1 month agoRe: Toddler Bit By Tick - MtM, Please Suggest Remedies
1 month agoDear Hollyhock,
I am sorry to hear about your granddaughter's tick bite! I am not familiar with Ledum pellets, but I have used homeopathy for older infants and toddlers before. Maybe someone with experience with Ledum pellets will chime in.
It is unfortunate that the bite is in such a sensitive spot as it does limit the remedies that can be used.
If you can get her to take turmeric internally it has anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic properties. For a toddler I would try 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder mixed in yogurt or applesauce 4 times a day. Tick bites can, at a minimum, cause a lot of itching and the turmeric really helps that. Also, garlic any way, any form can be used in foods liberally for the same purposes as turmeric.
I would definitely keep sugar to a minimum to allow the body to fight any potential disease and minimize inflammation.
If the eye swells you can try a moist black tea bag or chamomile tea bag if she will tolerate it. Charcoal poultices are another option but very messy for toddlers and usually not well tolerated.
If it is any comfort, my very young son had so many tick bites when we first moved to Tennessee 14 years ago. I kept him on astragalus root for a long time to prevent Lyme's Disease. He never did show any signs of sickness and he is now a very healthy teen. If the risk of tick bites is high, I do recommend astragalus root for immunity building and maintenance.
Keep me posted on how she is doing! I am curious as to what the pediatrician recommends. One of my older sons had to take antibiotics for a tick bite that had a bulls eye rash 25 years ago. He has never been any worse for the wear.

Toddler Bit By Tick - MtM, Please Suggest Remedies
1 month agoMama to many, I hope you can suggest a treatment for tick bite on our granddaughter tight under her eyelid. We got it out, I cleaned the area with colloidal silver several times. I have Ledum pellets, but unsure if it's safe to give a 15 month toddler. We are calling the pediatrician in the morning for advice as well. Any advice please, we are all shook up!

1 month agoRe: Alkalizing Protocols
1 month agoThe carbonation process in baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is not a natural property but a chemical reaction that occurs when the alkaline powder contacts an acid, such as vinegar, lemon juice, or stomach acid. This interaction causes the sodium bicarbonate to break down into water, carbon dioxide gas, and salt, with the rapid release of carbon dioxide bubbles being the primary visible result. In baking, this gas creates pockets that make dough rise, while in the stomach, it neutralizes excess acid but produces gas that can lead to burping or bloating.
When ingested, sodium bicarbonate impacts the body primarily by acting as a buffer to neutralize acidity. In the stomach, it raises the pH level to relieve heartburn or indigestion, though the resulting gas production can cause discomfort. In the bloodstream and muscles, it helps combat acid buildup during intense exercise, potentially delaying muscle fatigue and improving performance, but it is high in sodium, with just half a teaspoon containing about 630 mg of sodium.
The body naturally manages carbon dioxide and bicarbonate levels through a complex buffering system that maintains blood pH balance, where carbon dioxide is eventually expelled through the lungs. While plain carbonated water is acidic (pH 5–6) due to dissolved carbon dioxide forming carbonic acid, sodium bicarbonate itself is alkaline and raises pH rather than lowering it. Excessive consumption can lead to side effects like bloating, gas, and high sodium intake, which may affect blood pressure or interact with certain medications.

1 month agoRe: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Schizophrenia
1 month agoSomething to be aware of:-
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning causes cardiovascular damage and potential psychotic episodes through distinct but related mechanisms of hypoxia and neurotoxicity. Cardiovascular Presentation CO binds to hemoglobin with an affinity 200 times greater than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin and severely reducing oxygen delivery to tissues. The heart is particularly vulnerable due to its high oxygen demand, leading to myocardial ischemia, acute cardiomyopathy, and reduced ejection fraction. Clinical signs include tachycardia, hypotension, arrhythmias (such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias), and ST-segment changes on electrocardiograms. Severe cases can result in myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, and cardiopulmonary arrest, with cardiac biomarkers like troponin and BNP often elevated.
Psychotic Episode Presentation
Psychotic symptoms, such as paranoid ideas, auditory hallucinations, and delirium, typically arise as delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae (DNS) occurring 2 to 40 days after the initial exposure, though they can occur acutely in severe cases. This occurs because CO-induced hypoxia and lipid peroxidation cause demyelination of white matter (particularly in the globus pallidus and basal ganglia) and mitochondrial dysfunction. Patients may present with organic brain syndrome, psychosis, cognitive impairment, or personality changes, which can be resistant to standard antipsychotic treatments and require long-term neuropsychiatric support.

One level full tablespoon of borax in a cup of room temperature water should make a saturated solution of borax. After dissolving you may see a very small amount of borax at the bottom that hasn't dissolved and that indicates the solution is fully saturated.

Salicylic Acid Exfoliant for Jock Itch
1 month agoHad jock itch mainly on the left side of my crotch. Red, itching and stinging but no blisters or broken skin. Tried Oil of Oregano and rubbing alcohol. Nothing.
Here's what worked.
1. Hot soapy shower.
2. Dried gently with hair dryer.
3. Applied salicylic acid exfoliant for nose black heads. Used only one pad for both left and right side of crotch.
4. Wore a robe with no underwear for about an hour to let it work and dry.
Itching and stinging stopped almost instantly. All symptons gone by the next morning and has not come back.
Oregano Oil for Candida
1 month agoMy body was full of candida, which would show on my face as whiteheads. I have tried many things for it over the years without success. However, lately, I bought oregano oil capsules with the hopes that it would help with parasites. Instead, I think it worked on the candida in my body. My face was clear and smooth after treatment. I took 2 capsules daily after a meal for 5 days straight. The bottle says 4000mg and 2 capsules as the dosage.
One thing, though, is that it lowered my blood sugar levels, so be mindful and try to fix that if it occurs. Also, I recommend that you do not take it for more than 5 days in a row.

Remedies for Sore Throat and Flu
1 month agoRemedies for Sore Throat and Flu
I mixed 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil with 1 teaspoon of cold-pressed organic neem oil and 1 teaspoon of blackseed oil. I then dipped my finger in the mixture and rubbed it on my throat, around my ears, and at the back of my neck. Within a few hours, the sore throat was gone, and the flu symptoms disappeared by morning. I did the same for my daughter, and she was perky the next morning, no flu symptoms or sore throat.
