Oatmeal Tea Bag for Chicken Pox
24 days agoThe oatmeal bath for relief from chickenpox is a wonderful solution. I am 69 with osteoporosis and back issues so climbing in and out of the tub is quite challenging for me. So what I did was take oatmeal and put it into a Tea filter bag. They are bags that you can buy at the grocery store or health food store if you wanted to brew your own fresh herbal tea. They are basically empty teabags. I took the raw oatmeal, stuffed it in there, folded the top down and put staples all across it so it could not leak out. Put it in a cup of hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. Then took the bag out and squeeze some of the moisture out and applied the bag onto my chickenpox area. It feels a little slimy from the oatmeal, but it coats the area and it has the same effect as soaking in an oatmeal bath . I literally reapplied it every time it would start itching. Just take the little slimy teabag and rub it on the areas and you'll get instant relief. I kept mine in a ceramic cup and use it throughout the day. It helped tremendously with the itching. I did read that the calamine lotion will help dry them up and bring them to a head quicker. So maybe use the teabag every other time to the calamine to speed up the process and get relief.

24 days agoPropolis Relieves Toothaches
25 days agoSometimes a tooth is sore because of gentle pressure from other teeth that are not growing 100% straight. Kind of like having slow-motion braces. When this happens, I find that brushing that area gently a little more helps stimulate the circulation and ease the pressure. Short of invisalign or braces, this will keep happening over time.
But in the case of a cavity or some unknown irritant, I use propolis. This is nature's anti-biotic. Inside bee hives, there is no virus, no bacteria, no mold, no foreign anything. It is purer than any operating room in any hospital. (Hint: Always have a bottle of propolis in the fridge for when you might want an anti-biotic. Take 2 capsules 3 or 4 times a day for a week to 10 days, just like you would a chemical anti-biotic, but without the harsh destructive effects to digestion and bloodstream.)
So at night I twist open a capsule of bee propolis (make sure to get a brand that claims it does not destroy the bees or the hive) and shake a tiny bit on the end of my finger. I press the propolis into the outside of the tooth that is aching. I do it again and press the propolis along the inside of the tooth. You do lose some of the granules because it's not easy doing this kind of gymnastics on the inside of your mouth, but eventually you will get the feel of it. Usually one night of the propolis takes care of anything that is aching in a tooth. Rarely have I had to do it two nights in a row, but that's also happened. It's a total godsend and propolis is also an energy food for the body. No harmful side-effects. How many medications can make that claim?
Apple Cider Vinegar Working on Lipoma
25 days agoI have a lipoma on my upper arm, which is very noticeable (almost the size of a quarter). I started using ACV, but instead of ingesting it, I applied it directly to the lipoma. I took a cotton ball, which I cut in half and flattened it a bit so it wouldn't be too bulky, and applied ACV directly on it so it was pretty soaked, then placed that on top of the lipoma and secured it with surgical tape, which I found easy to remove later, and also because the tape is wider and on a roll, so you can grab the size you need. In just about 3 days I noticed that the lipoma was shrinking! I was astounded! I did this routine before going to bed, and sometimes I pulled back the tape in the morning to add more ACV to the cotton to keep it moist. It's been about 2 weeks now, and the lipoma is so much smaller. I am so very happy! But one thing - the ACV did burn my skin, I believe, because it caused a small open wound from being on the skin so long. After about a day or two is when it caused a sore and made my skin a little red, but I was so happy with the results, I just accepted it. I did let my skin breathe for about a day or two in between to give it some fresh air, and then I applied it again. So now I keep applying it about every other day, or so, to see if it will eventually go away completely. I can't wait to go back to my doctor so he can measure it again and see that it's gotten smaller! This may not be for everyone, but it sure is working for me!

25 days agoInfection on Dog's Gums
25 days agoFirst post here - We have 5 dogs. The youngest female developed these small pus pockets (looked like pimples) on the flap of her mouth and on the gums. Hers have grown to the point where they now look like tulips or something. They do not hurt her, but they are communicable since 2 of the other 4 have now got the same. Do dogs get herpes - cold sores, trenchmouth, etc? We can't get to the vet until he is back next week. What are we dealing with here? Anyone else who has seen this on their dogs? I am stymied. Thank y'all.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Body Acne
25 days agoI had a sudden breakout of ugly red bumps on my upper back and shoulders, it looked like acne or possibly folliculitis. Either way I also tend to get a big pimple here and there on my upper back even though I literally never ever do on my face. Anyway I tried out ACV with some skepticism (even though it has worked for me for so many things! It's a miracle for UTIs!! ), and what do you know, it completely got rid of it within a few days. Thank god. I find back pimples so embarrassing.
I just applied it with a cotton pad morning and night. I can't believe how much time I wasted looking at reddit and so on where people recommend a million things and products when of course something so simple and cheap would work so well. I love EarthClinic so much, thanks everyone for your posts<3

Re: Beneficial Supplements for Osteoporosis and Vitamin C
25 days agoHi Wanda,
Thank you for the additional information on vitamin C. What I have learned over time is that many men do not tolerate high dose vitamin C very well and 6000 mg would definitely fit into that category. High dose vitamin C can cause kidney stones in men, but not women as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4769668/
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Total and supplemental intake of vitamin C was significantly associated with a higher risk of incident kidney stones in men, but not among women. '
On the other hand, lower dose vitamin C of <700 mg/day was not a problem based on this quote from the literature :
' Dietary vitamin C intake was not associated with stones among men or women, although few participants had dietary intakes >700 mg/d. '
I have seen this occur in a friend at just 2000 mg/day of vitamin C after just one week. I see many people recommend high and very high doses of vitamin C online and elsewhere, but they often are not aware of this fact or don't bother to mention it. If you have ever had kidney stones, you know how painful they can be! So when it comes to men, I do not recommend high dose vitamin C, but it can be fine for women.
I'm surprised that Dr. Berg did not mention this very important fact. As a chiropractor I would have expected him to be aware of it as many chiropractors are well versed in nutrition and supplements and I'm sure he counts himself in that group.

25 days agoEgg Whites for Burns--Best Remedy
A few years ago, on Christmas Eve, as I was preparing my contribution to take to our families party I burned my arm in my oven. I searched EC and found the egg white method. I scrambled the egg white and gently placed it on the burned area. I let it dry. Used a warm water paper towel to gently remove the egg white and repeated the process 3-4 more times. After this I had to shower before heading to the party. The warm shower water never bothered the burned area on my arm. A few weeks later a small water blister appeared on my arm and I had zero idea why. It took me a couple minutes to realize it was the same location as I burn I got on Christmas Eve. I've been using scrambled Egg White remedy ever since.
Re: Beneficial Supplements for Osteoporosis and Vitamin C
25 days agoHi Art, I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us AND I appreciate others sharing as well! On building bone, Dr Eric Berg (whom I've followed for over ten years) just came out with a new video stating that you can take all sort of supplements to build bone, but it also takes around 6,000 mg of vitamin C along with that to do the job! I take sodium ascorbates because it comes in powder form and about 1.5 tsp in about a cup of water does it! So easy. Very tart though....!

26 days agoMelatonin Is Beneficial For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
26 days agoPreviously animal studies and in vitro studies have suggested that melatonin may be useful for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). PAH is not to be confused with regular hypertension. PAH is hypertension in the lungs and is a very serious disease.
This recent human study suggests that melatonin may be useful in improving the quality of life (QOL), oxidative stress and cardiovascular function of people with PAH as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12177658/
Here are some relevant quotes from the full study link :
' Overall, oral melatonin treatment improved the plasma antioxidant capacity and the QoL in this pilot study. '
' A significant improvement was noticed in perception of dyspnea, palpitations, and fatigue in concordance with the QoL improvement in the physical domain after 6 months of melatonin. This was represented by a significant fall in the total score of the PAH-SYMPACT questionnaire. In addition, the baseline heart rate was lower at the T6 follow-up. '
' Another important finding of our study is the improved physical domain of the SYMPACT PAH questionnaire, which is in concordance with symptomatic improvement. This is relevant because it favors patients treatment adherence and QoL [53]. Even more, having a better physical perception, patients tend to improve their confidence to perform more activities. '
It is interesting to note that this study used a fairly low dose of melatonin at just 6 mg per day and reported benefit at 3 months and further benefit at 6 months of dosing . Other human studies have used 10 to 50 mg or more per day of melatonin for various health issues. No significant side effects were reported in this study. Melatonin has also shown to have a very good safety profile. It would have been interesting to see an even longer study duration, a higher dosing arm or both.
