Cure Multiple Ailments

Hi.

I feel at my wit's end, with a multitude of symptoms that drive me nuts. the worst is neck pain especially on the right side and on left too, very painful especially the lower part of my neck and top of shoulders. there is a gritty gravelly something in there, and wherever the gravelly stuff is, it hurts. it is not just pain but this gravelly stuff that is so irritating and uncomfortable. no one seems to know what it is. I have the gravelly stuff in my upper chest also and my hips and there is pain there too.

i feel very tired, and just recently for last several days feel very down, exhausted, like I have a bug, but no cough sneezing fever, etc. thought I might have covid but it came back negative, thank God.

Head is very itchy also neck shoulders and back, am peeing very very often keeps me a wake at night. nostrils feel blocked up, frequent headaches that feel like they come from my sinuses, neuropathy in my legs and feet, left foot swells, I do not have diabetes. lots of digestive disturbance, sometimes diarrhea, sometimes constipation, very smelly, bloating, gas, reflux, acid stomache etc, not very overweight but have a big belly. skin between my toes peels off and they smell real bad. I have lyme, parasites and probably candida. am overwhelmed with the number of supplements, also brain fog, some anger etc.

if anyone has any real answers please let me know.

I have overcome terrible mental health, got off 5 psych meds, and am way less angry and afraid, not depressed or suicidal anymore, but the pain and exhaustion drive me nuts. I take no drugs at all, of any kind.

if you can help please do, and thank you

shifra

Thank you thank you thank you sooo much for your time and effort in preparing this for us ... I have c/p your info in a document so that I can refer back to it ... thank you again!

Becky

Thank you for this detailed info. I found 9 supplements that I think would help me or a family member. If I took 40 I don't think I would have any room in my stomach for real food! But thank you so much. I'm hoping the sleep remedy will help my son with chronic sleep issues.

Head to Toe What Works for Me: March 4, 2022 revision

I am in my early 60's. I currently take about 40 supplements.

Noteworthy cures, at least for me for the past 3 decades, are:

• Hesperidin for gums
• Calcium hydroxyapatite for sensitive teeth and cavities
• Macadamia oil internally for fungal toenail and numbness and tingling in toes
• Nopal cactus powder for itching skin after meals
• Serrapeptase for stroke prevention and recovery (according to a stroke victim)
• Chromium picolinate for energy and beef liver for strength/stamina
• Lecithin powder for sleep
• Quercetin for lung/sinus protection and Mrs. Dash Table Blend seasoning for lung/sinus mucus liquification
• Plankton for verbal fluency and life force
• L-glutamine for sore bicep recovery after a too tight blood pressure cuff
• Food grade sodium citrate for blood clots in arm/chest after a blood draw
• Garcinia cambogia extract powder for decreasing appetite
• Apple Pectin and whole rye flour to decrease bowel transit time for regularity
• Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth and microwaved pillows for mites and head lice
• Baking Soda for a 24 hour deodorant
• Nutritional Yeast before lunch for increased oxygen and breath to process lunch
• L-glutamine as a fountain of youth
• Turmeric for a mellow mood
• Green coffee bean powder for vivid color eyesight and blindness protection
• Vitamin C internally for red ant or other bites

All supplements are taken mornings unless otherwise mentioned. All teaspoons are level measuring teaspoons unless otherwise mentioned. Almost all of the powders I put in mouth, some separate and some together with other powders, and wash down with water.

1) Stroke prevention

one 40, 000 unit capsule of Swanson Serrazimes. SwansonVitamins.com. I met someone who had recovered nicely from a stroke by taking the silk worm enzyme, serrapeptase. Their carotid artery blockage went from 30% blocked to 10% blocked in 6 months with one Doctor's Best 120, 000 Unit serrapeptase capsule three times per day. I think the Swanson Serrazimes (serratiopeptidase) may be better than other higher dose brands of serrapeptase and the Swanson reviews seem to agree. The first night I took the Serrazimes, as I laid my head on the pillow, I felt/heard a momentary rush or turbulence go up through my carotid arteries on the sides of my neck, so I now believe I am protected from a stroke as long as I take Swanson Serrazimes. Serrapeptase is supposed to cleanse the cardiovascular system. However, it says not recommended if taking blood thinners like vitamin K, heparin or warfarin (coumadin).

2) Sleep

afternoons or evenings, 1.5 to 2 level tsp soy lecithin powder in about 6 oz water. Nuts.com or BulkFoods.com.

For decades, just one dose of lecithin in the evening has helped me to get to sleep, stay asleep and get back to sleep in the night. Lecithin contains phosphatidylcholine, a nervous system relaxant. Since August 21, 2018, I started stirring in 1/32nd level tsp (about a pinch) of micronized magnesium carbonate powder. This magnesium carbonate may be my top energy supplement with good results for sustained energy, well-being and telomere protection as described by Dr. Carolyn Dean in her book, The Magnesium Miracle. The magnesium carbonate has a slight laxative effect. BulkSupplements.com.

3) Energy & blood sugar

one 200 mcg capsule of chromium picolinate (CP). I stopped taking this for 27 years and had forgotten how much energy CP gives me. SwansonVitamins.com Swanson (house) brand. Chromium is supposed to decrease insulin resistance and thereby helps to burn sugar. Taking more than 200 mcg per day gives me a headache. I also take a slightly rounded 1/2 tsp of Vietnamese cinnamon powder after reading that cinnamon and chromium picolinate are the best two supplements to prevent diabetes. Vietnamese cinnamon (SwansonVitamins.com) is said to be the best tasting although Vietnamese is not Ceylon or True cinnamon which is supposed to be the safest cinnamon with the lowest levels of coumadin. I also take 1 level iced teaspoon of NOW brand Argentine Beef Liver Powder for endurance. SwansonVitamins.com. It comes in a 12 oz plastic bottle. Magnesium carbonate is also a surprise boost for my energy as described in the above "Sleep" paragraph. BulkSupplements.com.

4) Energy

Before lunch, 1/8 level cup Red Star nutritional yeast flakes. BulkFoods.com. RNA increases breath and lung volume and therefore oxygen, so I believe nutritional yeast helps me to metabolize lunch with the extra oxygen and I noticed that I breathe more deeply after lunch and into the afternoon when I take the nutritional yeast.

5) Hair

For decades I have taken 1/8 level cup of whey protein concentrate and my hair is full and thick. I have also felt my muscles to be slightly stronger with it. Nuts.com.

6) Fingernails

1/8 level tsp of bamboo extract. BulkSupplements.com. The bamboo extract is 70% natural silica which is remarkable. My nails grow fast and look healthy.

7) Eyes

astaxanthin 4 mg/zeaxanthin 4 mg. SwansonVitamins.com, 1/4 level measuring tsp bilberry extract. BulkSupplements.com. 1/4 tsp green coffee bean powder (not extract). BulkSupplements.com. Green coffee bean is supposed to prevent blindness from it's polyphenols. I notice a brighter blue sky and whiter clouds when I take green coffee bean powder. I decided not to take the green coffee extract as it's too stimulating for me but the extract did brighten the sky and cloud colors even more. I have noticed that taking astaxanthin gives my skin a nice orange tone and I am unable to sunburn when taking astaxanthin.

8) Gums

1/4 level tsp (500 mg) hesperidin. BulkSupplments.com. In 2011, my slightly sore gums bled occasionally and my teeth were slightly loose, but hesperidin started to improve that in days and my gums continued to gradually improve over the next 2 years, so I plan to take hesperidin for life. I took Swanson 500 mg hesperidin capsules for years but switched to the powder from BulkSupplements. Hesperidin is hard to find as a stand alone supplement, but is part of most or all citrus bioflavonoid products.

9) Teeth

1 capsule twice per day of NOW brand "Calcium Hydroxyapatite Caps." My sensitive teeth went away and cavities won't form if I take this, even if a flax seed puts a small hole in a molar. Then I take 2 capsules twice per day for several weeks until the tooth repairs itself or I will eventually seek out a dentist, but my tooth always repairs itself by filling in any injury and becoming painless. This is a low temperature processed calf bone concentrate that contains the whole bone matrix.

10) Lungs and sinuses

-1/2 level tsp (500 mg) to 1 level tsp (1000 mg) quercetin dihydrate. BulkSupplements.com. Protects lungs and sinuses. Quercetin also gives me energy. I would try quercetin for anything concerning lungs or sinuses and maybe even for the ears and hearing since the ears are only a few inches from the sinuses. I take the 1/2 level tsp in warmer months and the 1 level tsp in the colder months. I tried to stop taking quercetin twice, underestimating what quercetin was doing for me, but my energy dropped and my nose became congested within a month. Quercetin is a good combo with the below description of Mrs. Dash Table Blend seasoning to liquefy and thin mucus.

11) Lung and sinus mucus liquification

1/2 slightly rounded tsp of Walmart's 14 herb Mrs. Dash Table Blend (MDTB) seasoning. Contains thyme, oregano which are expectorants and chili which supports the airways. For decades I have thinned my lung and sinus mucus with MDTB. MDTB should start to liquefy lung mucus in 2 weeks. I had laryngitis and couldn't clear my throat but one dose of MDTB cleared my throat the same day. MDTB goes well with quercetin as a combo to protect the respiratory system.

12) Joints

1/4 level tsp (500 mg) Kollgen chicken sternum type 2 collagen powder. msm-msm.com. Also available in capsules at SwansonVitamins and PipingRock. My knees were loose in their sockets but started improving a few days after starting taking the chicken sternum powder. The cartilage filled in completely by probably 4 months. My unhinged back healed but took 3 to 5 years to fill in and I don't know when the healing happened. Another person cancelled their hip replacement after taking chicken sternum for 6 months, and another canceled their (painful) knee replacement and is now walking around normally. The person couldn't stand in line at the buffet without sitting because of the knee pain. However, not every joint heals every time, like my shoulder which is still wonky. 1/8 level tsp (about 220 mg) sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) powder. BulkSupplements.com. I could notice my joints moving a little smoother when taking hyaluronic acid, but the improvement was very subtle.

13) Sprained ankle/foot

2 level tsp (4 grams) of bovine collagen hydrolysate and 2 level tsp (5 grams) of L-glutamine twice per day. BulkSupplements.com. So that's 8 grams of collagen and 10 grams of L-glutamine per day. My ankle was sprained on January 9, 2018. This ankle soreness improved with 12 grams per day of collagen but improved even more when I added the L-glutamine on Sept 20, 2018. I could feel the ankle burning internally on the first night of taking L-glutamine and since then the ankle feels healed because the pain stopped returning nightly. Hydrolized collagen is 100% type 1 collagen which is said to repair tendons and ligaments, but it also seems to need the L-glutamine to heal the ankle. I will be switching to their fish collagen because of the positive BulkSupplements reviews for skin.

14) Fungal great toenail

2 tablespoons macadamia oil after meals, up to twice per day, for 2 months, then 1 tablespoon mornings for life. PipingRockock.com. My fungal toenail lifted off after 2 months or two 16 oz bottles internally of NOW brand unrefined macadamia oil, but NOW discontinued the product. Healthy, thick, pink nail grew in over the next year.

Macadamia oil has 18% palmitoleic acid, an antimicrobial and I think an antifungal. My toes had also begun to have occasional numbness and tingling (which I think is called peripheral neuropathy), numbness which surprisingly went away about when the fungal toenail dropped off. I later read that palmitoleic acid is used as a treatment for peripheral neuopathy. I like the unrefined, stronger taste of PipingRock's macadamia oil as compared to Swanson's more tasteless macadamia oil.

15) Mood and cardiovascular

1 level tsp turmeric powder (WincoFoods in western states and Dallas, TX), and 1/4 level tsp black pepper powder. Turmeric was immediately very mellowing for my mood, and it helps rebuild the endothelium (inner wall) of blood vessels. My bicep was squeezed by a too-tight, automated blood pressure cuff. It took 9 months, but turmeric has helped the bicep's soreness, as does the L-glutamine recently added at 10 grams per day. The L-glutamine, known as a fountain of youth, has now healed my bicep pain completely after only 2.5 months since 9/20/2018. I think L-glutamine may also repair a leaky blood-brain barrier, now thought to be the cause of Alzheimer's and dementia, like L-glutamine heals the stomach lining. I have also thought that L-glutamine may also cure cancer and other necrotic conditions through controlled inflammation. Turmeric is also said to help prevent Alzheimer's. The 5 lb box of turmeric powder is under $13 at WincoFoods if you ask the bulk section attendant for the 5 lb turmeric box. Black pepper increases the absorption of turmeric's curcumin by up to 20 times. Ground black pepper is available at Big Lots in a 2.5 oz bottle for $1 and also sometimes the Big Lots Gel brand in the 11 oz size for $5. I prefer the 11 oz bottle of Gel brand black pepper at Big Lots because it looks to be a finer grind of pepper than the Fresh Finds 2.5 oz bottle.

16) Blood clots

afternoons at 4 PM, 1/2 level tsp food grade sodium citrate (about 3 grams) in 6 oz water. Pro Supply Outlet on eBay.com. One of my biceps had apparent, obvious, slightly painful blood clots soon after a blood draw in 2016. Sodium citrate thins and liquefies cheese for nacho cheese sauce and mac-n-cheese sauce, so I thought it would dissolve blood clots for me which it did. It's perhaps a lot of sodium (1408 mg per level teaspoon) but I think my dose was 1 level teaspoon mornings and afternoons for a month or until the first 1 lb bag was gone. It took 2 weeks to receive the sodium citrate and by then I could feel the clots had moved to the left side of my heart. However, thankfully I could also feel when the sodium citrate dissolved the clots within a few days. Two Doctor's Best 100 mg nattokinase enzyme capsules did nothing for the clots, although 8 capsules per day of nattokinase for a few days did dissolve some hard and gnarly blood clots in the past on top of someone's wrist. So I now take the 1/2 level tsp maintenance dose of the sodium citrate powder for circulation.

17) Itching skin after meals

1/4 level tsp nopal prickly pear Opuntia cactus powder. Starwest Botanicals, or SwansonVitamins and PipingRock for nopal capsules. I had itching skin after meals for years, but I saw the Nopalea TV infomercial in 2010, so I bought the Swanson or PipingRock nopal leaf 650 mg capsules and took 2 capsules after meals. My itching ankles and forearms stopped itching in 2 days. Nopal has betalains which are anti-inflammatory.

18) Itching hip area under waistband

two 22 mg capsules Swanson brand zinc picolinate. SwansonVitamins.com. I was told that zinc is the go-to supplement for any skin problem and the Swanson reviews say that picolinate is the most absorbed form of zinc. This has been a very persistent itch for 3 years that I tried many things for and could not heal. Zinc picolinate seems to suppress the itch from the inside, but I also lightly rub some non-aluminum baking soda powder onto the hip area mornings and evenings which fixes the itch.

19) Regularity and keeping the digestive tract/bowels moving

-six 300 mg capsules Swanson brand apple pectin. SwansonVitamins.com. 1/8 level cup Arrowhead Mills Organic Rye Flour (20 oz bag) VitaCost.com. 1 level iced teaspoon of Nutricology Dietary Fiber Cellulose Powder. SwansonVitamins.com. 1/2 level tsp NOW brand guar gum powder. SwansonVitamins. 8 oz or more of diluted 100% bottled fruit juice or 100% juice blends per day, sweetened with NOW Better Stevia powder stirred in to taste. eBay NOW brand Better Stevia 1 lb container. I dilute the glass with 80% water and 20% juice and stir in the Better Stevia to taste. 1 tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar in 6 oz stevia sweetened water. As described in the "Sleep" paragraph, evenings 1/32nd level tsp micronized magnesium carbonate stirred into 2 level tsp lecithin powder in about 6 oz water does improve regularity. I don't think my digestive tract would function nearly as well without the congealing effect of the apple pectin. It's as important as rye flour which a study found to decrease bowel transit time with a more positive effect on the digestive tract than any other bread. Guar gum is very slick and I thought it to be a good addition to my fibers. I put the guar gum on tongue, take a sip of water and then using tongue, immediately mix with water in mouth, then wash down with more water. Aloe vera extract powder 1/4 level tsp, also help regularity, but can be very bitter. BulkSupplements.com

20) Longevity supplements

1/2 slightly rounded tsp (1500 mg) marine phytoplankton or three 500 mg capsules. PhytoplanktonSource.com. Plankton is possibly the most important supplement that I take. The company is in the Netherlands and takes a few weeks to receive it in the U.S. Some whales live for 200 years and eat plankton. I noticed my verbal fluency improve on plankton, and my muscles' increased response to my breath. Plankton provides what I can only describe as my life force because when I stop taking plankton, my brain power plummets. 1/4 level tsp rosemary herb powder. PennHerb.com. An Italian village (Accairo near Salerno) has 15% centenarians which they think is due to a high intake of rosemary in the diet. Ketchup with every meal. Walmart Great Value 24 oz ketchup is only $1. A man over the age of 100 credited his age to eating ketchup at every meal. Ketchup contains lycopene. 1/2 level tsp hops extract. BulkSupplements.com. A lady over 100 had always brewed her own beer. Swanson says the antioxidant xanthohumol in hops is 200 times more powerful than resveratrol (I discontinued hops extract because I didn't notice anything by taking it.) 1/2 level tsp astragalus extract. BulkSupplements.com. Astragalus is said to preserve the telomere length which correlates to lifespan. 1/16th level tsp micronized magnesium carbonate powder as described in the above "Sleep" paragraph. BulkSupplements.com. Magnesium preserves the telomeres.

21) Superfoods

1 level iced teaspoon spirulina powder. Nuts.com. 1 level iced teaspoon chlorella powder. Nuts.com. 1 level iced teaspoon green tea powder. Nuts.com.

22) Weight loss

1/2 level tsp (1500 mg) to 1 level tsp (3000 mg) garcinia cambogia powder (60% HCA). BulkSuupplements.com. I can go until 4 PM or longer without eating when I take garcinia cambogia. I don't think I have lost any weight with it, however. I still take a few other supplements like aloe vera extract powder (1/2 level tsp) BulkSupplements.com. Aloe vera decreases wrinkles, increases the skin barrier and skin elasticity and also has a laxative effect.

23) Mites & lice

Taking Durvet Ivermectin (IVM) Horse Paste Apple Flavored for 15 months worked well for mites and lice. In 3 weeks, IVM also ended my getting a chest cold every few months in 2021.

The dose I used is .2 times one's body weight in kilograms, taken twice per month. For me at 209 pounds body weight, it comes out to 18 milligrams, so I use 20 mg. Each section of horse paste has 5 mg IVM in it, so I take 4 sections of horse paste on the 1st and the 16th of each month. Some people double the IVM dose, which is taking it weekly instead of bi-weekly.

I realized the mites were gone in maybe 6 months. I read that IVM works against mites, lice and scabies because IVM is an anti-parasite. The Durvet horse

Chest Colds: However, then I started taking 100 mg of PipingRock's zinc picolinate (ZP), (two 50 mg capsules) every 6 hours which is 4 times per day, and ZP ends the chest colds at the sore throat/tonsil phase. The chest cold does not progress to the lungs. It's 400 mg of zinc per day, but that is what works. I also tried zinc citrate powder but it doesn't work at all against my sore throat/tonsil area. I read that ZP is the easiest absorbed zinc.

Food grade diatomaceous earth (1/2 level tsp afternoons internally) DiatomaceousEarth.com. I had some mites and lice from a new looking thrift store pillow, so I brush the DE into my hair wet after a shower and leave it in until my next shampoo a week or so later and repeat. The DE got rid of the mites and lice because they gravitate to the scalp. Also, microwaving my small travel pillows that I sleep on for 15 seconds for 3 or 4 times each week also got rid of the mites and lice. Taking the 1/2 level tsp of DE internally afternoons also I think helped get rid of my eye mites in an internal manner.

24) Warts and moles

Venus fly trap extract (two Carnivora.com capsules afternoons) and 15 drops of a Venus Fly Trap (VFT) alcohol extract afternoons (Eclectic Institute or Barlow brand). The venus fly trap liquid extract and capsules, since June 5, 2017, is my attempt at getting rid of some small warts and moles, but it only seems to be drying them up slowly thus far. My VFT dose is low compared to Carnivora's instructions.

25) Kidney/bladder stones

Afternoons in 7 day intervals, I have been taking one 820 mg tablet (horse pill) of Planetary Herbal's "Stone Free" product. SwansonVitamins.com. I did pass a rough, spiked, beige sunflower seed sized stone in 2016 and one again in 2017. I took one tablet for seven days, then waited 3 weeks for a stone to possibly pass, which it did, twice. Now I just take one Stone Free tablet afternoons or evenings if I can tolerate it because it is so strong and bring my energy down. It is a formula by a well known herbalist containing interesting herbs for bladder/kidney stones like Coin Leaf.

Mornings, for brain function I also take a 90%, 1000 mg DHA softgel from BulkNaturalOils.com. I also take 1/2 level tsp of sage powder for the brain from Dollar Tree, Big Lots or wherever I can find sage. For a decade I have taken a 250 mg capsule of rutin that I read protects the bladder wall. SwansonVitamins.com. I also take 1/2 level tsp ginger root powder for general good health, but I plan to discontinue the ginger, although for no particular reason other than to decrease the number of my supplements. StarwestBotanicals.com or PennHerb.com.

Non-aluminum baking soda like Walmart's Great Value works great as a 24 hour deodorant. I use 1/8 to 1/4 tsp on wet palms rubbed together after my evening shower and applied under the opposing arms. Using too much powder will cause a stinging under my arms.

For a red ant sting on my toe in 2016, I took 1 level tsp (4 grams) of ascorbic acid powder (vitamin C) every 2 hours in 8 oz water and after the 2nd dose, the stinging was gone. I bought ascorbic acid in the 1 lb Swanson brand container at SwansonVitamins.com but will be ordering it by the kilo from BulkSupplements.

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2005. They removed half of it then, due to my levels being off the charts and also due to having large nodules. Now, my TSH level is 0.50 and my Free T4 is 1.05. I take 75 mcg of levothyroxine daily. My cholesterol is 222. I decreased my level from 246 to 222 in 2 months by eating allot healthier. I also take Latuda 80 mg for mood, depression and insomnia, Abilify 30 mg for motor tics, gabapentin 800 2 x daily for anxiety, Lithium 300 2 x daily for bipolar. I was diagnosed with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder in 1994 and later on, after long drug use (I have been sober since August 2014), I was diagnosed with drug induced bipolar disorder and drug induced ADHD. I also have PTSD. Despite taking all of these pharmaceuticals, I still have symptoms of depression and slight anxiety. I also feel sluggish and unmotivated most of the day. I started taking supplements for motor tics as follows: magnesium citrate 500 mg, magnesium malate 100 mg 3 x daily, omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, zinc 50 mg, b-complex, vitamin c-1000. They have made my motor tics almost completely go away altogether. What a releif and I have had them since I was 7. They also help my anxiety. I take 2 teaspoons of ACV three times daily. Cinnamon, Cayenne pepper, Turmeric, Maca root powder, coacoa powder, and beet root powder all go in my daily smoothie for depression. I have diarrhea and nausea on a daily basis especially if I eat bad fats or dairy. I don't want to be on pharmaceuticals but my doctor will not ween me off right now. He is doing genetic tests to see which anti depressants will be most effective. He is also testing for the methylfolate gene mutation I beleive it's called. I asked my medical doctor to do a complete thyroid panel but he refuses. He says since my TSH is fine everything else is fine. I also asked them to test for Candida. They will not. I know I can do these tests on my own but they are pricey. I'm going to switch doctors but for the time being what can I do now for all of these symptoms? The depression and sluggish feeling is my biggest complaint. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jeanette, I know this is 2017 but just read your post. My arms would go numb too, it was a very odd sensation and very uncomfortable especially when trying to get comfortable to sleep. I found a very good Reiki practitioner. During the 1st session when she got to my right arm, it felt like a rush of power blew out through my fingertips. So much so, it woke me up. After the treatment she mentioned how much stuffed energy I had in my arms. I realized that doing bicep curls was part of the problem as was diet. I stopped that particular exercise and started eating cleaner. Rarely does the sensation occur, but when it starts I call my Reiki practitioner. I hope all is better with you.

Here is my supplement summary for what has helped me:

Multi-cure protocol/regimen

(1 capsule unless otherwise specified)
7 AM capsules: rutin (500 mg), prickly pear nopal cactus (650 mg), bamboo extract (300 mg), lutein (20 mg), ginger (550 mg), astaxanthin/zeaxanthin (4 mg each), hesperidin (500 mg), bilberry (300 mg of 4:1 extract), quercetin (400 mg), apple pectin (six 300 mg capsules), chicken sternum collagen type 2 (500 mg).

I take all of the 16 capsules/softgels with 1 tablespoon macadamia oil, put oil in mouth, add capsules and let capsules soak in oil in mouth a few seconds then wash capsules down with water.

7 AM powders (wash down one at a time with water): beef liver powder (1 level tsp), 1 level tsp inulin fiber, 1 level tsp dietary fiber cellulose, 1/8 level cup whole rye flour, 1 rounded teaspoon of beet root powder, 1/8 level cup unflavored whey protein concentrate or isolate.

10 AM boost - tuna DHA (500 mg softgel), marine phytoplankton (500 mg capsule), reduced glutathione (500 mg capsule).

Before lunch: 1 rounded tsp cinnamon powder, 1 rounded tsp beet root powder.

4 PM: 1 rounded teaspoon beet root powder.

8 PM: triphala (500 mg capsule), rosemary leaves (400 mg capsule), soy lecithin (1200 mg softgel), calcium hydroxyapatite (350 mg capsule), 1 rounded tsp beet root powder.

Comments: the nopal cactus healed my after meal itching/psoriasis on forearms and ankles within days, the hesperidin healed my gum pain and keeps my gums healthy, the calcium hydroxyapatite has type 1 collagen which feeds ligaments and tendons and so fixed my bending knee pain and also healed my sensitive teeth and therefore keeps my teeth, bones, ligaments and tendons healthy, the quercetin keeps my lungs and sinuses clear so I don't get chest colds any more anytime or in winter, chicken sternum type 2 collagen feeds cartilage and fixed my bone on bone knees rubbing and knocking around in their sockets and hanging loose while lying on my side and enabled a woman to no longer require a hip replacement after 6 months, bamboo extract seems to promote my fingernail growth and is 70% natural silica, beet root powder lowers blood pressure and dilates blood vessels with nitric oxide which allows me to wake up earlier like an oxygen supplement would and at a tenth of the cost of a well known beets product, whey protein concentrate gives my muscles strength and promotes my skin health/hair growth, liver powder promotes my stamina and has natural B-complex, macadamia oil cured my fungal toenail after 2 months or two 16 oz bottles at 2 tablespoons internally after meals and also dampens my candida stinging, while in the same time frame stopped some intermittent toe numbness & tingling (peripheral neuropathy), tuna DHA 500 mg increases my perception and well-being, plankton increases my life force, verbal fluency and increases my lung volume breath from it's RNA and my muscles' response to my lungs' oxygen intake, reduced glutathione is optimism in a bottle for me, rosemary promotes longevity as in the Italian village of Acciaroli near Salerno where the population of a few thousand has about 300 people who are aged over 100, presumably due to their high intake of rosemary, the soy lecithin softgel I have taken for 10 years before bed promotes sleep dependably and incredibly and is a nervous system relaxant from it's phosphatidyl choline and cured leg cramps in two people I know at 1 softgel daily.

for regularity: rye flour speeds bowel transit time, apple pectin congeals everything, inulin and cellulose add fiber. After being constipated most of my life, I took non-aluminum baking soda for 2.5 years at 1/2 level teaspoon in water morning and evening which cleansed and restored my bowels to regularity and baking soda is also very slick.

Cures I have had summary:

Skin itching/psoriasis- nopal prickly pear opuntia cactus Sore gums- hesperidin Knee pain- calcium hydroxyapatite (type 1 collagen) Sensitive teeth- calcium hydroxyapatite Knee/hip bone on bone- chicken sternum collagen type 2 Fungal toenail- macadamia oil internally Toe numbness & tingling- macadamia oil internally Chest colds gone- quercetin dihydrate Pessimism/brain fog- reduced glutathione Sleep- soy lecithin softgel Leg cramps- soy lecithin softgel

I just want to explain what happens when one uses natural remedies.

A symptom is a sign of a systemic lack of some nutrient. When you use a natural "remedy", you're giving the body that nutrient in a natural state, natural amounts, with natural companion elements and compounds that not only offer other nutrients, but also tell the body what it needs to know about the substance so that it can use it most effectively.

When you treat a single symptom with a nutrient in its natural form, the FIRST thing the body is going to do is send what you give it to where it is needed MOST which may or may NOT show in the alleviation of the symptom you're treating until the body takes care of something that is of a greater priority - something more important than the cause of that particular symptom.

In other words, give the body time to identify, sift through and apply the elements of the remedy before you assume it isn't working. Also, give it time between doses to make the most of it.

The body doesn't work in "bulk" when it comes to nutrients. It works elementally - I.e. it extracts elements it needs from what you give it and when you give it more than it can use, it must also put energy into dealing with the excess. And if you give it WAY too much, the whole substance will simply be dealt with as if it is a "toxin". In other words, its priority is going to be to eliminate the excess and it isn't going to stop doing that to apply it where it might be needed. "Excess" is an emergency mode - like dehydration - and the system operates differently in an emergency mode. For instance, when you cut yourself, it bleeds because the whole body is involved in dealing with that cut. It's manufacturing antibodies, redirecting blood flow, oxygen and whatever else is required to keep that cut from killing it. It isn't doing "normal" things like feeding the cells of your liver or kidneys during that emergency.

In dehydration - which most of the population is chronically dehydrated and perpetually operating in emergency dehydration mode - the body is rationing water for the same reason: To keep you alive. But while it's rationing water, some systems within your body are slowly dying of thirst. If your body has to let a kidney die in its attempts to maintain heart and brain function - it's going to do it. And if you don't drink plain water and your body has to steal the water from your colon to maintain brain function, it's going to do that too.

Anyway, when you use natural remedies and don't appear to be getting any results, take that as a sign that you might want to drink that tea every once in a while because if you're missing elements, then that's because you're not consuming them. And the beauty of it is that you don't even have to know what you're missing. All you have to do is add some of that tea to your diet.

Just over three years ago, I became unwell with unexplained fatigue and symptoms of a neurological nature. No one was able to help me as to what could possibly be the issue. After about ten months of this, it all came to a head when after numerous misdiagnoses, I decided to abandon the conventional route and look into holistic healing. Something inside me just snapped. This is what I was guided to do and I have faith it will help others.

On a physical level:

• Got myself a holistic functional medicine nutritionist who picked up a Parasite, Candida and other bad bugs in my gut, heavy metal load in my body and Adrenal fatigue.
• Anti - Candida and Anti - Parasite herbs
• 3 raw cloves of Garlic, 6 teaspoons of raw red onion a day, I also drank green tea on an empty stomach before eating anything for about a month! (i was desperate to get rid of the bugs! ) for the gut bugs
• Ted's alkalising remedy with the lime and Bicarbonate soda for about 3 months
• Digestive enzymes and Probiotic powders
• Diet (this is critical): I went gluten, sugar (also no fruit or root veg, just the occasional sweet potato), dairy(except Eggs) and caffeine free (apart from green tea). Lots of green veg, gluten free grains like Millet and Quinoa, nuts, seeds and a organic vegan protein powder. I introduced legumes after I fixed my gut. I only drank filtered water, herbal teas, green juice/smoothies (daily) and Almond milk. I have been a vegetarian all my life. Prior to all this happening, I thought I had a healthy diet but it was full of sugar and processed foods.
• Ate fat (previously I avoided fat) like organic Coconut oil, Olive oil and Pumpkin seed oil to help the gut.
• High quality vitamins
• Oral Gluthathione and Cellular zeolite for the heavy metal load
• Kundalinini yoga every morning 30 minutes.
• Discarded all mainstream personal hygiene products and makeup. I now use natural paraben, heavy metal and alcohol free products

On a spiritual level:

• I used (and still do) EFT (emotional freedom technique) to get rid of the emotional junk. I saw an EFT practitioner which really helped.
• I listen to my body now and do what makes me happy.
• Positive affirmations and also acting as if I am healed helped
• Avoided negative people/thing
• Believing that a higher power was always going to heal me. For me, it was God.
• Doing things that brought me joy
• Phenomenal reduction in stress after I resigned from my corporate job.

This didn't happen overnight, it does take time. You may get die off if there are toxins in the body. Everyone is different. It's a journey.

Now, looking back I am very grateful for this experience as it has helped me appreciate my body and everything I have in my life. I am so grateful I didn't listen to conventional medicine!

Thank you for reading. Sorry for the length of this post. Good luck on your journey, sending you love and good will! You can do this!

HI U NAMAY, lived in Selma for 5 years and sent 2 daughters to Auburn.

I have the same problem and suggest you buy magnesium chloride flakes and make a half gallon to put into a sprayer and coat yourself down once a day for 20 minutes. It goes through your skin transdermally . Do this before you shower.

There is also a compound of Mg that will not give you the green apple trots. It is Magnesium L-Theonate. It is patented and developed by MIT.

I still think your best bet is to do a soak before bed using a cup of epson salt, 3/4 cup of baking soda and a bottle of Hydrogen peroxide. You get this good stuff transdermally and sleep like a baby.

Wish you the best.======ORH=======

Ol Robert Henry, how can I take magnesium--it give me terrible diarrhea, even just a little. I feel I need it, but epsom salt soaks aren't enough and supplements give me the runs. How do I get it?

HI U MMSG, , , , , , , , , , , , , little darling, very little is original with me. I read, try and report. Our Gov. folks are not interested is solving anything so they recommend little. So don't do what I say.... go to the source.

Got a new project underway and that is gel coating our 85' water slide that goes into Watts Bar Lake from our log cabin deck. Would hire it done, but I 's pore and jus barely getting by. My kid , Friday, has the slide almost 2/3 sanded. He will finish that tomorrow and then we will apply the gel coat later.

ATS========ORH=========

Wow ORH, that sounds like super high dosages.

HI U LARRY, , , , , , , , these 5 are just a start. Google Dr Sircus and learn of iodine, baking soda and magnesium. Subscribe to his free medical news letter.

For Vitamin D3, take 14,000 iu's a day and expose your skin for 20 to 30 minutes to the sun between 11am and 1pm.

For your brain take nician amide 3xD to = 3500mg. This is in the EC archives and amazing. This was proven at U of Cal Irving and the program was shut down. It's not about health, it's about money. The medical field make lots of jack off Alzheimer's. They don't want you to die , they just want you sick.

Read and when you get tired, read some more. You are responsible for your own health, not your doctor and certainly not me.

=====ORH======

Would you mind elaborating on dosage of these particular items?

To Robert Henry - Thanks for sharing your approach of using the 5 healthful supplements. Can you please give details on your use of the 5 supplements. - Larry

HI U OLE PATOOTS DOIN, , , , , , , , let's cut to the chase. I've been at this for awhile and here's what I'd tell you to do to be healthy.

Do these 5 things - Magnesium, Iodine, Baking Soda, Vitamin D3, B3 - and forget all the rest. These will take care of your heart, cancer and mind. The other crap is not a deal. It has taken me a lifetime to learn this and I give it to you for free.

ATS======ORH===========

I am an 85 year old man of small frame and skinny all my life weighing 120 lbs. Since 2006 I have felt fatigued and it got worse every year. I had blood tests run, including testosterone but they all came out 'Normal'. Finally in 2011 I started losing a pound a month so that by August, I was down to 112 lbs. I discussed this with my doctor and he kept insisting that my testosterone was 'normal for a man my age. When I got down to 112 lbs, I insisted that my doctor give me an injection of Testosterone (Sustenon 250).

Aug. 2011: I got my first T shot in Aug. 2011 after losing 8 lbs. in 8 months and was down to 112 lbs with no energy. The next day I felt ten years younger with lots of energy to the amazement of all including myself and my doctor.Sept. 2012: After being on T for just over a year I was hit by the shingles which not only screwed me up but screwed up my T big time..Spring, 2013: I gave up on the T and let things settle down.

Dec. 2013: At 83 years I was feeling like crap. I had a hernia operation and it no sooner healed when another popped up. A search of the Internet told me some people are just prone to hernias. No energy and going to bed at 6 or 7 and of course my hormones were all screwed up.

Jan. 2014; RJ (Royal Jelly): I started taking RJ because two friends were taking it in place of Viagra with good results. It has not helped or harmed me in any way.

Feb. 2014; GB (Marijuana Butter): After searching the Internet for something to relieve the pain and discomfort of PHN from the shingles I made some GB and tried it. Amazing stuff! I felt much better and slept better as well with more energy. BONUS: it keeps my hernia from popping out.

Mar. 2014: COPs (Castor Oil Packs): Now that I was feeling better with the GB I noticed my GI Tract was not feeling right so I tried a COP which helped for a while but soon faded away. BONUS: My bronchitis is being held in check.

Jan. 2015: M (Metamucil): When the effects of the COP wore off I tried Metamucil and it worked fairly well. I only took it once a day, perhaps I should have tried it twice a day but I didn't like the taste of it. I gave it up after two weeks.

Feb. 2015: VD3 (Vitamin D3): Some time ago, Mike suggested I try Vitamin D3. I ordered some (50,000 IU in each capsule) and surprisingly they arrived on schedule. This has really straightened out my GI Tract. I take 1 capsule 3XW, MWF if I remember. So I'll add D3 to my list. This was also a great energy booster. I guess anything that makes you feel better will give you more energy.

May 2015: PS (Pumpkin Seeds): I have been eating PS for 3 weeks hoping they would help my prostate or my E.D. and it has not helped or hindered. I'll finish the second half kilo in 7 to 10 days because it's good nutrition. They are raw and unsalted. One inconsequential thing I just noticed is that I have much less ear wax since eating them.

May 2015: While my GI Tract feels much better, there's still something not quite right and I'm thinking along the lines of gluten intolerance or more likely Glyphosate intolerance/poisoning. So I had myself tested for both. They both came back clean, no problems.

June 2015: Cialis: At 85 years I feel much better than I have in years and I can easily stay up to 10 at night or later. I still have good REM sleep wood, my libido comes and goes, and I still have ED. I'm taking 5 mg of Cialis for my enlarged prostate which helps but I'm still looking for ways to shrink my prostate, cure my E.D. and maybe gain some muscles, so next month I am going to try T gel every other day and see what happens.

Hi Bibi,

Did you ever find relief from the symptoms you were experiencing? Diane

The probable cause of your rise in blood pressure could be the amount of baking soda you're taking in proportion to the ACV. You might try balancing part of the Sodium bicarbonate with Potassium Citrate which is a good alkalizer and a good blood pressure reliever. I have tried it and it worked.

Dear Yekara, please visit lyme-symptoms.com. Here you will find a wealth of free information on how you can eradicate all your infections and begin on your journey back to wellness. Good luck!

@taram

If this person is on antibiotics for HPylori, then everything you have written would not be beneficial at this time. He needs to identify main problem based on symptoms. Overloading with supplements without knowing what is going on is not wise. He needs to go on elimination diet, elimination of all supplements, etc. And start from a clean slate. He can google about elimination diet. The only things I would recommend is distilled water with a splash of apple cider vinegar.

We are all different and such a seemingly unimportant thing as low stomach acidity can mean multiple issues vs. Health.

Documenting everything while on elimination diet would help to determine the main trigger of multiple issues.

Also, I assume this person is 100% gluten free. Soy, sugar and corn Free. This is a starting point of road to health.

Hey Gwemm, good news is you are all fixable. I cannot speak to the hernia. But for the Pylori and liver, its actually kinda easy. The best diet - for all things is fruits and veggies with a few nuts legumes and minimal poultry or fish. No red meats. No processed foods (nothing boxed or bagged or pre-made as all contain chemicals) and absolutely no sugars, artifical sweeteners or chemicals of any kind. Eat as much homemade natural organic as you can and avoiding grains also helps to boost your immune system.

Natural antibiotics that are fast and great is Sea Salt and Garlic and Bee Propolis. I swear by all three and Propolis is the big dog. Not much will continue with propolis. Its anti-viral and anti-bacterial, its awesome. Changing diet is the key.

Since Pylori is in the gut, I recommend great probiotics as they no doubt put you on deadly antibiotics and the best are fermented veggies you make at home. I also swear by these. My body was wrecked for years due to antibiotic abuse that I never knew was harmful.

As for the liver, you can do a normal liver detox or cleanse... but NEVER do the epsom salt one ... do the apple one. And a parasite cleanse would also be helpful. There is a good chance the underlying issues are parasites and fungus infection- from my research - to most illnesses and diseases. If you take care of these two and keep a healthy diet then you will find a new life.

Work on Balancing PH in your blood and treating the fungus and parasites (as are present in most of the global population and try a great garlic syrup (equal parts lemon juice, organic raw apple cider vinegar and minced garlic - from raw garlic, not the pre-minded jarred kind and raw organic honey).

This is a tasty syrup that you can never over do and is only healthy- completely. Can store quite well in the fridge. Take at least 3x a day and I would recommend to get and use propolis. Capsules may be the best, the extract can be tricky but needs to be taken and mixed with honey. Also Turmeric, Ginger and Honey tea- so good. Anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, energy booster, immune boosters, etc.

Dandelion and Milk Thistle also support a healthy liver and here is the link on Earth Clinic to the Fatty Liver page.

Hang in there! Hope to hear good news soon.

I take DE every day. Its completely inert. Been taking it for about a year. My kids take it, (2 and 3) they actually like it. We give it to our dog. Make sure its FOOD GRADE ONLY. Its just what it says, dirt. Not a bad taste, kinda chalky in water. You could presumably mix it with a tea or organic juice.

But PLEASE don't use the zapper until you have done the liquid parasite cleanse first, using the tinctures. And Ted's recommended drink with 1/8 teaspoon borax 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and (working up to 50 or more drops of) H2O2 in a liter of filtered water 3x a day will help the fungal/candida.

I would recommend finding some enzymes that will dissolve the cell walls first. I use Candex. And a no sugar or grains diet to assist.

As far as DE goes, I have never heard of any side effects unless you breath it dry. Don't do that. But to drink it as you are supposed, its great stuff :)

Treating the parasites and fungal issues will sort out everything else. All the other symptoms you mentioned are in line with those. You sound like me. I have been fighting candida for a while now and finally getting it under control. Just be careful not to feel the hibernation they go into and think you are healed. They are tricky buggers. Both fungus and parasites. Will love to hear your progress. Best of Luck!

Hi,

it was suggested to me to take diatemacious earth, food grade. I have fungal issues, athletes foot, vaginal infection, parasites, maybe candida, lyme, ibs, insomnia, bad exhaustion, brain fog, lots of pain in my neck and hip area, esp neck and shoulder, lots of stomach and diges problems, reflux, heart burn, churning gas galore, bloating, distended belly- I am on the thin side, some nausea at times etc etc, allergies, mood swings etc.

How much should I take. I am very sensitive. I want to take enough to help myself, but not so much that it makes me feel awful. Are there any contraindications? I take trazodone, 87.5 mg. and gabapentin 250 mg at night. Any contraindications with other supplements or with using a zapper, I just bought one, it has not arrived yet.

thank you, yekara

What did you take to reduce the cellulite in your legs and how often? I have the same issue.

Jenette: The Rocky Mountain chess champion told me that he was a mediocre player when he thought of all the problems. Thinking of the solution made him better. The solution is enzymes. Enzymes are a mixture of raw nutrients that have more electrons than protons. Enzymes are to nutrients as oxygen is to gasoline. Activated barley has the most enzymes with the highest energy levels. Second is live ferments. Third is raw organic produce and raw grass fed animal products. Enzymes do everything. They nourish the cells, detox the poisons, and zap the pathogens with electricity.

Polycystic Kidney and Liver disease

Hi Ted from Bangkok, at the age of 35, I was diagnosed with PKD and PLD. I was also diagnosed with H pylori and uncontrollable high blood pressure. This year I will be 50 and have more medical issues. I now have 2 bulging disc, herniated disc and a pinch nerve in the C-5, C-6 and C-7. I also have degenerative disc in the L-4, L-5, and S-1, I have head tremors, fibromyalgia with muscle pain all over my body, with severe muscle cramps especially around the neck and shoulders due to the head tremors, eczema, hiatial hernia, edema all over the body, I have lost a lot of hair, and I have several dry patches on my right hand. It took the doctors about 2 years to find medicine that would lower my blood pressure. I now take Atenol and Lisinipril with hctz, which does control my high blood pressure during the day but rises at night while I'm sleeping. I am 20 pounds overweight and my diet for the biggest part of my life and still is foods with a lot of sugar. I now don't eat beef, pork, coffee, tea or chocolate, and very little bread, or pastas due to stomach swelling. I also try to avoid salads, wheat, popcorn, raisins and nuts because it causes diarrhea for days and won't stop so I go to the doctor and they give me what is called a Prev pack with 14 days of antibiotics and Prevacid which works. I try to eat a lot of vegetables, chicken, fish and turkey.

About a week ago, I found earthclinic.com, and I started taking the baking soda 1/2 tsp and citric acid 1/2 tsp. I do feel better with muscle movement, and am feeling like I have more energy, but not cured of all of my illnesses. I want to take the ACV, but I am afraid that it will upset my stomach and cause the H-pylori to start up again. I work at a job that requires a lot of sitting, 80% of my work is sitting in front of a computer typing. I can't sleep on either side of my body because my arms go numb. At night, I use carpal tunnel braces on both of my hands and it helps very little. I don't sleep much at night due to the muscle aches in my body. Can you please help?

Apple Cider Vinegar for Allergies, Colds, Sinus Infections, Sore Throats and General Immunity:

I could not recommend Apple Cider Vinegar any higher!! It has changed my life like nothing else! Re-reading my previous review today, makes me want to get back to taking the stuff regularly every day again, but in truth I haven't been doing that. However, it has been displayed on my kitchen counter without exception now, for the whole time, right next to my coffee pot! I take it about half as often as I would like to, but I still take it several times a week, and I always remember it first thing, when my allergies start to creep up, or there are colds going around at work or in the family.

At the first sign of a sore throat, I begin to gargle with ACV (2 teaspoons in a 1/2 cup of water), and it goes away, very quickly, with no hint of further symptoms. If I start to sniffle or sneeze a bit, I get back to having 2 tablespoons per day, and I feel perfectly healthy again in no time. If I could remember to do it every single day, I don't think I'd ever get that sniffle to begin with! So for immunity and allergies... this stuff has positively changed my life, just as I've heard about from so many others. My allergies are dust, ragweed, and various animals including dogs. In particular, the fall was my worst season, featuring an unstoppable cough all season long, every night when I'd try to lay flat to go to bed. I could never get to sleep, and I'd keep everyone else awake with a non-stop wracking cough, and usually persistent sinus infections with tons of useless antibiotics. Since discovering the benefits of ACV, I've not coughed at all nor needed antibiotics ever since! So life-changing? JUST A LITTLE!!

Yes, it still tastes and smells pretty bad, but you are done with all of that in less than 20 seconds. Are you really such a wimp that you can't handle something minorly uncomfortable for as little as 20 seconds, when the results are so undeniable?!

So, yes, I love and swear by the ACV very strongly still, even if just for those uses, at the least. Others have worried that I am just saying all this to sell bottles of Apple Cider Vinegar, but I am certainly not! I'll happily repeat... this stuff is cheap! There are MANY brands that are just fine, so long as they are raw and have "the mother" in it. I've used 5 different brands over the past 2 years and have noticed no difference other than if one brand was cheaper than the other! So what do you have to lose? My attendance at work has been better than ever in my entire life, and I am now using my sick days for personal days off instead, or else I get a check at the end of the year because I didn't need to use them- I couldn't be happier!

Meanwhile, for weight-loss, and cholesterol, please read this review I've written:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AMDWL7KIPD5G2/ref=pdp_new_read_full_review_link?ie=UTF8&page=1&sort_by=MostRecentReview#R27BJFRZFPX2XX

I've given up sugar a month and a half ago, and lost 31 pounds (I still would like to lose another 30). The author calls it a diet, but it has changed my life already in so many ways in addition to the weight loss! I've learned that I have a dreadful addiction to sugar, and some people may not have as big a problem with it as I do, but sugar has zero benefit, and giving it up, while increasing fiber, has been nothing less than an exceptional experience! I think my ACV use has complimented my results as well! I'm not saying that you need to buy this book, but if you've think you might be addicted to sugar and cheap carbs too, I highly recommend you research what giving up sugar can do for you!

I do think your fighting some type of mystery microbe / life form whether it be viral, bacterial, fungus, parasite or some other exotic life form.You just have to continue investigating every possible cause and treatment that involves chronic diarrhea.

You'd have to go back to before it all started if that exists. If you traveled just before you got it then that is a lead.

Here is a thread I found on chronic diarrhea: http://community.wddty.com/forums/thread/4563.aspxYou may have already read it. Keep us informed if you can figure it out

I googled AMP again and found what you are talking about, realised that I have also tried this product when the problem first started about 10 years ago in the form of gastric gold. Spent a fortune on it for nothing, did not see any improvement. I know this product gives good results to some people because the friend who recommended it had Crohn's and she seen really good results but it didn't work for me. Thanks, Linda

Forgot this ... I would stay away from testing antibiotic for FMS until you figure out the solution to chronic diarrhea.

Not many people have that complaint so I think it is a key thing for you to solve.

Btw, AMP functions as a safe natural antibiotic for intestinal things.

As far as antibiotics, I stop taking any antibiotic if I realize that it is becoming rough on the digestive tract. recovering from the effects can be rough.

For me personally, I have no problems with minocin and amoxicillin and penicillin. each person is different.

If I have to take them, I take them on an empty stomach with bromelaine. I've taken minocin for a couple years with no ill effects. the stronger antibiotics can kill people especially in hospitals care situations so you have to be careful.

You have to experiment with stuff to find out what you react well too. if you get healthier, you may react better than before.

In regards to "AMP is good quality aloe vera juice?"

AMP is NOT aloe vera juice. AMP is highly concentrated and purified form of the ACTIVE component in aloe vera. you'd have to drink about a gazillion gallons of aloe vera juice to get the same amount.

Also know that aloe vera juice contains toxic compounds. that is why people experience side effects from it. AMP has the toxic compounds removed.

Don't confuse AMP tablets with aloe vera juice

Prioris Thanks for trying to help me. AMP is good quality aloe vera juice? I have tried this the real quality stuff I worked with an alternative health person about 18 months ago and she put me on an elimination diet and aloe vera. I did have some success in the begining like with the borax, though not that kind of energy but like the borax stopped working the pain got worse and then after a bit my food started to come through undigested.

With regard to the antibiotics, I have often wondered if it could be some chronic infection which makes me reluctent to take vit d wich I know I am low in. How ever I am a bit frightened to take antibiotics in case it makes things worse.

Redmoon

if you can nip the diarrhea problem, I would suggest you experiment with Seanol (ecklonia cava extract).

AMP (Aloe Muciliginous Polysaccharide) can be found at http://aloereviews.com/Reviews.aspx

I would think diarrhea would set off a chain reaction of mal-absorption problems. you have to find a way to nip that in the bud. once the bacteria in your intestine and diarrhea are under control, you can retest things that you have done in the past.

If you take magnesium, make sure it is highly absorb-able magnesium glycinate since that doesn't cause diarrhea problems like other magnesium forms do.

AMP is relatively expensive but once you get your problem under control, you don't have to take as much anymore. I'd continue the borax at least to some degree.

Redmoon: The cells require around 150 nutrients to function. The bioactivity of vitamin c from a raw organic orange is going to be higher than that from pasturized conventionally grown orange juice. The borax made you feel better for awhile because it contained something your body was lacking. You can get well by eating the best foods that contain the most bioactive nutrients.

Thank you for your responce, it is so good to hear from people who have been able to heal themseles it gives me hope which I really need right now. What are the AMP tablets you are talking about? I googled this nothing came up. I am not sure what you mean about the brain fog but I will google some of the things you talked about? Do you think that I should leave the Borax then and try these other things that you mentioned? Please please email back and thank you. Redmoon

If you have CFIDS/CFS then the brain fog will be resistant to treatment since your dealing with ciguatoxin. I used minocin (not minocycline) to cure my FMS. The pain started to melt away by the second day. The FMS should be treated like an infection. What kind of joint problem - osteo, RA or both? Hyaluronic Acid should easily address the osteo.

Chronic diarrhea is first thing that needs to be addressed ... try AMP tablets.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

I have chronic fatigue, chronic diarrhea, rash on face, fibromyalgia, brain fog and joint pain. Most pain I experience on right side lower part of stomach, around liver area, right shoulder pain. All of these symptoms began about 15 years ago, got much worse after the birth of my son 11 years ago. I have tried every alternative healing practice and diet over this time but have had little success. I recently tried lugul idodine which didn't seem to help much. The one thing that did seem to help was when I tried borax about a year ago which I had read about on this site. It didn't help with the pain if anything the pain got progressively worse but the energy that I felt from if for a period of two weeks was amazing I have not felt like that for years. I actually woke up with energy....I had energy to see friends after work and to execise and feel better for it. Even with the pain it was like I had my life back for a couple of weeks then I crashed again and had to come off it. I am wondering if I should try it again and if anyone here has any ideas about why it worked so well and then stopped?

Thanks, Redmoon

HI U OLE PATOOTS DOIN, , , , , , , , , ,

Sit back a relax because this another one of my ditties. I is a story teller as all will attest. Dang, I 've been down lot of dusty roads .

I went to Atlanta last week to get an Ozone shot in my knee. It still works after I spent 5 years with Orthopedic types to no avail.

While there, my doctor told me about doing Glutathione via a nebulizer. I know all you folks are up to speed and know that Glutathione is the strongest anti oxidantant there is. You produce this compound until you get old like me. Then you get it via IV's and it is expensive. I do that, but my budget is limited. Now, I got a better way.

My Atlanta doctors precribed it to a compounding Pharmacy and it is very reasonable in cost. I also learned from the compounding pharmacist that you can get glutathione eye drops which will delay catarats. We will pursue that also because we both in deep doodoo. Dang, guess we all need to read to survive. Regardless, do glutathione via your nebulizer.

Good people, your traditional doctor is not your friend. He is your enemy. You must rely on what you read for yourself when it comes to your health.

ATS==========RH============

Hi everyone, I would like to tell you about my personal experiences with Apple cider Vinegar. After originally finding out about it trough this very site while trying to find the natural remedy for something called "molestum contagiosum" after our 4 year old sons doctor told us there was nothing they could give him, and his immune system would just have to deal with it in time :/

Let me tell you ACV worked a treat on these highly contagious, itchy horrible skin tag like things! Some of the skin tags had gotten quite large and itchy and my son had taken the tops off some of them from itching. I'd say it took approx 3 weeks for them to TOTALLY disappear. Ideally you should do it after a bath/shower to clean the area, but not essential.

So by just putting a little ACV in the bottle top and applying it with a cotton bud/ cue tip to each individual skin tag. Now I'm not going to lie and tell you this didn't sting him a bit, not to the point of tears or anything, just a slight burning that was quite easy to distract him from with sweets/messing about/focusing on the telly ;) The stinging doesn't last long , a minute or two.

After the 1st week they had started to scab ub, after week 2 the smaller ones had pretty much gone with the larger ones greatly reduced, and after week 3 the larger ones had COMPLETELY gone. Sowing know signs of them what so ever that they was ever there :) yes, no scaring, no surgery, no treatment from any doctor what so ever :-)

Since then I learnt more about ACV and tried it for various aliments for myself since.

For my ACID REFLUX this did not help. Knowing how my body is I have a good feeling that this was due to me having excess acid so was not right for me. This may have worked better for people with acid reflux due to NOT enough acid in there stomach.

For those of you with acid reflux I can tell you that my cure for this to come off tablets from the doctors for this was simply.... "Apples" Different apples will work differently on people, the best ones for me happen to be the "Pink Lady" variety. Eating as and when needed and unfortunately having to start watching what was my certain trigger foods in my diet. While reducing my trigger foods or certainly making sure I had apples to hand after my LOVELY chicken madras ;) Also while I was coming off the tablets from the doctor I was having a lot of part runny honey , part manuka honey to line my throat to give some protection to the burning sensation. ( some of you will no about the separate benefits of honey in itself )

I have not taken any tablets from the doctor in nearly two years now and never will again! I very rarely even have to eat the apples now, and if I do a couple of bites usually works, unless I have had something really bad to eat .... I.e anything with MSG in it . grrrrrrr :@

I have since tried ACV on my athletes foot, and just after a couple of days once or twice pasting it onto my feet with a brush, this was enough to stop the itching. I think you should do this for at least a week every day though to really make sure it goes. Lazyness and sticnking out the place with vinegar has been the only reason that stopped me doing it ;)

I can confirm that using 1 part ACV to 10 parts warm water ( idially distilled water ) makes a great face toner and great for spots!

I can also confirm that ACV is also great for muscle cramp. I forced ACV onto my mother after she was waking up most nights with server cramp in her calf muscles. After two nights of a cap full in some fruit juice of some kind ( better then just water, errr ) her cramps had stopped. This is due to the magnesium found in ACV

Glorius and gallant E.C.: Kim Andrews has a graduate degree in cellular biology. He gives a technical explanation in his blog, rethinking diet- insulin revisited, as to the way raw organic fruit cures all diseases. Three things happen. Fructose reduces leptin, the inflammatory hormone of both the immune and metabolic systems. Leptin fuels diseases. A combination of glucose being burned as fuel and nutrients for the components of the cells increases thermogenesis. This increases electricity. Fructose increases carbon dioxide. This increases oxygen. A combination of electricity and oxygen kills all pathogens.

Diphenhydramine - an Almost Universal Treatment:

Below is an email that I sent to Dr. Lance Becker who was featured in an episode of "Through the Wormhole" called " Can We Revive the Dead". In the exchange I describe a therapy, a "universal" therapy, if you will, that works directly on the mitochondria to inhibit cell death and/or degranulation by inhibiting mitochondrial swelling (links to study and my observations included):

Dr. Becker replied to my below email, "I believe you are correct. There will be many many conditions for which this may prove to be a very important therapy. Keep up the good work!"

"Sir,

Long story short: I am disabled. I have an acquired mitochondrial dysfunction from statin drugs.

16 months ago, prompted by Phizer's research on "Dimebon" and some anecdotal evidence from several with adult onset mito, I started low doses of diphenhydramine hoping for cognitive improvement. What I saw, within 24 hours, was a tremendous decrease in the effects caused by excessive and/or premature cell death. A tremendous improvement in my condition. Because apoptosis is the form of cell death most often seen in my case and because apoptosis requires ATP I saw an immediate doubling of the energy available to me.

I have endeavored to understand and have found the following which explains what I am seeing:

From the abstract:

1. It is shown that a number of antihistamine drugs which prevent liver injury inhibit mitochondrial swelling at concentrations at which they do not affect electron transport or oxidative phosphorylation.

I have been testing this therapy on conditions from autism to MS, not to mention mito patients and the merely aged and, so far, it has led to dramatic improvements in almost every case.

I have chronicled my observations and the research I have found on this here:

In how many areas will breaking the cascade of cell death produce dramatic results?

Post stroke
post heart attack
post concussion
post traumatic shock
post trauma of any kind

What do you think?
