2 months agoActivated Charcoal for Bee Sting
2 months agoI am highly allergic to insect, bee and spider bites. In ER mid 20's after black widow spider bite and treated with epi. A week ago I was stung by a bee on an elbow and immediately made a charcoal poltice on gauze and wrapped with ace bandage. 2 hours later the redness and pain with swelling went down drastically. Replaced the bandage before bed and the next morning it was red, raised and swollen again to size of silver dollar because the bandage had moved off the elbow during the night. Replaced with a new bandage with 4 capsules mixed with water, and within 3 hours the swelling and pain was just minimal, the size of a quarter. 2nd night the polstice bandage stayed on and when I woke it was dime sized and no pain. Amazing how it worked so quickly!
Best Remedy for Hidradenitis Suppurativa?
2 months agoI am having a hard time figuring out the best remedy for my condition. I have Hidradenitis suppurativa. I have read the remedies of HS. It started out as under the armpits. I now also have bad rashes with bumps that occasionally drain or leak in the folds of my upper thigh pelvis area…on both sides…..discoloration also. There are a couple spots in those areas that are painful/burn. I also have boils popping up on the folds of my buttocks. I am currently taking Tumeric powder/milk 3 times daily. I have just started the castor oil for the rashes but I'm not sure if that is the right remedy as I'm wondering if it is trapping the moisture in when I cover it with gauze because I'm getting white heads on the bumps. I have tried lining a maxi pad to my underwear to fit in the folds to help with any spreading or leaking. I have been using tee tree oil (diluted) to put on my boils. I want to try castor oil on the boils but I don't know how to cover them to keep them from staining my clothes. Please help!! I do not trust doctors or the pharmaceutical industry. I have had no fevers, nausea etc. Also, I am disabled and not able to stand or walk very long so I sit a lot! Am I using the right remedies and not waiting long enough? Do I try hydrogen peroxide? Apple cider vinegar? Any advice would be helpful!
Lavender Oil for Burns
2 months agoI have been using Lavender oil on any minor burns that I have had, and it is great!
First I usually run the burned area under water for 15-20 mins (or less if the burn doesnt seem to need it) - I'm not sure if this step is necessary but this is what I have done.
Then I apply some drops of Lavender oil to cover the burn.
I'll keep applying lavender oil when I feel the need to (eg if I feel the pain). Usually a couple of applications and that's all it needs.
It seems amazing at reducing the pain.

2 months agoVery interesting, Gerrit!
Type O does seem to have the edge in some respects in terms of reduced cardiovascular and thrombotic issues and consequently an edge in longevity. Unfortunately we don't get to choose our blood type!

2 months agoHello Marsh,
Severe, chronic Thiamine/B1 deficiency has become quite a real & surprising medical issue in the US and it causes GASTROPARESIS. Many Gastroenterologists now include B1 Testing because it is prevalent. Dr Peter Osbourne, speaks a lot about this deficiency and offers accurate nutritional testing as do some other physicians. Make sure they are covering this base since there can be so many other causes under the radar like pinworms/parasite, Long-Cov, diet/fiber/hydration, etc..... Hope your child recovers soon. Will probably need to see a 'holistic' practitioner. Sherri

2 months agoYes Art for years, decades I have been eating a cording to
"Eat right 4 your type" and must of done well by it, in short type O system is very acidic and needs very vigorous exercise.
If you are type A your system lacks acid and you should be a vegetarian and meditate to deal with stress I will leave type B and AB alone as anyone interested can look it up them selfs.
I feel very strongly about it and if I had my way it should be taught or known in GRADE school because you may fall in love and and marry that person and us say you are an O and marry an A You end up with someone who rather sits on his/her fanny than go for a WALK .Not a good thing in marriage and you can eat the same food etc. And if you are as old as I'm you can see it in your own family and I have seen many times in church a Type AB seems to die much sooner which causes greave for the one left behind.Thanks for lisening

2 months agoMelatonin for Constipation
2 months agoSmall amounts of melatonin daily may help the gut and help lessen constipation. (Small amounts, such as under 3 mg daily for some people and under 8 mg daily for others. But large amounts, such as over 10 mg, may increase constipation.) Some clinical trials using 3 mg to 8 mg daily found improvements in bowel regularity and bloating for IBS-C patients.
Some people find a liquid form (melatonin mixed with vegetabe glycerin) helpful, and also easier for testing dosages.

2 months agoDear Marsh,
https://ubiehealth.com/doctors-note/gut-peristalsis-stalls-medically-approved-steps-3723e4
Here is a great list of causes of slow to no peristalsis. If they find no blockage look at something she has been taking, meds or other. If no blockages.Electrical stimulation with Acupuncture may be your best option to reestablish Gut/Brain connection.
For sluggish to no peristalsis, acupuncture can be effective, particularly using points like ST25 (Tianshu), which is known to help restore intestinal movement. Other useful points include ST36, SJ6, and LI4, which can also promote bowel function and relieve constipation symptoms.
Re: Gastroparesis
2 months agoHi Marsh,
Since they tried 5 enemas and those didn't work, they now need to do a thorough abdominal examination looking for distention, tenderness, rigidity, masses and bowel sounds. A digital rectal exam would also be useful to see if there is a stool buildup or impaction at or near the rectum that they can manually dislodge.
They will have to rule out whether there is a structural bowel obstruction. They will have to go through her medications to determine if any of them might be causing or contributing to her severe constipation.
Once 5 enemas failed to get things moving, the hospital should have looked further for potential causes and a reassessment of her situation should be done. If there is a structural blockage, surgery may be considered.
This is no longer a situation where supplements are a consideration any more.

Re: Vaginal Atrophy
2 months agoUpdate:
I have since had my hormones tested and was low on estrogen, progesterone, testosterone & DHEA. I've been using Estriolle & Progestelle (womhoo.com) with success in helping to eliminate the pain from this condition. Still have some healing to do, but wanted to share that this has been helping me. I have read that it will take months to heal. I still use the Boswellia & heating pad when needed. Hope this helps!

Acid Reflux and Painkillers
2 months agoDoes the Zinc Carnosine treat the injured/damaged esophagus (which also causes reflux) or does the ZC treat the acid reflux? I have esophagitus-meaning I have erosion or mucosal erosion. Would love to know because I need to clear mine up before it turns to cancer.
