23 days agoHi Stephanie,
It would be hard for anyone to know what caused your heart failure and even your cardiologist would only be able to speculate on that. Cardiovascular disease is an age related disease which suggests that the older you get, the greater the risk becomes of occurrence.
If you are looking for supplements that will encourage recovery, here are several that have shown in studies to do that. All of these supplements and dosing will have to be approved by your cardiologist and or doctor.
1. Bringing your Vitamin D level (25 OH d) well up into the reference range of 30-100 ng/ml, which your doctor can test for you as you supplement vitamin D. 65 is a good number to aim for.
2. CoQ10 / Ubiquinol - 300 mg/ day in divided doses such as 100 mg at breakfast, 100 mg at lunch and 100 mg at dinner.
3. Magnesium Orotate - Take enough to get to the RDA of 300 mg of elemental magnesium for women.
4. D-Ribose - The dose will have to be set by your cardiologist. The dose range is 15 to 60 grams per day dissolved in a drink.
5. Melatonin - Dose as recommended by your cardiologist or doctor and taken about an hour before bed.
6. For the low blood pressure, you can ask your cardiologist and or doctor about temporarily increasing your salt intake as a means to raise it slightly.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Re: Borax
23 days agoHallo MMG
Wissen sie für einen studie brauchts geld und dann wieder Gewinne. Niemand hatte enteresse daran billige und nicht Patentierbare produkt zu investieren.Pharma endüstri am wenigsten enterese dafür. Dieser daten beruht auf Leute die Borax erfahrung gemacht und geheilt haben.Glauben oder lassen sie einfach.... Oder studie bei PupMed lesen. Danke
Hello MMG
You know, a study requires money and then profits. Nobody had any interest in investing in a cheap, unpatentable product. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are least interested in it. This data is based on people who have experienced borax and have been cured. Believe it or just leave it... Or read the study on PubMed. Thanks.
Re: Phantosmia
23 days agoHi there! I've experienced this when I got Covid. It worsened when I tried a vegan diet. Going back on red meat and taking an iron supplement took care of the problem completely. Another symptom that came with it was CRAVING the smell of chemicals like cleaning supplies and gasoline. Anytime I begin to enjoy pumping gas too much, or think I'm smelling a fire, I know I'm low on iron and it clears right up. Idk dosage - I just bought a simple iron supplement from Walmart.
Re: Lymphoma
23 days agoHi Art,
I believe I remember hearing a woman people may be familiar with on this site talking about how she had mites on the skin level. Her name is Amandha Vollmer (yummy.doctor). She met with doctor(s) who were unable to help her.
I believe she used her morning clean catch urine and applied it to her skin and let it sit for 45 minutes maybe an hour... She rinsed it off after, and the mite issue was no longer.
I absorb these pieces of wisdom people provide us and am terrible about pinpointing what video or article I learned it from. It was either a video or article on her site under the "urine therapy" link that I learned about how she healed herself.
Thanks for your follow up information!
Re: Osage Orange for Breast Cancer
23 days agoHello Rob,
I have made some tinctures, but I have not found any video on-line or guidance as to how I should expect it to look when ready. I know the general guidelines of how long a tincture should set and herbalists' opinions on whether you have to strain the plant matter out. What is your experience with your tincturing of osage orange?
I used two mason jars, cut the osage orange into sections filling one jar 3/4 of the way up and another almost the top of the jar (testing which may be more ideal for next year's batch), added 100 proof vodka to both (to the top of the jar), and tightly put on the lid. I noticed that the osage orange really must soak up the vodka because when I checked on it the first couple of days I have to add more vodka (almost an inch down from the top).
My question is...is there any discoloration to the osage orange while it is soaking up the vodka during the first week or two? I ask because I don't know what to look for if the tincture is unsafe due to being exposed to air or if the fruit was not acceptable for use.
I am testing out different ways to freeze them this week as well. If you have any quidance here... I was thinking of grating some fresh (freezing it), slicing some fresh (freezing that), and freezing one whole and taking from that by grating it and/or slicing it. Have you done this? If so, what was your experience?
Also, what herbs did you use for your mother in addition to the osage orange?
Thank you in advance for your insight!
Heart Disease Out of the Blue
23 days agoI am 75 years old and have always been the energizer bunny. I still work in real estate, I still clean the house, cook meals and socialize with friends often. I am married and take care of some of my friends if they can't do something for themselves. My grown children think I have more energy than they do. I woke up on May 16th and couldn't breathe. My husband had 911 come and take me to the hospital. I coded blue a few times but after 5 days in ICU I was released and told I had heart failure. My heart was running 30% its capacity. I have no family history and the doctors have no clue what caused this. I am still mostly in bed as I feel dizzy and weak all the time now. I can't keep up with my job anymore. My blood pressure is very low. I am taking a small dose of encresto twice a day. Does anyone know what might have caused this and how long I will feel sick. My neurologist just heard from me and he is sending me to a new heart doctor as he believes that I need answers but I don't see him until the end of October. I look like I am fine so my friends and clients always don't understand that I am not well. I finally got another echocardiogram and my heart is now at 50% and I still feel terrible. Thank you for any information you can share. Stephanie
Polyps in Sphenoid Sinuses - Need Remedies to Dissolve
23 days agoFirst time posting on this wonderful encyclopedia of healing remedies.
My wife has sinus infection for the pas 3 years. She tried everything imaginable, steaming all kinds of pinctures, herbal supplements from iHerb, moxibustion, accupuncture, colloidal silver as a nasal sprayer...etc. Finally she did MRI, and it shows polyps in Sphenoid Sinus. This is very rare, about 5% of all sinus infections. Sphenoid sinus is the furthest close to the middle of the head. Surgery is dangerous as it is very close to the CAROTID artery which supplies blood for the Brain. Also the Optalmic Nerve is nearby. She is scheduled to see her Neurologist to hear what he suggests to do. Anybody has any ideas to make the polyps gone? Should we need to do the same things as for regular Nasal Sinus Polyps, mentioned here, like Castor Oil, Colloidal Silver, Hydrogen Peroxide...etc.? Or there is something more effective for a faraway sinus? Appreciate your help people!!!
Re: Red Patch on Granddaughter's Cheek
23 days agoSounds like contact eczema, Hollyhock. Some of us are sensitive to citrus oils.
I would try washing the face well with soap, and also any clothes or blankets that may have the orange oils on them. Cover face with soothing protective ointment (not cream). If more help is needed, OTC hydrocortisone ointment applied in a very thin layer (a tiny bit goes a long way) will likely heal it.
Garlic Foot Bath for Asthma
24 days agoGarlic Fights Germs Penicillin Won't Touch – An Age-Old Remedy For Breathing Problems.
From the Book: Miracle Medicine Foods by Rex Adams, p. 21-22,37-43. 1977
In 1948, after years of research, scientists firmly established garlic's "penicillin power, " by isolating various substances in it.
Alliin, the first substance isolated, was effective against the germs that cause salmonella poisoning, dysentery, and the staphylococci germs that cause skin boils and running sores. It was also effective against the streptococci germs that cause scarlet fever, sepsis, diphtheria, erysipelas, inflammation of the lining of the heart (rheumatic fever). Alicin, the other garlic ingredient, fights conjunctivitis (eye infection), putrefaction (food decay in stomach and intestines), typhoid, cholera and TB. But the big point to remember is that garlic is able to combat some germs even penicillin won't touch, like baccillus paratyphoid-A, which creates confusing symptoms like dysentery, "fake influenza, " rheumatism, or kidney complications. Garlic vapors halt germs at a distance of 20 cm! Its germ-killing power remains in the bloodstream for 10 hours!
During World War II, thousands of tons of garlic were purchased by the British government for treating wounds. It had been reported that not one case of septic poisoning or gangrene occurred among those treated! Around this time Albert Schweitzer reportedly used it against typhus, cholera and leprosy. In Malmo, Sweden, during a polio epidemic, out of 1,204 children who took it, not a single case occured. A Japanese doctor reports its effect against gonorrhea!
The only warnings I have ever seen in print with regard to garlic are that it should be cooked** (?)—or diluted—for people with weak constitutions, avoided by those with an allergy to sulfur, and not placed directly on open wounds without being diluted first. The Russians used special containers filled with ground garlic placed directly over an infected wound—even in amputation cases. The vapors alone killed any germs, and soldiers' wounds were cleaned quickly and efficiently!
**This book was written in 1977. Fast forward 50 years and thru laboratory testing we now know that cooking garlic destroys 90% of it's medical value. I suggest steeping garlic in cool water to achieve infusion.
Garlic is reportedly the oldest, safest, and surest remedy for asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory ailments. For centuries, the Chinese, Greeks, and Egyptians all claimed that garlic cured infections of the respiratory tract. Dioscorides, a Greek physician who accompanied the Roman soldiers as their official doctor, in the 2nd century, specified garlic for all lung disorders. Pliny, the 1st century Roman naturalist, maintained that garlic cured consumption (TB). Down through the ages, garlic's reputation as an aid to breathing has persisted.
And this is because of garlic's proven antiseptic, germicidal powers. Grated garlic placed near the most vicious germs will kill them all in 5 minutes! Typhoid, cholera, polio, TB—even leprosy and gonorrhea—have all been stopped dead in their tracks by garlic! Against garlic, cold, flu, virus and allergy germs don't stand a chance!
In addition, the ethers of garlic are so potent and penetrating they dissolve mucus in the sinuses, bronchial tubes, and lungs. As one woman stated: "It was from an herb book that I learned about the wonders of garlic, and cleared up pneumonia congestion in my lungs when antibiotics failed." It is truly Poor Man's Penicillin!
NINETY PERCENT RELIEF REPORTED.
Among the best results that Messegue, the great French herbalist, has achieved are cases of asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory ailments. Messegue, himself, does not care much for statistics. But one of Messegue's colleagues spent countless hours tabulating the results of Messegue's treatments. For respiratory ailments, the record shows —

Source: *Of Men and Plants by Maurice Messegue, Ibid.
The cure—which involves garlic—was learned from Messegue's father, Camille. "He was successful in his treatment of asthma*" states Messegue, "which in those days could be traced to simpler causes… Nowadays, air, water and food are polluted by chemicals which we then breathe or swallow. My father used to treat asthma with foot-baths. He would drop what he called his macerations into three or four liters of water, and his patients would soak their feet in this for quite a time."(Messegue, Op, cit.)
Why the feet?" you ask. Why not? It doesn't really matter how you take garlic—its penetrative powers are so strong that even when applied to the soles of the feet its odor is exhaled by the lungs, within an hour!
BASIC PREPARATIONS.
(Reprinted with permission of Macmillan Publishing Co., from Of Men and Plants by Maurice Messegue Copyright © 1972 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson Ltd. Copyright © 1973 by Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc.)
For allergies, asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema, Messegue uses garlic—in large doses—in combination with other herbs and spices, all available without prescription at most health stores and herbal pharmacies. These applications are for external use only (foot baths, hand soaks, hip compresses) and are not to be eaten, or taken internally. All of Messegue's treatments include the following basic preparations.
Dried roots should be crushed; semi-fresh roots should be grated. Fresh plants should be chopped. Garlic should be crushed. He warns the user to follow the exact dosages given, otherwise the plants give undesirable, and sometimes disagreeable effects.
For foot and hand-baths, boil two quarts of water and allowed to stand for five minutes. Add to this 1/2 pint of crushed or chopped plants and let "macerate" for four or five hours, protected from dust. Then pour into a clean bottle (never use a metal container, he says). The resultant preparation can be used for eight days, without boiling or adding more water.

REPORTED RESULTS.
On a lecture tour in Morocco, Messegue was challenged by one of the doctors at a medical convention, and offered to treat an asthma patient deemed incurable. The patient was to accompany Messegue back to France—where he would be treated at Messegue's expense—and then returned to be examined by a panel of doctors.
The patient was a hairdresser, Narcose Murciano, father of five children, who was suffering from such severe chronic asthma that work had become impossible. His acute attacks were so serious that the last one had nearly killed him. His case was desperate.
The man was, in fact, so incredibly ill that Messegue thought he was dying. His skin had lost all its elasticity—it stuck together when pinched. "The journey, to France was a nightmare, " Messegue recalls. "The poor wretch had to be so careful not to waste any of what life he still had left that he made not the slightest movement. He even kept his eyes shut.
COMPLETELY CURED.
Two months later I took him back to Casablanca, completely cured, " says Messegue, "and he has had no more attacks to this day... Since then the doctors in Morocco have sent me every asthmatic who has failed to respond to traditional treatment.
CURED IN FIVE DAYS.
In another case a Mr. Peyrot gave this testimony: "I had consulted more than twelve French and Swiss medical practitioners, all capable men, but none of them was able to relieve my attacks of asthma. I was suffocating day and night, and Maurice Messegue cured me in five days.
DOCTOR ADMITS CURE.
Dr. Kreps, a surgeon and professor at Basel University, states: "... it is my duty to tell you that this man (Messegue) cured my own wife, who had always suffered from chronic asthma, against which we were powerless."
HOW GARLIC WORKS TO CUT PHLEGM, AND FIGHT INFECTION.
Here is another testimonial. One of Messegue's patients, a Mr. Glenna, from the southern part of France, states: "I kept getting lung abscesses: as fast as one would heal, another would return The doctors had more than given me up. The last two doctors had told me there was no hope and my wife was already preparing to go into mourning when her sister, who lives in Nice, told her that Mr. Messegue was performing miracles with his plants. I believe in herbs, myself. He gave me poultices and foot-baths, and my doctor in Menton had to admit that I was cured."
Melatonin Question for Art
24 days agoHi Rebecca,
A good friend of mine also experiences the vivid dreams/nightmares when taking more than 24 mg of oral melatonin at bedtime, but has found that melatonin lotion (ML) and melatonin gel (MG) do not have such an effect on him and so he uses the tolerable oral dose of melatonin and combines it with topical application of ML or MG to any painful areas he may have. If he has no painful areas, he just applies it to the front of his abdomen in the late afternoon or early evening. It may be useful for osteoporosis to apply to areas your doctor has pointed out as showing signs of osteoporosis. The hips would be a common area.
I explain how to make ML here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
I explain how to make MG here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-gel.html
If ML or MG do not fit into your plans, I discuss how to increase melatonin naturally as that method does not seem to have any side effects :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/how-to-increase-melatonin-naturally.html
Unfortunately, in the above link you will have to look for my replies in the comments section to find all of the ways I found to increase melatonin naturally as I added a post to the thread every time I found a new way to naturally increase melatonin.

Red Patch on Granddaughter's Cheek
24 days agoMy great granddaughter (7 months old) was chewing on an orange wedge Tuesday and now has a bright red patch on each side of her mouth. It's Sunday now and it isn't fading, it's almost looking like a burn the size of a quarter! I'm trying to come up with ideas for her mom to put on it (she tried neosporin, but I believe it made it worse). Please any advice?
Re: Hypersensitivity Vasculitis
24 days agoHi Mike,
Sounds like you've done this a few times, the kefir recipe. Is it possible to post the exact recipe instead of sharing the amounts and types of everything? Or, a link to the recipe you're referring to? I have purchased the bottles to make the sugar water kefir, and cannot locate a recipe for buckwheat kefir, in fact, AI tells me there's no such thing, which obviously, there is! Thank you for sharing and I'm working on your protocol as fast as I can! I too believe I have vasculitis (been to many doctors, including two cardiologists and gastroenterologist-countless tests and nothing seems to be wrong, according to them.) Finally, he suggested the Mayo Clinic and I have a phone appointment this coming Friday. From what I understand, many are declined an appointment with a doctor there.

Re: Dissolving Cataracts
24 days agoVera, I make the 4.2% NAC mixture. I mix about 1.4 grams NAC in distilled water to make 30mL then add 3mL pharma grade DMSO, which makes it 10% DMSO. (33mL x .042 = 1.386 grams). I apply several drops am with an eye dropper, 2x/day would provide quicker results. I added DMSO because bacteria would grow in the mix before I finished the original 30mL I made. DMSO is anti-bacterial and that stopped the bacterial growth. In several months I could tell a difference in my cataracts. This is what worked for me and everyone's experience may be different.
