Re: Advice for Cold Sores
YES YES YES!!! I use Super Lysine whenever I start to feel run down, or if in the summer I've been out in the sun too long. If I miss the window and a cold sore starts, I go heavy on the Vitamin C (up to 10,000mg throughout the day) for a few days. Vitamin C can knock just about anything out, or at least keep it at bay until something else comes along. Also, for direct lip balm application, I use Herpecin-L, excellent stuff. Several dabs a day with h2o2 also helps.
Re: Nattokinase Daily Usage Question
There are no studies confirming Nattokinase is effective for any condition, only suggestions. There will never be any studies confirming its effectiveness. There is no economic benefit in such studies. The suggested dosages on bottles are low for liability reasons. No one is going to tell the truth about how much to take. The internet is full of people saying they took 2000 or 4000 fu a day and got little or no results. They will ask if they should increase the dosage, as if enzymes are a prescription med they are self prescribing and may harm or kill them. Well, the answer is YES! Of course and immediately! Enzymes are not gonna harm our kill you. If you have serious problems you have to take serious dosages. Double the dose, triple the dose. Take 20000 to 40000 fu 3x a day. You gotta get those enzymes in your blood and keep them there 24 hours a day working. If you're scared of taking enzymes then just go get more poison from a doctor and wait for your surgery. Enzymes are for serious people who want real help with real problems.

Re: Treating Lipomas
3 hours agoI saw a guy talking about having lipomas on his body all his life and had them removed, but they came back. Then he heard that water fasting would help take them away. He started fasting and indeed saw the lipomas go away. They say the body can heal the body and remove things that don't belong. He said that now he fasts about 3 days a week. That seems a bit excessive to me but I'm not sure how much he eats when he's not fasting. I am about to give this a try but I like to eat so we'll see! If it gives me good results then I believe it will be easier for me to do it. I will try one day a week at first to see. Then go a day and a half, which is 36 hours, and they say magical things do begin when you fast that long! I will update after a couple of months!
Ocular Migraines Stopped With Incandescent Lightbulbs
3 hours agoReplace LED Lightbulbs With Incandescent
On my long journey with ocular migraines and headaches, an acquaintance suggested replacing LED lightbulbs with incandescent lightbulbs to prevent headaches. It simply never occurred to me that this new LED technology might be contributing to my migraines in some way.
Anyway, to cut a long story short - my lightbulbs in my living areas, particularly my reading lamps, now have incandescent lightbulbs in them. The difference is night and day. The light is so much more natural and calming. I have not had a migraine in months and I attribute this solely to using incandescent lightbulbs. Hope this information can help someone.
Oral DMSO Side Effects
3 hours ago
Water retention and changes in urination frequency due to oral ingestion of DMSO
I'm 35 years old, I take DMSO orally since a couple of months ago. The reason was to increase supplement absorption, for health purposes such as anti-inflammation.
I was taking about 4 drops of 99.9% DMSO in 350-400ml of distilled water twice a day on an empty stomach, in the morning and before bed. I've stopped now, but I sometimes mixed it with supplements.
In addition, I routinely use supplements such as methylene blue, NMN, alpha-lipoic acid, spermidine, CoQ10, resveratrol, omega-3, magnesium, GABA, glycine, and melatonin—mainly those that support mitochondrial function and provide antioxidant benefits.
However, my body has recently started showing signs of water retention. Since I don't have a scale at home, I always weigh myself at the gym in the early afternoon or evening, and my weight has increased by 3-4 kg.Caffeine and potassium-rich teas, which used to have an immediate diuretic effect on me, no longer work as quickly. I also suspected kidney failure and heart failure, but the blood tests showed no abnormalities.However, for some reason, I don't really notice much edema in my body. Since I have a job that requires standing, I feel my legs are slightly swollen after work, but there's no noticeable edema.
I don't have any problems going about my daily life, but the pace at which fluids are expelled as urine is slow, and I wake up 2-3 times during the night to use the bathroom. Each time, I urinate the maximum capacity my bladder can hold. This happens every 3-4 hours. It might also be related to the fact that I was dependent on Ketamine, marijuana, Kratom for several months and was taking high doses every night.
It's been 4 days since I stopped ingesting DMSO, and my symptoms haven't gone away. Since I'm continuing to apply it for dental treatment, I can't say I've completely discontinued use, but I have stopped oral intake. After doing some research, I heard that DMSO can sometimes cause fluid retention. Does anyone have similar experiences from DMSO intake, or have you heard about such cases?
Re: Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda for Gout
3 hours agoThanks for sharing this gout relief protocol. I've used baking soda with water, and it definitely helped and apple cider vinegar separately to manage gout symptoms and reduce inflammation, but never together with honey.
However, I'm going to try it and give an update if successful.
Re: Visual Snow Syndrome - Remedies Needed
3 hours agoHi Mark from Co,
Your post from March slipped by me, I find this post interesting because about a year ago I was seeing what looked like circles snow. I had never heard anyone speak of this before. It went on for a few months until I figured that maybe I was taking too many blood thinners. I am in my seventies. I cut down on the aspirin and stopped gingko biloba for a few months, then started gingko back months later at a lower dosage. The visual snow stopped from that day forth. Maybe it was a miracle. It never returned.

3 hours agoWater to Ingredient Ratio for Detox Foot Baths
3 hours agoHi all,
I remember watching a video about how one should add a specific amount of healing ingredients to a specific amount of water when doing a foot soak but I forgot the ratios and can't find the video.
In the video it was claimed that if one mixes to much or to little then there will be less or no absorption and less or no detox.
Anybody knows how much healing ingredients should go with how much water in a foot soak?
Thank you
Re: Large Dose of Apple Cider Vinegar Starting to Shrink Lipomas
3 hours agoKathy, I'm so excited that it has worked so well for you! I don't have a whole bunch of lipomas but I can feel a bunch of them on my abdomen right below my rib cage. I'm a chubby girl so they don't show. I am also taking ACV and have been for a couple of weeks now. I feel that they are softer because they don't hurt when I press on them. They used to be so sore! And I have one on my right forearm. Let's see if it works!
Oil Pulling
3 hours agoOil pulling is one of the Ayurvedic protocols used in panchakarma which originates from India. Traditionally cold pressed sesame oil is used. A lot of comments theorise what the oil is actually doing. Oil is used in a wide variety of applications in panchakarma and has a nourishing affect, aswell as a binding and drawing effect in pulling toxins out of the body. Coming from a 9th generation ayurvedic practitioner that I see in SE Asia. I go to see him for treatments that can do miraculous things like pull mercury out of the brain. Westerners wouldn't believe that a simple oil could do something like that, but I have witnessed it. Prepared in the correct way, Oil has an amazing ability to heal and draw out toxins from the body. 5 thousand years of hindu science based on Vedic scriptures. Powerful stuff.

Borax Treatment for Trigger Finger Not Yet Working
1 day agoHi Michele,
Two other things you can try while testing the oral borax are mag oil or melatonin lotion.
Here is a link to a typical mag oil spray :
Here is a link to how to make melatonin lotion and what it has shown benefit for :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
The two topicals can also be used simultaneously.
Melatonin has shown benefit for tendon issues as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7714296/
Here is a relevant quote from the article :
' Exogenous melatonin application in overuse tendinopathy reduces oxidative stress and inflammation. Melatonin might be an alternative potential molecule to corticosteroids in the treatment of chronic tendinopathy. '
The use of melatonin lotion instead of oral melatonin will allow you to reach very high local tissue levels in your fingers and hand that are not possible with oral melatonin.
Magnesium has anti inflammatory effects and may help the tendons as discussed here by Google :
- Reduces inflammation: Magnesium has anti-inflammatory properties that can help decrease inflammation in tendons, a common issue in conditions like tendonitis.
- Aids in tissue repair: It helps activate enzymes necessary for injured tissue repair and plays a role in nerve impulses for muscle contraction and relaxation.
- Promotes muscle relaxation: By helping to relax tense muscles and reduce spasms, magnesium can provide relief for the muscles surrounding an injured tendon.
- Improves circulation: It can improve blood circulation to the muscles, which aids in healing and recovery.
- Inhibits calcification: Studies indicate that magnesium can help inhibit the calcification (hardening) of the extracellular matrix in tendons, which is linked to a decrease in the magnesium-to-calcium ratio.
- Attenuates fibrosis: Magnesium ions have been shown to reduce fibrosis (scarring) in tendon grafts after surgery.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Similarly to melatonin lotion, mag oil allows you to reach higher local tissue levels compared to oral magnesium.
Please keep us posted on your progress!

Borax Treatment for Trigger Finger Not Yet Working
1 day agoHi. I watched your video and have followed the directions to a T -- used the brand you recommended, etc. I started out taking 1/16 tsp for 3 days, followed by 1/8 tsp for 7 weeks. It had absolutely no effect on my trigger finger whatsoever, so I increased it to the men's dose of 1/4 tsp. I've now been taking that dose for 2 weeks and am now at week #9 since I started this whole thing. I'm sorry to say that this has had zero effect on my trigger finger. I'm really desperate because I need my hands to type for my profession and the finger is on my dominant hand. I've had two injections already. I've been offered a third injection (can only have 3 in one year or 6 total in the same location). Every injection weakens the tendon/joint. I don't want to take a chance with surgery because without the A1 pulley as a guide, the tendon could become unstable or could catch on something and be damaged. I'll give this 13 weeks, a full 3 months, but if I don't start to see some improvement, I'm going to have to give up on this. I'm also on an anti-inflammatory diet and taking standardized curcumin (turmeric), ginger, and fish oil, among other things. I tried Aleve for a while. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be happy to try them.
Re: Olive Leaf Extract for EBV
1 day ago@ Hollyhock
Here is what the Amish say about Olive leaf tincture.
OLIVE LEAF - The Olive Leaf in liquid extract form is renowned for defeating harmful micro organisms. As an antibiotic, it proceeds with equal ability against virus and bacteria and many types of fungal parasite problems. The Olive Leaf possesses the ability to disrupt the virus when it tries to reproduce and stops it in its tracks. Users also report other categories of improvement, including increased energy with repair of heart and circulatory problems, and normalized blood pressure. Freedom from recurrence of colds and flu with fatigue and muscles soreness, demonstrate Olive Leaf's role in strengthening the immune system's scavenging ability.*
DOSE:40 to 80 drops (3) times per day. 40 drops per day as a maintenance. 40 drops hourly, if continued antibiotic relief is needed.
I make my own tinctures (1:4 ratio) so for the mg… I don't know but it's STRONG.
For your long covid, I give my clients ivermectin horse paste about the size of a pea once per day for 3 days. Also, I give them my proprietary Cold and Flu 11 Herb Formula. Knocks it out in 3 days.
Hope this helps..
