Re: Iodine for Cavities
3 days agoI found a really great video showing the painting of teeth with iodine to prevent cavities. The dental tech is painting with povidone iodine 10%. However, I use Lugol's 2% myself. I've tried both methods and the lugol's make my teeth feel smoother after using it then does the povidone. Plus the lugol's 2% has 3x's more available iodine than does the povidone which is around .5%. Choice is yours.

3 days agoRe: Borax Treatment for Trigger Finger Not Yet Working
3 days agoHello,
In my case it was a chronic potassium deficiency and one of the most common and classic symptoms of K deficiency is "claw-like" hand spasms/cramps or toe or feet spasms which can take a long time to release.
Potassium is responsible for the "relaxation" stage of muscle function. K controls the electrical signals to your muscles, so if you are low your hands become tight and cramp. Using the hands for too long or in odd ways can trigger the cramp and K will relieve it.
Also, waking up with "puffy eyes" or edema in the face is another common sign of K deficiency since K helps the kidneys flush excess fluid from the body.
Other deficiency signs: waking up often at night to urinate, fainting/dizziness, muscle weakness, high blood pressure, hearing your "pulse", craving salty foods, constipation, tiredness after eating, loud stomach growling, and even diabetes since K is essential for reducing insulin resistance and control blood sugar levels.
Minimum RDA level: 4,700 mg/day. We actually need a lot of daily potassium.
Need 10,000 units of D3/day to help kidneys store and retain K. And, K works with other minerals like Magnesium and Sodium so make sure you are getting a balanced intake.
Easy way to take Potassium/K: add 1/2 tsp Potassium Citrate powder in glass water or smoothie - this will add 1000 mg of K.
Estimated 98% of people in western countries are deficient mainly because they do not eat enough leafy greens, a lack of vitamin D or they take meds that deplete K.
I took 4 capsules of K Citrate (100 mg/capsule), 3x/day (1,200 mg/day), for months and all the symptoms cleared. I still take a daily maintenance dose of 3 capsules (300 mg) because if I don't the "hand-claw spasms" return. I somehow developed a potassium deficiency during the COVID pandemic.
I hope you clear your symptoms soon. Sherri

4 days agoHi Georg, Wonder if I can ask how you are doing now? I've had a scan revealing gall stones too, and would like to know how much ACV to take as well. Hope you are no longer bothered by these wee beasties. I've read radishes or radish juice dissolve them as well (Maria Treben) so I'm scarfing those down.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) May Be Related To Insufficient Vitamin B1 Level
4 days agoThis relatively new study (December 2025) suggests that lower levels of vitamin B1 may result in Erectile Dysfunction or ED and increased B1 intake from food or low dose supplement helps ameliorate this problem as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12772565/
Here are some relevant quotes from the study :
' Greater dietary thiamin intake demonstrated a statistically significant association with reduced incidence of ED. Our findings suggest that a lower intake of thiamin is an independent risk factor with ED. We can consider increasing the intake of thiamine in daily food. '
' We discovered associations between thiamin and several systemic diseases, all of which are also linked to ED. Therefore, we proceeded to further investigate whether variations in thiamin levels might trigger ED. We observed that an increase in thiamin intake levels did not show a significant trend of elevated testosterone levels. However, what we did find was that as thiamin intake levels increased, there was a reduction in the incidence of ED (table 2). Therefore, we proceeded to further stratify our analysis based on the severity of ED to examine the variations in the expression of these corresponding parameters. A key observation we made is that as the severity of ED increases, there is a corresponding decrease in the intake levels of thiamin. Furthermore, similar to the previous findings, as the severity of ED increases, there is a trend of decreasing levels of education and income, accompanied by a worsening of systemic metabolic disorders such as hypertension and diabetes (table 3). '
I found this third study quote to be very interesting as it suggests that low B1 levels is also associated with many other health issues suggesting that making sure you maintain healthful levels of B1 may go a long way toward fending off many health issues :
' We found that higher food thiamin intake was significantly associated with lower incidence of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and ED (all p trend 1.3 μg were 0.782 (0.651 to 0.940) (p<0.05). These findings suggest that dietary thiamin intake may play a protective role in the development of ED and other cardiometabolic disorders. Increasing thiamin consumption through dietary modification or supplementation could represent a potential strategy for ED prevention and management. '
To reach healthful levels of B1, the study suggests that even the lowest dose B1 supplements should be adequate to achieve the effects they saw in the study.

5 days agoRe: Activated Charcoal is an Amazing Help for Boy with Ulcerative Colitis
5 days agoDear Walt,
This post is ten years old and you may not hear back from the original poster, so I thought I would chime in. My family has used activated charcoal for decades. My favorite brands are Now, or Charcoal House. If you are using capsules, try 2-4 capsules 2-4 times a day. You will have to play with the dose to figure out what is best for you. Some people are fine with just a capsule a couple of times a day. When I have a severe gut issue, I will take 4 capsules every few hours.
You can also buy charcoal powder and take 1 teaspoon in water one to four time a day as an alternative to capsules.
Charcoal should be taken 2 hours apart from medications lest it reduce their effectiveness.

Re: Osage Orange for Breast Cancer
6 days agoIt's listed under "ailments" and then "cancer". On the side you scroll down to "Osage orange" and a poster named Rick McKean (Carlsbad, NM) wrote on how to process it. It's a very involved process. You can buy them on Amazon but the sellers will send some on the edge of spoiling or it happens in the S&H.

6 days agoI also wanted to add another possible route to go for your dog. There's a post here under Latest Posts (ie for humans), where a Stage 4 patient used molasses & baking soda together to cure his brain cancer (Gioblastoma (sp?); the same disease that Michael Bolton is fighting. Apparently the molasses gets the cancer cells to open up to drink it in (cancer LOVES sugar), where the baking soda also enters the cell and kills it. Sounds awesome and worth a try.
Re: Hemangiosarcoma in Dog - Remedies Urgently Needed
6 days agoI must agree! Had a friend who used Ivermectin & Fenbendazole together and didn't need her planned radiation or chemo treatments. They (Dr's) couldn't find the cancer mass in her breast anymore. I do not remember the amounts she used, but she did not tread lightly in anything so it was likely the max dose. Amazing.
Best of health to your doggy. Don't forget the power of prayers either! I have prayed for your dog just now.
