8 days agoRe: Macular Edema Remedies Needed
8 days agoI have read that castor oil applied to the eyelids at night over a number of weeks can help you get rid of macular edema, as it draws impurities from the eyes. The person who mentioned this remedy said she had also been using an eye mask on top of her eyes at night, to create the effect of a castor oil pack over the eyes. I hope this helps.

10 days agoHi Hollyhock,
In Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) and the resulting Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) elevated IL-6 (inflammatory cytokines), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) inflammatory levels are a definite issue so looking for supplements that lower IL-6, ESR and CRP is important.
Although melatonin is an IL-6 and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) inhibitor, it may not be a good choice for these two health issues when combined with the standard corticosteroid therapy. Several known IL-6, ESR and CRP inhibitors are :
1. NAC @ 1200 mg/day total in two divided doses of 600 mg at breakfast and 600 mg at dinner
2. Curcumin @ at least 1000 mg/day
3. Omega 3s such as Fish Oil at 3 grams total per day
4. Astaxanthin @ 24 mg/day with a meal
5. Vitamin D to get well into the reference range for 25 OH d level of 30 ~ 100 ng/ml
The above mentioned dosing is based on studies for other health issues in humans than the two that are named.
Due to different methods of action among this group, there is also potential for synergy, which could be useful.
Due to the serious nature of the two named health issues, you will need to get your doctors approval and supervision in order to use the mentioned supplements.

10 days agoCopper for Neuropathy
10 days ago
has anyone here had neuropathy because of copper deficiency? I suspect that's what my husband has but of course I'm not sure because doctors dismiss copper without testing... if so-are you supplementing with copper-2 mg?-and is it helping?
he started taking beef liver in capsules -the best source of copper-but feels tired and complains of pain
this pain takes away his will to live--as usually pain does. Why is he feeling more pain after supplementing deficient mineral? --i know from hair analysis that he is deficient

10 days agoMy husband, is 73, has polymyalgia rhumatica and his rheumatologist warned us about giant cell arteritis, which is directly related to pmr. I had hoped to find information on Earth Clinic but couldn't. It is a very dangerous condition, can cause blindness and can enlarge the aorta as well. Maybe someone who has dealt with the condition can chime in? Thanks so much!
Re: Grover's Disease Rash
10 days agoHi Sarah,
I had to google what this was and see the pics. I then went to Amazon and they have lotions for this, most contain honey. Honey is very healing esp with tallow. Did you try Gold Bond, it has zinc oxide in it with NO talc, talc can be irritating so some people. As for the long COVID you might want to look up my "New and wonderful treatment for fibromyalgia" in the fibromyalgia section caused by COVID. The Ivermectin is good but this would be an adjunct treatment to that.
Re: MSM Drops For Wet Macular Degeneration
10 days agoI put the drops in my eyes as per recommended by Dr. Sam Berne a Holistic eye doctor. (Drops may briefly sting.) I also use the drops in my drinking water throughout the day as directed on the bottle. Doing that has also helped my overall vision. Hope this helps.
Essential Oils and Carrier Oils
11 days agoAll essential oils should be used with a carrier oil such as, castor, almond, jojoba, avocado, Aloe vera gel, or a mixture of two, such as castor and Slow, as castor, with exceptional penetrating capabilities, is very thick and sticky.
Never apply an essential oil w/o a carrier directly to skin or hair or any surface
Simple Cure for Acid Reflux
11 days agoA simple cure for acid reflux
I had AR for years until I finally stopped and considered the simple mechanics of digestion and modified my behaviour so that I was not interfering with that process. When we eat the stomach produces acid in the volume necessary to digest the food consumed. That acid is also at the necessary concentration to digest the food. When we drink just before or during meals, or just after meals, we dilute the stomach acids to the point where their function is greatly impaired. The body naturally detects this and produces more acid to restore the required acidic concentration. The result, depending on how much liquid is consumed, is a much greater quantity of acid than was needed to digest the food. This requires a commensurately larger quantity of bile to neutralize when the chyme enters the small intestine. When I stopped drinking before, during or until about 30 minutes after meals, my acid reflux ceased immediately and completely and has never returned except on rare occasions when I broke this rule on social occasions. Primitive man not only feasted and fasted, he ate and drank mostly at different times. Give it a try!
Black Walnut Tincture Kills Nail Fungus
11 days agoI have completely cured my own and another person's fungal nails (big toes) using black walnut tincture. Fill a jar with green walnuts with the husks on, fill remaining space in jar with Everclear grain alcohol, seal and let sit, shaking maybe once a week or so. In one case the toe was dipped into a shot glass of the tincture for a few minutes each morning, in the other simply applied with a dropper once a day. Die-off was fastest with the immersion, but some inflammation occurred. This was easily resolved by immersion in Common Plantain tincture made by gathering the leaves and blending to pulp in a solution of grain alcohol (Everclear) Plantago Major or Common Plantain is extraordinarily effective for healing and infections and should always be on hand: make the tincture in summer for winter use when the plant is not available.
