Any updates on your experience after using it for a short time? And what did your doctor say after your cleaning? Did they notice any differences/improvements? Did you notice more improvements?

Husband went to dentist yesterday and they told him he has a cyst of mandible. It just happens to be on his front tooth and now requires extraction. I have never heard of this and am looking for advice or suggestions of natural ways to save his tooth (and expense) of pulling, bone graft, sedation...Thank you in advance.

Hello! I don't really understand. Do you apply the ginger to the skin? And is it raw ginger or ginger tea?

Remember there are pure sugars and processed sugars, get the pure maple sugar and that's not Aunt Jemima. It's expensive but this works on most cancers except brain cancers b/c the baking soda can't cross the blood brain barrier.

Yoga is excellent but not with a slipped disc, you're going to need an Inversion table along with collagen rebuilders.

I used raw bitter apricot seeds and breast painting to get rid of my breast cancer/lesion. I ate 20 seeds/day, 10 with each meal. I painted my breast with black castor oil as the carrier but coconut works great too with a mixture of Frankeninsense and geranium essential oils. I put a quarter size amount of castor oil then added about 5 drops of each essential oil. Mixed them with a q tip and applied at least 2x/dly. I also drank soursop tea but you can use Pau D'Arco 2x/dly with meals. From the time I had my mammogram to the breast MRI which was approx 2 months later, the lesion was gone. I didn't panic when I saw the lesion, but I knew I had to take my own fate into my own hands and be responsible. I didn't have a biopsy, but instead an MRI. Had the MRI shown cancer I would have had the biopsy. I literally thanked God for my outcome.

Try Arnica Cream or Arnica Pellets. The cream works wonders for me.

  Borax Side Effect?

15 days ago
Posted by Art (California) on 04/17/2025

Hi Jacolene,

Borax and boric acid are generally out of your system in about four days so it doesn't seem a likely cause three to four weeks after you stopped using it. Ask your doctor to try a topical corticosteroid on it. If that significantly helps or clears it up, it seems more likely to be dermatitis in a form such as eczema or psoriasis.

It is possible that borax might have started it had it appeared while you were using borax, but you said it appeared 3 to 4 weeks after you stopped using borax. Other causes can be a bacterial or viral infection or an allergic reaction to something you may have used more recently. Ask your doctor about the topical corticosteroid which requires a prescription. The antibiotic was in case it was a bacterial infection, but that won't help a viral infection. The itching can suggest potential for a fungal infection and was likely the reason for the fungal cream.

I don't know what you mean by numbing cream. Was that something like Lidocaine?

A friend of mine told me about this and I've now been doing 1tsp (3) times a day and have been now for 30 days. I'm hoping this shrinks a breast cancer tumor. I don't put it under my tongue though. I just swallow a tsp and if the taste is bad at times I take a swig of water after that. I'm not sure how long this takes to work but I will continue until the tumor is gone. Does anybody know how long this takes? I've heard people say 7 days up to a few months.

Iodine for Nail Fungus

I have had toe nail fungus on one toe nail and it kept coming back every few years after healing.

I have tried other remedies, but Iodine drops was the quickest cure, one month cure. I used Nascent Iodine, it is discolored. I'm from Europe and found it at piping rock shop in United States and purchased it there (I'm not affiliated to this merchant).

First cut the toe nail completely up to the root of the nail. Then use a scrubbing pad, kitchen type for example, and scrub any fungus or dead skin on the toe. Then apply one drop of nascent iodine. Let it there for a few seconds, them apply some coconut oil on the toe.

From then on, every day after shower, scrub again, apply iodine drop and after drying, apply some coconut oil. Avoid too much sugar when healing. Good luck with healing toenail fungus.

Tea Tree Oil for Sinus Polyps

This worked really well. I am so glad I stumbled upon this. I was starting to think maybe I had a deviated septum and would need surgery for it but I didn't really want to go into the doctor yet to check it out. When I would plug one side of my nose, I could barely breathe out of the other nostril and when I felt the inside of that nostril it felt like a bump on the septum of my nose. I mixed a teaspoon of castor oil with 5 drops of tea tree oil and applied it on the inside of both nostrils with a q-tip. I then thought that might not be enough, so I laid on the floor and tried putting a few drops in each nostril. A few hours went by and all of the sudden it felt like my nostril opened up. I kept applying the tea tree/castor oil mixture through out the rest of the day. At night time when I was laying in bed it felt like my head was just draining all this mucus. When I woke up in the morning, my sinuses felt clear like they hadn't in a long time. Usually I wake up with a plugged nose and have to blow my nose each morning.

Borax Side Effect?

15 days ago
Posted by Jacolene (South Africa) on 04/17/2025

Hi, I used to take borax internally and then swop between bathing and drinking it, only during the week and paused over weekends. I did so for about 3 weeks and then stopped.

But it has been about 3 to 4 weeks since I stopped and now I have started with a weird skin condition, small bumps that's rash like and it itches, it seems to be getting worse. It's affecting my forearms and my hands are starting to have a rough texture on top, torso, backside, starting to go down my legs.

Seen a healthcare practitioner, she doesn't know what it could be, so tried treating it like a allergic reaction - antibiotics, numbing cream and a fungal cream which brought some relief but after the course was done it flared up again. I did change like soaps etc to see if it that could've been the problem but yet no improvement.

Didn't suspect or even thought about borax at that stage.... But now I am concerned if it could be a delayed reaction

Is there someone who could possibly give some insight please?

Castor Oil for Cysts

When my son was about 8 years old, he had a cyst on the back of his head. When his hair was cut short, it stuck out like a sore thumb. It felt really hard when you would press on it. I got online to see what EC suggested for cyst remedies. Upon reading feedback for castor oil, I decided to give it a try. I soaked a piece of wool cloth with castor oil, placed it over the cyst, placed saran wrap over top of the cloth, and had him lay his head back on a heating pad for about 45 minutes.

The next day, the cyst was soft, and noticeably smaller. After 2 or 3 days, it was completely flat. I continued to treat it for several days after it was gone to make sure we got it all. That was about 4 years ago and it hasn't come back.

I came back to EC to see if anyone is talking about bone cysts. I have a "Bible cyst" on my left wrist that's causing a lot of pain and restricted mobility of the wrist. I'm now using the same remedy for that. After the first overnight treatment (which included an hour or so of heat application as well), I don't see a difference in the bone cyst yet. I will try and circle back to update how the bone cyst treatment goes.

Yes to magnesium oil. It helps with lots of things. I have osteoarthritis in my hands, and what helps me is castor oil. I use it like a moisturizer, sometimes adding another oil to lighten it up, and it really helps. It feels like I have a toothache in my fingers. I also have heberden's nodules on several fingers, and it helps them when they act up as well.

The one thing that has helped me is yoga. Find yourself a gentle flow yoga class. Learn enough to do the positions by yourself. Focus on your legs, hip and back. Also, hopefully the yoga teacher will show you how to breathe to relax those muscles and give you inner heat. A foam roller also helps. Look at youtube videos on how to use it. Another device I use is a "chirp" wheel (google it) It straightens my back and gives a great massage(you want your blood flowing). Oh, one more thing I have used and it helped greatly is the Hip Hook (google it) Don't sit still, move everyday! I have been pain free for over 2 years now and I know it is because I engage and strengthen my muscles. I feel your pain, it;s horrible! Good luck!!

Can you please tell me if you continue to take this biocell formulation as maintenance when you are no longer in pain? I have suffered for over 35 years but it flares up off and on. I had surgery L5-S1 in late eighties causing nerve damage in my right leg As I grow older the effects progressively have gotten worse Presently I am in severe pain which started as sciatica and spread across my lower back I am going to try your recommended formula and am in hopes it will work. If it does, what do you recommend as maintenance.

Melatonin For Diabetic Wound Healing

This new (March, 2025) study suggests that melatonin can be useful for helping to heal diabetic wounds :

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040816625001648?via=ihub

Here are relevant quotes from the study :

Highlights

  • HG inhibits the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway in endothelial cells.
  • Mel activates the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.
  • Mel upregulates HIF-1α expression by activating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.
  • Mel improves endothelial cell angiogenesis and mitochondrial function via AMPK/SIRT1/HIF-1α pathway to promote wound healing.

The study lays a theoretical foundation for a deeper understanding of the mechanism of Mel to improve diabetic wound healing.

Melatonin Gel may be a potential way to apply melatonin for this purpose. Directions how to make melatonin gel here :
