Re: Does H202 Have to Be in a Glass Bottle?
3 hours agoRe: Raw Local Honey for Phantosmia
3 hours agoI got phantosmia after an endoscopy, weird, I know, but I have had it for 3 months. My husband suggested I try a spoonful of local raw honey. It works when we are struggling with pollen, and it couldn't hurt, so I tried it. I didn't expect anything. I woke up the next morning and didn't realize it right away, but it was gone. I figured that we cracked the code and it was finally over. Not quite. I now have to take a teaspoon of it daily or it comes back within 30 hours. But, I have real relief. It's cheap. It's natural. It tastes great. I am very happy! Thank you God!
Does H202 Have to Be in a Glass Bottle?
16 hours agoI live in East Asia and I've never seen H202 in a glass bottle, only plastic. Is this a problem? If it is, I'll have to get AI to help me find it in glass.
Electrolyte Drinks for Clogged Ears
16 hours agoElectrolyte Drinks
I had clogged ears off and on for a year. Every time I take a shower my ears will clog. When I wake up the clogged feeling would move from one ear to the other. Well I started drinking Body Armor drinks and it has b-vitamins, vitamin A, potassium and coconut water. Well I noticed my ears felt 80% better after drinking the drinks for four days. I'm realizing dehydration could be a contributing factor in ear health as well as nutritional deficiencies.

24 hours agoHi Sana,
Two topicals that I would mention are 1) Stopain Roll On which is available at Walmart and Amazon. Here is a link to it :
https://www.amazon.com/Stopain-Strength-Temporarily-Relieves-Arthritis/dp/B07CTRBGHC/ref=sr_1_1?
And 2) Melatonin Lotion (ML) which I explain how I make it here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
You might read some of the replies to get an idea of what users have found it helpful for.
I have also used both together at the same time, which seems to be slightly better than either one alone. The melatonin also has some healing effects whereas Stopain is mainly pain relief. Both reduce inflammation.

Re: Low IgG and Chronic Bladder Infection - Questions for Art
1 day agoHi Maggie,
The supplements I am aware of don't boost the immune system, but rather help the immune system to operate closer to how it is meant to operate. Several that come to mind quickly are vitamin D, Zinc, magnesium glycinate selenium and melatonin. There are others, but these ones have significant studies that tend to support their usage for the support of your immune system.
The combination of vitamin D / VDR , melatonin, magnesium glycinate, selenium and zinc also have potential synergy.
Your doctor needs to approve your usage of these supplements for your safety and to be sure they will be compatible with any medications you are taking.
Please keep us updated on your progress.

Re: 4 New Remedies for CKD
1 day agoThank you for the kind words, Mo!
Kidney disease has increased in some recent research, but not all and there are multiple reason's for this. Several common reasons are hypertension, diabetes, aging and obesity.
You didn't give your age, Mo, but a common reason for frequent urination at night is an enlarged prostate/Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and this commonly starts to show symptoms in men after age 40, but actually begins much earlier. Usually these frequent trips to the bathroom at night are accompanied by reduced urine flow or as one friend described to me, SOS or a dit, dash and drop of urine at a more advanced stage.
I have seen several friends find some relief from BPH by applying melatonin gel to their perineum in the morning and in the evening about an hour or two before bedtime. The benefit seems to appear quickly if the symptoms are relatively new, but takes about a month if the symptoms have been around for quite awhile. Regular application is important. I explain how I make melatonin gel here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-gel.html
Melatonin lotion or melatonin gel also offer some pain relief for certain causes such as fibromyalgia and many other pain issues as was discussed in the reply posts at this link :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
Warning : It is imperative that you get your doctor's approval and supervision before using either of the above because there are other potential causes besides BPH for the symptoms you described and your doctor can make sure it will be compatible with any medications you are taking. Your doctor will also determine if you actually have BPH or some other health issue.
Please keep us posted on your progress, Mo, if your doctor approves this usage.

Re: Low IgG and Chronic Bladder Infection - Questions for Art
1 day agoThank you Art. It's a low grade infection for which antibiotics have not worked. I am planning on trying the GSE next. Salt water seems to help. My bladder is actually being very reasonable with supplements so I think I can try this.
Are you aware of any way to boost the immune system? Unfortunately the doctors are not much help. I was reading Ted's archives and he seemed to think mycoplasma could be a reason ... And heavy metals as well on why infections don't clear. I am speculating of course but what could cause a low immunity? The doctors ran tests and of course nothing was found. And could I try lysine and threonine to help my immune system? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Thank you so much for your help
Re: Day 9, No Improvement Using Borax for Rosacea and Demodex Mites
1 day agoI suffer rosacea and had to cut out coffee, sugar, hot spicy food and alcohol. I know that's bland, but it did get rid of it. Also, do NOT use hot water on your face and do NOT use a washcloth on it. Pat your face with water when washing and only pat dry with the towel.
good luck, you can do it!

2 days agoDMSO for Cysts, Herpes
2 days ago
I'm sensitive to iodine, but I've used diluted (with distilled water) DMSO topically on sebaceous cysts AND on herpes outbreaks with WONDERFUL success. The DMSO works faster than Valtrex for me without ANY side effects. For both my HSV and cysts, I've seen improvement after a single application (though I use 2x/day until symptoms are gone).
I have not had any luck using it for psoriasis patches, so it's not a panacea.
Low IgG and Chronic Bladder Infection - Questions for Art
2 days agoHi Maggie,
Just to be clear, that remedy you referenced, used Grapefruit Seed Extract, not Grape Seed Extract.
You didn't say if you tried the remedy or not. So if you tried it and it didn't help or didn't help enough, you can consider adding AZO, a product available on Amazon and most drugstores, if your doctor approves it. If you haven't tried the remedy yet, it may not be possible to use the grapefruit seed extract (GSE) now because your bladder is now irritated and the GSE can potentially irritate it further once it is irritated.
Warning: A UTI that has been around for 5 months has likely developed significant resistance to antibiotics and if the above does not stop it, it may be a super infection and require a specialty antibiotic to stop it. Your doctor will have to make that determination.
Natural remedies seem to work best when taken at the first signs or symptoms of a UTI and less so after having the infection for 5 months.
The low IgG level is definitely a problem for your immune system to properly fight against this UTI. Your doctor needs to determine the cause of the low IgG level to help stave off future infections.
Keep us updated on your progress!

Low IgG and Chronic Bladder Infection - Questions for Art
3 days agoDear Art, I have been reading a lot about remedies posted by Ted and yourself over the years. I am familiar with your protocol for UTI, I remember it involves grapeseed extract, salt and d mannose. The bacteria showing in the urine has been shifting starting from streptococcus, then e coli, now enterococcus faecilis.
I am a 46 years old female going through peri menopause and have had a bladder infection for the last 5 months that I am having a hard time to clear. My bladder is irritated now and I have to be very careful regarding what I eat. In addition I have low IGG levels as well. My cd57 is also low. As far as I know I don't have Lyme. I also experience insomnia and anxiety. I would really appreciate your input on where to start to help my immune system and get rid of this infection. Thank you so much.

CV Vaccine
3 days agoJust discovered your gr8 site today, after initially finding many 'cautionary'/allopathic-based sites that weren't helping. I've a history of mild asthma, but this year, the symptoms escalated, having to use salbutamol inhaler sometimes 5 x in a night. I've heard recently that 'un-cov-vaxed' folk like myself, are now subject to spike-protein shedding, from all the other folk who had them, & this may have exacerbated my symptoms (not sure). I believe sp.-proteins worsen any underlying weakness, so have been taking alpha-7 nicotinic acetylylcholine & Moringa caps to counteract this. However, they've not improved the asthma, so your site is a godsend for me, with many gr8 suggestions, which I'll try, systematically.
