15 days agoGiant Cell Arteritis - Remedies Needed (New Ailments Page Created)
15 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.

15 days agoCopper for Neuropathy
16 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

16 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
16 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
16 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
16 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
16 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
16 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.
Bentonite Clay & Psyllium Husk for Metal and Chemical Toxicities
16 days agoI used bentonite clay and pysllium husk shakes for several years for aluminum, mercury and petrochemical removal from the body. The results were confirmed by blood test, to the considerable surprise of the person doing the test. Clay has a power of attraction and will bind heavy metals etc. so that they can be carried out of the body from the GI tract. Remember that what we have ingested the body will either excrete or metabolize and if it cannot do either, it will sequester toxins in the fat, organs etc. Attempting to remove these substances from where the body has put them WITHOUT providing an additional mechanism of excretion such as clay is IMHO very foolish. If the body could have excreted them in the first place it would have! But provide the additional and effective mechanism via bentonite clay and I believe the body will migrate the toxins to the GI tract for excretion. The body has an intelligence after all. DMPS "tests" for mercury etc. are particularly dangerous IMHO as they pull into the blood stream what is probably a greater quantity of heavy metals than was ever present during the ingestion phase. I saw such a case lead to rapid onset dementia and death.
Re: Post-Menopausal Weight Gain
16 days agoHi Christi,
Diets sometimes work different for some than others; and yes health issues can be a problem; however, I have listed a few that knocked some pounds off for me in the past:
- An easy diet once you get the swing of it, is one meal a day any time after a certain time. I did this as a consecration once, one meal after 3 o'clock. It was to be for few months, and I lost about forty pounds before the event. I was in my fifties at the time. It was easy because I did not have to change what I ate. I stayed on the diet several more months, losing about sixty pounds total. I kept the weight off until I started back with the extra meals during a vacation.
- The cabbage diet works for someone who wants a quick weight lost. I lost about fourteen (14) pounds in 7 days. I would not suggest it, because a person may not realize that too much body fluid is quickly lost in this diet. But I must admit I was happy with my achievement. However, the weight slowly returned at my regular diet.
- The Myo-Inositol also worked for me. The pounds are still off. It is said to balance hormones, and I guess my hormones must have been whacky. I lost about Five pounds each month, that was about 20 pounds the first four months. The weight lost slowed down after that. Overall since I started taking the Myo-Inositol a few years ago I have lost about 35 pounds altogether. When in doubt take the amount listed on the bottle. However, I still take two 500 mg capsules for a total 1000mgs daily. I still take it, because I feel like it helps me with stress.
