3 hours agoHi Gracie,
His doctor will probably want to put him on at least one blood thinner/anti-clotting agent and possibly low dose aspirin. Please ask his doctor if he can take melatonin while on the blood thinner medication. The melatonin, vitamin D and magnesium (MDM) may offer an adjunctive treatment for clotting because when a clot forms, the body naturally tries to dissolve it. During that process, the vein can become chronically inflamed and MDM can potentially reduce the inflammation and related oxidative stress. The combination of MDM that I discussed for the kidneys may offer benefit here for the DVT if his doctor will approve and supervise it. The combination can improve endothelial function, improve vascular tone reduce inflammation, lower oxidative stress, enhance VDR while magnesium can also improve vitamin D activation.
His doctor may allow it later, but for now he will likely want to only allow the blood thinner and possibly low dose aspirin unless he is really progressive.

Tinnitus and Bad Teeth - Connection?
8 hours agoHi Shelly,
Yes, teeth problems can cause tinnitus, especially the closer the tooth is to the ear as the nerves in that area can be adversely affected. The teeth grinding can also be a problem. A brux guard can be helpful for the teeth grinding.

17 hours agoTallow for LS
17 hours agoHi everyone I was horrified when I realised that this horrible condition was life long... I did some research into natural relief mot wanting to take steriods... to begin with I used organic coconut oil which worked quite well, but being unsure of myself kept on looking... I then found the fantastic properties of tallow. I use it neat I do not mix it with anything although I am considering trying to make a whipped cream using shea butter.. I have had no confirmation regarding any of this being a relatively new comer (mine was diagnosed November 25..) but as tallow is has as near to human properties as anything else I tried it and it works extremely well.. I gave also found through trial and error that eating anything with flour gives me a flare up. And I love a sandwich... has anyone else tried tallow I would love to hear about your experience with it as it is little know of as yet. Thank you.

17 hours agoGreetings Samar,
You reminded me of my painful bowel movements years. I was on an iron supplement because of anemia. The doctor suggested a stool softener, but they did not work with the Iron supplement. My mother suggested Citrate of Magnesia similar to this one that comes in a bottle:
They used to say, we should not take a laxative daily because our body would get used to it. However, I drank about half of a bottle of Citrate of magnesium a few times a week, because if I had fiber and iron the movement would be painful and impossible without this laxative. The Citra of magnesia always worked for me.
Better yet, once the monthly's and bleeding stopped, and I no longer had to take a daily iron supplement, eating fresh Collard Greens and Spinach daily restored normal bowel movements.

Re: Questions About Bach Flower Remedies
17 hours agoI know this original question is old, but I'm responding in case someone reads it and has a similar question.
You can put the drops directly in your mouth, add them to any liquid hot or cold, put them in your bath, on your skin, in a dish on the kitchen counter or your night table, and spritz them in the air in a room. They are liquid plant energy.
You can use up to 7 remedies together. Any more than that, Bach said is not effective.
I encourage clients to use them at least four drops/four times a day and more often if desired for minimum of three weeks. Adding the drops to your water or beverage is a great way to expose yourself to their healing energy all day long. I view first thing in the morning and before bed as very important.
Most of all, enjoy them!

(AI response) Amlodipine, the active ingredient in Norvasc, can lead to constipation in some patients. This occurs because it affects smooth muscle contraction in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which can slow down bowel movements and result in harder stools.
Sounds like your medication is the culprit. From what you wrote: helpful tips. I learned with food, fruits digests the fastest and should be eaten alone. Takes 20-30 mins. Carbs and veges go together. Veges and meat go together. Your mixing all together making digestion harder. Water and tea 1/2 hour before meal and 1 hour after meal. Water with meal dilutes stomach acid making digestion difficult. You may also want to get Methylated multi vit/min. You eat impressively healthy. You could switch heart meds or go to Acupuncturist and they can balance blood pressure. Just a thought. All the extra things your doing, you may not need to do anymore.
CPAP with Essential Oils for Sleep Apnea
17 hours agoI have a crazy CURE for people that suffer from sleep apnea. I've had 6 people come to me with this problem and all 6 were CURED in about one month using this treatment.
It requires the person to have a CPAP machine with a heated water tank and a 1oz. Bottle of Breathe Blend essential oil from Pant Guru ($8.00 Amazon).
Ingredients: Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globulus), Peppermint (Mentha Piperita), Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), Lemon (Citrus limonum), Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), Bay (Laurus nobilis).
Note: You can purchase used refurished cpap machines online at a fraction of the new price.
Set-up your CPAP machine, fill the water tank with distilled water, add 2 – 10 drops (depended on personal tolerance – always start low) Breathe Blend essential oil to the water tank. Hook-up the cpap mask to your nose, turn on machine and breath in as normal while you sleep. When you wake-up, you won't believe how much better you can breath. Repeat every night.
NOTE: Strong odors can irritate the airways and potentially trigger asthma or breathing difficulties in some sensitive individuals.
Why it works:
The long contact time (exposure) your upper and lower respirtory system has with the plant oils corrects a lot of problems like breathing issues, infections, ease congestion, reduce inflammation, etc…
Chronic Constipation Despite Diet & Supplements
1 day agoHi samar,
I find magnesium citrate is good to help things get moving by drawing water into the intestines, but this may be too much magnesium when figuring in what you described as "300 gm of magnesium bisglycinate powder. I hope you meant 300 mg, not 300 gm, which would be grams. While magnesium glycinate is great for sleep, it isn't close to magnesium citrate for constipation and magnesium citrate isn't anywhere near as good as magnesium glycinate is for sleep.
Vitamin C at higher dose can also help with constipation, but can be problematic in some men by promoting kidney stones in some men. If you don't have a problem with high dose vitamin C, such as 2 grams, it may help with the constipation.
The vitamin C and magnesium citrate seem to work better together for constipation. Exactly how much elemental magnesium are you getting from the magnesium glycinate powder you are taking? That would be important to know to see if there is room to add some magnesium citrate for the constipation. Elemental magnesium is just the amount of magnesium minus the glycinate component.. The RDA for elemental magnesium is 320 mg to 420 mg per day, depending if on your sex and age. If your supplement is only delivering about 100 mg of elemental magnesium or less, you could take that at night and take magnesium citrate in the morning. So you need to find out how much elemental magnesium you are currently taking. If there is room to take both, you may be able to get good sleep and ease the straining when defecating.

Re: Seeking Help for Low Kidney Function in Son
2 days agoHi again, Gracie.
In addition to the various fruits and vegetables, melatonin, baking soda and magnesium that I mentioned in my previous reply, it would be very helpful for your son to have his vitamin D level tested. If his vitamin D level is low, it will be very important to bring that level up fairly high in the reference range as vitamin D has synergy with magnesium, melatonin and the vitamin D receptor, which is enhanced by melatonin. This creates a four way synergistic effect when it comes to kidney health.
Further, magnesium glycinate may be the best form of magnesium to use as the glycine content is also advantageous for the kidneys.
In any case, your son should get his doctor's approval and supervision before starting these supplements, to be as safe as possible for his own health.

Chronic Constipation Despite Diet & Supplements
2 days agoI am 67 years old and have had chronic constipation for a long time. By taking one glass of water in the morning containing 1 tablespoonful of Basil seeds soaked overnight in the water, the constipation problem is somewhat getting resolved since I statred using Basil seeds few days ago! Even with daily bowel movement now, it is extremely difficult to have a bowel movement and needs tremendous amount of straining which is getting very difficult for me to handle, the first 6 -8 inches of the stool is very very hard and the remaining is somewhat soft, still needing alot of straining and then the consistency of the stool causes plugging of the toilet bowl. I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago, no issues were noted, because of a recent hives issue I had a stool test done. Stool culture is negative and Fecal swab Ova & parasites indicate Blastocystis hominis, all other were negative. I look forward to seeing the doctor for Fecal swab results soon. The allopathic solution for hard stools is Ethylene Glycol (Restolax) which I do not want to pursue, neither I would like to use suppositiries. My daily diet is as follows:
Breakfast - 3 Tablespoonful of flax seeds in coconut milk with blueberries, strawberry, kiwi, half avacado plus I add ONE SPOONFULL OF COCONUT OIL for lubricity in the bowels.
Lunch - 2 mangoes, 1 sweet corn which has been boiled in water, 4 small guavas
Dinner- Salad comprising of Raw Kale, Borrocoli, Beetroot, garlic, ginger, carrot, raddish, mint plus add 2-3 SPOONFUL OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL for bowel lubricity
White rice with chicken, potatoes or okra or cabbage or zucchini or spinach with potatoes, chick peas in gravy or Gram lentils
Water consumption is as follows:
One glass of plain water in the morning plus another glass of water containing Basil seeds
2 or 3 cups of Nettle tea during the day
2 or 3 cups tea cups of Milk Thistle tea during the day
1 glass of water in evening
1 glass of water at night
For blood pressure I take 7.5 mg Norvasc for over 10 years
For glaucoma I take Vzyulta 0.5% eye drops at night
300 gm of magnesium bisglycinate powder at night for sleep
3 mg of sublingual melatonin for sleep.
Multivatimin B complex plus 1000 IU of vitamin D
Straining during bowel movement is becoming impossible to bear, comments, suggestions will be deeply appreciated to ease straining, having softer stools etc. Have also tried Psyllium Husk in the past but did not notice significant improvement.
