Symptoms - lower leg pain and ankle pain feeling like I have straight jackets on them, I feel like I am walking on sandy beach or sometimes it feels like a rocky beach, I get chest pains if I lift anything over 5 pounds. It is not neuropathy.

3 days agoDon't know if you ever resolved it, but inability to absorb iron can be a common problem and is usually related to low stomach acid. The trick is to have something acidic such as apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in water prior to taking the iron supplements or high iron foods. Alternatively you could try hydrochloric acid pills (hcl) but they can be hard on the stomach and you may not need to increase the acidity by that much.
Cat Ascites: Diagnosis and Remedy Help Needed
3 days agoTry this for your kitty ascites:
Materials needed:
– ½ teaspoon activated charcoal powder. Charcoal has the capability of adsorbing thousands of substances to its surface, giving it the reputable title of “universal antidote.” One of activated charcoal's benefits is that it has the ability to block the absorption of harmful and hazardous compounds into the body while simultaneously absorbing and ridding the body of dangerous elements that were already present.
(if you can't find it in powder form, the fish aquarium activated charcoal sold in the fish/pet supply dept at walmart will work, just grind it in a mortor and pestal til fine powder)
– 8 oz clean water
– Baby medicine syringe
Method:
Add ½ teaspoon activated charcoal to water and stir.
Load the medicine syringe with the resulting “slurry water” and force it down the kitty's throat. Do this until the kitty can't do anymore. The kitty should take at least 5 – 10ml. Repeat every 2-3 hours.
If the charcoal has no effect, switch to colloidal silver 10ppm.
Good luck...

3 days agoRe: Dermatomyositis Remedies Needed
4 days agoHi Shell,
Hopefully you get notifications from replies, I know you posted this a while back.
I have been battling dermatomyositis for a while, without realizing it. Finally the constellation of symptoms has made it clear, from the violaceous rash on my face, calcifications in fat layer and back of hand, swollen eyes, fatigue, weakness in trunk and thigh muscles, myalgia, etc. Weirdly enough, also constantly ravenous with huge weight gain, like 100 pounds in the last 6 years. I've had various autoimmune problems my whole life, but this is the current manifestation. I was on LDN, but ran out and due to my current nomadic lifestyle, haven't been able to keep current medical care, so it's just been up to me. Also, I refuse to take corticosteroids or immune suppressants because they will eventually kill you (I understand when it's life or death and people need to, but it's my personal choice because I have found ways to keep it at bay and was doing great for a long time.) So with this current relapse and new symptoms, I've been digging for answers, and here's what I'm finding.
PABA - one thing they used to prescribe (and I understand still sometimes do) for dermatomyositis is Potaba, a form of PABA with potassium attached, not available over the counter. But as I understand, the reason they don't use it much now is because it's badly tolerated in the GI tract. PABA (a little-known B vitamin), on the other hand, is better tolerated, OTC and still works, just not quite as efficiently. I just started taking it a few days ago, and I got IMMEDIATE improvement...rash fading, hugely increased energy, muscles strength, mood and pain levels. I started on 500 mg a day, but today am going to bump up to 1000 (500 mg 2x/day) because I noticed by early evening I was fatigued again, grumpy, appetite back up, etc, and this morning eye swelling and myalgia was back (after 2 days of none! ) I took the first dose in the evening of the first day and the second dose in the morning of the second, and felt great, so I think I just need more. I will keep increasing it incrementally as needed for relief. It's cheap, it's relatively safe (good studies debunked hepotoxicity worries, look them up), has little to no side effects in proper doses, except preventing sunburn safely (when taken internally) and reversing grey hair in some folks!
Depending on how sick you are, you may need to take more. I believe it is given in doses up to 12g, but so your reading and due diligence first. And pay attention to your body's signals... don't take it at all or in large doses is you have liver/kidney issues. It's cleared through the kidneys.
N-acetyl-Glucosamine (NAG) I just came across it today. Apparently it's very helpful for all manner of autoimmune disease, regulating T and B cell activity and lowering cytokine levels, which are major issues in dermatomyositis. Look into it, I'm still reading, which is how I got here today.
Good luck, and I hope you find some relief!

4 days agoCat Ascites: Diagnosis and Remedy Help Needed
4 days agoDoes anyone have any cures for cat ascites or something to help ease the discomfort? My kitty has it bad and the vet is stumped what could be causing it ( it's not FIP or FIV and they can't find any cancer or heart issues, they did multiple scans, x rays and ultrasounds which just seems to have made her worse) and he can't drain any fluids for a few days until he's back in the clinic. She has trouble walking and doesn't want to eat. Any ideas what it could be or what to do for her discomfort? Any emergency treatments to help a cat that unwell?
Garlic for Lung Conditions
4 days agoGarlic Syrup is great for most all lung disorders, including sore throat and hoarseness, coughs, asthma, lung congestion, difficulty in breathing, as well as chronic bronchitis and pneumonia. It greatly assists in loosening phlegm from the lungs through expectoration.
I am sharing this formula with EC readers. It has been around for a very long time; however, most people have never heard of it. I have used this formula myself with great results and I will guarantee you will too.
Garlic is a digestive stimulant, an internal antiseptic and a gland regulator. Indicated in cases of colds, asthma, diphtheria, chronic catarrh, bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, malaria, worms, epilepsy, high blood pressure (take the oil of garlic), whooping cough, dropsy, fevers, gas, dyspepsia, hardening of the arteries, thyriod hypo-function, sinusitis, nerve depletion, and promotes the elimination and expectoration of phlegm and mucus. Garlic should not be eaten in any form if there is inflammation of the stomach and or bowels. – Medicinal Value of Natural Foods by Dr. W.H. Graves (D.C.)
Garlic has a beneficial effect on the lymphatic system, aiding in the elimination of noxious waste matter in the body, having the tendency to increase body-odor until such waste has been sufficiently eliminated. It is a valuable cleaner of the mucous membranes, particularly the lungs, the sinuses, the nose and the throat. For this reason it is a valuable food in pulmonary conditions, asthma, etc…

Re: Remedies Needed for Wisdom Teeth Extraction
4 days agoActivated charcoal. Empty 2 tea bags, put some activated charcoal in them, tie them off with thread, dampen them and place on "the hole" areas so they hit both upper and lower when she closes her mouth. Shouldn't take long to start relieving the discomfort. Maybe a minute - but probably not that long. Also, make a charcoal slurry (1 TBS activated charcoal per 1/2 cup of water for her to rinse with. You can keep tht in the fridge and simply shake it a bit before rinsing with it. It is perfectly fine to swallow.
