Re: Melatonin Gel
15 days agoI've spent a good deal of time over the years, digging into Earth Clinic, researching alternative strategies for healing various problems. But I only just now discovered these posts regarding the use of topical melatonin. I have a couple of metal rods, either titanium or stainless steel, in my left ankle, surgically implanted to repair a broken ankle, the result of a hiking fall a decade ago. I've had continuing problems for years with that ankle/foot; discolored skin and slight swelling in the area, and more recently add to that now I've developed achilles tendonitis too. Studies I've read indicate some folks have negative reactions to metal implants, so I could be one of those individuals. Looks like melatonin has "strong scavenging abilities", and I'm wondering if it might be able to remedy my problem with my body's apparent chronic reaction to the ankle implants, and save me from ultimately having to get surgery to remove those implants.

15 days agoRe: Iodine for Fibroids
15 days agoI know this post is old, but can you specify if we are supposed to use a cotton swab (q-tip), or a cotton ball? In your original post you said cotton swab, but in your comment to someone you said cotton ball. There would be a huge difference in the amount of iodine soaked up on those two, so I want to do it right. Also, should we use 2% or 5%? Thanks!

Re: Iodine for Cavities
15 days agoJust my thought, use the regular store bought iodine to swish and spit. Then take the Lugol's 5% and take 3 drops in a little water or juice and drink it daily with selenium. This helps with the thyroid and prevents breast cancer (per Dr David Brownstein & Dr Ken Berry).
Re: Blackstrap Molasses for Gray Hair
15 days agoPlease state the brand of black strap molasses you all take. It's dumbfounding how many of these reviews lack such obviously important info. It may help us all figure out why some work and some don't. It's possible the evaporation temperature is too high, killing off all the enzymes during manufacturing, or the cane is grown w toxic herbicides, binding the copper from being bioavailable. Not all brands are equal.
Re: Baking Soda for Rheumatoid Arthritis
15 days ago
WARNING!
Warning: As I found out… My GF has HBP which is under control with meds but I don't have HPB. The baking soda baths are really helping me with RA so I tried it on my GF… BIG MISTAKE. Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest for the next 3 hours.
People with high blood pressure should avoid baking soda baths or consult their healthcare provider first. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) contains sodium, which can be absorbed through the skin and may increase blood pressure or cause complications for individuals with hypertension or heart conditions. Baking soda can be absorbed through the skin, introducing excess sodium into the bloodstream. High sodium levels can be dangerous for people with pre-existing high blood pressure, heart failure, or kidney disease.
Olive Leaf Extract for EBV
15 days agoI contracted Epstein-Barr Virus 30 years ago and it about killed me. Doctors could only offer me multi-vitamins and said it could take 6 months to get over it. A friend “a british witch” told me to start taking Olive leaf tincture and with in one month… I was cured.

16 days agoHi Bindi, EBV is a lipid virus and BHT, butylated hydroxytoluene, works wonderfully on almost all lipid viruses. BHT in reasonable doses is not toxic at all and EC has quite a lot of info on it. Steven Fowkes has a whole book about using BHT that you can download for free: www.projectwellbeing.com/steve. My husband and I take it every night as a preventative measure against colds, flu, covid, etc. We order it from Amazon in 250 milligram capsules and take one capsule. If we feel we're trying to come down with something we double up for a few days.
Understanding Seborrheic Dermatitis
16 days agoSeborrheic dermatitis is linked to insulin resistance, a condition where the body's cells don't respond properly to insulin, and can be part of a larger group of conditions called Metabolic Syndrome (which is caused by fructose and high blood sugar) How to confirm Seborrheic Dermatitis is an insulin related issue? Things such as alcohol, cinnamon and Goat's Rue lower insulin levels. So one day after I splurged and drank a soda my seb derm flared up. So after getting fed up with scratching & picking I decided to see what happened if I drank a beer. And almost immediately I felt relief. But I DO NOT RECOMMEND alcohol. Its bad for your liver, and there are safer alternatives that work the same way such as Cinnamon or Goats Rue (which you can buy on Amazon and make tea).
So eat organic whole foods. Avoid Fructose & Sugars. Also avoid Palmitate (found in most milk products) as it also causes insulin resistance.
Protocol for Hemorrhoids
16 days agoprotocol for hemorrhoids that I believe is working for me.
1. if constipation present use Magnesium Oxide to get bowels moving first before proceeding to step 2.
2. diet - avoid sugars, junkfood, GMO and possibly even corn & wheat altogether as Glyphosate or Gluten may destroy gut lining. I did carnivore diet but keto may work too.
3. Methylsulfonymethane Supplementation. This is where the magic happens. I did 1 tablespoon 3x a day. but doctors recommend starting at lower dose a to make herx dieoff reaction less servere. My herx lasted 7-10 days of headaches as candida died. You will want to build up to 2-3 tablespoons per day for 8 weeks. More stubborn cases may require Rx antifungals.
4. Rebuild. Rebuild intestines using L-Glutamine and Marshmallow root.
Keep taking small amounts of MSM for maintenance dose after 8 weeks then you can quit the Magnesium Oxide when hemorrhoids are gone. You can start adding back foods but stay organic.

While you are waiting for the answer to your question, one EC community member reported she got very effective fibromyalgia pain relief using melatonin lotion that was more effective than the prescription medications she had tried. Here is how to make melatonin lotion :

16 days agoThere is no cure for the virus, it sits in the nerve root and b/c active under certain conditions. One is sunlight, another is a compromised immune system. L lysine also is good treatment for cold sores. When going out in the sun find a lip balm that is also a sun blocker, that keeps the virus at bay.
