However the threat of catching something on fire by giving a cigarette and lighter to an Alzheimer patient would not make cigarette smoking a good idea. I want to say that Gavin is correct, absolutely, that nicotine can be helpful for this illness. This has been studied for quite a while, and I can provide a link for an example. It will be hard to read for many, as it is in research and scientific jargon, and describes each step of experiments with animals, including rats. The potential for using nicotine for several illnesses where there has been a "slowing down" of brain function is discussed in clear enough terms, knowing that nAChR is nicotine receptor site in brain cells, and CNR is central nervous system. It does state IMO my interpretation, that they need to come up with "new" nicotine drugs, simply because medical science would be too embarrassed to simply use what is already available after all the extreme negativism regarding nicotine already "out there. " I see this as shameful delay just to save face, when there are persons who need this help now. I would strongly suggest you attempt to read, or have a sympathetic and not brainwashed rabidly anti-nicotine scientist friend (if there are any others like me left) to read and interpret this for you. You will want to buy a nicotine patch for your loved one to assist his/her brain with more clarity. The link is from 2000, so as soon as the PTB make all smokers die or quit, or throw them in jail and cigarettes and patches no longer available, you will see brand new "medicines" for Alzheimers, Parkinson's, Tourettes, ADD, schitzophrenia, and other diseases which meds are basically just nicotine gum or patch repackaged and much more expensive... Or perhaps they will really make something else from cotenine or nicotine, and call it "safer" while failing to eliminate newer horrid side effects much worse than what is already extant today. If you are brainwashed to be anti nicotine so much that you won't even try this, you need to think more about the money Big Pharma stands to make by coming out with great "new therapies" for each of all these illnesses. What does your loved one have to lose from a nicotine patch at this point, when some level of clarity and memory might be gained? I hope this helps someone out there. www.acnp.org/G4/gn401000009/default.htm " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/pterygium.html&name=RN_71702 /CURES/pterygium.html2 Sun, 12 Feb 12 22:19:22 -0600 Farrlinn from Long Beach, Ca writes: "Hi, I wanted to know if the Castor Oil is still working for you?

Always tired and sleeping approximately 16 to 18 hours in a 24 hour period. I often complained to my doctor about it. Had blood work done and I seemed to be very healthy. One day after telling one of my neighbors she mentioned that I could have sleep apnea. Long story short, I did have sleep apnea and my blood reading for B12 was extremely low and needed to go on weekly shots. They were extremely painful for me. After complaining about the pain, they came out with B12 in tablets at 1200 micro grams. I now take these and I am a normal human being again. But the thing is sleep apnea can cause you to have a stroke. So do go see your doctor and ask him for a B12 blood test. It should be at the very lowest 140. I was at 110. Also get checked out for sleep apnea. You cannot overdose with B12 at 1200mcg. You will pass all exess in your urine.

I have found that it simply means that your body wants you to slow down and don't rush through life. For falls, I have found that Arnica Montana (a homopathic remedy) really works. You put 5 tiny tablets under your tongue. But on condition that you take it at the time or close to the time of the fall. My 85 year old mum, sisters, friends and I carry it every where we go. It has been a life saver on many an occasion - and normally I take it that one time or if there is an ailment that requires a little more help, I take it for 3 days 3x a day. It can be quite costly $7.99 a tube but worth every bit of it. The Arnica 200 is about $9.99 and it is for more severe mishaps. It helps your body as it goes through any trauma (it help speed my recovery when I was in a car wreck). Also helps my family sleep on sleepless nights. It is a wonderful thing. I drink noni juice for pain - it really works if you keep up with it and will help your arthritic problems. I also take ____, a natural antiinflammatory - you can purchase it at Whole Food Stores or any health food store. It has rosemary, turmeric, ginger, Holy basil, green tea, Hu Zhuang, Chinese Goldthread, Barberry, oregano and Baikal Skullcap in it. I take it 2x a day in between meals to help the body get rid of the inflammation. The pain is there because your body wants you to attend to the problem and it is reminding you to take extra precautions. What a great doctor our body is. Arthritis, heart problems, cancer and diabetes amongst other ailments is caused by inflammation and you need to take anti inflammatory. Hope this helps.

(Neither did my wife. ) But in the last couple of years the white patches came out on my fingers and hands. They grew until they covered, say, 1/4 of my hand area. After some research I got a copper bracelet with strong little magnets implanted. Cost about $25. My white patches started filling in with my normal skin tone. It was fairly quick, but also very gradual. About 6 weeks after wearing my bracelet, one of my students blurted out (in the middle of a lesson) "What happened to your hands! ?" She meant, where did the white patches go? Three months on, and my hands (and privates) are normally pigmented. Also, my blood pressure is lower. And my arthritis is about 97% better. Copper deficiency seems to have been the problem. Absorption through the skin was my solution. Vitiligo can be a blessing because copper deficiency can also result in higher risk of stroke, so I'm glad to have found the problem and dealt with it early. 25 bucks, cheap!

I would suggest doing this if you are using your urine. Secondly, there is a possibility that alternating some of the more successful methods here may help. There is no reason that ACV couldn't be used for several days then another for several then back to ACV, plus use the OTC ointment, alternating with Vicks, or other by night. Just don't mix bleach and ammonia, a poisonous gas results. Thirdly, I read on another site that corn meal helped. Fourthly, get rid of your shoes, buy new, and treat the new shoes before wearing and then daily. The fungal spores are in your shoes, and are really as hard to kill there as the fungus on your feet, so you reinfect by using your old shoes. If freezing killed fungus it would be gone forever after a winter freeze. Expensive, but necessary, I would think. Please do not wash dishes in a dishwasher you have washed your fungal shoes in: fungi are hard to kill, one time with hot water and steam and dishwasher soap might not be enough either, or might not get deep inside the nasty shoe well enough to kill every spore.

I am sure there may be a case or two where people just give up, and their symtoms over take them, I've seen that. But to link one set of symptoms only on one disease, and not conclude that there could be other factors or diseases at work is incorrect to do. It is misleading. It looks like Alzheimers can also be caused by our environmental factors of what our diets are, our nutrition, vitamins and suppliments. Even though Alzhemimer's has everything to do with memory and loss of, and there are great emotions, I don't think your conclusions hold water. I don't think dominate people won't get it vs. dominated people will get it. This is just not relevant in the world of Alzheminer's. What you are seeing is what you want to pick out and try to make work, but it isn't there. There are many domintate individuals who have gotten it. For example. My grandmother.

So the clue and cure for all disease is to alkalize the body. Bathe in Epsom salt and baking soda. Drink baking soda and eat lots of raw green foods as salads, green vegetable juice and drink huge amounts of alkaline water. Read the book, the Ph miracle and the book We Beat Cancer. We studied with the doctor who wrote the first book and cured the couple that wrote the second book. We cured my own lymphatic cancer. If you want to remain young and healthy eat raw with lots of green and less fruit. Cancer loves sugar. There are good substitutes for baking soda such as ph salts.

So much that I had been told through out my life in way of pain had ended up as being major, (Heart area pain ended up being large hole in my heart, being found after stroke at age 40). So I started the quest and didn't let the Drs. say relax. I finally had a colonoscopy to find I had kinks in my colon, and really needed to stop all fiber, and drink the Mi_____x once a day because of how kinked up I was. He was shocked because it was so difficult to do the colonoscopy. My pain was from not emptying properly. I thought I was, but guess I wasn't. Now I don't do it like I'm told to. And the other day, I forgot and for two days ate oatmeal. I ended up writhing in pain on the floor of Hobby Lobby. The pain didn't subside for 10-15 min. My husband, an EMT was so worried, but I had realized what I had done. I went home and started a double dose, for 2 days, and then single dose for 2. I thinks I'll try 1/2 dose every day.

Doctors are great for broken bones, cuts, and mechanical injuries but for infection and internal illness they are far more often than not harmful and you end up healing in spite of them. Antibiotics only harm the body and are not needed. There are other natural ways to prevent infection and reverse infection in the body that work as good as, if not better than, pharmaceuticals. Most people eat so poorly that their bodies cannot fight infection properly. However if one has a diet based upon the primal way of eating, stays organic, and eats raw as often as possible they can (and have over and over) cured themselves naturally without any prescription drugs. The body will heal itself even of dead tissue without a doctor ripping it out of you. If one disagrees with this it is only because of deep conditioning from their past. Learn all you can about natural cures. Look at all sources and come to your own conclusions. Stay natural it will work.

The knee would give out while walking unexpectedly, eventually leading to his death. His knee gave out one day, he fell, fractured his back, was given Oxycodine, became immoble from the strength of the drug, developed pneumonia & died. Granted this was an extreme combination of events but his life insurance policy that ONLY paid out in the case of accidental death was fully convinced that he died as a result of the fall, which related back to the faulty knee replacement. Sorry for the long post but even agter 12 years it's upsetting that this happened to my Dad. He was into health before it became common. He walked hours every days for his entire life and began each day with healthy eating & exercise. He would have loved this site and all of you who share their experiences to help each other.

Quite a while back I realized that after I stopped eating MSG for a month or so - if I ate at Arby's - the roast beef in their sandwich had so much MSG in it that it actually made the tip of my tongue hurt! Funny, I had never noticed it before. The web said that Arby's took out MSG a decade ago. Well, they may have taken out MSG, but there is something going by another name that is MSG in that meat as far as my tongue is concerned! KFC is also a huge user of MSG and does the same thing to me. There is actually so much added to the chicken coating that I can "feel" it on my tongue. I hardly ever eat any fast food anymore. It seems to be in almost everything. I believe that the addictive nature of the chemicals / high fructose corn syrup (a GMO item) and MSG are responsible for the obesity and poor health of Americans today. I am 50. When I was a child I do not recall there being more than 2 or 3 kids in my entire grade school who were overweight. Look around you the next time you are out in a crowd.... It is shocking how obese we are as a society. Don't even get me started on the rate of childhood diabetes these days! My opinion - ALL are due to the additives in fast and processed foods! I don't have a severe, life threatening allergy to this nerve excito-toxin called MSG, thank God. I don't know how people who do even cope.

If we can get your uncle`s liver funtioning properly that in and of itself is vitally important, obviously. Hopefully, as time goes by, his kidney function will improve also. Now there are important diffferences between the liver and the kidneys. Simply put: The liver is constantly and rapidly producing new cells and the kidneys do not do so in such a rapid manner. Do NOT get discouraged. I have some experience to draw on here. As I mentioned earlier in one of my postings: I lost my right kidney along with most of my liver due to a rather severe gunshot wound. I was told by the surgeon who operated on me that: 1. I had lost most of my liver. The entire lower lobe. BUT that my liver would renew itself and be pretty much normal if I did not die from complications. And 2. I had lost my entire right kidney also, but that: My left kidney would get bigger to compensate for the loss of the right kidney and I could live a very much normal life with only one kidney if I did not die of complications. My point is that: If your uncle`s liver can recover from this hepatitis C infection there is good reason to believe his kidneys can also recover also given time. I expect this bloating you have discussed may be the result of kidney failure along with liver failure. What have his doctors said about this ? At least his kidney function has not gotten any worse at this time and his liver has shown very significant improvement. He has only been on the BHT treatment 3 weeks. It does take some time for these large organs to heal themselves and to show improvement in function. In conclusion: Stick with the BHT regemine you are using because it is working. It takes time for these large organs to heal. Also I do recommend one cup of PURE cranberry juice per day for people experiencing kindney problems. It is an excellent kidney flush, it cleanses the kidneys. Do not overdue it.

Now those are impressive numbers, the sort of response that indicates the BHT treatment is working and is similar to what some of the others I discussed in the past have experienced including myself. Your viral load is less than 1/4 th of what it was prior to the BHT treatments and there is some small improvement in liver function in about one month of the BHT treatments. Those are very impressive results from a person who had a very a very infected liver with idications that the infection was getting far worse rapidly. You have turned all that around and are now showing dramatic improvement with the BHT treatment in only one month. As I have said many times now it takes longer for some than others to get to that NO VIRUS DETECTED status. In my opinion your initial response is a very good one considering everything.
