1 month agoRe: CT Scan Questions
1 month agoHi John,
Ideally you would be taking melatonin for a few days before the CT and at least a week after the CT to help ameliorate the negative effects on the body. The effects of oral melatonin last approximately five hours, so taking melatonin two hours before the CT would be good. Two hours gives the melatonin time to get into the circulation. Although melatonin itself is done in about 5 hours in the body, its indirect effects are still active such as its upregulation of some of the bodies own potent antioxidants such as SOD, GPX, glutathione and catalase. This is the reason for taking melatonin days ahead of the CT, to help boosts the bodies antioxidant system which also offer protective effects.
If melatonin is unavailable where you are, another consideration for protective effects would be N Acetyl Cysteine (NAC).
NAC can offer some protective effects in regards to a CT scan as discussed here :
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' The use of NAC for the prevention of RCIN (radio contrast induced nephropathy) gained widespread interest after a study by Tepel and colleagues demonstrated that the incidence of RCIN after radiocontrast enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scanning was significantly reduced by oral NAC administration compared to placebo.3 '
Another consideration is R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA) which can also offer some protection against the radiotherapy.

Re: Gallbladder Flushes
1 month agoI used to do gallbladder flushes until I found out those "stones" are just coagulated oil. The way you can tell is to cut one of them crosswise. The real gallstones are green all throughout, whereas coagulated oil is green on the outside and whitish inside.
I am not saying that doing a flush is a bad idea. I have seen too many false claims about it.
Re: CT Scan Questions
1 month agoHi Art,
How much time before a scan should one ingest the melatonin?
Can one ingest it RIGHT before, like right before laying down into the scan machine or it should be ingested like 30 or 60 minutes before the scanning process?
What would be the best timing?
What if melatonin is not available?
Are there other things one could ingest before and right after a scan?

Rosemary Oil for Migraines/Brain Fog
1 month agoRosemary Oil Hair Spray for Headache/Migraine/Brain Fog
I have a strange story to tell. Early last week I developed a blistering headache/migraine after working on a sick person (if I had known they were sick, I wouldn't have gone near her). I had never experienced so much head pain before in my life and everyday to got worse. Even my hair hurt to touch it. I had to stop wearing my baseball cap it hurt so bad.
None of my usual tricks to heal myself were working. I had a brain storm and decided to go completely of the reservation. Rosemary oil!
I took a 2 oz. sprayer, filled it with 1 oz. warm water and 20 drops rosemary oil. Shook it til mixed and went to the shower. Ran hot water over my head for awhile, then sprayed my wet hair with the rosemary mixture. Moving my hair around so it makes contact with my scalp. I have short hair so 1 oz. did one treatment for me. Adjust formula according to your needs. After the spray bottle was empty and my hair was completely saturated including my scalp, forehead, around both ears and neck. I got out of the shower and left the mixture on my scalp to air dry and went to bed. Expect to have crazy dreams… I did.
When I woke up. The pain and brain fog I was experiencing had decreased by about 50%. So I decided to repeat the experiment again the following night. Again the head pain and fog decreased again.
Tonight is my 3rd night and again decreased.
What I noticed over the past few days is that rosemary oil does help a lot with headaches/migraines and brain fog. Also, my hair was really soft and thicker too.
Now, how did I come up with this?
The first records of rosemary's use as a medicinal herb date back to ancient times in the civilizations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. The herb was thought to have strong effects on memory and in strengthening the mind.
Rosemary has a tremendous variety of folk uses and mythology associated with it and a number of snippets from folk lore. It has particularly been strongly connected to memory and remembrance since ancient times. The main historical medicinal uses of Rosemary have been as a tonic to the brain and as a gently cleansing liver medicine.
Andrew Chevallier writes 'Rosemary is a well-known and greatly valued herb that is native to Southern Europe. It has been used since antiquity to improve and strengthen the memory. To this day it is burned in the homes of students in Greece who are about to take exams. Rosemary has a longstanding reputation as a tonic, invigorating herb, imparting a zest for life that is to some degree reflected in its distinctive aromatic taste'
Chinese physicians used Rosemary for headaches, indigestion, insomnia and malaria. Rosemary is also much used in European traditional medicine to strengthen the heart and blood vessels and there is a keen appreciation in this old culture of Rosemary being a herb that clears congestion in the liver and gall-bladder thereby lifting the mood and resolving 'liverishness'
Rudolph Weiss says 'Rosemary has a general tonic effect on the circulation and nervous system, especially the vascular nerves; it is therefore effective in treating all chronic circulatory debilities, including hypotension (low blood pressure). It is particularly effective in asthenic young adults who are pale and lack physical stamina...' Rosemary can be used for treatment of general and post-infectious debility in older patients'.
Thomas Bartram writes that Rosemary's actions include 'antibacterial, anti-depressant, antiseptic, circulatory tonic, diffusive stimulant, diuretic, sedative, mild substitute for benzodiazepine drugs. Used in European pharmacy to strengthen the heart and allay arteriosclerosis' and he suggests its uses can include 'migraine headaches, or those from high blood pressure. Headaches of gastric origin or emotional upset, psychogenic depression, cardiac debility, giddiness, hyperactivity, tremor of the limbs, flitting pains from joint to joint. To strengthen blood vessels by decreasing capillary fragility and permeability'
The medical properties may have been over-rated by old Parkinson the herbalist (John Parkinson 1567–1650), but some are recognised even to this day. Thus rosemary is used as an infusion to cure headaches, and is believed to be an extensive ingredient in hair-restorers. It is also one of the ingredients in the manufacture of Eau-de-Cologne, and has many other uses in the form of oil of rosemary. ‘The rosemary is for married men, the which by name, nature, and continued use, man challengeth as properly belonging to himself. It overtoppeth all the flowers in the garden boasting man's rule; it helpeth the brain, strengtheneth the memory, and is very medicinal for the head.
Rosemary worn about the body was believed to strengthen the memory and to add to the success of the wearer in anything he might undertake.
It is as an emblem of remembrance that rosemary is most frequently used by the old poets. Thus Ophelia:
‘There is rosemary for you, that's for remembrance; I pray you, love, remember.'
And in The Winter's Tale:
‘For you there's rosemary and rue; these keep Seeming and savour all the winter long; Grace and remembrance be with you both.'
In the 17th century, Nicholas Culpepper wrote in his herbal that rosemary helps “diseases of the head and brain, as the giddiness and swimmings therin, drowsiness or dulness, the dumb palsy, or loss of speech, the lethargy, the falling sickness… It helps a weak memory and quickens the senses.
Gallbladder Flush (2)
1 month agoGallbladder Flush Variation with Natural Calm
1 month agoGallbladder Flush Variation with Natural Calm
I was overdue for a gallbladder flush. I have been doing them regularly for 9 years. To me the worst part is drinking the Epsom salt water. It is so horrid. I decided to risk an alternative this go round. I took 1400 mg (4 scoops) of Natural Calm in 2/3 cup water in place of 1 Tablespoon of Epsom salt in 2/3 or 3/4 cups water. It 100% worked as well if not better than the Epsom salt. It is a different form of magnesium, but still has the strong laxative effect. I passed a lot of stones, in fact more than I passed in the last few flushes I have done. It has been at least a year since my last flush - I put it off for so long.
I also only used 1/3 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup grapefruit juice instead of 1/2 cup olive oil. I am an average sized female and this was enough to work very well.
I feel great now and won't dread the next flush quite so much.

Melatonin Lotion Question for Art
1 month agoHi Maryb,
I have not gotten feedback on melatonin lotion (ML) for "carotid stenosis" and in terms of studies there are no human studies yet, only animal studies. while melatonin has shown some benefit in animal studies it is unknown if melatonin will have similar effects in humans with carotid stenosis. Applying melatonin lotion to these areas may have an impact on the thyroid gland, which may or may not be desirable in this case. Here is a link to an animal study using melatonin for carotid arterial stenosis (CAS) :
Here is a relevant study quote from the animal study :
' In a study by Ding et al., the administration of melatonin (10 mg/kg/day, 9 weeks) significantly reduced the intraplaque hemorrhage and plaque rupture incidences in this mouse model with carotid artery plaque [29]. Moreover, mice treated with melatonin had significantly lower flow velocity in the stenotic section of the carotid artery, indicating that melatonin may reduce stenosis in the carotid artery in a plaque-prone context. In another study, only a high dose of melatonin (30 mg/kg/day, 8 weeks) showed a protective effect in mice with carotid artery plaque with reduced vulnerability [30]. However, despite the encouraging results from the above studies, whether melatonin could reverse the plaque formation in the carotid artery is unknown. In terms of molecular mechanism, melatonin administration significantly increased the level of prolyl-4-hydroxylase α1 and collagen in the carotid plaque, whereas the lipid level in the carotid plaque was reduced after the use of melatonin [30]. Additionally, melatonin regulated the macrophage's polarization and mitigated the inflammation in vulnerable carotid artery plaques via the melatonin-RORα-AMPKα-STAT pathway (Figure 1) [29].'
Carotid stenosis is a type of atherosclerosis or narrowing affecting the main arteries on both sides of the neck that carry blood to the brain, face and head.
Previously I wrote about the usefulness of nattokinase for high cholesterol and atherosclerosis here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/high-dose-nattokinase-for-atherosclerosis.html
I also wrote about the usefulness of Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract (GSPE) for atherosclerosis here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/grape-seed-extract-atherosclerosis.html
Considering that atherosclerosis can affect multiple areas of the body simultaneously, going after atherosclerosis in general may be an option worth considering and discussing with your doctor. These are just two potential remedies and there are others on Earth Clinic that are also worth considering. Keep in mind that the atherosclerosis effects of nattokinase in the human study took place over a year at high dose.

1 month agoArt's Remedy for DDD, Melatonin Question
1 month agoHi Katydid,
Oral melatonin will not offer pain relief at practical dosing levels, but the Stopain roll on will until your Hyaluronic Acid (HA) arrives. The Stopain roll on that I mentioned in the article to be used with the HA is available at Walmart, Amazon, CVS, etc. The Stopain will help with pain relief until the HA starts to work.
Melatonin Lotion will offer pain relief, but the Stopain roll on is initially stronger and works well with the HA.

Art's Remedy for DDD, Melatonin Question
1 month agoHi all!
Art had mentioned towards the bottom of his remedy for degenerative disc disease, that the fellow he was treating was also taking melatonin at a "high dose", and that it should also help for DDD. But I don't see anyone in the comments section that has tried that either alone or in conjunction with Art's remedy.
I did attempt to look up what a dosage for people with DDD might be, but had no luck. Does Art or anyone else have any suggestions as to what dose I could try? The back pain is now unbearable and I have melatonin here at home. I'd like to not wait for my order of HA to come in, so for now I'm taking a normal dose of the melatonin but it's not doing a darn thing for the pain. (Not surprised there, neither did the various western drugs the doctors have thrown at this so far.) Thank you to any suggestions anyone has on dosage or use with HA.
Re: Trouble Gaining Weight
1 month agoHey Bob I had a problem with gaining weight. I read about resetting your metabolism by using the candida diet. I did it for a month and it worked wonders. My understanding is it works for both weight loss and weight gain issues.
I used Ezekiel bread for toast in the morning with only fresh pineapple or strawberries. Lunch toast and raw veggies mostly carrots broccoli and celery, and had a salad for dinner.I only drank water.
It did the trick I went from 112 to 125 in a few months. Hope this helps.
Tissue & Bone Ointment For Nerve Issues
1 month agoYou know when I say that if the body wake you up in the middle of the night to pee or get a glass of water or something and one can often feel, at that time, that one is coming down with something and that I go back to bed yo let the body button things up and wake me naturally? This seems to be very important with Dr. Christopher's Nerve drops. I was awakened to pee, my arms nor my legs were barely functioning, my head was all over the place and super foggy and I was nauseated. I wasn't even sure I could make it back to bed but I did and plopped down right on top of the bedclothes and was out like a light. When awakened naturally, about 3 hours later, I felt like a million bucks! EVERYthing worked better and, although I didn't notice it, specifically, at the time, I think that was also the end of the neuropathy in my legs and fingers! I can't really tell with my fingers as I burnt the two that were turning numb so I'll have to wait and see what sort of shape they're in when the numbness from that clears up.
Anyway, be prepared! We ARE talking about reconnecting the brain to motor function so that might get kinda wacky and you want to make sure you have something sturdy to hang onto between the bed and the bathroom - you may need it!!
Re: General Health Statement
1 month agoNo, I am sorry but science does not support your assertions.
First and foremost...covid has never proven to be more than the cold/flu. Second there is a doctor in the US that had studied over 500 people with long covid and it is not long covid, but long vax. All were vaccinated. It is long term vaccine damage.
Second...many scientific publications/studies have proven that genetics only play a minor role in your health. It is environment and lifestyle that turns those genes (if you have the genetic marker) on/off.
Take your time to research and understand that the whole 'your genetically predisposed to get a/b/c etc', is just a cop out.
You may have the gene for heart disease. But as you will see in the links below, what YOU DO, decides whether or not you will get a/b/c.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4841510/
https://www.livescience.com/health/genetics/genes
The cleveland clinic also did a study on cancer using genetic markers and found less than 3.4 percent of people who have a genetic marker for colon cancer, developed colon cancer. If these individuals ate poor food/fast food/junk food, then they could activate the marker gene. But eating good food and exercising maintained gene suppression.
The blind belief that you will get what your parents/grandparents/great grand parents had, is just malarky.
Your health depends on you, not your family! Eat well and exercise, you will live long and healthy. Eat bad and sit on a couch all day, and yes expect to get ill. Humans are not made to lead a sedentary lifestyle.
