Re: Giant Cell Arteritis
3 hours agoI'm going through my second round of gca/pmr. It was in remission for about 13 years. I'm 84 years old. I lot my vision in 2011. Large doses (80 mg) steroids. Took 3 years to stop. This time I'm going more natural . 20 mg Prednisone. LOTS!!!! Of vitamin C. Quercitin, Bromelain, Boswellia. Transcendental Meditation.
Question for Art
3 hours agoI'm 97 type A neg. blood and have A-fib 24/7 esperger or low autish.
During the night usual after sleeping 2 hrs. or so I wake up thinking the need to go to the bathroom but the trouble is I think mine pulse spiked, testing with finger reader usually shows a reading in the 120's afterwards when I was waring the 24hr tester top would be only low 150's. I'm on nattokinase, serrapeptise for decades
Had an Bovine Transcathter heart valve implanted position AORTIC jan.-2018
I'm on no meds for it coQ10 usually does not work for me so I started on Ubiguinol 300 mg am 150 at noon and 300mg at night I'm taking Nattokinase for decades held off on Serrapeptese for a long time but taking it now with seemingly no side effects.
Art is there anything NATURAL I can add? Sleeping on a grounding mat or sheet any studies?

3 hours agoDHA is expensive, but I've found it at tractor supply cheaper. I also get my dmso from there also. I use the fenbendazole and ivermectin on myself to do maintenance deworming. My sister cured lymphoma/stomach cancer with fenbendazole in 9 months. She's been cancer free for 8 years. I will get all my supplements and meds from tractor supply from now on.
Re: Iodine Patch Test
3 hours agoHi Joyce,
The iodine patch test is not very reliable or accurate at determining the amount of systemic iodine in the system. The iodine appears to significantly lighten or disappear, not because you are deficient, but rather due to other causes. Some of the iodine evaporates into the air. Some of the iodine has a chemical reaction where the iodine is converted to iodide and iodide is essentially colorless. Some of the iodine penetrates the skin and this iodine can later be at least partially released by the skin. So the patch test does not establish iodine deficiency.
With potassium iodide, the amount of potassium is actually relatively small while the amount of iodide is relatively large. The exception would be if you were using a high dose iodine product that could actually deliver a significant amount of potassium.
In any case, from what you said, the test revealed your potassium level is high and that is what is important here and is what you should work toward trying to reverse because hyperkalemia is not good for our health. So I would follow your doctor's advice here.

11 hours agoApple Cider Vinegar for Skin Tags
1 day agoAPPLE CIDER VINEGAR FOR ARMPIT SKIN TAGS
If you have tiny skin tags developing in your armpits. This is the simplest 2 week protocol you can do to resolve them.
Try using a spray bottle to apply undiluted Apple cider vinegar (I use Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar) to your armpits after showering. It dries in a few minutes and the smell of vinegar goes away in about 15 minutes. No need for deodorant because ACV acts as a natural deodorant. It kills the bacteria that causes body odor. Also, it kills the HPV Virus that is causing the skin tags. They dry up and vanish.

Borax and Bladder Infections
1 day agoI am wondering if Borax would increase chances of getting UTIs. I have found that I can avoid them if I stay far away from eating chicken meat. When I get a UTI, I take parsley tea and drink lots of water and straight cranberry and sometimes a solution of apple cider vinegar. If I treat it quickly, I can get rid of it in less than 24 hours. Having sugar or foods like baking soda sometimes make the process longer. So is borax more acidic or basic?
Glycerin for Warts
1 day agoi had a nice, but stonehard, button like wart on my left ear for over 10 years . then I started apply daily glycerine on it and it disappeared totally after about 6 months .
i remembered my mother applying it to me when I had a wound in my mouth, its mild and effective . so I tried it out and it gladly worked .
Lemon Juice and Olive Oil for Kidney Stones
1 day agoI am 79 years old and apart from the odd mishap (rock climbing error) I have been doing okay in general until this morning at 4.00am I woke with such an excruciating pain the like I have known before. I tried pain killers which only dulled the pain slightly so I logged into Earth Clinic for help, checked out the most favored remedy (olive oil and fresh lemon juice in equal portions) and was amazed at how quickly the pain subsided.
I cannot be more thankful for the help that Earth Clinic offers and I thank you dearly.
Re: Difficulties in Treating Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS)
1 day agoYou can try .5mg clonazapam topically. Instead of swallowing it. Let the tablet dissolve in your mouth for 3-5 min and then spit it out (swish and spit). It works directly on oral nerves. And since its not swallowed I have not been addicted. Regular tablets dissolve with your saliva but they also come in ODT (orally dissolvable tablets) which dissolve easier that your doctor can prescribe.
I use only when needed. Products with zylitol are often helpful for me to increase saliva. I chew Pur gum and use xylimelts.
Re: Coffee and Gout
2 days agoI drink about 15 cups of coffee per day. I was suffering from gout almost my whole life, about 50 years. One day I discovered that if I dont eat wheat containing foods like bread I do not get gout. I stopped my bread and wheat intake totally and I never had gout again. My skin acne problem also completely stopped. I now bake oats bread and still no gout. And I still drink my +- 15 cups of coffee every day.
Dietary Changes for Gout
2 days agoI was suffering from gout my whole life. For about 50 years. Just to discover that when I dont eat bread or any food containing wheat I do not get gout. After stopping my wheat intake my gout attacks stopped and my skin acne totally stopped. It was a miracle for me. I later came accross another person on the internet with the same experience. It is so simple. It must be the gluten in the wheat. I now bake bread with oats and still no gout.
Re: Arthritis Topical Treatment by Art Solbrig
2 days agoHi Gail,
What I have found most useful for my arthritis is Ted's Borax Remedy for the past 18 years as discussed here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/borax-remedy-for-arthritis.html
The Borax Lotion is most helpful when the arthritis is mainly located in the hands, but if it is widespread, as mine was, drinking borax is much easier for me in the long run.

2 days agoRe: Castor Oil for Bone Spurs
2 days agoThank you for providing a more in depth analysis on how Castor oil works. I watched a Barbara O'Neill video where she basically stated Castor oil dissolves any abnormal over time.
I have arthritis in my neck, thoracic and lower lumbar. I recently am experiencing nerve damage causing me to fall periodically and drop things out of my hand. Once I confirm the arthritis might be the cause of this I would like to treat it with Castor oil.
