really stands out. there is a spectrum of severity where many fms people can easily be diagnosed with lyme or cfs or gws or ms or lupus ot other things. they have most of the unknown muscular skeleton problems under this label. even lyme tests can a murky area.

what is it about fms that really stands it apart from other chronic diseases in terms of symptoms. I would be really hard put to point out a truly distinquishing symptom. like many chronic diseases, it is in a syndrome category.

the whole area is a mess. trying to untangle this entire area can be difficult. this makes research on it very difficult since fms may end up being multiple diseases. this may even invalidate many studies on fms especially prevalence.

they have made an effort to water down the diagnosis procedure for cfs to mix non cfs people with cfs people so studies can be subverted to whatever they like.

i'd get the ciguatoxin test to rule out me/cfids/cfs because it is objective.

your right, many people are walking around with wrong diagnosis."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "... "Estimates are that 60% to 70% of us with FMS have symptoms very similar to costochondritis. No one is exactly sure whether it is true costochondritis or why it occurs with FMS, especially since FMS doesn't cause inflammation."

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

Notice the contradiction in FMS definition says FMS does not cause inflammation while costochondritis which most people with fms is ignored. Costochodritis inflammation was the most painful part of the fms condition. The sleep disorder is caused by the physical pain.

Tiredness or difficulty exercising is not distinguishing. Stiff muscles - what does that mean. People can get stiff muscles by just being inactive.

They have fms - "classified as mild cognitive disorders". many fms labeled people would not agree with the word "mild".

One person talking about fms may be world's apart from someone else who has fms. I think the fms label needs to be broken down further. I think infections (inflammation) vs non-infection groups may need to be separated especially symptom wise along with cognitive aspect."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "I would go to a good chiropractor to look at stiff neck problem. Stiff neck (along with headache) is one of the symptoms of chronic meningitis. Usually stiff neck due to cold from open window will go away.

There are all sorts of things for neuropathy but I would consider experimenting with seanol given that it addresses many other things besides the neuropathy. Maybe you luck out and it addresses other things. It is a more powerful and long lasting antioxidant than astaxanthin also but I would keep taking the astaxanthin also."

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Elaine,

Yes, the problems are from the statins...or so assume. Good you got off when you did.

Suggestion on dealing with the continuing problem, eg neck etc.

To get the statins out of you, cleanse. I mean deep cleanse. There are different cleansers The best to get to the cellular level, lemon drink while fasting. Six lemons cut in half and squeeze a half in purified glass of water. Twelve glasses of that a day; so six lemons daily...for ten days. By the third day, you'll be visiting rest room every thirty minutes; the lemon will clean out down to the cellular level. Also you'll knock out any kidney stones you happen to have.

Dave"

11/19/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Never take a statin without also taking CoQ10. Never take CoQ10 without also taking Selenium and Vit-E as these work best together. Muscle stiffness and soreness is a result of the statin depleting what little CoQ10 the body makes, and muscle wasting is the results. From personal experience, the best form of CoQ10 is combined w/ Glutathione. To help rebuild muscle eat quality meat or supplement Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and/or Creatine.

Dr Sinatra recommends splitting the statin tabs in half and in some cases quartered so as to reduce the bad side effects, while modifying the diet and supplementation."

11/18/2013: Marie from New York: "Hi, would this work for gallstones or gallbladder. I have been drinking two lemons a day and using olive oil since I haven't done a flush... some days pain is there and some days it is not..

Maybe I am drinking too many lemons. I watched a video from Andrias Moritz once and he said to drink two whole lemons a day... no water...for an extended amount of time..

How does one know if you are detoxing..."

11/18/2013: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "Elaine,

There is a Yahoo Group for people who have permanent damage from statin drug use. Most of the people only took statins for a short period of time, yet sustained significant permanent damage that has altered their lives. Most were very active, health conscious people who are now living with severe muscle damage, autoimmune diseases and memory problems. These adverse reactions are usually not reported by our doctors, so the number of people affected is not known. The group can be found here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Stopped_Our_Statins/info

Someone at this site may be able to give advice. Those who have seen doctors specializing in statin damage have reported they take a certain kind of absorbable CoQ10 and high doses of fish oil. Best wishes."

11/19/2013: Elaine from Huntsville, Al: "TimH: If I take CoQ10 for relief of pain from statins I took years ago, then I have another question. My ldl is still high, so can I take red yeast rice w/ coQ10 in it and then more CoQ10 for more relief? I still need to reduce that ldl, but I started getting a cramp in my calf from the rry, so stopped it. It has coQ10 in it, but I'm still in pain from the zocor. Thanks."

11/19/2013: Gavin from Northland, New Zealand: "I read after a good try out with lemons that after a few weeks the first sign of a zit or boil, is the sign to knock it off. I started to get some boils forming for no good reason. Otherwise the results were excellent. In fact I had never felt better."

11/20/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Elaine: Try Glutathione/CoQ10 combination for best results which should help w/ energy but for the ldl do take the red yeast rice twice daily plus a flush free niacin like niacinamide or inositol hexaniacinate 1 500mg 2x day. For the muscle loss take BCAA's and or Creatine (C also enhances muscle energy production very effectively).

Also, I have had very good results w/ L-Methionine 500 or 1000mg daily for fat burning. DMG works very well w/ Methionine for energy production and fat burning plus boosted detoxification.

You may also want to consider supplementing Coconut oil to enhance metabolism; lots of good reports on c.o. here. A good source of natural Iodine like Kelp will help metabolism by enhancing thyroid function. L-Tyrosine 500 mg daily will also boost thyroid and energy production. High ldl is almost always a side effect of low thyroid."

11/20/2013: Elaine from Huntsville, Al: "Timh, thanks for your advice. I did a search but could not locate a coQ10 that includes glutathione. Is there one? I pretty much use iherb. I can do both supplements. I'm so tired of being in constant pain, not severe but enough to slow me down. Thanks again."

11/21/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Elaine: Swanson Foods has one, as well as Vitacost L-Glutathione Plus CoQ10 -- 250 mg - 60 Capsules. This will definitely up your energy and help detox any residual statin metabolites, but do also try the other recommends I posted previously as it seems you will need more than just gth/coq10. Eat 2 or three Brazil nuts for selenium to boost the gth/coq10.

Are you vegetarian? Do get some quality protein in the diet.

Something else that will definitely help straightway, is a good hot bath w/ 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup epsom salt. This is very good detox and muscle helper. Potassium is also recommended to improve the electrolyte status which helps the neuromuscular action.

Hoping on some good news from you."

11/21/2013: Elaine from Al: "Thanks, Timh. I eat what I consider a pretty good diet. I have chickens and have had them tested for salmonella, so I can eat raw eggs and generally eat 2/day. I also was given a gift of 1/2 an organically grown, grass-fed steer for Christmas, so have high quality angus beef to eat (I don't eat much red meat). I eat lots of avocados and use coconut oil exclusively when cooking, try to use lots of herbs and spices (ginger, garlic, tumeric, etc) in my foods. Not a lot of fresh veg's b/c they are now out of season and my local farmer's market has closed, so mostly frozen. thanks for the assist, will start bs & empsom salts baths. I ordered a seperate coQ10 and glutathione and will commence when they arrive. Thanks again."

11/18/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Ang,

Horse Chestnut may be helpful to you. If you can find or make a cream or oil, you can apply it to your face. This has helped people with broken capillaries and with varicose veins. I made a horse chestnut salve for my varicose veins (but haven't used it as they are not actually bothering me right now) by putting the nuts into a jar and covering with olive oil. I let it sit for 2 weeks (maybe longer) and strained out the nuts. You can add some vitamin E oil to preserve it and melt a little beeswax into it to make it a salve. But the oil extract alone would work the same.

Is it possible that your medical condition is contributing to the broken capillaries?

If you can add some cayenne pepper to your diet, that may be helpful as cayenne is very good for the blood vessels.

I am sorry I do not know where you would purchase horse chestnuts or a pre-made salve or cream where you live.

Another thing that would be easy and inexpensive to try is castor oil. This you should be able to get at a pharmacy. You can apply a small amount to the face each evening. You might want to use a pillowcase that isn't your favorite in case you get oil on it. It sounds like it would make your face oily (and it feels greasy at first) but it does not make your face oily, only softer.

Let us know what you try and what helps!

~Mama to Many~"

EC: Thank you so much for the feedback and recipe, Ed2010!

11/18/2013: Jaimine from Gujarat, India: "Can we apply apple cidar vinegar in pubic region? If yes then how to apply it?"

11/18/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Jaimine,

When applying Apple Cider Vinegar to a sensitive skin area or on young children, we dilute it. Try 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water. If that is too strong, dilute more. If it ends up too weak, move to half vinegar half water. You could apply it with a cotton ball or put the solution in a spray bottle and spray and do this several times a day.

You might consider adding turmeric to what you are doing. Taking between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon of turmeric twice a day may be helpful. You can take it in milk (whole milk is best as it works best with some fat.)

Also, extra virgin coconut oil with a little tea tree essential oil in it, may be helpful and soothing. (1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 5 drops of tea tree oil.)

I hope this works for you. Please let us know if it helps!

~Mama to Many~"

11/17/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mark: Carbon dioxide has a myriad of functions, mainly by forming carboxylated adducts with macro molecules. Carbon dioxide is produced in the process of energy generating metabolism. The amount of carbon dioxide produced in relation to the amount of energy consumed is the respiratory quotient. Sugar oxidation produces a higher RQ than fatty acid oxidation. The stress metabolism, in stark contrast, wastes carbon dioxide. Fructose generates more carbon dioxide than starches. Blood clotting proteins, for activity, require carboxylation of their glutamate residues. The enzyme catalyzing the first step in the synthesis of fats, uses carbon dioxide, forming malonyl CoA."

11/17/2013: Marie from Long Island New York: "I dont understand what you said.. Can you simplify this? I use Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda .. So is it safe or not..? I was using it to stay alkaline and lower blood pressure and all... Its confusing with conflicting reports as to what is harmful and what is safe. How can we ever know what is right or wrong? Thank You."

11/17/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Marie, Sorry to come in late on the thread, but I've been on ACV and Baking soda for years and have no side effects and haven't read of any."

11/17/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Marie: Your idea is very good. Please let me explain my point. I take 700g of the best food concentrates. They enable me to function at peak performance. I walk 10 miles per day and have not been to the doctor in 7 years. Eating regular food and taking some sb and Apple Cider Vinegar is not going to enable you to do that. Take my mother for example. She fell and broke her hip due to osteoperosis. I said take some hawaiin spirulina. She puts a piece of iceburg lettuce on her chicken sandwich for the vegetable. She has gout in her hands. I say take a herbal remedy. She drinks a beer for some folk medicine. She is so funny she could guest star on snl. Thank you."

11/18/2013: MJones from New York: "Oh; not sure what you are taking? 700 g. of food grade.. what is that?? My diet is mainly vegetarian and organic .. I do walk and bike and do the best I can.. I also do supplements and some herbs.. do veggies and fruits and sometimes use spirulina.. I drink lemons and try and stay as alkaline as I can. I drink alkaline water..still need tweeking but working on it... So what is your regime?? Thank you."

11/18/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "MJones: I take concentrates because they are less costly and more convenient than produce. I take 1/2 gallon water kefir from 60g organic whole cane sugar and 60g organic buckwheat flour, 200g organic whole dried cane sugar, 200g raw wildflower honey, 8oz. organic berries, 7g Hawaiian spirulina, 3g chlorella, 10g nondefatted dessicated liver, 20g nondenatured whey isolate, 5g absorbable colostrum, 30g raw organic cocoa powder, 60ml thai fish sauce, 1oz. organic tomato paste, 20g expellar pressed coconut oil, 30g black chia seeds, 1tsp. sesame oil, 3g cold processed maca, 3g yucca powder, 2g 90, 000hu cayenne, 3ml. skate liver oil, and drink 2 gallons of water. This is the way us simple country bumkins here in rocky mountain high just live naturally as God intended like our hunter gatherer ancestors. Happy and cheerful and joyful living everyone at fabulous E.C., the best place for God's Goodies."

11/18/2013: Marie from New York: "Hi, well that is a lot of stuff you take.. wow.. Not sure I could do all of that..

Right now I eat organic veggies and fruits and take some spirulina when I remember. I also drink green tea and other herb teas.. I take the acv, baking soda and use astragulus root..Oh; I do not eat red meat or chicken or turkey and soy in very very low moderation when I know its sneaked in some food.. LOL..

I take Taurine, magnesium, vit.E, D and use chia seeds, cayenne pepper and turmeric .. I also use beet root powder and Olive Leaf Extract..

I think that is it for now. I am going to add COQ10 and thinking of some omega although I use olive oil and eat fish. I also drink lemons and once in while get some veggie juice at health food store..

Most of my diet is good and never eat out or eat fast food. I am 59 and female.. I just wonder these days what is good or bad. LOL"

11/16/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Rosca: Make home made water kefir from organic whole sugar or/and raw organic buckwheat flour. 60g per quart. Try eating organic produce and grassfed animal products raw. If you live in the country you can make green smoothies from non contaminated edible leaves for free. You can make green smoothies from organic baby leaves. The immune system is malfuntioning because digestion is impaired. Fixing the digestive system fixes the immune system. Live ferments are best. Raw organic and grassfed animal products are second best. You can take a digestive enzyme supplement. Watch raw food videos for some good ideas."

11/17/2013: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Rosza, you might want to try going on an all veggie and some fruit diet for a day or two."

11/17/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "A quick search on PubMed brings up a couple of articles about cutaneous vasculitis sometimes actually being scurvy. Try taking Vitamin C (you can get it powdered). Take all the Vit C you can without getting diarrhea.

You might have been running low and then having such a long bout with hives (maybe viral induced) depleted the rest of your Vit C. Also look into Rutin, which is found in buckwheat, to strengthen capillary walls."

11/18/2013: Rosza from Budapest: "Dear M2 and others thanks for your reply.

Since last 8 months am taking 1000 mg Vit C with flavonoids...I have develipoed pigmentation and spots from bleeding when I scratch. It has now reached again on my thighs while whole legs are spotted and hives come and go.

I can't drink alchol take nuts, chocolates and even lentils. Also itching around my pubic area...instead of getting better am getting worse...The situation got better 2 months agao but when I ATE SOME SPICY FOOD AND YEASTY BREAD THINKING AM WELL IT CAME BACK WORSE.

4- Should I try to get Quercetin and Picagenol??

5- How to stop this itching on my back and legs..driving me crazy and bring up the blood ususally after I eat something ?

Thanks ..hope someone can help.."

11/18/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado : "Rosza: The problem is the immune system is overreacting because of poor digestion. Kefir has several kinds of microbes. They look like tiny pieces of cauliflower. I bought some from the ukraine. The cellular wall of the yeasts have beta-glucans that reset the immune system. The enzymes give the organs relief so they can make metabolic enzymes. The microbes repopulate the digestive system. Kefir potentiates nutrients. Buckwheat is the seed of a flour. Buckwheat has quercitin. You can make the kefir from either organic buckwheat flour or/and organic whole dried cane sugar. Do not use any metal when making the kefir. Use 60g per quart. Let ferment at room temperature away from direct sunlight for 12 hours. When bubbles rise to the surface the kefir is brewing. There are 2 kinds of grains. One is dormant. They take around 4 days to wake up. One is fully awake. You have to use organic sugar or flour because pesticides kill the microbes. If you cannot get kefir grains you might try live active bakers yeast to ferment the brew. This is not nearly as good but better than nothing. You can also buy live ferments at the store like raw apple cider vinegar. They do not have the microbes so they are not as beneficial. Medicinal mushroom extracts have beta-glucans. Activated barley has beta-glucans."

11/19/2013: Rosza from Budapest: "Thanks, but I looked around for water kefir grains, but could not find in tow of the bio shops. I NEVER EVER HEARD OF IT. Is Kombucha same?

Please can you send me the recipe how to make kefir grains?

Suppose I FIND WATER KEFIR GRAINS THEN HOW TO MAKE BUCKWHEAT WATER KEFIR?

I KNOW WHAT IS BUCKWHEAT AND FOUND THE SEEDS EASILY NOW PLEASE SEND ME THE PROPER RECIPE WITH THE MEASURES IN GMS I DON'T UNDERSTAND QUARTER.

HOW MANY SPOON GRAINS..HOW MANY GRAMS FLOUR AND HOW MANY LITRES OF WATER ETC...

How many glasses I should drink everyday. I am trying to find water kefir grains hope to find it---some says it is a Japan crystal mushroom is it true that water kefir grains is a Japenese mushroom?

Thanks ...."

11/19/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Rosza: Kefir is called Japanese water crystals, piltz in Germany, kefir di frutta in Italy, tibicos in Mexico, and graines vivantes in France. There are stories of their use in Tibet and the Caucus Mountains. Yes you can use kombucha because there are both bacteria and yeasts. The yeasts have the beta-glucans. The water must be free from chlorine and pollutants. Do not use metal. 60grams of organic whole sugar or/and organic buckwheat flour per quart. 30grams sugar and 30grams buckwheat. Whole sugar has molasses. They need nutrients. Google how to make water kefir in 2 minutes of less video. The microbes manage themselves. They stop multiplying when there is no more food to eat. If you get the dormant ones put 60grams sugar or buckwheat in a quart of water and let ferment at room temperature away from direct sunlight for 3 or four days. Taste periodically. The water should gradually change from sweet to sour. When the water becomes vinegry they are fully awake. The more you take the sooner you can get well. I take a cup 8 times per day. The microbes are not delicate. They are very hardy. They don't like metal or pollutants. They ferment from 40 degrees to 95 degrees. The lower the temperature the slower the brew."

11/20/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Hi Rozca, you can find kefir grains on the big online shopping place that starts with an A. You can also google how to make kefir."

06/15/2013: Anonymous : "Hi Desmond, This is great news and thanks for posting. However please consider carrying on with a small dose of Blackstrap Molasses ever day and try and investigate why you had the clot as they can be a red flag to some other disease."

07/18/2013: Kt from The USA: "Hi Desmond, did you use just "Molasses" or Blackstap Molasses?"

[YEA]  11/18/2013: Annice from Texas: "Thank you Desmond for taking the time to post this. The same thing happened to me.J ust below my knee on the calf of my leg. It just kept swelling and it was red. We had just watched Dr. Oz the day before, and he told of the symptoms of a blood clot. It was scary.

I am not one to run to the doctor for just what ever. But I thought well now I have to go. Did not expect to find any help for a blood clot. OK, Blackstrap molasses, really .I went straight to the grocery store (I brought my Tblsp) with me. Took it before I left the parking lot .I was desperate. It has been a week now. And the clot seems to be gone.I took 2 tbls a day mixed in 6oz. of milk. I plan to keep taking it. Maybe not as much, but it seems to be a healthy addition to anyones diet. I used the Brer Rabbit brand because the lable showed to have more iron and magnesium than the grandmas brand. Hope this helps someone."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "There is already an optimal healthy supplement for blood clots - fibrolytic enzymes e.g. nattokinase (clot buster). Given that it could be a life or death issue, I would recommend that people retire molasses and other treatments to the dustbin as a treatment unless they can't get access to the enzyme."

03/03/2011: Fxgirl from Miami, Florida: "What is the combination of ACV and Hydrogen Peroxide that you used?
Thank you, Fxgirl"

11/18/2013: Al from Chattanooga, Tn: "Does using the recommended:

• Hydrogen Peroxide - 1 Part (e.g., 1 Tablespoon)
• Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 Part (e.g., 1 Tablespoon)
• Water - 10 Parts (e.g., 10 Tablespoons)

Does this amount of peroxide lighten your hair?"

11/18/2013: Grateful Mother from Colorado: "Hello Yochana,

Have you ever tried candida/parasite remedies? My son was very ill. By 8th grade he missed 14 weeks of school. He had a lot of what you have and more. So much pain in his neck and shoulders and all over really, but started in his neck and shoulders. Diagnosed with severe sinus disease, asthma, it was suggested he had chronic fatigue syndrome then diagnosed with fibromyalgia. He had extreme headaches, severe insomnia, dizziness, extreme fatigue always getting canker sores in his mouth, swollen bottom lip, brain fog and the list goes on. We had every blood test that exists and no one could say what was wrong with him. The doctor's would just diagnose each symptom as a separate issue.

A client of mine told me about someone his friend went to that he thought was amazing. He was an acupuncturist that practiced Chinese medicine. After just a few minutes with him, he diagnosed him with systemic candida. He put him on a strict diet along with some herbs. After all we went through we were a little doubtful about what would happen. But that was really it. It took about 3 weeks for him to start feeling better. But we stuck to the diet to the letter. And my son was desperate enough to stick to it too. It took about 5 mos. for him to feel healed, but he is now a sophomore has only missed a couple of days of school, takes a strength and conditioning class, can blow 450 in a spirimitor (if you know what that is in the asthma world) when he used to barely make 325 and each additional blow would drop from there, he sleeps like a teen should(like a rock and for 9-10 hours on weekends), he is full of energy and is a different person. It was a nightmare that is finally over for us. If this sounds like anything you are going through, I would be happy to tell you more.

Wishing you the best, Grateful Mother"

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn: "Hello Yochana,

About the Lyme possibility ... I've had a few experiences with Lyme; two very successful and one questionable.

Colloidal Silver is worth of trying for two weeks. If the CS is "on" you'll fee the difference in seven days or less. The energy will come back fast...you'll feel like yourself again...BUT be careful, you are on thin ice.

CS irrigations ... sinus and ears. Three tablespoons am and pm on empty stomach orally.

Post back if you need details.

11/03/2013: Carly from Wa State: "Dear Panic,

My heart goes out to you, and to your Myria. I am not as informed as many here on Earth Clinic, but just wanted to say that sensitivity to sound, hearing things as too loud, etc....can be a symptom of magnesium deficiency. I can't hurt, and might help to give your wife a good quality magnesium supplement.

I know there is much more information coming your way from others, and hope you find a way to heal her. Best wishes, and please keep us informed of her ongoing progress."

11/04/2013: Faeqa from Amman, Jordan, Jordan: "Hi panic,

Am sorry for your wife, my dad had the same vertigo before 5 years (but he hasn’t migraine) and he went to a lot of doctors and take a lot of medicine without any changes. I searched his problem in old Arabian medicine books and found that this problem because of bad vapors on the brain. I used for him a tincture of Cyclamen europaeum 6 drops 2 times a day after meal, within 10 days he cured completely. I hope this will help your wife."

11/04/2013: Connie from Utah, Usa: "Hi Panic;

It looks like there are several possibilities with your wife's conditions.

Foremostly, B12 deficiency can cause this vertigo. 271 pg/ml is very low. People can have these symptoms at 500 or above. The serum B12 test is not specific.

Vertigo can cause nausea and vomiting, but stomach acid could also be low. Many folks are helped with the use of apple cider vinegar.Nausea can also be from B6 deficiency.

Folate (folic acid) is low. A B-complex with these will support the B12 metabolism. If you can find a B-complex with the 'active' forms, they may be easier for the body to use. ( Methylfolate for folic acid, and p5p for B6, for example.)

If you can find a practitioner who can start her with injections of either methylcobalamin or hydroxocobalamin, at least initially, it would help.

With enough B12, vertigo can be resolved in a month or so. It may take some time. B12 deficiency is also implicated in migraine.

Her blood glucose is too high. This can damage nerves, tissues, eyes, etc. Reduce simple sugars and simple carbohydrates.

Her sodium is a little low, I'm not sure if this is from the vomiting. I didn't see potassium levels. If the B12, B-complex and ACV don't resolve the vomiting, I would suggest an endocrine work up.

Initial tests should be for ACTH, and Cortisol. Thyroid would be another to consider. TSH, Free T3, and Free T4.

With B12 deficiency that has advanced neurological symptoms, one may need high and frequent dosages for life. (even if it's not pernicious anemia, an autoimmune B12 def.)"

11/04/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Dear Panic

Concerning Myria,

The onset, you say, was when she was 17. If the answer to my question is "yes" then I will tell you what the source of the problem is.

Here's the question: Before she started having the problems manifesting, did she have a bad infection of the ears/ throat/ mouth (teeth as in absess)/ strep throat etc...I'm wanting to determine if at around 15 or 16 years old she became infected with a serious or long standing infection of ANY kind. That is my question.

I've seen this condition a number of times with symptoms similar to Maria. The condition precedent is that of an infection...usually mono or strep...a bad case of the flu/ sinus infection and often the ear canal might be continuous off and on infections during entire childhood.

If the answer is yes, that she did have a history of such infection/s then the cause of her current condition is...viral meningitis. This differs from bacterial meningitis because bm will kill quickly whereas vm will kill you slowly. Most often the body's own immune system will finally stave off a viral but many cases result in a "mystery" illness. No myster at all: Virus in the brain and into the spinal cord.

Virus in the brain can be killed. Maria's, if the analysis is correct (serious infection in her youth prior to manifestation of symptoms) is advanced but ...

I have seen this many times and also seen it reversed with amazing results. If this were me, I'd work with anti virals and use solutions to penetrate the blood brain barrier to carry the anti virals.

So; let me know if the answer to the essential question is yes or no....the question of the condition precedent to the onset at 17 years old...did she have a serious or continuous infection that led up to the appearance of symptoms.

dave"

11/04/2013: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "Hi, so sorry to hear about what your wife and your ordeal dealing with it going on for so long.

A few years back, my Mom had vertigo, nausea and vomiting that lasted for days. It ended up that her BP got so high that I took her to the ER. Diagnosis was "fluid in the ear" possibly from air travel. This could also happen from allergies to the environment.

They gave her Meclizine. This is an over the counter med. for air sickness.. for motion sickness. It helped with the dizziness, nausea and vomiting. It might take a few doses to be really effective.

One of the earlier advice here was for Magnesium supplementation. If you search on "Magnesium and Migraine headache" you would find lots on info on how to control Migraines. It will require higher doses of Mg supplementation and it will take a few months for Mg to be built up in the body. There are books on the Miracle of Mg that I think you should get and read about how low Mg could cause Migraines, nausea, vomiting, hearing sensitivities and so much other symptoms that you might not have written here. It will be worth the time to search on Mg deficiency, on line and on You tube .

I hope you find your answers. Meclizine hopefully could help the current symptoms, then Mg could get her stabilized and be symptom free further on. Please give these treatments time to work and not give up on it easily.

11/06/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "I thank you all guys for your kind reply. I will search and see what I will do. I just got borax. will it do? Thanks again."

11/06/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave, and anyone reading this. Thanks for your comments.

Her migraines started when she was about 17 years old. She said tonight that when she was about sixteen, she actually had a toothache (a tooth infection) on two teeth. The dentist sealed both teeth (i dont know how you call them tooth fillings?) later it continued being infected and then the dentist removed them. its been 28 years now she has migraines that come three days on one side (before her menstrual) and three days on other side (after her menstrual). In the last 2 1/2 months came the instability and oscillopsia where when the head moves even 1 millimetre, everything she sees shakes.

Did the people you know had these symptoms?

Thanks."

11/06/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Panicos from Cyprus,

Concerning Myria's condition: I've been looking for your answer to THE question I asked every day since posting to your thread. I just couldn't stand it when I read your response.

SO, there WAS a major infection a year before the onset of her symptoms! OK. That is a big YES to my question to you...was there a condition precedent of an bad infection before onset...about a year before... YES is the answer. I thought either 15 or 16. And how she describes the infection is exactly what I look for in suspect virus cases.

The infection when she was 16 was in two teeth... you say...exactly what I was asking (one year prior to onset at 17 years old). Even more important than that and not a guess but what she said happened, the "sealing" took place, which sealed IN the infection. This is why she continued to have further infections over time. By sealing up the virus/bacteria/fungus (what ever it is), the infection was boxed in. It doesn't matter that the dentist later removed the teeth because the virus was started and working...we know because you said the infections in her mouth continued after sealing! It is entirely possible that the virus then migrated higher into the head. Bell's Palsey and trigeminal neuralgia could easily be experienced...sinus problems over the years also could be seen. And infection of ears; the labyrinth infected. But the real danger would be the migration possibly into the brain;

There's your viral meningitis.

By you confirming that a prior "serious" infection immediately prior to the "onset" of symptoms at 17 years old, fits the theory that I laid out to you when I first posted. I asked if any significant infection took place in the upper regions...strep/ sinus etc.

So...now, I can make a more certain assertion; I'm now 90 percent certain that she is suffering from viral meningitis.

If this were me here's how I'd kill the viral meningitis in brain and down spine. I'd use 60 percent Colloidal Silver and 40 percent DMSO. The latter is a solvent/ carrier. Google "DMSO Dr Jacobs 60 minutes youtube" and you'll find the 3 part series on DMSO. A MUST see.

To apply: Take white paper towels and soak in the DMSO/ CS mix. Apply to back of neck next to skull. I'd leave on for 20 minutes. Enough to soak one paper towel. Then two days later again, and again two days later. Second week, I'd apply every third day. I'd keep a carefull log of symptom progression. You list a lot of them. I'd expect to see my symptoms diminish in a week such that in my log, I could show a decrease in problems. If after a month of every third day apps there was no reduction in symptoms, I'd stop the applications because the lack of response would tell me the cause was not, after all, a viral infection. If much improved, I'd apply once a week.

Now, also I'd drink three tablespoons of CS daily during the first month. Drink on empty stomach. An infection like you described has gone into the whole body, so I'd drink the CS to kill the virus in the rest of my body.

And I would have to do "upper" irrigations. The CS must be sniffed into the sinus cavities, leaning head back and squirted into ears. The virus certainly is in ears. I'd do this twice a week. Expect the first time in sinus to produce stinging and dizziness for a second. Lean head back and let drain down throat. In both ears squirt with cs with ear syringe, and with sinus irrigtion, the eustacian is also covered. Again, I hold onto something because of dizziness from water in ears.

If I were having this likely meningitis issue I'd also apply the same soaked DMSO/CS white paper towel to spine at least once a week. This virus might get to the vertebrae and cause havoc. Expect Guillain Berea if virus not destroyed or something on top of the horrible thing she is now experiencing just as bad as GB.

I'd do the irrigations for a year once a week. I'd drink the CS for a year. If symptoms improve I'd do neck/back poultices for a year. If there is a lung issue (coughing) I'd assume it is in lung too, and would use a nebuliser to breathe in steamed CS. This I would do twice daily for a month and then once a week for three months or until symptoms in lungs had gone.

I do need to add one more thing...if this were me who found himself suffering from possible viral meningitis. I'd be also on a substance called Calcium AEP. I'd be on three tablets of AEP daily. Google, "Calcium AEP nutrition review" and you'll be impressed at the ability AEP has in electrical issues and all the conditions that can be helped using this nutrient. But AEP is not a virus killer. CS is. AEP can help rebuild the damages nerves.

The situation is most serious and actually I hope I'm wrong. Viral M is a slow death.

I'll be here to answer any question you have.

Dave

11/07/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Thanks Dave. I will look for CS and DMSO. at what ppm should it be? Panicos"

11/08/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again,

On issue of how much ppm...I make my own and it is 100 ppm or more.

I content not all CS is the same. Some versions claim to be potent when in fact they don't seem to work. To make sure what I use is working, I test it on something obvious like a sore throat and gargle. If sore throat immediately is cured I know the CS is working: Pretty obvious test, right?

So I know from experience that the CS I make is effective. If I were just starting with using CS I'd just buy the highest ppm I could find and try it. I might buy two brands and compare. In just a few days the effect will be evident. Energy will start returning within a week, for instance. Every part of the program I laid out (the protocol) must be done for a month to get the true results and to KNOW if the "cure" is accurate and effective."

11/08/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Panic, you mentioned that your wife had had lens inserted into her eyes shortly before the vertigo started. Can you ask the eye surgeon if this might be indicative of a problem with the lens that were inserted? The reason I ask is because I have had problems with vertigo when I have put my regular contact lens in backwards or in the wrong eye."

11/09/2013: Panic from Cyprus: "Hi Dave from Fountain Inn and Nanowriter from Hotspot.

Dave I will get both items you said. First the CS. Will I be able to tell the real PPM with a PPM meter and maybe a laser pointer? And DMSO what do I look for? Are they all the same? Sorry to ask...

Nanowrite, we went to the eye doctor to make an eye test. It is called Fields test (Glaucoma test) and the doctor looked a bit annoyed. He insisted that my wife's problem was from the labyrinth. He deffended his lense operation, so I cannot ask him that. I asked another doctor and he said no, it is not the lense's fault. Honestly I believe it is something inside her head, the labyrinth or something. her eyeside, when her head is steady is ok."

11/09/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello "Panic"...

but I don't want to call you "Panic" anymore...you have a PLAN...I'd like to call you "Plan Man"...because if you have a correct course of action and are following that action, then there is no ... panic ...at all. You are a man on course.

First, as to the ppm; just trust as accurate what the colloidal silver maker says; you need not check on ppm. It says it on the label. But the thing is, as much as you'll need, why don't you get your own little silver maker generator. It's just two strands of 99.999 percent pure and batteries come with it. If you learn to make your own (f I can do it...I'm the King of non-tech, then anybody can do it). Order on line. I've have two, one over 19 years old and one I bought last year. Battery operated. Cost, less than 100 bucks (US). Got it from a discount outfit. Google something like "colloidal silver generator inexpensive" and you should find a number of outfits that can send you a good machine. "Machine"...it's just 27 volts of battery power attached to two wires of silver. I make mine the same way I was taught by an old guru who had been making it for years. Here's how:

First, I look at youtube "how to" make CS and it seems they are the complicated way. NOT. It's so simple. Take two cups of purified water. Heat to 90 degrees (farenheit). Stir in 30 grains of salt to make the purified water conductive. Then insert the two silver wires, not close to each other. Stir gently with a wooden spoon every two minutes, trying not to disturb the silver wires. As soon as you immerse the silver wires you'll see the negative pole giving off a cloud ... a fine white residue of...SILVER particulates. In four or five minutes the container of water (two cups) will be permeated with the whitish cloud. It's a beautiful thing. Take the silver strands out of the water and unplug so you don't run the batteries down. (Once out I don't think they are pulling voltage.)

Now, transver the silver permeated container to a LARGE container and then begin adding purified water...two cups, two cups etc ...I dilute by a 32 times reduction. You dilute until you cannot see the cloud ... until you see only clear water, but you know that the mix in fact does have silver in it because you just saw it in the original container before dilutions.

So far you've got seven minutes invested. I call this the "fast" method instead of the "slow" cooking process which does not use any salt as a conductor. Some "slow" purists likely would say the "fast" method is heritical. But I'm just a pragmatist doing the silver making in a way that I've seen from experience WORKS. But be my guest to try it any way you want. Try out different "types" of CS for various infections. Say, for instance, you have a sore throat...well, gargle with one and see how the "slow" version works and try the "fast" version on another issue. My point is: Feel free to try out what is effective. I just know from thousands of anacdotals that the "fast" method is effective.

OK, on the issue of DMSO. Just order from Dr. Jacobs web site if any doubt. There are some DMSOs which are industrial and do in fact differ from one another. Remember Dr Jacobs? He's the one on the youtube, 60 minutes, 3 part series...I hope you looked at it.

Just remember "Plan Man"...keep a log on how symptoms are changing; energy level, limb movement, nausea, balance, etc. Expect to see energy levels increase in only a week maybe two. Go slowly. There are billions of viruses to murder.

Too fast and the "kill off" effect can be taxing on an already exhausted system. But be relentless. In a month, look at the log carefully. There should be substantial progress; number of headaches and their intensity and frequency is one of my favorite measurements; nausea another; balance is a good one to measure. If nothing is iimproving after a month, then the liklihood is that the problem is not viral.

If nausea as soon as she gets out of bed; there is a technique for dealing with that...once treatment is well underway, namely the "slow motion and eyes steady on a fixed point" method. Keep eyes focused on a steady object and SLOWLY move one leg, then another, then arm and turn to let knees slowly sink to floor from bed while steadly looking at the fixed object. Holding onto bed don't move after knees on floor. THEN slowly stand up (with help if necessary). Then walk with a walker (if able) again slowly and staring ahead; only move eyes slowly...NO motion around her. NO TV going. No kids running around while she is gaining the movement routine. Her balance sensors and brain are being retrained to balance and move without nausea. Nerves are being re routed by the AEP. The virus has damaged the balance labyrinth in the ears (which is why the CS is squirted into the ear canals) and key balance centers in the brain. So a rebuilding process in underway.

Write me back if you run into problems.

11/15/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave. Sorry I'm late in answering back. Question. How much DMSO and CS will I need? Thanks again."

11/16/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Thanks Debbie T. from Australia. I will search for that too. At the moment I'm purchasing all the above other people kindly suggested. That is, CS with DMSO, Tincture of Cyclamen Europaeum, B12 and other supplements."

11/17/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello again Panic, Or as I call you... "man with a plan".... You ask quantity of CS and DMSO. Well, if you are just doing the thirty day "test" you'd need enough CS to drink daily for a month; two tablespoons minimum daily. Irrigation three times weekly and three times weekly of the compress with the DMSO at equal part. I suggested two or three tablespoons into the white paper towel of the CS... enough to apply to back of neck and then down the spine, taking twenty minutes. So if this were me, I'd order, sixteen ounces of CS and eight ounces of DMSO. I think I'm adding that up correctly. That ought to do it for a month. Remember I suggested that if one were out to kill a systemic infection, I'd get a CS generator; Because I'd be taking the CS for at least a year for an infection that had gone on for ten years. I gave instructions on use."

11/18/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Hi Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc

Ok, thanks. On Wednesday, I will have both CS and DMSO which is reagent grade.
Question 1: Is reagent grade good?

I already have made a CS generator with a 32volt charger and 99, 99% pure silver wires but never actually used any because I don't have distilled water. They sell it pretty expensive.

Question2: Is de-ionised water any good? It has a conductivity less than 0, 1ms/cm. Is it good for the job?

I must find a way to make sure my homemade CS is good but I don't feel and sore throat to test it.

Question 3: Any other way to test it? If not, I found a 20PPM CS. Thanks."

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "
Dear Panicoa,

You say you made your own CS generator!!!! YOU THE MAN.

First, Reagent grade is industrial...that will have some impurities. Don't use it. Order from Dr Jacobs or look on net and find a pharma grade...saw one from Genesis.

Next, go ahead and make the CS using the "fast" method I described. I assure you that the fast way works and is effective. Start up now drinking two tablespoons am and pm on empty stomach.

You'll know in two weeks if the CS is working. Energy is first to start coming back. But cautious. Her immune system is "nothing" and she is in danger. Don't let her physically over exert. Don't forget to do the irrigations...sinus and ears. Also gargle and let drain down throat.

When the right DMSO arrives then do the combo DMSO/CS apps to base of neck and spine... You'll know if this is viral in the thirty day trial. Keep the journal faithfully to have an empirical basis for determining whether the CS is improving her condition. But do give it thirty days at least.

I can give you a fairly accurate prediction of what you should expect to see re her condition change and when if you wish. Look back on previous posts to see some idea...re balance, headaches (duration, intensity, severity) nausea, energy levels. This is the key to knowing the truth: IF in ten days her energy begins to really improve (say 20 percent) then you will know you're on to something. That will be too soon to impact the headache/balance issue although the balance might be a little improved because the labyrinth will be rid of virus.

Have you obtained the Calcium AEP yet. That is a vital part of the program.

Please write back with details. Am thinking of you two and praying for you a lot.

11/18/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn,sc: "Dear Panicos,

Forgot to comment on water re CS generation. I use charcoal filtered water but the DMSO / CS to be used on spine and base of neck, can you find reverse osmosis? The water for that process is important. It is going straight into the brain. Charcoal gets out chlorine but not fluoride. I've used the charcoal filtered water many times on base of neck...on myself (with DMSO). No issues. But the purer the better."

11/19/2013: Panicos from Cyprus: "Dave hi, and thank you for thinking of us/offering your advice/taking time to help us. I feel it will work! (since modern medicine seem to be unable to help) So I need to get things done."

11/17/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mark: Carbon dioxide has a myriad of functions, mainly by forming carboxylated adducts with macro molecules. Carbon dioxide is produced in the process of energy generating metabolism. The amount of carbon dioxide produced in relation to the amount of energy consumed is the respiratory quotient. Sugar oxidation produces a higher RQ than fatty acid oxidation. The stress metabolism, in stark contrast, wastes carbon dioxide. Fructose generates more carbon dioxide than starches. Blood clotting proteins, for activity, require carboxylation of their glutamate residues. The enzyme catalyzing the first step in the synthesis of fats, uses carbon dioxide, forming malonyl CoA."

I walk 10 miles per day and have not been to the doctor in 7 years. Eating regular food and taking some sb and Apple Cider Vinegar is not going to enable you to do that. Take my mother for example. She fell and broke her hip due to osteoperosis. I said take some hawaiin spirulina. She puts a piece of iceburg lettuce on her chicken sandwich for the vegetable. She has gout in her hands. I say take a herbal remedy. She drinks a beer for some folk medicine. She is so funny she could guest star on snl. Thank you."

11/18/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "MJones: I take concentrates because they are less costly and more convenient than produce.

I take Taurine, magnesium, vit.E, D and use chia seeds, cayenne pepper and turmeric .. I also use beet root powder and Olive Leaf Extract..

I think that is it for now. I am going to add COQ10 and thinking of some omega although I use olive oil and eat fish. I also drink lemons and once in while get some veggie juice at health food store..

Most of my diet is good and never eat out or eat fast food. I am 59 and female.. I just wonder these days what is good or bad. LOL"

08/06/2013: Trudy from Va: "This is called bile salts diarrhea. you eat, bile dumps to digest fats, you can't small-dose the bile w/o bladder, so you get 'poisoned' by all the bile. There is a product called cholestyramine that absorbs fats in the system--it's like sawdust that you mix up and drink before you eat. Nasty, but it'll fix your D. Ask your pharmacist, they know more than the dr, and he may be able to call the dr and get you a prescription. Don't suffer, or waste money on 'natural' fixes to an unnatural problem."

11/18/2013: Mary from Blacksburg, Va: "I get the stomach dumping as well but ONLY when I eat at certain restaurants. Seems an additive or preservative causes my issue. Example-lettuce from Wendy's does it every time or something from Olive Garden probably the lettuce as well. However, Lettuce from Burger King does not do it. So I assume that it is the spray additive used to keep the lettuce from turning brown or another commonly used, in the restaurant industry, chemical. But I also get it from some home cooked meals when I use certain products. But when I cook something from all raw ingredients I do not get it."

11/18/2013: Trudy from Al: "Mary from Blacksburg: this is typical of ibs-d and gallbladder issues. Many things can cause it, but there are a few things you can do the prevent it. One is to take a psyllium product (you can get it in capsules, so it's portable). When traveling, I take 3-6 capsules right before eating. They say to drink lots of water with them, but I drink constantly so I don't drink additional. They absorb fluids in the gut and seems to calm the area, so you don't get hit as hard by the food you then put in there. My issue is oils, mainly, and the psyllium coats and soothes. Yes, it's marketed as a laxative, but it's kind of gelatinous and not a stimulant. Pulls fluid into the gut, but not if it has already absorbed the bile caused to be pumped in by whatever you ate. Heather von Vorous has an article about it at her ibs website."

11/17/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Shadel: If your bp is dangerously high I would request a different presc. med that you can tolerate well. I take Lisinipril w/ no bad side effects. This is a hunch on my part as to the cause of your bp spiking fallowing sleep. Sleep is a time that the body regulates homeostasis mechanisms, particularly hormones. You may want to have dr check or recommend an endocrinologist to check hormone levels. But for simplicity sake you may want to try taking some ACV twice daily to help metabolism and clean a possible clogged gallbladder (which causes excess estrogen in the bloodstream). Also, try taking 500-1000mg L-Methionine to help the metabolism of excess fat (how are your cholesterol levels?). Lemon juice is also good for improving digestion. If you have a portable mp3 player try to find or buy harmonic tones for lowering bp naturally. One I use is called "blood pressure lowering binaural beats"; I haven't done direct measuring but this harmonic does seem to help. Celery is recommended for bp lowering. A stick or two 2 hrs before bed might help."

11/18/2013: Shadel from Nebraska: "To Timh, Ky, USA. Have tried the vinegar and it gives me diarrhea. Thought maybe that would be the answer. I have also tried 12 to 15 different prescription drugs, including lisinopryl. Gave me so many side effects, like feeling faint to nausea. More or less given up on pre. drugs. I can and do take Atenolol, but it gives me insomnia at times. My cardiologist informed me 95% of prescriptions for hbp do cause insomnia. Still looking for the right answer; however, doing better each night. Taking Co-Q10 and Cardio complex and multivitamin. So, what is involved in seeing an endocronolgist? Thanks for your advice on this. Appreciated! Love Earth Clinic and so much information."

11/19/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Shadel: Thanx for the additional info. Diarrhea from ACV admits some type infection or possibly parasitic infestation. Low tolerance to more than one prescription or otc drugs admits Liver/Gallblader dysfunction or disease. looks like liver inflammation which would show up on "liver panel" blood test. Excess estrogen would also indicate liver/gall dysfunction.

First, have a "liver function test" done by your dr and come back here for additional advise. Many people come here and get much help w/ liver disease as given the correct treatment the liver can regenerate healthy."

11/19/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Shadel,

On any HBP issue, make sure you are getting three things; magnesium, potassium and natural (NOT synthetic) Vitamin E

500 mag

200 potassium

200 natural E ... start at low doses in E and slowly increase (over two months) to 300 then 400.

The HBP can be from thick blood; or tacky veins and arteries (all from a lack of E) or from lack of proper oxygen delivery (again lack of E). Or the HBP can be from a build up in veins and arteries of plaque. Think of a hose being squeezed at some point of blockage...it builds up pressure from the source to press the liquid through...well that is HBP and there is a reason for the pressure...the hose is blocked in some fashion. The heart itself could be a problem. Lots of possible "whys" to the pressure issue.

Natural E is my BASE for cardio help. Take those three with meals.

Also you note digestive issues with taking Apple Cider Vinegar. The opposite should be happening. ACV should be helping with that...so the post by Timh is helpful.

You also note the problem is worse when you lie down at night to sleep. Well, here's one take on that; you are not working the legs as you would during the day which could help circulate the blood BACK via the veins up to the heart. In other words the veins in legs are not working too well which lends credence that this is a circulation issue...Vitamin E to the rescue.

But given the possibility (without knowing more) I'd guess ... given the worsening at night... that varicose veins might be a matter to be addressed and a great addition would be "Horse Chestnut" which is famous for helping with that particular circulation problem too.

So I'd add that too to the three I listed. I've had great success with HC."

I walk 10 miles per day and have not been to the doctor in 7 years. Eating regular food and taking some sb and Apple Cider Vinegar is not going to enable you to do that. Take my mother for example. She fell and broke her hip due to osteoperosis. I said take some hawaiin spirulina. She puts a piece of iceburg lettuce on her chicken sandwich for the vegetable. She has gout in her hands. I say take a herbal remedy. She drinks a beer for some folk medicine. She is so funny she could guest star on snl. Thank you."

11/18/2013: MJones from New York: "Oh; not sure what you are taking? 700 g. of food grade.. what is that?? My diet is mainly vegetarian and organic .. I do walk and bike and do the best I can.. I also do supplements and some herbs.. do veggies and fruits and sometimes use spirulina.. I drink lemons and try and stay as alkaline as I can. I drink alkaline water..still need tweeking but working on it... So what is your regime?? Thank you."

11/18/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "MJones: I take concentrates because they are less costly and more convenient than produce. I take 1/2 gallon water kefir from 60g organic whole cane sugar and 60g organic buckwheat flour, 200g organic whole dried cane sugar, 200g raw wildflower honey, 8oz. organic berries, 7g Hawaiian spirulina, 3g chlorella, 10g nondefatted dessicated liver, 20g nondenatured whey isolate, 5g absorbable colostrum, 30g raw organic cocoa powder, 60ml thai fish sauce, 1oz. organic tomato paste, 20g expellar pressed coconut oil, 30g black chia seeds, 1tsp. sesame oil, 3g cold processed maca, 3g yucca powder, 2g 90, 000hu cayenne, 3ml. skate liver oil, and drink 2 gallons of water. This is the way us simple country bumkins here in rocky mountain high just live naturally as God intended like our hunter gatherer ancestors. Happy and cheerful and joyful living everyone at fabulous E.C., the best place for God's Goodies."

11/18/2013: Marie from New York: "Hi, well that is a lot of stuff you take.. wow.. Not sure I could do all of that..

Right now I eat organic veggies and fruits and take some spirulina when I remember. I also drink green tea and other herb teas.. I take the acv, baking soda and use astragulus root..Oh; I do not eat red meat or chicken or turkey and soy in very very low moderation when I know its sneaked in some food.. LOL..

I take Taurine, magnesium, vit.E, D and use chia seeds, cayenne pepper and turmeric .. I also use beet root powder and Olive Leaf Extract..

I think that is it for now. I am going to add COQ10 and thinking of some omega although I use olive oil and eat fish. I also drink lemons and once in while get some veggie juice at health food store..

Most of my diet is good and never eat out or eat fast food. I am 59 and female.. I just wonder these days what is good or bad. LOL"

08/04/2013: Evasan from Spanaway, Washington: "My gallbadder was removed in 2007, now I'm having rapid dumping syndrome?? My Dr. is confused. Has anyone had this problem? Thank You. Eva"

08/06/2013: Louwrence from Rustenburg, North West South Africa: "Hi Evason, one always has problems when you remove your gallbladder."

08/06/2013: Trudy from Va: "This is called bile salts diarrhea. you eat, bile dumps to digest fats, you can't small-dose the bile w/o bladder, so you get 'poisoned' by all the bile. There is a product called cholestyramine that absorbs fats in the system--it's like sawdust that you mix up and drink before you eat. Nasty, but it'll fix your D. Ask your pharmacist, they know more than the dr, and he may be able to call the dr and get you a prescription. Don't suffer, or waste money on 'natural' fixes to an unnatural problem."

11/18/2013: Mary from Blacksburg, Va: "I get the stomach dumping as well but ONLY when I eat at certain restaurants. Seems an additive or preservative causes my issue. Example-lettuce from Wendy's does it every time or something from Olive Garden probably the lettuce as well. However, Lettuce from Burger King does not do it. So I assume that it is the spray additive used to keep the lettuce from turning brown or another commonly used, in the restaurant industry, chemical. But I also get it from some home cooked meals when I use certain products. But when I cook something from all raw ingredients I do not get it."

11/18/2013: Trudy from Al: "Mary from Blacksburg: this is typical of ibs-d and gallbladder issues. Many things can cause it, but there are a few things you can do the prevent it. One is to take a psyllium product (you can get it in capsules, so it's portable). When traveling, I take 3-6 capsules right before eating. They say to drink lots of water with them, but I drink constantly so I don't drink additional. They absorb fluids in the gut and seems to calm the area, so you don't get hit as hard by the food you then put in there. My issue is oils, mainly, and the psyllium coats and soothes. Yes, it's marketed as a laxative, but it's kind of gelatinous and not a stimulant. Pulls fluid into the gut, but not if it has already absorbed the bile caused to be pumped in by whatever you ate. Heather von Vorous has an article about it at her ibs website."

06/15/2013: Anonymous : "Hi Desmond, This is great news and thanks for posting. However please consider carrying on with a small dose of Blackstrap Molasses ever day and try and investigate why you had the clot as they can be a red flag to some other disease."

07/18/2013: Kt from The USA: "Hi Desmond, did you use just "Molasses" or Blackstap Molasses?"

[YEA]  11/18/2013: Annice from Texas: "Thank you Desmond for taking the time to post this. The same thing happened to me.J ust below my knee on the calf of my leg. It just kept swelling and it was red. We had just watched Dr. Oz the day before, and he told of the symptoms of a blood clot. It was scary.

I am not one to run to the doctor for just what ever. But I thought well now I have to go. Did not expect to find any help for a blood clot. OK, Blackstrap molasses, really .I went straight to the grocery store (I brought my Tblsp) with me. Took it before I left the parking lot .I was desperate. It has been a week now. And the clot seems to be gone.I took 2 tbls a day mixed in 6oz. of milk. I plan to keep taking it. Maybe not as much, but it seems to be a healthy addition to anyones diet. I used the Brer Rabbit brand because the lable showed to have more iron and magnesium than the grandmas brand. Hope this helps someone."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "There is already an optimal healthy supplement for blood clots - fibrolytic enzymes e.g. nattokinase (clot buster). Given that it could be a life or death issue, I would recommend that people retire molasses and other treatments to the dustbin as a treatment unless they can't get access to the enzyme."

11/18/2013: Jaimine from Gujarat, India: "Can we apply apple cidar vinegar in pubic region? If yes then how to apply it?"

11/18/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Jaimine,

When applying Apple Cider Vinegar to a sensitive skin area or on young children, we dilute it. Try 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water. If that is too strong, dilute more. If it ends up too weak, move to half vinegar half water. You could apply it with a cotton ball or put the solution in a spray bottle and spray and do this several times a day.

You might consider adding turmeric to what you are doing. Taking between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon of turmeric twice a day may be helpful. You can take it in milk (whole milk is best as it works best with some fat.)

Also, extra virgin coconut oil with a little tea tree essential oil in it, may be helpful and soothing. (1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 5 drops of tea tree oil.)

I hope this works for you. Please let us know if it helps!

~Mama to Many~"

11/18/2013: Tabitha from Kennewick, Wa: "How long should I leave the cayenne paste on my rash? Please get back to me as soon as u can cuz im in a whole lot of pain."

11/18/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Tabitha,

So sorry about the shingles!

I do not know how long the person who wrote the post left the cayenne in place. It sounds as if people apply it and then reapply as needed. I know a man who used cayenne to pack a bleeding wound and left the cayenne in the wound. It did not cause a problem to leave the cayenne in the wound. (And it stopped the bleeding and left the ER wondering how he got the bleeding to stop! )

I once made an apple cider vinegar/cayenne liniment to put on a sore foot and just left it on.

If you haven't tried it yet, the cayenne may burn upon contact, but that usually goes away quickly. If it bothers you beyond that, you could wash it off.

You may want to take the cayenne internally as well. I like 1/2 teaspoon in some grape juice or carrot juice a couple of times a day when I need the cayenne.

Let us know how it goes. I hope you find much relief with the cayenne!

~Mama to Many~"

08/16/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Get a Prostrate Examination. Enlarged Prostrate can result in frequent urination. Good Health"

08/16/2013: Larry from Fairfax, Va: "Similar to you, frequent urination has been a problem for me since Oct. 2012, when I also developed eczema, which also continues to the present day. In my case, I believe that I have a toxin that my body cannot easily release..... So, I drink a lot of water in order to prevent dehydration due to frequently urinating. Also, I try to maintain a high mineral intake because frequent urination removes minerals from the body..... Do you have any idea what may have been the immediate cause of your frequent urination problem? Let's continue to share information. Good luck."

08/17/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "@Namaw: To help normalize your seeming out-of-balance condition, I would recommend a high quality health food brand multivitamin/mineral plus an "Antioxidant Complex". Replace processed salt w/ Iodized Sea Salt. Also take the amino acid Taurine to help balance the minerals and water retention."

08/17/2013: Faeqa from Jordan: "Hi Namaw, according to Arabic old medicine your kidneys are too hot, for that they are too active. Try to cool them by vinegar poultices and don't be in sauna."

11/15/2013: Vc3s from Boise Id: "I have problem like that too when ever I sit down I never go all the way it feels like some is still left over, then have to go again... I HATE the taste of water so I often have to force myself to drink it and im sick of going to the dr where they precripe me meds that work for a month then stop."

11/15/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Vc3s: Free radicals and a lack of nutrients cause the prostrate to enlarge and make bad testosterone called bht. Take 7g hawaiin spiulina and 1/2oz. organic tomato paste. The carotenoids provide therapy. 1/2 of the carotenoids in the tissues are lycopene. Olive leaf extract is also high in these beneficial substances."

11/15/2013: Gertie from Waynesboro, Va: "I have the same kind of thing. I urinate, have to really concentrate so I empty my bladder completely, then when I stand up some more leaks out. I don't get it. I drink lots of water, take 1 tbs Apple Cider Vinegar daily in a full glass. I have done this my whole life. If you tell a dr, they right away think you have incontinence or urgency. I don't. Also, I can go w/ much volume and then, 5 minutes later, go again w/ much volume. What's up with that?"

11/15/2013: Kathleen from San Antonio, Texas: "Check out symptoms of insipidus diabetes. There are two forms that will require testing to confirm. Though the symtoms are the same, treatment is not. I have a relative awaiting a Dr. appointment and possible testing. I did see a little bit about it on curezone."

11/16/2013: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Gertie, you can try adding a LITTLE bit of good salt (Celtic, Himalayan etc.) to your drinking regime. Like a small lick every 2 or three glasses that you drink. Do NOT overdo it."

11/16/2013: Sunny from Ca: "Go to get a diagnosis at Dr. Can be overactive bladder, intersitital cystitis, try kegal excercises. Hope you feel better!"

11/16/2013: Sunny from Ca: "Dear Faeqa from Jordan: How do you do the Vinegar Poultices? Thanks!!!"

11/17/2013: Faeqa from Amman, Jordan, Jordan: "Hi Sunny:P our enough vinegar over 2 small cotton towels or dip the towels in AVC and put it over the kidneys separately, don’t put it over the spine and keep it far from the nerves because it is harm for the nerves to be cooled. You can put it for half hour or more if you can. Wishing health for you"

11/17/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mark: Carbon dioxide has a myriad of functions, mainly by forming carboxylated adducts with macro molecules. Carbon dioxide is produced in the process of energy generating metabolism. The amount of carbon dioxide produced in relation to the amount of energy consumed is the respiratory quotient. Sugar oxidation produces a higher RQ than fatty acid oxidation. The stress metabolism, in stark contrast, wastes carbon dioxide. Fructose generates more carbon dioxide than starches. Blood clotting proteins, for activity, require carboxylation of their glutamate residues. The enzyme catalyzing the first step in the synthesis of fats, uses carbon dioxide, forming malonyl CoA."

11/17/2013: Marie from Long Island New York: "I dont understand what you said.. Can you simplify this? I use Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda .. So is it safe or not..? I was using it to stay alkaline and lower blood pressure and all... Its confusing with conflicting reports as to what is harmful and what is safe. How can we ever know what is right or wrong? Thank You."

11/16/2013: Karen from Toronto, On: "My feeling is that people with REAL fybromyalgia (70% of "sufferers" are misdiagnosed) THAT'S A LOT!! If they take it long enough WILL see the results! You need to take at least 4 tablespoons a day for 6 or more months to see what your hoping for...(little to NO pain) Healing takes time. I have had fybromyalgia (tested 18/18 for trigger points) for almost 20 years! In horrible pain and terrible chronic fatigue with many food allergies that went with it - like the nightshades and sugar. I began the DE 1/2 year ago. Started at 2tbs a day and upped it a few weeks later to 4-8 tbs a day. I now have such little pain anywhere in my body that I have to concentrate to see if I can feel anything! AND along with that the food allergies dissappeared as well as the chronic fatigue. I can even eat nightshade vegetables...and anyone with real fybro knows how painful the sligtest amount of one of those are.

If you've been told you have fibro but your doctor has not done the 18 point pressure test....then he doesn't know what he's talking about. You could very well be suffereing from something else and not getting the proper treatment. People ALL the time are being told they have fybro when the doctor just can't figure out why they have pain. A pain in your hip is not fybro, you have to have at least 11 different spots to have mild fybro. The reason I mention this is b/c people try to cure themselves of fybro who don't really have it - then tell others it doesn't work! IT DOES WORK. Drink it only with water on empty tummy - do it right and be patient. It CAN work for you too! =D"

11/17/2013: Prioris from Fl: "The 18 point test for fms is very very subjective. The doctor presses some point and then asks how the patient how they feel. how does the patient objectively judge the pain. of the patient does answer, how does the doctor judge the answer. different doctors may pressure the points with different amount of pressure also. if one answers only to 9 points, does that mean it is less painful than 18 points. this test needs to be retired into the dust bin at some point.

fms is a very murky disease with not any symptom that really stands out. there is a spectrum of severity where many fms people can easily be diagnosed with lyme or cfs or gws or ms or lupus ot other things. they have most of the unknown muscular skeleton problems under this label. even lyme tests can a murky area.

what is it about fms that really stands it apart from other chronic diseases in terms of symptoms. I would be really hard put to point out a truly distinquishing symptom. like many chronic diseases, it is in a syndrome category.

the whole area is a mess. trying to untangle this entire area can be difficult. this makes research on it very difficult since fms may end up being multiple diseases. this may even invalidate many studies on fms especially prevalence.

they have made an effort to water down the diagnosis procedure for cfs to mix non cfs people with cfs people so studies can be subverted to whatever they like.

i'd get the ciguatoxin test to rule out me/cfids/cfs because it is objective.

your right, many people are walking around with wrong diagnosis."

11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl: "... "Estimates are that 60% to 70% of us with FMS have symptoms very similar to costochondritis. No one is exactly sure whether it is true costochondritis or why it occurs with FMS, especially since FMS doesn't cause inflammation."

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

Notice the contradiction in FMS definition says FMS does not cause inflammation while costochondritis which most people with fms is ignored. Costochodritis inflammation was the most painful part of the fms condition. The sleep disorder is caused by the physical pain.

Tiredness or difficulty exercising is not distinguishing. Stiff muscles - what does that mean. People can get stiff muscles by just being inactive.

They have fms - "classified as mild cognitive disorders". many fms labeled people would not agree with the word "mild".

One person talking about fms may be world's apart from someone else who has fms. I think the fms label needs to be broken down further. I think infections (inflammation) vs non-infection groups may need to be separated especially symptom wise along with cognitive aspect."

EC: "There are many different groups of streptococci bacteria. Group A strep, or Streptococcus pyogenes, causes strep throat and skin infections, including necrotizing fasciitis, commonly known as the "flesh-eating bacteria" infection. Group B strep, or Streptococcus agalactiae, harmlessly colonizes the genital tract of up to 40 percent of women. Although the bacteria are present, they do not cause disease. Certain groups of people are susceptible to infectious disease from Group B strep, however. They include newborns, women who have just given birth, and certain other adults, usually those who have underlying medical problems." http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/group-b-strep-in-vagina.html

[WORKED TEMPORARILY]  01/25/2009: Erin from Staten Island, NY: "I hope that you can put the following information under a new category:
Group Strep B

Hibiclens douche did work for me temporarily but not permanently.

I did alot of reading on different vitamins and supplements that helped many women with group strep b and that were recommended by midwives. I got group strep b with overuse of antibiotics (not pregnant, no underlying conditions). Doctors tried to change the ph of my body but nothing worked till now. Here is what actually worked for me permanently.

2 pills twice a day- Can be found the health food store.

Grapefruit Seed Extract
Super Echinacea
Bee Propolis
PH-Basic caplets (restores PH)
Colloidal Silver
Vitamin C (1000mg)

Within hours my condition cleared. From yellow discharge to white and clear and much much less. People also use garlic tablets, but I haven't tried that. Hope this helps."

EC: We'll add a new page in the next week or so for Group Strep B.

10/26/2009: Lynn from Elmira, Ny: "u say u took 2 pills 2 times a day. to help with strep b (get from health food store.) then theres a list of pills. what 2 pills did you take or do you take all of them? grapefruit seed extract, super echinacen, bee propolis, ph-basic caplets (restore ph), colloidal silver,vitamin c (1000 mg)."

EC: Looks like it is a list of the ingredients found in one supplement.

11/17/2013: Tonia from Plainfield, Nj: "I read about using this soap also. It was suggested that my partner wash with it to avoid reinfecting me. However, when I went to the drug store to buy it, the bottle says not for use in the genital area. I also tried looking for more info online, and found the same warning. But with you saying his it worked for you and in Europe, I may just try this. Thanks."
