Trachea Collapse in Dogs - New Page Created
1 month agoHello everyone, I'm writing this post hoping it will help dog owners who are dealing with this terrible condition with their pets. My sister's dog who's 13, came down suddenly with this sickness. It was devastating to see his suffering. The constant coughing was heartbreaking.
After a lot of trial and error, here are the supplements/ food that helped him tremendously.
Ancestral trachea beef supplement (amazon), organic canned pumpkin (2 tablespoons daily), Curly Parsley (1 teaspoon daily). Ground eggshell (half teaspoon daily), No kibble. This makes the condition worse. Steamed chicken or beef with veggies is what they have to eat. And lastly, do not crate them, they need to walk around freely because it prevents the anxiety which is a side effect of this condition due to insufficient oxygen because of the collapsed trachea. If you have to crate them, make sure there's a doggie door so they can come out if they want to.
Side note, since implementing the above, my sister's dog is almost normal again with barely any coughing. Not saying this would work for every dog but it's what worked for us and I wanted to share even if it helps just one dog.
Turmeric/Zinc Oxide/Aloe Vera Combination for Hemorrhoids
1 month agoHello All. 40 Years of dealing with H's and just figured this out. Good luck to you all and I hope you are as happy as I am with the results. It's easy and no scary pills or painful applications. Just plain relief.
This worked to reduce my H's to almost negligible - in less than a week. I have struggled for years and tried most of the recommendations on this website, not to mention prescription meds and over the counter Prep H which does absolutely nothing.
Here are the items needed to fix your hemorrhoids in short order:
Cotton round/oval - in the make up section of the store
Aloe Vera Juice - the Pure liquid kind for drinking (kept in the refrigerator)
Zinc Oxide - baby diaper rash cream 40% Zinc Oxide
Turmeric powder - I ordered in bulk online and keep this in my medicine cabinet.
Directions:
Wet the cotton round with aloe vera and lay aside, squeeze a dab of zinc oxide paste on the wet cotton, sprinkle Turmeric power on top of that. Hold that on your tender area for 30 seconds or so. That's all. It is very soothing immediately. You are good to go and enjoy your day.
I used this twice daily for about a week and my years long H's have shrunk to very very minimal. Turmeric stains clothing - no big deal. Wash and keep in a special place for the next time you may need this treatment.
Best wishes.

1 month agoThank you! I'm reluctant to stop for that long only because when I've done the 5 days on / 2 days off, it's like I'd never used it before and all progress was lost. My arthritis pain is also severe (I call it ice pick pain). I'm so happy that you found a solution for yours. I do tolerate boron supplements very well, though, so if the borax doesn't eventually work (will give it another month or so), perhaps I'll go back to the boron. I remember how my brain fog totally disappeared while using boron but that's not happened with the borax. Thank you again, Art. Sorry for asking so many questions but I trust your judgment and expertise.
Re: Seeking Advice for UVB Light Treatment
1 month agoHi Amelie -
Around 10 years ago, I heard about a Vitamin D3 home testing kit on Dr. Mercola's website.
I ordered it from Grassroots Health Nutrient Research Institute.
https://www.grassrootshealth.net/project/projects
Turns out, I was seriously low in Vitamin D3.
Even after taking a large amount of high-quality Vitamin D3 (with K2), my levels were sub-normal.
So, I bought a Sperti Vitamin D Sunlamp and my Vitamin D3 level became optimal.
https://www.sperti.com/sperti-vitamin-d-sunlamp/?zCountry=CA
I used it a few minutes in the morning – that's all that is recommended.
At that time, I tested every three months using the home testing kit (I don't do that any more).
I've had my D3 lamp for about 9 years now. It is expensive but worth it for me since supplements weren't raising my levels sufficiently.
Check to see if your health insurance will cover it. Sperti tells you how to submit the codes to your agency.
https://www.sperti.com/vitamin-d-lamp-insurance-coverage/?zCountry=CA
It worked for me but perhaps others don't get as much benefit.
It's a serious outlay of money so I hope other commenters will have some economical ideas.
Good luck.
Re: DE for Receding Gums
1 month agoRe: Measles Remedies, Anyone?
1 month agoRemedies for prevention or for treatment? The only prevention remedy is a vaccination or winning a genetic lottery (some don't get HIV even after being exposed). As for the treatments, just let it run its course, don't interfere, use homeopathic remedies to soothe symptoms and speedup a recovery.
Best is the enemy of good.

Re: Seeking Advice for UVB Light Treatment
1 month agoStart with reading this article. Red light therapy must be as safe as possible, for all devices emit harmful man made EMF. https://www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/low-emf-red-light-therapy-panels/
The best brands make full and mini panels. I have both. Don't save on the quality of a panel. Everyone can afford to spend $300-400. They have monthly payments plans. It will come with instructions how to use it.
Now about expectations. Don't expect fast and dramatic improvements. It is like brushing your teeth. If you don't brush you'll get cavities. If your body doesn't get daily sun exposure it'd start breaking down. Not overnight, not tomorrow, but gradually. It took 7 years of living on the 61st parallel north before my body started treating summer sunlight as an invader, or an enemy. It only took one winter season, 7-9 months, of 2-3 times a week light exposure at a tanning booth for severe summer sun “allergy” to disappear. Consistency is a must. It was not a sunlight rash, it was an autoimmune reaction with no rash, but mind boggling itching that lasted weeks and was not relieved by antihistamines.
Everyone living above 37 parallel north is not getting enough sun exposure even during summer months. Unless your ancestors and you are traditionally living in the Arctic region - then you have different mechanisms that compensate for the absence of sunlight.
Sun is the best. Walking on a beach daily during sunrise or sunset is perfect.
The worst living environment is a flat in a high rise building in a large city.
I don't know much about aquarium light. You need full body exposure. I bet it is NIR lamp. You need red light for the daily exposure. NIR light is healing but one needs to know how and when to use it.
Lastly, check your house and office for dirty electricity. The meter and mitigating devices are affordable. Since invention of electricity people are being exposed to it and have no clue. Some say many modern day illnesses, neurological, autoimmune, autonomic, cardiovascular, cancers have sky rocketed after electricity made its way in our lives. It is easy to fix but not many electricians even aware of it
Coconut Oil and Baking Soda for Skin Spots
1 month agoCoconut Oil and Baking Soda for Skin Spots
I'm not 100% certain this was skin cancer as I never had the skin spots tested; however, I was treating it like it was.
I have had (2) spots on the side of my nose for about (2) years. Over the last few months they changed color from pink, to red, to bright red and they changed size from about dime size to about quarter size.
After reading Earth Clinic posts on cancer, I created a coconut oil and baking soda mixture and began applying it liberally.
After about a week, I thought the size of the spots had decreased some. After (2) weeks, I was SURE the size of the spots had decreased some.
March 30,2025, marks about 7 weeks since I started my regime. The color of the spots is now very, very pale pink. The size has decreased to LESS THAN the size of a dime.
My mixture is equal parts of Coconut Oil and Baking Soda. So, for (1) tablespoon of Coconut Oil, I use (1) tablespoon of Baking Soda. I soften the Coconut Oil enough to easily mix in the Baking Soda.
Any Coconut Oil will do; however, I get LouAna brand from Walmart because it doesn't have any coconut smell.
I applied liberally and frequently the first several weeks (maybe every 2-3 hours). I found out that the more often I applied the mixture, the quicker I saw results. Now I apply at least (3) times a day.
I will continue my regime until the color is totally back to natural skin color.
If you try this, I would like to hear your results.
Thank you God and thank you Earth Clinic.
Questions for Art
1 month agoHi Betsy,
I have not run into a worsening of joint pain with the use of borax, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Stop using it for two weeks and see if the extra pain reverses. If it turns out you can't tolerate borax, you can also try boron. Some people don't tolerate borax, but can tolerate boron based supplements.
Some people have reported a Herxheimer reaction to borax, but I did not experience that reaction, even though my PA was severe.

1 month agoSeeking advice for UVB light treatment
I am seeking suggestions and advice for beginning a UVB light treatment routine. What devices have worked for you? I have a schedule that makes it impossible to get enough sunlight, and I instinctively know that it is a contributing factor in my health issues. Would a pet/reptile lightbulb be a good way to start? Any advice regarding this topic greatly appreciated, as well as suggestions for currently available devices. Thank you!
High-Dose Iodine for Aspergillosis
1 month agoIn 2014 I was diagnosed with aspergillosis (aspergillus mold infection) in my lungs and endometrial cancer at the same time. Each diagnosis gave me 5 years to live. I had a hysterectomy (I was living in India at the time) but decided not to do chemo and that the aflatoxin byproduct of aspergillus mold was what gave me the cancer (VERY carcinogenic) and so getting the mold out of my lungs was the top priority. To do this I decided to take 300 mg of Lugol's iodine (not mcg) in a tablet form per day (Iodoral 50mg, 6 per day, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach) figuring I would rather die of iodine overdose than not being able to breathe. I had my thyroid checked before and every 3 months. It took only one month to get rid of my asthma, and then slowly I began to cough out the gunk in my lungs.
After 3 years on high dose iodine my aspergillus IgG was down to normal (it had been off the charts along with IgM), my lungs were clear, a lot of my skin problems had cleared up, my cancer had not returned without any further treatment. I am now going on 10 years clear of both cancer and Aspergillosis. I now only take 100-200 mg of Iodoral or LugoTabs whenever I feel I have been exposed to sickness or feel like I am coming down with something and it goes away. My hair, which was beginning to turn gray in 2014 returned to my normal color and still is--- I will be turning 70 in 2025. I don't have many wrinkles either. My thyroid did not change during the treatment. For me this was the miracle treatment. Today I would also add in high dose Vitamin C (not taken at the same time as the iodine) D3/Mk7 and magnesium.
Re: Measles Remedies, Anyone?
1 month agoHi Mama to Many,
I think of it like any other 'cold', and would add raw garlic to your list. Of course apple cider vinegar. When I was exposed to the Norovirus and got sick I did garlic shots with ev olive oil and fresh lemon and went to sleep. Norovirus is a digestive virus I think and it hit it right on. Rest is so important.
Re: 5-Ingredient Heart Tonic
1 month agoVitamin D3 for Depression
1 month agoVitamin D3
I was feeling down this past winter but after a while realized maybe it was depression. I felt bleak, hopeless, almost grieving. I felt like the future was empty. It was an ugly feeling. Then I began to suspect maybe it was physical / nutritional because I have a great marriage to a man I love who treats me like gold, I have two healthy children and I have a good life with many hobbies and interests. I take good care of my health, eat nutritious organic food - much of it we grow ourselves, and I make time for gratitude every day, but I was STILL DOWN IN THE DUMPS. I realized I might have low vitamin D as it was winter here in the Northeast (Pennsylvania). I started taking D3 (with Vitamin K2 and Magnesium with Calcium for absorption etc) and within a day or two was feeling better. I kept feeling better and better every day and I NEVER FELT DOWN AGAIN. That awful CLOUD OVER MY HEAD disappeared and thank God it didn't come back! Boom! Just like that. I took 3000 IU per day, and now am down to 2,000. In summer I don't need it. I don't wear sunscreen, my skin is olive and doesn't burn. Anyway, it made me wonder how many poor souls out there are suffering needlessly due to low D. Just wanted to share my experience.
