As far as the paralyzed diaphragm, just having an "unbalanced bite", can cause paralysis, or partial paralysis (one side)of the diaphram. Look up Postural Restoration and malocclusion...YouTube should have some videos on it. It doesn't have to be a major imbalance, either...just the thickness of a piece of notebook paper can have huge effects. It's sounds crazy, but trust me....been there.

The nerve signals to her rear limbs were being blocked by inflamed disc tissue pressing on the spinal cord so legs were knuckling. Early stage. Reversible with aggressive, sustained anti-inflammatory intervention and nerve support." Vet recommended the following and after five months dogs was running.

Hi all...thanks to earth clinic and all the comments read over time, I have complete healing with my skin.

For about 6 years I suffered from skin excema, psoriasis and fungus inflammations..I went thro all the oozing peeling red rashes and itching..a life changing experience..I felt like Job..thinned out skin from all the chemicals and medical interventions ...I was desperate..I prayed...

I was led to blackseed oil, thyme oil and castor oil...mixed this in my aqueous cream and waited... burnt at first, but after a week the burning stopped ...I also took a teaspoon of blackseed oil everyday..no sugar at all...sugar is the enemy..tumeric tea every morning on an empty tummy..

It has been about 6months now..I have no redness, no inflammation and no break outs..skin is starting to thicken again..blemishes slowly fading..skin not sensitive anymore ...I can wear normal clothes again and also bend without skin rupturing...

Consistency and sacrifice is key..

Hi Wendy, you wrote this six years ago, would you have further feedback to give us? I bought DMSO and I am considering using it straight on the lipomas. Would it work? Did it work for you at the end? I hope it did! Thanks.

LED Lighting and Melatonin Levels

1 month ago
Posted by Art (California) on 08/26/2026

If you, like many of us, are now using LED light bulbs throughout your home, you should be aware that they tend to reduce or suppress melatonin production. The problem worsens if you are using "3000K" or higher rated bulbs, which are typically referred to as "daylight" or "cool white". The "2700K bulbs" or lower bulbs are often referred to as "warm white" and while still suppressing melatonin levels, are less suppressive to melatonin production than the 3000K or higher bulbs. Higher numbered bulbs are more suppressive while lower numbered bulbs are less suppressive when it comes to melatonin production.

So it is not advisable to use 3000K bulbs in your bedroom or bathroom, but remodelers often use these 3000K bulbs in bathrooms as they do seem to improve mirror visibility which apparently is helpful when applying makeup or shaving.

In my bathroom I have two switches for lighting, one for the recessed ceiling lights and one for the lights over the sink. I use both 3000K bulbs and 2700K bulbs. I use 2700K bulbs in the recessed ceiling lights and I use the 3000K bulbs in the light over the mirror. I use the recessed lights at night and. I use the 3000K lights in the morning for better visibility while shaving.

The melatonin suppressing effects of the 3000K bulbs is stronger than the 2700K bulbs so I try not to use any 3000K lighting at night when melatonin levels should be rising. This is important because melatonin has many healthful effects as I have discussed over the years on EC. Here is a little information from Google AI on how suppressive LED bulbs are of melatonin and the higher the "K number", the more suppressive it is:

' Blue Light Spectrum: LEDs emit a high concentration of short-wavelength blue light (around 450–480 nm), which strongly triggers the melanopsin receptors in your eyes and signals your brain to suppress melatonin production. '

Newer technology in LED bulbs are reducing this melatonin suppressing effect. Here is a little info on that technology from Google AI :

' Newer specialty LED bulbs use tailored spectra-such as true amber chips or optimized-circadian friendly to significantly reduce or eliminate the short-wavelength blue light responsible for melatonin suppression.'

Some of this newer technology in LED bulbs is just starting to come available.

Since melatonin production naturally declines with age, it seems like a good idea to do what we can to try and not add to that loss, given melatonin's many healthful effects.

Uva Ursi and Goldenrod Tea for Stubborn UTI

1 month ago
Posted by Jerome (Brooklyn, NY) on 08/26/2026

I have fought with recurrent UTIs (male) after heavy antibiotic treatment years ago including IV antibiotics for another condition. In the past I was able to mostly get rid of them using large amounts of colloidal silver, d-mannose and other remedies, but after a recent groin surgery I got stuck with a persistent one that would not fully go away no matter how much of the standard remedies I tried. I dealt with this infection on and off for over a year, and it even spread into epididymitis in my testicle. Recently I remembered one of my favorite herbalist websites and I am kicking myself for not checking his UTI treatment sooner, because it worked for me this time in one day. I am going to copy and paste his formula here. I purchased the loose herbs online elsewhere.

UT Tea

60gms Uva-Ursi leaf (Bearberry)
30gms Elder flowers
30gms Golden Rod leaf & flower
20gms Corn Silk

Mix them up and use 3-4 heaping tsps per each cup of tea. Let steep for ten minutes and drink 3-4 cups a day until the UTI is gone. In my case I noticed relief beginning after the first day.

I agree with all you say. I am now 78 and have been on Synthroid or levothyroxine since I was about 40. I read the whole insert in the Synthroid pkg and it warns about the bone problem. My last Dexascan said Osteopenia. Yet in all that time I have yet to find a doctor who will even humor me and subscribe the lowest dose of Armour for thirty days. I told her that Armour had T 2 and she had never heard of T2! Her answer was that I should take Calcium! I have a very low arterial calcium score and want to keep it that way.

Give castor oil packs a try you will have to order on amazon or other queen of thrones site for ex. Will need pure cotton or wool but dr barbara oneill has great advice for this as well on her you tube channel. Basically you wear it on tummy or over the liver at night with a good amount of castor oil applied and also can apply heat pad to further assist as castor oil is a deep penetrating healing oil look up and research its amazing. Has taken away lumps from under my skin and also helps with constipation put a few drops in belly button at night. Blessings!

Fibromyalgia Part 5

Fibromyalgia pain arises from central nervous system amplification of nociceptive signals, driven by neurotransmitter imbalance, impaired descending inhibition, and neuroinflammation.

Ask this question on Consensus AI

What happens biologically when pain occurs in fibromyalgia? Consensus AI

Substance P Elevated Facilitates pain transmission

Substance P is primarily found in the brain and spinal cord, particularly in regions associated with regulating emotion, such as the hypothalamus and amygdala. It is also present in sensory nerves and various tissues throughout the body.

Turmeric contains curcumin and Ginger have strong anti-inflammatory properties. It may help in reducing the release of Substance P, thus lowering pain perception.

Glutamate Elevated Enhances excitatory signaling, increasing pain

https://draxe.com/nutrition/gaba/

https://organiclinic.com/how-to-balance-glutamate-and-gaba-naturally/

The central nervous system in fibromyalgia patients is characterized by amplified pain processing, where the brain reacts more strongly to normal sensations, leading to increased pain sensitivity. This dysfunction results in a condition known as central sensitization, causing widespread pain and other symptoms without any visible injury or inflammation.

https://thebuffaloherbalist.substack.com/p/nervous-system-dysregulation-cortisol

Neuroinflammation and Glial Activation

Turmeric (Curcumin): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, curcumin can help reduce inflammation in the brain and support the health of glial cells. It may also enhance neurogenesis and protect against neurodegenerative diseases.

Ginkgo Biloba: This herb is often used to improve cognitive function and memory. It enhances blood circulation in the brain, which can positively influence glial cell activity and overall brain health.

Serotonin Decreased Weakens descending inhibition

Dopamine Dysregulated Disrupts reward and pain modulation

Rhodiola plays a significant role in regulating stress hormones, supporting the autonomic nervous system, and enhancing neurotransmitter levels, all of which contribute to improved brain function and emotional health. Rhodiola primarily regulates cortisol, which is the main stress hormone, by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This helps the body manage its stress response more effectively. Rhodiola is known to enhance levels of key neurotransmitters, including:

Serotonin Improves mood and emotional well-being

Dopamine Enhances motivation and cognitive function

https://yinyanghouse.com/theory/theory/auricular/

Autonomic/Sympathetic Nervous System, Spine, hypothalamus, amygdala, Brain Stem and other points used to calm and regulate pain-processing in Fibromyalgia.

Key supplements to focus on: Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Gaba, Passion Flower, Milky Oats, Turmeric.

Please seek out Naturopathic Doctor (telehealth if needed) and Acupuncturist for this complex disorder.

This should have been my first post. I'm not going to suggest what and how much to take. Regulating these areas and what info is in the websites offered should greatly reduce or normalize pain.

Colloidal Silver for Suspected Lyme

Colloidal Silver for Suspected Lyme

My husband had me remove a deer tick from his back 10 days ago. The area was already inflamed and red. It grew worse over the next couple of days. I made colloidal silver (technically, ionic silver) and had him taking 1/3 cup of it 3 times a day. (It is a low ppm solution.) Within 12 hours the inflammation had calmed significantly and continued to improve quickly. I will keep him on this for a couple of weeks.

We had considered getting antibiotics right away, but it was the weekend. By Monday with the silver, it was so much better, we didn't think a provider would find an antibiotic needed.

If he starts to show symptoms we will get him tested, but having found silver to be more effective than doxycycline for a tick borne disease in the past in our dog, I am hopeful that we have nipped anything serious in the bud.

I highly recommend researching and learning to make your own colloidal or ionic silver. I bought my generator from https://colloidalsilverhowto.com/ many, many years ago and have made gallons and gallons for my family, friends and pets.

Ear Plugs for Pressure Induced Migraines

1 month ago
Posted by Loulou (Warwick, Ny) on 08/25/2026

My husband has been suffering with migraines and bad headaches his whole adult life. Painkillers [otc or Rx] didn't work so he kept searching online. He has used heat and cold packs with limited success and tried to balance electrolytes. Then he did an Ai search on vitamins and supplements and the suggested stack seemed to help sometimes. So he went back to Ai and learned about using earplugs - maybe this time he searched under ‘barometric pressure' and this new information was given.

Well, we are so happy to report that this, and applying ice to the area, has been a game changer! He keeps track of the pressure changes to stay ahead and keeps the foam earplugs nearby. There is a product being sold [weatherx] but it is way more expensive than a packet of foam earplugs and they say the product is only good for 2 weeks after opening.
My husband tried that one also but it is very uncomfortable and seems gimmicky.

I hope this is helpful. Sometimes he gets a migraine at inconsistent, odd times where it could be food, alcohol or stress related. And it just gets tiring to keep track and follow thru on different protocols, so he'll stick to his ice packs, ear plugs and vitamin stack because those are the healthiest options. We are also self-employed and that gives him the freedom to just take the day off so he can rest and recuperate and stay off drugs that damage the liver.

EARTHCLINIC has been our go-to for natural remedies for over a decade. We are so grateful for this resource of information and to all those who contribute - words cannot express the value derived here.

I think you meant to say you were taking 150 mcg, the daily recommended dosage. Which is just enough prevent goiter. But, as per usual, when it comes to rdas in the U.S., not enough to optimize iodine levels.
