Re: Infected Heel From Diabetes
1 month ago@ Florida
A few months back this guy named Tim calls me. He is from Kentucky but now lives in the Philippines, he has family here in Kentucky so that's how he found me. Anyway, he is diabetic and has a hole in the bottom of his foot (texted me pics, GROSS). The local doctors wanted to cut his foot off since they could not control the infection.
Access to western medicine at his location on the Island was limited. So I told him a story about how the Roman soldiers used garlic infused oil (topically) to control infection and heal wounds. I also told him about how we use “Sugardine” on our farm animals and humans with wounds.
He was interested in using both methods. I instructed him over the phone how to make both.
2 or 3 months had past and Tim called me again to tell me the results. He had went back to the hospital in Manila. The doctor's took one look at his foot and were speechless. Only a callus was where the hole was. No infection or hole… The doctor asked him what he did to heal it? So Tim told him.

General Health Statement (New Open Forum Page Created in Remedies)
1 month agoHey all,
EC is a wonderful place for anyone to get help with issues, disorders, conditions, ailments and so on. In fact it is hands down better than any other site or medical doctor!
I would sooner use a site like this than go seek medical consultation with a white coat!
But, I have a few questions and I guess a statement...
First, Are people taking stock of their health and fitness? Or are people just looking to sites like this when they are ill?
I find as an Veteran, many of my ex and current soldiers 'let themselves go', then complain about things not related to service. They become overweight, then start having issues. They get lazy, sit around all day, and get issues. They eat garbage packaged food, fast food, then get issues.
Now of course people will say, as you age you get issues. Nah, I dont subscribe to that at all. Nowhere does it say you get issues just because your 50,60,70 or more. It doesn't have to be.
People need to take stock and take a good hard look at their life and tell themselves the truth.
Quick story from my life.
20 years service, many regions in the world. Been places and did things no one wants to do but a select few. We did them.
Our thanks, ptsd, depression, 6 fractured vertebrae, compressed and damaged left hip, perm nerve damage, headaches, episodes of fear and hate.
That was at 42, when I retired. They told me I would never walk without a cane, and most likely be in a wheelchair by 50. Lost my drivers license, spent 6 months in traction, meds and treatments for years.
Today perfect heath, 54 years old, no meds, 205 pounds of muscle, less than 10 percent bodyfat, can run 10k before left foot gets tingles, can squat over 400 pounds, hit the gym 6 days a week. No sign of anything else. Yearly check up on my back its almost completely healed. Bones healed, discs back in place, nerves good.
SO what I am getting at, is that no matter what crap comes down on you, and no matter how old you are, or what you think is 'normal' for your age, there is something you can do about it. If you eat right, exercise, take vitamins, and if religious-pray-you can overcome anything. Nothing is age related! Nothing can not be prevented. You don't need to get sick.
We need a massive worldwide push to get off meds, get away from the medical establishment, and start looking after ourselves BEFORE we get ill or sick.
Sorry all, I just needed to get it off my chest.
Best health for everyone!!

1 month agoI am newly diagnosed with a fatty liver and gallstones. Thank you for this information on castor oil packs. I'm going to look into it. Have you gotten sick from the fatty liver or gallstones? What are you doing to treat the gallstones? Along with castor oil packs are you doing anything else for the fatty liver?

1 month agoAvoid Benadryl With Fibro
1 month agoHi Ruralady,
While more studies are continuing to suggest that Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) can cause or contribute to dementia and AD, newer studies are suggesting that Tylenol / Acetaminophen / Paracetamol also can increase the risk for dementia as discussed here :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0163834323001317
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Participants who regularly used paracetamol had a significantly higher risk of new-onset all-cause dementia (adjusted HR, 1.18; 95%CI: 1.10–1.26), compared with non-users. '
The Tylenol is also noted for liver failure as discussed here :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441917/
Here are two relevant quotes from the link :
' Acetaminophen toxicity is the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide and the most common cause of liver failure in the United States. Responsible for 56, 000 emergency department visits and 2600 hospitalizations, acetaminophen poisoning causes 500 deaths annually in the United States. '
' Factors such as alcohol use, genetics, age, medications, herbal supplements, and nutritional status can enhance acetaminophen's ability to damage the liver. In addition to liver failure, affected patients may experience renal failure as a consequence of acetaminophen toxicity.
Acetaminophen is a medication I will always avoid.

Avoid Benadryl With Fibro
1 month agoHi Ruralady,
The melatonin lotion you would be using during the day so if it keeps you awake, it would not be a problem. From feedback from users of ML, the lotion doesn't always have the same effects as oral melatonin.

Re: Hydrogen Peroxide Drops for Cancer
1 month agoMy wife and I take care of orphans and widows in Rwanda. One of our widows, after a tdouble mastectomy, had a tumor re-appear and was spreading across her chest and she couldn't raise her left arm w/o great pain. The doctors basically sent her home to die. We put her on topical 3% solution, applying to her chest twice a day, allowing it to soak in. Within 2 weeks, pain was totally gone w full restoration of movement and, the dark tumor, which had spread across 1/3 of her chest, started to shrink. Now in her 4th month, the tumor is almost is barely visible and she feels great with her hope restored. Hallelujah and Praise the Lord!
Avoid Benadryl With Fibro
1 month agoThank you Art, I usually use CBD lotion and it works well. I have ADHD on top of fibromyalgia so my brain is in overdrive. In order to calm the brain Benadryl works great but Melatonin keeps me awake. I tried Melatonin last night and was wide awake until 6am so I took a Tylenol PM and fell asleep in about a half hour. I stayed asleep until noon and woke refreshed. I figured I'll add coconut oil to my coffee and vit B12 sublingual. Will it hold off the dementia? Probably not but for now there's no other alternative until I try a different approach. Thank you again.
Re: Brain State Technology Eliminated Epilepsy
1 month agoI know to what Sandhya is referring. It is NeuroFeedback. There are a couple forms of it. I checked out what I call version 1 of NeuroFeedback. It involves an outsider watching what's happening in your "brain feed" (so to speak) and entering the "feedback" to encourage it to make changes. While this version has plenty of successes, it also has the possibility of negative experiences, especially if the therapist is not specific enough or simply not trained enough. It can create problems. Again a properly trained therapist can make great and positive differences. No doubt.
When I stumbled across what I call "version 2", that is what I chose because your own brain is giving the feedback, not an outsider. So, you are never pushed too far too fast or go too slow or go "in the wrong direction". Your brain gives itself the feedback necessary to make positive changes. Of all sorts, not just for improving or elimination seizures! There is a long list of challenges with which it helps.
It's done great things for me. I highly recommend it.
Is there a brand I use? Yes. While I understand I can't state exactly what it is, I will say that it has been the "Optimal" one for me. Do a search on it, and you'll see what I mean.
Also look at studies of NeuroFeedback in your searches. You'll see there many showing improvements for seizures/epilepsy very clearly.
Unfortunately if you do not have much for funds, this might be difficult to access. Depending on the therapist (no matter which version they offer) and location, the prices can widely vary. Look around.
Me? I got lucky. I had unexpected funds come in from a couple different sources. Otherwise, this would have remained out of my reach.
