2 months agoHi ariley,
Until Bill is able to answer you, you can look into melatonin for the purpose that you mentioned. Melatonin is also useful during chelation treatment because it offers potent protective effects that freed toxic metals can cause before they are eliminated. It readily crosses the blood brain barrier(BBB) and its over 10 metabolites can have abilities that rival and possibly exceed the mother compound while also having the ability to repair and protect a compromised BBB. It also has organ protective effects that are useful during chelation and other times.

2 months agoI found this site while looking for natural prevention tips. The avocado seed remedy is new to me - thank you for sharing detailed experiences here.
I work a 9-5 desk job and I'm trying to be proactive about prevention. Besides the dietary suggestions like fiber and water on this page, does anyone have experience with standing desk converters? I'm wondering if alternating sitting/standing actually reduces pressure vs just taking walking breaks.
Really grateful this community exists for sharing real experiences. Avoiding the clinical fear-mongering is so refreshing.

2 months agoChlorine Dioxide (MMS) for Chalazion
2 months agoI have been dealing with a chalazion for almost 2 years. I've done the recommended treatments as well as most of the recommendations here on earth clinic as well as seeing a couple different ophthalmologists: hot compresses, steroid injections more than once, manuka honey, apple cider vinegar, antibiotics, castor oil and heat, and probably other things I can't remember at the moment. Sometimes the chalazion would go away for a couple weeks and then return with a vengeance. After all of these treatments, my one chalazion turned into another raging stye right next to it doubling my issue.
I went back to when this issue started, my cats nail poking my eyelid. Realizing this was most likely related to bartinella I decided to try Chlorine Dioxide (MMS) dropped into my eye. This is obviously a little bit scary but the recommendation in the MMS book called for 1 activated drop mixed with 4oz of reverse osmosis or distilled water. I would drop 3-4 drops of this mixture into my eye 3 or 4 times a day. At first my eye seemed to get worse, but bartinella is usually protected by a biofilm- it took a few days to kill the biofilm and then it killed the bartinella in my eyelid and it has been healed! The MMS does not hurt, it just feels like water.
I'm not sure if all chalazions are caused by some sort of bacterial infection, but it makes me wonder. I would recommend getting the book ‘MMS Health Recovery Guidebook' by Jim Humble, it's really quite the miracle cure for most things. I hope this helps someone!
Essential Oils for Shingles
2 months agoMy husband is 68 and had a terrible case of shingles on one side of his head and around his eye. He started getting the worst BURNING (like fire) on that side that would last about a minute. He would run into the bathroom and splash water on it with no relief. It happened once a day and then twice a day. After research, I applied 2 drops of Frankincense oil, 2 drops Peppermint oil and 2 drops of Glove Bud oil in Argan carrier oil 3 times a day (away from eye). Since the very first application he has not had one episode. Truly amazing. Glory to God.
Need Help for Autoimmune Cirrhosis
2 months agoHi Jkjeff,
If you mean cirrhosis that is caused by autoimmune hepatitis (the most common cause), one useful supplement that could be adjunctive to standard treatment to help protect the liver is Silymarin from Milk Thistle. It helps through various mechanisms that are relevant to autoimmune hepatitis.
- Reduces oxidative stress
- In autoimmune hepatitis, immune cells generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species that damage hepatocytes.
- Silymarin:
- Scavenges free radicals.
- Increases intracellular glutathione.
- Activates the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway.
- Helps preserve mitochondrial function.
This may reduce ongoing injury to surviving liver cells.
- Suppresses inflammatory signaling
Silymarin has been shown to decrease:- TNF-α
- IL-1β
- IL-6
- NF-κB activation
These inflammatory mediators contribute to liver damage regardless of what initially triggered the disease.
- May partially modulate the immune response
Rather than broadly suppressing immunity like corticosteroids, silymarin appears to:- Reduce excessive T-cell activation.
- Increase regulatory T-cell activity in some experimental models.
- Reduce inflammatory macrophage activation.
These effects are modest compared with prescription immunosuppressive therapy.
- Reduces fibrosis
One of the most interesting actions is inhibition of hepatic stellate cells.
Activated stellate cells produce collagen that leads to cirrhosis.
Silymarin has been shown experimentally to:
- Reduce stellate cell activation.
- Decrease collagen deposition.
- Lower expression of TGF-β.
- Reduce extracellular matrix accumulation.
This may slow progression of fibrosis.
- Supports liver regeneration
Silymarin may:
- Increase protein synthesis within hepatocytes.
- Stabilize cell membranes.
- Promote regeneration of surviving liver cells.
These effects have been observed in both laboratory and some clinical studies.
Warning
Autoimmune hepatitis is a dangerous disease so you will need to get your doctor's approval and monitoring before using silymarin to make sure it will be compatible with your medications and to make sure you are not allergic to Silymarin. A person can be allergic to almost anything so monitoring is needed, at least initially and then your doctor can guide you from there.
Another useful supplement is vitamin D, if your level is low. It will require one simple blood test to determine your vitamin D level.
Also, one more useful supplement is NAC, which will also require your doctor's approval and supervision.
Keep us posted on how you do!

Need Help for Autoimmune Cirrhosis

A friend told me to this earthclinic site
Now I don't drink, I don't do drugs and I don't smoke, last year I was getting this fluid was building up, I was going to a regular doctor but with all the tests I asked about getting the fluids drained from my abdomen and the only answer I was getting was go to the ER will after they put me on so many meds like prednisone 40 mg and a host of other expensive drugs... I think they were picking these drugs because they had the highest price but I was getting second opinions and getting a lot of conflicting information... A doctor in the ER tested the fluids drained from the parisentesis and found out that the fluids were infected, now the other doctors that were working on the problem didn't think of this and the ER doctor put me in the hospital on a broad spectrum antibiotic... Now I am allergic to amoxicillin and the doctors in the hospital new that... I was in the hospital for a week or so, but this year I went into the hospital again and the fluids again were infected so this time the doctor did a petri test and gave me what I needed and they sent me home but your diet is different now but Last year they never sent me to a nutritionist and this year a different doctor finally got me scheduled with one and that went well.
So besides being off work on medical leave... I wish I had someone to help me deal with all that... But this time being in the hospital and being off work I've started to get afraid to Go back to work, because I worked retail and I'm worried about the environment being the the problem, I work in a dairy in and out of the cold all the time and I've heard stories about the coolent leaking into the Air and then there's the sick people and the sick kids that come into the store. This has been such a hard time for me trying to understand how to deal with this, now I'm not vaccinated, I was smarter than that! If I had I'd probably be dead by now. So now I'm looking for a more natural healing Way.

4. For how many minutes did you leave the large tea to soak?
4B. did you cover the tea while it was soaking??
For how many minutes did he soak his feet?
5. How often, how many times per day did he reheat the tea and soak his foot?
5B. At what temperature should the tea be reheated in order to soak the feet?
5C. While the tea is not used, should it be covered?
-----------
6. Which brand of apple cider vinegar did he use?
7. How much apple cider vinegar did he add to this large tea?
8. Do you think this tea would of worked without the apple cider vinegar added to it or the ACV is mandatory for a 24 hour 100% recovery of a sprained ankle?

On the topic of heavy metal detox. I have been struggling to figure out detoxing Iron and Copper Ions from the brain. Neuromelanin is responsible for this job and I understand how one can produce more neuromelanin. As we age though this may not be enough. One study I read showed in autopsy high levels of iron and copper ions in Alzheimer's. Do you have any advice on detoxing these ions.

Re: Mercury Poisoning Binding Agents
2 months agoThere are many ways to get rid of mercury from the body such as using EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), Cilantro extract, Alpha Lipoic acid or N-Acetyl Cysteine. Lugol's Iodine(LI) can also detox lead, mercury, aliminium and cadmium and LI can also remove dangerous halogens like flourine and bromine from the body as well.
But the trouble with some heavy metal detoxers is that that they bind weakly to the mercury in the blood and so there is always the danger that mercury will be redistributed into other organs and tissues again before it is excreted. And this can cause symptoms like racing heart etc.
One way of detoxing safely is either to eat a handful Cilantro 3 or 4 times a week with your meals or take a liquid cilantro extract. Or -- my own favorite! - take shilajit every day. You can also -- as Ted from Bangkok recommends -- take humic/fulvic acid that is derived from lignite which can be easily simply processed to humic/fulvic acid. This form of humic/fulvic acid has been used in animal feed to protect the gut and maintain the health of various farm animals.
For myself, I prefer using Lugol's Iodine and the veterinary version of humic/fulvic acid. Both shilajit and veterinary humic/fulvic(h/f) acid act in the same way. The h/f acid detoxes heavy metals by binding strongly to the heavy metal whereupon a useful metallic ion from h/f -- e.g. Magnesium -- is swapped out and replaced by the mercury which is bound strongly, thus preventing any redistribution with no ill effects.
Re: Borax and Magnesium for Osteomyelitis
2 months agoHi Catherine,
That original post is 13 years old, so you may not get the answer you are looking for from that poster.
You might try buying an 8 ounce spray bottle of mag oil first, to make sure you tolerate the mag oil well and that it helps you. Save your spray bottle once it is empty, to use for your homemade mag oil. Here is a link to a typical mag oil spray :
If you tolerate the mag oil well and find it helpful then you can start making your own mag oil as it is usually less expensive than buying it ready made.
To make your own mag oil, you will need to by a bag or jar of magnesium chloride flakes which I will link to below. I make mag oil as follows. Add 4 ounces of distilled water to a one cup measuring cup. Now add magnesium flakes to the cup until the water in the cup reaches the 8 ounce line. Pour this whole cup into a jar or other suitable container with a sealable lid and shake until the flakes are completely dissolved. Once the flakes are fully dissolved, pour this mix into the original mag oil spray bottle once it is empty. This is how I make a 50% mag oil mix. Some commercial products are as high as 70%, but in my experience 50% works fine and has less chance of causing skin irritation. Here is a link to a typical jar of magnesium chloride flakes :
This jar will refill your original mag oil spray bottle many times!
One tip that I would offer to further reduce the possibility of skin irritation and make your product last longer, on your second application of the day, try just applying plain water over the area where you made your first mag oil application of the day. This will reactivate the mag oil that dried on the skin before it could be absorbed. This water application will usually offer similar pain relief and lessening of muscle cramping as the first application did. Doing this also reduces the chance for skin irritation as some people are sensitive to mag oil on their skin.
Keep us posted on your progress!
