CT Scan Question for Art
1 month agoHi Marsh,
It is a good idea to use melatonin as a protectant against radiation prior to and after the CT scan, you can use dissolve in the mouth tablets or melatonin lotion applied to the abdomen. The CT scan delivers more radiation than a standard x-ray as discussed here :
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' CT scans usually require more exposure to radiation than common x-rays because they use a series of x-ray images. Increased exposure means a slightly higher risk of possible short-term and long-term health effects. '

1 month agoEgg White Eye Flush (New Ailments Page Created)
1 month agoHomemade eye wash for something in your eye
I use this recipe to get something out of my eye. Whether it is a piece of dirt something tiny that got in there that causes irritation this method works. For example just recently I had a stink bug fly near the eye and when I brushed it away it squirted a burning liquid in my eye. Here is what I did:
Purchase an eye cup. Take an egg and separate it into a bowl only leaving the egg white. Be careful no shell in it at all. Heat it in microwave maybe 7 seconds to warm. Pour it into the eye cup and lean back put cup over eye and open your eye. It is soothing and will eventually get out what was in your eye.
This helped tremendously when I was tryin to get that hurtful acidic liquid out of my eye from the stink bug. I rinsed it out a few times with the white of the egg and got instant relief.
Campho Phenique for Ear Pain and Ache
1 month agoCAMPHO-PHENIQUE for EARACHE and PAIN –
From the Book: The Alkaloidal Clinic, Volume 4,1897
Editor Alkaloidal Clinic: In earache of children or that accompanying la grippe in adults, I find a combination of Campho-Phenique and almond oil, equal parts (1:1 Ratio), warmed and dropped into the ear, followed by a pledget of wool or cotton, a very soothing and efficient remedy.
MARIE L. HOLLOWAY, M. D., Decatur, Indiana.
Dr. Holloway's hint is "worth minding, " for no pain is more unbearable than that of earache. -ED.
I've often wondered over the years about using Campho-Phenique for ear pain. Campho-Phenique is a pain reliever/antiseptic for temporary relief of pain and itching associated with insect bites, minor burns, sunburn, minor cuts, scrapes, cold sore. first aid to help protect against infection in minor cuts, scrapes, burns.
Campho Phenique was first introduced in 1884 as a results of experimentation in 1867 with phenol by Joseph Lister. Lister demonstrated that using phenol to clean a patient's skin before and after surgery could greatly reduce infections.
The Active Ingredients: Camphor 10.8% (Strenghth 108 mg in 1 mL) and Phenol 4.7% liquid (Strenghth 47 mg in 1 mL), Citric acid, Eucalyptus Oil, Light Mineral Oil.
I have seen ear formulas from the 1850's – 1930's using diluted camphor and eucalyptus for ear pain. Mineral oil is a folk remedy as ear drops. Phenol is a anti-septic.
A common Mexican home remedy for ear-aches is to place camphor oil on a cottonball and to place it in the ear for 3 straight days. From the book Curandero Hispanic Ethno-Psychotherapy & Curanderismo: Treating Hispanic …By Antonio Noé Zavaleta Ph.D
Earex Eardrops (available in the UK) provides the complete solution to treating different ear wax problems. With its unique formulation containing three natural oils (arachis oil, almond oil and rectified camphor oil)
Here on EC Campho-Phenique is used to treat ear mites on rabbits: I have raised rabbits and dogs for over 30 years and have to deal with ear mites each summer. I have always used Campho Phenique to kill the mites and heal the ears. I even bought a rabbit once with ear mites so bad the entire ear was nothing but a red inflamed mass of scabs. I pour in a few drops of Campho Phenique and massage the base of the ear to get it in and repeat for 2 days on a really bad case and just once for a mild case. Try it, you will be amazed how well it works. Posted by Gayla (Odessa, TX)

This is advice from my Grandpa who is a former doctor. I don't think medical professionals would like this treatment. I have looked on the internet and was not able to find much information, although I didn't look very hard.
I was having a casual conversation with my gramps and mentioned my ears had been hurting. My ears felt really clogged/full and there was a constant dull pain. He told me he has had the same issues his whole life. He told me the cause was most likely water not draining properly from my ears, which is bad for the inner workings of the ear because they need a dry environment.
Here is what he told me to do.
1. Put cotton balls in the ear before taking a shower to prevent water from getting in there.
2. After showering and drying off completely, grab a q-tip and put a small amount of Campho-Phenique on the tip.
3. ***Use caution on this step. Do not put the q-tip far into the ear canal! I go about 1/8 of an inch in.*** Put the q-tip in the ear canal, but don't go far in. Now twirl the q-tip and apply the Campho-Phenique to the ear by gently touching the q-tip the surface of the ear canal.
4. Do the same thing to your other ear.
5. You're Done!
The Campho-Phenique is an over the counter medication for cold sores. It is a pain reliever and antiseptic gel. My Grandpa told me it helps with the pain, helps fight infections, and most importantly, it helps keep the ear dry. I was able to purchase it at wal-mart in the pharmacy section by the chapstick. I've been using this method for a week and have felt improvements in my ears. The feel less clogged, and I think I may be able to hear better. The pain has also subsided greatly. The first time I used it I could feel the pain go away almost instantly. It has a strange feeling to it... you apply it to the ears, but you taste the medication in your mouth. I'm satisfied with the results. If you can go to the doctor that would probably be your best option, but if your like me and uninsured you kind of have to figure it out yourself.

1 month agoIvermectin and Anti-Inflammatory Activity
1 month agoSome helpful information on Ivermectin from the NIH: Anti-inflammatory activity
The role of ivermectin as an anti-inflammatory agent has only recently been understood. This is an integral part of its use as an antihelminthic agent. Ivermectin is now known to play an immunomodulatory role that suppresses inflammatory responses in humans [48]. It inhibits liposaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine production [49]. Toll-like receptors on macrophages recognize LPS, which leads to sequential expression and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and integrin-β6 [48]. This is made possible by the ability of ivermectin to block the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of the activated B (NF-κB) pathway that modulates the expression and production of proinflammatory cytokines [49]. This prevents toll-like receptor 4 from initiating a cascade that leads to the production of proinflammatory cytokines. It is suggested that this mode of action explains why ivermectin may be helpful in intensive care unit settings with increased risks of LPS-mediated bacterial infections [50]. Ali et al. demonstrated that increased levels of IL-17 in rosacea led to the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNFα through the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B (NF-κB) pathway, which is again inhibited by ivermectin [51]. This prevents NF-kB from allowing IL-17 to produce proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNFα. In addition, ivermectin has been shown to inhibit signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3), which is responsible for upregulating proinflammatory markers in macrophages [50, 52]. The ability of ivermectin to modulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines plays a vital role in a wide range of pathological conditions.
Re: Borax
1 month agoGarlic for Tooth Abscess
1 month agoI found this page over a year ago. My dentist wanted me to have a root canal. I had an infection in a lower right molar and it caused my cheek to balloon. I used an antibiotic to bring down the swelling before I found this page.
I had success using garlic for swelling, but none of the comments I saw touted garlic as an alternative to a root canal. So, I decided to cancel the root canal and become patient N=1. I went to the dentist today and he x-rayed me and the infection is just about gone (it's been a year on the garlic). He's not leaning on me to get a root canal and says "we'll watch it". Tellingly, after the nurse looked at the x-ray before the dentist got involved, she asked me if I was taking antibiotics. When I replied "garlic" the conversation was over.
So I conclude garlic is an alternative treatment to a root canal. I used garlic topically (between cheek and jowl) to reduce swelling. It worked unbelievably well, but I did have a chemical burn on my cheek. Now I use elephant garlic for topical. I've started eating a salad almost every night (I eat once per day) with fresh garlic and Super-Gut yogurt for dressing.
Re: Knee Rehab After Meniscus Surgery
1 month agoKnee Rehab After Meniscus Surgery
1 month agoIn February, I had surgery on my knee to snip off the torn part of my meniscus. I am still doing rehab on my own, but the part behind my knee and halfway down my calf stays so tight and sore. Any suggestions to get it back to normal? I do stretches and fascia massage, keep moving as much as possible but, seriously, after 5 minutes in bed it's so sore and stiff I struggle to sleep. Heat/ice/massage/stretch - what else can I try? I realize it takes time, but this is very bothersome.
Hearing Loss After Cold
1 month agoA number of years ago, I had a cold, blew my nose too hard, and my right ear popped and has felt clogged ever since. I thought it would clear up on it's own, and I tried using various remedies but nothing has worked. A holistic doctor I saw said she through the Eustacian tube was clogged, but nothing she suggested to unclog it worked. Someone said that the virus I had with the cold embedded itself in my body and never went away. Does anyone have any suggestions for drops I could use to heal it? I've also heard that chiropractic adjustments can sometimes help. I would appreciate your help.
