Re: Low-Dose Ivermectin for Hashimoto's
5 days agoHi, there! I did actually only take 1/2, that's one half mg of Ivermectin which ended the severe symptoms once and for all within hours. At the time I was so sensitive to anything - fairly innocuous substances would make my heart race - hence my trying such a low dose of the Ivermectin. TPO are trying to help but something has your system overexcited and inflamed. From my original post you'll see what I tried. LDN works for many, not all, to lower TPO. Look for Dr. Ruscio and Dr. Osansky for free help online via their YT channels and websites.
GLP Injection Side Effects
6 days agoA word of warning for anyone considering the GLP injections (any brand) about a potential side effect. I was on Tirzepatide (generic Zepbound) from October 2024-June 2025, the lowest dose of 2.5mg. Then I switched to Zepbound, same lowest dose. Well, one side effect I was getting was horrible UTI symptoms (burning/pressure/pain). Just Google "GLP + UTI": lots of women who've had UTIs in the past and some who've never had one! Of course I went to Urgent Care & to my Urologist to have the urinalysis AND culture done, and yes, I had a UTI (ended up having multiple ones this past year! ).
Recently I stopped the Zepbound for 3 weeks, and sure enough, no symptoms, and was starting to feel normal again (i.e., no UTIs). Unfortunately, I started my emotional-eating again, and gained 4 pounds. So I took another injection yesterday (I have 5 more vials left) because the Zepbound worked for me (stops the cravings/addiction need, etc.), and like clockwork, I have another UTI today! I am SO done with this!!
Re: Post-Menopausal Weight Gain
6 days agoMyo-Inositol definitely helps. My "binge-ing hour" is 2-4pm, so that's when I take the Myo-Inositol, recommended by my Functional Medicine Practitioner.

6 days agoRe: Daughter With Diabetes
6 days agoI hope your daughter's diabetes is well controlled. I had it for a time but now my blood sugar has returned to normal. I noticed when I exercised my blood sugar was lower and when I stayed around 30 grams of fat per day this helped too. I pray she stays well, take care!
Cancer-Fighting Foods
6 days agoYes, berries are a cancer fighting food. Some folks that were using immunotherapy for their cancer did not respond while the other group responded well. The one thing they were missing was a strain of good bacteria that come from berries, such as cranberries. Dr William Li has some great videos on YouTube about cancer fighting foods.
Re: Borax Foot Baths
6 days agoI just soaked my feet tonight in borax, warm water, some regular vinegar (I usually use apple cider vinegar but didn't have any), and a couple of drops of oregano oil. Great benefit was a callus on the bottom of my foot literally dropped off with just a little nudge. AND I am the most relaxed I have been in weeks as I get ready to fall asleep. The benefits are wonderful. (I too cannot get in a bath.) Enjoy!

6 days agoRe: Aspartame
6 days agoAvoid aspartame like the plague. A client's daughter awoke one morning (5 months pregnant) with a little dizzyness. Got out of bed and unable to walk without holding on to walls, furniture. Began loosing vision. Hospitalization, the docs couldn't find anything wrong (one was her sibling). Released after a few days in wheelchair. Like this for a few months. My client said she was running late for our appointment, she had to drop off a case of diet pepsi to same daughter. I mentioned the danger of aspartame but it was poo-pooed by mom and doctor daughter. Oh well, some will only believe western medicine. Sadly.
Butcher's Broom is Wonder Herb for Veinous Insufficiency!
6 days agoI've had Veinous Insufficiency since I was about 27...I'm now 46 (My legs get swollen after just a few hours of being awake, and I have unbearable itchiness from it. So much so, that in my sleep, I unknowingly will scratch my legs until they bleed. From this, my legs look terrible: Scars, discoloration, etc. from over 20 years of this) I run almost every day, I'm vegetarian, eat well, I'm not overweight and don't have diabetes - so I'm the perfect case study for this as I have no other underlying issues, and don't take any medications. All of this to say, Butchers Broom has changed my life. I've been taking it for about 3 months now, and the change in my legs is night and day. If I miss a few days, the symptoms come right back, so I know it's the Butchers Broom. I'm just sad I didn't start taking this 20 years ago. I urge anyone with Veinous Insufficiency (who doesn't have high blood pressure), to try it for just 2 days ...that's how long it took for me to really notice the difference. Hope it helps someone else :)
Re: Supplements Causing Low Blood Sugar

Kratom for Pain - Update
6 days agoSorry for the repeating last post-it seems though that I'm the only one here excited about kratom. So we decided to stay with microdoses now= 1-2 caps. To make sure we do not get addicted we usually take it 5-6 times a week with 1 week /a month w/o kratom. We have not taken it for the last week with no problems--what's more its effect on dulling pain STAYED. So it may be taken only AS NEEDED
Shingles Dermal Nerve Damage Above Eyes - Remedies Needed

Re: Inhaling Ozone
7 days ago@ Joe (Illinois)
I've been thinking about this subject for a few weeks. I grow up in the 70's and 80's. My parents and many other parents had (ozone clean air purifiers) in their homes. They were housed in a wooden looking box. You can search the internet and still find them. They ran 24/7. You could always smell the crisp clean electrical smell in the air. We breathed ozone in our lungs atleast 12 hours out of everyday. According to the internet… we should all be dead. So the internet LIES! So yes Zega is right.

7 days agoBorax Products - Is There A Difference?
7 days agoBorax products. Is there a difference.
Borax, Mule Team vs Borox from Prescribed for Life. The borox from Prescribed is cleaned and made into fine powder. This is borox used in labs. I would assume it is more desirable as it specially cleaned. What I wonder about is this borox treated in any way that would make it less desirable as a nutrient?
MMS and Food Detox?
7 days agoOne woman said that if you soak food in a solution of 1 gallon of water mixed with 1 teaspoon (5ml) of sodium hypochlorite (original chlorox bleach with no fragrance and nothing added)...
... then, the bleach will pull out all of the poisons from the foods and even revive foods... I.e. she would soak withered green leaves and the leaves would regain their fresh crispy texture, green colour and taste...
Can Chlorine Dioxide do the same? Any info and or experience on this if CD can do this?
Re: Hypnic Jerks
7 days agoI have suffered from this for 25 yrs. If working or exercising hard I get it worse. So the more I need the rest the worse the jerks are and then I become stressed. Kicking my girlfriend is awful and if she has an early start the next day it stresses me out so much because I'm ruining her sleep. My father had it bad.. no cinema, no long trips. My grandparents had to have not just separate beds but then separate rooms. It's an awful thing. It is not for everyone but a small amount of cannabis can completely cure the problem for me, taken just before bed. However it is illegal in the UK. I have not tried cbd on its own but I do want to try it. Not the weak stuff, but high extract cbd may work too. Cannabis has been used in world cultures forever for stomach aches, period pains and for good sleep.
