EC: Hi Brian!

Yesterday we posted on Earth Clinic's Facebook account about your wonderful thread. Here it is if you haven't seen it yet! https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10201656164194097&id=60803892726

[YEA]  06/02/2012: Robbie from London, England: "You are my new God!!! Ten years of these tyrannical polyps, and this sugar free idea is working wonders. It's day five of my new diet, and my snoring has completely stopped. My voice isn't nasal anymore, food tastes better, and I can breathe through my nose for the first time since my op, (five years ago) and every day it's getting better and better. Got the shock of my life when I smelt my shower gel this morning, forgot how amazing the sense of smell is! Literally feel like a superhero walking around. Thank you so much for sharing your findings, you have literally changed my life! - one happy dude!!! :-)"

06/03/2012: Brian from Adelaide, Sth Aus, Australia: "Hi Robbie. That is great news! Cured in 5-days is a truly amazing feat and I too had very early success with just cutting out simple sugars. But I am fearful your polyps will reform as mine did (the fungi that are the root cause are very resilient). Perchance they do, please remember to limit all Carbohydrates to 10% of product consumed and then just persevere for renewed success.

The most successful anti fungal/anti polyp diet should consist of nothing but lean meat, eggs, nuts and low carb vegetables (luckily I love steak or lamb chops & 3 veg, beef & veg stews, mince meat recipes, almonds, strawberries & cream and for breakfast, bacon & eggs alternated with avocado & yoghurt). No other fruit except tomatoes. No cheese. Also limit caffeine which prompts the liver to dump large doses of sugar into the blood stream. I will admit I do eat wholemeal bread at 37% carbs as toast under the bacon & eggs and also for a work lunch sandwich but I offset the bread with low carb fillings so the total carbs in the meal itself is under 10%.

I don't believe this is a lifelong sentence and at a guess may need between 4-6 months before safely reintroducing sugary products again but by then, the yearn for sugar (read poison) has hopefully diminished anyway.

Thank you for the Yea!"

[YEA]  06/26/2012: Suman from New Delhi, Delhi, India: "Dear Ted, I am really grateful to you for writing about your findings here. About two months ago, my nasal polyps (I've had them for about 7 years) were at their worst and I was desperately looking for a cure. My research led me to findings similar to yours, but after reading your post in which you succinctly explain the link between sugar and nasal polyps, I was convinced that this is the way forward.

On 30 April 2012 I went off sugar completely and within 6 weeks, I had stopped mouth-breathing. My sense of smell came back gradually and is only getting better day by day. I can taste my food again! It is a gradual process where some days it may look worse especially in the beginning, but like you have mentioned, one must persevere, because it does work.

The other thing that I did was I applied Tea Tree Oil directly to my polyps with ear-buds for about a week. I believe Tea tree oil is a strong anti-fungal and many people have recommended it here too. My thinking was that if there was any surface fungal growth, that would be taken care of by the Oil.

I have also noted your additional point about reducing carbohydrates too, and I am in agreement and will put it into action.

Thanks Ted. People, this really works!"

08/25/2012: Brian from Adelaide, Sth Aus, Australia: "Hi Doeboymcjc. I've never bothered with potions and lotions. I truly believe the cause is a yeast infection and the only way to eradicate the yeast is to stop feeding them sugar, which means reducing carbohydrates in your diet. I now call it my 10% Plan. I am also starting to think that us polyp sufferers have a direct metabolic link to our Paleo ancestry and that we are not meant to consume carbohydrates. I am so convinced that my theory works that if you, or anyone else for that matter, would like my help to achieve the 10% Plan that you "brianb2@" (email me) "chariot(dot)net(dot)au" with reference to Earth Clinic in the subject line to avoid unread deletion. My advice is absolutely free and it takes about one month to achieve a truly remarkable and virtually miraculous cure. I do stress however, that one must be prepared to reduce consuming sugar so as not to waste my time. Cheers : )"

[YEA]  09/15/2012: Brian from Adelaide, Sth Aus, Australia: "This week I saw my doctor on a matter apart from polyps but while I was there, I did ask for a nose examination. Without any declaration all he said was "How did you do that?" So me, the patient, then told the doctor how I cured my polyps.

The cure is free. It doesn't come in a bottle there are no magic potions, lotions or sprays and operations are a useless waste of time and money. All you need to do is swap the energy source you get from carbs and go high on protein at the same time. My absolute recommended low carb limit is 10% of product and there are no limits on protein bacon and eggs, all meat products, beef, lamb, poultry and fish- the diet of our paleo ancestors. Generally, serve with above ground and not below ground veggies (potatatoes & parsnip are the worst) but also avoiding corn, nuts and fruit.

To appease the sweet tooth, surprisingly, strawberries and cream are okay. It's the sweet tooth that gets one into this mess so it's denying the sweet tooth that is the only way out. From experience, the yearn for sugar does subside in due course. And also, if one is a Vegan, sorry to have to say it but you may never find a cure.

What I said to the doctor is this. Low carb, high protein. The problem is a yeast infection of the nose. The yeast feed on sugar in the diet and produce ethanol (read alcohol, which causes brain-fog) as well as compromising the thyroid which compromises Vit D levels and in turn compromises the immune system which is supposed to control the alien yeast infection. The immune system desperately needs help and the only way to do that is to reduce carbs in the diet, reduce the ethanol, unconfuse the the thyroid, boost the Vit D, boost the immune system response and win the battle. All for free just by changing the carbs intake to less than 10% of product and go high on protein to maintain energy and weight levels. And it takes about a month to get there if you don't cheat. Cheers :)"

[NAY]  09/27/2012: Doeboymcjc from London, UK: "Hi, just an update. I am on week 5 of my no sugar diet and still no changes. I cannot smell and my nose is still blocked up therefore I still have orange mucous.

After reading the posts on this forum I understand the problems that arise with yeast and carbs but with my job (winter sports salesperson and photographer) and my love of sports it will be almost impossible to eliminate sugar, carbs and yeast from my diet. Sugar is enough! I am going to buy a product called ______. This is supposed to irradicate all polyps and the reviews look great from people who have tried it.

Brian - thanks for the help with your posts. I have now lost about a stone with the no sugar diet ;)

I will keep you posted with any results with ____. Its not a natural cure but I'm fed up."

09/27/2012: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa: "Hi Doeboymcjc, I know both my husband and my oldest daughter found it is the elimination of both sugar AND dairy which gave them the results they wanted. They both know to stay away from dairy especially and when they give in to it, the results are immediate! Mucus, olfactory issues, swelling of the throat, itching ears and more. Enough to make them ask themselves, Is it worth it?! Sometimes they do it anyway... I always wonder why?! Lisa"

01/07/2014: Brian from Sth Aus, Australia: "My original theory on a yeast infection being the true cause of nasal polyps included the extension that it also caused corruption of the Immune System. It could also be that the reactions to dairy that Lisa described “Mucus, olfactory issues, swelling of the throat, itching ears and more” are also caused by a corrupted Immune System, which identifies the proteins in dairy as an invasion, releases antibodies in response, which in turn release histamines which then cause the bad reaction.

I will further theorise that it should then follow that the ability to consume dairy products without any ill effects would confirm a healthy Immune System. Conversely, a bad reaction would therefore confirm a corrupted Immune System which in turn, must then confirm a yeast infection as the cause of the corruption.

Yeast infection can only be eliminated by diet, by removing their carbohydrate food source being sugar and starch. Low Carb diets abound and can be quite confusing. I ignore them all and apply a 10% Carbs Content Rule to stand alone and products in combination meals. There are only three simple qualifications to apply:

• Convert the Total Carbohydrates total on packaged products to a percentage by weight or volume. Avoid any over 10% unless to be combined with a lower offset.
• Determine carbs content in fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds by researching ‘nutrition data’. The site I use, typing “raw” after a product limits the result.
• To maintain energy levels, consume protein in moderation and healthful fats without restriction but totally avoid all products containing trans fats.

High carb diets are also implicated in probably all of the major ailments that befall the world today, even including cancer. The only happy people are surgeons and owners of white collar drug companies and their shareholders.

Life is all about choices. People can also legally choose to either smoke or not and one is a healthier option than the other. In a perfect world, everybody would live their life without medical expenses. I have been polyp free and medication free for a long time now and instead of thinking Low Carb as being a restrictive diet, I think of it as a lifestyle choice. It isn’t a diet anymore, it’s simply a better way of life and easily the best choice.

Cheers."

01/09/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Brian from Australia,

Concerning loss of sense of smell. I did enjoy your post and your fine analytical style.

If you google "google scholar" and then "reasons for loss of sense of smell" you'll find a number of scientifically inclined papers which discuss a primary reason for loss of smell as

......Infection. And next,

......Lesions from some trauma to the nose/head.

For infections, I use colloidal silver to knock out viruses and for the lesions the use of serrapeptase, the enzyme which seems to have the ability to dissolve tissue structure. For instance, "serrapeptase scare tissue."

Other possible causes but of the articles that come up under the search I mentioned, those two seemed to be the most common.

On the "yeast infection" theory, very close to being "right on" but also might be viral. So if this were me, I'd at least try colloidal silver. I use CS as an irrigation; if it stings, I know an infection is present. I have to repeat many times to completely knock out the infection.

"Cheer" back at you."

01/11/2014: Brian from Sth Aus, Australia: "Hi Dave. Your intent was excellent and I thank you for that, but I think you responded to a misleading heading not of my choosing that appeared in Real-Time Posts. Please understand my sense of smell is totally functional and it was all due to the Elimination of Sugar that did in fact restore it. Also, as well as nasal polyps, every other health issue I acquired from a high carb diet has been eliminated since adopting a 10% Low Carb Lifestyle. I don’t take chemical treatments of any sort, which empowers my body chemistry to do its natural job, which further eliminates the need for treatments. It’s simple but it works. Cheers."

[YEA]  03/03/2014: Tanveer from Sydney, Austtralia: "Hi Brian, I must admit I was a bit sceptical about sugar being the driving force behind my nasal flares, but your logic made sense and as I had tried everything else I decided to give your suggestions a go and wow, I can’t believe how wrong I was, I am on my second month of low sugar diet and never in my life do I remember waking up in the middle of night and breathing through my nose, I used to have constant tension in my nasal passage due to inflammation, I have slight dust-mite allergy but the sugar in my diet was fuelling the allergy ten folds, I was bed ridden at least few times a month due to constant runny and itchy nose This was really ruining my career and life so much so that I had discussed with my family to go under knife,

One thing I would like to point out is that I have not completely eliminated all sugar from my diet, I still have my fruits but have eliminated all sugar that I used to add to my tea coffee (at least 4 cups a day), no fizzy drinks for me, no sweets but due to me being gym junkie I need to have protein shakes that do have sugar in them but that does not seem to have created any problems, may be because I burn more than I consume.

What is amazing is that even lowering my sugar intake has given me my life back, I can only see it getting better if I eliminate more sugar.

Other benefits I found by lowering my sugar intake were, my teeth seem to be glossy and whiter, As mentioned earlier that I am a gym junkie, I found that my sweat does not smell at all, I had read somewhere that the body odour is caused by bacteria feeding off sweat and it’s their faeces that give out the foul smell, I guess their digestive system does not cope with sugar very well either ;-) (This would be something for people who are fed up with finding a chemical free cure for body odour),

I also find my energy and attention levels are stable (I feel I am able to focus better now, may be because my body does not go through sugar spikes anymore which allows me to stay focused longer).

I hope people find this helpful as I had,

Thanks again, Tanveer"

03/09/2014: Brian from Australia: "Congratulations, Tanveer. I know going Low Carbs is not an easy decision to make, but as well as beating the polyps, please also take comfort in the many other health benefits you now possess. Such as, vastly reduced risks of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack and possibly even cancer, to name a few. The longer sugar is reduced the easier it gets to resist it and then find ways to reduce it even more. I agree the more you exercise the higher your sugar tolerance will be, which is why you are getting away with the fruit and protein shakes. If you ever stop exercising though, please ensure you make the necessary adjustments. I hadn’t thought of the body odour benefit before, suffice to say, all I do to avoid scented aluminium based expensive commercial deodorants, is make a cheap chemical free mix of 2 level teaspoons of bicarbonate soda per 100ml of aloe vera juice in a spray bottle. It doesn’t stop sweating, which is a natural body function that shouldn’t be stopped anyway, but it sure does stop odour. Cheers."

EC: Hi Brian!

03/09/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Nigel,

Feline Leukemia is a "retro-virus"....and can be cured by feeding (drops into mouth if necessary) Colloidal Silver which will kill the virus. If you can't get that, you could try other anti virus herbs, such as Echinacea, tea tree oil etc. But CS is best, assuming you can find some with sufficient parts per million. I make my own so know it is a high PPM."

03/09/2014: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "Here is a group that may be able to give you some good advice for your cat: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LDN_4_Pets/info. Good luck!"

03/10/2014: Jim from Frostburg, Maryland: "Strays with Feline leukemia respond well to feeding with raw chicken every day -- a couple of rounded tablespoons or as much as they will eat. Also give them fish oil; one or two capsules per day. Either squeeze a pricked capsule onto the back of their tongues or onto their hard or soft food. If the cat likes dairy, give it a teaspoon of Budwig made with the fish oil instead of flax. Flaxseed oil is fine but you'll likely have to force it down the cat's throat using a small clear plastic syringe with the funnel-end cut off and --very important --smoothed and rounded off with sandpaper. Cutting the syringe leaves a sharp-edge which will hurt the cat's gums and lips. You can alternatively hold the sharp cut-off end briefly over a flame, melting it into a rounded edge.

You'll need to fill the small syringe with the Budwig (or meat if it won't eat that) then insert the rubber-tipped plunger. The syringe at ready in your right hand, reach down and stroke the cat with your left hand. Straddle the cat from behind then quickly bend down on your haunches, your heels pulling close together so that the cat's rear exit is blocked. Grab the cat by cupping your left hand with fingers under the chin and the thumb at the upper-nose/eyes. While doing this worm your left-hand index finger into the left side of the cat's mouth. The mouth will open, allowing your right hand to insert the small plastic syringe centrally into it's mouth. Quickly push the plunger, expelling the Budwig or raw food. When performed properly the Budwig (or meat) is deposited onto the back of the tongue. Quickly remove the syringe while keeping your fingers and thumb clamped around the cat's jaws for a couple of seconds. This act will increase the odds that the cat will swallow. This is not as difficult as it reads.

Use of raw chicken and fish oil daily should result in noticeable improvements to the cats appearance in a few days. I have had cats diagnosed with FL live for 15 years with the use of raw meat added to their diets. I believe cereal diets produce weak immune systems.

BTW, one or two fish oil capsules administered daily has extended the lives of several of my own and my friend's' cats by years, even after being given terminal diagnoses by the vet."

12/12/2011: Bean Town from Boston, Ma: "I am suffering from mold/fungus exposure.. could you tell me what remedies and protocols you used to get better? please email with this info...nf622(at)aol.com"

12/24/2011: Faith from Forest Park, Ohio: "MOLD RECOVERY PROTOCOL...

I suffered from mold poisoning and the problem is that the mold settles in the body so you have to detoxify it. The best method that I found was The Gut and Psychology Diet while also including coconut oil on a regular basis. As far as antifungals coconut oil is a great one. I also used olive leaf and organic apple cider vinegar. The ACV should be taken before each meal, a few tablespoons in about an ounce of warm water. Cooking in all of the healthy fats helps you to detoxify the fungus... And making the fermented foods also helps to restore the good bacteria. There is HOPE, the body can repair itself.

In addition to this, it is best to flush the liver every few weeks. If your symptoms worsen, do a Apple Cider Vinegar enema to flush out the toxins, detox baths, or you can also take activated charcoal with plenty of water. Repeat the enema until you get clear fluids, take KELP and other SEAWEEDS to replenish minerals that you are missing AND drink plenty of homemade juices before and after a flush, or plenty of fresh JUICY fruits to replace minerals. Also take unsulphured black strap molasses to replenish minerals as well.

Diet should be based on Weston A. Price and GAP, these foods will heal you and plenty of bone broth will heal. I get my meat through a coop, best bones out there.... The broths alone did amazing things for us!"

12/24/2011: Karen from New York, Ny: "Faith - thanks so much for responding!!! I feel like I've tried everything and a year later I just don't feel any different at all.. And it's so frustrating. I will absolutely try your suggestions. was just wondering, what were your symptoms? and how long did you suffer from them? Really appreciate your help.

merry christmas! :)"

12/25/2011: Peppinstepp from Massachusetts, Usa: "Drinking juices and fruit may NOT be a good thing!!! Many people who have mold issues also have yeast issues, and all the sugar from the juices and fruit (and these have tons of sugar, ) may be encouraging and promoting the yeast overgrowth, symptoms of which can be just as devastating as those from mold. The best diet for ANY detox is the candida diet (or even the lyme diet which is similar. ) It is very limited but very poweful and it WORKS. You can google it.

I have lyme, mold and yeast issues and I've been on the first stage of the candida diet for a month and I can't believe how fast my body is detoxing. I've never had rashes or pimples and for the past two weeks I've been covered in them. So I can see all the toxins coming out! I also take ammonia baths and have done a couple of colonics. Both of these have helped tremendously, but in my opinion, the MOST important thing in dealing with mold and yeast, is the DIET. No sugar though!"

12/27/2011: Faith from Forest Park, Ohio: "My symptoms were too many to list, and I don't want to scare you, but seizures, hallucinations, mood swings, rashes, chronic fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, fungus on body, yeast, hearing loss right side, tumors, moles, etc. It's been really tough detoxifying my body while in the house. I got much better, and I thought leaving was the answer, but I'm not where I would like to be. I developed MCS as a result of the mold toxicity.

Good bacteria in the body is the key if you can get past the detox... That is all the fermented foods that you can stand on a daily basis... Do the enemas and baths to help with detox. Try painting iodine on the body during the morning to help with detox as well, and eating various kinds of kelp. I cook with help in all my bone broths and stews... But again detox is horrible. I would be interested to hear who is still in their home, I'm considering going back and trying to clean up my home because RENTING is worse... You CANNOT control mold in rental units... You will GET WORSE! Plus, if you take your THINGS with you, you are TAKING THE PROBLEM WITH YOU... It gets in your belongings!"

12/28/2011: Karen from New York, Ny: "Faith thanks so much for your help!!! I have also suffered from many of these scary symptoms - and some have resolved itself but still dealing w the rashes, fatigue, brain fog, etc. How long did it take for you to feel a difference or any improvements though?? I moved out of my moldy house and am now currently somewhere which I believe is very clean, we were VERY careful with our belongings and for the most part didn't take ANY furniture (if we did we thoroughly cleaned it with thieves oils) and same goes for our clothes. It's been two months now and I'm not feeling much better, but hoping to start on a diet like you suggested and am hoping that will help out as well. I also just started on something called cholestepure (the alternative to CSM that Dr. Richie Shoemaker uses) to help w/ the mold toxins. I'm nervous about doing the ammonia baths like many others have suggested because I don't know how safe they are but people claim that they're super effective - appreciate everyone's help though, and hoping that this will eventually pass so I can feel like a normal person again :("

02/08/2012: Shatsi from Maskinonge, Québec,canada: "Hello, all your reading and diets are interesting. I thought I was alone in the world. We had to abandon our home and ALL our belongings in 2010 due to the presence of serpula lacrymans, a very rare mold (mushroom) with toxic spores. But we had been living with it, unknown, for several months. Needless to say, I am extremely ill since fall 2009. The experts found 5different types of mold in my blood, at very high levels. I have gained a lot of weight, severe skin eruptions, etc......... Too much health problems to name. BUT, the one thing I have trouble with since day one is being able to eat...... Anything with proteins.... I get very ill and cannot keep it down. I still crave some stuff and eat anyways but pay the price. I'm down to white rice, toast, oranges and a fewother things.

Our home was demolished and along with all our stuff, was buried in a contamination dump site. So now we are in a new home that we built from scratch with no help but the health side is not improving. Please let me know what I can do..... I would like to find myself again..... And not be this ill for good. I must mention that before all this, I was already disabled and have a very weak immune system so........ now, all the preexisting conditions have worsen also. Please help......"

02/09/2012: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa: "Shatsi, check the E. C. page for Mold & Fungus here http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/mold.html and I posted some info on Grapefruitseed Extract here: "BHT SUBSTITUTE? UNAVAILABLE IN PAKISTAN"(sorry no hyperlink). As an opportunity to correct a big oversight, Oscar went into some detail on Grapefruitseed Extract and I hadn't read the entire post missing this until later as I spoke of GSE as if it hadn't been mentioned. But Oscar's theme was GSE as an anti-viral while mine was anti-fungal.

There are some great links on the Fungus & Mold page w/ one in particular a doctor using all natural products for the removal of the fungus from the body. I think her site is http://www.toxic-black-mold-syndrome.com/index.html. One nutrient in particular is Brown Seaweed Extract. Dr. Shoemaker prescribes Cholestramine® for removal. Both Dr's have websites and books in print that detail the problem of black mold.

Hope this helps and good luck. Please report results, update."

02/09/2012: Louwrencel from Rustenburg, North West South Africa: "Hi Shatsi, If all else fails try IV vit c & if that is too expensive try liposomal vit c which is much cheaper & you can make it at home, on the net you can get info on how to make it. What I also do know is that vit c about the only thing that can kill mold in your body, but it is a problem to take high doses of vit c as it causes an upset stomach but with IV vit c you can tolerate doses of 100- 200 gr & with liposomal vit c 5 gr is equivalent to 50 gr of IV vit c. So try it you have nothing to lose."

10/02/2012: Lynda from Folsom, Ca, Usa: "We lived in a rental home infested with 7 different molds that were airbourne as well as in the heating/air ducts, because of a leaky roof that was never fixed. My son has many symptoms and is very ill. We have been to MANY doctors and specialists and each one has no answer for us. If fact just today an allergist told us that there is no way that there are any mycotoxins in my sons body if we have been out of the house for 9 months, that it leaves the body as soon as you leave the home that is infected. He said this even though I had results with me from EHAP Labs where we had my sons urine tested and it showed all three major mycotoxins in alarmingly high levels.

This allergist along with other doctors have told us that my sons illnesses are all in his head, that he is a hypochondriac. This is very upsetting to us as we feel like everywhere we turn we hit a wall. Do any of you know of any Doctors in California who work with people who have been exposed to toxic mold?"

10/02/2012: Airzone from Hernando, Mississippi, Usa: "The best thing is Oxygen hydrogen Peroxide food grade it works. I also have been told the same thing- this is the reason I do not like Doctors and don't trust them if they give drugs it like they are throwing darts at the dart board at all the deferent drugs that the side effects are very harmful. hydrogen peroxide is natural it is in Honey the little bubbles you can see in the store shelves."

06/01/2013: Steenie from Salt Lake City, Utah: "Faith, Please help tell me how you helped your tumors, because I believe this could be an added symptom of mine... I have some kind of weird lymphatic issues going on inside... As one of my symptoms, I believe... As well as headaches, nausea... I also want to do this as a lactovegetarian... (haven't been doing any dairy due to the fibro and other autoimmune) Any recommendations?"

06/03/2013: Andrea C from Cardiff, Wales: "Hi, Pesticides on food will do a number on you xx If you can't afford 'ORGANIC', or better still, grow your own. Wash your veggies in 'VINERGAR' then rinse them off after. You can also use 'LEMON' to do it, and have a sleep if you get tired. Time does not matter, if you can, lay down. The human body dips and swings from being 'HYPER" to worn out, this is "NATURAL LAW" IT WILL MAKE YOU LAY DOWN WHEN YOU PUSH YOUR SELF TOO HARD......... Allergies.. I think, is your body telling you to rest. I am 'CHEMICALLY SENSITIVE" It's a pain in the butt!!! But I know certain triggers that kick off, and try to avoid them. Even certain people!!! Lol!! Stress will also beat you up, some people can carry it, some of us can't xxxxxxx I do not know what is happening in your life, but a good measure is, try and back track to your episodes and see if some one, or some thing, trigged it off. I hope this is of some help to you XXXXX Love Andrea C <3"

01/19/2014: Gillian from Andalusa, Spain: "Hi, I think a lot of my health problems are from mould. I smell an overpowering smell of mold in my bathroom coming from the drain- does not go away with vinegar and baking soda or even bleach which I do not like to use. will have the management clean out the pipe.

I am extremely tired, have trouble sleeping, lots of pain in neck-gravelly

under the skin and also near hip and some what in foot, I also have neuropathy in legs, not from diabetis, very poor digestion, brain fog, deep resentment, deep fear, anxiety, neck is kind of jerking, bad breath, smelly poop, big dumps hemmeroids, very itchy scalp, reflux, mcs, probably candida, cant seem to learn new things, slight tremor in hand etc

I take traozodone 100 mg, and gabpentin 300 mg for mood swings. I would like to get off of them, but must do it slowly and carefully

I was told I have a lesion in my uterus, am having some pain there, bloating etc.

I wonder if the person with the protocol, could say how much of the herbs etc to take and is plain garlic and onions ok as it is less expensive.

Is there a safe alternative to ammonia as I have mcs.

I feel overwhelmed by the array of options-one says take kelp another says don't etc. I do not eat any sugar flour or junk food. It seems to get worse if I eat fruit. It is very hard for me to focus and I get overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do. It feel hard to get motivated due to tiredness, brainfog etc.

Are there other options besides herbs because I have tried all kinds of supplements -altho not for long periods and consistently -and they do not seem to make a difference.

I know I need to detox, and is there a way to do it that is not too overwhelming and that does not weaken one further.

I know this is long. I am intending to get my initiative back and I must find a way to release the level of resentment I have. Thanks and feel free to email me at joysongoflove(at)aol (dot)com"

01/19/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Gillian, my favorite way to detox is thru diet. It's a slow but sure process once you figure out the best way to eat for YOU. You might take pointers from the SCD diet, GAPS, FODMAPS and many others out there."

01/19/2014: Jenny from Cary: "Research diatomaceous earth.. I am on it and feeling great."

01/20/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Gillian: Use ammonia for the drain pipes prior to leaving the house and then rinse w/ water upon return to reduce the mcs symptoms.

From the info you provided, your body is not properly turning glucose or fructose into energy and is therefore feeding the fungal organisms. The first step to correct this is to take a very good multivitamin/mineral/whole food supplement w/ every meal. Also take extra Chromium Picolinate and Cinnamon capsules if you can find them. This will help much but you will also need to follow the candida protocol from Bill of Philippines. Begin slow by avoiding the bad foods and also slowly introducing the natural substances and supplements.

Lastly, you will need to make major improvements in your indoor air quality as low oxygen air suppresses immune function as well as detoxification."

03/09/2014: Arcticmoon from Anchorage: "Hi, I personally would not recommend taking Ammonia baths, particularly if you have Lyme. Ammonia is a neurotoxin left behind after killing Lyme along with Quinolinic Acid. I am very sensitive to Ammonia and when I get near an Ammonia bottle, I have head tremors. Most of us with Mycotoxin illness have faulty methylation due to mutations in our genes. Many of us already have too much Ammonia in our bodies because we have a faulty Ammonia and Sulphur detox ability. I would only use it to clean up mold on window sills or around the house, but remember our skin is one of the biggest organs and absorbs what we put on it."

Concerning the parasite problem, look at the Earth Clinic section titled "Ailments" and go to "P" and find "Parasites" ... you'll find lots of posts discussing a half dozen well known parasite remedies."

03/09/2014: Mike62 from Denver: "Nicholovich: I am sorry to say that you have a very serious condition and you are going to have to take some remedies that can make you feel uncomfortable. The pathogens are hiding behind a biofilm that protects them. This needs to be dissolved. At least 2 hours after the last meal of the day take 4 caps oxypowder and 1 pint of water. If you feel dry you can drink more water during the night. Do this until digestion improves, then do 3x a week for 90 days. 1 hour before breakfast put 1tbsp papaya seeds, 8oz fresh papaya, 8oz fresh pineapple, preferably organic, into a blender with some organic chili, and 1 dose parasite cleanse that has wormwood, black hulled walnut, and clove, grind up and drink. Do this until digestion improves then do 3x a week for 90 days. The oxypowder dissolves the biofilm and also kills parasites. The papaya seeds, papaya and pineapple enzymes, and the herbs kill parasites. They can go dormant for 90 days so you have to continue the treatment. Candida lives in the colon where conditions are acidic. When people eat acidic foods the candida moves into the intestines. Candida's function is to eat excess blood sugar. Eating too much fat coats the sugar with oil so the insulin cannot carry the sugar into the cell. Eating too much fat causes the mitochondrial proteins to fold so they do not reveal their insulin receptor sites. Candida eats the excess sugar in the plasma, causing candida overgrowth. All you have to do is eat alkaline foods and low fat. Phds in life sciences, cellular biologists, and the 80/10/10ers, have shown that candida and other pathogens do not eat sugar in the presence of nutrients and insulin when fat is below 5%/g. For food take the best of all, activated barley. Make green smoothies from organic baby leaves, chili, non denatured whey isolate, and unrefined sea salt. For fat take 1/2 coconut oil and 1/2 black chia seeds. Search raw food videos for some great ideas. These remedies should cure you very rapidly."

So whether the turpentine is aged (oxidized) or not would seem to make little difference as to its effectiveness for the body."

03/09/2014: Rishicash from Long Beach, Ca: "Kleen Strip does make a Pure Gum Spirits Turpentine which is the one Tony uses. If you live in the US you can get it at Walmart for $1 cheaper than Home Depot. I use this for external, but for internal I use the Diamond G Forest Products because you can't get any purer than this product. http://www.diamondgforestproducts.com/"

03/09/2014: Rishicash from Long Beach, Ca: "I've read through all of the posts here for candida/turpentine therapy but didn't come across anything about a protocol diet. This blog is Best Type of Turpentine, but I couldn't find anything else regarding it.

The reason I bring this up is that I've had severe, chronic candida/parasites/intestinal bacteria for 30+ years and spent thousand of dollars and suffered through numerous programs with absolutely no benefit until I tried Turp with which I started to feel better the next day.

Back to the diet. I followed Dr. Daniels protocol to the letter for six weeks. Dr. D says that 3-4 eliminations daily are required along with super hydrating...and no meat or dairy. Her recommended diet is very carb based with grains in particular. After six weeks I decided to come off of it to see how I would feel and the first thing that happened is that I got very constipated immediately and has remained that way for two months now which has freaked me out a bit since I wasn't pre-protocol. My symptoms also started to return soon afterwards.

I tried to get some advice about the constipation from Dr. D, but she kept trying to sell me her book and sessions which I can't afford. I got ahold of Tony Pantalleresco as I had nowhere else to turn for advice and although he is quite a character, he was very generous with his time and advice...as in free. I explained to him what was going on and even sent him Dr. D's protocol. Tony was emphatic that the constipation problem was due to all of the grains and that they were terrible for candida. He didn't say anything about 3-4 eliminations a day or super hydrating, etc.

So although the turpentine part is the same, they are two very different protocols. Dr. D says the treatment won't be effective or can even be harmful if not followed precisely and Tony says otherwise. True, Dr. D has an MD, but she also has a business degree from Wharton.

I've been afraid to resume turpentine therapy since I was afraid that I might have damaged my system resulting in constipation, but Tony has assured my that isn't the case. I'm staring again with Tony's recommendation tomorrow. I'd like to hear what anyone else has to offer on this. There aren't many people who are familiar with Turp therapy and this is the only Turp forum I've found."

03/10/2014: Mike62 from Denver: "Rishicash: There is just one word that describes the super hero who comes to everybody's rescue: enzymes. Enzymes are a mixture of nutrients that have more electrons than protons. They make high energy water. Activated barley has the most enzymes. Home grown sprouts and live ferments are second. Raw organic produce and raw grass fed animal products are third."

03/09/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "Is this tethered cord syndrome?� ..."Research by Dr. Alf Breig showed a relationship between Adult Tethered Cord Syndrome (ATCS) and posture. Though Breig used surgical methods to induce postural changes there are practitioners that offer non-surgical methods of improving posture and reducing axial tension on the spinal cord."

10/31/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Ltina:

On the Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, if you google: "Ray Sahelian MD leukemia natural cures" he has a great article on natural cures and the many connections that produce or trigger leukemia. It's a great article.

He authenticates viruses as a major cause and there are good anti virals discussed on EC.

My favorite anti viral is colloidal silver."

10/31/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Ltina: ATP is synonymous with life and at the core of our resistance to disease. In reduced concentrations cells are no longer able to exclude solutes. The components of the cells mutate when they become injured. The pro-metabolic hormone insulin stimulates ATP generation. In the absence of insulin glucose promotes cancer. The famous cancer researcher, Otto Warburg, clearly showed that insulin exerts it's anti-carcinogenic effect by activating the enzyme complex PDH. Warburg noted the availability of blood sugar had no effect on tumor growth in the presence of insulin. Cancer cells are defined by their reliance on fermentation. Glucose, insulin, and oxygen are the fundamental factors that make up the provision of support that prevents cancer formation. The nutrients in raw organic fruits promote respiration. Fructose increases oxygen by carboxylation."

11/01/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Ltina, I'm 100 percent with Dave on the hypothesis of viral involvement in many diseases, especially cancer. He mentioned colloidal silver; Vit C is also a potent antiviral when taken in large enough amounts.

Garlic, ginger, turmeric, coconut oil--there are many anti microbials that you can easily and cheaply incorporate into your diet.

Take cod liver oil and exercise to make sure that your circulation is good. Cancer causes blood clotting and you also want to make sure the "good stuff" gets to every cell in your body.

A common theme with doctors is that supplements are a waste of money. However, I have had heart palpitations stop immediately after taking magnesium supplements and not come back. I have had basal cell carcinoma dissolve from an eraser sized growth after applying vit C to it.

Another good supplement against cancer is IP6/Inositol. You can find it on Amazon. Also check out proteolytic enzymes.

You are not helpless against this disease. These supplements will at least help you feel better in conjunction with whatever treatment you use."

11/01/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hi Nano writer from Hotspot.

Re Ltina and leukemia cause.

Excellent advice. I take the IP6 too and have for about a year now. And your magnesium experience and Vit C experience are proof positive that supplements can have profound effects. If we get all the nutrients we need from the food we eat, then we would have virtually no problems except that which is caused by viral or bacterial infections. But even levels which were normal a hundred years ago are now dramatically lower because of what we have done to the ecology of nutrition by phoney fertilizers and poisons. With no crop rotation, the nutritive values are eroded even more.

And, there is a general misunderstanding of what theraputic levels of supplements can accomplish. Reaching the 1, 000 mg level of Vit C takes us to another level in the body to achieve effects for health and longevity. I'm speaking of the free radical scavenger effect.

Also, Nano Writer, if you're not into at least 400 iu of natural E daily, please consider it. At minimum 200. You just can't reach those levels from a nutrition depleted food supply. Vit E makes the veins and arteries slick instead of them being tacky which attracts oils/sugars and other potentially damaging substances which in turn cause oxydation and then inflamation. All that equals clotting. That equals heart/circulation/stroke issues.

Keep writing with more observations. Thanks again for the point specific info and the advice on IP6.

Dave"

03/08/2014: Colette from Charleston S.c.: "I have Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. I am supposed to start treatment in a week once my insurance approves of the drug. The survival rates seem very effective. Is there other ways of improving my odds? I would prefer to heal naturally but there is no information about this anywhere. What is the best way for me to eat while taking this medication that is for life? Please email me at sweetcarolinatv (at)gmail(dot)com."

03/10/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Colette: Probably the most important item for you is maintaining an alkaline environment. Look up "buffering remedies" here on E.C.

Blood purifications remedies will help, start by cleaning the kidneys and supporting the liver. Antiviral nutrients like Lysine, Echinacea, St John'sWort will help."

03/09/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Nigel,

Feline Leukemia is a "retro-virus"....and can be cured by feeding (drops into mouth if necessary) Colloidal Silver which will kill the virus. If you can't get that, you could try other anti virus herbs, such as Echinacea, tea tree oil etc. But CS is best, assuming you can find some with sufficient parts per million. I make my own so know it is a high PPM."

03/09/2014: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "Here is a group that may be able to give you some good advice for your cat: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LDN_4_Pets/info. Good luck!"

03/10/2014: Jim from Frostburg, Maryland: "Strays with Feline leukemia respond well to feeding with raw chicken every day -- a couple of rounded tablespoons or as much as they will eat. Also give them fish oil; one or two capsules per day. Either squeeze a pricked capsule onto the back of their tongues or onto their hard or soft food. If the cat likes dairy, give it a teaspoon of Budwig made with the fish oil instead of flax. Flaxseed oil is fine but you'll likely have to force it down the cat's throat using a small clear plastic syringe with the funnel-end cut off and --very important --smoothed and rounded off with sandpaper. Cutting the syringe leaves a sharp-edge which will hurt the cat's gums and lips. You can alternatively hold the sharp cut-off end briefly over a flame, melting it into a rounded edge.

You'll need to fill the small syringe with the Budwig (or meat if it won't eat that) then insert the rubber-tipped plunger. The syringe at ready in your right hand, reach down and stroke the cat with your left hand. Straddle the cat from behind then quickly bend down on your haunches, your heels pulling close together so that the cat's rear exit is blocked. Grab the cat by cupping your left hand with fingers under the chin and the thumb at the upper-nose/eyes. While doing this worm your left-hand index finger into the left side of the cat's mouth. The mouth will open, allowing your right hand to insert the small plastic syringe centrally into it's mouth. Quickly push the plunger, expelling the Budwig or raw food. When performed properly the Budwig (or meat) is deposited onto the back of the tongue. Quickly remove the syringe while keeping your fingers and thumb clamped around the cat's jaws for a couple of seconds. This act will increase the odds that the cat will swallow. This is not as difficult as it reads.

Use of raw chicken and fish oil daily should result in noticeable improvements to the cats appearance in a few days. I have had cats diagnosed with FL live for 15 years with the use of raw meat added to their diets. I believe cereal diets produce weak immune systems.

BTW, one or two fish oil capsules administered daily has extended the lives of several of my own and my friend's' cats by years, even after being given terminal diagnoses by the vet."

I can tell you what I have observed - dont do conventional treatment for this. My dad was a former athlete, still very fit drank no alcohol and ate everything in moderation. I would say follow teds advice and eat no sugar/ no carbs and measure your glucose levels 1 hour after eating. No foreign travel/ plane journeys as like ted said it does seem to aggravate this type of cancer. There is a lady in England called Mary Archer (who is married to a infamous English politician and author called Geffory archer) and she had this cancer and managed to have a bladder transplant and is fit and well now- so you may be able to google this and find out something useful.

08/28/2013: Mt from Ottawa, Ontario: "Ria, I am not sure if your question is about the Small Flowered Wilow but here is an extract of Maria Treben's book:

Here is a general treatment for removing tumors:

A warm poultice of Horse tail applied above the tumor in the morning and afternoon each time for 2 hours. At noon apply Swedish Bitter as a compress.

Drink 1 cup of Horse tail infusion 1/2 hour before breakfast and 1 cup 1/2 hour before supper. Also drink an infusion of Calendula, Yarrow and Stinging Nettle (ratio is 300g- 100g- 100g in 1. 5 liter of water). To each cup of this infusion you should add 3 to 6 drops of Wood Sorrel juice."

The doctors also said it had no roots and had not metastasized -- which we are ever so grateful. Now 3 months later, he is having the same symptoms that took him to the doctor in the first place and knowing that bladder cancer is one if not the most recurrent cancer we are looking for something natural as a preventative and this sounds like something worth it's weight in gold.

I had the first one lanced, then a week later, I got another one in my other eye. I kept a warm compress on it as I had done before, as well as using an eye wash and eyelid wash pads. The second one went away, then I got another one in the other eye again. I spend hundreds of dollars to see specialist and purchase prescription medication. Nothing worked until I added the apple cider vinegar to my daily regimen. I was disappointed that I spent so much money going to the doctor, when all it took was apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball. I'm just grateful it worked and I haven't had an issue since then."

11/30/2012: Help from A-town, Pa: "Exactly what kind of ACV did you use... Im 16 and im like crying everyday because I have one on my upper right eyelid... I hate it I had it for probably 3-4 months... :C help"

[YEA]  03/14/2013: Sammy from Kuwait: "Hi everyone, I was fed up from getting continuous chalazions not until I took your regimen and tried it. I must say that I have spent around 1500 dollars removing them surjically. But I tried the vinegar part and oh my God it is disappeariing day by day.

However, I soak an ear pad the one you clean your ear with and apply it directly to the chalazion. It stings for a while but after that it sort of pulls the pus in the chalazion and allows it to float on top of it forming a head. From here the chalazion oozes and become smaller and smaller each day. I apply Garlic Vinigar on it not apple cider. Anyhow I think any form of vinigar will work.

Thanks so much for this as my chalazion is disappearing thanks to you ;)

03/09/2014: Haley from Florida: "I have a large chalazion under my lower eyelid. People are suggesting putting apple cider vinegar. Do I put it directly on the Chalazion or just on my under my eye? Please respond I do not know what to do."

03/10/2014: Jennifer from Arlington, Tx: "Sorry, I hadn't checked back. The chalazion went away within days. I could notice a difference within 2 days.

The doctors told me my chalazion wasn't that bad, but one of my eyes looked swollen and I did not like walking around with one of my eyes lower than the other. Like I said before, I went to 3 doctors, 4 doctors visits, 4 prescriptions and even had my chalazion lanced and the only thing that worked was the apple cider vinegar. First, I used an eye wash. You can buy this at the drug store. It comes with an eye cup. You fill the eye cup to the line and bend your head down so that the cup is on your eye. Raise your head back holding the eye cup and roll your eye around in the wash for a few seconds. After that I used OcuSoft lid scrub. The ophthalmologist I saw gave me samples of these and I really like them. They are good for fast eye make-up removal as well. The pads come in a box individually wrapped and they are textured and pre-moistened. They cost about $10 for a box of 30. You just scrub the eye for a few seconds and rinse. This is also good for people with irritated or itchy eyes. After that, I put a small amount of ACV on the cotton ball and just swiped my eyelid. I did this routine in the morning and at night. I even continued doing it after the chalazion went away because I was scared it would come back, but no issues. There was no trace of my chalazion within a week and I noticed the difference within 2 days. Save yourself some money. Warm compresses were a waste of time for me. It didn't work. I used the compresses and I tried tea bags and heating up a gel eye mask and this just didn't work for me."

[YEA]  01/29/2014: Melissa D. from Berlin, Wi: "YEAH!!!! My UGLY deposites are gone! I applied crushed garlic for 3 days 3 times a day. Like I said in my first response, it burned like hell and was reallly ugly. The super cold weather helped the burn, but I looked like I got socked in the kisser for about 8 days. My husband wouldn't let me go out of the house for fear he was going to get thrown in jail for my ugly eye. He couldn't look at me without laughing at me, so I threatened to rub my eye on him. When it was scabby and weaping I cut a wedge of nonstick gauze and applied it at bed time with Neosporin. During the day I washed it with a surgical scrub and let it dry out. Be very safe because an infection could be a trip to the doctor and alot of explaining. I'm very surprised and happy that a $.98 box of garlic saved me about $1500-$2000 at the doctor. I'm a normal person with kids and bills and we don't have that extra ching to spend on something like this! If you go to the doctor I'm sure your eye would look just as bad with an expensive procedure. Mine were under my so with the gals who have them on your eye lid be VERY careful! It is a natural chemical peel so it can do damage so DON'T get it in your eye ball! The more you can crush the garlic up and the mushier you can get it the better it works. I was going to do a 4th day and I'm glad I didn't because 3 is enough. I also use a vitamin E stick to moisturize and heal. So I'm saying goodbye and good luck to all that have this issue and be safe. I hope you get results like I did!"

03/06/2014: Jas from India: "I have big yellowish mark on the inner and small at the outer part of left eye. It came after 7 months of delivering my baby. N its been 1 and half year but still the same. I have started with garlic after reading the good reviews here n its my second day. M doing it twincely I hope it works on me n these ugly marks will go.. hoping for the best will defintly let u know does it work.."

03/08/2014: Suzanne from Fort Wayne, Indiana: "I started applying castor oil on my eye lids and along the lash line, also on my brows to grow them thicker. At first I didn't think it worked and I quit but started again as I liked the way the oil helped to remove every last bit of make up. My lashes and brows are thicker. It has taken awhile but it really works and to my surprise, it also got rid of the nasty xanthoma. The skin around my eyes is smooth and clear and castor oil is cheap and safe. I hope you try it."

03/08/2014: Jas from India: "In my previous post, I told u about Xanthoma on my left eye.. I have applied garlic for 10 to 15 mins twice a day its my third day my eye got swelled n became so reddish over it please any one tell me is it ok? Should I continue to apply it? How much time it will take to heal my reddish n swelled eye? Please those who got positive result reply me..."

03/09/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Jas, of course you should stop if you got irritation. You might try Castor Oil before bed."

03/09/2014: Jas from India: "Thanks .. Mmsg. Does caster oil work on xanthoma too?"

03/10/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Jas, I don't know. I just know that I read it can help."

03/08/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Dee from Springfield,

I just posted the suggestion to help MS sufferers. I have personal experience on seeing the positive effect of Calcium AEP. I use six to eight tablets if condition is bad or upon "flair ups"....and drink four tablespoons of Colloidal Silver daily for six months to kill the presumed virus which may be a trigger to MS. Oh by the way, there is also believed to be part of the MS, a heavy metal issue, usually mercury build up. Chelation for that and getting rid of mercury in teeth put there in amalgams."

03/07/2014: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "www.ldninfo.org:� Stops progression on MS in about 85% of people. Low dose naltrexone is taken by mouth, is FDA approved at 50 mg/day, but is used at a low dose for MS and other autoimmune diseases at 3-4.5 mg/day. No side effects except possible sleep distrubance for a week or so. Very low cost at about $40/month. Modulates the immune system. The Yahoo LDN Group that is mentioned on this site (above) has over 11,000 members who use LDN, about half for MS, and are very willing to answer any questions you may have for a variety of autoimmune diseases. There is very little to lose and much that may be gained from looking into LDN.

Additionally, I have met one woman and heard of several others who have no MS symptoms after using Lion's Mane mushroom powder every day, along with a few vitamins. It is also low cost and may be worth a try. Best wishes!"

03/08/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "I forgot about the low dose Naltrexone. It was one of the few drugs that I experimented with for CFS about a year at full dose a long time ago. I didn't experience any major side effects. I did research further and found there are some long term negative side effects associated with drug at full dose but I think the low dose Naltrexone should be fine to experiment and use for MS."

08/15/2013: Carly from Pnw USA: "Dear Paul, Re your AFIB - some suggestions - try to stay away from anything with MSG in it. MSG sets off afib in my husband if he ingests too much of it. Last year he had to have his heart stopped and restarted in the ER to get it back in rhythm. This cost over SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, not to mention the stress of it all. Scary stuff.

After that I read everything I could about afib.... And attempted to figure out why he had it, and then moved on to figure out what he needed to take (and avoid! ) to keep it from happening again.

It is important to keep your electrolytes in balance. My husband now takes daily magnesium 400mg, calcium every other day, 600mg, potassium daily 99mg, and taurine daily 1000 mg.... If he goes into afib, he immediatly takes an additional 1000mg taurine (taurine competes with and takes msg out of the body) and another magnesium and potassium also.

Additional vitamins to think about taking daily would be 1000mg vitamin C, 400mg vit E ( to keep blood thin.... Say no to the rat poison Coumadin that your Dr. will try to put you on! ) a good B complex, zinc, and 100-200mg of CO-Q10.

Thus far we have avoided a return trip to the hospital, knock wood. Hope you can do the same.... good luck."

08/15/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "@Paul: Maybe no quick fix on this one; but here is a list of supportive nutrients for heart health other than you mentioned. CoQ10 or Ubiquinol, Taurine, D Ribose. You may also consider an herbal combination supporting the entire cardiovascular system, which would include: Hawthorn berry, Gingko biloba leaf, White Oak bark, Butchers Broom, Horse Chestnut, Cayenne, Ginger, Garlic.

You may also consider recommendations by Dr. Sinatra. He has a YouTube channel and two very helpful books on heart disease/health."

07/06/2012: Marty Of East End Long Island from Sag Harbor, New York, Usa: "I would much appreciate any information on these alternative treatments (Budwig Diet and to earlier cures). I have a bad case of bladder cancer and can't risk conventional treatments because I have also Behcet's Disease (a BCG might destroy the lining).

Any information is appreciated. Thank you, Marty of East End Long Island"

07/07/2012: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand: "Sorry to hear about your problem. I came across a blog about a guy who had bladder cancer, he was due to have an operation on the bladder in two weeks. Then his friend told him about the Lemon juice cure he heard about. The guy tried it, for the two weeks before the surgery. During the pre op. scan the surgeon could find no sign of cancer, so that was an end to it. If you do a Google Lemon juice and bladder cancer im sure you'll find it."

07/07/2012: Heather from Leicester : "Hi Marty, my dad passed from this cancer 2 years ago very quickly so you have my sympathy. I can tell you what I have observed - dont do conventional treatment for this. My dad was a former athlete, still very fit drank no alcohol and ate everything in moderation. I would say follow teds advice and eat no sugar/ no carbs and measure your glucose levels 1 hour after eating. No foreign travel/ plane journeys as like ted said it does seem to aggravate this type of cancer. There is a lady in England called Mary Archer (who is married to a infamous English politician and author called Geffory archer) and she had this cancer and managed to have a bladder transplant and is fit and well now- so you may be able to google this and find out something useful. Good Luck and best wishes for your recovery, Heather x"

07/07/2012: Louwrence from Rustenburg, North West, South Africa: "Hi Marty, Any info you want just type it in on the net & you have it, no problem & it comes from experts in their fields, sometimes contradicting other people & sometimes confusing so eventually it is up to you."

08/27/2013: Ria from Little Falls: "Please send me the information you have as my dearest friend in about a week and a half is going to have her bladder removed because they are telling her there is nothing else they can do. I can not imagine it being so hopeless that this is the only option. Thank you."

08/28/2013: Mt from Ottawa, Ontario: "Ria, I am not sure if your question is about the Small Flowered Wilow but here is an extract of Maria Treben's book:

Here is a general treatment for removing tumors:

A warm poultice of Horse tail applied above the tumor in the morning and afternoon each time for 2 hours. At noon apply Swedish Bitter as a compress.

Drink 1 cup of Horse tail infusion 1/2 hour before breakfast and 1 cup 1/2 hour before supper. Also drink an infusion of Calendula, Yarrow and Stinging Nettle (ratio is 300g- 100g- 100g in 1. 5 liter of water). To each cup of this infusion you should add 3 to 6 drops of Wood Sorrel juice."

03/08/2014: Sandraann827 from Victoria, Tx Usa: "How can I obtain a copy of the Budwig Diet? My Dad had a tumor removed in December which the doctors said was in fact cancer. The doctors also said it had no roots and had not metastasized -- which we are ever so grateful. Now 3 months later, he is having the same symptoms that took him to the doctor in the first place and knowing that bladder cancer is one if not the most recurrent cancer we are looking for something natural as a preventative and this sounds like something worth it's weight in gold. Thanks"

10/11/2013: Yasha from Imnaha, Or: "Simple question: How much borax to put in bath? Don't want all that other info. Just HOW MUCH BORAX IN A BATH????? Cannot find a simple answer to a simple question in all of this website! Not really very helpful."

10/11/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Yasha from Imnaha,

You ask how much borax for the bath:

One tablespoon.

If drinking, use 1/20th of a teaspoon in a gallon of water and drink throughout two days.

Yasha there is not an exact science on this. But if you read the material about oral consumption you'll see that VERY little is required. By extension I use proportionally the same for a bath. The absorption will be less than orally consumed but spread throughout the body allows for a diverse transfer to different regions. Less but better applied. Same idea for Epsom Salts baths. I can orally take a magnesium supplement (and I do) but also there is a broader or wider absorption with Salts baths. A very ancient remedy to many maladies.

Best to you,

Dave"

10/11/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "One cup per bath. Hope that helps!

10/11/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Uh oh. I just saw the I suggested way more than Dave. Go with Dave. He is basing his recommendation on science. I am basing my on limited experience. My husband did some borax baths and that is what he used. I will say he had no ill effects. He didn't do this long term.

~Mama to Many~"

10/12/2013: Baldev from Maharashtra, India: "Hi Yasha,

On this site Ted has recommended 1/4 tea spoon for men and 1/8 tea spoon of borax for women with 1/4 tea spoon of sea salt in one liter of water to be consumed through the day for internal use. Therefore, for bath one cup of borax should be ideal to get some benifit of borax for any health problem you are looking forward, may be don't soak for too long but I feel the concentration should be adequate to get the benefit.

Good Luck

Baldev"

10/12/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "I have been using 1/4 cup Borax in hot baths for many months now, in addition to many other major & trace minerals w/ only temporary results.

03/08/2014: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear xxxunknownxx,

You have certainly dealt with a lot with this issue, and I am sorry that people have been so unkind. You have done well in improving your diet, losing weight, and trying different things, enduring suffering and working. I am hopeful that your persevering spirit on healing will bring the desired results to you.

If you haven't already, do read the posts on Earth Clinic on this issue:

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/body_odor.html

Then just try different things, as you have been. I will mention a few things that I will start with.

I would try Raw Apple Cider Vinegar added to the water you drink. 1-2 Tablespoons in a tall glass of water once or twice a day. It is fine to have a splash of vinegar in all your water if you acquire a taste for it. (I like my water with vinegar better than plain now.)

I would try different types of baths--Epsom Salt, Baking Soda, Bentonite Clay, etc. These are all detoxifying. Having a couple of these a week (or more often if you like.) 1-2 cups of the Espom Salt or Baking Soda. On the clay, you will need to research this. The clay bath is a little more trouble, but people find them helpful.

You mention the possible issues of leaky gut and candida. Do you have other health issues? Also, do you have trouble with constipation? If you are not eliminating toxins out of the bowel regularly (at least daily) this can cause odor. I would look into colon cleanses.

If you do not have trouble with constipation, you can take the Bentonite Clay internally. I had a son who had a body odor problem when he was about 8, long before puberty. Showering did not help at all. It seemed to just come out his pores! I gave him Bentonite Clay daily for a while and it did seem to resolve. You Can mix 1 teaspoon in 8 ounces of water and let that sit overnight. Then take 1 Tablespoon daily on an empty stomach with a glass of water.

Are you getting daily exercise? It is good for the body to sweat...it gets out toxins that way.

I would also look into the turpentine section on this website and also look into parasite cleanses.

Whatever you try, try it for several months or more. It is possibly going to take a while to completely heal a long standing issue.

Keep us posted on how you are doing! I will be praying you find a solution sooner than later.

~Mama to Many~"

03/08/2014: Mike62 from Denver: "Xxunknownxx: A Vietnam veteran sometimes smells really bad. The meds they give him are toxins. Toxins, bad hormones, estrogen dominance, and pathogens are accumulating in the body. To get rid of them search raw food videos and become an 80/10/10er like me."

[YEA]  03/08/2014: Man from Sojouring America: "Take baking soda right after you shower and and take it and put in in your arm pits and sprinkling it all over your body. Keep some with you at all times. It will work. Put in your shoes too."

03/08/2014: Man from Sojouring America: "Oh, I forgot the most important thing. Use baking soda on your wash rag and stop using any soap or any shampoo. Use baking soda only. The odor problem will stop and it may stop overnight. How? for thewashing with a wash cloth fill your sink with hot water and saturate your wash cloth with water. then take a spoon full of baking soda and rub it into the rag. Use that to scrub your body and face and every thing. NO more store bought soap. Your self confidence will sky rocket.

To wash your hair take a quart bottle and and put in 5 tablespoons of bakeing soda and shake it up every time and then pour some on your hair and work it with your hands gently. and then rinse out . No more shampoo from the store."

03/08/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Xxunknownxx, changing your way of eating is probably the safest place to start, although it is hard. You can try Paleo or some similar diet which eliminates grains and beans for a while. You probably will have to make "friends" with many more veggies than you are used to!!"

03/08/2014: Mt from Ottawa, Ontario: "Try to eat one clove of garlic a day -do it at dinner (it has to be fresh and you have to properly chew it -it goes well in a salad or you can smash it and mix it with a tsp of honey, avoid chinese garlic). Do not try to over do it -too much garlic can lower your BP and also increase blood coagulation time.

Drink Stinging Nettle tea each day -about 0.5l.

Drink a tea from the dandelion root each day-about 1 cup

Include dandelion leaves in salads.

Make an ointment from Extra Virgin Olive oil (100 ml), Extra Virgin Coconut oil (100 ml) and a smashed garlic clove -after mixing the components let the mix stay for a day and after that filter out the large pieces of garlic. The ointment has to be stored in a glass container (keep it in a dark place).

Use the ointment on all your skin after showering (spread small amounts of it before you dry out).

For the showers use warm water followed by cold water -repeat three times.

Stop using commercial soap and shampoo. Go for natural solutions (Allepo soap).

Use the info from the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG4M71vMbTs) to get lacto bacillus culture. Mix some of it with water and apply it to all your skin each morning.

In the summer go to the seaside -expose full body to the sun and also wash in the sea multiple times a day -let the salt dry on your skin."

03/10/2014: Brian from Sth Aus, Australia: "All of the above are great suggestions except the stinky garlic. Anyway, the simplest solution is stop eating sugar or at least reduce it to a minimum because even veggies have a sugar content. So does rice of any colour. Prefer a diet of veggies that can be eaten raw, fruits that are bitter, moderate meat, natural dairy, eggs and moderate natural fats and oils and you'll be normal in no time. Cheers."

02/11/2013: Ed2010 from Oakville, Canada: "Good hear a battling story. So how are you now? Are you cured or still in the self treatment? Is there a considerable improvement that you feel after a month, if so then people can try.

I am also a user of DE, and any other item I can use instead of going to the Dr for every little thing. Had some pretty miraculous things happen. AND, had some scary thing happen. Went for a long time working on a painful lower back, right side. Finally caved and had a Colonoscopy. Now the scary, I now have about 1/3 less larger colon on the right side. ALL my pain was in the lower right back. Cancer stage was 3a. What I want you to know is that your symptoms are identical. My suggestion, get a colonsocopy to make certain your good to go before you continue with anything else. With all the GMO in american food, no matter how well we why try, we are not immune to cancer. Now I am on my way to recovery, doing well. AND right back to my good old natural remedies. Have a good life! Yehsams"

You mention the possible issues of leaky gut and candida. Do you have other health issues? Also, do you have trouble with constipation? If you are not eliminating toxins out of the bowel regularly (at least daily) this can cause odor. I would look into colon cleanses.

If you do not have trouble with constipation, you can take the Bentonite Clay internally. I had a son who had a body odor problem when he was about 8, long before puberty. Showering did not help at all. It seemed to just come out his pores! I gave him Bentonite Clay daily for a while and it did seem to resolve. You Can mix 1 teaspoon in 8 ounces of water and let that sit overnight. Then take 1 Tablespoon daily on an empty stomach with a glass of water.

Are you getting daily exercise? It is good for the body to sweat...it gets out toxins that way.

I would also look into the turpentine section on this website and also look into parasite cleanses.

Whatever you try, try it for several months or more. It is possibly going to take a while to completely heal a long standing issue.

Keep us posted on how you are doing! I will be praying you find a solution sooner than later.

Could someone please give me some advice on the best way to intake BSM, so that the nutrients can be bioavailable?

Don't know whether it would perhaps be better to dissolve it in water or milk, though I don't see why it should. Thanks so much for your help :)

07/10/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia: "Earl, please read this article.

In 1952, Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, had just completed his psychiatry residency. What's more, he had proven, with the very first double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in the history of psychiatry, that vitamin B-3 could cure schizophrenia.

Niacin I think is also good for alcoholics. Search on the below website.

http://www.doctoryourself.com/review_hoffer_B3.html

Please let us know if this helps your son.

Also vitamin C mixed with water and sprayed into the mouth when you feel a craving will stop cravings for cigarettes."

07/11/2011: Maria from Gippsland, Australia: "Hi Earl, Is there a support group near you (one for relatives & friends) that you can get some support for yourself? To be able to continue to help your son you need someone to talk to, even just for a bit of encouragement for you when times are tougher, which they obviously are now. Whilst the law prevents your son's psychiatrist from discussing him with you, you can consult another psychiatrist to help you, providing they are not involved with your son's treatment plan. If you can find one that is in orthomolecular psychiatry that would be better, then you may even encourage your son to see them. Or you could see a caring professional re your situation, this can be a natural therapist, nurse or Dr who has some experience in this field.

The medication that your son is on sounds like it is no longer working for him or it may be that he is no longer taking it (do you ever see the empty bottle/packet). Sometimes their voice/s tell them to stop taking it. Medications can be very useful in the acute stages, but long term it can poison the system. If your son is living with you and eating at home try to have a very nutritious diet. No white (processed) foods especially sugar. Processed foods deplete our nutrients. You are on the right track regarding B-3 (singularly the best for this with Vit C) and other nutrients especially brain nutrients like fish oils. Here is a link to a Dr in the UK to look at along with the link that Debbie gave you.

Http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Schizophrenia_-_a_biochemical_problem

Your son's drinking & smoking can be cravings for B-3. Addictions to alcohol, cigarettes & sugar are not uncommon. Whilst food hoarding is not common it does happen. I have seen the results of a locked cupboard with only fresh food stored in it for a month or two! If he does have B-3, ALWAYS start with smaller doses first and build up. He will also need a complete B as well. On the web site there are other nutrients that are needed. If you can talk with him about taking supplements then do so. First I would research them and work out which ones you can do before talking with him. I suggest choosing a time when he is more coherent (I mean when his conversation is in reality) if possible. Earl many people have had great success with nutrient therapy, so it is worth the hassle to pursue.

Music therapy can also be of help for your son and I might add for you also as if you are stressed and hassled it can aggravate your son. If you have not already done so read the EC schizophrenic page, especially the link from Joyce re Dr Hoffer

Not sure if this one is of any help but they are at least in Canada and they may be worth contacting. http://www.nmrc.ca/pages/SCHIZOPHRENIA.cfm

All the best, Maria"

07/20/2011: Naresh H from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India: "Hi. Please visit watercure2.org. Click on Schizophrenia cure under testimonials. Hopefully that will help. Good luck to you and your son."

08/17/2011: Biogirl from Salt Lake, Ut: "In direct response to Andrew who does not see a link between Celiacs and Schizophrenia. I am a biologist very interested in medicine and will try to explain the possible link. Celiacs causes inflammation, deteriation and damage of the intestinal tract. The intestinal tract is where our bodies absorb nutrients, vitamins, etc. These precursors are then used by the body to produce all the multitudes of chemicals that our bodies require to function properly including brain chemicals. If the intestinal tract is damaged then it is almost without a doubt going to cause all kinds of problems because the precursors can not be absorbed that are required in this case to create normal chemistry in the brain. The brain is a very sensitive organ that requires just the right balance in chemicals and glucose to keep it functioning correctly. It does not take much and in certain individuals for this balance to be disrupted. There has been much research linking mental illness with digestive disorders that create malabsorbtive syndromes. Hope you can understand why celiacs is being looked at for having a connection with schiz. Its all biochemical really."

08/29/2011: Mona from Irvington, Nj: "To Earl, please, admit that your son is little out of control. Living in Western world, you almost can't see his other natural treatment, 'cause there are laws and regulations. I have same experienced like you, so I know exactly what you are saying. There is a GOOD DOCTOR IN INDIA, where I live now, and my son is getting better there. But I do have guardianship, so I can have some control over my son's health. You also need this to save your son from. You can contact with me or directly search the name of doctor Ratan Singh, in Jaipur, India, who is saving my son's life. My son is your son's age and he is having same things. Living in Western world, you can't give him vitamins, 'cause he will through them away. So I did not have any choice and now he is doing much better with orthomolecular treatment. I hope that will help you too."

12/17/2011: Kes from Mumbai, India: "Hello: My sister has been suffering with paranoid schizophrenia since 18 or 19 years of age. Will appreciate any resources in India we could approach to get her help.

Mona from Irvington or Majid from Mumbai please let me know your experiences. You can email me.

Any information is much appreciated."

12/17/2011: Tina from Houston, Us: "Hi,

Please look into pranic healers in your area who can most definitely help with mental issues. Good luck, T"

12/18/2011: Todd from Denver, Colorado: "Two thoughts -

One - just read a book called "Wheat Belly" which ties wheat consumption to schizophrenia Try a wheat free diet.

Two - look at a recently recognized malady called Pyroluria. This is a blood condition when hemoglobin production creates a byproduct which blocks certain receptors. The condition can be diagnosed by testing and is remedied by increased Vitamin B6 and Zinc - I think liquid form is better.

I have worked in mental health and know what a tough road folks with schizophrenia have.... good luck."

[YEA]  03/06/2014: Eliex2 from Miami, Fl: "TAKE THESE:

Amino Acids:

Schizophrenia is a severe Mental Disorder but here are the substances that have been shown to help

Cysteine may alleviate some cases of Schizophrenia & Glycine may reduce the severity of Schizophrenia. Methionine may alleviate Schizophrenia where Schizophrenia is caused by excess Histamine.

Vitamins:

Schizophrenia may occur as a result of Folic Acid deficiency. The Nicotinic Acid form of Vitamin B3 (3,000 mg per day) may alleviate Schizophrenia (such as Adrenochrome) within the Brain similar to Mescaline and LSD).

Vitamin B6 may alleviate Schizophrenia. Vitamin C (10 - 20 grams per day) Low levels of Vitamin D.

DON'T Take any of these:

Arginine, Glutamic Acid, L-Dopa, Methionine, Tyrosine, Caffeine among others."

03/08/2014: Kt from Usa: "You could start adding ginger (1/8 to 1/4 tsp.) in everything he eats. Ginger contains an antidepressant ingredient. 100% whole wheat should not be eaten. In fact, staying away from anything that contains wheat until his moods are better under control.

The B-vitamins should be taken together because taking only one is reported to cause deficiencies in the others."

03/08/2014: Tony from Tn, Usa: "NIACIN! NIACIN! NIACIN! Very well known for ALL mental health issues! Check it out here on the boards. Go to the Remedies page and look for niacin. God Bless!"

03/07/2014: Blue from Cape Cod: "I take several anti-depressants, but because of the weight gaining side effect of these drugs, I take Topamax. It is a thyroid medication which is also used off label as an antidepressant. The benefit of this drug is that it has good anti-depressant qualities and is definately weight neutral and seems to counter the side-effect of any other drugs which may cause weight gain. Doctors should understand that unwanted weight gain is a depressant in itself."

03/07/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "Have you tried natural remedies to replace the Topomax. Topomax has a lot of side effects associated with it."

03/08/2014: Kt from Usa: "Lou from Falmouth--Ginger contains an antidepressant ingredient. I sprinkle that and turmeric on just about all vegetables I eat. Sometimes I put a little in warm water to drink. I put it on my eggs (it kills salmonella). I add it to my oatmeal. At this time it is just too cold to sit here and provide all benefits of this wonderful spice."

03/08/2014: Tony from Tn, Usa: "Blue from Cape Cod

Let me tell you my own personal story in getting off anti-depressant meds. I started taking both an anxiety and depression medications last year. They were doing me basically no good. I decided I was going to take this into my own hands. I came up with a plan along with the kind help of Bill here on the boards.

This plan involved mainly magnesium & niacin. I added a couple of other things myself. Those things have been 5-HTP and GABA. Let me say straight up that this isn't a quick fix like any medication is supposed to provide. It takes a while for this protocol to start working. Especially if you've suffered from long-term depression.

I will also say that NIACIN(B3) has probably been the biggest help. I take 500mg of niacin 3X daily w/meals. I take magnesium 250mg 3X daily w/meals. I take the GABA at 750mg(one dose) daily on an empty stomach normally first thing in the morning.

I take the 5-THP(100mg) once during the day and once at night(also 100mg) about one hour before bed. 5-HTP can be taken with or without food. I take it most of the time with food. The brand names to use are not really that critical. However, try to avoid any supplement with magnesium stearate added as a filler or any other fillers for that matter.

I personally use Doctor's Best and NOW Foods for most of these recommended supplements. It took me over 1 month before I started seeing any major changes. Now, it's been almost 5 months now and NO MORE ANTI-DEDRESSANTS! I had to wean off them slowly. I just cut back gradually. I cut back about every 2 weeks in dosage. I'm no longer depressed but I do still have some anxiety at times.

I'm allowing zapping & parasite cleansing to help with all the other leftover health issues I have going on. Hope this helps you out! Depression is tough! However, adding prescription meds only makes it worse in most cases. I'm thankful to God that I'm now no longer taking them! God Bless!"

My husband wouldn't let me go out of the house for fear he was going to get thrown in jail for my ugly eye. He couldn't look at me without laughing at me, so I threatened to rub my eye on him. When it was scabby and weaping I cut a wedge of nonstick gauze and applied it at bed time with Neosporin. During the day I washed it with a surgical scrub and let it dry out. Be very safe because an infection could be a trip to the doctor and alot of explaining. I'm very surprised and happy that a $.98 box of garlic saved me about $1500-$2000 at the doctor. I'm a normal person with kids and bills and we don't have that extra ching to spend on something like this! If you go to the doctor I'm sure your eye would look just as bad with an expensive procedure. Mine were under my so with the gals who have them on your eye lid be VERY careful! It is a natural chemical peel so it can do damage so DON'T get it in your eye ball! The more you can crush the garlic up and the mushier you can get it the better it works. I was going to do a 4th day and I'm glad I didn't because 3 is enough. I also use a vitamin E stick to moisturize and heal. So I'm saying goodbye and good luck to all that have this issue and be safe. I hope you get results like I did!"

03/08/2014: Suzanne from Fort Wayne, Indiana: "I started applying castor oil on my eye lids and along the lash line, also on my brows to grow them thicker. At first I didn't think it worked and I quit but started again as I liked the way the oil helped to remove every last bit of make up. My lashes and brows are thicker. It has taken awhile but it really works and to my surprise, it also got rid of the nasty xanthoma. The skin around my eyes is smooth and clear and castor oil is cheap and safe. I hope you try it."

03/08/2014: Jas from India: "In my previous post, I told u about Xanthoma on my left eye.. I have applied garlic for 10 to 15 mins twice a day its my third day my eye got swelled n became so reddish over it please any one tell me is it ok? Should I continue to apply it? How much time it will take to heal my reddish n swelled eye? Please those who got positive result reply me..."

03/09/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Jas, of course you should stop if you got irritation. You might try Castor Oil before bed."

03/09/2014: Jas from India: "Thanks .. Mmsg. Does caster oil work on xanthoma too?"

03/10/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Jas, I don't know. I just know that I read it can help."

03/08/2014: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear xxxunknownxx,

You have certainly dealt with a lot with this issue, and I am sorry that people have been so unkind. You have done well in improving your diet, losing weight, and trying different things, enduring suffering and working. I am hopeful that your persevering spirit on healing will bring the desired results to you.

If you haven't already, do read the posts on Earth Clinic on this issue:

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/body_odor.html

Then just try different things, as you have been. I will mention a few things that I will start with.

I would try Raw Apple Cider Vinegar added to the water you drink. 1-2 Tablespoons in a tall glass of water once or twice a day. It is fine to have a splash of vinegar in all your water if you acquire a taste for it. (I like my water with vinegar better than plain now.)

I would try different types of baths--Epsom Salt, Baking Soda, Bentonite Clay, etc. These are all detoxifying. Having a couple of these a week (or more often if you like.) 1-2 cups of the Espom Salt or Baking Soda. On the clay, you will need to research this. The clay bath is a little more trouble, but people find them helpful.

You mention the possible issues of leaky gut and candida. Do you have other health issues? Also, do you have trouble with constipation? If you are not eliminating toxins out of the bowel regularly (at least daily) this can cause odor. I would look into colon cleanses.

If you do not have trouble with constipation, you can take the Bentonite Clay internally. I had a son who had a body odor problem when he was about 8, long before puberty. Showering did not help at all. It seemed to just come out his pores! I gave him Bentonite Clay daily for a while and it did seem to resolve. You Can mix 1 teaspoon in 8 ounces of water and let that sit overnight. Then take 1 Tablespoon daily on an empty stomach with a glass of water.

Are you getting daily exercise? It is good for the body to sweat...it gets out toxins that way.

I would also look into the turpentine section on this website and also look into parasite cleanses.

Whatever you try, try it for several months or more. It is possibly going to take a while to completely heal a long standing issue.

Keep us posted on how you are doing! I will be praying you find a solution sooner than later.

[YEA]  03/08/2014: Man from Sojouring America: "Take baking soda right after you shower and and take it and put in in your arm pits and sprinkling it all over your body. Keep some with you at all times. It will work. Put in your shoes too."

03/08/2014: Man from Sojouring America: "Oh, I forgot the most important thing. Use baking soda on your wash rag and stop using any soap or any shampoo. Use baking soda only. The odor problem will stop and it may stop overnight. How? for thewashing with a wash cloth fill your sink with hot water and saturate your wash cloth with water. then take a spoon full of baking soda and rub it into the rag. Use that to scrub your body and face and every thing. NO more store bought soap. Your self confidence will sky rocket.

To wash your hair take a quart bottle and and put in 5 tablespoons of bakeing soda and shake it up every time and then pour some on your hair and work it with your hands gently. and then rinse out . No more shampoo from the store."

03/08/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Xxunknownxx, changing your way of eating is probably the safest place to start, although it is hard. You can try Paleo or some similar diet which eliminates grains and beans for a while. You probably will have to make "friends" with many more veggies than you are used to!!"

03/08/2014: Mt from Ottawa, Ontario: "Try to eat one clove of garlic a day -do it at dinner (it has to be fresh and you have to properly chew it -it goes well in a salad or you can smash it and mix it with a tsp of honey, avoid chinese garlic). Do not try to over do it -too much garlic can lower your BP and also increase blood coagulation time.

Drink Stinging Nettle tea each day -about 0.5l.

Drink a tea from the dandelion root each day-about 1 cup

Include dandelion leaves in salads.

Make an ointment from Extra Virgin Olive oil (100 ml), Extra Virgin Coconut oil (100 ml) and a smashed garlic clove -after mixing the components let the mix stay for a day and after that filter out the large pieces of garlic. The ointment has to be stored in a glass container (keep it in a dark place).

Use the ointment on all your skin after showering (spread small amounts of it before you dry out).

For the showers use warm water followed by cold water -repeat three times.

Stop using commercial soap and shampoo. Go for natural solutions (Allepo soap).

Use the info from the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG4M71vMbTs) to get lacto bacillus culture. Mix some of it with water and apply it to all your skin each morning.

In the summer go to the seaside -expose full body to the sun and also wash in the sea multiple times a day -let the salt dry on your skin."

03/10/2014: Brian from Sth Aus, Australia: "All of the above are great suggestions except the stinky garlic. Anyway, the simplest solution is stop eating sugar or at least reduce it to a minimum because even veggies have a sugar content. So does rice of any colour. Prefer a diet of veggies that can be eaten raw, fruits that are bitter, moderate meat, natural dairy, eggs and moderate natural fats and oils and you'll be normal in no time. Cheers."

I work at a Dermatology office, and was prescribed antibiotics by our Dr. I filled the rx, but didn't take them because I knew that would just cover up the problem. Like everyone else on here I tried EVERYTHING. I was just about to give up until one night my POD had gotten really bad. It had spread to other parts of my face. I put on Baby Caleundula Cream that night and let it sit on my face while I slept. I woke up the next morning and my POD was 80-90% gone!!!!! I honestly hadn't seen my clear face in so long it was weird looking in the mirror. It's been gone ever since I put it on morning and night now. Please Please Please give it a try this stuff has been a miracle for me. I also take a zinc supplement everyday now. My dermatologist said POD is in mainly woman ages 23-40. I've read articles about zinc deficiency when your pregnant linked to POD. Isn't that interesting that the age range is the same as the ages in which woman are pregnant. They say theres now cure for POD, but I beg to differ :) :)"

03/07/2014: Taram7 from Cincinnati: "From what I know, its not harmful if its small amounts and given time to clear out of the lungs... its the silica particles... but my question would be was it the Organic Food Grade DE or the hardware store kind? The first thing I would do is visit the place you bought it and write down all the ingredients. If they are not listed then you can contact the manufacturer- for stabilizers or anti-caking agents, etc. But asthma is inflammation- so anti-inflammatory herbs and foods would help and avoiding inflammatory foods. A quick internet search can pull these up for you. There are plenty of natural treatments for asthma. I am not a doctor, but my daughter had sports induced asthma for a while and it can flare up as side-effects of other things. But it its been 7 months at least and it was organic food grade DE and just minimal from breathing- I have always heard the lungs will clear it out with a good immune system and no side-effects."

03/08/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Taram7: The asthma reaction is the lungs inability to properly remove the silica, which ends in an inflammatory response.

To hasten the removal of this particulate, use purified water in either a vaporizer or nebulizer. Three herbs which will help the lungs are Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm, and Mullein. You may find an herbal lung formula at the health food store w/ these three as well as others. Read label for directions.

As these remedies begin clearing the lungs, there may be some silica build up in the colon, so sprinkle Milled Flax Seed in the child's food to final eliminate the silica. Speaking of Flax, you will need to increase the dietary Omega 3 Fatty Acids w/ cold water fish like Salmon, Mackerel, or Sardines. These greatly reduce inflammation and promote healing.

When you seem to have succeeded in this endeavor, you may consider giving one cap of Raw Lung Glandular so as to heal any possible lung damage."

03/08/2014: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Breanna,

Well, I am so sorry your daughter was left with asthma from the DE and also sorry you have gotten such dire predictions about her future health. I won't at all minimize the asthma issue (we have dealt with this in two of our children) however, the human body can generally deal with a lot of assaults to it and still live on well for a long time. (Not that we should assault it on purpose, but it is inevitable in this world, no matter how careful we are.) My father is in his 80's. He has some health issues and has asthma, likely caused by decades of smoking and some dangerous chemical exposure to his lungs as a young person. Yet he has led a long and very productive life.

Is your daughter needing medication to keep her asthma under control? Is this hindering her play of her sleep?

Tim's advice about herbs and pure water in a vaporizer or nebulizer are great.

Heritage Essential Oils makes a blend called, "Lung Healing" that we found very helpful for our daughter. We used it for months in an essential oil nebulizer while she slept for months and it kept her from wheezing or coughing.

Please keep us posted!

03/07/2014: Blue from Cape Cod: "I take several anti-depressants, but because of the weight gaining side effect of these drugs, I take Topamax. It is a thyroid medication which is also used off label as an antidepressant. The benefit of this drug is that it has good anti-depressant qualities and is definately weight neutral and seems to counter the side-effect of any other drugs which may cause weight gain. Doctors should understand that unwanted weight gain is a depressant in itself."

03/07/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "Have you tried natural remedies to replace the Topomax. Topomax has a lot of side effects associated with it."

03/08/2014: Kt from Usa: "Lou from Falmouth--Ginger contains an antidepressant ingredient. I sprinkle that and turmeric on just about all vegetables I eat. Sometimes I put a little in warm water to drink. I put it on my eggs (it kills salmonella). I add it to my oatmeal. At this time it is just too cold to sit here and provide all benefits of this wonderful spice."

03/08/2014: Tony from Tn, Usa: "Blue from Cape Cod

Let me tell you my own personal story in getting off anti-depressant meds. I started taking both an anxiety and depression medications last year. They were doing me basically no good. I decided I was going to take this into my own hands. I came up with a plan along with the kind help of Bill here on the boards.

This plan involved mainly magnesium & niacin. I added a couple of other things myself. Those things have been 5-HTP and GABA. Let me say straight up that this isn't a quick fix like any medication is supposed to provide. It takes a while for this protocol to start working. Especially if you've suffered from long-term depression.

I will also say that NIACIN(B3) has probably been the biggest help. I take 500mg of niacin 3X daily w/meals. I take magnesium 250mg 3X daily w/meals. I take the GABA at 750mg(one dose) daily on an empty stomach normally first thing in the morning.

I take the 5-THP(100mg) once during the day and once at night(also 100mg) about one hour before bed. 5-HTP can be taken with or without food. I take it most of the time with food. The brand names to use are not really that critical. However, try to avoid any supplement with magnesium stearate added as a filler or any other fillers for that matter.

I personally use Doctor's Best and NOW Foods for most of these recommended supplements. It took me over 1 month before I started seeing any major changes. Now, it's been almost 5 months now and NO MORE ANTI-DEDRESSANTS! I had to wean off them slowly. I just cut back gradually. I cut back about every 2 weeks in dosage. I'm no longer depressed but I do still have some anxiety at times.

I'm allowing zapping & parasite cleansing to help with all the other leftover health issues I have going on. Hope this helps you out! Depression is tough! However, adding prescription meds only makes it worse in most cases. I'm thankful to God that I'm now no longer taking them! God Bless!"

07/10/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia: "Earl, please read this article.

In 1952, Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, had just completed his psychiatry residency. What's more, he had proven, with the very first double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in the history of psychiatry, that vitamin B-3 could cure schizophrenia.

Niacin I think is also good for alcoholics. Search on the below website.

http://www.doctoryourself.com/review_hoffer_B3.html

Please let us know if this helps your son.

Also vitamin C mixed with water and sprayed into the mouth when you feel a craving will stop cravings for cigarettes."

07/11/2011: Maria from Gippsland, Australia: "Hi Earl, Is there a support group near you (one for relatives & friends) that you can get some support for yourself? To be able to continue to help your son you need someone to talk to, even just for a bit of encouragement for you when times are tougher, which they obviously are now. Whilst the law prevents your son's psychiatrist from discussing him with you, you can consult another psychiatrist to help you, providing they are not involved with your son's treatment plan. If you can find one that is in orthomolecular psychiatry that would be better, then you may even encourage your son to see them. Or you could see a caring professional re your situation, this can be a natural therapist, nurse or Dr who has some experience in this field.

The medication that your son is on sounds like it is no longer working for him or it may be that he is no longer taking it (do you ever see the empty bottle/packet). Sometimes their voice/s tell them to stop taking it. Medications can be very useful in the acute stages, but long term it can poison the system. If your son is living with you and eating at home try to have a very nutritious diet. No white (processed) foods especially sugar. Processed foods deplete our nutrients. You are on the right track regarding B-3 (singularly the best for this with Vit C) and other nutrients especially brain nutrients like fish oils. Here is a link to a Dr in the UK to look at along with the link that Debbie gave you.

Http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Schizophrenia_-_a_biochemical_problem

Your son's drinking & smoking can be cravings for B-3. Addictions to alcohol, cigarettes & sugar are not uncommon. Whilst food hoarding is not common it does happen. I have seen the results of a locked cupboard with only fresh food stored in it for a month or two! If he does have B-3, ALWAYS start with smaller doses first and build up. He will also need a complete B as well. On the web site there are other nutrients that are needed. If you can talk with him about taking supplements then do so. First I would research them and work out which ones you can do before talking with him. I suggest choosing a time when he is more coherent (I mean when his conversation is in reality) if possible. Earl many people have had great success with nutrient therapy, so it is worth the hassle to pursue.

Music therapy can also be of help for your son and I might add for you also as if you are stressed and hassled it can aggravate your son. If you have not already done so read the EC schizophrenic page, especially the link from Joyce re Dr Hoffer

All the best, Maria"

07/20/2011: Naresh H from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India: "Hi. Please visit watercure2.org. Click on Schizophrenia cure under testimonials. Hopefully that will help. Good luck to you and your son."

08/17/2011: Biogirl from Salt Lake, Ut: "In direct response to Andrew who does not see a link between Celiacs and Schizophrenia. I am a biologist very interested in medicine and will try to explain the possible link. Celiacs causes inflammation, deteriation and damage of the intestinal tract. The intestinal tract is where our bodies absorb nutrients, vitamins, etc. These precursors are then used by the body to produce all the multitudes of chemicals that our bodies require to function properly including brain chemicals. If the intestinal tract is damaged then it is almost without a doubt going to cause all kinds of problems because the precursors can not be absorbed that are required in this case to create normal chemistry in the brain. The brain is a very sensitive organ that requires just the right balance in chemicals and glucose to keep it functioning correctly. It does not take much and in certain individuals for this balance to be disrupted. There has been much research linking mental illness with digestive disorders that create malabsorbtive syndromes. Hope you can understand why celiacs is being looked at for having a connection with schiz. Its all biochemical really."

08/29/2011: Mona from Irvington, Nj: "To Earl, please, admit that your son is little out of control. Living in Western world, you almost can't see his other natural treatment, 'cause there are laws and regulations. I have same experienced like you, so I know exactly what you are saying. There is a GOOD DOCTOR IN INDIA, where I live now, and my son is getting better there. But I do have guardianship, so I can have some control over my son's health. You also need this to save your son from. You can contact with me or directly search the name of doctor Ratan Singh, in Jaipur, India, who is saving my son's life. My son is your son's age and he is having same things. Living in Western world, you can't give him vitamins, 'cause he will through them away. So I did not have any choice and now he is doing much better with orthomolecular treatment. I hope that will help you too."

12/17/2011: Kes from Mumbai, India: "Hello: My sister has been suffering with paranoid schizophrenia since 18 or 19 years of age. Will appreciate any resources in India we could approach to get her help.

Mona from Irvington or Majid from Mumbai please let me know your experiences. You can email me.

Any information is much appreciated."

12/17/2011: Tina from Houston, Us: "Hi,

Please look into pranic healers in your area who can most definitely help with mental issues. Good luck, T"

12/18/2011: Todd from Denver, Colorado: "Two thoughts -

One - just read a book called "Wheat Belly" which ties wheat consumption to schizophrenia Try a wheat free diet.

Two - look at a recently recognized malady called Pyroluria. This is a blood condition when hemoglobin production creates a byproduct which blocks certain receptors. The condition can be diagnosed by testing and is remedied by increased Vitamin B6 and Zinc - I think liquid form is better.

I have worked in mental health and know what a tough road folks with schizophrenia have.... good luck."

[YEA]  03/06/2014: Eliex2 from Miami, Fl: "TAKE THESE:

Amino Acids:

Schizophrenia is a severe Mental Disorder but here are the substances that have been shown to help

Cysteine may alleviate some cases of Schizophrenia & Glycine may reduce the severity of Schizophrenia. Methionine may alleviate Schizophrenia where Schizophrenia is caused by excess Histamine.

Vitamins:

Schizophrenia may occur as a result of Folic Acid deficiency. The Nicotinic Acid form of Vitamin B3 (3,000 mg per day) may alleviate Schizophrenia (such as Adrenochrome) within the Brain similar to Mescaline and LSD).

Vitamin B6 may alleviate Schizophrenia. Vitamin C (10 - 20 grams per day) Low levels of Vitamin D.

DON'T Take any of these:

Arginine, Glutamic Acid, L-Dopa, Methionine, Tyrosine, Caffeine among others."

03/08/2014: Kt from Usa: "You could start adding ginger (1/8 to 1/4 tsp.) in everything he eats. Ginger contains an antidepressant ingredient. 100% whole wheat should not be eaten. In fact, staying away from anything that contains wheat until his moods are better under control.

The B-vitamins should be taken together because taking only one is reported to cause deficiencies in the others."

03/08/2014: Tony from Tn, Usa: "NIACIN! NIACIN! NIACIN! Very well known for ALL mental health issues! Check it out here on the boards. Go to the Remedies page and look for niacin. God Bless!"

10/01/2013: Lisa from So Cal: "I saw a post where someone recommended eating cabbage to reduce iron levels. He ate a little coleslaw everyday. This is what I'm going to try."

10/03/2013: Mr. Ree from Usa: "Have a phlebotomy and your iron levels (ferritin) will go down 30-50 points from just one treatment. It's covered by insurance. Get your ferritin below 50 points and you'll be fine... This applies very much to hepatitis c people as less iron means your enzymes go down as well. Way down... No drugs no supplements... just a phlebotomy..."

10/03/2013: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "I have high iron levels and poor insurance coverage. I found out you can go to a blood donation center and donate for free, or in my case, since I have had Hep A, I got an order from my doctor and paid $20. If I had homochromotosis (mine was slightly lower than this), it would have been free with a dr order. This was at a blood donation center run by a local hospital."

03/07/2014: David from Nanning, China: "Hi Cindy. Drinking tea, green or black after meals can inhibit iron absorbtion. Ditto, dairy though its downside is that sugars exacerbate liver heat and can make you irritable. I recommend that you check out the iron disorders institute whose forums and expertise have proven invaluable to many. God bless you from China!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  03/08/2014: Iteach5 from Virginia Usa: "I, too, have developed a Baker's cyst. Because I was walking abnormally, I subsequently developed inflammation in both feet, misaligned back, and painful leg cramps. After hobbling for two months, I finally saw my chiropractor last week (who is also a herbalist). He diagnosed my problem, did adjustments to my knee, and recommended chondroitin and boswellia 4 times a day. He also recommended massage therapy and ion cleanse which I haven't yet pursued. Within a week, my cyst had reduced in size from one inch in diameter to about one-third of an inch. Last night I had a fall, so now I'm back to square one with ice packs and elevation of leg. I'll post again later to update my progress."

03/08/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Shani Raj: This could be a problem w/ the liver/gallbladder. Are you or have you been taking pharmaceutical medications which could be toxic to your liver? Do you drink alcohol beverage? Any history of hepatitis virus?

You can try cleaning your gallbladder and supporting your liver. Here are 2 E.C. links: http://earthclinic.com/CURES/gallstones.html. http://earthclinic.com/CURES/liver-damage-treatment.html"

03/08/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Shani Raj from India;

A suggestion on the heart palpitations ... I've found an amazing number of "A-Fib" problems can be helped with 500 mg orally of magnesium...I take mag citrate but one could get the magnesium with a quarter teaspoon of Epsom salts.

For your digestion issues, have you considered apple cider vinegar? ACV is really BIG on Earth Clinic...read about it under "Remedies" and you'll be amazed at all the things ACV does for the human body.

It could be the two problems are connected by another underlying issue. That is, there may be a deeper issue but I doubt it. Seems like two distinct issues. They may relate to each other but for the immediate consider using the Magnesium and the ACV. "

03/07/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "There are many remedy suggestions under earth clinics ailment section for constipation. I'd start with that first."

03/08/2014: Kt from Usa: "This is for Dave--I am in my middle sixties and I never had problems with my heart until I started taking mag citrate. Over ten years ago I had frightening palpitations and "flutterings" that scared me to death. To make a long story short, I had been diagnosed with PVC (premature ventricular contractions) That occurred again, right AFTER a stress test, while I was resting. I found out that "citrate" (a form of MSG)is processed from corn. I stopped taking it and resumed standard mag tabs and my PVC subsided. I have since started using the mag powder because binders and fillers of meds or supplements or more than likely processed from corn OR in the process of being made, a manufactured form of glutamic acid (MSG) is created."

10/31/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Ltina:

On the Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, if you google: "Ray Sahelian MD leukemia natural cures" he has a great article on natural cures and the many connections that produce or trigger leukemia. It's a great article.

He authenticates viruses as a major cause and there are good anti virals discussed on EC.

My favorite anti viral is colloidal silver."

10/31/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Ltina: ATP is synonymous with life and at the core of our resistance to disease. In reduced concentrations cells are no longer able to exclude solutes. The components of the cells mutate when they become injured. The pro-metabolic hormone insulin stimulates ATP generation. In the absence of insulin glucose promotes cancer. The famous cancer researcher, Otto Warburg, clearly showed that insulin exerts it's anti-carcinogenic effect by activating the enzyme complex PDH. Warburg noted the availability of blood sugar had no effect on tumor growth in the presence of insulin. Cancer cells are defined by their reliance on fermentation. Glucose, insulin, and oxygen are the fundamental factors that make up the provision of support that prevents cancer formation. The nutrients in raw organic fruits promote respiration. Fructose increases oxygen by carboxylation."

11/01/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Ltina, I'm 100 percent with Dave on the hypothesis of viral involvement in many diseases, especially cancer. He mentioned colloidal silver; Vit C is also a potent antiviral when taken in large enough amounts.

Garlic, ginger, turmeric, coconut oil--there are many anti microbials that you can easily and cheaply incorporate into your diet.

Take cod liver oil and exercise to make sure that your circulation is good. Cancer causes blood clotting and you also want to make sure the "good stuff" gets to every cell in your body.

A common theme with doctors is that supplements are a waste of money. However, I have had heart palpitations stop immediately after taking magnesium supplements and not come back. I have had basal cell carcinoma dissolve from an eraser sized growth after applying vit C to it.

Another good supplement against cancer is IP6/Inositol. You can find it on Amazon. Also check out proteolytic enzymes.

You are not helpless against this disease. These supplements will at least help you feel better in conjunction with whatever treatment you use."

11/01/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hi Nano writer from Hotspot.

Re Ltina and leukemia cause.

Excellent advice. I take the IP6 too and have for about a year now. And your magnesium experience and Vit C experience are proof positive that supplements can have profound effects. If we get all the nutrients we need from the food we eat, then we would have virtually no problems except that which is caused by viral or bacterial infections. But even levels which were normal a hundred years ago are now dramatically lower because of what we have done to the ecology of nutrition by phoney fertilizers and poisons. With no crop rotation, the nutritive values are eroded even more.

And, there is a general misunderstanding of what theraputic levels of supplements can accomplish. Reaching the 1, 000 mg level of Vit C takes us to another level in the body to achieve effects for health and longevity. I'm speaking of the free radical scavenger effect.

Also, Nano Writer, if you're not into at least 400 iu of natural E daily, please consider it. At minimum 200. You just can't reach those levels from a nutrition depleted food supply. Vit E makes the veins and arteries slick instead of them being tacky which attracts oils/sugars and other potentially damaging substances which in turn cause oxydation and then inflamation. All that equals clotting. That equals heart/circulation/stroke issues.

Keep writing with more observations. Thanks again for the point specific info and the advice on IP6.

Dave"

03/08/2014: Colette from Charleston S.c.: "I have Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. I am supposed to start treatment in a week once my insurance approves of the drug. The survival rates seem very effective. Is there other ways of improving my odds? I would prefer to heal naturally but there is no information about this anywhere. What is the best way for me to eat while taking this medication that is for life? Please email me at sweetcarolinatv (at)gmail(dot)com."

03/10/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Colette: Probably the most important item for you is maintaining an alkaline environment. Look up "buffering remedies" here on E.C.

Blood purifications remedies will help, start by cleaning the kidneys and supporting the liver. Antiviral nutrients like Lysine, Echinacea, St John'sWort will help."

09/24/2009: Cc from Slc, Utah : "Tetrasilver Tetroxide is now called Silver Oxide numerous studies have been done on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, viruses and fungi with very positive results. If you read the studies done in Honduras and in Israel you will see. The company is located on the eastern end of the USA. The problem is that they use this product more for Skincare products / solutions. It has had such a positive effect on so many illnesses that it's also the reason why it's not being used or pushed - it can cure too many things."

09/24/2009: Chaste from Miami, Florida, USA: "Thanks so much! Do you know where/how to purchase it? Most of the 'Silver Oxide' searches lead to a powder that seems to be used for mechanical purposes or to Collodial Silver (which I'm ASSuming is very different)"

09/24/2009: Cc from Slc, Utah: "I will send an email/info to your yahoo address that might further you in finding the information your looking for. I would say that I have not been able to find where one can purchase (Ag4O4) for the purpose your looking for. But maybe this will give you a little more information then you had before."

09/26/2009: Ron from Manhattan, New York: "it is difficult to get sound information from the web...most often it is all repetition from one faulty source. There are claims that Boyd Graves was cured from a single injection of Tetrasilver only to read, later that he died from pnuemonia, a complication of aids. Perhaps this compound is effective at killing viruses, but "curing"? Healthy skepticism is prudent in all claims for cures."

10/26/2010: Bill from Annapolis, Maryland: "Common baking soda taken in small daily doses in water will keep your body in an alkaline state. An alkaline body will resist disease of all kinds. Dr. Otto Warburg won the nobel peace prize in the 30s for his discovery that all diseases are anaerobic, meaning they cannot exist in oxygen. 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide mixed properly in water will flood your body with oxygen. Selenium and amino acids also appear to be very beneficial in combination with the above mentioned products in combating HIV."

03/11/2011: Djproto16 from Kirkland, Wa, Usa: "Heres some information I have been collection for this source:

www.scribd.com/doc/29091515/Understanding-Tetrasil-Ag4O4-the-AIDS-cure-patent-and-dosage-progress-diary

When administered into the bloodstream, the device electrons will be triggered by pathogens, a proliferating virus and ISM, and when fired will simultaneously trigger a redox chelation mechanism resulting in divalent silver moieties which chelate and bind active sites of the entities destroying them. The devices are completely non-toxic.

The crystal lattice of the Ag. Sub. 4 O. Sub. 4 molecular device operates against pathogens by transferring electrons from its two monovalent silver ions to the two trivalent silver ions in the crystal contributing to the death of pathogens by traversing their cell membrane surface. This in effect "electrocutes" the pathogens. The electrons are forced out of their balanced crystals by such labile groups as NH, NH. Sub. 2, S--S and SH comprising pathogen cell membrane surface. However, normal cells will not be affected because they do not proliferate fast enough to expose these labile bonds.

look at these United States Patents

US Patent # 6, 258, 385
US Patent # 7, 135, 195
US Patent # 5, 223, 149
US Patent # 5, 211, 855

US Patent # 5, 089, 275
US Patent # 5, 078, 902
US Patent # 5, 073, 382

they all involve Tetrasilver Tetroxide (Ag404)

I don't think this is something the govenment will allow to be sold, you would have to make it...

4AgNO3 2Na2S2O8 8NaOH = Ag4O4 4Na2SO4 4NaNO3 4H2O

"A single intravenous injection of the devices is all that is required for efficacy at
levels of about 40 PPM of human blood. "


PPM is also expressed as milligrams per litre (mg/L). from this we understand 40 ppm is40 mg/L.

"of human blood" refers to the total amount of human blood in the body, which is about5 Lt.

To achieve Tetrasil (Ag4O4) concentration "levels of about 40 ppm of human blood" you would need 40
mg for every Lt of blood, 40mg x 5 = 200mg"

03/11/2011: Rob from Manhattan, Ny: "Did not Boyd Graves claimed cured by this procedure eventually die from aids complications?"

03/13/2011: Freddo from Baltimore, Md: "I'm dumbfounded by all of these suggestions! I think it's irresponsible to tell people that a simple solution of this or that will "cure" HIV/AIDS. There has been no proof that HIV can be cured as yet. This not to say that people should not try alternative treatment to relieve some of the effects of the disease, some do work to a certain extent. However to claim a cure is just not true.

I have worked as a social worker in the field of HIV/AIDS, and have seen this many time. A person convinced that they have found a cure for their disease through herbal treatment. I always thought the statement to be overly declarative, as if they were trying to convince themselves more than me.

I have also seen many of these same people eventually succumb to the virus, many of them die. There is no cure for HIV. I repeat, there is no cure for HIV. There are ways to relieve symtoms, some of which are natural. But those whom rely soley on alternative treatment, to stay healthy, will eventually progress to illness, and die.

Please be responsible with what you are saying. This is very dangerous information to offer. A newly diagnosed person, may read this and choose to go this route, and may end up very sick, and possibly die, if not put on medical treatment immediately. I've seen happen with my own eyes.

This is just as bad as the folks who believe that HIV does not really exist at all. Please everyone, do all whom are living with this disease a great justice, by adding to your testimony that natural rememdies may help relieve some symptoms, for some time, they are no permanent solution.

There are many people that are long-term survivors of HIV, and although many discoveries have been made along these lines, and the investigation continue, again, none of these people are considered cured. They have a chemical advantage, in their bodies, that has stopped the virus from progressing.

A cure for HIV is becoming increasinly possible with all of the new information that has been collected over the years, and the climate in research has turned from dismal to promising, giving hope both to researchers as well as patients. In addition, of course, current treatments, although admittedly toxic, are very effective and millions of people are being treated successfully. Living very healthy and happy lives.

I am not suggesting that alternative medicine is not viable, it has its place. However, total reliance on it, is like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun."

03/13/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Mass.: "Freddo; I don't think any one says that alternative meds. are a cure for any given disease but a lot of us do have high hopes, however if a person is in charge of their own faculties I would say it's their choice to believe what ever they choose or to even try alternative meds. I found in my travels that being in a positive state 24/7 does help one's condition(s) don't give up hope, I will keep you in my prayers. God bless"

03/13/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Mass.: "DJProto; Thanks but no thanks: I don't do needles very well, however I found a better & quicker way and thats with L-Lysine and colloidal silver, it's great and works well.
good luck"

03/14/2011: Teru from Paris, France: "Living very healthy and happy lives??? where did you see such a nice movie?"

03/08/2014: Anonymous : "#1 CURE FOR AIDS AND ALL DISEASES:

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.

Dave"

03/08/2014: Yochana from Andalusa Spain: "Hi, I have been diagnosed by a chiropractor as having lymes disease and I am taking a variety of supplements to help me.

Finally I am doing something positive to heal. For so long I could not take any consistent steps to make myself better. I just felt too overwhelmed and stuck.

So to anyone out there feeling the same way please dont give up. Even if you are afraid to get better keep seeking help. take small steps. Ask god/goddess Jesus allah buddah, hashem shekhina, the great spirit etc, love the loving spirits spirits of your ancestors devas angels or spirit of nature to help you. If you are an atheist call on the web of life or on love to help you.

We need you.

I was interested in the collodial silver and wanted to know what is a good brand and if it is safe to take. Dave said I was on thin ice and I was not sure what he meant.

Someone else mentioned candida, and according to the person I am working with I do not presently have candida.

I don't eat sugar at all and have not done so for over 2 years, thank god and overeaters anonymous that has mainly taken away the terrible cravings.

I still have gastric distress

I used to eat 20 candybars/junk pastry a day!!!!!

I don't know if I should cut down on or stop eating grains. I eat rice and buckwheat and quinoa and fruit. I also eat a lot of chicken and turkey.

I am allergic to soy and seitan so I cannot do tofu tempe etc. beans make me extremely ill tho I can tolerate hummous, maybe cause it is mashed up.

I eat a lot to maintain my weight which often runs low.

I get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of info on here so if you can make it simple that would be great.

Does anyone in Boston area have a rife machine?

I am still having great trouble sleeping and the pain in my neck area is very bad. I dont want to take drugs for the pain if you have other ideas I am very open. Thanks

If anyone can consolidate what works that would help as I get easily overwhemed. Thanks, Yochana"

[YEA]  01/29/2014: Melissa D. from Berlin, Wi: "YEAH!!!! My UGLY deposites are gone! I applied crushed garlic for 3 days 3 times a day. Like I said in my first response, it burned like hell and was reallly ugly. The super cold weather helped the burn, but I looked like I got socked in the kisser for about 8 days. My husband wouldn't let me go out of the house for fear he was going to get thrown in jail for my ugly eye. He couldn't look at me without laughing at me, so I threatened to rub my eye on him. When it was scabby and weaping I cut a wedge of nonstick gauze and applied it at bed time with Neosporin. During the day I washed it with a surgical scrub and let it dry out. Be very safe because an infection could be a trip to the doctor and alot of explaining. I'm very surprised and happy that a $.98 box of garlic saved me about $1500-$2000 at the doctor. I'm a normal person with kids and bills and we don't have that extra ching to spend on something like this! If you go to the doctor I'm sure your eye would look just as bad with an expensive procedure. Mine were under my so with the gals who have them on your eye lid be VERY careful! It is a natural chemical peel so it can do damage so DON'T get it in your eye ball! The more you can crush the garlic up and the mushier you can get it the better it works. I was going to do a 4th day and I'm glad I didn't because 3 is enough. I also use a vitamin E stick to moisturize and heal. So I'm saying goodbye and good luck to all that have this issue and be safe. I hope you get results like I did!"

03/06/2014: Jas from India: "I have big yellowish mark on the inner and small at the outer part of left eye. It came after 7 months of delivering my baby. N its been 1 and half year but still the same. I have started with garlic after reading the good reviews here n its my second day. M doing it twincely I hope it works on me n these ugly marks will go.. hoping for the best will defintly let u know does it work.."

03/08/2014: Suzanne from Fort Wayne, Indiana: "I started applying castor oil on my eye lids and along the lash line, also on my brows to grow them thicker. At first I didn't think it worked and I quit but started again as I liked the way the oil helped to remove every last bit of make up. My lashes and brows are thicker. It has taken awhile but it really works and to my surprise, it also got rid of the nasty xanthoma. The skin around my eyes is smooth and clear and castor oil is cheap and safe. I hope you try it."

03/08/2014: Jas from India: "In my previous post, I told u about Xanthoma on my left eye.. I have applied garlic for 10 to 15 mins twice a day its my third day my eye got swelled n became so reddish over it please any one tell me is it ok? Should I continue to apply it? How much time it will take to heal my reddish n swelled eye? Please those who got positive result reply me..."

03/09/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Jas, of course you should stop if you got irritation. You might try Castor Oil before bed."

03/08/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Dee from Springfield,

I just posted the suggestion to help MS sufferers. I have personal experience on seeing the positive effect of Calcium AEP. I use six to eight tablets if condition is bad or upon "flair ups"....and drink four tablespoons of Colloidal Silver daily for six months to kill the presumed virus which may be a trigger to MS. Oh by the way, there is also believed to be part of the MS, a heavy metal issue, usually mercury build up. Chelation for that and getting rid of mercury in teeth put there in amalgams."

03/07/2014: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "www.ldninfo.org:� Stops progression on MS in about 85% of people. Low dose naltrexone is taken by mouth, is FDA approved at 50 mg/day, but is used at a low dose for MS and other autoimmune diseases at 3-4.5 mg/day. No side effects except possible sleep distrubance for a week or so. Very low cost at about $40/month. Modulates the immune system. The Yahoo LDN Group that is mentioned on this site (above) has over 11,000 members who use LDN, about half for MS, and are very willing to answer any questions you may have for a variety of autoimmune diseases. There is very little to lose and much that may be gained from looking into LDN.

Additionally, I have met one woman and heard of several others who have no MS symptoms after using Lion's Mane mushroom powder every day, along with a few vitamins. It is also low cost and may be worth a try. Best wishes!"

03/08/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "I forgot about the low dose Naltrexone. It was one of the few drugs that I experimented with for CFS about a year at full dose a long time ago. I didn't experience any major side effects. I did research further and found there are some long term negative side effects associated with drug at full dose but I think the low dose Naltrexone should be fine to experiment and use for MS."

03/06/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "I am wondering whether your bleeding in the throat could have same cause as nose bleeds. You may be deficient in vitamin K2. I would consider vitamin K2 to address it. I'd experiment with both forms of K2 separately. The two forms are ML4 and ML7. ML7 is the preferred form for overall health."

03/07/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "To John from Cape Town,

Well, you were diagnosed with Bronchitis and if you are coughing up phlegm and you know from experience that you are experiencing what you had in the past, then obviously the diagnoses was correct. Likely a virally caused infection.

I use a "nebulizer" and breathe in deeply colloidal silver. I make my own CS so I know it is strong enough. Since I learned to do this eight years ago or so I've stopped a bronchial infection from fully developing, at least six or seven times, I'd guess. I use the nebulizer three daily over about three days. My problem is that with a bronchial infection, inevitably for me, is that the infection gets into my sinuses. So I can easily kill the infection in lungs/ bronchial passages, but it takes me longer to completely kill a "mean" infection (lipid coated?) in the sinus cavity."

03/07/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "Bill, you should try using the baby shampoo nasal spray to get rid of biofilm and then try the colloidal silver. Experiment to see if it removes infection quicker. Chronic sinus infection can be a sign of fungus. The colloidal silver may be getting rid of the bad bacteria thereby helping the flora in your sinus get rid of the fungus. Just an idea to explore if you haven't already."

03/07/2014: Redwine from Usa, Usa: "I suffered from chronic bronchitis every winter, sometimes the coughing lasted months. The drs told me I was a candidate for COPD, prescribed antibiotics, prednisone and cough suppresant. Nothing helped. The coughing was croupy but drs said that adults don't get croup. They said I had asthma and prescribed inhalers. They didn't help. I was scared, having a hard time breathing. Little by little I learned what my body needed to heal, mostly it was vitamin D3 & magnesium. I have not had bronchitis nor a cold since 2009. I take 5,000 IU of vit D3 and 500 mg of chelated magnesium per day, year around. I get my D3 levels checked regularly & is usually in the low 60's. Vit D3 is my miracle supplement."

How do you make Black Draught syrup and Clover salve?

I love the 'Old" remedies."

03/07/2014: Taram7 from Cincinnati: "Black Draught

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_draught

Clover Salve

Any salve can be made with an infused oil (infuse with the plant you want to use) This would vary based on the oils you choose, infusion method and plant. Then you add 1/3 part of infused oil, 1/3 other carrier oils (selected for properties) and 1/3 natural beeswax. These recipes could have been as numerous as the homes that used them based on what clovers were accessible in the area. Red Clover is supposed to be a good one for skin issues.

Beeswax has to be melted to mix - but that is all. infuse, melt, mix, cool. You can find basic infusion methods on the internet and many different salve recipes as well as tutorials also. Unless you had a 'clover oil' then you would want to infuse yourself. Its not difficult and saves money although not time :)"

03/07/2014: Blue from Cape Cod: "I take several anti-depressants, but because of the weight gaining side effect of these drugs, I take Topamax. It is a thyroid medication which is also used off label as an antidepressant. The benefit of this drug is that it has good anti-depressant qualities and is definately weight neutral and seems to counter the side-effect of any other drugs which may cause weight gain. Doctors should understand that unwanted weight gain is a depressant in itself."

03/07/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "Have you tried natural remedies to replace the Topomax. Topomax has a lot of side effects associated with it."

03/08/2014: Kt from Usa: "Lou from Falmouth--Ginger contains an antidepressant ingredient. I sprinkle that and turmeric on just about all vegetables I eat. Sometimes I put a little in warm water to drink. I put it on my eggs (it kills salmonella). I add it to my oatmeal. At this time it is just too cold to sit here and provide all benefits of this wonderful spice."

03/08/2014: Tony from Tn, Usa: "Blue from Cape Cod

Let me tell you my own personal story in getting off anti-depressant meds. I started taking both an anxiety and depression medications last year. They were doing me basically no good. I decided I was going to take this into my own hands. I came up with a plan along with the kind help of Bill here on the boards.

This plan involved mainly magnesium & niacin. I added a couple of other things myself. Those things have been 5-HTP and GABA. Let me say straight up that this isn't a quick fix like any medication is supposed to provide. It takes a while for this protocol to start working. Especially if you've suffered from long-term depression.

I will also say that NIACIN(B3) has probably been the biggest help. I take 500mg of niacin 3X daily w/meals. I take magnesium 250mg 3X daily w/meals. I take the GABA at 750mg(one dose) daily on an empty stomach normally first thing in the morning.

I take the 5-THP(100mg) once during the day and once at night(also 100mg) about one hour before bed. 5-HTP can be taken with or without food. I take it most of the time with food. The brand names to use are not really that critical. However, try to avoid any supplement with magnesium stearate added as a filler or any other fillers for that matter.

I personally use Doctor's Best and NOW Foods for most of these recommended supplements. It took me over 1 month before I started seeing any major changes. Now, it's been almost 5 months now and NO MORE ANTI-DEDRESSANTS! I had to wean off them slowly. I just cut back gradually. I cut back about every 2 weeks in dosage. I'm no longer depressed but I do still have some anxiety at times.

I'm allowing zapping & parasite cleansing to help with all the other leftover health issues I have going on. Hope this helps you out! Depression is tough! However, adding prescription meds only makes it worse in most cases. I'm thankful to God that I'm now no longer taking them! God Bless!"

03/06/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "I am wondering whether your bleeding in the throat could have same cause as nose bleeds. You may be deficient in vitamin K2. I would consider vitamin K2 to address it. I'd experiment with both forms of K2 separately. The two forms are ML4 and ML7. ML7 is the preferred form for overall health."

03/07/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "To John from Cape Town,

Well, you were diagnosed with Bronchitis and if you are coughing up phlegm and you know from experience that you are experiencing what you had in the past, then obviously the diagnoses was correct. Likely a virally caused infection.

I use a "nebulizer" and breathe in deeply colloidal silver. I make my own CS so I know it is strong enough. Since I learned to do this eight years ago or so I've stopped a bronchial infection from fully developing, at least six or seven times, I'd guess. I use the nebulizer three daily over about three days. My problem is that with a bronchial infection, inevitably for me, is that the infection gets into my sinuses. So I can easily kill the infection in lungs/ bronchial passages, but it takes me longer to completely kill a "mean" infection (lipid coated?) in the sinus cavity."

03/07/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "Bill, you should try using the baby shampoo nasal spray to get rid of biofilm and then try the colloidal silver. Experiment to see if it removes infection quicker. Chronic sinus infection can be a sign of fungus. The colloidal silver may be getting rid of the bad bacteria thereby helping the flora in your sinus get rid of the fungus. Just an idea to explore if you haven't already."

03/07/2014: Redwine from Usa, Usa: "I suffered from chronic bronchitis every winter, sometimes the coughing lasted months. The drs told me I was a candidate for COPD, prescribed antibiotics, prednisone and cough suppresant. Nothing helped. The coughing was croupy but drs said that adults don't get croup. They said I had asthma and prescribed inhalers. They didn't help. I was scared, having a hard time breathing. Little by little I learned what my body needed to heal, mostly it was vitamin D3 & magnesium. I have not had bronchitis nor a cold since 2009. I take 5,000 IU of vit D3 and 500 mg of chelated magnesium per day, year around. I get my D3 levels checked regularly & is usually in the low 60's. Vit D3 is my miracle supplement."

03/08/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Shani Raj: This could be a problem w/ the liver/gallbladder. Are you or have you been taking pharmaceutical medications which could be toxic to your liver? Do you drink alcohol beverage? Any history of hepatitis virus?

You can try cleaning your gallbladder and supporting your liver. Here are 2 E.C. links: http://earthclinic.com/CURES/gallstones.html. http://earthclinic.com/CURES/liver-damage-treatment.html"

03/08/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Shani Raj from India;

A suggestion on the heart palpitations ... I've found an amazing number of "A-Fib" problems can be helped with 500 mg orally of magnesium...I take mag citrate but one could get the magnesium with a quarter teaspoon of Epsom salts.

For your digestion issues, have you considered apple cider vinegar? ACV is really BIG on Earth Clinic...read about it under "Remedies" and you'll be amazed at all the things ACV does for the human body.

It could be the two problems are connected by another underlying issue. That is, there may be a deeper issue but I doubt it. Seems like two distinct issues. They may relate to each other but for the immediate consider using the Magnesium and the ACV. "

03/07/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "There are many remedy suggestions under earth clinics ailment section for constipation. I'd start with that first."

03/08/2014: Kt from Usa: "This is for Dave--I am in my middle sixties and I never had problems with my heart until I started taking mag citrate. Over ten years ago I had frightening palpitations and "flutterings" that scared me to death. To make a long story short, I had been diagnosed with PVC (premature ventricular contractions) That occurred again, right AFTER a stress test, while I was resting. I found out that "citrate" (a form of MSG)is processed from corn. I stopped taking it and resumed standard mag tabs and my PVC subsided. I have since started using the mag powder because binders and fillers of meds or supplements or more than likely processed from corn OR in the process of being made, a manufactured form of glutamic acid (MSG) is created."

03/08/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Dee from Springfield,

I just posted the suggestion to help MS sufferers. I have personal experience on seeing the positive effect of Calcium AEP. I use six to eight tablets if condition is bad or upon "flair ups"....and drink four tablespoons of Colloidal Silver daily for six months to kill the presumed virus which may be a trigger to MS. Oh by the way, there is also believed to be part of the MS, a heavy metal issue, usually mercury build up. Chelation for that and getting rid of mercury in teeth put there in amalgams."

03/07/2014: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "www.ldninfo.org:� Stops progression on MS in about 85% of people. Low dose naltrexone is taken by mouth, is FDA approved at 50 mg/day, but is used at a low dose for MS and other autoimmune diseases at 3-4.5 mg/day. No side effects except possible sleep distrubance for a week or so. Very low cost at about $40/month. Modulates the immune system. The Yahoo LDN Group that is mentioned on this site (above) has over 11,000 members who use LDN, about half for MS, and are very willing to answer any questions you may have for a variety of autoimmune diseases. There is very little to lose and much that may be gained from looking into LDN.

Additionally, I have met one woman and heard of several others who have no MS symptoms after using Lion's Mane mushroom powder every day, along with a few vitamins. It is also low cost and may be worth a try. Best wishes!"

03/08/2014: Prioris from Fl, Usa: "I forgot about the low dose Naltrexone. It was one of the few drugs that I experimented with for CFS about a year at full dose a long time ago. I didn't experience any major side effects. I did research further and found there are some long term negative side effects associated with drug at full dose but I think the low dose Naltrexone should be fine to experiment and use for MS."

01/21/2012: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "I have some good news for you. Please look at this website, www.ldninfo.org. LDN is an inexpensive, FDA approved drug, which when taken in a very small dose can help with many autoimmune diseases, and is usually very effective in stopping progression of MS. Additionally, please join the Yahoo LDN group that has over 10,000 members, at least half of whom have MS. They will help you very willingly and with much understanding and experience. You are not alone and help is as close as your computer. Best wishes!"

01/22/2012: Bess from Calgary, Alberta, Canada: "Hi Orshi - I don't know about hydrogen peroxide for MS, but you may find the following TED video very interesting.

TEDxIowaCity - Dr. Terry Wahls - Minding Your Mitochondria

Dr. Terry Wahls learned how to properly fuel her body. Using the lessons she learned at the subcellular level, she used diet to cure her MS and get out of her wheelchair.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLjgBLwH3Wc

Hope there is some valuable information in it for you. Take care, Bess"

02/01/2012: Laura from Denver, Co: "Hi Orshi, I have MS too, I have found oxygen therapy helpful. Hydrogen peroxide, and also Homozon. I did CCSVI treatment several times but while there were benefits they only last 6 months for me. I had it again and veins were open but symptoms came back. After lots of supplements, and continued progression, I tried stem cell therapy which stopped the progression and with exercise seems to be helping me get better. Went from wheelchair to walker outside the house. It's been 2 months.

02/01/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa: "This is exciting news to me: stem cell therapy. Is it available in the USA at this time ? ...Oscar"

03/03/2012: Laura from Denver, Co, Usa: "Hi Oscar, Yes, I know of one place in the US http://www.stem-cell-rejuvenation.com/ the rest are out of the country. I went to Mexico."

03/07/2014: Pete from Vancouver, B.c.: "Hi,

Just found this site and have been reading all the interesting posts.

My yoga instructor was telling us about Hydrogen Peroxide food grade and how it might be beneficial for people with MS, which I have had for 6/7 years now. Not sure if I can get LDN in Canada but will look into it.

Orshi, if you are still looking at this post every now and then, just wondering how you made out and if you have tried the LDN ??

I am 50 and also have extreme numbness in both legs/feet as well as bladder/bowel/eye problems as well as others.

Anyone in Canada purchasing the LDN? Thanks for any info. Best to everyone, Pete"

03/08/2014: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Pete, re your MS;

Also look into a substance that Dr Robert Adkins used as his number one go to for his MS patients that he would give to them in IV form, although the oral consumption I have seen is amazingly effective for the symptoms you describe; "Calcium AEP" and the "calcium" part is not the issue...it is the AEP part that is the miracle. You can google "Nutrition Review Calcium AEP" and find an amazing article on the 20 different things AEP can do to help the human body, To deal with leg symptoms, especially when stressed, up to eight tablets of AEP are needed.

Also, I have found Colloidal Silver to be effective in killing viral infections. It is theorized that MS has as a trigger a virus."

[YEA]  03/07/2014: Chrissey from Atlanta, Ga , Usa : "Comment about quitting too fast. I am writing for my husband who quit aspartame two months ago but still cannot focus enough to write. He is a doctor, a brilliant man that was working on cleaning up his silent LPR (gerd), stopped the ppi's and the diet soda and two days later lost part of his brain. He feels like he is on LSD... Very paranoid, high anxiety and some panic attacks...

We are following dr blaylocks protocol along with saunas and enema. And enzymes I have seen a little improvement. Trying charcoal right now .. Will update.. Also trying TM.

He did not have any of these symptoms before other then stomach and coughing..Most of the gerd symptoms are gone! But his Brian seems damaged..

He was not eating a lot of animal food other then fish, but his diet may have been acidic from coffee and the sodas...

Any thoughts..but really wanted to warn others to go slow if been drinking aspartame for a long time...."

03/08/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Chrissey: I would recommend several known "nootropic" nutrients to support brain health like: Taurine, Triple Strength Lecithin, Acetyl L-Carnatine, Phosphatidl Serine, Vinposetine or Huperazine. Chinese Skullcap herb, Ginko Biloba herb. 5HTP & Melatonin, rotated every other night w/ GABA, prior to retiring.

A good multivatmin/mineral will also help detoxify the alcohols or aldehydes from the tissues. Extra Zinc & Niacin will also help. NADH would be the best form of Niacin as it is an activated coenzyme that also fuels the brain w/ energy."

03/08/2014: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Chrissey: I forgot to mention Alkalizing Remedies as is evident from your post the acidosis issues which are common in the presence of alcohols or aldehydes. I use 1/2 Baking soda w/ 1/2 Sea Salt 3x day."
