2 days agoChia Seeds for Anxiety
2 days agoI agree - Chia totally helps me with anxiety and insomnia, also. I can feel the stress, worry, anxiety, etc. just leaving my body when I take them. It's important to add that you need to soak the chia seeds for at least 2 hours in a glass of filtered room temperature or preferably warm water before eating them - after 2 hours of soaking, they should be refrigerated. Ideally, they should be soaked overnight. There are plenty of videos about the importance of soaking chia seeds on YouTube. Soaking helps the seeds to expand first before ingesting them, making them easier to digest.
Borax for Dog's Arthritis Worked Really Well
2 days agoI had a Giant Schnauzer diagnosed with Chronic Arthritis when he was about 7 years old. I was told he would have to take Petcam for the rest of his life. I looked it up and it had too many side effects apart from being sooo expensive. I heard about Borax here on Earth clinic - I tried a tiny pinch in his food and after a few weeks, he was getting up without wincing, jumping into the car again, running around like a puppy. He spent the next 5 years in perfect and energetic health and lived longer than most Schnauzers do. Just a pinch of Borax, that's it.

Decay is the most common precursor and cause of this pain. When a tooth is hollow, it may be stopped: A few drops of any of the following may be applied on a small roll of lint- Creosote, chloroform, laudanum, spirits of camphor, oil of thyme, or cajeput, cinnamon, cloves, or rosemary.
Vegetarian Diet and Herbs For Adult-Onset Diabetes
2 days agoVegetarian Diet and Herbs For Adult-Onset Diabetes
Poor diet is generally a major cause of adult-onset diabetes.
3. Diet (long-term)
· Excessive sugar and high-glycemic-index foods (Ch. 8)—white bread, rice, pasta, watermelon, cream of wheat, instant oatmeal, corn flakes, pancakes, processed snacks (doughnuts, chips, crackers, cookies)—cause or worsen
· Excessive saturated fat and cholesterol can accumulate as visceral fat around abdominal organs ⇨ insulin resistance ⇨ muscle, fat, and liver cells stop responding properly to insulin. As a result, these cells fail to absorb sugar from the bloodstream for energy.
· Coffee raises blood sugar
Treatment: foods that help stabilize blood sugar
Beans: rich in soluble fiber and resistant starch: slow digestion and sugar absorption, significantly reducing post-meal blood sugar surges
Nuts, seeds: rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber reduces absorption rate of carbohydrates, improves insulin sensitivity.
Vegetables (cooked): carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, hard squash, parsnips broccoli, spinach (high fiber) paired with the above proteins and fats ⇨ healthy blood sugar
Whole fruits (high fiber)—berries, apples, citrus—mild-to-moderate effect on blood sugar. However, eating large portions, dried fruits, or drinking fruit juice (without fiber) ⇨ blood sugar spike. Pairing fruit with a protein or fat (nuts) helps balance the response.
Hot spices improve metabolism, insulin sensitivity
Gymena sylvestre, aloe vera, turmeric and goldenseal help manage blood sugar
Case history #28. My 72-year-old friend was diagnosed with diabetes in his 40s and needed started taking needed insulin. For the last 20 years, he has managed his blood sugar without insulin, using only diet and herbs.

Re: Joint Pains From Diatomaceous Earth
2 days agoMaybe a heaping teaspoon is too much for some people. Just 1/2 teaspoon the first time I took it caused a pretty good clean out on that same day. I too am quite healthy and not trying to correct any issue. I had no nausea, no tummy upset or cramping at all, just a cleanse. I'll wait a day and do another 1/2 teaspoon...I'm sure you can overdo a good thing!
Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation Side Effect Detox Symptoms?
2 days ago
Hello, I have been surprised and amazed by all of your stories of great health. I began inhaling a1% dilution of fghp several times before noon, (gave me so much energy I couldn't get to sleep) put a splash in the bath water and some in my bodywash- Immediately I started feeling terribly congested but I believed that was all the gunk coming out. By week four of using a 4% spray, I had a yeast, eye infection and fatigue that just wouldn't quit, so now I have given it all a break for a week and can you believe everything has cleared up, including my energy? I'd love to keep going to improve my back/neck pain, boost the thyroid, lift depression and hopefully support weight loss, but what do y'all think?
Re: Sciatica And Relief With An Ice Pack
2 days agoI absolutely agree about using ice. I have had several sciatic flareups and using ice has made a huge difference and faster recovery. For me, I also use a sciatic belt whenever I go outside to chop wood, haul gravel, dirt, chips, mow, weedeat, etc. It helps a lot to keep it away. I only use it when I am doing physical labor.
Re: Home Grown Veggies Loaded in Vitamin K
3 days agoHi Robert Henry,
Did you know those daikon radishes you are using to break through the clay layer make incredible pickles? They are also great starter for any kinda pickles you would ever want to make, including beet pickles, kim chi, whatever?
They and other radishes are a strong source of lactobacillus that makes the whole lactofermenting (pickling) process run. Those plus salt and water and any vegetable and you are good to go.
Thanks for your post on H202 in the rainwater, too, that was way helpful.

Re: Oatstraw Tea - Reply to Mama to Many
3 days agoHi Mama to Many --
I appreciated your naming nettle in your reply -- both oatstraw and nettle are rich in silica, and do some of the same things. Oats have it, too, and are considered the best dietary source.
The reason our friend's oat planting attempts failed is that hulled oats are stabilized, even organic ones. I am not sure if that is a nitrogen process or what, but they won't germinate.
Are you still around and raising goats? I'd like to invite you to my healing with food community. Your posts here are all great and we'd love to have you. My own deal is that I spent nearly 40 years healing from childhood illness with food.
Thanks for doing what you do

Ps. Azure Standard has great oatstraw, reasonably priced, but it takes a lot to make tea. They also have great organic oats at low cost.
Sciatica And Relief With An Ice Pack
3 days agoA friend recently told me that he had recently had a very painful sciatica flare up and asked me if I could suggest something for him to try as the pain and stiffness was hard to deal with. He asked if I could keep it simple, so I suggested he try icing his lower back and upper butt area twice a day, morning and evening, for three days in a row. I suggested he use a softer type of ice pack so it would contour to the area where he was applying it and make good contact to more efficiently remove the inflammation. I also told him to use a thicker towel between him and the ice pack to protect himself from any excess cold.
The following week he told me that it had worked for his sciatica. I told him I could tell because he was walking normal again. Previously his walk looked stiff and he was obviously in pain. He said he started noticing relief by the fourth application and by the sixth application he felt back to normal. I told him for future reference, the icing is most effective when applied at the first signs or symptoms of sciatica. He said if he has another flare up, he will use this method right away!

Lithium Orotate to Prevent and Treat Alzheimer's
3 days agoA recent Harvard study published in Nature found that lithium may be an important factor in preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease. The study found a consistent 20-30% depletion of lithium in the prefrontal cortex of people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's.
Researchers found that amyloid plaques, a key feature of Alzheimer's, trap lithium carbonate (a form of lithium used to treat bipolar disorder), which then impairs the brain's immune cells. These cells become less effective at clearing plaques, leading to more lithium being trapped and worsening the condition.
The study suggests that lithium orotate, a different form of the mineral, is able to bypass the plaques and reach the neurons. In mouse models, a lithium-deficient diet led to increased amyloid plaques and other Alzheimer's-like symptoms. Conversely, low doses of lithium orotate nearly halted plaque formation in young mice and reduced plaques by 70% in older mice, resulting in a full recovery of cognitive function. Mechanism of Action: Lithium helps regulate a protein called GSK3 beta, which, when overactive due to lithium depletion, can lead to issues like tau phosphorylation and inflammation.
It is suggested that lithium orotate should be considered an essential micronutrient for brain health. The next step is to conduct human clinical trials to test the cognitive protective effects of lithium orotate.

1. Taurine in Neurons
Taurine is considered the most abundant free amino acid in the brain. Its presence and behavior in neurons are heavily documented:
• The Astrocyte Connection: Brain taurine is synthesized predominantly in neighboring support cells called astrocytes. Astrocytes metabolically couple with neurons, passing them a precursor (hypotaurine) which neurons convert into active taurine.
• Function in Neurons: Inside and around neurons, taurine acts as a powerful neuroprotectant, organic osmoregulator (controlling cell volume), and antioxidant.
• Neurotransmission: It is released into the synaptic space as a neuromodulator, binding to GABA and glycine receptors on neurons to calm hyperexcitation and prevent cell damage.
2. Luteolin in Neurons
Luteolin is a natural flavonoid found in vegetables like parsley, broccoli, and carrots. It is not manufactured by human brain tissue, but it is routinely detected within neuronal structures following ingestion:
• Crossing the Barrier: Luteolin is highly lipophilic, allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier and directly enter brain tissues.
• Intracellular Action: Once inside the brain, luteolin directly interacts with hippocampal and cortical neurons. Research shows it accumulates within neurons to inhibit harmful signaling pathways (like mTOR/NF-κB), block tau hyperphosphorylation, and prevent glutamate-induced neuronal death.
• Microglial Intermediation: In addition to entering neurons directly, luteolin acts heavily on microglia (the brain's immune cells) to stop them from secreting toxins that kill nearby neurons.
Colloidal Silver Side Effects
3 days agoGargling With ACV for Sore Throat
3 days agoI couldn't even sleep as my throat was so tickly and weird and kept making me feel unwell!
I've only had a cold but... yeah I dunno. Not nice.
Anyway I diluted the Apple Cider Vinegar probably not as much as I should have done and gargled with it probably longer than I should have (both things I'm working on! ) and... I could sleep! Yay!
This isn't the first time I've felt it's worked either. It's worked about 4 times for me since I've had this cold.
So yeah! Be careful of your teeth as I need to reign in how I do it, but it does seem to work well!
