Diatomaceous Earth for Scabies
11 days agoHello Everyone;
Here to share my experience. Till this day, don't know how I got infected with these malicious mites but my body was taken over by these invaders. My hands, neck and chest!! One thing that helped me in this madness was a YouTube channel literally called "I think I have Mites" this Australian Woman chronicles her experience with Demodex mites. To me mites are just like snakes, you have different varieties but their all the same. She recommends Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade only) You have to make yourself "inhospitable" to these freeloaders. Remember you're tired to being a 5-star luxury resort for them things you got to morph into the most horror ridden hostel. This is all that you need and what you need to do:
1st- Buy some Sulphur Soap, shower under very warm/hot water as you "scrub" with some type of bodypuff. You got to scrap the soap into your skin to get at them. I also add 10-15 drops clover oil into my body wash bottle, shake it up every-time you use it. I bodywash first round, sulphur soap second wash.
2nd-Buy a cheap spray bottle. You are going to mix 91% alcohol and yellow mouthwash that contains Thymol like 80:20 ratio. You're going to spray your sofa/couch, bed, carpet where-ever you lounge. You can even spray yourself in the areas you feel them biting.
**3rd-Buy a 4lb bag of Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade). You're going to dust every body part these mites have burrowed underneath your skin. Wear a mask(bandanna or cotton-balls in your nostrils) when applying because you Do Not want to breathe this stuff in your lungs.
4th-I even bought some Bittermelon & Sweet Wormwood pills. Because I saw where you could eat bittermelon to help with this (I don't know if it helped but this is what I did.)
I know the DE dusting, Sulphur Soap, clove oil & 91%alcohol mixed with Yellow mouthwash spray worked. Also, I isolated myself from my family=no hugs :(, slept on 3 different twin sheets in rotation to laundry used Borax Powder in my separated laundry on hot water, mites can't survive hot water either.
Hope this Helps! Love this Site and Everyone! Stay Blessed ;*

13 days agoHi Rebecca! Thank you for your post about DHM. I've been buying the capsules from Amazon and taking several of them in the morning, after drinking a lot of wine (1.5 bottles or sometimes even 2 bottles). But it says on the label that these capsules are “350mg”. So this is an example of a dose that you feel is too low? If my math is correct, your “1 gram capsule” is 1000 mg; so, 3 of my 350mg capsules basically. And that's PER DRINK, right? I'm just checking to see if I'm following your math correctly (and if I am, I would definitely need to take way way more of these “350mg capsules” than I've been taking). By the way, I looked up that 100 gram bag of the powder on Amazon that you mentioned, and saw on the back label that they are claiming that 1/8th of a teaspoon has 350mg of the DHM in it. So does that mean that you are putting at least 3 x 1/8th teaspoon into EACH individual capsule that you fill by hand? Thereby creating a 1000mg capsule roughly? And then once you've made a whole bunch of those “1000mg capsules”, you take one PER DRINK? ((And you take them right after drinking, ie that same night, before going to bed— rather than taking them in the morning after))? Thank you for clarifying all this! I want to try your idea of making my own capsules at home but have never done that before, so I'm trying to get it “right” so that this new higher dose of DHM really does help me (as in, less of a hangover the next day). Thanks!
Heavy Metal Detox for Autism
14 days agoHi Susan,
Normally your doctor will first test for heavy metal poisoning to determine which metals are too high and then will start the patient on the proper chelating treatment. Since you feel the heavy metal exposure is from years ago, hair testing for heavy metals may be useful, but not so much for recent heavy metal exposure. Blood testing is generally considered more accurate.
Once your doctor starts the chelation treatment, it may be useful to take melatonin regularly if your son tolerates it well to help protect the body from toxicity caused by any freed heavy metals. People on the ASD are often low in night time melatonin production and release where melatonin would normally offers neuroprotective effects, circadian alignment as well as night time cleanup of toxic debris(autophagy). Use of oral melatonin in the evening can help restore autophagy, circadian rhythm and neural protection as melatonin and its over 10 metabolites act as highly potent antioxidants, radical scavengers and can help restore a compromised/damaged blood brain barrier (BBB) as heavy metals are established as being able to not only cross the BBB, but also damage it allowing other toxicants that should never be in the brain, to enter the brain and cause further damage.
Another useful supplement to act as a neuroprotectant, potent antioxidant, and anti-neuroinflammatory in ASD and during chelation is Astaxanthin. Both melatonin and astaxanthin are potent mitochondrial protectants and mitochondria are very often compromised in ASD.
The first step is to do the heavy metal testing to confirm the presence of heavy metals find out what heavy metals are at play and then his doctor can start him on the appropriate chelation therapy. If the testing does not confirm heavy metal toxicity, then it is time to consider other causes for the anxiety issue.
Other common symptoms of heavy metal toxicity are fatigue, brain fog and numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Given the length of time that you suspect the heavy metal toxicity has been present, other symptoms besides anxiety could likely be present.
Please keep us updated on your sons progress.

Re: Borax and Estradiol
14 days agoHi Carrie,
Based on reports on EC and on the web, borax appears to have cumulative effects for the first three months or so of use and that is generally the testing period that people seem to give it for arthritis, but if you stop using it, the arthritis generally comes back over time and I confirmed this in a recent test I did by stopping borax for months after it had kept me in remission from psoriatic arthritis for over 18 years.
So if your intent is to potentially rebalance specific hormones, the above may be a type of guide that you can discuss with your doctor.

How to Improve Fine Motor Skills With Hands?
14 days agoDear Earth Clinic,
Do you have any suggestions to improve fine motor skills with the hands? Arthritis, lyme, age, etc has effected my hands and control of them and also for fine things. Shaky when holding a cup. And slight loss of control of hands and fingers. I am not sure if this has to do with the brain, spinal cord, mercury tooth fillings affecting the brain. Any suggestions to improve the hands and motor skills? Thank you

14 days agoGreetings, I am concerned about my son. He's 34 yr old and he has Higher Functioning Autism. I've been his #1 advocate since he was born and throughout his life. He was diagnosed with autism at 27 months old. As an adult on the spectrum he has recently learned that he is being tracked .. he also is experiencing higher levels of anxiety. It's clear to me from all the research I've done, in specifically the year of which he was born 1992, that in these vaccine there were HIGHER levels of MANY metals and nanotechnology as with the COVID vaccine and I have to help him remove as much as possible.. oclearly he's effected and I am his only hope in finding the best safest way to guide him. Please advise me. We are willing to travel if NEEDED. I appreciate all that you do and what you can do to help my son. Susan White

14 days agowhen using Black salve I have found that putting a bit of coconut oil on it helps releive the pain significantly, and after the tumor drops out, immediatley fill the hole with coco oil- it stops the pain and speeds healing, more often than not it will leave a minimal scar- if any.
Re: Stopping Blood Thinners for Alternatives
15 days agoHi Lora,
Based on the study I wrote about previously in the link below, 2000 FU is not likely to offer any measurable benefit to cholesterol lowering or anti-arteriosclerotic effects.
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/high-dose-nattokinase-for-atherosclerosis.html
In the above study, one group involved in the study were given 3600 FU's and another group was given 10, 800 FU's of nattokinase. Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' The “lower dose” nattokinase group received 3, 600 FU (fibrinolytic units) per day. In the study, that dose was found to be ineffective for improving cholesterol/lipid levels or slowing the progression of atherosclerosis. Researchers reported that the 3, 600 FU/day group did not significantly lower lipids or suppress plaque progression, whereas the much higher 10, 800 FU/day dose did show significant benefits. '
So if you are planning on using nattokinase to reduce atherosclerosis and or cholesterol, 2000 FU's/day is not likely to be effective.
Regarding taking niacin at 500 mg/day, you didn't specify what type of niacin, so I have to assume that it is nicotinic acid. While that dose of nicotinic can offer health benefit, it is essentially a pharmacological dose and it also carriesmultiple health risks with it that you should be aware of, possibly to the liver as discussed here :
At 500 mg/day, nicotinic acid moves beyond a simple vitamin dose and into a pharmacologic range.
Potential concerns include:
- Liver stress or liver injury
- Risk is higher with:
- sustained/extended-release forms
- alcohol use
- pre-existing liver disease
- combining with other hepatotoxic substances
- Insulin resistance / higher blood sugar
- Can worsen glucose control in susceptible people.
- Elevated uric acid
- May trigger gout in predisposed individuals.
- Gastrointestinal irritation
- Gastritis or ulcer aggravation can occur.
- Possible arrhythmia or blood pressure effects
- Usually uncommon, but possible in sensitive individuals.
- Risk is higher with:
Immediate-release vs sustained-release
This matters a lot:
- Immediate-release nicotinic acid
- More flushing
- Generally considered less liver-toxic than sustained-release at equivalent doses.
- Sustained/extended-release niacin
- Less flushing
- Greater liver risk.
Monitoring
If someone uses 500 mg/day regularly, many clinicians would consider periodic monitoring of:
- liver enzymes (AST/ALT)
- fasting glucose or HbA1c
- uric acid
Interaction with the PHL
Relative to your PHL framework:
- niacin may support aspects of lipid metabolism and NAD-related pathways,
- but high-dose nicotinic acid can also increase oxidative/metabolic stress in some individuals if overdone.
- Since your PHL already includes NR or NMN for NAD+ support, adding substantial nicotinic acid may not always produce additive benefit and may increase side-effect burden.
Important distinction
“Nicotinic acid” is different from:
- Niacinamide (less flushing, different effects)
- NR (nicotinamide riboside)
- NMN
Those forms behave differently biologically and have different risk profiles.
For many people, 500 mg/day is tolerated, but it is not generally considered a trivial or purely nutritional dose.
You are describing several different health issues, chelation, atherosclerosis and blood thinning/clotting and I am not quite sure which one you want to address, but if it is the atherosclerosis, it will likely require a significantly higher dose of nattokinase than the 2000 FU's you were previously taking. Such a higher dose can potentially reduce fibrin which stabilizes clots. So from my point of view, I would consider nattokinase as more of a helper in dissolving blood clots than a blood thinner.
The higher dosing of niacin may offer some modest anti-clotting effects.
Others that can be useful for fighting atherosclerosis are:
1. Omega 3 with high EPA
2. Aged Garlic Extract
3. Vitamin K2M7
4. Magnesium Glycinate
5. Cocoa Flavanols
