RE: DAUGHTER\'S MYSTERIOUS SYMPTOMS

Wed, 16 May 12 14:36:53 -0500

Debbie from Lodi, California writes: "Hello Bill, once again thank you for responding. I did take my daughter to a naturopath and he had her do a microbial ecology panel that checks the DNA of her stool. There was no fungus present. The only reccommendation he gave was a homeopathic ointment which work temporarily. We have decided to treat her eczema as if it were a virus and IT IS CLEARING UP! We are giving her L-Lysine and Silver (internally and a gel topically). I am not sure if there is something else I should give her or what may work better. But so far we like what we are seeing. She does take vitamin D and probiotics daily. In her baths we add H202 or ACV (which soothes the itch). Again, Thanks. Debbie "

CASTOR OIL FOR LOSS OF SMELL

Wed, 16 May 12 14:35:03 -0500

Jamacc from Houston, Texas writes: "Can someone please explain to me about the castor oil in greater detail? How often and how much? I lost my sense of smell 5 years ago and was told it was due to Nasal Polyps, I had them removed and my sense of smell only comes back temporarily with the use of steroids, such as a Medrol Dose Pack. It is way to unhealthy to take steroids continuously and I worry about building up an tolerance so I save the steroid route for once or twice a year when I just cannot stand not being able to smell anymore. I have had 5 ENT\'s One told me he had never heard of someone losing their sense of smell only to regain it temporarily with steroids, so he never addressed my complaint. I have never had a single Doctor ever use the word Anosmia, in fact only one out of five attempted to address the issue at all. So I am looking for any ideas, I am in my thirties and the thought of not being able to smell again depresses me. One more thing that happened; I hit my head on an open cabinet door once and was able to smell perfectly for one hour before it faded away, any one else have an odd experience like that as well? "

Tony from Church Hill, Tn, Usa writes: "Thanks again Bill for your timely response. I did input additional information & questions in my previous reply that you must have missed/overlooked. It\'s about treating/curing genital herpes that I\'ve had since 1994. I\'ve been using the lemon w/baking soda remedy twice daily. I\'ve mixed in the remedy for swollen lymph nodes at a 1/2 tsp. Baking soda & 1/2 tsp. Sea salt mixture once daily as well. With the lemon/baking soda remedy, I also use 1 tbsp. Of organic ACV. Is it okay to mix the ACV with that lemon/baking soda remedy? I do this morning & night & the lymph node remedy during the day. I\'ve checked my PH levels the past couple days. It\'s been around 6.0-6.5 from both saliva & urine levels. That\'s a bit acidic! However, I started the alkalizing remedies last Tuesday so I probably was more acidic 1 week ago. I did buy the MoM to help with the removal of biofilms & to aid in digestion. I\'ll take it once a week to start. I do eat meat quite a bit anyhow. I do only eat organic meats though. I eat turkey, chicken, fish, 100% grass fed beef, and organic lunch meats as well. I rarely eat pork but if I do it\'s organic as well. We buy 80%-90% of our foods organic. Please go back & address the question I asked about my genital herpes. I submitted it after my initial previous reply. It may have been added to that reply after your latest reply back to me. Thanks again Bill & have a great day! "

Dr Berkson has one of the best records for curing both pancreatic and liver cancers from his protocol, using Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA), Milk Thistle, Selenium, N-Acetyl l-Cysteine and Low Dose Naltrexone(LDN) which also involves taking B vitamins and a vegetarian diet. Normally, Dr Berkson also like to give ALA by direct IV at certain times during this protocol for good results. See Dr Berkson\'s website for details of his treatment in New Mexico.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WORKING FOR TOENAIL FUNGUS

Wed, 16 May 12 10:09:15 -0500

[YEA] Grace from Alma, Michigan writes: "I read a lot of things about apple cider vinegar healing toenail fungus on line. Some of my toenails had fungus and looked really nasty. After only one month of drinking ACV , 2 table spoons in a 32 oz bottle of water daily my toes are a whole lot better, I actually cut the nails with regular toenail clippers. I am pleasantly amazed at how much nicer my feet look after such a short time. I can see where the nail has grown out at the base it looks normal. I will just keep cutting that fungus out until it is all gone and keep on drinking that ACV! I also saw a Dr on tv say to rub mentholatum rub on the nails and I have been doing that too. Whatever I am doing it is working and I am so happy. Looking forward to wearing sandals again this summer :) "

RE: HEP-B AND POSSIBLE GALLBLADDER PROBLEM

Wed, 16 May 12 10:07:15 -0500

Bill from San Fernando, Philippines writes: "Hi John... Regarding all your problems, Chanca piedra should help to relieve if not help to cure all these problems on its own so I think perhaps that you might not be taking the right dosage of CP with enough frequency. I would advise that you take organic Chanca piedra capsules at 1000 mgs at mealtimes. I would also advise you to buy the organic Chanca piedra tea and drink this as frequently as you like -- there is no known overdose amount for Chanca piedra. Chanca piedra also helps to protect the liver hepatocytes and destroys the Hep B virus by incapacitating its Reverse Transcriptase enzyme -- so that the Hep B virus is unable to reproduce. Chanca piedra is also widely used for kidney stone and gallstone problems and has a much deserved reputation -- Chanca Piedra is also known as \"Stonebreaker\" for good reason. I have read research which has shown that supplementing Chanca piedra can seriously reduce the Hep B viral load in less than a month. But if you don\'t take the right dosage at the right frequency, it might not work so well. Another protocol which will supply higher amounts of anti-oxidants like glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and will also help in the regeneration of Vitamins C, D, A & E specifically for liver support is the following simple protocol: To be taken at lunch and dinner Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 300 mgs twice a day Milk Thistle -- 1000 mgs twice aday Selenium -- 200 mcg twice a day N-Acetyl l-Cysteine(NAC) -- 500 mgs twice a day Chanca piedra -- 1000 mgs at all meals and drink organic Chanca piedra tea frequently throughout the day. The whole point of this protocol(taken with the chanca piedra) is to provide maximum anti-oxidant ammunition to help remove the toxins in your blood, help kill the Hep B virus and to help heal the liver -- all in one relatively easy protocol.

RE: LEFT EYE IS BLURRING

Wed, 16 May 12 09:59:08 -0500

Liz from Boston, Massachusetts writes: "I am close to your age - a couple of years younger, and recently my left eye began blurring a bit as well. I\'m about a month into using Ocuvite and I can\'t say that I\'ve noticed any significant difference in terms of the blurring. The Ocuvite has improved some of the eye floaters that I have - not significantly, but I have noticed there aren\'t quite as many as I had before Ocuvite. I\'m not sure I\'ll buy it again when it runs out (bottle has 50 capsules - one capsule per day), but it certainly wouldn\'t hurt you to try it. It may work better for you than it did for me. Or, perhaps we both need glasses? 8-) "

RE: CANDIDA AND REMEDIES

Wed, 16 May 12 09:55:27 -0500

Bill from San Fernando, Philippines writes: "Hi Cleo... The best protocol for you to follow for the yeast problems is the Iodine Protocol specified here: http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/iprotocol.html The reason you had 84% false normal reading on the iodine loading test is probably because you have excessive bromide in your body. Excessive Bromide hinders the Sodium/Iodine symporters from absorbing iodine -- therefore much more iodine would be excreted, giving the false normal reading. Bromide is also quite difficult to remove from the blood. Bromide detox symptoms can also be strange and disturbing -- and can give further symptoms that range from increasing lethargy and lack of energy, a bitter metalic taste in the mouth etc to skin eruptions, rashes etc from the detox. To avoid these detox problems with the Iodine Protocol and to remove the excess bromide safely, you should also take William Shevin\'s Sea Salt and Water Detox given here -- http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/bromidedetoxsymptomsandstrategies.html At the moment you have said that you have a yeast problem -- but we do not know whether it is a sysemic candida problem or candida problem in the intestines or a yeast problem in the uterus. So the best way to confirm this is to go to a naturopath and let him run the tests for yeast. Also ask him for a hair analysis -- this will tell you what heavy metals and bad halogens you have in excess in your body and will also tell you what mnerals are lacking in your diet. I would also advise that you follow the Anti-Candida Diet given on EC -- paying particular attention to the folowing:- No Sugar --->Sugar feeds yeast Reduce Carbohydrate intake -- Carbs turn into sugars in your body. No Sweeteners --> Just plain bad for you!! No Dairy -- No cheese, milk, yoghurt etc -- Candida and yeast love calcium No junk food No red meat --> Candida loves heme iron Ted from Bangkok has some useful protocols against herpes which are given here: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/genital_herpes.html#TED Ted also has used aspirin and higher dose lysine with vitamin C as a remedy as well: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/genital_herpes_questions.html#Question_3429 Here is an excerpt from Ted: \"The key to aspirin dose is the secret of the dose, frequency, and duration! Will I found them from learning that a virus expands to saturation point in two hours, that was the key. So a remarkably simple protocol for your conditions is aspirin 500 mg powdered, with vitamin C powdered given every hour for four hours, in morning and in evening for 2 days. For someone without any antivirals this will do it. If you have access to antivirals the simplest plan and safer is the second one: lysine 1000 mg, powdered and vitamin C powdered, every hour, four doses one in morning and every hour four doses in the evening. It is done for two days minimum. I prefer 3 days, but 2 days would get your virus down in first day, prevent a reinfection on second day, the third is just to kill the remaining virus. This wouldn\'t require a lot and is convenient. I developed others, but since you tr\"avel, by air it is actually very convenient for a virus to spread in an airplane. Now in case you are interested in a less frequent dose, you must add 1 antiviral which is andrographis paniculata, added to lysine, I think we can get down to 3 doses of lysine, and andrographis is given in the 3rd dose. And one more before you sleep and take this one more day.\" "

LECITHIN AND COCONUT OIL USE

Wed, 16 May 12 09:53:27 -0500

Mikael from Europe writes: "Ah - sth more - * If this Lecithin treatment is taken as per what you said above and any clarifications you\'ll add in additional responses now, would it interfere with consumption of Coconut oil? I. E. , I take a raw virgin coconut oil cure concurrently with the lecithin treatment. Can I throw both into the blender and eat them in the same smoothie, or should I rather try to keep them separate so eat the Lecithin in the morning and the Coconut oil in the evening? Basically it\'s real important that both the Coconut oil and the Lecithin have their full treating effect on me, as the Coconut oil is to kill candida and stuff and the Lecithin would be a detox - both very important, I better alternate weeks or sth if needed, in case they would interfere with each other. * Do you view taking Lecithin rather as a liver detox or as a whole-body detox? Thanks and blessings again :) Mikael "

DETOXING FROM ASPARTAME

Wed, 16 May 12 09:50:19 -0500

Pat from Marion, Wi writes: "After consuming multiple two liter bottles of diet coke daily for 30 years, it was suggested to me that my pain symptoms could be aspartame poisoning. I quit dc within a day and for a while everything was improving... My mind was clearer, the pins and needles in my face are gone, I could stand longer, and I could go on. However, two weeks into detox and I am having serious muscle spasms, confusion, and red ant sting after effects in my legs. I must say that my desire for real food is coming back. I do have two questions: 1) Are there any recommendations besides a good multiple vitamin and 2) how long does withdrawal take? "

L-ASPARTIC ACID VS. ASPARTAME

Wed, 16 May 12 09:47:05 -0500

Mary from Portland, Or writes: "Hi, I looked at the AlacerCorp website FAQ about Emergen-C, and it claims this:

Is aspartic acid the same as aspartame?

No, aspartame is a chemically formed sugar substitute that bonds L-phenylalanine to aspartic acid. On the other hand, the aspartic acid which we use in Emergen-C, is an amino acid readily found in foods such as fish, legumes, dairy, whole grains, eggs, meats, nuts, and seeds. We use this pure L-Aspartic Acid which has the same structure as that found in foods. I just wanted to throw this out for discussion. The claim above makes it sound like there is nothing to fear from the form of L-Aspartic acid they use, but I\'d be interested in hearing more perspectives on this, as I do take Emergen-C. Thanks! "

RE: SYMPTOMS POSSIBLY SYSTEMIC CANDIDA

Tue, 15 May 12 23:55:45 -0500

Bill from San Fernando, Philippines writes: "Hi Tony... I think the protocol you are on is a good one. The best thing is just to settle into the protocol and see how you progress. In answer to some of your remarks: BTW, I didn\'t get the Lugol\'s Iodine solution. I got another brand name from a local health food store. It wasn\'t a cheap brand either. My guess is that you bought the nascent or magnescent iodine form. This is OK, but I don\'t think these forms are as good as Lugol\'s Iodine. Lugol\'s Iodine contains Potassium Iodide(KI), molecular iodine(I2)and water. KI is an anti-oxidant and molecular iodine is a pro-oxidant and so the iodide/iodine mixture reacts towards an equilibrium state this way: Iodide plus iodine ==>Triiodide I - plus I2 ==> I3- So Lugol\'s contains the iodide, molecular iodine and triiodide forms -- three forms of iodine which are all individually very useful. However, nascent and magnescent forms contain just contain the triiodide form -- which is why they are not as good as lugol\'s. For instance the nascent and magnascent forms will not be able to chelate cadmium, aluminium, lead, mercury, arsenic etc like the lugol\'s form. But the nascent form is certainly the most bio-available form of iodine and is absorbed very quickly into the body. I don\'t think this is such a b ig deal though -- since you are already using green tea, chlorella etc to remove the heavy metals in your body anyway. One other thing, I\'ve lost around 20 pounds since late January My experience is that there are two identifiable physical stages to systemic candida -- and they are confusing. First there is the gaining weight stage which is caused by metabolic upsets and poor fat handling which, in turn, may be caused by the candida and associated bacteria. Second is the rapid weight loss stage -- which may be caused by digestive problems and acid body. Candida aflatoxins make the body acid and when this reaches a certain stage -- and the body cannot cope using its normal homeostasis mechanisms in support of healthy pH levles -- the body then reverts to stealing protein from the tissues and stealing calcium from the bones to help alkalize the blood to maintain the body\'s proper pH support levels. Hence the rapid weight loss. So amino acids(proteins) are robbed from the tissues and converted to ammonia and calcium is stolen from the bones to also help alkalize the body. This body wasting is a dangerous problem stage in candida because the body obviously cannot do this forever. It is therefore imperative and a priority that you do the following. * Alkalize, alkalize, alkalize!! You must use both the lime/lemon or ACV remedies as well as the BS and water remedy. * Take betaine hydrochloride tablets and pancreatin enzymes (with bile is OK) at mealtimes to address any digestion issues. * Use the Milk of Magnesia as a laxative as I have already advised. This will remove the candida biofilms quickly and will therefore help to make intestinal digestion and absorption of nutrients more efficient. * Eat more proteins in the form of white meat like chicken or fish. You must increase your protein intake. Or, if you prefer, you can buy Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) from a weight training shop or health shop and increase your protein intake that way. "

BANANA PEEL FOR PLANTAR WARTS

Tue, 15 May 12 23:23:40 -0500

[YEA] Agatha from Davisville, Wv, usa writes: "IT REALLY WORKS!!!! My daughter 9yrs old had a planter wart on her foot, had them frozen a couple times, never worked. Then 6 months later all of these little warts started to pop up on both of her feet (cluster warts). Took her to the doctor they sent me to a specialist. They were going to put a needle in every wart she had , horified of the thought. She gave two other options freezing again, and another treatment that would also cause blistering. Well I left to get a perscription as a plan B option and it was going to cost $400 and with insurance to cover some- no thanks. So I have been reading all the statements about the banana peel on this web site so I tried it what would it hurt. I was amazed of the results within three days the warts were turning black and starting to shrink and fall out within 10 days of putting a green banana peel with white surgical tape every night and taken off in the mornings they were gone. I just wish doctors would let you know that there can be a natural way to get rid of warts. I also gave her vitamin D3 for children to help increase immune system. Thank you!!!! "

RE: GUIDANCE NEEDED ON RHODIOLA FOR STRESS AND DEPRESSION

Tue, 15 May 12 23:05:38 -0500

Debbie from Melbourne, Australia writes: "Bruce, also remember that cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body, so lots of organic green juices. No sugar, because cancer feeds on sugar. No meat because it is acidic. No processed foods. Also a book I am reading at the moment by Dr. H. E. Kirschner (\"Live Juices\") speaks of the amazing properties of carrots. This was written in about 1959 and says even back then food was losing its nutritional value. He says the way to get nutrition into the body is via juicing. He says that in the past carrots were known as an antiseptic in the body. They clear up toxins in the body and heal it. He cited some people in the book (with photographs) who were on nothing but a carrot juice diet (not even water) for sometimes over 12 months and they cured their cancers. They ate or drank nothing else. A baby who was born with leukemia drank nothing but carrot juice for the first three months of his life to no ill effect. One little boy was 2 1/2 and for 2 years had nothing but carrots. His transformation in the photos was amazing. Organic carrots would be the best of course. Funny, none of them turned orange (like we have been led to believe by eating too many carrots!! ). All the best "

KOMBUCHA SCOBY FOR SEVERE CRADLE CAP

Tue, 15 May 12 22:54:20 -0500

Christi from Little Rock, Arkansas writes: "My son had terrible cradle cap that went from his eyebrows straight back to the crown of his head. It was terribly thick and crusty. Everytime I would wash it off it would be back by the next morning. I tried olive oil, coconut oil, Oil of Oregano, Apple Cider Vinegar etc. With no avail. It then occured to me that perhaps Kombucha\'s acidity and probiotics might help. So the next bath I washed of the cradle cap secretions and put a fresh kombucha scoby on top of his head and left it there for 10 or 15 minutes, then rinsed his head with water. The next morning his head was smooth and shiny bald (the cradle cap was retarding hair growth). The cradle cap was completely gone and two months later it is still gone, replaced with a headful of hair and an impeccably healthy scalp! "

GENITAL HERPES REMEDIES WHILE TREATING CANDIDA

Tony from Church Hill, Tn, Usa writes: "Bill, I forgot to ask you something about another condition I have. I contracted genital herpes back in 1994. I\'ve never been on any prescription meds for this condition. Up until last year, my outbreaks were 1-3 per year. Last year, I had 6 outbreaks that were worse & this was another sign my immune system was weakened. I\'ve looked at some of the remedies for genital herpes but don\'t know what I should do while on this candida protocol in which I take lots of different things anyhow. I used to take L-Lysine at times for genital herpes but it upset my stomach most of the time. I noticed the Olive Leaf treatment along with the zinc supplemention. Which method(s) should I go to try & cure my genital herpes as well? I\'m sure my genital herpes has played a role as well in the current condition of my body. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Bill! Thanks again! "

CLOVE OIL FOR SCABIES

Tue, 15 May 12 22:39:57 -0500

[YEA] Genevieve From West Coast, Usa from Yachats, Oregon writes: "Folks, this is the answer to your prayers! CLOVE OIL. Over the course of a year I tried many of the suggestions on this site for ridding myself of scabies. The winner is: 3/4 tsp clove oil mixed with 4 TBS olive oil (Be careful: I made a too-potent blend and burned my skin, and the healing process was maybe even worse than the scabies! But at the 6% ratio I note above, I had no problem.) I followed the protocols suggested in many of the postings here for laundry, bedding, bathing and general disinfecting. MMS bath 3x/day, followed by application of the clove/olive oil mixture (I also used almond and coconut oils). Apply it ALL over your body, even if you only see signs of scabies on your arm, e.g. also, I used a Q-tip and applied the undiluted oil directly onto the \"bump\" (I didn\'t put the undiluted oil on my uninfested skin). I had scabies for over a year and by the time I tuned in to clove oil, they ranged from my ankles up to my chin! (I don\'t suppose details of my long mind-deranging ordeal are necessary, just imagine.) If you want more information re the protocols I used (and helpful info from others), you can find them on Amazon.com under \"Dermisil for Scabies, \" 3-star review by Jennifer. As you might guess, I am not recommending this product, but it\'s where I first started out and because scabies are sooo horrible, I gave as much info as I could during my ordeal in order to be helpful to others.

SJOGREN\'S AND REMEDIES

Karlapep from Mandeville, La writes: "I am having difficulty and really desperate for help at this point. Have had digestion problems (nausea, stomach ache, bubble-in-chest feeling, just to name a few), all growing slowly but steadily for the past year. In addition, for the past 6 months I have had dry mouth, sometimes severe and sometimes goes away for a few hours during the day but always seems to return not long after I put anything in my stomach. Now even water affects me to varying degrees. Naturopath did bloodwork last week for thyroid panel testing and awaiting the results since I suspect this could be the cause of slow digestion and hence the dry mouth. I\'ve also been tested for Sjogren\'s which came back negative, but primary physician feels I should still see a rheumatologist to get further feedback. I\'d rather be hypothyroid instead of having Sjogrens for sure, but if not my thyroid at the root of all of this (I have classic symptoms, female 57 with thinning hair, cold all the time, dry skin and mouth, pale, sparse outer eyebrows, plus I have ALWAYS gotten a red patch right over my thyroid and surrounding area for as long as I could remember. Lasts for 30 minutes then goes away with no rhyme or reason). But if not thyroid issue, I feel like this is something else affecting my gut causing ALL the symptoms, and not necessarily Sjogren\'s. Have had testing for diabetes, gall bladder, etc. , and all stellar. TSH testing alone was over 3, normal by my regular PCP\'s standards, but naturopath tells me she is concerned with anything over 2 so she ordered the complete panel as well as nutritional panel to check for vitamin deficiencies. Also did an iodine loading test after I read on this site that deficiency can cause dry mouth. Mine was 84% however lab tells me that this is quite impossible for someone who has never eaten seafood and does not take iodine supplementation to come back with such a decent score, that I must have some type of symporter issue with iodine absorption, to take iodine for 3 months and get retested. OK, all that said. Here are my questions: I\'ve read Dr. Brownstein\'s book on the need for iodine. Will iodine work for me even if I do not take thyroid meds (if that is the cause of the dry mouth/digestion issues), and if so, what dose iodine should I be taking? Does anyone have any insight or experience with that iodine symporter issue hindering absorption? Could some type of bacteria in my intestinal tract, stomach or small intestine be causing all this discomfort and dry mouth? If so, how can I treat this? Anyone who can lend some insight or alternate ideas will be most appreciated. Like I said, I am quite desperate for answers at this time. "

I know you said previously that higher doses of iodine would help with my prostate issues as well. BTW, I didn\'t get the Lugol\'s Iodine solution. I got another brand name from a local health food store. It wasn\'t a cheap brand either. One other thing, I\'ve lost around 20 pounds since late January. That\'s even with me eating 3 meals per day along with one snack meal most days. The candida must be causing nutrient deficieny/malabsorption. It\'s not been a rapid weight loss at all but a slow progression of weight loss. I assume once I get this candida under control my weight will begin to increase again. I weigh 155lbs. Right now but was around 175 before getting really sick. I\'ll post back in a few days with my progress. Thanks again for your kind help! "

It all started more than 2 years ago when I unconsciously took these slimming pills (Containing Sibutramine) since I was desperately wanting to lose weight after the birth of my son. I started having symptoms the next day: insomnia, nausea, then the 2nd day started having burning sensation in my mouth, rapid heartbeats, and then I started developing little white thing in my tongue along with fissures in it. My friend who was taking it too said that they will fade, but they didnt, and after 2 weeks I just stopped them. After 2 months I still had burning feeling in my mouth, sore throats, and horrible taste in my mouth, not to mention how dry it got. Yes, it was only 2 weeks that I took those pills. I was taking them first thing in the morning, 1 pill, before breafast, that would be 1 hour before breakfast. I was a mess! I saw a Gastro who did an endoscopy and was diagnosed with GERD and a small hiatal hernia. Was put on Nexium. Then saw an ENT to get another opinion, was changed to Paried and Nasonex spray on nose, and was told in 6 months I would be back to normal. No, this didnt happen. I then got so desperate and started to search for cures. I got to check my thyroid which was all normal, then was sent to a joints doc because they suspected I might have Sjogern syndrome, which the dermatologist ruled out. I then had another endoscopy 2 years after and also was told I had acidity in my stomach and a very small hiatal hernia, was put on PPI again, but I didnt want to take them because of the side effects I read. I checked my Vit B and all normal, specially Vit B 12. I tried to make colon cleanse, but nothing happened. I also tried probiotics, aloe vera, but I just keep on looking for something else to cure me. I am desperate and so sad about all this. I am a 30 year old woman, married with a 3 year old son, who is planning to get pregnant again but just cant seem to settle in relation to my health I dont feel I want to get pregnant now. I also want to add that I have taken Zoloft for 6 months because I developed PPD. My current symptoms are: rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, sore and red throats (I feel they get worse when I am nervous), fissures in my tongue (I was told by a dentist that I have geographic tongue, how can I have this 28 years after I was born? and it hurts! ), I have dry sticky mouth, it tastes bad once I wake up, I have burning sensation in my mouth, I also feel I get burning sensation in my stomach sometimes, I suffer from indigestion, and dry skin, I am always tense and nervous, I worry too much about everything its so bad! Some doctors have told me its in my head, but I dont know what to think? they say if I let it go I will cure myself, they say I am stressed out, I also want to add that I am always tired, I have zero libido, and that used to motivate me doesnt anymore. I get nervous easily, and sounds make me nervous, even music, repeated sound, and TV makes me nervous sometimes I go insane.. Ted, I trust you. Please help me. how can I get back to normal?

I took 2 of albaplex and 2 arginex and 1 cranberry complex every few hours and got relief within 3 dosages. Arginex is made of buckwheat And beet product and helps detox the kidneys and flush out the bladder when they are overloaded. Cranberry helps flush out the bacteria but you should not drink the juice unless it\'s pure and not loaded with sugar to feed infections. It is probable that diabetes plays a role in your chronic bladder infection as uncontrolled blood sugar feeds infection as well As a number of other issues but diabetes is very common. Good luck. "

I used a makeup remover pad, cut a piece the size of her bump, dipped it in ACV and put on the bump. I covered it with a waterproof bandage (sticks on all 4 sides, keeps the ACV pad in place) overnight. After 3 nights of treatment, the MC bumps were scabbed over, the ACV also damages the healthy skin around the MC so I was going to take a break from applying the ACV and 2 days later the scabs came off by themselves and the MC was completely gone!

Bill from San Fernando, Philippines writes: "Hi Tony... I forgot to address the individual issues that you are having. This will help you to understand your own problems and perhaps help you more to comprehend the protocols you are taking. Ever since the hospitalization I now suffer from hypertension issues... Both lugol\'s iodine and higher dose B3(taken with B50 Complex) are already in the Anti-Candida protocols. Dr Abram Hoffer, an orthomolecular doctor and researcher, found that iodine and niacin together when taken at higher dosage -- called iodo-niacin in the old days -- had wonderful effects on lowering blood pressure, balancing HDL and LDL and reducing arteriosclerosis, reducing depression and reducing various neuropathic problems. Vitamin B3 also has considerable beneficial effect on the CNS, digestion, heart and liver when taken in the higher dose. Just type \"Hoffer niacin\" in Google Search for all the evidence. Niacin is a good one(I take it) but you can also use the flushless niacinamide form as well as another slower time release form of niacin called inositol hexanicotinate. You will also find that taking niacin this way will help to relax you. That\'s been my own experience with B3. Niacin should always be taken after meals. So if you take the lugols iodine with the B3 and magnesium everyday(as recommended in the protocols) -- your panic attacks should also be greatly reduced. On the 4th day I started having difficulty swallowing, swollen glands in my neck, & pain/discomfort in upper chest... Rather than use the tongue scraping, which will not get rid of the candida in the mouth, I would simply use 1% to 3% Hydrogen Peroxide as a mouthwash three times a day. This will be more effective in killing the candida in the mouth region. You can also use it as a gargle to help your throat issues. For your lung issues you can perhaps use 1% HP in a spray or nebulized form to rid these issues as recommended on EC. I also sniff and inhale the lugol\'s iodine if I feel that lung or nose problems may be forthcoming and it usually works to stop problems arising in both the nose and lungs. Lugol\'s Iodine constantly sublimates or vaporizes so if you sniff inhale this into your lungs a few times a day and every day for about ten minutes or so then this should slowly help to heal and lessen any lung/nose problems. Hopefully this post will help you to understand that the anti-candida protocols recommended here also address many other issues that can also be involved when people have serious candida issues. "

RE: SYMPTOMS POSSIBLY SYSTEMIC CANDIDA

Mon, 14 May 12 22:22:54 -0500

Bill from San Fernando, Philippines writes: "Hi Cindy... That\'s a really good question that you have asked. Yes, it\'s one thing to advise this and that for remedies, but it would also be very useful to describe how to actually take the protocols -- the dos and donts -- so here goes -- I\'ll just describe how to take the dosages from my preferred regimen in this post stream above: Lugol\'s Iodine -- Always taken on its own -- with nothing else -- with water in split doses, four times a day, because it is so active. The whole point of this is to get as much of the iodine into the blood as possible to systemically kill the candida and other pathogens. I always take lugols iodine outside mealtimes because more is absorbed into the body this way. When you start to take the iodine -- remember the maxim -- Start Small and Go Slow and work up to your maximum dose that way. Baking Soda and Water: A much maligned and belittled remedy and people dont seem to like taking this one very much. But anyone with serious candida issues should be taking this remedy constantly -- with no argument. This remedy helps to kill the candida and also helps to resolve digestive issues a well as alkalizing the intestines and blood. This protocol is an essential part of the anti-candida protocols. Never taken at mealtimes. Lemon/Lime with BS or ACV with BS and water - These alkalize the intracellular environment and are also an essential part of the anti-candida remedies. Should be taken two or three times a day outside mealtimes. Borax or Sodium Tetraborate - The ultimate fungal killer which also helps to detox and remove fluoride from the body as well as helping to balance the hormones in the body. Borax can also be mixed in and taken with the above alkalizing remedies without problems. Normally taken outside mealtimes. Body Terrain Support Nutrients -- These are also very important supportive nutrients for the body which also help to address other metabolic issues such as malabsorbtion problems, vitamins, mineral balance etc. And some might also notice that every single one of these advised nutrients are usually the ones that are sadly lacking in all our diets -- so part of the reason we contract candida and get ill is actually because of a chronic lack of body nutrients in the first place which weakens our immune system over time to allow pathogen invasion into our bodies. Liver Support Nutrients(ALA, Milk Thistle, Selenium, NAC, Chanca Piedra) -- always taken together at mealtimes for best effect(Chanca Piedra can also be taken as a tea). Usually supplemented because of insufficient liver problems or heavy die-off or detox reaction causing problems or because of a damaged liver. Usually, when you have candida, it is also necessary to detox heavy metals from the body and there are many ways to do this (heavy metals in the body are a prime cause of candida). Iodine is a good heavy metal detoxer. 10% Sodium Thiosulfate or chlorella or kelp are also good ones. Just eating cilantro three times a week in salads and drinking green tea every day wiill also be effective in cleansing the body of heavy metals by way of diet. What might also help you is if you look in the Remedy Combinations section of EC and read Ted from Bangkok\'s recommendations. "

Mon, 14 May 12 22:20:46 -0500

Bill from San Fernando, Philippines writes: "Hi Tony... The other nutrients that I advised in my previous post were only options which would speed up removing the candida and perhaps give you a softer landing from the die-off and detox effects. For sodium molybdate, the only source I can advise is for you to look for it on the internet. This is one of the reasons I don\'t normally advise SM in the protocol -- because it is so hard to find. The 500 mcg molybdenum dose should suffice because both the alkalizing (particularly the simple baking soda and water mix) as well as taking lugol\'s iodine also helps to disrupt the biofilms as well. To help get rid of the excess mucus problem(and biofilms), it might be useful to take Milk of Magnesia as a laxative once a week or once a month. This will remove the excess mucus in the intestines fairly quickly and help to remove the biofilms quickly too. This is perhaps a harsher regimen but it works in three ways. First, the high alkalinity of MoM will help to remove the biofilms. Secondly, the high alkalinity of MoM will also kill the candida and thirdly, being laxative, both the candida and toxins will be excreted from the body fairly quickly(and are not absorbed into the body). This is quite a harsh way of doing it and the decision to use MoM like this is really yours. You will have to take minerals and drink plenty of water after the laxative effects of MoM to ensure proper electrolytic mineral balance in the body. You are taking a liquid multi anyway so this shouldn\'t be a problem. "

I had used a myriad of corticosteroids, which never cured, and did, at best, a decent job of treating redness. Eventually, the SD went away from my face (to later colonize my scalp and ears). But it was quite a releif to have a clear face through my teen years, and into my early 20s. Now, at 23, I broke out with PD all around my nose. Like many of you, I had just used my corticosteroid cream from my SD for my face... Bad, bad idea. I had been battling the redness with my creams for a month, until a couple days ago my face got much, much worse. The dermo had told me to stop using my SD creams, and prescribed me something ... A concoction of topical antibacterials or antifungals... I\'m not sure, I never bothered to pick it up from the drugstore. I hate dermos and their never-ending creams and stuff that is expensive and doesn\'t work. :( I found this site and I\'m so thankful I did. Its been 2.5 days now, and my severe PD rash is still there, but VERY mild in comparison, the skin is smooth, and makeup will easily hide the redness. Here\'s what I did: Apple Cider Vinegar, diluted equal parts water. I used the cheap ACV I had in my pantry. Its Heinz, so I doubt its \"with mother\" but it worked anyways. The first day, I really went at it with the ACV. Every 2 hours or so I\'d dab a cotton ball or swab into the ACV and water, and dab it on the PD. At first it stings a lot, but it gets better. I also took some biotin supplements that\'d I\'d bought months ago, just for kicks, but I doubt that it contributed significantly to my results. The second day I started putting aloe vera on my PD once the ACV had dried up. I probably only applied it 2-3 times. Today, I woke up and there was MUCH less redness. There was a considerable amount of flakes attached though. A cotton swab, gently rubbing it while applying the ACV really helped. The skin underneath is a bit pinky, but the inflammation is seriously, considerably less. The margins of the PD have been reduced also. I\'m SO happy!!!! I bet that by the end of the week it will be barely visible. I\'m so impressed! Thanks everyone!! "

Better yet would be Pythagorean tuning in 432, if you have an instrument which allows for using different temperments. So, if your guitar tuner can go down to 432, I say do it! I have yet to meet a person who prefers 440 over 432. Personally, as a musician, it has been one of the greatest findings of my life. Go ahead and listen to some of your favorite songs in 432 (many of which are on YouTube), and you\'ll love it. I could write about this forever but I\'ll let you all do your own research.

The videos are very telling as to what is happening in the medical world. You need the original Rene Case Essiac Tea. When you take the tea the tumor will go slightly bigger and turn hard as it is healing and then go. She could also take comfrey leaves and roots in a tea.

I was relly feeling bad after nigt of heavy drinking and few days later ended up to see a doctor. He recomended blood test that show Hep B positive Here are results: Hep B positive Core negative Hep B Ag negative Hep B AB positive My viral load is 2 million but alt ast gg bilburin and all other enzymes are just fine. Doctor told me no medication is necessary and I am to see him every 3 months. I have start taking special tea and nose drops from Europe, that claim to have me free of virus in 15 months. My only concern is a little pain from time to time in my belly-liver maybe that is causing discomfort. When I take Chanca Piedra pain stops for few hours. I have pain on my right chest side that wont go away and originates from the beginning of my problem. I burp and pass air more often. Do you think I may have problem with my gallbladder? Also any other recommendations? Thanks, John "

Below is everything I did... 1) Probiotic foods including suaerkrauet, kimchi, kombucha, kefir several times daily. 2) ACV Raw with mother 2 tablespoon in warm water 5-6 times daily. 3) Manuka honey 1 tablespoon 3-4 times daily. 4) Himalayan sea salt 2 tablespoon in 1/2 cup water. Mix and swallow. You may feel nauseus as you do this, don\'t smell, just gulp and swallow. I did this twice daily. If you have high blood pressure you may want to avoid vast amounts of sodium FYI. 5) Oil of oregano good quality supplements. 6) Olive leaf extract good quality supplements. 7) Renew life company in Canada makes a probiotic specific to these needs, please google, call them and they will guide you. 8) Cranberry sauce several times daily. If this doesnt shift things please follow up with chiropracter or acupuncturist. Constant bladder infections do lead to cancer so don\' take this lightly. If you are open to energy healing, the most proficient healing protocol in my opinion and experience is \'pranic healing\'. Google it, you can find folks who can do this on you long distance and it has helped me tremendously. Goodluck, T "

REMEDIES REDUCED NEED FOR NEBULIZER/ INHALER

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] Vania from Clarksville, Tn, Usa writes: "I am nearly 43 years old, and I\'m a lifelong asthmatic. Instead of \"growing out of it\", I\'ve had to endure increased asthma problems during adulthood. My situation has worsened again because I got the flu about 5 years ago, and I have severe acid reflux. I get bronchitis very regularly, and when I haven\'t been diagnosed with it, I still don\'t breathe freely. Approximately 3 months ago, one of my mother\'s friends recommended remedies, from a popular home shopping network, for Acid Reflux. The main remedies are: CoQ10 and N-Acetyl Cysteine. I started taking 4 CoQ10 (100 mg capsules) and 4 NAC (500 mg capsules) in the morning. I usually take the NAC once or twice again during the day. They did not stop my Acid Reflux, but they did greatly reduce my asthma symptoms. For real. I ran out of the very expensive CoQ10 once, so I bought a less expensive brand at my local mega-market (yes, that one), which worked just as well. During the 3 months that I\'ve been taking these two remedies, I\'ve only used my nebulizer once (before, I used it 4 times/day), and my inhalers approximately 4 times. I haven\'t used inhalers in about 3 weeks. That is progress. I\'m not touting these supplements as a cure, because I have to keep taking them to get the benefits. That\'s fine with me. Every day, I\'m shocked and delighted to be breathing freely! "

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR FOR KIDS\' WARTS

Mon, 14 May 12 09:11:26 -0500

[YEA] Kaz from Launceston, Tasmania writes: "I\'ve used ACV for both my children with warts on their feet. Currently I am treating my son, with two planter warts on each of his big toes. They have been there for a while, and all of a sudden became quite uncomfortable for him to walk and wear shoes. All I do with the ACV is use a cotton bud and soak the tip with the ACV and then just rub the wart and make sure it\'s nice and wet. I do it just before bedtime and we just wait for it to dry and off to bed he goes. We tried putting something over it in the beginning, but he was too stressed about it all. So the process I use now doesn\'t bother him at all, except the smell, but because I\'m only using a cotton bud you can\'t smell it for long. It is working quite well, within a day the warts had risen in height, and it didn\'t take too long for the centre to go black. Depending on the age of your children and their temperament, this might be the best way to go, it may take longer, but it is less of a process for the child. Give it a go, I\'ve used the pharmacy stuff and that didn\'t even do anything, but make us feel sick everytime we had the lid off. I\'m not a greeny by any means, but will try anything that is simple and easy and of course WORKS...... "

Then this morning I woke up with a kind of heavy head like it wanted to just fall forward and somewhat different feeling in my neck. The only thing I\'ve added to my healthy diet is wheatgrass smoothies but that can\'t be it surely, though they both started happening at the same time. It\'s not overtaking my day, I can get by without thinking of it most of the time and it doesn\'t wake me but what would make teeth hurt if it\'s not infection?

The tremor started just a few months before moving into a house that we built. At the time we had a 3 and 4 year old, I was working and we were building a house. Yes, lots of stress. We are on well water. We have had the well tested for safety, but I honestly don\'t remember the predominant metals in the water. Our toilet tanks get coated w/ a rust colored element. The water in this area is known for being \"good\", but really I need to check into this more. I have seen several doctors and have tried; cold laser therapy, acupuncture, Vit B shots, Oats drops in warm water, a homeopathic remedy w/ octupus ink in it, massage, and a couple of medications perscribed by a neurologist - both of which were horrible - made me sleepy. I am not a fan of taking medication, so am looking for other ideas. I have even considered the brain surgery, but it really isn\'t something that I would ever want to do at this point.

I couldn\'t find anything locally even close to that dosage or even the direct name of your suggested product. I tried several stores. Some stores had no clue as to what I was asking for. I went ahead & bought the 500 mcg dosage of the molybdenum. The bromelain & papaya wasn\'t a problem at all. Got them both from a local pharmacy.
