Borax
Posted by Chiangmaisue (Chiang Mai, Thailand) on 01/10/2012
(Note to Earth Clinic folks - I have been greatly helped by Earth Clinic. This is my first time to post. I live in Thailand and it is very hard to find some of the remedies posted on the site. If you won't be able to post the Good Karma info, I understand. But I hope you might for the sake of desperate foreigners like me who live in Thailand. They also carry Epsom Salts and Bentonite clay! )
Good news for those living in Thailand who, like me, have had a difficult time finding pharmaceutical grade borax. Good Karma (supposed to be Thailand's only online health store) now carries it. http://www.healthfoodthailand.com/index.php
Thanks,
Chiang Mai Sue
Bag Balm

You can find it just about anywhere these days; Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS. It's in a square tin vs. a jar or tube.

Probably find it at any farmer's co-op. It is a very soothing and healing cream.
Speaking of bag balm reminds me, any of you following the current information on dairy products made from the milk from the cows shot full of BGH to make them produce more milk causing breast cancer in women, and causing more udder problems in the cows themselves. Wonder what else we will eventually learn it causes.

Borax
Posted by Misty (Crivitz, Wi) on 12/27/2011
I found this on the 20 Mule Team product website. Yes, its made by Dial but according to this, it appears that 20 Mule Team is more pure than the Mountain Rose brand which contains only 70% borax.
How much Borax is in 20 Mule Team? 20 Mule Team® Borax is comprised of 99.5% pure borax, a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen, and water. (The scientific name for borax is sodium tetraborate decahydrate. ) The remaining 0.5% is composed of trace minerals.

Magnesium Chloride

Thanks a lot Bill, I'll try what you suggested, I'll inform you later with the result. Merry Christmas and more blessings to all...
Magnesium Chloride
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, Philippines) on 12/11/2011
Hi Rudy... You can maybe try to get magnesium chloride or Magniesium Oil at Megamall SM or Mall of Asia SM at their
Healthy Options stores there. If you can't find the Magnesium Chloride, get the Magnesium Sulfate(Epsom salts) from
Healthy Options -- it is very cheap to buy and only costs 99 pesos per large milk carton. I take the Epsom salts orally and I also put it into a small garden flower sprayer as a solution and spray it all over my body after showers and it is transdermally absorbed similar to the magnesium chloride. This is also a good way of getting alot of magnesium into your body more quickly than the oral route. You can also directly spray over areas that have cramp problems and this will also help to reduce BP.
I do have chemical grade Magnesium Chloride crystals as well, but I bought this in Thailand and only use it for more major problems if and when they arise. Other forms that you can buy for oral use are Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Gluconate -- which are also definetely sold at the Healthy Option stores.
For high blood pressure there is a herb that is quite useful called Tinospora cordifolia -- called Makabuhay in Filipino -- and you can purchase stem sticks quite cheaply at Quiapo Market in Quezon. This market sells herbs and they will have Makubuhay.
Preparation of Makabuhay Decoction
* Cut three 15" sticks into smaller three inch sticks.
* Bash the smaller sticks and open them up.
* Throw the sticks into 2 liters of water and simmer on low heat until the liquid is reduced to 1 liter.
* Cool, strain and store in fridge.
* Take a third of a glass of this decoction twice a day with any fresh, non-processed fruit juice(makabuhay tastes very bitter).
Makbuhay helps to thin the blood and reduce BP by diuretic action, helping to remove excess cholesterol from the blood and it also helps to remove excess calcium. It is also advisable to take a mineral supplement while using this decoction over the longer term because of its mild diuretic effects.
Also, try and reduce vegetable oils, sugar, dairy products and refined salt in your diet -- these are all causative factors in high blood pressure conditions. Use VCO, stevia(safe herbal sweetener) and sea salt instead in your diet. This will all help to reduce high blood pressure.

Posted by Nattakit (Bangkok, Thailand) on 10/22/2011
I've found a pharmaceutical factory in Thailand producing Lugol's 5% solution. They produce for veterinary use. I talked with the pharmacist and managing director and was told that though it is meant for veterinary use, human use should be O.K. As the production standard is equivalent to human drug. Besides it's a B.P. Formula that is accepted the world over. You may contact them and ask for small bottle with dropper (not offered in their standard size bottle). The email address is

I have just come across Manuka Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar (with mother) in Boots chemist. It is said to be all pure from New Zealand.
Has anyone tried this or is there anyone who will say not to try it? From reading many posts on many different sites regarding ACV I know the mother is very important and together with honey it goes well.
If anyone has any feedback or anything to say on this, please get back to me as I am thinking about giving this a go ( I suffer severe muscle /joint pains, with it likely to be beneficial to my family).

If you paid by a bank visa card you may be able to get a refund from visa/mastercard. I know in Australia if we notify visa that we did not receive the goods we get a refund. I used to work in an insolvency accountants office and if a company went bankrupt, the only creditors to get their money back were ones who had paid by credit card.

Borax
Posted by Nattakit (Bangkok, Thailand) on 08/12/2011
You won't find Epsom salt in Thailand, it is known in Thai as "Dee Klua Farang" available at most of Thai and Chinese herbal medicine shops.
Borax
Posted by Nattakit (Bangkok, Thailand) on 08/12/2011
I think you can try finding at Vidthayasom located at Rajdamnern Ave. They open Mon. -Fri from 9. 00 a. M. - 5. 00 p. M. Call and ask first at 02-3817100.
I had the experience in dog mange. I used hydrogen peroxide, the normal grade 3-5% that you can find at any pharma shop. Do not select the clear bottle, use only the brown one. Mix about a half a red bull cap with the food twice a day. The smell will recede within a few days together with the itching and hair will eventually grow.

Posted by Bess (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on 08/09/2011
Hi Mysterri - From what I understand, Project Green Life isn't answering anyone's phone calls, emails or sending out their products right now (
http://www.mmsfacts.com/project-green-life-closed). See second paragraph. If you paid by charge card, you should be able to get a refund. I don't use MMS but, from what I understand, the FDA raided a number of natural or alternative markets in the USA recently - maybe Project Green Life was one of them.

I ordered a bottle of the MMS along with a bottle of the activator from Project Green Life and was ripped off by a woman named Tammy. I never received the product and am out 45$ for the experince. I hope in the future to be able to actually order and receive a starter kit from a reputable source. Any ideas on where I can find a trusted seller of MMS?
