Re: Appendix and Bad Breath Connection?
1 month agoHi Teresa,
One possibility is that your partner had somehow acquired pathogenic bacteria that was residing on his appendix and given the length of time involved, these bacteria could have developed biofilms to protect itself from antibiotics as well as the bodies own natural defenses. This bacteria could have been fueling the halitosis and removal of the appendix would have gotten rid of the offending bacteria and their biofilms as well as the halitosis.

Re: Seeking Remedies to Heal & Remineralize Tooth Cavity
1 month agoHi Parsnip, I was seeing a dentist about 6 years ago for a cleaning and identified a cavity, also had x-rays. (Then covid) I finally went back recently for one of my 3 cleanings a year and the significant cavity from my chart was completely gone! Now, the only thing I do differently is I brush my teeth and toung once or twice a day with a pasty mixture of coconut oil, baking soda, pearl powder and a few drops of peppermint oil. After rinsing, I use a 4oz brown glass spray bottle of chlorine dioxide solution (3000 ppm, this strength does not bother me. You can dilute it however you'd like with distilled water)and spray 20 pumps into the mouth, (that approximately 1 or 2ml) holding and swishing for about a minute and swallowing. You can spit it out. That's just what I do, I have a septic system that I don't want to disrupt. As you can imagine he was perplexed. He also asked which dentist I had been seeing. I answered none! I tried explaining the cds routine to him while he was working on me, but that's about 5 seconds and he's got his fingers back in my mouth. Lol So, when he was done, found nothing, said you have the youngest looking mouth for a 63 year old that I have ever seen! Keep swishing with what ever that crap is! Lol 😆

1 month agoSupplements for Fibromyalgia (Part Two)
1 month agoFibromyalgia Part II
Nutrient Deficiencies: Impact on Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Vitamin D: Low levels are linked to increased pain, fatigue, and sleep issues. Supplementation may improve symptoms.
Magnesium: Deficiency can lead to muscle weakness, increased inflammation, and heightened pain perception.
Vitamin B12: Important for nerve health and energy; low levels can exacerbate fatigue and pain.
Iron: Non-anemic iron deficiency is common and can contribute to fatigue and overall weakness.
Boron: deficiency correlate with increased pain severity. taken in low dose 1/8 teaspoon (see borax guide lines. Aides in IL-6 and other markers.
Choline: reduced choline levels may correlate with increased pain severity.
Leptin Hormone: reduced increases appetite. Leptin supplements.
In women low Progesterone can create inflammation. Bio-identical hormones are available. Test for Estrogen and Progesterone levels.
Mitochondria: supporting supplements
NAD+: Acts as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, essential for energy production.
CoQ10: Supports ATP synthesis and protects against oxidative damage.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Regenerates other antioxidants and improves mitochondrial efficiency.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Enhances energy production by transporting fatty acids into mitochondria.
PQQ: Stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis, improving overall cellular energy.
Urolithin A: Promotes mitophagy, the process of removing damaged mitochondria.
Inflammatory markers in the body that create inflammation.
Herbs to reduce C-reactive proteins: Red Ginseng, Turmeric, Ginger, Green Tea and Boswellia
Herbs to reduce TNF-α inhibitors: Turmeric (Curcumin), Ginger, and Green tea
Dysregulation of IL-6 can contribute to the symptoms experienced by individuals with fibromyalgia.
Proven Supplements to Reduce IL-6
1. Curcumin: Blocks IL-6 activity; pair with black pepper for absorption.
2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil, reduces IL-6 and supports heart/brain health.
3. Vitamin D: Regulates immune function, lowers IL-6 in deficiency.
4. Magnesium: Calms the nervous system, reduces IL-6.
5. Resveratrol: Found in red grapes, lowers IL-6 and supports heart health.
6. Quercetin: Inhibits IL-6, boosts antioxidants, lowers histamine.
7. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC): Precursor to glutathione, reduces inflammation.
A hyperactive nervous system can produce inflammation. A nervine like Skullcap or Oat-straw can calm the nervous system. Stress and anxiety can also induce inflammation. When the Amygdala in the brain is not functioning properly the fight, flight or freeze processes can kick in producing inflammation. Ashwagandha works with the Amygdala, hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenals, thyroid and testes or ovaries. Restless sleep or difficulty getting to sleep increases inflammation: Melatonin

1 month agoMagnesium Oil Spray for Hairloss—Research suggests that you can try using magnesium oil spray for hair growth. A study conducted in Germany found that supplying magnesium to hair follicles can trigger hair growth. The study involved spraying magnesium oil on the scalp or any part of the body, coupled with a foot soak in Epsom salt water for 12 weeks. This regimen resulted in a 59.7% increase in hair (5). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5579607/

1 month agoRe: Internal Use of Comfrey
1 month agoI don't understand the fear of comfrey while every pharmaceutical medicine is liver damage and that's just one of many side effects. But people pay no attention to that. I have osteoporosis and my bones got so inflamed I was on a walker in severe pain. It wasn't getting better but was getting worse. Back hurt so bad I couldn't stand for long. It's really hard to cook when you have to constantly have the walker. I know from years of experience what comfrey can do so I called a reputable man that friend his own and fixes his own and ordered the oil. I rubbed it on the most painful part and was getting better slowly. Them I started taking the oil by mouth. Fast forward within a month I am off the walker, sleeping at night and pain is 80 percent better. So pharmaceuticals drugs for me that has MANY side effects NO, just give me God's medicine. I don't abuse it, but will take til all pain is gone.

1 month agoJay,
Thank you so much for your post about Wheatgrass and Cataracts.
I received my wheatgrass today. I am excited to start.
Do you take all (4) scoops at the same time or space them over the day?
I'm going to start with (1) scoop for a couple of days and work up to (4) just to get my body acclimated to it.

1 month agoRe: Borax for Energy
1 month agoHi again, Steve,
If you have a boron deficiency, that could be a potential reason why because boron can improve the following :
- Magnesium utilization
- Vitamin D metabolism
- Calcium regulation
- Steroid hormone metabolism
- Cellular membrane function
- Low-grade inflammatory signaling
Because magnesium and vitamin D are involved in ATP production and muscle function, improving their effectiveness could make someone feel noticeably more energetic.
It also lowers certain relevant inflammatory mediators such as TNF, C-reactive protein and IL-6 which can cause fatigue.
Boron also does other things in the body which could potentially contribute to an increased feeling of energy, but these other effects are not well scientifically studied in humans.

Re: Borax for Energy
1 month agoyes I originally took it for arthritis. TBH I think I'm super sensative to its effects as now I take one to three little sips in a liter bottle that's been diluted with a pinch of borax and I can feel that tremendously. Have you tried any other brands besides 20 mule? So you are saying it took several weeks to notice a difference with arthritic pain? I'm wondering why I feel an energetic effect so much when most people don't? I don't understand that.
Borax for Energy
1 month agoHi Steve,
I use 20 Mule Team Borax available in most market laundry aisles. I never noticed the increase in energy, but that is a known effect of borax so morning dosing is suggested because it can interfere with sleep in some people. For me, I use the dose that Ted recommended for men of a quarter teaspoon in a quart of water, each day, sipped throughout the day for 5 days on and 2 days off. I tried the women's dose of 1/8th teaspoon, but it was not as effective for me as the quarter teaspoon.
Are you taking this for arthritis? It took roughly a month for me to see noticeable improvement and around three months to become pain free. I have severe psoriatic arthritis and it has kept me virtually pain free for over 18 years now!
Not everyone can tolerate borax, but the majority of people can. It is not a cure, but for me it has been life changing and it is easily the least expensive supplement I take.

Re: DMSO for Spermatocele
1 month agoYou can dilute 100% DMSO in a glass container with distilled water to any percent you want. I would not use 100% because it may irritate your skin. You can use the internet to see what others are using on the skin. I dilute to about 70%. It does not need to be exact. You can try 60% or less. Or you can buy some pre mix product. It works fast. Just apply it and let it dry 1 or 2 times a day. I would be careful about what you mix with DMSO.
Re: DMSO for Macular Degeneration
1 month agoThis is from A Midwestern Doctor
• DMSO is an “umbrella remedy” capable of treating a wide range of challenging ailments due to its combination of therapeutic properties (e.g., reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and reviving dying cells).
• DMSO has a unique affinity for the eyes, resulting in it (often spontaneously) treating a wide range of visual disorders that frequently cannot be treated with conventional therapeutic options.
• DMSO's ability to restore circulation, revive dying cells, and stabilize misfolded proteins allows it to treat a variety of retinal diseases (e.g., macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or retinitis pigmentosa—in some cases reversing permanent blindness), eliminate visual obstructions (e.g., floaters and cataracts), reverse glaucoma or Fuchs' dystrophy, and restore normal focus (frequently eliminating the need for glasses).
• DMSO's anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties allow it to treat dry eyes, inflammatory diseases around the eye (e.g., blepharitis, styes, and psoriasis) or within the eye (e.g., iritis, uveitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis), along with bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral eye infections such as shingles.
•DMSO's healing properties also allow it to heal a variety of eye injuries (including severe ones which would otherwise require eye removal), skin issues around the eye (e.g., burns, skin tags, and under-eye bags), and eliminate eye muscle spasms.
•This article will review the extensive data demonstrating DMSO's efficacy for eye diseases, along with an examination of the most common protocols used for them and other natural approaches that also aid in the treatment of common eye disorders.

Borax for Energy
1 month agoCan anyone please share their experience with beginning Borax and what you personally take for minimum effective dose? I did just a pinch the first day but I felt almost too much energy as it was hard to sleep at night and I took my dose in the morning. Also have any of you felt this with 20 mule? Cause that's the brand I'm using. All experiences are appreciated.

Re: Turmeric, Mustard Seed Oil Reducing Hemorrhoid
1 month agoDo you have a flank hernia and bulge or a herniated disc? Does any bulge reduce when you lie down? DIM (a supplement from crucifferous veggies) or anti estrogen meds may help as (some) rodent hernias will self heal in studies. So herbals and poultices have potential. I have an inguinal hernia and manage it for 15 years.
