Cure Multiple Ailments

I was wondering, if Ted or someone out there, maybe Joyce could tell me the best way to self diagnose? If you are looking at symptoms, most of the time it can be one of many diseases.

Here on Earth Clinic, it is often very easy to find multiple cures for multiple diseases. When it comes to self diagnosis there is not much. So, how would you know if you have correctly diagnosed yourself without expensive medical testing?

Like all the people Ted treats, how does he know what to treat them for? Does he diagnose them or do they get medical test done somewhere. This seems to be a weak link in the natural medicine field OR a field I have not studied or learned about.

Best example would be a RASH. Possible causes are diabetes, candida, nano, mites, hives, contact derm, eczema Ect. I think you get the point.

Are there at home tests, like a candida test?

Because if we are treating something that has been wrongly diagnosed, that could be why we get alot of the Nays on here.

Thanx!

Thank you, Joyce! Interesting information.

It seems everyone every where is battling skin conditions these days and they nor thier dematologist are able to diagnoise it.

I am ( Knock on wood ) having some great improvement with the urine therapy on my own rash, I have had over 4 years. I thought it was several differant diseases.

This is all the things I have done and it has not gone away yet. I drank 1/4 Teaspoon Borax in liter of water 5 days on 2 days off for 6 weeks. I used a borax peroxide mixture to spray on the rash. Countless fungus and hydrocortazone creams. Covered myself in Nu-Stock for 4 days. Use clove oil internally and externally as well as coconut oil. I used the ph alkaline baking soda remedy. Oh and don't forget the mini beet protocol!

I am sure there has been more, I just can't remember what they were now. After I read about the UT, I figured I had nothing to lose. So the external application is working better than anything else. I know, my whole family is grossed out by it, but the say they can see a great improvement. This is all that counts, if it works it works!

I just hope to continue to get better results and hope this will be a cure and not just a treatment. I am truly amazed at how light the rash has gotten and the skin is returning to smooth. I could always fell the bumps there and some feel as though they are gone now.

I have began to change my diet some also. Being overweight has been my greatest challange in my lifetime. I have lost weight on numerous occasions , but alway seem to put back on more.

There is a workout program on tv, that I am considering ordering. It builds strength as well as looses stubborn belly fat.

My late chiropractor, who passed away this January. Always told me that you can prevent and avoid alot of body injuries, exspecially in the back, if you tighten up your ABS.

My goal is to look and feel better than I did in high school. I have feel off the band wagon before because of Stress. This time, I will try not to re-invent the wheel, but rather just take this life one day at a time. Let the past be the past and everyday be a new journey. We can never change the past, but we can determine our future.

I made so many mistakes as a young man in this world and have alot of regrets. It is now time for me to help my family and other people to avoid those mistakes that I made.

I will be posting a ten point plan for health on here in the coming days. It will be a plan I will try my best to follow.

Thanx again!

Wow! Thank you, Joyce, for such an informative article. I'll print it out and definitely will use your valuable tips!

Thank you so much for sharing this, Joyce. I hope it can help someone- your stories reminded me of my problems when I was young. As a baby I had colic and tubes in my ears 5 separate times and chronic ear infections. At times my mom said the doctor would put me on soy formula and I'd get better and then they'd put me back on milk and the problem would return. It wasn't until I was 12 or 13 that I was finally diagnosed as lactose intolerant- by my pediatrician- a great doctor who I have never been able to replace (sadly he is retired now). I also never knew of the relationship between dairy and ear infections- but it makes soooo much sense now- looking back. Even today if I have just a latte with dairy my ears get a little cloggy and my stomach almost instantly lets me know it's not happy!

This website has been amazing and while I've read about health and nutrition for years- I still feel I'm only beginning to start my journey to help heal myself. I feel like I cannot afford not to- and with eating healthy, it is expensive, but I can't afford the alternative. I've had bad experiences with doctors lately and they are little or no help- none of the ones I see have any knowledge of things you can find here. Either that or they just choose to ignore it. I wish everyone good luck on finding the solution to whatever problems that brought them here. I personally have found some simple remedies to be extremely effective and I'm still working things out and learning what works for my body and how I react. Thank you for all who contribute!

Hello Bee from Anon, USA

Sorry you lost that good old doctor, because it is difficult to find another one these days. These days, all too often the doctors are like my son's. When he called in that he was sick and needed to see him, his doctor instructed him to go to one of those walk-in clinics instead of coming to his office.

My good old doctor that saw my children through their numerous ear and other respiratory problems, was also a practical and down to earth doctor. However, he never connected their recurrent infections with allergies. It took adopting a little dog with allergies to clue me in on that. The first fall we had the little fellow who looked to be rat terrier/beagle mix, he developed a terrible cough that had me about to carry him to the vet when he started getting better. The next spring the little fellow starting his coughing, respiratory bit again. My aha moment said, same as last fall so what is blooming out there now that might be triggering this. I had never noticed the unattractive blooms on the big elm trees in our yard until I went looking for anything blooming and that was the only thing I could find to connect it to. So you can say I learned from a little adopted dog to keep benadryl elixir on hand year round and start him and my children on it when the elm trees bloomed (looked more like a non-colorful nondescript fuzz to me) and keep them on it until the trees leafed out good before stopping it. In the fall the golden rods blooming alerted me to restart the benadryl and keep them on it until the first killing frost. This also helped me with diagnosing the basic problem with patients after I entered the medical field. When those problems occur mostly every spring and fall you can bet it is from allergies to something out there. You can also bet I told their parents to keep benadryl or other antihistamine and watch for mother nature to signal when to start and stop giving it to them.

My good old doctor was better at diagnosing some allergies though. I remember when I went to him and discussed the problem with my colicky, nearly constant crying 3rd. son. This son always ate like he was starving, although he did gain weight. He would nurse & seem content but usually 30 minutes or less after nursing he would be awake & crying. Thinking my milk supply was insufficient, I switched him from breast to whole milk formula. Same old problem, so we then went to a canned evaporated milk formula. Ditto again. After one day of no relief on this one, we went to a skim, powdered milk formula. Same old problem. Ater listening to my sad tale of woe of lack of sleep and a miserable child who was getting as little sleep as I was, my good old doc looked at me and asked "Is he still on skim milk?" and after I nodded yes, he then asked "What are you doing for the constipation?" My reply to that was "What constipation? It is closer to diarrhea than constipation-plenty of slightly formed mushy stools". I can still hear him saying "If he is not constipated on skim milk you can bet your bottom dollar, he is allergic to milk" and advised me to get a soy preparation formula. Got some of that stinky stuff on the way home, mixed it very quickly and fed my crying uncomfortable waif who emptied the 8 ounce bottle in no time at all and promptly went to sleep. Thirteen hours later, for the first time ever, I woke a sleeping baby up to make sure he was alright. Wow, it was like I had swapped a constantly crying, colicky baby for a happy new one that actually made both of us very happy with our getting more sleep.

You aren't the only one learning from EC (and other sites) as I pick up some hints from them myself. I have tested the inhalation H202, oil pulling (personally used EVOO) with results of pulling out something that may have been mercury from multiple fillings from the looks of it. A second round of oil pulling opened a small slit in my gum over the area where most of the silvery colored stuff (whatever it was) came from. Continued oil pulling brought a piece of bone protruding through the gum in this area. After a few attempts to catch it with tweezers failed I just left it alone for a few months, but sure got tired of that bone irritating my tongue whenever my dentures weren't in. After about 6 to 9 months of this, I finally succeeded in breaking this darned thing loose and carrying a needle holder forceps to my daughter and requesting her to close it on that piece of bone so I could pull it out myself. She did and proceeded to remove it for me, declaring it looked like a tooth. I thanked my daughter and told her that she was much better looking and better extractor than my last dentist. After washing the thing off, it appeared to be piece of a root from one of the last molars that was extracted in August 2002. Now everyone will know why I said I couldn't tell you how or why oil pulling works, but it definitely does work somehow or other.

So, fellow ECers, keep on sharing those successes you have, and we can all keep learning from one another.

I was really weak from being sick for a year w/candida, cfs and fibromyalgia. I had e coli last year and just seemed to be sliding downhill since.

I have taken vegetarian enzymes for years when I ate beans, cabbage family, or milk products. But, I have never taken them on a regular basis until a couple of weeks ago. I think I actually felt even worse at first but after about 10 days I started feeling amazingly better. I've tried eating wheat, small amount of sugar and dairy and I still feel better.

By better I mean I don't feel like I have a cold or flu. I actually have some energy. My itching has greatly reduced and the candida symptoms, such as IBS seem to be much improved.

Now, I need to leave the carbs alone and see if I can get really well. But, I was really hungry for them. I sometimes get real energy for a couple of days from eating sugar so I knew that my body just wasn't converting what I ate to energy. But, I think that proves that I wasn't digesting enough food for my body to operate on, and of course, I need even more nutrients for my body to heal. I think I will now have to be careful to not over do all the supplements I take, if they were actually helping me I would probably be taking waaay too many. lol

I'm considering the inhalation therapy for my many problems. I know that I have Cytomeglavirus, Human Herpes 6 Virus, and Epstein-Barre Virus. Right now I am having trouble breathing, a lot of shortness of breath when I speak, and wound up in the ER with Atrial Fibrillation.

Would the H2O2 kill these viruses? Thanks for any input. I know that I used to feel better when I used DMG, which I think oxygenates the blood. I do feel oxygen starved.

Referencing the testimonial about having a 68 yr old man's long distance eyesight regained after ingesting turmeric, I am currently taking 1 Tbsp of turmeric with a heaping Tbsp of ground flaxseed in 500 ml of warm boiled water, morning and night. At night, I also take 1 Tspn of Apple Cider Vinegar with my calcium, magnesium and 5HTP. Am hoping for a broken middle finger's inflammation to subside and for my eyesight to improve. Hopefully, when wearing contact lenses, my dry eye issues will disappear and will no longer cause infection from reoccuring.

Many thanks for the availablility of such valuable information.

I read alot on this site and I am learning new stuff everyday.I believe one of the most important parts of healing the body, mind and soul is through nutrition in our diets. If we don't clean up our DIETS...Then we are only treating symptoms and not curing the body.

I think all of these remedies have thier place and are great at curing up some of our symptoms, But let's all get on changing our habits of what we eat. Food does matter.

A guy on a TV show the other night said ( Cheap food is really not cheap, because it comes back to make you very sick ) Think about all the money you can save,if you cure your body with food. So if it's not organic and fresh,raw or frozen. DO NOT put it into your body. Also what what you drink. There is alot of information out here now and we all need to study and live by it at least 90% of the time. Even if you fall of the ban wagon 10% of the time, I'll bet it is still better than most of us are doing now. Detoxing is also great to and I am seriously considering doing the mini beet protacal.

Thank you Deborah for your Double Whammy Tonic - this combining at one time sounds like the way adding all together -- then shake as you drink in the am after coffee - and later in the day .wondering however if this premixing - and letting all "sit" keeps the strength of the tonic as strong as mixing as you go - also do you refrigerate? Appreciate the tips - Sandee

Hookworms as treatment for allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases...

This is one of those things that will bring an automatic resistance from most people (understandably!), but once again we see that nature holds the keys. If you can get past the squeamish factor, this really is intriguing:

-----------

http://wjz.com/watercooler/hookworm.treatment.therapy.2.1015550.html

Capsulated version of the story in case the link later disappears:

In the developed world, there has been a steady increase in allergies, inflammatory bowel diseases and autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Some wonder if we're too clean for our own good.

...[Dr. Boushey] talks about a theory called the "Hygiene Hypothesis" and wonders if there is something about getting down and dirty early in life that's beneficial to a developing immune system. For proof, Dr. Boushey said look no further than the human body, which is jam-packed with microbes. He explains how our bodies are kind of like Muni buses, crammed with the organisms, saying "there are more bacterial cells in us than there are 'us' cells in us." Dr. Boushey said co-existing with these microscopic creatures may help maintain a healthy immune system. With that in mind, a growing number of Americans are choosing to co-exist with creatures often found in the human gut and dirt.

Jasper Lawrence is one of them. He used to suffer from debilitating allergies and asthma which he says wrecked his life. On a visit home to England, his aunt commented on his appearance. Lawrence had gained weight thanks to the medications he needed to take. He felt fatigued and sick. Then Lawrence saw a documentary that changed his life. The documentary was on helminthic therapy. The therapy involves infecting humans with hookworms or helminths. Once the hookworm sets up shop in the human, the creature secretes a chemical that appears to dampen down the immune response and alleviate allergies and asthmas.

Lawrence tried to secure helminths through a doctor and on websites but to no luck. He finally decided to get infected the old-fashioned way. He would walk barefoot across the open fields of Western Africa, where, thanks to no modern sanitation, he would hopefully pick up some hookworm larvae. He was successful, explaining that you know when a hookworm gets into you. "When a person first gets infected," Lawrence explained, "You get an itch at the site where they first enter the skin. You may cough. And feel fatigued and experience a little diarrhea."

Once he was home, his allergies and asthma disappeared. He then got the idea to help others, by providing the hookworms over the internet.

...One beneficiary is 36-year-old Todd Troutman who works in the high tech field. Before he tried hookworms, Troutman suffered from severe allergies and asthma since early childhood. His allergy attacks were so severe, he moved to environments where there were few trees and grasses.

Troutman found Jasper's story on the web and contacted him through his company. To infect himself, Todd applied a band aid on his arm. On the gauze was hookworm larvae. They then entered his body through his skin. He said his allergies and asthma have finally gone away. But, he cautions, you can accidentally kill the hookworms, and then the problems flare up again. He once had oral surgery, and the anesthesia apparently killed the helminths.

As for the cold hard evidence that this therapy works? Researchers at the University of Nottingham conducted a study in 2006. The study involved 30 participants who suffered from severe chronic allergies.

Half of the volunteers were infected with 10 hookworms. Tests showed their t-cells began to produce much lower levels of the chemicals associated with an inflammatory response. The volunteers also raved about the allergy symptoms disappearing.

...Dr. Boushey believes these helminths may be secreting a chemical that dampens down the immune system response, so the immune system chills out. If that's true, helminthic therapy may have applications for other immune system disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and even inflammatory bowel diseases. However, until he sees more rigorous studies, Dr. Boushey reminds us that hookworms are parasites, and they can cause problems, like anemia. The other concern: that the therapy is experimental and not regulated by the FDA.

That doesn't bother Todd. He has no regrets about the treatment.

I found Jasper's site:

FAQ: http://autoimmunetherapies.com/helminthic_therapy_FAQ.html

Here is another article on an earlier researcher of this same therapy (link is to the New York Times site but was very long, so I TinyURL'd it):

http://tinyurl.com/pgdlyc

"There's a lot of evidence that allergy is just the immune system going a little over the top," he said. "The worms are just turning down the volume."

Based on his results, Dr. Maizels said Pritchard's work looked promising. "I think it's quite likely the hookworms will have a similar effect on the human immune system," he said.

Some scientists say Dr. Pritchard is walking a fine ethical line by infecting patients with a parasite known to risk hosts' health. Peter Hotez, a microbiologist at George Washington University who is developing a hookworm vaccine, said the parasite was among the primary causes of stunted growth and malnutrition in developing countries.

"If a kid is infected with 25 hookworms, he's being robbed of his daily iron requirement, and because the worms suppress the immune system, they can increase the host's susceptibility to diseases like AIDS and malaria," Dr. Hotez said. "So in its current form, I think this therapy is too risky."

Still, he supports Dr. Pritchard's work from the perspective of proof of concept, saying, "The real question is could you isolate the molecules the worms are using to suppress the immune system and use them for therapeutic purposes?"

Because of the potential side effects, Dr. Pritchard does not envision thousands of patients lined up at clinics to receive parasites along with flu shots.

"The worst-case scenario would be to cause damage," he said. "I'm nervous about deliberate infection, but I feel that my hypothesis should be tested rigorously."

His long-term goal, he added, is to figure out exactly how the worms turn down the immune-system radar, so he can borrow the tactics to develop alternatives to immune-suppressant and allergy-fighting drugs. "We're looking at the molecular mechanisms the worms are using, and we're hoping to find molecules that veer the immune response away from allergy," he said.

A new class of drugs that mimics worms' effects on the immune system could also potentially treat Crohn's disease, arthritis and other autoimmune conditions.

Though he eventually hopes to eliminate hookworms entirely from his allergy treatment, Dr. Pritchard has few qualms about venturing where no parasite researcher has gone before.

"I gave myself 50 worms, and I felt it," he recounted. "I had stomach pains and diarrhea. But with 10 worms, we've ascertained a dose that does not cause symptoms. The patients are happy. They've kept their worms, and I get an e-mail a day from people all over the world who want to be infected.

I have been using ACV for nearly a month now and oil pulling with EVCO. I have been sleeping nearly 100% better and my digestive system has greatly improved. However my energy levels are still very low and I am still suffering from migraines about 4 times a month. I am interested in starting H2O2 therapy to see if it will benefit these two debilitating symptoms. Is it recommended to do all three simultaneously? If not, what do you recommend?

I have been wanting to try ACV for a long time, I believe it could be beneficial for Me but am worried because of multiple health issues, I am Diabetic, Anemic, have Hypertension, Arthritis, Degenerative Disk, Gerd, am Overweight, and suffer from Neuropathy.

I take Lantus insulin, gabapentin, lisinopril, zoeloft, percocet, Lovastatin, Terbinafine, and methocarbamol.

My question is what are the risk with ACV all these Meds? And what if any are the benefits to bones?

Thank you for the information. I recently was having unexplained muscle pains, head aches, stiffening of joints, chronic fatigue & more. My doctor tested me for numerous things, and he was unable to diagnose my problems. After cutting several things out of my diet (MSG, artificial sweeteners) I was almost functioning normally again, but could not get rid of the pain. When I finally stopped use of my tooth paste, my pain went away.

I'm not sure if it was the fluoride, propylene glycol (antifreeze) or the sodium lauryl sulfate. All those ingredients has serious side effects. I tell everyone - read the labels!

I brush with baking soda now.

Try mixing equal parts of baking soda, peroxide, and sea salt together for a tooth paste it is great for cleaning your mouth.

Hi Penny, Can you mix this up monthly or do you have to mix as neeeded?

I recommend Tai Chi and Qi Gong practices daily for overall health improvement, sports enhancement and general well-being. These practices have been used by millions of people for thousands of years! I personally have been able to control crippling low back pain that lasted for years...with daily practice I have no pain and my flexibility and functional strength improve daily. Tai Chi has been shown to benefit every major system in the body - cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, immune etc. I believe the benefits are endless if you put in the time!

My boyfriend was suffering from severe abdominal pain for nearly 2 days. He had two prior "attacks" months earlier that we beleived were something to do with his gallbladder. He went to the ER afer hours of vomiting and sever abdominal pain. They ran blood tests, cat scan, x-ays, and ultrasound. Finaly we were told that he had gastritis, an inflamed gallbadder and also a low t-cell count. He was prescribed Nexium. I am very concerned about the low t-cell count. Thet did not tell us the count.I would like to know if anyone has a clue as to why the t-cell count could be low? He does not currently have health insurance so he is unable to see a Dr. right now. I would just like a possible cause to put my mind to rest until then.

I have been following the recommentations at this site with excellent success for five years. No plaque and teeth not sensitive to hot or cold. But I have had two infected teeth which have been successfully treated with Oregano Oil worked into the gums and Bentonite Clay held in the mouth for 5 minutes or so which also helped the sinus area. I used it daily for until the tooth got solid in the jaw and no pain.

Regarding Rosacea - a friend had an ongoing problem with Rosacea. I suggested applying a mix of water and Diatonaceous Earth to the nose area letting it dry and rinsing it off two times a day for 3 days. The friend reported back that the Rosacea was now gone. I had used it on a 5mm diameter lesion on the side of my nose that would not heal for over 2 years. I had used the Diatomaceous Earth on the lesion and it cleared up in a day or two. see http://stephentvedten.com/ see chapter 40.

Healing is Happening! I have been using VCO for a little over 3 weeks now. I have had a persistent bubbly, red rash that comes and goes on my legs for many years. Also, break out on my face with pimples. I also have Fibromyalgia. I heard about the benefits of VCO and started taking it. Over the past weeks, I have noticed several things to indicate that healing is happening. I stopped using cortisone cream for itching on the rash and apply VCO 3 times a day. I am now taking 4 Tablespoons orally. My rash broke out worse at first, but is now beginning to subside. My face has been sloughing off- my pores are becoming clearer all over my entire body. I went through a lot of breakout at first and even a couple of sties in my eyelash areas. I had some nausea and loose bowels, but that eventually passed. My nails are really stronger and healthier. My hair is shiny and soft. I haven't yet seen much improvement in my Fibromyalgia, but, I am looking forward to some kind of positive healing in the near future. I had a wart on the instep of my foot that is almost gone. My skin was dry and itchy all the time and I have seen a great improvement. Initially, I had a lot of sneezing attacks and a lot of clear mucus draining out of my nose. In the mornings, my eyes would water profusely. That has all stopped. I breathe much better than I have in many years. I used to crave starches and chocolates. I don't have those cravings any longer. I have found that if I take a tablespoon of VCO 1/2 hour before a meal, I eat less. I have lost a total of 8 lbs. My breath is fresher and I stopped having to use deodorant. I am looking forward to what the future has in store for me and I am hoping to improve my metabolism and energy level. I will update in a couple of months to let all of you know if there are further improvements.

I'm a 41-year-old female with several ailments. I have had type II diabetes for about nine years now, suffering from chronic hyperglycemia. Also, in the past year I have been diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I believe I also have osteoarthritis, as I snap-crackle-pop more than a box of Rice Krispies.

I have several questions and would appreciate any help or advice:

1. I have been taking ACV for a little over two weeks now. When I take the ACV (1 tsp in 4 to 6 oz of water upon rising and also before dinner) the snap-crackle-pop seems to increase, as well as the pain, to some degree (in some ways I feel better and somewhat more energetic). However, if I take 1/2 tsp baking soda with it, which I have been doing for over a week now, it stops (snap crackle pop greatly decreases). I realize due to the leeching of vitamins and minerals from your body if you take baking soda for too long, you shouldn't do this more than a week at a time. However, as soon as I leave out the baking soda, again I am in pain and bones are cracking. WHY the difference? Should I just keep taking the ACV with the baking soda in it?

2. Why would I hurt when taking calcium? I have a supplement (liquid) that has a proprietary blend of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D (and zinc, too, I believe). It hurts to take any milk or any calcium fortified foods. Turnip greens seem to be the only source of calcium that doesn't hurt me (my arthritis or lupus). I have been taking magnesium oxide for over a month now (500 mg a day...250mg at breakfast, 250 mg at dinner). I don't understand this (why calcium supplementation hurts).

3. My blood pressure used to be normal BEFORE SLE/RA struck, except on treadmill tests, when immediately as I started walking, it went very high. Since SLE and RA diagnosis, it has been high (I took Methotrexate, generic of Plaquenil, and Prednisone for about 5 or 6 months then quit last Aug/Sept). I feel BETTER since getting off those meds, however, my blood pressure is horrible. After more than two weeks of taking ACV (a little over one week with baking soda), I checked my blood pressure at a local pharmacy. It was 182/102. Should I give the ACV awhile longer? Does anybody have any advice on lowering BP?

4. Does anybody know of a diabetic diet guideline that does NOT have milk? I am lactose intolerant, plus any dairy products seem to cause me pain because of the calcium. Every diabetic diet plan I come across insists on MILK exchanges. I've tried soy, almond, and rice milk. I'm allergic to soy, the almond milk sometimes causes worse pain, and rice milk sends my blood sugar skyrocketing.

Thank you for any help.

Hi Bibi,

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

Please help I have been very ill and got worse within the last three years it started out as congestive heart failure, my weight increased and then i started to have blood pressure going as hight as 200/113. Once diagnoised then I was told I never had heart failure even after they gave me meds for these conditions. I am allergic to sulfur which was given for three years without my knowledge to remove fluid retention this caused my skin to show marking and swelling in my face hands and feet, where I was hospitalized for these reactions. I was on a blood pressure medicine which was also something that I was allergic to which caused me to cough, and vomic blood, I found this out by the pharmacy who informed me of the side effects. I stopped taking this drug without the permission of the doctor. got hospitalized again and again for sleeping problems, pain in my left side of the stomach with continously increase in blood pressure etc.

just a month ago I came down with a bad tooth access infection which I was given the drug clindamycin 300 mg. doivan 30 mgs, metoprolol tartrate 100 mg, norvas 10 mg, which did not decrease my illness just seem worse.

The clindaycin caused me to get a rash on my face, tingling, painin my left side, swelling under my arm pits, and in my neck, hives, itching and now bleeding of red blood out of my rectum. I feel faint, can't sleep, have numness and other issues please help.

I have taken the sea salt baths with baking soda, and epson salt, that helps somewhat, also taking dong qua 500 mgs and dandalion tablets, but I feel barely alive and i am frighten to death of doctors now because of failure to diaynois, also was told I had ecoli.

I just wanted to share my morning recipe. I've been drinking this for 30 days with great results. Clearer skin, better mood and energy, lower blood pressure and improved digestion. My blood work was excellent! Anyway, I figured all the ingredients I've been researching would make for a great morning mix. This is what I drink EVERY morning...

1 or 2 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tbsp ACV (braggs; apple cider vinegar)
1 tbsp flaxseed oil with lignan
1 cup vegetable juice (I use Bolthouse Farms "Vedge")
fresh lime juice (optional)

I mix everything but the juice in my food processor. Once the garlic is minced then I add the juice. Warning this is spicy but it tastes like a blood mary.....CHEERS! To your health!

THEN! I have my "breakfast"
1 cup blueberries or mixed berries
1 cup Bolthouse "purple carrot" juice blend
1 tbsp raw honey
1 packet Emergenc vitamin c blend

mix in a blender and YUM!

So, before I leave the house I have had all my veggies and fruits and feel ready to conquer the world! I'm 42, a vegetarian (6 months) have two children, one has autism and I teach 6th grade...I need to have my energy and health. My daughter teases me and says I'm a walking antioxidant. Blessings to all. I love this site! Marisa
