Re: Migraines From Estradiol Product Containing DHEA
1 month agoYour body does indeed make DHEA, but that doesn't mean it's always OK to add it as a medication or supplement. I used to use it for menopausal issues, but now that I've had a hormone-sensitive uterine cancer, I can't use it anymore.
If someone says that they got migraines from a certain product, I would simply believe them.

I forgot to mention that icing the area at least twice a day will likely have synergy with the melatonin lotion to speed the healing process. Use a good ice pad that holds its coldness for a good amount of time.

Art's DDD Remedies
1 month agoHi Romaida,
For a 14 year old, I would try melatonin lotion or melatonin gel for about a month, first, because they can have anti inflammatory and healing effects. If after a month it doesn't help, then I would consider the NOW Double Strength Hyaluronic Acid and Stopain combo. Check with her doctor first to make sure all of the above will be safe for her and compatible with whatever medications the doctor has her on.
Here is how to make melatonin lotion :

1 month agoRe: Baking Soda Inhalation
1 month agoI would NOT recommend steam for delivery of baking soda solution. Here's why: When heated in a kettle, the NaHCO₃ will stay behind in the kettle and only distilled water vapor will come out the spout. This is a basic principle of steam distillation.
I would suggest the nebulizer, after dissolving it in distilled hot water, (use the kettle for that) since you will actually get baking soda solution delivered into the lungs. Raising the alkalinity of your lungs is extremely helpful to counter the damaging effects of inhaled acid vapors as a first aid treatment. It was used to treat people exposed to phosgene gas with good effect and other vapors such as hydrochloric acid.
If the virus needs a specific PH to reproduce and attach, this would work. But there is limited data. With that said, many medical discoveries were made by people willing to do the research on themselves, such as Barry Marshall who proved that the H. Pylori bacteria caused GERD. He was laughed at and ridiculed by the medical community, but he infected himself with H. Pylori and proved his theory by curing it with antibiotics. (He won a nobel prize for that.)

Hi I am trying to find the Now Foods Hyaluronic Acid 100mg Double Strength capsules. I am in the UK. I think I have found it but it also contains L-Proline, ALA and Grapeseed Extract. Is this the same formula that you recommend, please?
Re: Regimen Used for Eczema
1 month agoCetaphil is loaded with weird chemicals. Look at the label.
I wash my sensitive skin with pure unscented natural soap (not the detergent bars masquerading as soap! ). It's made a huge difference. And I use Badger Baby Balm for after. It's a simple ointment that protects the skin... there are many simple ointments out there. Creams, on the other hand, disturb the skin barrier because of the water content. Hope this helps.

1 month agoPainful Varicose Veins Gone.
From the Book: Miracle Medicine Foods, p. 55-58. 1977 by Rex Adams
Mrs. N.R. reports: "When I was pregnant with my second son, I developed very painful varicose veins in my left leg. After my son's birth I assumed they were gone. But when I resumed my dance training, I found I was wrong. After four hours on the dance floor my leg would be killing me! So I temporarily gave up dance.
"I started to read a lot and began to realize that what I needed were extra vitamins. Bingo! I put myself on a vitamin regimen with extra B-6, folic acid, and vitamin E. At the same time I got back on the dance floor. Well, it didn't happen over-night, but after two months my legs didn't hurt as much after class. So I increased the E to 400 I.U. daily and three months later I noticed that the veins were gone! No ugly veins bulging on my legs! Even the little 'spider veins' around my ankle were gone.”
Vitamin E for Leg Ulcers

From the Book: Miracle Medicine Foods, p. 55-58. 1977 by Rex Adams
Mr. H.M. reports: "Because of a family background of heart trouble and diabetes, I started on vitamin E and other vitamins and minerals some four years ago. Prior to that time I had a case of phlebitis which seemed to have healed normally. "Recently I noted that the vein in my leg that had been affected began to develop a varicose condition. The vein was enlarged and showed the common dark blue condition associated with this type of problem. This was about two months ago, and at that time I increased my vitamin E intake from 2000 units a day to 3000 units. I also increased my vitamin C from 1000 mg. to 2000 mg. Within two weeks the vein was, and still is, back to normal.
"The one other note on vitamin E is that prior to starting on it I was taking medicine (Orinase) for diabetes. My doctor said I would have to take it the rest of my life, but after a short time of vitamin E, I was able to stop the use of it. My fasting blood sugar is always between 85 and 95. My doctor says that it is temporarily abated, but I believe it's the vitamin E.
Vitamin E for Phlebitis

Ms. H.N. reports: "Up until recently I had so much pain with phlebitis that I was in bed for three months. Then a friend told me about vitamin E and I have been taking 400mg. daily and now I walk for an hour or- more every morning. Then I help at Senior Citizens for four hours, five days a week besides all the other things I do and my legs do not bother me now. I will be 70 years old soon and have more energy than my daughter who is 32. I am so grateful for vitamin E. It has been my life saver! "
Phlebitis Ulcer Heals like Magic.
Ms. V.B. reports: "For many years I had suffered phlebitis which eventually broke down and formed an ulcer, which would heal for a while then break open again and again. After one severe case of infection, I had to have surgery, which helped, but only temporarily. By this time I had a great area of scar tissue which would crack, with the result, further ulceration occurred. My doctor wanted further surgery and skin graft, which I refused. "I engaged a new doctor; he agreed with me a trial with vitamin E might be of some merit. He put me on 1600 units a day, plus application externally to the affected area. It was like magic. The ulcers healed, the scar tissue became pliable, no further breakage. The bulgy veins flattened down to normal.
"I stayed on vitamin E for six weeks under doctor's supervision/Then decreased to 800 per day for three months. I now continue to take 400 units each day. Never felt better in my life. Considering I'm in my sixties and worked standing on my feet eight hours a day, this was a severe test for any medication.
Phlebitis Relieved, Clot Disappears, Paralysis Avoided.
Mr. D.S. relates how his neighbor developed a clot in his right thigh, which was removed surgically. The operation was a great success, he says. Unfortunately, the man's leg was permanently paralyzed. Then he says: "Last May I served on the election board ... and was on my feet practically all (day). By the next morning an alarming blood clot had formed in the femoral vein in my left thigh. The flesh around the vein was red and inflamed. The vein stood out under the skin like a rope on the inside portion of my thigh and was very sore to the touch ... I feared that surgery ... I had been taking about 1200 I.U. of vitamin E daily, so I decided ... to double the dose ... and within 24 hours the clot began to disappear. The hard rope-like vein in my thigh had softened. I continued taking 2400 I.U. of vitamin E for several days. After five or six days the clot and inflammation had completely gone. Soon thereafter I had recovered completely."
