30 days agoHi Daniel,
There are ways to increase vitamin D receptors(VDR) without using a drug.
Even lower dose vitamin D will increase VDR.
Curcumin will increase VDR.
Magnesium glycinate will increase VDR.
Resveratrol will increase VDR.
Inulin will increase VDR.
That's 5 ways to increase VDR without drugs and there are others.
Resistance training will increase VDR.
Probiotics will increase VDR.
Melatonin both directly and indirectly can increase VDR.
Sun exposure indirectly increases VDR.
Astaxanthin can protect existing VDR through its potent anti inflammatory effects.
That's a total of 10 supplements or natural means that can help in the VDR department without the use of drugs.

Re: Melatonin for Cavity and Gum Soreness
1 month agoHi Alan,
My friend told me she uses dissolve in the mouth melatonin tablets and she placed the tab at the site of the cavity and the site of where she was experiencing gum pain and just let it dissolve there at bedtime.

Re: Vitamin Deficiency and Essential Tremors
1 month agoDr. Marshall is using a drug to try and activate the vitamin D receptor (VDR). So, his protocol says to *not* take vitamin D since it will compete with the drug at the receptor sites. A more "earth clinic" approach is to improve vitamin D receptor activity without drugs, and a good starting point for learning about this is here: https://vitamindwiki.com/pages/vitamin-d-receptor/
One of many approaches to overcome poor VDR: Dr. Cícero Coimbra actually uses ultra high doses of D3. And along with other elements to his protocol, he deletes autoimmune disease to the tune of 95% of all his MS patients erasing all non-permanent symptoms (permanent symptoms being only due to having not been treated before some permanent damage was done).
Re: Ivermectin for Mange
1 month agoPlease do not recommend chemicals or pharmaceuticals that are toxic to dogs and humans. It's time to stop promoting ivermectin. The remedy using borax and peroxide is effective. Additionally, it should be noted that this is a topical remedy. It's also important to provide dogs with a rich and nutritious raw diet, a stress-free environment, and plenty of opportunities for play and exercise.
Re: Melatonin for Cavity and Gum Soreness
1 month agoRe: B12 for Pernicious Anemia
1 month agoHave you tried increasing your stomach acid with ACV or HCL tablets? For HCL tablets you increase the number of tablets taken one by one at each meal until you notice your stomach burning and then back off one tablet and keep taking that number per meal until that number produces a burn in the stomach, next meal you back off one tablet. Continue this until you're at a stable dosage or even no longer need supplementation. So many people take PPI medications to decrease stomach acid in a misguided understanding that "too much" stomach acid causes acid reflux, when it is actually too little. Stomach acid causes the lower esophageal sphincter to close tighter, so when acid is low is when the reflux symptoms occur. If you're already on a PPI, getting off that and improving your stomach acid is a very difficult process, so seek a naturopathic/holistic provider experienced in that to help you. Without stomach acid, not only are you not absorbing B12, there are a whole lot of nutrients your body is unable to absorb through food. Best of luck to those in this situation.
Ice for Cold Sores
1 month agoI can't believe no one has mentioned this (at least I haven't found it). As soon as I feel that familiar tingle, signalling the beginning of a cold sore, I "kiss" an ice cube or something cold. Keep doing it as long as you are able and do it as often as you think of it. This prevents the cold sore from forming at all, and even if it does, keep up the cold treatment and you will hardly notice the cold sore. Such a life saver and so simple and cheap!
Best Natural Treatment for Atrial Fib?
1 month agoRe: Blue Blocker Glasses
1 month agoJust FYI - Dr. Kruse is a neurosurgeon so HIS solution to HIS light problem was to move to Louisiana and take his clothes off, LOL! Which ain't happening, for me, so you'll have to get creative . My solution, I suspect, and though not laboratory grade, is probably going to involve morning sunlight for the eyes, less clothing and controlling dastardly man-made blue light flood with terracotta colored bed sheets to create a sort of indoor "light shower", amber cellophane and dyed linen fabric and curtains, but only because I happen to have about a quarter ton of linen laying around. I've already replaced most of my LED bulbs with incandescent ones (for some low wattage heat experiments) and will try to get the last or them replaced, today.
Also designing a mobile, private, outdoor sunbathing booth, which is sort of tricky.

Well I realy don't know it is supposed to to eat scar tissue and having had 2 hernia operations and the one in the groin done twice so lots of netting put in so you feel a tuck (pain) now and than in those area's.
Invermectin why there? some months ago at the same spot it looked like I was starting to grow a Horn lol a triangle piece of skul of about 1/4 inch I figured. Toke it to My lady Dr. who has taken me under her wings so to speak . She said that is cancer but not a bad one. it came sort of loose and than putting the invermectin on it it came off in short order. The one I'm working on now is not quite ready to come of but at the same spot.

Omega-3 and Age Spots
1 month agoAge spots gone after 28 years!
At 47 I was horrified to see horrible dark age spots appearing on the back of my hands. I am now 75 and they just got worse every year, with my hands looking as though they belonged to a 90 year old.
Two months ago my tibia was broken in a car accident and I had to spend 6 weeks in hospital. My diet at home had been keto and gluten free for years but in those 6 weeks I had to eat what they served. It was fish 9 times out of 10, with mostly cabbage, csuliflower of green beans. I declined the carbs.
Anyhow I have been home for two weeks and a few days ago, to my shock, I noticed that my age spots were gone and my hands looked young again!
I asked AI if it could be the change of diet and I was told that it was due to being flooded with high doses of omega 3 in the fish!!!! Apparently my usual 2g of cod liver oil was not enough to affect such change, but 6g to 8g will do the job!
Re: Reply to Art
1 month agoHi Gerri,
On the melgel, you might try going up to 6 ounces of gin and deduct 2 ounces of the aloe vera gel as 1.5 teaspoons of melatonin powder is likely beyond the solubility limit of 4 ounces of gin. This will give you the same size batch, but likely more potent as more of the melatonin powder will be dissolved.
If it wasn't so expensive, I would use 190 proof ethanol to dissolve the melatonin as I would then be able to easily make a 5% solution as has been used in studies.
I have to admit that I have heard many people on the internet who extol the virtues of ultra high dose vitamin D, but you are the first one I have communicated with who is actually doing it. I have tried it many times over the years starting at 50, 000 iu per day and trying to work my way up from there, but without fail, within a week I start getting kidney pain and have to stop. Well, at least I tried.
What benefit(s) have you gotten from using serrapeptase for about a year? I just started a friend on that one for a cracking voice due to throat congestion and the problem was gone before a week had gone by.
Sounds like you are doing well with no meds and only supplements, long may it remain so!
What benefit have you gotten from the ivermectin paste applied to the area where you had the head injury? Why did you start applying it there in the first place?

Blue Blocker Glasses
1 month agoI don't know if anyone is following Dr. Kruse, with regard to the dangers of blue light but, if you are and if you noticed a difference wearing the glasses, I have something else you might want to try -
It doesn't have to be perfect to notice a difference. Basically, before shelling out big bucks for some fancy sunglasses, just get some cheap, amber safety glasses and use those. You'll notice changes right away BUT - And this is the other thing you'll want to try - I took mine glasses off and put them around my neck to block the over-abundant blue light from beating on my thyroid and wow!
I won't go into all of what I've been up to in my explorations these past few months as I've been focused on herbs and only saw my first Dr. Kruse interview a couple of days ago but the blue light issue is so intense, it's a "right now" event - a happening that's happening right now, through your eyes and your skin, where it's beating up on your over-exposed, "close to the surface" thyroid, right this minute - so there's an immediate effect. Like palming the eyes reduce stress, light effects things in real time. Palming has its effect because it blocks light - including the dastardly blue light - and I've only had my glasses around my neck for about a half hour and am experiencing a significant boost of energy. Even more than wearing them normally, for the eyes.
I don't know if I have an undetected issue with my thyroid or what it is but I'm experiencing a measurable difference, even without any fancy equipment to actually measure what's going on.
I've experienced some unexpected and unmistakable changes and adjustments in my eyes and vision from wearing them normally but this is even more so. And this is with regular, cheap amber safety glasses so I'm guessing that even haphazardly blocking SOME blue light will have an effect on those who are over-exposed - as nearly everyone must be, given the use of phones, computers, night-time and/or all day and often even sleep-time LED light exposure.
As Dr. Kruse says, this is big and far more important than what one eats or how much vitamins, minerals and exercise one gets. This is SUPER big science that's happening right now and looking at these things that have never been looked at, physiologically, before - and when I say "SUPER" big, I mean big, as in "BIG", with a cape, big. Particularly when it comes to vision, aging and, apparently, weight-loss. Which I can't report on having only come upon this "not quite new" information in just the past couple of days.
So, for those who enjoy such things, get your scientific reference books, glossaries and dictionaries out and look into it - for those who enjoy such explorations. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
Re: Elderly Mother With Severe Chronic Edema - Please Suggest Remedies
1 month agoCaution is warranted with regards to fish, evening primose oil and fish oil -- as all can thin the blood. Many people with edema in their legs and feet also have venous insufficiency, and can develop wounds/ulcers because blood pools in the feet. Taking blood thinners can make this much worse.
Re: Thyroid Question
1 month agoGertJr, when I started my hypothyroid journey back in 2007?, I had already discovered I couldn't trust the men in white coats. I learned I had to educate myself and not rely on doctors to get me well. I have found most endocrinologists will keep you sick because your TSH is their gold standard. Forget about your symptoms! I learned so much from Stop The Thyroid Madness. Read their most current edition book. Check out their website. They have a Facebook page. Take the time to learn from others who have gone before you. It'll be well worth your time. I wish you the best on your thyroid journey. -- Susan
