14 days agoNettles, Honey, & Cinnamon Tea for Osteoarthritis
14 days agoMy favorite holistic cure for severe ostoarthritis pain (an RA type) sourced from other countries... 1 cup organic Nettle tea + 2 Tbsp raw, organic, local Honey (best if you get directly from a bee keeper) + 1 tsp cinnamon powder. (Note: you can just use filtered water instead).
1. Steep the tea for 10min (up to 15min if you want to completely relax - no driving afterwards! )
2. Cool by stirring in 1/8c room temp filtered water, then stir in the honey & cinnamon.
3. Keep stirring while sipping... the cinnamon will not disolve.
*Drink 1st thing in the morning w/water, then do the tea in the p.m. (early - mid afternoon is best so the sweet honey will not activate Cortisol during the night! )
This has given me much relief - and stopped the severity w/in minutes... though, it did take several months before completely stopping the pain.
This was in part of a report compiled by Jill Knight, naturalist, PP-OTD, OTR/L, Asst. Professor at Harding University (Occupational Therapist - Preparatory Program). Also note: Weekly World News, Canada (17 January, 1995 issue) gave a list of 9 diseases that can be cured by honey + cinnamon, as researched by western scientists; used also by Doctors in Japan & India.

If you haven't already tried it, Apple Pectin can trap some of the bile acid and allow it to be excreted.

Re: Bile Acid Diarrhea
14 days agoHello! I have had a myriad of issues since 1992. I believe that I had an appendicitis that went undetected and then had scar tissue that surrounded my lower bowel. I went through 2 years and 2 pregnancies with these issues. Both babies OK, but the pain after delivery of my daughter in 1996 was so bad, that I was taken to the emergency room. I had a barium enema (since I could not have a colonoscopy bc my intestines were so swollen). There they found a restriction and I had 18 inches of my intestines removed along with my ileocecal valve. All good without a colostomy until 20 years later, my gall bladder was very inflamed and not working...no sludge. I had it removed and all well until 2021. Now I have BAM. I was visiting with a Holistic Practitioner who gave me these enzymes that have saved me so that I can eat most anything without a problem. But now that the bile is not binding, I asked for a binder. I did not want to use a pharmaceutical drug so I started a binder that made me feel terrible, so I had to quit. I have also found that HRT has helped tremendously with my thyroid and my anxiety for being in public with issues. I welcome any ideas for natural bile binders that do not require me to change my already boring diet. Thanks!
Re: Turmeric for Hidradenitis Suppurative Boils
14 days agoDear Betsy,
You are already doing so many things that I would have suggested!
It seems likely that you need to address this with internal and external remedies. The Manuka Honey ointment sounds like a good plan.
You could up your turmeric dosage and take it with a wee bit of black pepper as that helps to make it work better. I would try a teaspoon of turmeric 4 times a day.
I have found that certain dietary changes are necessary to clear up stubborn skin issues. Specifically, no sugar or processed foods. Adding in kefir is also helpful. A collagen supplement will help your body get the building blocks for repair.
If you find it doesn't seem to want to heal up in a couple of weeks I would get a medical opinion. If your doctor wants you to get a mammogram, you do have the option to get an ultrasound instead. I have used Herscan. They go to many states in a mobile unit to do breast ultrasound. I paid out of pocket to do this when my doctor really wanted me to get a mammogram, which I have been able to avoid so far. The ultrasound is actually what they do if they find a problem on a mammogram, so it is nice to skip that first step.
Let me know how it goes!

15 days agoHi again, Mark.
I forgot to mention that another important function of berberine is that it can breakdown the biofilms that are protecting the unhealthful bacteria in the gut. So berberine should potentially be started before any potential colon cleanse is initiated to allow the berberine time to breakdown those biofilms.

Re: Carbohydrate/Glucose/Sugar Metabolism Restoration
15 days agoHi Mark,
Berberine will help restore proper carbohydrate and glucose /sugar metabolism. You would need something along the line of a colon cleanse for what you are describing.

Re: Borax for 20 Year Old Cat?
15 days agoIf an animal needs something, they will recognize it when it's present. Offer her a choice of waters. One plain, one distilled, one plain with a tiny bit of borax and one distilled with a tiny bit of borax.
You can do the same with ACV or herbs or whatever. Just make sure the bowls are properly labeled so you know which is which. And don't let your monkey mind interfere or tell you that more is better. Let her tell you that. If she prefers the borax (or ACV or whatever), increase by tiny amounts. And watch out for signs that it's "better than nothing" rather than "the thing she needs". It may not be exactly what she needs but, rather, merely something that contains something the body can use. Whether for whatever your monkey mind is trying to affect or for something else.
The best thing you can do is pay attention - I.e. keep your puny, human, monkey mind out of the equation as much as possible and let the animal's own body do all of the talking.
Confinement is the worst thing about keeping "pets". It prevents them from hunting for what they need, leaving them at the mercy of the stupid, puny monkey mind of man.
Re: Carbohydrate/Glucose/Sugar Metabolism Restoration
15 days agoHi Art,
Does berberine clean out the bowels so food won't be fermented anymore?
In how many days will one be able to digest carbs again after taking berberine?
When can one stop taking berberine, or is this a lifelong thing?
Which brand and how much per day do you recommend?
Thank you
A Bar of Soap for Restless Legs Syndrome
15 days agoA bar of soap doesn't just sit there, being a bar of soap. It is constantly acting within and reacting TO the elements by which it is surrounded. The only mystery is man's lack of interest in its constantly changing state of being.
Soap is a living organism. Constantly "breathing", aging, regenerating, disintegrating and rearranging itself, becoming and unbecoming a huge variety of other "things". Other compounds. And it never stops. It may rest in the absence of other things with which to interact chemically but it doesn't "die". It simply waits. Plus it has other variables like temperature and humidity with which it can play and interact, while it's waiting.
Not all phases are pleasant but they ARE all soap. It doesn't stop being soap just because it changes to a form you don't like. It might become a soap you don't want or understand how it could be USED - given man's lack of interest in it - but it will still be soap.
DE for Pets
15 days agoI have been using organic food grade diatomaceous earth for years now. (diatamaceousearth.com) The first kitty that adopted us "Pretty" was a beautiful calico covered with fleas. I gave her a dry bath with DE avoiding her eyes. I also put it into her wet food (to kill the eggs inside) and shook it in the dry. She completely recovered from them and was a wonderful pet for years. DE is also good for US, killing parasites and containing silicon. It also is good for gardening and keeping away ants.
