I'm looking for a portable nebulizer that will be able to handle baking soda (and hydrogen peroxide, periodically), won't leak, and will last. I tried some medical equipment websites and the unsolicited advice was not to use it. Can you recommend the one you use?

1 month ago@Rob Hi! How's everything? Sadly, I still have that left leg blood clot. What bothers me is The lower leg is troubled by the lack of blood flow so there is stasis dermatitis. I Have avoided tasting the Cayenne directly. But from now on I will put it in the water For taking the Nattokinase. Taking the cayenne with it is reported to enhance its Healing power. If I can clear up the lower leg I will be satisfied even if the blood clot In my femoral vein remains. I am able to walk just fine. I have nixed the idea of Varathena Because there can be complications when a blood clot is involved It also would cost me $700.00 + because it is very expensive. I still have hopes of being healed of this clot Damage. And, Rob, thank you for all of your help! I will keep you informed!

1 month agoHi judithb,
You might consider using both Borax Lotion (BL) and Melatonin Lotion simultaneously as they will work together to help the knee joints and gradually relieve pain and stiffness in the knees. Here is how to make BL :

CKD Questions for Art
1 month agoHi again, Manuel,
In my previous reply, please change #3. from Stinging Nettle to Astaxanthin (AST) as AST is generally very well tolerated and more studied for the purpose as a kidney protectant. I'm thinking that the very good safety profile and more kidney related studies may make it a more desirable choice for your doctor over the less studied stinging nettle for kidney issues.

CKD Questions for Art
1 month agoHi Manuel,
The 160 is high, the 80 is normal, but the 160 is concerning and very concerning with stage 4 CKD. Your doctor should be working on trying to normalize that. You can ask your doctor about possibly using beet root powder capsules (BRPC) to try and further control that 160. BRPC has also shown potential benefit for CKD, so it seems worth having that discussion with your doctor. Given that longer term use of some blood pressure medications are known to cause kidney damage, your doctor may be more open to BRPC to improve your blood pressure. Here is a brief abstract mentioning beet root as possibly beneficial for CKD :
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34613396/#:~:text=Abstract, All rights reserved.
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Growing evidence indicates that diet is an indispensable ally in the prevention and management of CKD and its complications. In this context, the root vegetable beetroot (Beta vulgaris rubra) deserves special attention because it is a source of several bioactive compounds, such as nitrate, betaine, and betalain, and has shown beneficial effects in CKD, including reduction of blood pressure, anti-inflammatory effects, and antioxidant actions by scavenging radical oxidative species, as observed in preclinical studies. Beetroot consumption as a possible therapeutic strategy to improve the clinical treatment of patients with CKD and future directions for clinical studies are addressed in this narrative review. '
The BRPC could also lower the 80, but there is some play room there if it does go lower.
They were using sodium bicarbonate in the study I linked to, not magnesium.
What they are giving is a dose range, so apparently not everyone got the same dose and perhaps it was based on weight or some other measure. The dose they showed is 1.82 +/- .80 g per day. I take the g to be grams. So I read that as a dose range of 1020 mg - 2620 mg per day. This is a very wide dose range and that is why I say your doctor will have to determine the proper dose for you or possibly start you at the lowest dose and steadily increase the dose over a period of time while monitoring your blood pressure and kidney function regularly. The last option seems a safer way to go, but your doctor will have to make that determination. It may help for you to make a copy of that 2024 study to give to your doctor so he can be clear on the study parameters and findings. Here is a link to the full study :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11843131/
There is no way your doctor is going to consider or even review a list of 30 supplements to consider for your use, but on the other hand, your doctor may seriously consider the three I mentioned to you previously and all three should be beneficial toward your needs. Again those three are :
1. Blueberry Extract
2. Silymarin
3. Stinging Nettle
No matter what you decide, your doctor's approval and supervision along with regular testing are absolutely needed for everything you are taking or planning to take. Stage 4 CKD is a severe stage of kidney damage and I don't take that lightly.

1 month agoMy blood pressure is around 160/80 most of my living years
I am not a doctor obviously.... so can you tell me the milligrams of Magnesium corresponding to the dosage of 1.82 ± 0.80 g/d, you mention? ..I have no idea what that it is.Yes, as you say Miligrams of available Magnesium in the compount/supplemen
You, who different from the 90% of doctors, do RESEARCH, and in my opinion are far more capable of finding solutions..Never did I find a doctor who looked at Earh Clinic.. They smile and disegard when I mention it.
Can you post the 29 other supplements you have founwhich are positive for the kidney?
Many many thaks as usual, Manuel
Husband With Torn Back Muscle
1 month agoHi trichaj,
What can be helpful for muscle repair is melatonin lotion (ML) and oral magnesium glycinate. Both offer reparative effects and can be used at the same time. Here is how to make melatonin lotion :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
Here is a link to a typical magnesium glycinate product :
It will require 4 of the above capsules per day in order to reach the RDA for elemental magnesium for men as each capsule delivers 100 mg of elemental magnesium and the RDA for men is 400 mg for men ages 19 to 30 and 420 mg for men age 31 or over. The magnesium will also help to relax the muscles.
Both work together and may have synergy due to different methods of action. The following link discusses the reparative effects of melatonin on muscles :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10008686/
Here is a relevant quote from the link:
' Our data support the hypothesis that melatonin rapidly rescues skeletal muscle differentiation and the melatonin/Pax7 axis could therefore serve as an important therapeutic target to optimize muscle healing after injury. '
Here is a link discussing the positive effects of magnesium for muscle repair :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6723322/
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' We conclude that magnesium supplementation seems to exert a protective effect on muscle damage.'
You will need to get your husband's doctor's approval and supervision before using these two options to be sure they will be safe for him and compatible with all of the medications your husband is taking.
Assuming it is muscle damage, muscle repair takes time. He will likely still need his pain relievers for sometime while the magnesium and melatonin help to heal his muscles.

Husband With Torn Back Muscle
1 month agoMy husband inured his back 3 weeks ago, rested mostly and was getting better until last Friday. He pulled something when lifting a sign out of his truck bed. He became almost immobile an hour after. He rested for hours unable to move at all and I tried DMSO (I'm a beginner and don't think the dosage was high enough) by the evening we had to take him to the dreaded ER. He couldn't stand, when he got up from the bed the pain was so unbearable he started sweating and became nauseous. I had to call the paramedics.
They did nothing but give him pain killers. They wouldn't give him an MRI. They said he has a strain or possible tear on a lower lumbar muscle, not a slipped disc. He left with oxycodone. He denied the heavier fentanyl and morphine, maybe because he denied it they didn't think his back was that hurt.
Anyhow I have him on some herbs from acupuncturist friend, he's still has to take the oxycodone + Tylenol/Ibuprofen to his dismay. He will get off them as soon as he is able.
I have been rotating between arnica hemp pain cream and comfrey salve, and heat pad. He can get up and walk a little, and does laps around the house before back to resting.
I've never seen him in such pain. DMSO is out with the pain killers, which are just dulling the pain, but with it's being so significant it gives a little relief.
I'm wondering if Borax can improve the muscle repair??
Any thoughts on any other remedies?
Many thanks in advance.
Re: Depleted Thyroid For Decades
1 month agoHi Gloria, I am doing much better on natural thyroid (Armour USP). I am also doing intermittent fasting, have added a few drops of iodine, and will add bladderwrack to my diet. My sense is that I need less thyroid meds now. There are quite a few people on the webs who say that thyroid can be healed, contrary to what the docs say.
Re: Cerebellous Ataxia Remedies Needed
1 month agoThank you for saying so, Eugenia!
Just a quick thought about the EP, the ear crystal displacement referred to as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is very common in seniors as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6223343/
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' One third of elderly patients with vertigo were diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), the most common cause of dizziness in both primary care specialist Neurology and Ear Nose Throat settings. '
Also of importance is that the proper vitamin D level has been found to help prevent further occurrences of BPPV as discussed here :
Here is an important quote from the link :
' While earlier studies did not establish a link between low vitamin D levels and initial BPPV occurrence, they did associate recurrent episodes with low vitamin D levels. Recent research indicates that vitamin D supplementation in BPPV patients with deficiency or insufficiency decreases both the numbers of relapsing patients and relapses per patient. '
This is why, earlier, I mentioned the importance of having a high enough 25 OH d level.
Unfortunately many doctors do not use the EP and instead will sometimes refer the patient to physical therapy where they generally will use the EP, but the video link I sent you is definitely one of the better videos I have seen for self deployment of the EP at home and he speaks in a clear and understandable way. Given how common this issue is as a cause for vertigo, it seems like EP should just be the first option to eliminate at the beginning of any doctor visit for vertigo, IMO.
