D-limonene
1 month ago
A while ago the doctor prescribed PPI's for me because of stomach problems, which I've never liked taking especially now that I keep reading of the link between them and developing alhzeimers. However, looking for answers on Earth Clinic I came across D-limonene for stomach and gut issues. First I purchased a small tub of chopped orange and lemon peel normally used for cooking purposes, but noticed that it contained sulphur dioxide which I didn't want to swallow, so rinsed about a tablespoonful of it, soaked it for ten minutes, rinsed again, then ate it before a meal. I am pre-diabetic, on no medication, and later discovered my blood glucose levels had risen more than normal. I've since purchased some D-limonene capsules, 1,000mgs, and found the same thing happening, a much higher rise in BG levels. I actually pierced one of the capsules and the oil they contained wasn't sweet to taste. Does anyone have any idea why it should raise my BG levels? It does help with the digestive problems.
Prunes and Molasses for Constipation
1 month agoWhat's been working for me is 3 prunes and about 2 teaspoons of blackstrap molasses a day, plus in the morning I drink about 3 measuring cups of water and a pinch of Celtic Sea salt. The water helps so much, it gets things going. A cup of coffee can help, too, but I've been using mostly decaf with a little bit of regular coffee mixed in. The coffee counts with the 3 cups of liquid.

1 month agoCastor Oil for Toenail Fungus
1 month agoCASTOR OIL for NAIL FUNGUS
A 20-year-old woman from the West Indies had what must be classified as a mixed bacterial-fungus infection under the nail of the right forefinger. For four years, it had grown more and more serious, until the nail became very thick, the end of the finger tender, and a greenish-yellow exudate, which had a foul odor, came from the nail. For nearly four months, the girl's mother placed a pad of cotton soaked with castor oil around the tip of the finger and bandaged it in place every night. The infection disappeared, the nail grew in normally, and now she claims it is the strongest and best nail she has.
This mother, whose daughter responded so well to the use of castor oil on her finger, used the same treatment for a bunion on her big toe – rubbing it with castor oil three times a day and sleeping with a pad placed over it at night. In three weeks, the swelling was gone. Whenever it starts to flare up again, she treats it the same way with the same results. She may have the gout, rather than a bunion, but she is controlling it in a very simplified and economical manner.
Note: A mixture of 1:1 Ratio of Castor oil and Tea Tree Oil will increase the anti-fungal effect. When castor oil is used externally (rubbed into the skin), castor oil is able to penetrate deeper than any other essential plant oil (up to10cm). Rubbing castor oil on the skin can relieve pain, reduce inflammation, detoxify the body and boost lymphatic circulation.

Toe Spacers for Ball of Foot Pain/Metatarsalgia
1 month agoToe Spacers for Ball of Foot Pain/Metatarsalgia
My husband recently turned 60 and has taken up walking. He walks a 5K most days of the week now. I am so proud of him!
He was starting to have ball of foot pain, in the middle, near the middle toe. He thought it was a blister or corn, but there was nothing to see on the ball of the foot. I had similar pain when I took up ballet. It ended up being metatarsalgia. I had used toe spacers after many other failed remedies with success.
I gave him my toe spacers (silicone - like what you would use to do a pedicure) and he used them for 20 minutes a couple of nights in a row and hasn't had pain since.
We have so many muscles in our feet! They need care, too! Strengthening and stretching our feet can help with flat and all sorts of foot issues. Being on our feet all day does not accomplish this. If you have foot problems, find some feet stretch and strengthen videos to watch and try to give some TLC for your feet.

Re: Tuberculosis of the Lungs
1 month agoHi Bill, I just wanted to report to you that I started giving Kerosene oil in spray bottle to my sister who has Bronchiectasis which is a sister disease of Tuberculosis, as she was coughing up blood and was very sick, Doctors only gave her antibiotic and an anti-acid which did not help her at all, so when she went to ER again for throwing up blood, again they gave her an antibiotic and an anti-acid, I refused to give her a second course as the Doctor said that there is no infection but give her antibiotic anyway as we have no other treatment for this disease. Anyway, after giving her Kerosene oil spray for 2 weeks, she is feeling much better, now my question is that she is going back home (Pakistan) and there kerosene oil is not available in pure form, so what should she do, only Turpentine oil is available but you said that it's too strong for inhalation, should she use Turpentine oil by diluting it in water for spraying in her throat for inhalation? Please reply, and thank you for the information.
Topical Melatonin Gel For Diabetic Foot Ulcers
1 month agoThe following study using melatonin hydrogel on the feet of people with diabetic foot ulcers found that the gel was useful in decreasing the number of ulcers as well as the severity of the ulcers. Here is a link to the full study :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12590877/
Here are two relevant quotes from the study :
' The reduction in ulcer size in the melatonin group was approximately twofold greater in compare with the placebo (mean reduction: -2.7 ± 0.4 cm² vs. -1.34 ± 0.39 cm²; p-value: 0.08). '
' Topical 1% hydrogel demonstrated efficacy and safety in reducing the number, grade, and size of DFUs when used as a complementary therapy alongside standard ulcer care. This approach may help prevent complications associated with non-healing ulcers thereby improving patients' quality of life and functional independence.'
Using melatonin lotion over melatonin gel may offer longer usable time on the skin. I explain how to make the lotion at the link below, but in order to get closer to 1% mix used in the study, it may be better to use a " slightly heaping 1/4 teaspoon" of melatonin powder rather than " a level full 14 teaspoon". Here is a link to how I make melatonin lotion :

Re: Hyaluronic Acid
1 month agoI took Doctor's Best brand hyaluronic acid (HA) 2 capsules a day with water on empty stomach. It has Biocell form composed of HA, Collagen, and Chondroitin.
I take it either before bed or morning. I can take higher doses e.g. 4 capsules and likely speed up healing.
That's the cure.
Medical studies concluded that herniated discs cause 90 percent of sciatica cases.
Some people just rest and do some stretching and it will heal on it's own, but they will likely be more healthy and self heal the herniation.
Why does it work?
I think the nutrients Hyaluronic acid (HA) and Collagen work hand in hand to help regenerate the gels in the spine. Degenerated gels can cause slight or partial or full herniation. HA is likely the transport mechanism for the collagen to repair. Also HA is what flows in a person's spinal column. That can become sludgy and be the underlying cause. Full repair could take up to 6 weeks.
Colloidal Silver for Pink Eye
1 month agoEyedroppers are a pain to use.
It is better to pour colloidal silver into the bottle cap, place the eye into the cap, and blink, along with dabbing the eye with colloidal silver on a finger around the eye. Takes two days to get better.
Dry eyes can make one more susceptible. If eyes are dry, use DHA. Takes 6+ weeks. The EPA part has little benefit. Most benefit is in the DHA part.
Dietary Changes For Pityrosporum Folliculitis
1 month agoMany years ago I developed pityrosporum folliculitis (malassezia folliculitis) on my face and chest after a round of antibiotics. I suffered with it for about 5 years. Nothing would get rid of it. Antifungal medication from the doctor would make it go away for a week or two, only for it to return. I tried every topical under the sun, some of which would help manage it but nothing got rid of it. I tried various diets, including the candida diet, keto diet...those did not work at all for me. I finally figured out how to get rid of it and I've been free from this skin condition for about 7 years now and can eat whatever I want. What finally worked was a low-fat vegan diet (such as the McDougal diet). No animal products (no dairy or meat because they are high in fat). For the first few days avoid fruit because it will cause a flare while fat is still in your system. After 5 or 6 days on the diet you can eat fruit. You will notice a rapid clearing after about 3 or 4 days. I ate mostly beans, rice, potatoes, vegetables, fruit, oatmeal, smoothies. I would do the diet for about two or 3 weeks and then stop once my skin improved....then the PF would return....so I'd get back on the diet for another couple weeks then stop....and the PF would return...I did this about 5 or 6 times until one day the PF never returned. Malassezia feeds off fats so the only way to get rid of it completely from your system is to eliminate high fat foods, especially in combination with anything sweet. I can now eat whatever I want and am free from this awful skin condition. I hope this helps someone.
Questions for MtM
1 month agoDear Sandy,
Yes, I suspect the sudden significant increase in activity is the cause of the problem.
You could try massaging the area of pain in the evening, with Arnica cream if possible. An Epsom Salt bath would be really great. A tablespoon of blackstrap molasses, or a magnesium supplement at bedtime may be helpful, too.
If possible, wear well fitting and supportive shoes. If you are standing/walking on concrete that is extra stressful to the legs/knees/feet/joints.
I have found that one of the best things I have added to my routine is heel lifts daily. I use a yoga block. I put my heels off the back and hold a counter lightly for balance if needed. Slowly I raise myself up onto my toes, then lower my heels, slowly, below the yoga block. This keeps the calf muscle from shortening. This also strengthens the feet and toes. Keeping the yoga block in the kitchen makes it easy to do 10 of these several times a day.
Love,

Ich trinke Gold ca. 30 ml, Molybdän, Kupfer, Chrom, Kobalt, Zink, Silizium auch immer ca. 30 bis 40 ml. 2 x am Tag, Indium u. Eisen momentan nicht muss ich neu ansetzen. Wahrscheinlich zu wenig, ich wiege 47 kg.
I found something like this; I hope it helps...
I take gold—about 30 ml—as well as molybdenum, copper, chromium, cobalt, zinc, and silicon (also around 30 to 40 ml), twice a day. I'm not taking indium or iron at the moment; I need to prepare a new batch. It's probably too little—I weigh 47 kg.
Re: ACV for Granuloma Annulare
1 month agoRe: Sea Salt + Baking Soda Mouthwash Stabilized Blood Pressure
1 month agoJulia Roberts is famous for her bright smile, and the actress says she owes it to her grandfather's tip of using baking soda. “I brush [my teeth] with baking soda. My grandfather would put a big, heaping mound on his toothbrush. He had only one cavity in his entire life, ” Roberts said.
Her grandfather was around in the early days of medicine when sodium bicarbonate made by the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Company was in its heyday, publishing about how baking soda can be used as a medicine. Yes, it keeps her teeth white, but it does much more than that. Sodium bicarbonate, used in more and more kinds of toothpaste and the newer dental teeth-cleaning devices, is the very best agent for the maintenance of oral health because it changes pH, radically disrupting the constantly rising tide of bacteria and fungi that threaten the health status of the entire body.
With ample brushing, sodium bicarbonate can break through pathogen films, called biofilms, that sticky stuff that turns into hard tarter your dentist must struggle to remove while you grin and bear it.
Bicarbonate has been shown to decrease the acidity of dental plaque induced by sucrose, and its buffering capacity plays a significant role in preventing dental cavities. Studies have shown that bicarbonate inhibits plaque formation on teeth and, in addition, increases calcium uptake by dental enamel. This effect of bicarbonate on teeth is so well recognized that tooth powder containing sodium bicarbonate was patented in the USA in October 1985. Sodium bicarbonate has been suggested to increase the pH in the oral cavity, potentially neutralizing the harmful effects of bacterial metabolic acids. ~ Dr Sircus https://drsircus.com/chlorine-dioxide/periodontitis-chlorine-dioxide-and-cardiovascular-disease/
Fenbendazole Dog Dewormer + for Glioblastoma
1 month agoDear Einer,
Did you use the molasses ( I have blackstrap molasses) and baking soda topically (on a skin lesion? )
I have a spot on my head which looks like Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a little smaller than dime size . I am considering using your formula ( how much molasses, how much baking soda? ) . I would guess making a paste which sticks to the skin would be the way to go.
Your (and others) feedback would be appreciated)!

1 month agoIvermectin for Shingles?
Ivermectin seems to work at a molecular level by "gumming up" the spikes on the virus surface. The varicella zoster virus seems to look like corona virus in this regard (with the "corona" not from a beer but from /crown/ of course, owing to the spikes on its surface.) I only found limited evidence of the use of ivermectin for shingles, online. I'm creating this entry for some hoped for additions about this possibility.
