11/25/2013: Mr. Ree from Usa: "GULP a glass of ice water and your racing heart will go away immediately... In other words drink it hard down your throat."

11/25/2013: Jillery from Nc: "I used TrueHope to wean myself off my psych meds about 8 years ago. I did pretty well without meds but I also stopped taking supplements (bad! ). I had a hefty bipolar event in Sept-- came on situational (lost job) and then I became terribly depressed. I started with the TrueHope stuff again and they also referred me to a holistic shrink in the area. Thru trial and error (and intuition) I am also taking 5HTP, GABA, magnesium and Vit D. I feel I am the kind of person who lacks serotonin and those add ons helped me a great deal. My doctor had me read the book NUTRITION POWER by Dr. Walsh (Welsh?) and there are folks who don't make enough serotonin, some who make too much copper, some who need extra Zinc, etc etc etc. My doc can do the blood tests but being unemployed I cannot afford the testing (all in all about $800 for like 4 various tests) so I/we did the trial and error stuff. So the reason some people respond well (or poorly) to some supplements has to do with what your body is not making enough of or over-manufacturing. ~jillery"

11/25/2013: Mr. Ree from Usa: "Google niacin and bi-polar/schizophrenia..It cures bi polar problems 100% of the time...Can't rememeber the name of the doctor, but there is one that treated people for many years. He's also on the site.."

02/15/2009: Shirley from Memphis, TN: "Feedback to Robert from Naples, FL/01.20.2008 Look at www.knowthecause.com for fungus information. Dr. Doug has a wealth of info regarding this problem that causes disease."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  01/02/2011: Jay from Dayton, Ohio: "I wanted to give feedback about the oregano of oil. It works great for toe nail fungus. I started applying the wild oregano of oil to my toe nails after 5 days it was half cured. I have been using the oil for about 5 months and my toe nails are almost 99.9% cured. It is great to have nice toe nails again. I can wear open toe shoes again. I used the oil at the beginning twice daily straight from the bottle and I applied or rubbed the oil with a cotton tip. I suffered from this condition(white patches) for about 10 yrs! Thank you for the previous posting."

[YEA]  03/18/2011: Dihanna from Chicago, Il, Usa: "I have been using wild oil of oregano for my gum issues, but I am writing regarding my feet, lol. I had been struggling with one toe's skin split between the toes, washing and hydrogen peroxiding it. Didn't seem to help though. After a couple days that toe began itching in that area and on the front of the toe too. After scratching all day, I didn't feel like going to the store and looking for an OTC product. I had the wild oil of oregano there and wondered what would happen if I put a couple of drops on the split and itching area. I rubbed it in and waited. After a while the severe itching stopped, but tried to come back. I refrained from scratching and the desire to scratch subsided more and more. Next day the itching is gone. The split area seems to be healing too. Feels normal again. So if this ever happens to you, give it a shot. I am glad I did!"

11/25/2013: Pinkkid from Forney, Tx: "Are the oil of oragano pills just as good? I bought the gel caps."

11/25/2013: Prioris from Fl: "For each gel capsule, usually they put one drop of oregano oil in some other oil."

11/25/2013: Jillery from Nc: "I used TrueHope to wean myself off my psych meds about 8 years ago. I did pretty well without meds but I also stopped taking supplements (bad! ).

05/06/2011: Andrea C from Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales: "Exsuse me school marm!! This is a natural health site, not a spelling class! People come here in desperation and agony and English is not every 1'st first language!! Also the chronic pain we're in makes it impossible to type let alone SPELL properly. I suggest you get yourself enrolled in a class for compassion, empathy, and good manners! You Madam if you don't like it, go elsewhere!! How dare you come to this site and kick those who are desprately sick and dying, babies, whole families, people give their help freely and with love and understanding that we're all suffering!! I'd also demand a refund from the school of etiquette, none of which you have, and issue an apology to the thousands of people your stupidity, has probably upset to the point they're now afraid to post here for help any more!! How about leaving your E-mail address so they can show you how hurt and upset they are? YOUR CARELESS IDIOCY MAY HAVE COST SOMEONE'S LIFE!! These are fragile souls we're dealing with here, and if you had 1 in the first place, you would never had made such an insulting, hurtfull remark in the first place!! I suggest you start your own website and call it wheres my brain.com? I could give you a few suggestions, but unlike you I consider the impact of lowering myself to Your level of density would have on these wonderful souls!! Andrea C"

05/06/2011: Michelle from Cambridge, Cambs / Uk: "I agree. To Andrea, we are so lucky to have this site, and to be able to help each other. We are not posting to have our grammar corrected! So why not join us in our learning. process."

05/06/2011: Whichann from San Bruno, California: "Please, happygal, do something about your manners!"

05/07/2011: Beingfesticious from Campinas, Brasil: "By the way, voila is spelled "voilà". Just saying... because apparently this sort of thing is very important to you.

But seriously, keep sending your feedback (that was a good one you sent, actually). That's the true purpose of this site, and not learning english grammar (most people in this planet don't even have english as a first language anyway, like myself).

(forgive me for not letting that go, I just couldn't help it)"

05/08/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France: "I missed this post but I add my voice to all those who were outraged! English is my third language, I do try my best but I don't always succeed, something I have learned to live with and to be honest.... As I speak 7 I already think that I do a great job, as I think most people do here! As a former journalist I am very sensitive to the written word but I have never had complaints about the way people write on this site. And... Keep in mind that some mistakes are due to poor typing as well, as in my case, as I type very fast I sometimes to press the wrong key and often I don't have the time to proof read what I write. One thing, is the spel checker still working? I say this because it always tells me that I wrote no mistakes which I find a bit unusual. My English is quite good... not perfect...."

05/08/2011: Elly from Topeka, Kansas: "People ought to respect the site and do their best to use good grammar and punctuation but since English isn't everyone's first language and many people are limited on time, we shouldn't be anal about it either. A suggestion I have is for the site moderator to remove controversy stirring portions of posts so we don't have a lot of outraged posts to follow. Lets keep this site positive and focused on folk remedies. I came here because many other sites got weighed down in sideline drama and chitchat. Is it also possible for those who join this site to be able to have a profile here that allows us to accept friendship requests from other members here and then be able to send private messages to our accepted friends (for remedy chitchat)?"

05/08/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia: "I think it is great that all nationalities/ages can use this site for relief from their ailments. Who cares if their grammar is not correct. Many people are too sick to worry about grammar. Says a lot about the people/person complaining."

05/09/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France: "Having a profile seems a good idea to me. Even if you don't want to contact someone or have friends (I don't like that part because I lead quite a busy life so not having someone as a friend doesn't mean I don't value that person but might be seen as such, still I am always open to someone contacting me privately something I have done on some occasions). I think that it is nice to know the person's age, for example, as that explains some things, or to check whether we could be having the same, age related problem. Sometimes people mention their age, sometimes they don't. One thing I also like is people using their own names. This is not a controversial site, I think and anyway, who is going to know which Mary or John you are? I use my own name, anyway, I don't feel the need to hide behind some name I made up but I know this is an Internet fashion. Als maybe nice to know a little bit about the person but I understand many people wouldn't like it.

As far as censoring posts, I don't know. I feel people say what is in their minds, they don't mean to be nasty, but it is quite difficult to know what will go well with other people and what not. The person who commented on the grammar was being honest about what he or she felt and we were correct as well to react and say how we feel. I don't really believe in censorship other than when people are being abusive, here only to sell products... Although I don't mind someone introducing a product they believe in. By the way, the spell check is not working!"

05/09/2011: Andrea C from Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales: "Thanks Ellie x x x I just felt hurt for everyone that came here for help hun x Like I said I don't want to add to anyone's suffering, but I felt "correct your grammor?" may have upset people who live with chronic illnesses, or EC to be thier only hope forward's may have been very upset by such an insensitive remark, and made them afraid to seek the help they so urgently need. I didn't post it to start a thread war, I just did it on behalf of those who were hurt but may not have been able to exspress such a careless statement had put upset or fear into them sweet heart X I'm sure if it hadn't been me, it may have been someone else that would have bought up this issue, and now it's out in the open at least it gave people the courage to speak up, just the same as you have hun X God bless you Ellie, LOVE Andrea C X X X"

08/03/2013: Dirtyduck from Havasu: "Andrea C, bravo. I have never posted anything here before, but I just had to let you know how beautiful that paragraph is that you wrote. Thank you. I want to be friends with you!"

11/25/2013: Pinkkid from Forney, Tx: "I can't wait to try this, I got Mono last Aug and my swollen lymph nodes have still not gone down. Hope this works..... and BTW If the person doesn't like that someone can't spell....click off here....don't be rude about it.....

Have a great Thanksgiving, Everyone!"

11/24/2013: Barkkha from Dubai: "I have big bags under my eyes more prominent in mornings have tried all home remedies and expensive creams everything but no success I am 51 yrs female. Can some one suggest some workable remedy?"

[WARNING!]  02/08/2012: Gardner123 from Cincinnati, Ohio: "The person who says they use a 50/50 solution of peroxide to saline has to be joking! The first time time I tried the wash I used 2 tablespoons of peroxide to 1 packet of saline and 8 oz. Lukewarm water for my netti pot squeeze bottle (much easier than the netti pot). The first blast drove me to my knees it burned so bad. My nose foamed and I swear it felt like the foam came out my eyes and ears too. I know it didn't, but it sure felt like it did. As soon as I could breathe again and stand, I rinsed with plain, cool water. For an hour after that attempt, I could feel the uncomfortable bubbling sensation in the roots of my jaw teeth.

There is some validity to the treatment however. I now use 1 teaspoon with the saline solution. I was on antibiotics for a year, had my 2nd sinus surgery last year, and continued with aantibiotics for an ongoing sinus infection for another 7 months. I gave up on the antibiotics for the peroxide wash and have not had a sinus infection for 4 months now."

[YEA]  04/19/2012: Chucktruck from Montgomery City, Missouri, Usa: "Wimps, all of you. I snort the straight 3% right up my nose and into my sinuses. Yes it burns, therefore I do not recomend it unless you have a rather high tolerance for pain. Just try to limit the quantity so you do not swallow it when it comes down the back side. Enjoy!! Chucktruck"

[YEA]  08/09/2012: Bradford from San Francisco, Ca: "Holy C**P , this really works. I did antibiotics two weeks ago and nothing moved. I had presure and pain, unable to taste anything and dizzy everyday. I was going crazy waiting for another Dr. Office visit and saw this water salt and little bit of Hydrogen peroxide mix, tried it and suddenly I had drainage for the first time. Never so much so fast. It kills but it works."

10/25/2012: Shamil from Ocean City, Nj/usa: "Every year in the past fall season, I would get a cold/sinus infection that took me to my MD, who then put me on a course of antibiotics. About four years ago I began the sinus rinse (sea salt warm water) at the first sign of infection. This helped greatly. About two yrs. ago I started adding h2o2, and have not needed an MD or antibiotic since. When started early enough, only a small amt. of h2o2 added to the rinse solution works for me."

10/25/2012: Paul123 from Burns Harbor, Indiana: "About how many drops ?"

[YEA]  06/15/2013: Chipaholic from Brandon, Manitoba: "After 3days of antibiotics and no results I was on the floor in pain, I tried this and I am not in pain anymore! Yah! I thought my weekend was ruined."

11/25/2013: Jimmy O. from New York, Ny: "I can't stop laughing after reading Chucktruck's response here. As I read through all the entries here I thought that maybe I was overdoing it a bit. LOL I too use straight 3% HP up both nostrils and in both ears. It sure can hurt, so it's not for the faint of heart. I know it's working if I think my eyeball will explode. LOL Straight HP is strong medicine, but if you can bear it, it does work. Don't forget the ears too!"

05/07/2008: Phyllis from Kansas City, MO: "Can you tell me what is "oil pulling"? Have never heard the term but my friend is desperate to try anything for thrush. Thanks."

EC: More information about Oil Pulling: http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/oil_pulling.html

11/12/2010: Lara from Philadelphia, Pa: "What is the best oil to use for treating thrush??"

01/29/2011: Huepuchica from Houston, Tx: "I read on e-how that oil pulling with coconut oil is recommended for 20 minutes and then spitting it out, but no rinse. Forgot how long, maybe week. FYI, oil pulling is swishing oil in your mouth for 5 or more minutes and then spitting it out."

11/25/2013: Ava from Boston, Ma: "Oil Pulling CAUSED me to get thrush - totally dried out my mouth! Be very careful! Maybe start pulling only like 5 mins at a time to see of it works for you."

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Mireya,

I am assuming you are taking the 1/4 teaspoon in 1 liter of water? I would try cutting way back on the amount you take and try to build up to that. Try 1/16th teaspoon a day or even every other day. If you can do 1/16th teasoon daily for a week with no side effects, move up to 1/8th teaspoon a day... etc.

Do you normally have blood pressure trouble? If so, you might look into some of the cures here for that...apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper to name a couple.

Take care and let us know how it goes.

~Mama to Many~"

11/25/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Mireya: since Borax is a sodium salt (sodium tetraborate), that would explain the rise in BP. Since this isn't a common occurrence it proly means you are deficient in Potassium. I would take 2 90mg Potassium daily in this case."

11/24/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mireya: Ryk Neethling, a world record holder in swimming, takes frozen liquid afa from Lake Klamath. The blue green micro algae eats 10, 000 tons of pollution free silt deposited every year from a volcano that erupted. This contains highly charged ormus minerals. This is the fresh water cousin to marine phytoplankton. You can get 6 bottles shipped for $168. To strengthen the immune system take a variety of beta-glucans from properly prepared mushroom extracts. To improve digestion make home made water kefir. For carbs take activated barley and raw wildflower honey. For protein take raw whey isolate. For fats take coconut oil and black chia seeds. Raw food has enzymes, organic and grassfed foods contain humic acids that activate nutrients and xeronines that activate proteins, and live ferments have beneficial microbes."

11/25/2013: Prioris from Fl: "Borax also needs enough magnesium in the body to work, according to Ted."

11/24/2013: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "Oscar,

So sorry to hear that you will no longer be our #1 advocate for BHT. You have helped so many people here who were facing sometimes rather dismal futures and have given hope and healing where only decline seemed to be approaching. Thank you so much for your wonderful protocol and the sincere effort you have made to reach those in need. You will be missed, but we hope you will still drop in when you can. Take care and best wishes always."

11/25/2013: Rob from Manhattan: "I 2nd the above...thanks Oscar for your valuable info!!!"

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Mireya,

11/23/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Denise: Raw cocoa powder has a lot of magnesium and has been fermented, improving absorption. Organic buckwheat flour is high in magnesium. Fermenting this with water kefir grains improves digestion. I take both. Minerals play together in concert. Please try to get minerals from whole foods because the cofactors and micronutrients enhance effectiveness. Thank you."

11/23/2013: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Denise, why not try soaking in a bath with magnesium chloride and/or magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salts)? The magnesium is then absorbed transdermally."

11/25/2013: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "My friend uses Magnesium Lotion instead of Oil for the same reason as yours. Its more comfortable to use, it does not burn.

Have you tried taking Mg Glycinate capsules as well ? These ones does not have the unwanted gastric side effects of the more common Mg Oxide."

04/29/2013: Ryan from Bloomington, Il: "Stop eating wheat and artificial sweeteners. I lived with brain fog for several years and have cut out both and feel like a new person."

08/08/2013: S Cornwell from Nyc: "I actually was going to respond with the same comment. I was battling brain fog for years and changed every aspect of my life. The biggest change came from cutting out wheat and moving to a low carb low sugar diet."

10/31/2013: Watercure2 from Ne Pa.: "1/4 tsp of sea salt in a glass of water stops brain fog. I take it with every glass of water before every meal and between meals & before bed & never got it again."

11/03/2013: Rob from Manhattan: "added to the suggestions above...except for the salt?...Try taking a good quality Co Q10 softgel, or better Ubiquinol (more absorbable CO Q10).

2. Take it with a Krill oil supplement before going to bed. Krill may have more brain protective qualities than omega 3 alone & help boost mood.

3. Add Turmeric to your diet...or take as supplement.

4. Occasion take a Alpha Lipoic Acid..make sure it has Biotin in the formula.

5. Eat a simple vegetable, berries, nuts, wild salmon, (paleo, or anti inflammatory diet)

These five should help and all have brain protective qualities."

11/04/2013: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "Brain Fog is a slow process. I felt the same. So I was searching for answers like you have. I feel better after experimenting and searching thru the years.. I can now memorize numbers again, credit cards, Drivers license, car plates, etc. or movies that I have watched many years back, and so much more.. or where did I place or put down my eyeglasses or keys, etc...

1) I found Magnesium L Threonate.. this one takes time to work but it will restore long term memory accurately. (Google it)

2) Gingko Bilova opens up the blood vessels for better blood and oxygen circulation to the brain.

3) Vit B complex 100 mg of the 8 B vitamins to prevent shrinkage and or restore shrinking brain that could lead to Alzheimers disease.

4) Vit D3 ( need to get bood levels checked)

5) Vit C 2000mg and higher

6) Huperzine A helped restore short term memory

7) Selenium helps with functioning of the Thyroid

8) Zinc also with functioning of the Thyroid

9) Make sure your Ferritin or Iron level is NL- up in the 70's and higher. Also have your Thyroid levels checked . TSH, Free T3 and free T4

Yes, I take all these daily and more.. The brain is very important for our health and longevity. We can take charge of our own health and not accept that forgetfulness or going to Dementia is part of normal aging as even some Doctors would say.. It can be helped. It does cost money, but what is money without health.. I get all my supplements on line. "

11/24/2013: Rob from Manhattan: "Toourlady, thanks for these suggestions... I am trying the Magnesium Threonate as per your suggestion... so far I haven't noticed a memory increase... but it does give a strong noticeably mental relaxing effect. I have ordered the Huperzin and will report back... also am trying Vinpocetine... many report taking it with the Huperzin."

11/25/2013: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "To Rob from Manhattan: Mg L threonate took me about 4-5 months before I really felt the memory results. I also used Gingko a few weeks before that. Many other good effects from Mg L Threonate to my family, like you said, its relaxing, it helps to get sound and rested sleep, it also could stop teeth grinding, snoring (eventually) stops tics, shaking of extremities, anxiety, and depression, fear of the unknown, helps heal allergies that has developed from substances you were not allergic to previously and then so much more..

I added other supplements on the list one at a time after I felt some results from the new ones ..Except these: you need Vit D3 2000 IU to push Mg into the right cells in the body and the brain, then Vit C around 2000mg a day.. Vit B 100 complex according to studies will protect the brain from shrinking ( commonly found in Alzheimer's)

It takes Mg a long time to be replenished in the body. To speed it up, I used Mg Oil spray as well. Pls. Google. It would also help to google Mg deficiency both on line and on You tube.

Take note that if you are on any antacids, this could affect the absorption of Vitamins, Iron and supplements. Also of absorption of B12 from food."

11/29/2013: Fuji from Florida: "Re: Brain Fog

This really helps for me...I have an autoimmune illness and migraines. The med I take for migraines is famous for causing brain fog and my other health problems certainly don't help either. I take a multi vitamin, a B Complex and D3. These are the basics. But what helps a lOT in conjunction with that is a supplement called Phosphatidylserine or PS-100. Anyway, the Phosphatidylserine plus my vitamins helped A LOT. Also of help was getting in some exercise (even a little), going to bed 1/2 hour earlier than before, eliminating soda, eating healthfully in general, reducing the intake of sugar, bread and wheat, (eating some fresh fruit is fine) and drinking lots of good quality water. These things should really help with brain fog!"

08/06/2011: Mike from Montreal, Quebec Canada: "Andrea: NATURAL FACTORS BETAINE HCL HAS NO PEPSIN AND WORKS QUITE WELL FOR ME. THIS PARTICULAR BRAND HAS FENUGREK ADDED TO IT INSTEAD OF PEPSIN. Hope it works for you as well. Mike"

08/09/2011: Andrea from Kiel, Wi/usa: "Thanks, Mike, for your recommendation, however, I contacted Natural Factors and the Betaine HCl with Fenugreek gelatin capsule does contain pork. So glad I double-checked."

08/09/2011: Mike from Montreal, Quebec: "Lets face it Andrea you will never be able to avoid pork in your whole lifetime since how many other food products do not list pork as one of their ingredient ? If the reason for avoiding pork is religious then you have to weigh religious belief against your own vital personal health. Mike"

08/11/2011: Alicia from Berkeley, Ca: "Premier Research labs has a premier HCL that is Beet Derived hydrochloric acid and a vegetable capsule. AND there are plenty of supplements that you can take and STILL avoid pork. Look for V-caps or vergetable capsules or supplements made for vegetarians or vegans."

10/23/2011: Tarahvale from Daniels, Wv: "Actually, Pharmax brand betaine HCL does not contain pepsin and is a vegetarian capsule. My son cannot take pepsin does better with vegetarian capsules."

11/24/2013: Minah from Maryland: "Hi Andrea, I just being diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus, could you tell me about you mixture of slippery elm, DGL and HCL?"

11/24/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Make a Comfrey Poultice and apply on the wound. Comfrey is the powerful herb that promotes rapid cell growth. Good Health"

11/24/2013: Rob from Manhattan: "Make sure your taking Turmeric, manuka honey, also taking Zinc. These are just some suggestions.I am sure others will follow."

11/24/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Check out cayenne pepper under Remedies on this site. You can dump the cayenne pepper in the wound. Eat lots of garlic as well."

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear She from Virginia,

I am so sorry this wound is giving you such trouble. The following things should help.

Activated Charcoal Poultices have helped many with similar problems. On Earch Clinic's Activated Charcoal page, in the index, you will find "How to Make a Charcoal Poultice." You will want to make it larger than the wound by at least two or three inches on all sides. During the day you should change the poultice every 2-4 hours. You can leave the poultice on overnight.

If you go to this website http://www.charcoalremedies.com and search for "wounds" You will find stories of charcoal being used this way.

Internally, you should take 1 teaspoon of turmeric (the spice) three times a day. This is 4 capsules or 1 teaspoon mixed into some milk. Turmeric is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and a blood purifier.

You should have as healthy a diet as you can, to keep your body working well to fight this infection. Avoid processed food and processed sugar.

If you can get a hold of some comfrey leaf or root to make a tea to drink, that would be good, too. Even 3 cups a day. Comfrey helps cells to regenerate faster.

Please keep us posted on your progress!

11/24/2013: Gavin from Northland, New Zealand: "It sounds a lot its formed into an ulcer. The sure fire way to heal it is to pack it with a good grade Manuka honey .Change the dressing every other day. When you see little red spots its called granulation, this is a sign that healing is underway.

The honey stops the bacteria but wont kill it, and it will feed the wound from the outside. So if you can stand it wash first with 25% apple cider vinegar. This will kill the bug, if the wound looks a little white after this its is called blanching which means the wound is clean. The whitness is the dead clean cells."

11/24/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello She,

Concerning your injury; You are correct...it is an infection. My favorite for bites and infections on the skin is Echinacea. This is the liquid form, not tablets. Put the Echinacea ... twenty drops... on a white paper towel and let sit as a poultice for thirty minutes. Repeat and leave for an hour. Repeat again and leave for an hour or even overnight, wrapped with plastic. Drink ten drops of the Echinacea in a glass of water. Repeat every two hours. That internal use will kill the infection if any has gotten in your system. You need three glass of the Echinacea (ten drops) taken orally for three days, spread thru the day. If topical applications make the infected site better, keep up topical apps, at least five a day, for the next three days. Don't be afraid to keep up topical use of Echinacea. I learned the miraculous power of Echinacea from a very old book written by a Texas doctor, written around 1905. He gave case after case of the healing power of Echinacea for cures relative to infections from bites of all kinds, especially pathogens from spiders and snakes. So; Echinacea is effective and I've found it so although thankfully have not tried it on snake bites!!!! Would probably be going too fast to the ER to find out if it worked on a snake bite.

If the infected "hole" is too large for the poultice, try Colloidal Silver. I've had a number of success stories with "deep wound" infections using CS. One case "poured" CS straight into the infected hole. It might sting. There are some "deep wound" clinics that are now using Silver (as a compound) as a coating on a piece of cloth and applied to the site. The result two days later is a much better healing than other agents.

Those two are what I'd try."

11/24/2013: Maya from Los Angeles: "My Son and I have both gotten a staph infection. I am diabetic, so the first time I did not know what it was and went to the emergency room where they made a hole and drained the infection, and I had a hole where I had to go in every morning before going to work and have it drained and cleaned, and the Doctor told me to soak in the bath tub every evening for at least 30 minutes with warm water and Epsom Salt. It took a while to heal, and it returned about a month later, so I got into this website and read all I could on infections and boils. This is what I did. I mix in a small bowl size of 1/4 cup. I put like 1/2 teaspoon of manuka honey, 2 capsules of activated charcoal, 2 capsules of turmeric or you can buy it in lose powder in health stores where spices are sold and put about 1/2 teaspoon, about 1/2 teaspoon of colloidal silver the highest ppm you can find (I use 500) about 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil. mix well and clean area good with peroxide and apply generously on wound and cover with gauze and keep covered clean and apply twice a day, and you will drain and clear up. I got it back twice and on second time I started to also crush a garlic clove with a tablespoon with organic coconut oil, and two capsules of Turmeric and let sit 10 minutes so garlic can activate and swallow and follow with water. Have never had it come back, so when my son got it from a student at school on basketball team which several boys got infected, I did my remedy and it work with out having to take him to the doctors, and he never has gotten it back. I had a friend that her daughter had gotten it several times told her my remedy she did not listen and after another 4 infections later she decided to try it and daughter has not have staph infection return. Try it works but also do the garlic remedy until you in prove. Hope this helps you to get better immediately."

11/24/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Don't take me wrong. Using cayenne pepper on open wound will make it worse. Cayenne is not an antibiotic. It has anti inflammatory property but only on the right doses, usually very minimal.

If you add cayenne it will burn the hell on open wound.

some people recommend cayenne for Hemmerhoids as well, what will happen is cayenne increases the blood flow that will cause the varicose vein under more pressure eventually to enlarge the veins. And the fecal matter which still has cayenne after the digestion in the large intestines when contacts the hemmerhoids will cause sever inflammation and unbearable pain.

Futhermore, if you use GMO cayenne (chilli) powder this multiply the effects.

I am a regular eater of chilli powder or cayenne. Cayenne is part of our cooking. In a week I will eat atleast 4 tsp of cayenne. But it is in the part of meal from morning to night, from curry to sambar to pickles. And there is a limit to it and a way to use it.

Good Health"

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear She from Virginia,

I wanted to pass a long a word of caution regarding comfrey. I had mentioned taking comfrey tea. Herbalist Philip Fritchey says that comfrey should not be used when dealing with deep wounds. I do not know if your wound is deep, so I thought I should let you know that. With deep wounds comfrey can cause the skin to heal too quickly over the wound and if there is any infection in it, you could get an abscess this way. He does not specify if this happens in using comfrey internally for deep wounds or externally. I just avoid comfrey with deep wounds.

No puss, no keloid. When I showered I left the wrapping on and just changed it after the shower, I didnt worry much about cleaning it because I knew the power of the honey!"

12/01/2013: She from Virginia, United States: "Thank everyone for their advice............I so appreciate it. Went to wound center and saw a wound specialist. He cleaned out wound and cleaned out the infection. Got put on an antibiotic and have to put an enzymatic wound cleaner in the wound and keep it wrapped up. As much as I don't want to take an antibiotic I'm scared not to. Don't know if I have MRSA or flesh eating bacteria. Culture wont be back for 1 week. Don't have fever, so that's a good sign. Will also be taking colloidial silver and turmeric along with antibiotic. I cant remember the last time I took an antibiotic. So Hopefully taking it now will help this hole in my leg heal!!

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Alissa,

I do not think you have done anything dangerous to your or your children or your unborn baby either. I have used most of those things in pregnancy and on my young children. Perhaps large amounts of any could be an issue, but you are not talking about large amounts or a long term use. I am not sure where you got the information about the danger of these things, but I do know that there are lots of warnings on many natural substances that say, "Not for use in pregnancy etc." because of liability issues and not because there is really any harm to them.

Obviously you should not continue using something you are not comfortable with, but please put your mind at ease about having used those things. Pharmaceutical treatment of parasites are much more dangerous than most natural remedies.

Enjoy your little ones and your one on the way!

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Mireya,

I am assuming you are taking the 1/4 teaspoon in 1 liter of water? I would try cutting way back on the amount you take and try to build up to that. Try 1/16th teaspoon a day or even every other day. If you can do 1/16th teasoon daily for a week with no side effects, move up to 1/8th teaspoon a day... etc.

Do you normally have blood pressure trouble? If so, you might look into some of the cures here for that...apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper to name a couple.

Take care and let us know how it goes.

11/25/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Mireya: since Borax is a sodium salt (sodium tetraborate), that would explain the rise in BP. Since this isn't a common occurrence it proly means you are deficient in Potassium. I would take 2 90mg Potassium daily in this case."

11/24/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mireya: Ryk Neethling, a world record holder in swimming, takes frozen liquid afa from Lake Klamath. The blue green micro algae eats 10, 000 tons of pollution free silt deposited every year from a volcano that erupted. This contains highly charged ormus minerals. This is the fresh water cousin to marine phytoplankton. You can get 6 bottles shipped for $168. To strengthen the immune system take a variety of beta-glucans from properly prepared mushroom extracts. To improve digestion make home made water kefir. For carbs take activated barley and raw wildflower honey. For protein take raw whey isolate. For fats take coconut oil and black chia seeds. Raw food has enzymes, organic and grassfed foods contain humic acids that activate nutrients and xeronines that activate proteins, and live ferments have beneficial microbes."

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Anna,

So sorry about your husband's troubles! I am wondering how long ago surgery was. The last time I had surgery ("routine laparoscopic surgery") I was surprised at how very bad I felt for a good two weeks. I had had similar surgery in the past and had seemed to bounce back more quickly. For me, I think it was partly a lingering effect of the anesthesia. It can take a while to leave your system and can just leave you feeling bad, low energy, dizzy, nauseated, etc. Hopefully, a little more time will help your husband a lot. Charcoal tablets can be taken internally daily for a time to help with this...4 per day, not within two hours of medication.

Comfrey and or Chickweed salve used externally are soothing and healing to hemorroid surgery.

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in 5 ounces of grape juice is spicy but a good "pick me up" drink. However, if food is moving through his system too quickly, the cayenne doesn't completely digest and can cause some burning for a short time on the other end.

I hope he feels better soon! Do let us know what you find helps his recovery.

The beets juice really well. Beetauria is a bit freaky, (when you pee its red) but you know that there is an excess and the whole body is getting a dose. It does no harm. If you have a "google" there are some very positive reports with regards to cancer cures. Using these two remedies. Putting the apple seeds through a food processor or smashing them up in a mortsis and petzel, should be considered, as the seeds have a potent anti cancer compound, in them as well."

11/24/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello Venky,

Concerning your grandmother's leukemia, if you google "leukemia viral causes, or leukemia virus" you'll find in many leukemias a virus is behind it.

To kill viruses I use Colloidal Silver. If I had leukemia, I'd take three tablespoons of CS three times a day for a month and see how the numbers were looking. If better after a month, I'd keep up the CS."

I am so sorry this wound is giving you such trouble. The following things should help.

Activated Charcoal Poultices have helped many with similar problems. On Earch Clinic's Activated Charcoal page, in the index, you will find "How to Make a Charcoal Poultice." You will want to make it larger than the wound by at least two or three inches on all sides. During the day you should change the poultice every 2-4 hours. You can leave the poultice on overnight.

If you go to this website http://www.charcoalremedies.com and search for "wounds" You will find stories of charcoal being used this way.

Internally, you should take 1 teaspoon of turmeric (the spice) three times a day. This is 4 capsules or 1 teaspoon mixed into some milk. Turmeric is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and a blood purifier.

You should have as healthy a diet as you can, to keep your body working well to fight this infection. Avoid processed food and processed sugar.

If you can get a hold of some comfrey leaf or root to make a tea to drink, that would be good, too. Even 3 cups a day. Comfrey helps cells to regenerate faster.

Please keep us posted on your progress!

11/24/2013: Gavin from Northland, New Zealand: "It sounds a lot its formed into an ulcer. The sure fire way to heal it is to pack it with a good grade Manuka honey .Change the dressing every other day. When you see little red spots its called granulation, this is a sign that healing is underway.

The honey stops the bacteria but wont kill it, and it will feed the wound from the outside. So if you can stand it wash first with 25% apple cider vinegar. This will kill the bug, if the wound looks a little white after this its is called blanching which means the wound is clean. The whitness is the dead clean cells."

11/24/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello She,

Concerning your injury; You are correct...it is an infection. My favorite for bites and infections on the skin is Echinacea. This is the liquid form, not tablets. Put the Echinacea ... twenty drops... on a white paper towel and let sit as a poultice for thirty minutes. Repeat and leave for an hour. Repeat again and leave for an hour or even overnight, wrapped with plastic. Drink ten drops of the Echinacea in a glass of water. Repeat every two hours. That internal use will kill the infection if any has gotten in your system. You need three glass of the Echinacea (ten drops) taken orally for three days, spread thru the day. If topical applications make the infected site better, keep up topical apps, at least five a day, for the next three days. Don't be afraid to keep up topical use of Echinacea. I learned the miraculous power of Echinacea from a very old book written by a Texas doctor, written around 1905. He gave case after case of the healing power of Echinacea for cures relative to infections from bites of all kinds, especially pathogens from spiders and snakes. So; Echinacea is effective and I've found it so although thankfully have not tried it on snake bites!!!! Would probably be going too fast to the ER to find out if it worked on a snake bite.

If the infected "hole" is too large for the poultice, try Colloidal Silver. I've had a number of success stories with "deep wound" infections using CS. One case "poured" CS straight into the infected hole. It might sting. There are some "deep wound" clinics that are now using Silver (as a compound) as a coating on a piece of cloth and applied to the site. The result two days later is a much better healing than other agents.

Those two are what I'd try."

11/24/2013: Maya from Los Angeles: "My Son and I have both gotten a staph infection. I am diabetic, so the first time I did not know what it was and went to the emergency room where they made a hole and drained the infection, and I had a hole where I had to go in every morning before going to work and have it drained and cleaned, and the Doctor told me to soak in the bath tub every evening for at least 30 minutes with warm water and Epsom Salt. It took a while to heal, and it returned about a month later, so I got into this website and read all I could on infections and boils. This is what I did. I mix in a small bowl size of 1/4 cup. I put like 1/2 teaspoon of manuka honey, 2 capsules of activated charcoal, 2 capsules of turmeric or you can buy it in lose powder in health stores where spices are sold and put about 1/2 teaspoon, about 1/2 teaspoon of colloidal silver the highest ppm you can find (I use 500) about 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil. mix well and clean area good with peroxide and apply generously on wound and cover with gauze and keep covered clean and apply twice a day, and you will drain and clear up. I got it back twice and on second time I started to also crush a garlic clove with a tablespoon with organic coconut oil, and two capsules of Turmeric and let sit 10 minutes so garlic can activate and swallow and follow with water. Have never had it come back, so when my son got it from a student at school on basketball team which several boys got infected, I did my remedy and it work with out having to take him to the doctors, and he never has gotten it back. I had a friend that her daughter had gotten it several times told her my remedy she did not listen and after another 4 infections later she decided to try it and daughter has not have staph infection return. Try it works but also do the garlic remedy until you in prove. Hope this helps you to get better immediately."

11/24/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Don't take me wrong. Using cayenne pepper on open wound will make it worse. Cayenne is not an antibiotic. It has anti inflammatory property but only on the right doses, usually very minimal.

If you add cayenne it will burn the hell on open wound.

some people recommend cayenne for Hemmerhoids as well, what will happen is cayenne increases the blood flow that will cause the varicose vein under more pressure eventually to enlarge the veins. And the fecal matter which still has cayenne after the digestion in the large intestines when contacts the hemmerhoids will cause sever inflammation and unbearable pain.

Futhermore, if you use GMO cayenne (chilli) powder this multiply the effects.

I am a regular eater of chilli powder or cayenne. Cayenne is part of our cooking. In a week I will eat atleast 4 tsp of cayenne. But it is in the part of meal from morning to night, from curry to sambar to pickles. And there is a limit to it and a way to use it.

Good Health"

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear She from Virginia,

I wanted to pass a long a word of caution regarding comfrey. I had mentioned taking comfrey tea. Herbalist Philip Fritchey says that comfrey should not be used when dealing with deep wounds. I do not know if your wound is deep, so I thought I should let you know that. With deep wounds comfrey can cause the skin to heal too quickly over the wound and if there is any infection in it, you could get an abscess this way. He does not specify if this happens in using comfrey internally for deep wounds or externally. I just avoid comfrey with deep wounds.

A man named Kuba cut his Hepatitis B viral load count down to less than 10% of what it had been in 25 days. Here is what Kuba has to say about this:

Kuba here:

Age: 30
Illness: HepB
Infected since: 1983 (since birth)
BHT started: 03.01.2013
VL test: 14.01.2013 - 1530 ui/ml
VL test: 25.03.2013 - 139 ui/ml
test method real-time PCR

Protocol log:
03.01-10.01 1x350mg BHT bedtime
11.01-11.02 1x350mg BHT in the morning, 1x350mg BHT bedtime
12.02-12.03 cut the dose to 1x350mg BHT at bedtime due to independent severe food poisoning that took almost 4 weeks to ged rid of.
13.03-now got back to 1x350mg BHT in the morning, 1x350mg BHT bedtime

Every other day I take (at least 2 hours away from BHT): vit D3 5000ui, multivitamin iton free, B12, 200mcg selenium (yeast form, non organic forms are bad 4 U)

I could do better with hydrating my body and with workouts.

I do my best to keep the protocol simple as possible. - Kuba

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the people have been using the BHT treatment for hepatitis C. But this treatment seems to work very well for hepatitis B also.

Here is the treatment as refined over the last two years:

• 100mg to 350mg of BHT taken with water on an empty stomach once or twice a day. The dosage varies for each person. Weight is an important factor in determining dosage. Fat content of a person`s body is another. Generally the more you weigh and the higher the fat content of your body the more BHT you need to effectively treat a viral infection. Many average size men have done very well with 250mg of BHT taken twice a day. If adverse side effects occur and persist, LOWER the dosage of BHT used. That is the treatment.
  
  Supplements that have been shown to work well with the BHT treatment are:
  
  1. A regular type multi-vitamin and mineral pill once a day.
  2. A regular type vitamin B complex pill.once a day.
  3. Vitamin B12 in a dosage of 1mg [ milligrams ] per day. 1mg is the same as 1, 000mcg { micrograms ].
  4. Vitamin C in a daily dosage of between 500mg and 1, 000mg per day.
  5. The lipid monolaurin. Unsure about dosage.
  6. Sodium selenite in a daily dosage of 50mcg [ micrograms ].
  
  Also, and importantly: Continue taking any doctor prescribed medicines or drugs. Very many of the people who have had dramatic improvement with this BHT treatment are taking a doctor prescribed medicine of one type or another.
  
  SUPPLEMENTS TO AVOID. Do not take:
  
  1. Milk Thistle and it`s extracts. Degrades the treatment to the point that it no longer works.
  2. Grapefruit juice. Degrades the treatment to the point it no longer works.
  3. Colloidal silver
  4. Hydrogen peroxide taken internally. Hydrogen peroxide is a REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES. It will make the BHT treatment NOT work.
  5. MMS [ Miracle Mineral Supplement ]. MMS is chlorine bleach, a very powerful oxidizer that will react with BHT in such a way as to make the treatment not work.
  6. Vitamin E supplements. Yes you NEED some vitamin E. But a normal diet provides plenty. Vitamin E supplements have been shown to enhance lipid coated viruses ability to replicate and should be avoided for that reason.
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  For best result stick with those supplements I listed that have been shown to work well with the BHT treatment. Vitamin B12 is an especially good one.
  That is the treatment that works consistently well based on the substantial feedback available....Oscar

Please review Kuba`s treatment plan for hepatitis B. Also, Kuba is a pretty healthy man. In my opinion for people who are pretty sick and or thin I recommend taking NO more than 250mg of BHT per day for the first week and see how you feel with that dosage before considering taking a larger dosage of BHT. You have to find a dosage YOU are comfortable with....Oscar"

11/24/2013: Wayseeker from Motown, California: "Dear Oscar,

So glad you are still here helping others to help themselves!

I feel as if we were just spit out of "the belly of the beast" like Jonah & the whale. The whale being the VA. Apparently Marvin is being declined a new liver based on the fact he used BHT and his hepatitis is almost in normal range. They are sending me the current scores, but are taking way too long to do it. We just returned from meeting the surgery team, and the head surgeon said the most interesting thing to me: He said, "God home and finish getting rid of the hepatitis C, because it will be a lot easier to do it now, than it would be after the surgery." He said this to us three times. I literally couldn't believe my ears! He was Chinese, and didn't have enough grasp of the English language to be cagey, nor apparently, to understand that in America we don't actually want to heal people -- we want the money!

The awful part is, that they saw his healing this aspect (the Hep-C) of his end-stage cirrhosis as such a challenge to the two new drugs coming out or some such attitude, that they are claiming I wouldn't be able to follow directions and didn't have the mental capacity to administer his medications properly, and so would "waste a liver."

So-- Marvin now (may I add, at long last, FINALLY), now have no other alternative but to go alternative! This just made for a shocking and rough drop on our heads from a steep cliff, but I am frankly relieved. They wanted Marvin to get even sicker than he is first-- eeking out every possible pain for a penny more. That being, he had to also get cancer first, which he still does not have! Then, after that, treat it with chemo, and THEN, AND THEN, AND THEN.

The poor man is on toxic overload, but we will seek a real, heroic, true doctor's second opinion next. My question is, when in such desperate straits as End-Stage, what do you think of doing Berkson Therapy and BHT? Marvin desperately needs someone to come alongside him, a docotr interested in helping him heal his own liver, and I am not a doctor so cannot of course give any medical advice whatsoever. Neither can you, so, just asking as a friend, what would you do? Only a doctor can re-evaluate the liver-toxic soup he is on, and try healthy alternatives that heal.

I must tread a little carefully here, but the hour is come and something must be done to reverse the liver--toxic compounds given to him daily to allow the liver to regenerate itself, let the BHT do it's job-- and let the man try to heal. The far-advanced cirrhosis itself, must be healed, now that he has almost no Hep-C.. I am saddened that we wasted so much precious time going down this merry road, with no effort made to actually heal Marvin, only to weaken him further and further.

The bright spot here, however, is that we are finally on the same page, and it has been decided for us, so now we only have a healthy choice as a viable alternative! For this, I AM GRATEFUL.

Love to you, my friend, Oliver -- Wayseeker."

10/31/2013: Watercure2 from Ne Pa.: "1/4 tsp of sea salt in a glass of water stops brain fog. I take it with every glass of water before every meal and between meals & before bed & never got it again."

11/03/2013: Rob from Manhattan: "added to the suggestions above...except for the salt?...Try taking a good quality Co Q10 softgel, or better Ubiquinol (more absorbable CO Q10).

2. Take it with a Krill oil supplement before going to bed. Krill may have more brain protective qualities than omega 3 alone & help boost mood.

3. Add Turmeric to your diet...or take as supplement.

4. Occasion take a Alpha Lipoic Acid..make sure it has Biotin in the formula.

5. Eat a simple vegetable, berries, nuts, wild salmon, (paleo, or anti inflammatory diet)

These five should help and all have brain protective qualities."

11/04/2013: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "Brain Fog is a slow process. I felt the same. So I was searching for answers like you have. I feel better after experimenting and searching thru the years.. I can now memorize numbers again, credit cards, Drivers license, car plates, etc. or movies that I have watched many years back, and so much more.. or where did I place or put down my eyeglasses or keys, etc...

1) I found Magnesium L Threonate.. this one takes time to work but it will restore long term memory accurately. (Google it)

2) Gingko Bilova opens up the blood vessels for better blood and oxygen circulation to the brain.

3) Vit B complex 100 mg of the 8 B vitamins to prevent shrinkage and or restore shrinking brain that could lead to Alzheimers disease.

4) Vit D3 ( need to get bood levels checked)

5) Vit C 2000mg and higher

6) Huperzine A helped restore short term memory

7) Selenium helps with functioning of the Thyroid

8) Zinc also with functioning of the Thyroid

9) Make sure your Ferritin or Iron level is NL- up in the 70's and higher. Also have your Thyroid levels checked . TSH, Free T3 and free T4

Yes, I take all these daily and more.. The brain is very important for our health and longevity. We can take charge of our own health and not accept that forgetfulness or going to Dementia is part of normal aging as even some Doctors would say.. It can be helped. It does cost money, but what is money without health.. I get all my supplements on line. "

11/24/2013: Rob from Manhattan: "Toourlady, thanks for these suggestions... I am trying the Magnesium Threonate as per your suggestion... so far I haven't noticed a memory increase... but it does give a strong noticeably mental relaxing effect. I have ordered the Huperzin and will report back... also am trying Vinpocetine... many report taking it with the Huperzin."

11/25/2013: Toourlady89 from Hayward Ca: "To Rob from Manhattan: Mg L threonate took me about 4-5 months before I really felt the memory results. I also used Gingko a few weeks before that. Many other good effects from Mg L Threonate to my family, like you said, its relaxing, it helps to get sound and rested sleep, it also could stop teeth grinding, snoring (eventually) stops tics, shaking of extremities, anxiety, and depression, fear of the unknown, helps heal allergies that has developed from substances you were not allergic to previously and then so much more..

I added other supplements on the list one at a time after I felt some results from the new ones ..Except these: you need Vit D3 2000 IU to push Mg into the right cells in the body and the brain, then Vit C around 2000mg a day.. Vit B 100 complex according to studies will protect the brain from shrinking ( commonly found in Alzheimer's)

It takes Mg a long time to be replenished in the body. To speed it up, I used Mg Oil spray as well. Pls. Google. It would also help to google Mg deficiency both on line and on You tube.

Take note that if you are on any antacids, this could affect the absorption of Vitamins, Iron and supplements. Also of absorption of B12 from food."

11/29/2013: Fuji from Florida: "Re: Brain Fog

This really helps for me...I have an autoimmune illness and migraines. The med I take for migraines is famous for causing brain fog and my other health problems certainly don't help either. I take a multi vitamin, a B Complex and D3. These are the basics. But what helps a lOT in conjunction with that is a supplement called Phosphatidylserine or PS-100. Anyway, the Phosphatidylserine plus my vitamins helped A LOT. Also of help was getting in some exercise (even a little), going to bed 1/2 hour earlier than before, eliminating soda, eating healthfully in general, reducing the intake of sugar, bread and wheat, (eating some fresh fruit is fine) and drinking lots of good quality water. These things should really help with brain fog!"

11/24/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Check out cayenne pepper under Remedies on this site. You can dump the cayenne pepper in the wound. Eat lots of garlic as well."

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear She from Virginia,

I am so sorry this wound is giving you such trouble. The following things should help.

Activated Charcoal Poultices have helped many with similar problems. On Earch Clinic's Activated Charcoal page, in the index, you will find "How to Make a Charcoal Poultice." You will want to make it larger than the wound by at least two or three inches on all sides. During the day you should change the poultice every 2-4 hours. You can leave the poultice on overnight.

If you go to this website http://www.charcoalremedies.com and search for "wounds" You will find stories of charcoal being used this way.

Internally, you should take 1 teaspoon of turmeric (the spice) three times a day. This is 4 capsules or 1 teaspoon mixed into some milk. Turmeric is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and a blood purifier.

You should have as healthy a diet as you can, to keep your body working well to fight this infection. Avoid processed food and processed sugar.

If you can get a hold of some comfrey leaf or root to make a tea to drink, that would be good, too. Even 3 cups a day. Comfrey helps cells to regenerate faster.

Please keep us posted on your progress!

11/24/2013: Gavin from Northland, New Zealand: "It sounds a lot its formed into an ulcer. The sure fire way to heal it is to pack it with a good grade Manuka honey .Change the dressing every other day. When you see little red spots its called granulation, this is a sign that healing is underway.

The honey stops the bacteria but wont kill it, and it will feed the wound from the outside. So if you can stand it wash first with 25% apple cider vinegar. This will kill the bug, if the wound looks a little white after this its is called blanching which means the wound is clean. The whitness is the dead clean cells."

11/24/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello She,

Concerning your injury; You are correct...it is an infection. My favorite for bites and infections on the skin is Echinacea. This is the liquid form, not tablets. Put the Echinacea ... twenty drops... on a white paper towel and let sit as a poultice for thirty minutes. Repeat and leave for an hour. Repeat again and leave for an hour or even overnight, wrapped with plastic. Drink ten drops of the Echinacea in a glass of water. Repeat every two hours. That internal use will kill the infection if any has gotten in your system. You need three glass of the Echinacea (ten drops) taken orally for three days, spread thru the day. If topical applications make the infected site better, keep up topical apps, at least five a day, for the next three days. Don't be afraid to keep up topical use of Echinacea. I learned the miraculous power of Echinacea from a very old book written by a Texas doctor, written around 1905. He gave case after case of the healing power of Echinacea for cures relative to infections from bites of all kinds, especially pathogens from spiders and snakes. So; Echinacea is effective and I've found it so although thankfully have not tried it on snake bites!!!! Would probably be going too fast to the ER to find out if it worked on a snake bite.

If the infected "hole" is too large for the poultice, try Colloidal Silver. I've had a number of success stories with "deep wound" infections using CS. One case "poured" CS straight into the infected hole. It might sting. There are some "deep wound" clinics that are now using Silver (as a compound) as a coating on a piece of cloth and applied to the site. The result two days later is a much better healing than other agents.

Those two are what I'd try."

11/24/2013: Maya from Los Angeles: "My Son and I have both gotten a staph infection. I am diabetic, so the first time I did not know what it was and went to the emergency room where they made a hole and drained the infection, and I had a hole where I had to go in every morning before going to work and have it drained and cleaned, and the Doctor told me to soak in the bath tub every evening for at least 30 minutes with warm water and Epsom Salt. It took a while to heal, and it returned about a month later, so I got into this website and read all I could on infections and boils. This is what I did. I mix in a small bowl size of 1/4 cup. I put like 1/2 teaspoon of manuka honey, 2 capsules of activated charcoal, 2 capsules of turmeric or you can buy it in lose powder in health stores where spices are sold and put about 1/2 teaspoon, about 1/2 teaspoon of colloidal silver the highest ppm you can find (I use 500) about 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil. mix well and clean area good with peroxide and apply generously on wound and cover with gauze and keep covered clean and apply twice a day, and you will drain and clear up. I got it back twice and on second time I started to also crush a garlic clove with a tablespoon with organic coconut oil, and two capsules of Turmeric and let sit 10 minutes so garlic can activate and swallow and follow with water. Have never had it come back, so when my son got it from a student at school on basketball team which several boys got infected, I did my remedy and it work with out having to take him to the doctors, and he never has gotten it back. I had a friend that her daughter had gotten it several times told her my remedy she did not listen and after another 4 infections later she decided to try it and daughter has not have staph infection return. Try it works but also do the garlic remedy until you in prove. Hope this helps you to get better immediately."

11/24/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Don't take me wrong. Using cayenne pepper on open wound will make it worse. Cayenne is not an antibiotic. It has anti inflammatory property but only on the right doses, usually very minimal.

If you add cayenne it will burn the hell on open wound.

some people recommend cayenne for Hemmerhoids as well, what will happen is cayenne increases the blood flow that will cause the varicose vein under more pressure eventually to enlarge the veins. And the fecal matter which still has cayenne after the digestion in the large intestines when contacts the hemmerhoids will cause sever inflammation and unbearable pain.

Futhermore, if you use GMO cayenne (chilli) powder this multiply the effects.

I am a regular eater of chilli powder or cayenne. Cayenne is part of our cooking. In a week I will eat atleast 4 tsp of cayenne. But it is in the part of meal from morning to night, from curry to sambar to pickles. And there is a limit to it and a way to use it.

I do not know if your wound is deep, so I thought I should let you know that.

Goat milk doesn't aggravate it so I have learned to love it! I also take omega 3 fish oil, Vitamin D and Vitamin E daily."

11/24/2013: Judy from Calgary Alberta Canada: "Hi Aya: Try covering your scalp in castor oil. Leave it on for a full day. You may want to put a shower cap on to keep it from mucking anything else up. Wash the oil out and then use a vinigar rinse. 10% vinigar to water should be good. any vinigar will do but apple cider vinigar is best.

The concept is that salp problems are most often caused by a fungus. The castor oil smothers the fungus the vinigar rinse helps to balance the skins ph. The ative ingredients in Nizoral kill the fungfus but perhaps not all of it. Try this and see if it helps. Also try getting a new pillow once you have, to avoid re-introducing the fungus. Some suppliments that help healthy tissue growth is vitamin C and D. It is now being recomended by the medical establishment that we take in 1000 to 4000IU of vitamin D a day. Espeially those who live in northern geographical areas or who constantly block out the suns rays with sunscreen, need higher doses.

Hope this helps.

11/24/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Make a Comfrey Poultice and apply on the wound. Comfrey is the powerful herb that promotes rapid cell growth. Good Health"

11/24/2013: Rob from Manhattan: "Make sure your taking Turmeric, manuka honey, also taking Zinc. These are just some suggestions.I am sure others will follow."

11/24/2013: Nanowriter from Hotspot, Texas: "Check out cayenne pepper under Remedies on this site. You can dump the cayenne pepper in the wound. Eat lots of garlic as well."

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear She from Virginia,

I am so sorry this wound is giving you such trouble. The following things should help.

Activated Charcoal Poultices have helped many with similar problems. On Earch Clinic's Activated Charcoal page, in the index, you will find "How to Make a Charcoal Poultice." You will want to make it larger than the wound by at least two or three inches on all sides. During the day you should change the poultice every 2-4 hours. You can leave the poultice on overnight.

If you go to this website http://www.charcoalremedies.com and search for "wounds" You will find stories of charcoal being used this way.

Internally, you should take 1 teaspoon of turmeric (the spice) three times a day. This is 4 capsules or 1 teaspoon mixed into some milk. Turmeric is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and a blood purifier.

You should have as healthy a diet as you can, to keep your body working well to fight this infection. Avoid processed food and processed sugar.

If you can get a hold of some comfrey leaf or root to make a tea to drink, that would be good, too. Even 3 cups a day. Comfrey helps cells to regenerate faster.

Please keep us posted on your progress!

11/24/2013: Gavin from Northland, New Zealand: "It sounds a lot its formed into an ulcer. The sure fire way to heal it is to pack it with a good grade Manuka honey .Change the dressing every other day. When you see little red spots its called granulation, this is a sign that healing is underway.

The honey stops the bacteria but wont kill it, and it will feed the wound from the outside. So if you can stand it wash first with 25% apple cider vinegar. This will kill the bug, if the wound looks a little white after this its is called blanching which means the wound is clean. The whitness is the dead clean cells."

11/24/2013: Dave from Fountain Inn, Sc: "Hello She,

Concerning your injury; You are correct...it is an infection. My favorite for bites and infections on the skin is Echinacea. This is the liquid form, not tablets. Put the Echinacea ... twenty drops... on a white paper towel and let sit as a poultice for thirty minutes. Repeat and leave for an hour. Repeat again and leave for an hour or even overnight, wrapped with plastic. Drink ten drops of the Echinacea in a glass of water. Repeat every two hours. That internal use will kill the infection if any has gotten in your system. You need three glass of the Echinacea (ten drops) taken orally for three days, spread thru the day. If topical applications make the infected site better, keep up topical apps, at least five a day, for the next three days. Don't be afraid to keep up topical use of Echinacea. I learned the miraculous power of Echinacea from a very old book written by a Texas doctor, written around 1905. He gave case after case of the healing power of Echinacea for cures relative to infections from bites of all kinds, especially pathogens from spiders and snakes. So; Echinacea is effective and I've found it so although thankfully have not tried it on snake bites!!!! Would probably be going too fast to the ER to find out if it worked on a snake bite.

If the infected "hole" is too large for the poultice, try Colloidal Silver. I've had a number of success stories with "deep wound" infections using CS. One case "poured" CS straight into the infected hole. It might sting. There are some "deep wound" clinics that are now using Silver (as a compound) as a coating on a piece of cloth and applied to the site. The result two days later is a much better healing than other agents.

Those two are what I'd try."

11/24/2013: Maya from Los Angeles: "My Son and I have both gotten a staph infection. I am diabetic, so the first time I did not know what it was and went to the emergency room where they made a hole and drained the infection, and I had a hole where I had to go in every morning before going to work and have it drained and cleaned, and the Doctor told me to soak in the bath tub every evening for at least 30 minutes with warm water and Epsom Salt. It took a while to heal, and it returned about a month later, so I got into this website and read all I could on infections and boils. This is what I did. I mix in a small bowl size of 1/4 cup. I put like 1/2 teaspoon of manuka honey, 2 capsules of activated charcoal, 2 capsules of turmeric or you can buy it in lose powder in health stores where spices are sold and put about 1/2 teaspoon, about 1/2 teaspoon of colloidal silver the highest ppm you can find (I use 500) about 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil. mix well and clean area good with peroxide and apply generously on wound and cover with gauze and keep covered clean and apply twice a day, and you will drain and clear up. I got it back twice and on second time I started to also crush a garlic clove with a tablespoon with organic coconut oil, and two capsules of Turmeric and let sit 10 minutes so garlic can activate and swallow and follow with water. Have never had it come back, so when my son got it from a student at school on basketball team which several boys got infected, I did my remedy and it work with out having to take him to the doctors, and he never has gotten it back. I had a friend that her daughter had gotten it several times told her my remedy she did not listen and after another 4 infections later she decided to try it and daughter has not have staph infection return. Try it works but also do the garlic remedy until you in prove. Hope this helps you to get better immediately."

11/24/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Don't take me wrong. Using cayenne pepper on open wound will make it worse. Cayenne is not an antibiotic. It has anti inflammatory property but only on the right doses, usually very minimal.

If you add cayenne it will burn the hell on open wound.

some people recommend cayenne for Hemmerhoids as well, what will happen is cayenne increases the blood flow that will cause the varicose vein under more pressure eventually to enlarge the veins. And the fecal matter which still has cayenne after the digestion in the large intestines when contacts the hemmerhoids will cause sever inflammation and unbearable pain.

Futhermore, if you use GMO cayenne (chilli) powder this multiply the effects.

I am a regular eater of chilli powder or cayenne. Cayenne is part of our cooking. In a week I will eat atleast 4 tsp of cayenne. But it is in the part of meal from morning to night, from curry to sambar to pickles. And there is a limit to it and a way to use it.

Good Health"

11/24/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear She from Virginia,

I wanted to pass a long a word of caution regarding comfrey. I had mentioned taking comfrey tea. Herbalist Philip Fritchey says that comfrey should not be used when dealing with deep wounds. I do not know if your wound is deep, so I thought I should let you know that. With deep wounds comfrey can cause the skin to heal too quickly over the wound and if there is any infection in it, you could get an abscess this way. He does not specify if this happens in using comfrey internally for deep wounds or externally. I just avoid comfrey with deep wounds.

11/25/2013: Pam from Central Fl: "Hey! I once poured honey in an open wound in my leg wrapped it up and changed it every day. It closed up fast, but I continued about a week to ensure its healing. No puss, no keloid. When I showered I left the wrapping on and just changed it after the shower, I didnt worry much about cleaning it because I knew the power of the honey!"

12/01/2013: She from Virginia, United States: "Thank everyone for their advice............I so appreciate it. Went to wound center and saw a wound specialist. He cleaned out wound and cleaned out the infection. Got put on an antibiotic and have to put an enzymatic wound cleaner in the wound and keep it wrapped up. As much as I don't want to take an antibiotic I'm scared not to. Don't know if I have MRSA or flesh eating bacteria. Culture wont be back for 1 week. Don't have fever, so that's a good sign. Will also be taking colloidial silver and turmeric along with antibiotic. I cant remember the last time I took an antibiotic. So Hopefully taking it now will help this hole in my leg heal!! Thx everyone! She"

12/02/2013: Helpyourself from Texas, Usa: "Hydrogen Peroxide works wonders. I cured a nasty spider bite, my dogs mange, etc. Use Hydrogen Peroxide from the store if you can't get food grade HP."

11/24/2013: Katherine from Portland, Oregon: "Hi Aya, I also have Seb Derm, but it appears on my forehead. The main trigger is dairy, so try avoiding dairy and see if that helps. Cheese is the worst! Goat milk doesn't aggravate it so I have learned to love it! I also take omega 3 fish oil, Vitamin D and Vitamin E daily."

11/24/2013: Judy from Calgary Alberta Canada: "Hi Aya: Try covering your scalp in castor oil. Leave it on for a full day. You may want to put a shower cap on to keep it from mucking anything else up. Wash the oil out and then use a vinigar rinse. 10% vinigar to water should be good. any vinigar will do but apple cider vinigar is best.

The concept is that salp problems are most often caused by a fungus. The castor oil smothers the fungus the vinigar rinse helps to balance the skins ph. The ative ingredients in Nizoral kill the fungfus but perhaps not all of it. Try this and see if it helps. Also try getting a new pillow once you have, to avoid re-introducing the fungus. Some suppliments that help healthy tissue growth is vitamin C and D. It is now being recomended by the medical establishment that we take in 1000 to 4000IU of vitamin D a day. Espeially those who live in northern geographical areas or who constantly block out the suns rays with sunscreen, need higher doses.

Hope this helps.

Judy"

11/19/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Dear Mary,

I will pass along a few ideas to get you started with what you have on hand to promote your healing. Some posters here are better than I at the big picture and may have some more comprehensive ideas for you. But you can definitely get started with what you have and see how it goes and make changes as you go along until you are feeling well again. The thing about dosages is, that there are usually not hard and fast rules. With my own family, I start with one thing and increase or decrease amounts and frequency of dosage depending on how the person feels.

For the borax, Ted recommends 1/4 teaspoon in a liter of water daily for women. For men, it is 1/2 teaspoon per liter. You mention that you are very tall and 175 pounds. You may do well with the 1/2 teaspoon. Or your could try 3/8 teaspoon. This you can sip throughout the day.

For your Apple Cider Vinegar, try 1 Tablespoon in 6-8 ounces of water morning and evening.

For your coconut oil, start with 1 teaspoon three times a day and work up to 3 Tablespoons three times a day. You can take it plain or put it on toast, or put it in a fruit smoothie or whatever.

My family has not used baking soda much internally. Perhaps someone else will have a thought on that. Some people do use Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda together.

You might try starting with one of the above and adding something else every few days to make sure nothing disagrees with you.

For your cough, you might consider trying Bill's Hydrogen Peroxide inhalation therapy. Mullein Leaf Tea would also be good to try for the cough. It is also important to avoid dairy with any cough, as you probably know.

An Epsom Salt bath (1 cup per tub) at night might help some with the sleeping. Adding a couple of drops of eucalyptus essential oil, or lavender essential oil or both may help with the sleep and cough.

I am assuming you are working on reducing the sugar consumption and trying to eat well.

Please let us know what you try and what helps. I hope you feel better soon!

~Mama to Many~"

11/19/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mary: Well intentioned people like yourself condemn sugar because you heard this from a supplement manufacturer. There is a lot more money to be made from isolates than from foods like whole cane, raw wildflower honey, and organic produce. These substances were created by God for the good of his creatures like the butterfly who migrates 3, 000 miles from Canada to Mexico. As long as you believe they are enlightened knowledgable wise men and that their advertisement is an explanation of reality the way reality really is you are going to continue to suffer. Many 80/10/10ers have recovered from diabetes, cancer, and candida while eating fruit. You can watch their videos. Andrew Kim decided to study cellular biology when his dog died in his arms. He explains technically why sugar is necessary. You can read his blogs."

11/19/2013: Mama To Many from Tennessee, Usa: "Hi again, Mary,

I thought I should clarify this...I do agree with Mike that natural sugar is healthy. When I said that I assumed that you were reducing sugar, I meant the processed kind. I think natural sugar (honey, fruit, etc.), is good for you.

~Mama to Many~"

11/20/2013: Mary from Edmonton: "Thank you so much for being so articulate but of equal importance is what "should" I be taking? I only mentioned what I had on hand.

Acidosis requires alkalinity but candida requires acidity so I am not sure of the order of what to do and how to do it? I can afford to purchase anything else need but I cannot afford to see another doctor because they are killing me.

Thank you so much for the amounts, mama to many, & I will keep them on my list of things to do.

Does anyone know what order and amounts I should be doing for acidosis/yeast (silent reflux/candida)?

I am testing with PH strips. Fresh lemon and water create instant alkalinity. It is higher than what is on the strips (in case this may help anyone else) but it is short lived. If you would like to do this yourself use about 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in about 8 oz of water. I use Xylitol sugar to sweeten as it is antibacterial.

I have tried baking soda in water but I can't seem to get the PH up enough.

I tried extra virgin coconut oil since I use it a lot anyway. It made the horrific brown phlegm I have been coughing up clear and frothy but It was still very thick & mucousy. It gave me extreme diarrhea for a couple of days so I discontinued the EVCO.

Help? Any scientists out there that know what the order of care should be and what I should use and in what amounts? So sorry to hear about Ted too. Can we help him in any way?"

11/20/2013: Mary from Edmonton: "Sorry Mike...I should have been more specific. When I mention sugar I mean the pure white kind with no benefits. I do use Xylitol and Manuka honey quite a bit. I use the ACV with manuka and xylitol in everything else. I also eat a lot if fruit for exactly the reasons you have mentioned as they contain a lot of powerful antioxidants. I try to stay away from the more moldy fruits like cantaloupe until I get this under control.

Thanks for reminding everyone about the benefits of the good sugars!"

11/20/2013: Mary from Edmonton: "Hi Mama to Many! Please read my response to Mike. You were correct when you assumed I meant white sugar only."

11/20/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Mary: The simple solution of increasing the respiratory quotient and improving digestion solves all the complicated problems. Insulin, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and electricity prevent the candida from eating the sugar. Home made water kefir is the best way to improve digestion. The cost is 15 cents per pint. I take 4 pints per day. Low levels of ATP weaken the cells. You need 2000 calories to make fuel, 240 calories for protein, and 240 calories for oil. The protein and oils are for structure, metabolic enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters. Take 250g raw wildflower honey and 250g organic whole dried cane juice for fuel, 20g non denatured whey isolate, 10g absorbable colostrum, 10g nondefatted dessicated liver, 7g hawaiin spirulina, 3g chlorella, and 30g raw cocoa powder for protein and beneficial substances, 30g black chia seeds, 5ml sesame oil, and 20g expellar pressed coconut oil for fats. Just nourishing the cells with raw bioactive nutrients is the way to get better."

11/21/2013: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines: "Hi Mary...I would try the following for your reflux, chest and candida problems:

Acid Reflux
It's well known that stomach digestion needs an acid medium whereas main stage duodenal digestion(in the upper intestines) needs an alkaline to neutral medium for healhty digestion.

Initially, food digestion occurs in the stomach where pepsin is needed to initiate protein digestion, where correct syomach acidity kills pathogens incoming with the food and where the stomach muscles help to churn and break up the food for better digestion. After a short period a hormone called secretin is secreted when stomach acidity as at the correct pH acid levels. This hormone -- secretin -- acts to trigger second stage digestion so that duodenal digestion or main stage digestion can occur.

The problem you therefore have is too little stomach acid, So your decision not to take PPIs was a very wise one indeed -- because PPIs massively reduce stomach acidity so that duodenal digestion is not triggered by secretin and so main stage digestion, where proteins, carbohydrates, fats and sugars are all broken down by specific pancreatic enzymes for absorption into the body, simply does not occur. Instead the food just sits there in the duodenum stagnating, rotting and fast-breeding pathogens in the intestines creating many problems. What you therefore need to do is increase your stomach acid back to normal concentratons which is perhaps the core reason for your reflux problems.

The way to remedy this problem is to supplement pancreatic enzymes (that also contain papain and bromelain), betaine hydrochloride and sodium bicarbonate at every meal.

Take the betaine hydrochloride and pancreatin or pancreatic enzymes with every meal as advised on the labels. You should also supplement sodium bicarbonate or Baking Soda(Arm & Hammer is OK to use) an hour after every meal. The dosage is 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per dose. The pancreatic enzymes ensure proper food digestion and the betaine hydrochloride supplies the necessary chloride to the stomach to help heal and regenerate proper amounts of hydrochloric acid or gastric acid. And the sodium bicarbonate -- always taken an hour after eating meals -- acts to assure the proper alkaline to neutral medium in the duodenum so that proper main stage digestion and absorption can occur. It's also beneficial to take baking soda with water one hour before you go to bed -- this will reduce the acidity and therefore will help to reduce and eliminate the nocturnal reflux. Eating smaller meals in the evening would also help with both your reflux and insomnia issues.

Candida
As to a remedy for your candida problems, I have recently updated my anti-candida protocol -- please see this link.

Wet Cough
Concerning your problems with phlegm, the candida protocol that I have advised uses lugol's iodine and sea salt, both of which should help to reduce wet coughs and phlegm. If this does not work well then you should perhaps use Bill Munroe's Hydrogen Peroxide method using a fine spray inhaler. See this link."

11/22/2013: Mary from Edmonton: "Bill...thank you so much for giving me the sequence that I was so desperately looking for and your timing is amazing! I just received my 5% lugol's yesterday and took 3 drops this morning. I am on desiccated thyroid so I was planning to take 3 drops 4 x day & slowly increase to whatever I can tolerate. I have been using baking soda as well as HCI tablets. I finally got the stomach burn at 5 tablets yesterday so I will back down to 4 at my next meal. My gastroentologist cringed when I told him I was taking HCI & that is when he wrote the script "even though" I told him it was helping me!

I am not sure I am ready to take turpentine internally. Biologically the link you sent makes perfect sense but my cognitive functioning has been severely impaired to the point that I was taking external glutathione internally & did not realize for 3 wks so I will leave turpentine & MB for my last resorts.

I will gladly do the rest of your protocol as it makes perfect sense. Some rainforest herbs that may be beneficial that you may want to look up are:

• Sangre De Grado (dragon's blood)
• Anamu
• Brazilian pepper Tree

A great site for info is:

http://www.rain-tree.com/sangre.htm#.Uo90vRB5mSM

I have been using the Sangre De Grado with much success because my sugar cravings are waning which means it must be effecting the Candida. I am ordering the Anamu & Brazilian Pepper Tree next.

I cannot thank you enough for such obviously knowledgable and sound advice!!!"

11/23/2013: Bill from San Fernando, The Philippines: "Hi Mary...Just some more advice that may help you.

First, you should always, always take the normal iodine companion nutrients whenever you supplement lugol's iodine to avoid the healing crisis and other problems that can occur whenever you supplement lugol's iodine. These companion nutrients are also contained within the anti-candida protocols that you are now taking.

If you don't wish to use the turpentine protocol then you could instead use nattokinase or serrapeptase(or bromelain and papain) outside mealtimes. These protease enzymes also work to digest and remove hardened and mature biofilms in the intestines which can certainly hinder and slow your path to a cure.

I would also approve of the use of any herbs purchased from the Raintree Nutrition website(especially the Brazilian Peppertree herb). I know this site very well. Leslie Taylor, the owner of this website cured herself of leukemia(AML) by just using herbs from the Amazon rainforest in South America. As a result of her amazing cure she then set up the Raintree Nutrition website for organic herb sales via sustainable farming and also started the now-famous Rainforest Database which I still use today as a reference.

What's more, I bought her book "The Healing Power of Herbs -- Rainforest Herbs" which is a very detailed and thorough book that describes everything you need to know about how to use and prepare these tropical herbs. Indeed it is a tomb of a book as you can imagine and good value This book is what first helped me so much in teaching me how to grow and prepare these herbs for use from my own tropical garden in the Philippines.

So you can imagine how saddened and devastated I was when I learned that the Raintree Nutrition herb sales website had to shutdown mainly due prosecutions by the US FDA. Here is the last letter from Raintree and Leslie Taylor in 2012 detailing the reasons for the herb sales shutdown at Raintree Nutrition. Although they are still selling herbs now -- Raintree have not been renewing their stock of herbs because of all their current problems. "

11/24/2013: Mary from Edmonton: "Hi Bill.

Thanks for the tip! I have some serrapeptase on hand so I will try that today. I have been doing great since adding the Lugol's to my protocol. I also have Leslie's book which I initially bought because I think that people who have used cures natural to their part of the planet have for so much longer than the pharmaceutical companies have been around probably have some sage advice to offer us.

Thank you so much for still thinking of me, Bill. You are obviously a very kind man who likes to help."

11/24/2013: Mike 62 from Denver, Colorado: "Sandra: The longest lived animal who has the most advanced nervous system spends all day every day eating the most potent of all the superfoods, marine phytoplankton. Get the case of 12 1oz. liquid bottles for $342. Eat 80% carbs, 5% fiber, 10% protein, and 5% oil by weight.

http://www.charliefoundation.org/faq/ketogenic-diet.html"

11/24/2013: Mary from Edmonton: "Hi Momo.

I just went through all lot of your symptoms so this will be very helpful.

1. Buy some HCI tablets and start by taking 1 at the first meal then 2 at the second meal and continue until you feel a burn in your stomach then back down to the previous amount for the next meal. You are trying to determine if you have too much or too little acid in your stomach because you cannot go forward until you determine the correct problem. If you have too little acid the PPI's would not work as they reduce your your stomach acid when you actually need more acid henceforth the HCI tablets? ACV does the same thing except it is harder to control the dose. There are no side effects testing the HCI tablet's but the are many with the PPI's.

2. Since you were in India there is a very good chance that you may have picked up a bacteria like H.Pylori which causes the reflux. We all have H.pylori but they only represent a problem when there is an overgrowth which means your system was probably in a weakened condition to begin with so you have to do 2 things: strengthen your immune system and kill the overgrowth of bacteria. In my case it felt like my head was full all the time. It is because sometimes the reflux backs up into your lungs which causes the tightness in your chest & that scary feeling of not being able to breathe then eventually it moves up into your head. I ended up on an inhaler to open my bronchial airways when they got constricted. Japanese mint oil does the same. As soon as you start to feel constricted put a couple of drops on the back of your hand and lick them off as they are really strong! I also had that horrible lump in my throat that made me panic when I could not swallow sometimes.

My protocol that has been working for 4 days now is:

1. Lugol's 5% iodine: start at 3 drops in water on an empty stomach 3 times a day & work your way up to 8 drops or any lesser dose that makes you feel well. Most of our thyroids are working less than necessary so this will generate the metabolism you need to fight this thing. Do not take with anything else. Must be 3 hrs. after a meal or 1 hr. before a meal &/or drinks of any kind.

2. Sangre de Grado (also called Dragon's Blood). I bought the Rainforest Pharmacy brand on line. See the benefits at http://www.rain-tree.com/sangre.htm#.UpIaoRB5mSM. 15 drops in water on an empty stomach 2 x day. This will kill those nasty bacteria.

3. Natural Factors makes a tincture that has Echinacea and goldenseal http://www.naturalfactors.com/caen/products/detail/2668/echinamide-anti-cold-echinacea-and38-goldenseal-tincture that will strengthen your lungs. 1 ml 3 x day again on an empty stomach. I combined this with the Sangre de grado but NOT the Lugol's.

3.Really small meals and lots of them until you get this under control especially at night time and no acidic food or drinks especially anything containing sugar which is acid forming. Fruit & vege's are alkaline and everything else is acid forming except for fats which are neutral. If you find that too difficult try to eat or drink any of the bad stuff before lunch so that you are not refluxing at night.

4. Buy some saliva PH strips and test your saliva constantly to make sure your PH is in the normal range: 7.2 to 7.4 most of the time. You cannot be too acidic (below 7) or too alkaline (above 7.4). If you find you are consistently very acidic inbetween meals take 1/2 tsp of baking soda with just a tiny pinch of Xylitol sugar in a 1/2 cup of water to neautralize your stomach acid. You must mix the baking soda very well! I use a handheld friother. Take this mixture again just before bed on an empty stomach so that you can avoid the acid reflux at night. Your stomach needs to be acidic before/during meals to digest your food then alkaline from an hour to 3 hours afterwards depending on what you are digesting. The sugar which is antibacterial allows the baking soda inside the cells.

5. You may have a hiatal hernia from the reflux. Find a good chiropractor and have him pull it down once then do it on your own afterwards. Perhaps there is something on Youtube. You must have excellent posture to prevent squishing your stomach with your diaphragm which also causes the reflux especially after a meal.

Please let me know how you make out as it took me so long to find my protocol. Everyone told me what to do but all of it is pointless until you do the testing to determine the issue first.

Best wishes."

07/23/2009: Raquel from West Palm Beach, FL: "Hi Middlebunny, by what you say it could be that you have a systemic fungal infestation so besides the things you're doing perhaps you should follow an anti-candida/fungal diet. It can't hurt to try, you would know whether it's making a difference or not during the first few weeks anyway.

I've read that since garlic can kill bad bacteria it can also kill the good ones so maybe that's why you were having gas, maybe you could alternate its use with taking a good probiotic or eating a good plain yogurt every day.

Since most of the damage to our health due to fungi comes from the mycotoxins they produce I recommend that you take several grams of Vit. C and 100-150 mg. of zinc each day, these nutrients have the ability of neutralizing different types of mycotoxins. Other antioxidants, vit. D, selenium and calcium have similar activity too (taken from http://www.orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1998/articles/1998-v13n04-p244.shtml)."

11/24/2013: Erika from Grand Junction, Co: "I'm a big fan of garlic too. I hate to taste it with out it being in amazing food. so when I take it I just crack the head of garlic and get the little cloves and swallow like pills. I can hardly taste it and it doesn't seem to give me bad breath. I've had some tremendous success with using essential oil on balancing hormones.. Just something to look into in the future. God bless your efforts, you're on the right track taking your health back into your hands."

11/15/2013: L from Florida, Usa: "Wanted to update you...after I posted that the Black Cohosh worked for me, I got another UTI that was very painful, with blood. I'm not sure if it was because my body was "cleaning house" or what...got a prescription for Macrobid. This took care of the infection but I still had the terrible urge to pee all the time.

I looked more seriously at the foods I was eating, trying to change to a more alkaline diet as well as cutting out all coffee, soda, alcohol. Then I started taking the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide each morning. I also began taking turmeric. I took warm baths with epsom salts before bed. But the thing that has seemed to help me the most was the Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I rubbed it in externally over the bladder area for a couple of nights before going to sleep, and I am now also taking it with each meal.

I do believe our bodies want to heal themselves and I am trying to help with what I know and have read from others. I also know the Good Lord answered my prayers as I have been pain free now for a couple of days and I am so thankful.

Blessings to all--

11/24/2013: L from Fl: "Another update...I have also begun taking something for the acid in my stomach (pantoprozole) and have been fine ever since. I believe the original problem causing ICC begins in the stomach/digestion. I am now starting to eat the foods that I had stopped eating when I was told that I had ICC. So far so good."

12/17/2012: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa: "Hi Michael, It's awesome that you are getting such great results from your rhodiola! Where are you getting it from? Rhodiola is known to enhance both physical and mental endurance, it is beneficial for those living under stressful conditions(isn't that everyone these days?! ), is beneficial to the cardiovascular system and is a powerful immune strengthener. One very important aspect is, it is a safe and powerful antidepressant. So no wonder, you're having such great responses. Have you tried any other Chinese herbs? I like reishi and chaga mushroom to build the body since they are powerful adaptogens and also goji and schizandra which have unbelievable attributes as well. I love the way the Chinese herbs have helped me in so many ways and take them on a regular daily basis. My energy is steady and my health strong. Best to you! Lisa"

11/23/2013: Diane from Palos Hills, Il: "Michael, green tea, alone, totally gives me the jitters. Rhodiola on it's own does not. I'd try taking straight up Rhodiola. You might like it better. Also, I just read about green tea having loads of fluoride in it! Do some research!"

11/23/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "At various times and places, adding H2O2 commonly called hydrogen peroxide (properly measured) to their drinking water can bring substantial relief."

11/23/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Thanks Tim, but what is the dosage, If you recommend H202, then lugols solution and/or Colloidal Silver should work. But I have to test and see the result. Good Health"

11/23/2013: Timh from Ky, Usa: "Ed: Ed Mcabe recommends 1oz 3% hydrogen peroxide per 1qrt water (sorry no metrics here) in "small animals" but doesn't give recommendation for livestock; so the above figure would be a good start.

In human use you may have seen the figures here on e.c. 2 drops 35% H2O2 per 4oz water and increase one drop per day.

I mentioned the H2O2 over Iodine or colloidal silver as the most convenient, economical method. If one could generate, say, a gallon of high ppm c.s. and rotate w/ hydrogen peroxide that might prove the most powerful method. Mixing H2O2 and c.s. together requires some careful chemistry (as in Leonard Harowitz's "Oxysilver" product)."

11/23/2013: Ed2010 from Canada: "Normally, the dosage of dairy is 10 times of Human.

When compared to Lugols, CS, h202 . H202 is the cheapest. Even more Borax is more cheaper. But I am not sure about its efficacy on viral infection.

There is a sudden onset of Foot and Mouth Disease in Cattles in some regions of South India now. So I posted this question. Very long time ago, when our family was having Dairy Farm. We used to spray Phenyl on the Foot. Spray Neem Oil, and apply camphor powder on the foot.

Good Health."

11/23/2013: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Qwerty, why don't you try a diluted h202 sitz bath?"

11/23/2013: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh: "Qwerty,

If you google "PH balanced soap" there is a yellow soap in a blue package that comes up. It matches your body's natural PH, and using it may give you the relief you want. Best wishes."

11/25/2013: Jill from Nc: "I have had a cranky crotch on and off for years. I found using Nutrogena soap in the area to be soothing - as my doc recommended. Also use your finger tips to clean the area and NOT scrub with a wash cloth. Taking extra acidophilus would be fine. Years ago I used to douche with yogurt too..... unflavored of course.... unless.....lol.."

[YEA]  01/10/2012: Ravi C from Alpharetta, Ga, Usa: "I had mild incontinence and taking magnesium (400 mg) twice a day really helped."

07/15/2012: Smithsurfermom from Huntington Beach, Ca: "I was having trouble with incontinence a few years ago and just chocked it up to getting older. I was even checking out Drs. who specialized in treating it when my friend said her Dr. told her taking too many vitamins can cause it. I immediately stopped taking most of my vitmains except magnesium & vitamin D which I was low in and I stopped having the problem. Recently I switched to a magnesium containing zinc and calcium, thinking I should start taking calcium again, and now I am having the same sudden urges and incontinence again! I'm tossing those pills out and going back to straight magnesium again! I'm thinking it is the calcium as I never took zinc before but I'm just going back to straight magnesium. I take 500 mg. 2x per day. I tried researching it but couldn't find anything that said this but it is sure true for me. I'm so glad my firend mentioned it to me when she did or I may have gone through some kind of extreme treatment to fix something that just adjusting my vitamin intake fixed. Go figure!"

07/16/2012: Citygirl27 from Richardson, Tx, Usa: "I have never heard of that. I take "therapeutic" or "effective" doses of just about everything (i.e. Sometimes several times over what the FDA will make people put on the bottle) and have never had that problem. I did notice that it improved after I had both my kids when I reduced my caffeine intake and weight. Be sure it isn't the tea/soda/coffee or other caffeinated drink you're taking the supplements with that isn't causing it."

07/19/2012: Rachel from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire: "Hi there, read your comments re: supplements and magnesium. If you want to know why magnesium works for you compared to taking loads of vitamin pills look up IMVA particularly Mark Sircus book on Transdermal Magnesium Therapy. You will learn so much and it is sooooo interesting and helpful Be well and happy"

11/23/2013: Stlou from St. Louis: "I've had the same trouble with brands of calcium and MSM. I had been finally diagnosed with mercury poisoning and was finally 90% better, but changing supplements gave me incontinence again as well as insomnia, some migraines, fogginess and more. Realized that in each instance, I had switched from a shellfish-free or fish oil free source to one that did not make such claims. Any of these items can be contaminated with heavy metals and may be causing the issues. I had to learn to stick to my brands, specific items and check label carefully every time. I do take a refrigerated fish oil capsule, but it is third party mercury/dioxin-free certified and I've no issue with it. You may need calcium or the MSM, just not the source that particular product has."

07/26/2008: Jeffy from Chicago, IL: "The 78 percent likelihood of death from cold showers is indeed a reality in our society today. There is a study on Cold Shower Death I read in college, and I am certain I have experienced it!"

07/28/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn: "Hi Jeffy, excuse me for asking, but if you experienced death from a cold shower, please tell me whose computer you sent this message on!"

04/27/2010: Cayita from Fenwick, Ontario: "Lol, Jeffy, you have a great sense of humor"

08/22/2011: Learning from Northern, In: "I'm pretty sure she meant that if your temperature is 78 then you are dead..."

11/23/2013: Sam from Tampa Fl: "No one is going to die from a cold shower or quick dip in icy water. You can die from anything you believe in. Watch this on you tube. It is traditional to dip into an ice hole in january in Russia

11/23/2013: Joseph from Asaba/nigeria: "Your post on this subject is very instructive. I am suffering from hepatitis B infection. I tried alpha lipoic acid and milk thistle but each time I take them, I come down with serious abdominal pain. I had to stop the medication. But I am afraid that my liver is at risk. Advice me before please."
