Borax Side Effects
10 days agoHi Alena,
If you do not tolerate borax, some people have reported that they were able to take a boron based supplement for arthritis relief instead of borax. Here is a link to a typical boron glycinate supplement :

Phantom Music - Remedies Requested (New Ailments Page Created)
10 days agoSince April when I took the pain killer pregabalin for a couple of weeks after it was prescribed for my back pain, I have been hearing an orchestra play in my head 24/7. it really disturbs me and interferes with sleep. I was told it is a known side effect of the drug but that most people find it fades. If it doesn't there seems to be no known remedy. I would love to hear if anyone knows of any way of silencing it....

10 days agoMSM Side Effects - Raises Blood Pressure
10 days ago
Hi, I suffer with pain in my hips and lower back, and my balance is not good. I'm pretty ancient and perhaps should accept that this is part of the aging process, but like all of us I want to live an interesting and pain free life. An MRI scan has been done, and it was found that I do not have arthritis. I think I've taken every supplement going to help with the pain and lack of balance, but to no avail. A few years ago I did try taking MSM, and at the time discovered it did not suit me, though cannot now remember why I discontinued it. This last week and a half I decided to take it again, starting with half a teaspoonful a day, but on checking my blood pressure I've had readings of around 167/87. Today I decided not to take it, and my BP had dropped to 130/80. Has anyone else found that MSM raises their BP? Half a teaspoonful is very low compared to some who take three tablespoonfuls a day or more, so I cannot understand why it should affect my BP so dramatically. I understand that it is very safe to take.
Re: DMSO on Hemorrhoids?
10 days agoBorax Side Effects
10 days agoI took recommended dose of 1/8 tsp in my coffee. By day 3 I had uncomfortable pain in both hips, by day 4 it was more uncomfortable to where I couldn't sleep. I stopped and it's slowly going away, I'm on day 3 of not taking…but I even have sensitivity to my skin where my hip joints are. Not only did I have the pain, I also felt so exhausted and tired. Any advice or suggestions I would greatly appreciate!

11 days agoDMSO on Hemorrhoids?
11 days agoWondering if anyone has used dmso for thrombosed hemorrhoids before? I have external and internal hemorrhoids and raw ones that will protrude outside my anus and bleed a lot when irritated. So I'm obviously very sick and tired of this. Has anyone got experience with using dmso down there? I'm concerned about the burning haha! And possibly the blood thinner part

11 days agoNew Study Suggests Melatonin May Be Useful For Atherosclerosis Prevention
11 days agoThe following new (December, 2025) study suggests that melatonin may work to help prevent atherosclerosis as discussed here :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1567576925020089?via=ihub
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' Melatonin inhibits the growth of atherosclerosis and the pro-inflammatory differentiation of macrophages by blocking the Sirt3-Drp1 pathway, which prevents mitochondria from fission. Melatonin's suppression of mitochondrial fission may be a viable strategy for postponing cardiovascular problems in atherosclerosis patients. '
This may be complementary to the anti-atherosclerotic effects of Nattokinase in humans that I discussed here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/high-dose-nattokinase-for-atherosclerosis.html
Why is this important to everyone? It is important because atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD is the number one cause of death in the world.

Mushroom Complex AHCC For HPV
11 days agoThought I'd add this to the list as I'm shocked it's not already mentioned! I'm just about 43, been battling HPV since my 20s and have had so many colposcopy's I've lost track along with a leap procedure and other more painful unorthodox procedures from gynos to try to rid my cervix of HPV. The only thing that has given me a clean pap is a mushroom compound called "AHCC." I tried it out of desperation a couple years ago after I got yet ANOTHER bad pap and the doctor was talking about taking even MORE serious measures. I found this company online called Wellex and their "AHCC" complex specifically for HPV. I took it every day for 8+ months and then had a clean pap! PERFECT! Then I stopped and it apparently came back. Funny enough, this gyno actually recommended I take it (she didn't know that's how I got my first clean pap). So now I'm back on it, although I'm trying a cheaper version off Amazon that's about half the price. I'm sure my next pap will come out clean and will probably take it the 4-6 months right before my pap every year to see if that finally keeps them clean. Hopefully this info helps someone else!

11 days agoRe: Long Covid
11 days agoTo update the original post on Long Covid, this newer study (October, 2025) adds further confirmation that melatonin is useful for this purpose as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12688923/
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Post-COVID syndrome (long COVID) is increasingly recognized as a state of chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, and multiorgan dysfunction. Emerging evidence highlights circadian rhythm disruption and melatonin dysregulation as overlooked drivers of persistent symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, and immune dysregulation. Reduced melatonin impairs cytokine suppression, antioxidant defense, and mitochondrial protection, fueling inflammation and oxidative stress. These disruptions, coupled with autoimmune responses targeting adrenergic and muscarinic receptors, exacerbate systemic pathology. Preliminary data suggest that melatonin supplementation and chronotherapy may restore circadian alignment, rebalance immunity, and mitigate disease progression, although robust large-scale trials remain limited. Integrating circadian science into therapeutic protocols may provide a novel avenue for improving long-term outcomes in post-COVID patients. '
Melatonin has shown this ability to realign circadian rhythms and now that the latest information is showing the importance of realigning the circadian rhythms in Long Covid/Post Covid Syndrome, this mechanism of melatonin is showing its value for this purpose and adding further confirmation as to the multiple beneficial health effects of melatonin for post covid syndrome.

Re: Iodine for Excessive Sulphur
12 days agoTo Janette from Sydney Australia, thank you so much for the information of "Iodine balances sulphur overload".
I had built my intake of DMSO up to 20 drops in a glass of water each day and then suddenly broke out in hives on my arms and legs. It took me a while to make the connection of the DMSO and hives.
After reading your comment I commenced 1 drop per day of 3% w/w Molecular Iodine Colloid each morning. The hives slowly started subsiding over the following week so I stopped taking the Iodine for 1week to check that it was the Iodine that was helping, and the hives appeared to get a little worse.
I then continued with the 1 drop per day supplementation over some weeks until all hives had disappeared.
Apple Cider Vinegar for UTI
12 days agoHi, my name is Anne and although it's been over tens years since I posted about Apple cider vinegar and how it helped my cat. I am now back to let others know that it's also helped me. First of all, I didnt realize I had a UTI starting as I'm currently getting over a nasty flu bug thats going around. Anyway, I did notice for about a week that my urine was darker and strong smelling, but just thought it was due to being sick with the flu and taking otc cold remedies. Bottom line, today it showed up with blood and pain or urinating tiny amounts constantly. I was literally back and forth to the washroom like every five mins and less. Really awful and lower back pain too. :-(
Then I remembered my ACV so I immediately drank down a cup of water with one heaping tablespoon. Then half an hour later I drank another cup, again with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It only took about an hour before I was peeing nice long clear painless with no blood streaks. What a relief!!! I'm going to continue this for seven days to be sure it completely clears it up. I'll return in about seven days to let others know it turned out and how much I drank. It's now been a few hours and so far, so good. :-D
