Flaxseed Oil for RA
1 hour agoFlaxseed Oil for Pain Relief: Arthritis – Rheumatoid – Osteoarthritis of the Knee:
Many people swear by flaxseed oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids known as EPA and DHA. Flaxseed EPA's decrease swelling, which is why our grandparents used it for RA. Recent research has indicated flaxseed oil as a novel pain reliever for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. As the research team notes, flaxseed oil is used in traditional Persian medicine for a variety of things, including as a pain reliever. The scientists say that their study has confirmed that the oil can be applied topically for pain relief. The team wrote, “Flaxseed oil is effective in pain relief of patients with knee osteoarthritis, especially in improving the severity of symptoms and functional status of patients.”
Past research has indicated that the omega-3 fatty acids found in flax may be responsible for its pain-relieving properties. According to the U.K.'s Express, omega-3 fats are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Given that flaxseed contains nearly 1600 milligrams of the stuff in just one serving, flaxseed surely contains enough omega-3s to impart such benefits.
Many of us suffer with degenerating joints as a result of the natural ageing process. It has long been believed that omega 3 fatty acids, such as those produced by the body using building blocks from flaxseed oil, help to reduce inflammation. As a result they may reduce problems such as joint discomfort and reduced flexibility.
A study aiming to identify exactly how polyunsaturated fatty acids help to ease joint pain found that they seem to act in at least two manners. Firstly, they help to suppress proteins in the body known as “cytokines” that act as “messengers” and encourage an inflammatory response. Secondly, omega 3 oils seem to also suppress enzymes known as “proteases” which are responsible for the physical breakdown of joint cartilage. In doing so, omega oils like EPA help to slow the progression of degenerative joint conditions.
It is also interesting to highlight that when comparing the impacts of different omega 3 oils, experts found that “EPA was more effective than DHA”. This is reassuring because, as previously discussed; it is EPA levels that tend to rise most significantly after consumption of flaxseed oil.
Another study provided existing rheumatoid arthritis sufferers with either 1.8 grams of EPA per day or a placebo tablet to measure any impact on their condition. After 12 weeks of ongoing supplementation the EPA group saw measurable improvements in “morning stiffness and number of tender joints”. Just as interestingly, once the experiment ceased and the EPA group stopped taking their supplement they began to “deteriorate significantly”, suggesting that ongoing consumption is crucial for long-term protection.
Current research suggests that fatty acids like those derived from flaxseed oil aren't just useful for treating pre-existing conditions; they may even help to reduce the onset of such symptoms in the first place.
A fascinating study asked 32,232 women born between 1914 and 1948 to complete a questionnaire outlining their diet, and hence their average intake of beneficial omega 3 oils. After seven years the scientists compared the results of those that had been unlucky enough to contract rheumatoid arthritis in the meantime with comparable healthy participants. They found that a long term intake of long-chain omega 3 oils higher than 0.21 grams per day “was associated with a 52% decreased risk” of developing rheumatoid arthritis.

Taken internally, Flax Seed Oil main content, Omega-3 fats, help our body produce Prostaglandins Series 1 and 3, which are anti-inflammatory hormone-like molecules. These molecules help reduce the inflammation associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis.
Therefore, Flax Seed is often believed to be a natural cure for arthritis. Simply take one tablespoon of Flax Seed or the Oil 3 times daily.
For breakfast, add Flax Seeds to your cereal, muffin, or bread, or mix ground Flax Seeds into chocolate/strawberry milk or orange juice.
For lunch and dinner, Flax Seeds can be ground and sprinkled directly onto almost any meal.
Flax Seed Oil can also be used instead of the raw seeds. Take 1 teaspoon of Flax Seed Oil 3 times daily. The oil can be added to food as well. Continue this remedy for at least one month to cure the primary forms of arthritis.
Topical use of Linseed oil can be found in Proprietary Liniments from the 1850's – 1950's listed as LINSEED OIL. Your grandparents know that flaxseed oil had a direct effect on inflammed tissue therefore they used it as a carrier oil in there liniments for arthritis problems.

Colon Cleansing for Arthritis
1 hour agoHome enemas are not a new fad or something that's only performed by those obsessed with their health. It wasn't that long ago that home enemas were routinely prescribed by doctors as part of a normal cure for illness.
An Egyptian king, as early as 1500 B.C., was known to receive routine home enemas by a physician who used them for regular medical treatments. The Egyptians believed that all diseases were caused by tainted, unwanted additions to food, or too much food, and understood how an enema could offer relief to serious situations.
Ancient regions in Africa, Greece, Babylonia, India, and China used enemas. American Indians performed enemas. Louis XIV had almost 2,000 enemas in his lifetime and stayed healthy throughout. And even the vivacious and voluptuous actress Mae West started every day with a morning enema.
When we eat devitalized foods such as sweets, white flours, bread, meat, cooked fruits, processed drinks, and pastas and take in things like coffee, drugs and alcohol our body is stimulated by these products and produces mucous to protect our intestinal tract from the resulting toxins. The more often you ingest these substances, the harder it is on your body and the more layers of mucous are produced. This is one reason why some meals should be all fruits or all vegetables. Mixing fruits and vegetables in the same meal are hard to digest and can give you acid reflux.
One problem with multiple layers of mucous is that the pancreatic fluids which normally keep the mucoid layers stripped and digested off the gut can't keep up. Over time (years usually) these mucous layers build up and harden making the intestines less effective at absorbing what you eat. One sign of this happening is vertical ridges on your little fingernails.
Gradually, the body weakens and our digestive processes become slower. When this happens, food starts to rot in our gut a little bit after each meal creating even more toxins and an imbalanced gut flora (and an overgrowth of yeast). Even the muscular walls of the gut weaken and lose tone creating a pot belly, prolapses, diverticuli, polyps, colitis and smelly gas problems. Eventually these disturbances may lead to cancer and other health problems.
Small bowel pockets and diverticuli are more common than most health professionals realize, and should be taken into account when any low grade infection or decrease in vitality over time are present. Low back pain, menstrual irregularity, ovarian cysts, constipation, bladder problems, heart palpitations, hemorrhoids, tipped uterus, and prostate problems are often a result of a prolapsed (fallen) transverse colon. Fasting and enemas can help these greatly.
Autopsies have shown that the bowel can become lined with accumulated material just like an old sewer pipe, in some cases to the point where the opening is no larger in diameter than a pencil. There is no way to have a healthy body with a bowel like that. At the bottom of this handout are pictures of some bowel ribbons that were released with enemas.
In the 1917 Journal of American Medicine, Dr. Kellogg reported that out of 40,000 cases of gastrointestinal disease, he had adopted surgery in only twenty cases, the rest were helped as a result of cleansing the bowels, diet, and exercise.
When on a cleanse, taking enemas twice daily can help a person get rid of an extra ten feet of mucoid layers in a seven day period. Taking laxative won't do this. Feeling bad on a cleanse means that toxins have been mobilized and have no place to go.
In Gerson Therapy explains that caffeine and palmitates (chemicals in coffee) work synergistically to stimulate and cleanse the liver and blood. Without entering the digestive tract the caffeine is absorbed through the bowel wall, via blood vessels, and makes its way directly to the liver.
The caffeine exposure causes the liver's portal veins and the bile ducts to expand which increases the release of diluted toxic bile. The enema fluid triggers peristalsis (intestinal muscle contractions) and the efficient removal of wastes from the body. As a result of the enema the liver becomes less congested with debris, which makes room for the filtering process of yet more bodily toxins.
For nearly nine decades the coffee enema has proven itself to be effective at cleansing and restoring the liver, reducing and eliminating cancerous debris, and relieving severe pain from countless origins. It is yet another tool in the detoxification arsenal that should not be dismissed by anyone determined to prevent disease, reclaim their health or otherwise impede the ill effects of living in a toxic world.
COLON CLEANSING – CHRONIC ARTHRITIS.
From the Book: Indianapolis Medical Journal, Volume 21, p. 502,1918
The conclusions of Mayhew in the Medical Herald are as follows:
1. Rest. This absolute and in itself leads to a subsidence of many symptoms.
2. Experimental dietetic measures. This consists in feeding alternately low or high carbohydrate or protein foods. I have found some relation in these cases to their skin reactions to injections of
carbohydrate or protein substances (as obtained in urticaria for instance).
3. Thorough daily cleansing of the large bowel by means of soap suds injection followed by a linseed oil or olive oil injection to be retained over night. This latter is taken in knee chest position.
Fourteen cases of chronic arthritis have been treated in this way with 100 per cent. improvement and 100 per cent. symptomatic cures.
I am so impressed with the results of this method that I will certainly utilize it in all cases where other measures have not accomplished results.
I will cite one interesting case, Mr. A. M., forty years. Manager of a large corporation. Had chronic rheumatism nine years. General involvement of joints, especially of hands and knee joints.
Is unable to write or get out of a chair, unassisted. For the last three years has been obligfied to discontinue many of his business activities.
All evidence of focal infection was removed and vaccine treatment institutea. On one occasion it was thought we had discovered the Poynton bacillus in his blood culture. A vaccine from this was of no value. All fluids removed from his joints were sterile. The method outlined was taken up and in a short thirty days the result noted was surprising. He could walk blocks with the use of a cane, was taking up old business interests free from pain and worry and while not apparently cured to my own eyes – he proclaimed himself as such to his friends and acquaintances.
For the first time in six years he could get out of a chair or off the bed without severe pain. Had I not been able through ordinary measures to stop the progress of this case, I would have referred him to a surgeon for operative work on the colon-either a complete colectomy or an ileosigmoidoscopy.
In chronic rheumatism we have a disease that requires every bit of patience of the sufferer and physician. The treatment is constantly discouraging-but results are more promising than ever before.
Re: Aloe Vera Juice for Fleas
1 hour agoMaybe it was the preservative ... but maybe NOT....
When I had dogs with allergies to flea/tick saliva, they were absolutely miserable during hot weather! Constant scratching & biting was the ticket, all day & much of the night, 24/7!
I tried vinegar sprayed on their coats (they hated it, probably because I didn't know to dilute it with water 50/50), and it worked to keep the fleas away / from biting, as they had no problems for 11-12 hours after each spraying!
After awhile I wondered if Aloe vera gel would do the same thing, and I had extra such plants growing in my yard ... so, I opened a fresh leaf & rubbed that 'goo' all over their fur ... and it also kept the parasites from biting them ... whether by repelling them or making it so they could not recognize by scent that the dogs were available to snack on, IDK which, or maybe something else was at play. HOwever it did so, it DID work ... WITHOUT ... ANY ... added preservatives ... at all!!!

14 hours agoI was having a bad cough and tried various remedies but to no avail. My aunt suggested to gargle with salt water and after doing so for three times spread throughout the day, I finally can sleep through the night and my cough was about 70% improved. I use around one teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water and stir till it almost dissolved. Then I gargled with the salt solution till it's finished. You can also use room temperature water though I feel warm water seems more soothing and effective. Hope it helps.

Borax Side Effects - Loopy Strange Feeling
19 hours agoHi Monica,
Boron is a major active component of Borax.
You may find this link useful and interesting :
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36156555/
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Boron at a concentration of 78.125 μg/mL inhibited the growth of Candida albicans. '
The boron content of the Borax may be causing a candida die off. The die off may be causing toxicity itself which is sometimes referred to as a "Herxheimer reaction" and one potential explanation for what you describe as a "loopy feeling".

Borax Side Effects - Loopy Strange Feeling
1 day ago
Greetings, I made a borax solution using one quart of water with 1/8 teaspoon of Mule borax dissolved overnight. I drank one cup of solution this morning followed by two more cups of water. I began feeling strange. It's difficult to describe: a loopy feeling where I felt as though I might be exiting reality. I didn't feel right and grew scared. Has anyone experienced this? Please reply as I'm anxious and really need feedback so I may continue use of borax in this matter. I have had candida for years. Thank you kindly
Spearmint for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Pcos) Acne
1 day agoSpearmint has been a savior for my skin. I'm 65 years old and struggled with hormonal acne from PCOS all my life, especially post-menopause when my acne suddenly got worse, due to lack of estrogen. I discovered spearmint maybe only about seven years ago and it's made a huge difference. As of today, I'm blemish-free, but I'm a constant work in progress. Here's the thing: Having oily skin can be a double-edged sword. When you're young it's a pain with all the acne, but when you're old and you've figured out how to hold the reins on your oily skin, there's no wrinkles!

Re: Remedies for Lymphedema
1 day agoAnn, diuretics (like celery juice) don't really cure edema. They can help but it sounds like your problem is chronic. I have had a very good experience beating back edema fast with water-only fasting. Fasting resets the pancreas and directly addresses the metabolic disturbance that is typically behind edema esp. in older or overweight persons. Earth Clinic has a whole section on fasting. You will be amazed at the results! :-)

Can Borax Cause Hair Loss?
1 day agoI just began taking the boron solution of 1 quart water mixed with 1/8 teaspoon borax. I am a 110 pound female. After only drinking one cup of the solution I felt very odd as though I had been poisoned (light headed, heart racing, feeling of slipping out of reality) however these feelings wore off after a few hours. I really wish to continue drinking the solution to heal. I am very concerned it is going to make my hair fall out at such a high dosage. Has anyone experienced this? I attempted to search for comments regarding this issue however couldn't find any. Thank you kindly
