Re: Pillow and Mattress Topper for Joint Pain
30 days agoI have the most awesome bed ever! A mattress, a twin size quilt (perfect size to top a Queen size mattress), a 2 inch feather bed topper, an original memory foam topper, which is about 20 years - which, despite the normal aged yellowing of the foam, still remembers - an old, Minnesota forestry down sleeping bag (which is also perfect Queen size, opened up with the zipper cut off), a mattress protector into which all of that fits and a thick linen cover over that. And it's all topped off with an organic linen fitted sheet. And I use another light linen fabric as the perfect blanket and it's all I need, whether it's over 100F or sub-zero weather.
The best thing about it is pulling the top linen sheet that keeps me cool in summer and warm in winter only half way up in winter, sleeping until I wake up cold, then pulling it up to my chin and feeling it warm up and warm me up in a matter of seconds. Linen has just always awed me and awes me still, even after all these decades! And I LOVE being awed!!
Not only does linen wick sweat which then cools the skin by evaporation in the air from the windows and provide moisture to dry skin in winter, both, it also switches from warming to cooling and back again, as needed, very quickly. It's a marvel!
I'm not an 8 hour sleeper but I DO take my sleeping seriously, ROFL! PLUS, I don't particularly like the mattress at the bottom of it all but, it's like new and tossing it isn't an option so I just sort of built another multi-tasker of a mattress on top of it. An AWEsome mattress! Like it came straight from the magical world of Narnia! It's hard to even just walk past without laying down and rolling all over it!!

30 days agoQuestion: Should we limit our intake of fruits?
1 month agoHey, Great to have such a reply! Yes I spent some time today going through some stuff and I will get it organized over the next week or 2 and start posting some stuff.
As for the carb and fat question...we eat coconut oil with everything. Sweet potatoes, Pumpkin, veggies, even rice. We always add it to our carbs, as for us it works the best. We have noticed several long term effects from this. 1) We feel more full during/after eating. 2) Our skin and hair have changed in the last 2 years dramatically for the better. 3) It breaks down the food better for better nutrient absorption/digestion. 4) We noticed that cravings have disappeared. 5) Last and most importantly-our blood profiles reflect it.
Eggs are excellent choice. We eat a lot of them. We also do a lot of nuts and seeds as well.
As I mentioned I will get more organized and have info ready soon.
Thanks, have a great day!
Re: Scabies Mites in Nose and Mouth
1 month agoSo you have never experienced any skin issues from the ivermectin? Unfortunately it is my face that gets affected.
When I asked (begged) my doctor through email to refill the scripts I got from the 20 something year old doctor I originally saw, she gave me a referral to a dermatologist. A nurse called me from her office who had read my email and said the same thing happened to her and she went to a psychiatrist who told her she was having a nervous breakdown and it was all in her head. I just laughed and then I was sent a referral to a psychologist. Mind you I had not been to her office. I tried calling some derms and there was a waiting list of 6 months for new patients. So I emailed her that I couldn't get an appointment so they gave me a referral to the walk in clinic. This doctor wouldn't come near me to look at my lesions. She just gave me another script for ivermectin and permethrin even though I asked her if I should try the sulfur lotion since the other cream wasn't working. My doctor moved my annual physical to July from April obviously hoping I would be cured by then. Sorry for venting. I'm sure others have experienced similar things from their doctors who didn't believe them.
Re: Vitamin C to Dissolve Iodine Stain
1 month agoRe: Shingles
1 month agoI just read a blog by an acupuncturist who had shingles. He recommended moxibustion, Neem creme (Theraneem) for the postherpetic pain (neem surrounds the virus, prevents it from entering and infecting cells, kratom (mitragyna speciosa) for pain relief - it's an anti-inflammatory - he believes it helps in the healing over gabapentin which has many side effects. (Acupuncture and many of the herbs on EC didn't help his pain. Unfortunately, what works for one, doesn't work for another.)
Shingles visited my RN girlfriend last week. The ER doc gave her 50mg gabapentin - a high dose that she wasn't comfortable with and questioned. She said it helped. So far no side effects.
I spoke to my Rife practitioner who said Rife kills the virus. An RN friend left western medicine and began on a holistic journey. She introduced me to Rife and we both swear by it for just about everything.
As a sidenote, our babbling, happy grandson went blank 3 days after a vaccine; the babbling turn into a high pitched, shrilled singing. Rife helped along with high quality Omegas and B vitamins. He still has some autistic tendencies but is no where near what he was.
Yesterday, a friend was saying 3 out of her 5 grandkids have autistic tendencies - from minimal symptoms to full on. Why, are our babies and toddlers suffering from autism??? No one can tell me it's not the vaccs after witnessing our grandson's immediate change. When are parents and grandparents going to stand up? Sorry... I get so angry at being told vaccs are safe and mandatory, only to see the number of autistic rates increase exponentially. God Bless our children
Re: Gadolinium
1 month agoHello Bobbie,
Your ND is correct. There are thousands of lawsuits involving both the gadolinium and iodine contrast agents. Both HIGHLY TOXIC and for many people these substances do not leave the body for many reasons. Despite knowing the risks, I did go along with gadolinium 30 years ago and developed a painful connective tissue disorder.
Years ago they used to use a "non-toxic" contrast agent called Gallium. Though, this agent "cured" some diseases so they replaced it with Gadolinium (unbelievable?). I worked in Radiology 20+ years ago and remember the older physicians lamenting about how much better gallium was and what a crime that it was replaced with toxic agents.
Very difficult to "detox" from gadolinium. PREVENTION far better than trying to treat a serious health condition. Though, several approaches are used to detox gadolinium from the body.
Best wishes, Sherri
Re: Shingles Vaccine
1 month agoMy husband is wanting us to get the shingles vaccine. After some research, I read the Zostavas vaccine is no longer available in the US (it had approximately a 50% success rate). The article recommended not getting the vaccine if you've never had chickenpox (a blood test can check your immunity); if the blood test is negative, the varicella vaccine is recommended instead. Those with a weakened immune system that compromises the immune system should avoid it.
Still, I'm vascillating (I've had a compromised immune system and am GF). I never had pox as a child (was a baby when 2 older siblings bro ut it home from school). Thoughts from contributors and readers?
Re: Scabies Mites in Nose and Mouth
1 month agoRe: Scabies Mites in Nose and Mouth
1 month agoHi JT,
I don't have any experience dealing with scabies. But I do really like turpentine and diatomaceous earth for any and all things parasitic (which scabies are in my opinion). And of course, ivermectin is very useful in so many areas (parasitic, viral, even cancer). I'm sorry to hear your doctor is not interested in helping you with this. I would venture to say it's because he/she has no idea how to deal with these things. I think you've got a good plan of action with following the ivermectin protocol you found in the PubMed article. Just work your way up with the ivermectin dosage if you can comfortably do so without any major side effects. Simultaneously, give some of the other suggestions posted here on Earth Clinic a try. I did see that alldaychemist sells a couple of generic versions of the diflucan. Hope this helps.

Question: Should we limit our intake of fruits?
1 month agoHi Jo, How are you doing? Thank you for your response. And thank you for being positive. I agree with you on just about everything. For example, 1) Yes, excessive glucose is excessive sugar in the body; 2) Yes, the body will store it as fat; 3) Yes, the excessive fruit intake will overwork the pancreas; 4) Yes, eventually a lack of insulin response will be an issue; and 5) Yes, anything in excess is probably not good, regardless of what it is. Further, Jo, when you said you had mountains of research documents, I began wondering if you had any research papers on combining easy to digest carbs and fats. Examples of healthy fats would be (raw) egg yolks and (raw) fatty fish. Of fruits there are 500 different species of fruits. Combining carbs and fats would make a lot of sense, because then and only then the insulin response would be attenuated (weakened, reduced), which most likely would also minimize the response of the pancreas. In this field, so far my research has been limited to the research of a Wai, a woman from the Netherlands, who in the last 10+ years has very generously shared her high-quality research on www.waisays.com.

Re: Scabies Mites in Nose and Mouth
1 month agoThank you for your reply. I have done a parasite cleanse unknowingly. I had a stomach thing and did not eat for 3 days. The third day I had bad cramps so took some charcoal. I often use it for headaches as I have many allergies and sensitivities. I must have starved the thing inside me as I saw something in the bowl that was like 15” long. I took a picture of it as there was nothing in my stomach and emailed my doctor to see if she wanted to see the picture and she did not reply. When I contracted the scabies from Maine where I went to a wedding, they obviously did not clean the cabin I stayed in. When I started feeling them bite my doctor was on vacation so I saw someone else who did look at the picture and prescribed me albendazole and ivermectin. I collected 100's of things from my bed for the next week and also from toilet. There were many different “things” I found when I went digging and I put them in a jar. Still my doctor did not want to see them. This has been going on since September and here I am looking for alternatives as what I was prescribed obviously didn't work nor would it help with my nose and mouth. I have given up on the one dose of ivermectin and permethrin cream once a week. I will try your suggestion. I did have a skin reaction on the 3rd time on ivermectin and seems I am having it again. The previous time it only responded to nystatin cream so not sure if it was from an imbalance in my skin or a purging. If you have any experience with this I would like to know how you solved it. Does that alldaychemist sell diflucan without script?
Borax for Lichen Sclerosus, Hemorrhoids, Knee Pain
1 month agoBORAX vs LICHEN SCLEROSUS & HEMORRHOIDS & KNEE PAIN
After a year of suffering of this terrible and embarrassing condition, I was cured with Borax. All those women who like me suffer of this problem, know exactly how terrible it is to suffer of this ailment. The more itching it got, the more things I tried to treat it with, but nothing ever worked. Thus, my getting more and more stressed about it, caused the itchiness to worsen and becoming unbearably intense. I tried applying organic yoghurt, kefir, apricot kernel seed oil, olive oil, castor oil, black seed oil, oats milk, apple cider vinegar baths, baths, took oregano drops, and other things I don't even remember anymore. I scratched myself so hard at times, that brought myself to tears just by seeing my private part completely hurt and bleeding at times. The itchiness woke me up many times in the middle of the night, and I remember going to the bathroom, inspecting myself and seeing my labial area in total flames and with red specs all over. I was in fire and ready to scratch myself with a hard wire brush. I had Borax at home, which I was already taking now and then, but it never occurred to treat myself with it. I started doing research and came across an article of a lady who like me, walked on fire with this thing, and found relieve with Borax. I follow her advise but with some tweak, and today, I can almost say that I am cured. I started taking borax and bicarbonate of soda baths and after the first wash, I felt alieve for the first time in over 12 months. I started to sleep longer and found peace in my highly stressed body. I was saved as healing was happening. At first I was doing it about 3 times a day. Then, as it got better and better, two and then once a day, but I wash with that solution in the toilette seat three to two times a week only now, and sometimes, just one time. After the wash, I pat dry myself and apply apricot kernel see oil to sooth the delicate skin down there.
My husband also did the exact same treatment to treat hemorroides.
I can also 100% confirm that a pain I had in my right knee is completely gone, as well as the pain starting to develop in my left knee, after drinking it with water every day. I noticed that after I was healed from the Lichen Schlerosus. I was so absorbed and worried about that problem, that only after I recovered from that devastating condition, I noticed that both my knees were also pain free.
Who would've thought that a simple product off the supermarket shelve would be the solution to this problem, and so many others.
