Confused About Borax Dosing
57 minutes agoI'm a bit confused about dosing with Borax and would like someone to explain where I'm going wrong.
I've ordered a pharmaceutical grade Borax from " PERSCRIBED FOR LIFE." The package lists a serving size of 1/16 of a teaspoon consisting of 250 mg Borax containing 27 mg of Boron.
Using "Ted's" protocol for men of 1/4 teaspoon in a litre of water sipped throughout the day would deliver 1000 mg borax containing 108 mg of boron per day.
The " Walter Last" style stock solution on the other hand, lists 1 teaspoon of Borax dissolved in 1 quart of water with 1-2 teaspoons/day. One teaspoon = 4000 mg of Borax and 432 mg of boron. One quart of water contains 192 teaspoons. 192 teaspoons ÷ 432 mg of boron = 2.25 mg of boron / teaspoon. 2 × 2.25 = 4.5 mg/ day.
So Ted's protocol delivers 108 mg of boron/ day and Walter Last only 4.5! How are these 2 protocols comparable?
Further research on a substack called "CURIOUS OUTLIER" states that the human equivalent dose derived from animal studies on boron is 0.81 mg/ kg. I weigh 97.5 kg which comes out to 78.975 mg of boron per day. Please, is my arithmetic and reasoning correct?
Re: Activated Charcoal for Tooth or Gum Pain
59 minutes agoWhen my cats or I have an abscess, we ingest Activated Charcoal with plenty of water, even with our food. Because, although many think it might absorb some important nutrition, a study was done that shows just the opposite is true.. .
"Digestion & Metablism Indices of Sheep When Using Activated Charcoal Supplement"
https://thescipub.com/pdf/ojbsci.2017.121.127.pdf
(Online Journal of Biological Sciences)
ALSO, people who take it 3 times a day for odor control (those who must wear a bag for fecal contents due to having had their bowel removed) do so for many years without any reports of nutritional deficiencies.
Even animals in the wild have been observed seeking out sources of regular charcoal to eat & benefit from!

1 hour agoI have* a ganglion cyst in my ACL and I'm scheduled for surgery this fall to remove and reconstruct my ACL. A month ago, I started applying castor oil and frankincense 1x2 daily. I also am using DMSO and a red light, but not as consistent or frequent. Today, I'm also back to my full range of motion. I called to inquire about canceling surgery this morning. Thanking the Lord for guiding me into truth and for healing.
Borax Questions
1 hour agoI have a family member that has osteoarthritis, and takes a lot of meds for other issues. Is Borax safe to take with medications? I'm also interested in it but I was wondering if I could add tart cherry (gout) to the borax and 2 liters of water or would one cancel out the other? Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
Re: Positive Health Loop (PHL) for Alzheimer's
1 hour agoDear Art,
Alzheimer's is a personnel issue for me. My father is sitting in an Alzheimer's Ward in a Nursing Home. He is 94 and every time I visit him he wants to die because he does not have his freedom. He is lost, confuse, afraid amoung many other issues. He did not want to help himself before and nothing can help him now, because of his living situation I am thankful for your post and giving me a better understanding of PHL. I just want to make sure people have more information than they need because if you have been around a person with Alzheimer's, they are not the same person as before.
Thanks again for all you do!
Re: Positive Health Loop (PHL) for Alzheimer's
8 hours agoHi again, ariley,
Another important aspect of the PHL is that every component either directly or indirectly has a positive impact on the gut microbiome. I didn't go into the details of this in my original post as I was trying to keep it simple and to the point, but here is a comprehensive breakdown of how each component contributes toward a healthy gut microbiome and reinforces each other toward this end.

Re: Positive Health Loop (PHL) for Alzheimer's
13 hours agoDear Art,
I wanted to expand on to your gut health.
Importance of Gut health!
Probiotics can improve spatial memory, reduce hippocampal plaques, and restore synaptic plasticity in AD models. Gut microbiota functions as a dynamic endocrine system that produces bioactive metabolites, such as GABA, serotonin, and dopamine, essential for regulating mood and supporting cognitive function.
One study showed in autopsy of individuals with Alzheimer's that Lactobacillus was low and Bifidobacterium high.
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate and propionate, produced in the gut, can reduce brain inflammation by strengthening the blood-brain barrier and inhibiting inflammatory pathways in brain immune cells. They also enhance the production of regulatory immune cells that help control neuroinflammation.
Alterations in gut microbiota can lead to increased production of cytokines, which may contribute to neuroinflammation and conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

This is a reason I promote using a Leaky Gut Protocol even if you don't have Leaky Gut. You kill off parasites, bacteria, candida etc. Heal the gut and reestablish good bacteria. This aids in many health issues.

14 hours agoRe: Parasite Testing Methods
14 hours agoI had the same experience with my doctor. However, by the time I received negative results, I was already using a parasite detox and passing worms and eggs. I have since learned that parasites are active during a full moon and that's the best time to test. A veterinarian is your best bet for testing. Other than that, there are only two labs worthy of testing your feces for worms. One lab is in Texas and the other is in Mexico, where in some regions they are required to detox parasites. My doctor admitted she knew nothing on the subject of parasites, as it's not taught in medical school. She asked me too keep her posted. I spoke to her assistant about my findings. One week later I got a call back, asking me to come in for another test. No need for a stool specimen. This test would be performed by a Psychologist. I was told that I could be experiencing a type of psychosis. I agreed to come and bring my two daughters and my grandchildren for testing. Those that saw the worms and eggs. She back peddled, shocked that someone else beside myself had seen the little worms. I haven't been back to see my doctor since. I've had worms exit my nose, ears, anus, and skin.

23 hours agoThank you very much for saying so, ariley!
I'm glad you brought estrogen and testosterone up. If you check with AI, I think you will find that the PHL will tend to have a normalizing effect on estrogen and testosterone levels. Here is a little AI snippet on that topic :
Based on what we know about the biology of the components of the PHL, it is plausible that the PHL could help maintain or normalize sex hormone signaling in aging, but it is unlikely to substantially increase estrogen or testosterone levels directly. In the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD), that distinction is important because preserving hormone function and receptor responsiveness may matter as much as increasing hormone concentrations.

Positive Health Loop (PHL) for Alzheimer's - Art New Article
1 day agoDear Art,
Great Post!
https://neurolaunch.com/estrogen-effects-on-male-brain/
Men produce estrogen continuously through an enzyme called aromatase, which converts testosterone into estradiol right inside brain tissue. That locally produced estrogen shapes memory formation, protects neurons from degeneration, regulates mood, and keeps cognitive function intact across a man's entire lifespan.
----
The more fat a male, especially belly fat, more estrogen is produced leading to lower testosterone levels.
Long-term health risks associated with estrogen dominance in older men include infertility, erectile dysfunction, gynecomastia, and an increased risk of conditions such as dementia, depression, cancer, diabetes, and blood clots.
--------
Oestrogen levels and dementia risk in senior women
Oestrogen plays a role in memory-related brain areas, and its levels drop significantly after menopause, which may increase dementia risk. Some studies suggest hormone replacement therapy timing around menopause could influence this risk.
Benefits of Bio-Identical hormones are beneficial in memory and mood.
Wanted to show the importance of Estrogen and Testosterone in men and women. A what is considered a Female Herb can aide men in Estrogen dominance. It lowers prolactin levels to balance hormones.
