I found this recipe at least 15 years ago as I was coming down with a cold and looking for natural remedies. I have had excellent results ever since then. In fact most years I don't even catch colds from people around me with colds (I hug people a lot too. I tell them “I ain't afraid of no cold! Give me my hug! ”)

Hi Vera, the best way to lower your blood glucose readings is to lesson the amount of carbohydrates you eat. Cut out cakes, biscuits, sweets, etc, and keep the amount of carbohydrates to below 50 grams per day. It works, by doing this I lowered my blood glucose levels down to 47. The Keto diet is the best plan to follow for this. Look on line and you will find lots of guidelines on how to follow this diet. Best of luck!

  Has Anyone Tried Vagus Nerve Stimulation for High Cortisol?

Hi Carolyn,

In case you don't get the answer you are seeking, Ashwagandha and Melatonin have shown significant efficacy at lowering cortisol levels.

This new study (October, 2025) illustrates how Ashwagandha Root Extract significantly lowered cortisol levels in this 12 month human study :

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ptr.70096

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

' Serum cortisol levels decreased significantly (p < 0.001), while lipid profile and plasma glucose levels remained unaffected. '

In the following new study (November, 2025) in children, it was shown that oral melatonin significantly lowered cortisol levels also :

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41201777/

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

' Salivary cortisol levels also decreased significantly in the N₂O (p < 0.001, d = 0.91 [95% CI: 0.70-1.12]) and melatonin groups (p < 0.001, d = 0.74 [95% CI: 0.54-0.94]), whilst changes in the control group were nonsignificant (p = 0.48). '

I am suffering from high cortisol due to lifelong stress. I was told that vagus nerve stimulation would be helpful. Has anybody tried the Pulsetto or other vagus nerve stimulation devices and has it helped?

Intermittent fasting, Celilia! I went from A1c 5.9 to 5.7 in 12 months. I plant to keep going with it until I am way in the normal range. And it will help with the edema as well, plus you'll lose weight. Costs nothing. :-)

Hi Cecilia,

You might consider talking to your doctor about using Berberine for your prediabetes. The following meta analysis of multiple human studies confirms the efficacy of Berberine in human diabetics :

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9709280/#:~:text=Results: Thirty-seven studies involving, RecordID=292975, identifier CRD42021292975.

Here are two relevant quotes from the meta analysis :

' Berberine has a glucose-lowering effect, which is related to the baseline FPG and HbA1c levels of patients. Treatment with berberine may be safe since it does not increase the incidence of total adverse events and the risk of hypoglycemia. '

' Thirty-seven studies involving 3, 048 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that berberine could reduce FPG (WMD = -0.82 mmol/L, 95% CI (-0.95, -0.70)), HbA1c (WMD = -0.63%, 95% CI (-0.72, -0.53)), and 2hPBG (WMD = -1.16 mmol/L, 95% CI (-1.36, -0.96)), with all results being statistically significant. Subgroup analyses revealed that the glucose-lowering effect of berberine was associated with baseline mean FPG and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes. In addition, berberine alone or in combination with oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) in the treatment of T2DM did not significantly increase the incidence of total adverse events (RR = 0.73, 95% CI (0.55, 0.97), p = 0.03) and the risk of hypoglycemia (RR = 0.48, 95% CI (0.21, 1.08), p = 0.08).'

Since diabetes can be a life threatening disease, it is imperative that you get your doctor's approval and supervision in order to use berberine for your diabetes.

  Re: Treatment For Surgical Adhesions? (New Ailments Page Created)

Posted by Art (California) on 11/23/2025

Hi Joanest,

Four that might be worth considering for surgery related adhesions are papain, lumbrokinase, bromelain and melatonin lotion or melatonin gel.

Here is how to make melatonin lotion :

https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html

You can talk to your doctor about the feasibility of possibly using an inside/outside approach such as melatonin lotion or gel applied to the foot and one or two of the supplements taken orally to work from the inside.

Why melatonin? This is what Google has to say on that topic based on animal studies :

' Yes, preliminary research suggests that melatonin may help prevent surgical adhesions by acting as an antioxidant and reducing inflammation, although human studies are still needed. Studies in animal models have shown that melatonin can significantly lower the extent and severity of adhesions after surgery. '

Melatonin lotion applied topically can allow relevant amounts of melatonin to reach higher local tissue levels directly where needed, but you can discuss this further with your doctor or surgeon or both in order to be as safe as possible for yourself.

 Is There Really a Food Grade Borax?

Hi Ten,

I've been using 20 Mule Team Borax that I buy from my local market laundry aisle to keep my arthritis in remission for over 17 years, so for me it works just fine, but I guess if it makes a person feel better to know that they are taking what is being called "food grade borax", then maybe the extra expense is worth it for them.

Health Starting To Deteriorate - Researching Remedies

Posted by Steven (Scotland) on 11/23/2025

Hi everyone

1st post so be kind haha...

I've been doing my own research on natural remedies since I ended up with pneumonia 2022 mid covid if you like, no vaccines taken. I stumbled across colloidal silver on twitter, joined a few pages on social media, learned how to brew my own and nebulise it, drink it, spray it on myself etc. I also learned about mullein which I have recently harvested and made a tincture from. I am 51 now and starting to see a bit of health deteriorating a wee bit, slipped disc L4 L5 area few years ago, pneumonia, gout, neck pain to add. Antibiotics from hospital when I had pneumonia cleaned the goodness out of me in my opinion. I read up about FGHP and borax too. I have all these to hand now in my cupboards and fridge but have too much rattling about in my head what to take and when to take it! I have enough potions now to help me but not sure when and how I should take them, especially FGHP? I was taking 1/8tsp of borax in my coffee but the notion wore off or I'd forget, same with the Mullein, when I remember, if I feel a sniffle coming on I'll get my nebuliser out with colloidal silver. I know consistency is key! Thanks for reading just thought I'd introduce myself and see what others think or can relate. Thanks Steven

Is There Really a Food Grade Borax?

I have been adding 1/8 tablespoon Borax per liter to all of my drinking water for over a year now. It's the regular Borax sold in the Markets as a detergent. I have had no problems whatsoever and only benefits to the reduced amount of pain in my severely arthritic knee. I just received a comment on a post on Instagram claiming that I need to use "food grade Borax." Knowing that there's a prolific amount of BOTS(Big Harma) spreading a prolific amount of disinformation in regards to things, such as Borax, that have a large and inexpensive, health benefit- I submit this inquiry as to whether there truly is a "food grade Borax" and whether or not I should bother switching to it??

Why is there nothing on here about other adhesions, only abdominal adhesions? I have a serious adhesion from foot surgery. TCM had nearly healed it but I had to quit going to my TCMD when I could no longer afford it. I'm not sure how adaptable the stomach adhesion advice is to surgical adhesions.

​I suffer pre- diabetis ( résistance à l'insuline). I took Metformine a des weeks and had to stop it : unbearable. Now, from today I use gemmotherapy : Juniper and Rosemary. I'm horrified to see rolls of fat ( or water) on my belly and cellulites on my legs. Before that bad expérience, I was thin. I'm desperate. What can I do? My doctor says " Let's wait". I'm 79.

That sounds like gallbladder. Take an HCL with betaine when you feel that discomfort and it should go right away. If it does, then you know it's GB :)

Thanks Art & Vera. I would also like to add that getting your copper levels correct is also very important in correcting insulin issues. Correcting insulin should correct sebb. dermatitis problems. I definitely recommend trashing teflon cookware for copper cookware as well as taking copper and selenium supplements. Be careful not to overdo it however; its a fine balance and too much copper can cause adverse effects. Long story short- Our diets have become deficient due to Glyphosate/Roundup usage blocking important minerals from plants. I also recommend Dr. Morley Robbins on youtube - he's a wealth of information on this subject.

From Google:

"High copper levels can lead to insulin resistance by promoting oxidative stress and disrupting insulin signaling, while copper deficiency is linked to impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. The relationship is complex: copper is essential for normal glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function, but excess amounts can act as a pro-oxidant and contribute to the development of insulin resistance. "

This really makes sense to me as I had become very glucose and fructose intolerant. I was a heavy soda drinker, and the fructose in drinks can also block copper absorption.

Osage Orange for Cancer

Osage Orange Grainular

We started taking the Osage Orange or hedge apple by freezing it and grating with a cheese grater a tablespoon full for consumption once a day. It tastes like fresh cucumber. Then I was told people were selling it on ebay for $40 an apple. So I looked it up and saw a picture of the osage orange for $40 but below the caption, it said one ounce of dehydrated hedge apple powder. So I ordered a commercial dehydrator with 24 racks. It cost $500. Then when it came in we found it was too hard to cut with a knife and the slices were too thick. So we took it to a commercial kitchen and they sliced it with a meat slicer as thin as we wanted. So after buying a meat slicer from a closed up business for $125 we were able to slice them quickly as thin as we wanted. Once in the dehydrator we found that it took 17 hours to dry them at 120 degrees. They curled up like a potato chip. From there they went into a Vitamix grinder and ground down to a small grainular. It seemed to be still damp and would cluster so I took a cookie sheet and some parchment paper and spread it out and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 190 degrees. It came out nice and dry and I was able to bag it in quart size freezer bags and put in plastic coffee cans and store in the freezer. You can sat it out on the counter away from the sunlight and moisture for weeks at a time and it be just fine. We found that 1/4 teaspoon full for 30 days usually showed great results. If you double up on it, you might have a little diarrhea for a few days until your body got used to it. There is little or no taste when dehydrated. I use it on my eggs every morning for the last eight years. I have mailed it in envelopes to five different countries and it arrived just fine unless at times some governments may confiscate it. I heard about a woman getting well of stomach cancer and I drove to another town to meet her. She also gave it to a man that had prostate cancer and both said their cancers were gone in about 30 days. I gave it to a woman with breast cancer and it was gone in 30 days. A swollen thyroid on a woman was so large her head was cocked over. The doctors wanted to remove it and give her chemo for cancer. She tried this first and it was gone in 30 days. gout, acid reflux, arthritis, and even stage four kidney failure was working in about 60 days. Tumor on the liver was gone in 30 days. There is no guarantee that it will work for everyone but it has worked for many people that I know. Quite often the doctor will call the patient after taking a blood test and he will ask what medicine are they taking. Several times when the patients have said none, they have said you are taking something because your blood is clean. What we are seeing is it does not work if they are taking chemo. The chemo overides the effect of the hedge apple. I made 33 pounds in six weeks a year ago but still have plenty as it only goes by word of mouth. You can use it if you are sick or use it daily to stay healthy. There are no side effects other than a small diarrhea when you first start if you take more than a 1/4 teaspoon a day. Warning if you make it, use gloves and goggles. The dust can get in your eyes and you will think you need to go to the hospital. It stings like glass in your eyes and I could not wash it out. What I found is take toilet paper and lay against your eyeball and it will stick to the paper and pull away from your eye. God bless and let you bless others.
