Possible to Take a Supplement Before Airport, X-Ray Scans for Radiation?
24 days agoHi John,
Melatonin offers beneficial effects to help offset radiation exposure such as used at airports. Here is what Google AI has to say about melatonin and ionizing radiation :
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
- Free Radical Scavenging: Melatonin neutralizes radiation-induced hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals before they can damage your DNA.
- Stimulating Antioxidants: It boosts the body's natural antioxidant defense systems, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase.
- Cellular Penetration: Unlike some traditional antioxidants, melatonin can easily cross cell membranes and enter mitochondria, which are highly vulnerable to radiation damage.
- Animal & In Vitro Studies: Abundant research on cells and laboratory animals shows that taking melatonin prior to irradiation significantly reduces DNA damage, prevents organ injury, and improves survival rates.
- Human Application: While large-scale human trials are limited, studies on human blood lymphocytes have shown that oral ingestion before radiation exposure successfully reduces DNA damage.
- Radiation Therapy: Because it specifically protects healthy tissue but does not protect—and sometimes even sensitizes—cancerous tumors, it is increasingly studied to help reduce the harsh side effects of cancer radiotherapy.
- Timing is Key: The radioprotective effects are only observed when melatonin is actively circulating in the bloodstream before the radiation exposure occurs.
Possible to Take a Supplement Before Airport, X-Ray Scans for Radiation?
24 days agoHi all,
Is it possible to take something(s) before and or after a medcial scan such as airport scan or MRI or X-ray or CT etc. to basically prevent ANy damage caused by the radiation emitted by these machines?
Many people are not aware that airport scans are extermely harmful.
The system scams people by lying to them by omission saying that it only penetrates to the surface of the skin but conveniently forget to mention that the skin absorbs all that toxic radiation right into the blood stream and the blood stream carries it everywhere into the body causing damage via oxidative stress via free radicals.
Would be nice to take something before and or after to avoid ALL damage.
Thank you

24 days agoI have been using/experimenting with Myrhh Tincture for oral health problems. In a short period of time (one week) I've seen an 80% improvement. I'm amazed how smooth my teeth feel (like a porcelain plate).
How to use:
Method 1. Apply 5 drops myrrh tincture to wet toothbrush and brush teeth normally 3x/daily. The myrrh resin bonds to the teeth and starts the healing process.
Method 2. Add 10 drops myrhh tincture to small amount water and swish in mouth like mouth wash.
It is one of the most effective herbal medicines for treating sore throats, mouth ulcers and gingivitis. Myrrh is a natural aromatic resin known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties. It is widely used in holistic dentistry to soothe inflamed gums, reduce plaque buildup, and treat mouth ulcers.
According to the Dental Manual of Therapeutics and Materia Medica, p. 467, Published in 1901. Myrhh Tincture was used for oral health problems like acute or chronic gingivitis, glossitis (inflammation of the tongue), gum recession, gum spongy, acute inflammation, erupting teeth, tongue ulceration.

DMSO and Castor Oil for Shingles
25 days agoAfter the case of shingles I had on my lower back and belly had dried up, I used 50/50 DMSO and Castor oil concoction painted onto to the healing skin. I used a soft, fluffy long haired oil-painting brush, an artists brush, so as not to irritate the skin. It does sting a bit for a a few minutes, but feels good after that. Now that I'm well over the shingles, my skin still sometimes itches and might sting just a tiny bit and so I still put the 50-50 DMSO and castor oil concoction on it only now, I use a bathing brush with a long handle it it's much stiffer, but it feels really good on the skin now.
Re: Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a Plastic Bottle
25 days agoHi Ruralady,
The plastic bottles that ACV is sold in will last for awhile, but will breakdown over a longer period of time (months to years) introducing microplastics and chemical leaching. Heat exposure will significantly speed this degradation process. Transferring to glass bottles makes sense if you bought so much that it will take years to use.

Re: Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a Plastic Bottle
25 days agoI purchased the same ACV b/c it was a " too good to be true deal". I don't know if I transfer it to glass bottles if it will keep for a long time. Does anyone know?
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a Plastic Bottle
25 days agoI've just purchased from Amazon some apple cider vinegar, and it looked great as featured on their web site. Raw, organic, with the mother, but on receipt it was in a plastic bottle! I should perhaps return it, but to be honest I don't think I can be bothered with all the hassle. Would purists agree that it is unsafe to drink, or am I being too picky?
Colloidal Silver For Burns
25 days agoI was over helping a friend pressure wash his vinyl fence. I handled the gun and he moved the pressure washer and hoses along as needed. When I was finished pressure washing the fence I told my friend to turn the pressure washer off. When he went to shut it off, he stumbled and lost his balance and put his hand on the machine to regain his balance, but he unfortunately placed his hand right on the hot muffler and burned his hand. He told me he hears it make a sizzling sound when it happened, so I new it was a bad burn.
I carry a 2 ounce spray bottle with colloidal silver (CS) in it in my pocket sometimes and fortunately I had the spray with me that day and told him to spray it directly on the burn. He said it gave almost instant pain relief! I gave him my bottle to keep so he could continue applying it regularly even if there was no pain because research shows that colloidal silver nanoparticles help promote tissue regeneration as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11542498/
Here are two relevant quotes from the research link :
' Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have shown substantial promise in burn wound treatment, primarily due to their potent antibacterial properties and ability to promote tissue regeneration.43 AgNPs are effective against a wide range of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains, making them invaluable in preventing and treating infections in burn wounds (Figure 2). '
' The incorporation of AgNPs into various delivery systems and materials enhances their efficacy and expands their applications in burn wound care. '
I suggested that he wet a tissue with the CS and keep it on the burn initially to help maximize the benefit as CS works most effectively when wet and less so once it is dry.

Berberine for Diabetes
26 days agoHi El,
The berberine dose used in at least one human study is 1500 mg total per day taken in three divided doses of 500 mg at breakfast, 500 mg at lunch and 500 mg at dinner.
Caution :
If you are already taking one or more drugs for diabetes, you need to have your doctor review your medications and make sure you can take berberine safely or not. Berberine at this dose has a potency similar to certain prescription diabetes medications and this can cause your blood glucose level to drop too much, causing hypoglycemia which can be very dangerous and possibly even more so than hyperglycemia.

26 days agoPau D' Arco Tincture for Sinus Infection
26 days agoPau d'Arco bark is known for its potential medicinal properties, contains a compound called lapachol, which is believed to contribute to its anti-microbial action. Pau D'arco exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi (especially anti-candida), and parasites.
When making hunting bows, it was observed by the Inca Indians, that when the tree was alive and even after it was cut down, it never developed growth of mold, mildew, or fungi.
Clinical Applications
Inflammation: May lower COX-2, prostaglandins, and nitric-oxide → possible benefit for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Infections: Lab work shows activity against Candida, Aspergillus, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and some viruses (e.g., herpes).
Wound Healing: Beta-lapachone stimulates proteins that aid tissue repair (shown in animal studies).
Anti-parasitic & anti-infective: Applied for dysentery, skin infections, urinary complaints.
One illustrative case involved a patient presenting with a persistent staph infection on the nasal region, manifesting as an open, oozing wound. Despite undergoing a year-long course of conventional treatments—including antibiotics, steroid creams, and multiple injections—the lesion failed to heal.
Following consultation at our office and initiation of a prescribed therapeutic dosage of Pau d'Arco, the patient experienced rapid improvement:
Week 1: The infectious wound closed
Week 2: Healing progressed with healthy pink tissue visible beneath the skin
Month 1: Complete elimination of the infection
This case highlights the potential therapeutic value of Pau d'Arco in refractory infections, though further research is warranted given the scarcity of formal clinical data.
How to use:
Neti-pot for chronic sinus infections, try herbs that kill both bacteria and fungi. Think Pau D'Arco tincture. 5-10 drops per pint of saline.
Nasal spray bottle, add 5 drops per 1 oz. saline solution.
Xlear, Rescue Nasal Spray with Xylitol contains Pau D' Arco in it.
