8 days agoI used to use lemongrass essential oil to treat and prevent cold sores but switched to oil of oregano after a major outbreak. Both work but the oregano is stronger in my experience.
If you add a few drops to a natural lip balm (not petroleum based) and use regularly it helps prevent them.
Re: Bee Stings
8 days ago"In rare cases where bumble bees do sting, it is usually because they feel threatened by something we are doing... Only the females have stingers.
"Bumble bees can sting more than once, and may recruit other members from their nest to help if they feel the threat remains.
"The majority of individuals stung will have a minor reaction ... limited to the area around the sting... Most stings will not require any treatment, and will get better by themselves with time.. .
However ... While very rare, there has been a known fatality due to complications likely caused by *manny* likely caused by likely caused by *many* bumble bee stings.

I forgot to mention an important one for aortic calcification, Boron based supplements.
So the list now looks like this :
1.The Nattokinase you already said you were considering.
2. Boron based supplement
3. Magnesium glycinate
4. Vitamin D
5. Melatonin
6. Vitamin K2M7
7. Aged Garlic Extract
The above are in no particular order.

Gastritis / Acid Reflux Helped With Cabbage Juice and Supplement
9 days agoI suffered from chronic acid reflux, burning in my stomach and esophagus, and no appetite for four years and was diagnosed with gastritis in 2026. I was negative for H. pylori and anti-parietal antibodies. I read that fresh cabbage juice can help, as well as the following compounds:
- L-glutamine
- Slippery Elm Bark
- Marshmallow Root
- Methylsulfonylmethane
- Licorice Root
- Zinc L-carnitine
- Aloe Vera
I found a powder form supplement with all these compounds sold by Terra Origin. I started making a glass of cabbage juice once a day and drinking the Terra Origin drink twice a day, and within two days I was 80-90% better. Within a week I was basically cured, after 4 years of constant pain.
Prior to this, I found that ginger was helpful and I also tried the ketogenic diet, but nothing made as big a difference as cabbage juice and the Terra Origin supplement. It truly feels miraculous. Best of luck to everyone suffering from gastritis or acid reflux.
Topical Iodine for Hair Loss
9 days agoLugol's Iodine – ALOPECIA AREATA (Bald Spots, Tinea decalvans).
Home Medicine and Surgery A Dictionary of Diseases and Accidents, and Their Treatment when the Services of a Doctor are Not Obtainable, p. 10, by William Mackenzie · 1890
This is the name given to a not uncommon disease, which affects the hair. It chiefly attacks the
hair of the head, but sometimes the beard, whiskers, and eyelashes are affected. It is characterised by the hair falling out in a circumscribed region, leaving a bald patch of circular outline, which is
quite unmistakable when fully developed. Its causation is obscure; but it occurs more often in men than women. It is non-contagious, and unattended by any signs of ill-health. It is very chronic in progress, and is apt to recur. In most cases, after a longer or shorter period, a cure is effected, but sometimes permanent baldness results.
The treatment is purely local, and consists in applying stimulants to the affected part. Iodine liniment and the vinegar of cantharides form the best applications. Sometimes one remedy does good, and sometimes another. Acetic acid has been recommended. Benefit is often experienced by having the part regularly shaved.
Re: DMSO Warning
9 days agoRe: MSM and Sulphur vs Sulfa
9 days agoOP states that 'they' purchased: "100% OptiMSM Silicon Dioxide"...
Silicon dioxide {silica) is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO2 ... and is definitely NOT ... Methylsulfonylmethane {MSM) which is an organic sulfur compound.
Food-grade Diatomaceous earth is high in bio-available silicon & its powder is often used in grains/flours/powdered-supplements/etc. to keep them flowing freely rather than clumping...
So I suspect OP purchased 99% OptiMSM containing 1% of silicon dioxide to keep it free flowing... I don't really know. However, silicon dioxide *is* sold in 100% strength... Whether by OptiMSM ... IDK.
Re: DMSO Warning
9 days agoCompletely agree Pete...This woman should do her research. I used a 20% (20% DMSO with 80% distilled water) and then 40% solution to heal macular degeneration. Every day - sometimes twice per day - I put a drop into each eye. I was thrilled to learn that the Macular is gone. Also, I use a 70% solution of DMSO with Magnesium chloride spray if I have very sore muscles.
DMSO increases circulation and has amazing heal properties.
It is quite unnerving to read a post like the one above advising not to use DMSO. Again - do your research - you sound like an ad for Big Pharma.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Hair Loss
9 days agoApple Cider Vinegar for Dandruff, Baldness Itching Scalp, Dry and Thinning Hair.
From the Book: Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar 52nd Edition Miracle Health System With the Bragg Healthy Lifestyle by Paul and Patricia Bragg N.D.
The high acidity (organic malic acid) plus the powerful enzymes (the “mother's” life chemicals) in ACV kill the bottle bacillus, a germ responsible for many scalp and hair conditions. The problems caused by this are dandruff, itching scalp, thinning hair and often baldness.
Every hair has its own oil can. Bottle bacilli can clog these tiny openings. Scales and small dry crusts are formed, resulting in itching and dandruff. The oil-starved hairs either fall out or break off, causing hair thinning and baldness. ACV not only kills bottle bacillus, but stimulates the oil cans for healthier activity.
For dandruff: pour 3 Tbsps. ACV in cup – part hair in sections and sponge ACV directly on scalp and wrap head with towel. ACV helps restore proper acid/alkaline balance to scalp, do before every shampoo.
For dry hair: weekly apply castor oil or olive oil to hair, and ACV to scalp, then wrap. Leave on for 30 minutes to 3 hours before shampooing.
Hair growth stimulating mixtures: for bald and thinning areas try these mixtures – on scalp (2 Tbsps
ACV and tiny pinch cayenne powder), hour before shampooing (keep out of eyes! ). Mix royal jelly cap and tsp ACV and pat on bald areas - leave on overnight. Many get great results.
Hair rinse mixture: for a healthy after-shampoo rinse for shine and body, add 3 cup ACV to quart of water. Pre-mix in handy plastic bottle and keep in shower to use.
Re: Positive Health Loop (PHL) for Alzheimer's
10 days agoI understand what you are saying, ariley and I feel bad for you and your father's situation. I don't know how advanced his AD is, but I still believe there is a point of no return in AD. From my point of view, if it were my loved one, and I am only speaking for myself here, I feel like, if there was a practical way to make sure a loved one could take the full PHL daily, I would want to make that option available to them, because we all know what the outcome is when you use the standard of care for AD. I know that sounds harsh, but having seen what patients, families, friends and caregivers have to go through with just using the standard of care when it comes to AD, I would not want anyone to have to go through that if there might be another potential option. It may not work for everyone, but under the circumstances, for me personally, I would want to try, but I also understand that everyone does not feel the same as I do.

Aortic Calcification Question for Art
10 days agoHi Pat C,
Yes, Nattokinase at the dose you describe should be helpful.
Magnesium glycinate at the RDA for elemental magnesium should be useful. To reach the RDA for women (320 mg) it will generally take 3 to 5 pills and for men (420 mg) 4 to 6 pills depending on the manufacturer.
Vitamin K2M7 will also be useful to try and help calcium to where it belongs, in the bones and not the tissues.
Vitamin D, if you are low or deficient. Studies suggest getting to the 45 to 65 ng/ml on a 25 OH D test can be beneficial.
Aged Garlic Extract can also be useful.
Melatonin, if you tolerate it well, should be very useful also.
Although not as well studied for aortic aneurysm, these are likely to offer some preventative effects.
These would all be high on my consideration list for the purpose you mentioned.

Confused About Borax Dosing
10 days agoI'm a bit confused about dosing with Borax and would like someone to explain where I'm going wrong.
I've ordered a pharmaceutical grade Borax from " PERSCRIBED FOR LIFE." The package lists a serving size of 1/16 of a teaspoon consisting of 250 mg Borax containing 27 mg of Boron.
Using "Ted's" protocol for men of 1/4 teaspoon in a litre of water sipped throughout the day would deliver 1000 mg borax containing 108 mg of boron per day.
The " Walter Last" style stock solution on the other hand, lists 1 teaspoon of Borax dissolved in 1 quart of water with 1-2 teaspoons/day. One teaspoon = 4000 mg of Borax and 432 mg of boron. One quart of water contains 192 teaspoons. 192 teaspoons ÷ 432 mg of boron = 2.25 mg of boron / teaspoon. 2 × 2.25 = 4.5 mg/ day.
So Ted's protocol delivers 108 mg of boron/ day and Walter Last only 4.5! How are these 2 protocols comparable?
Further research on a substack called "CURIOUS OUTLIER" states that the human equivalent dose derived from animal studies on boron is 0.81 mg/ kg. I weigh 97.5 kg which comes out to 78.975 mg of boron per day. Please, is my arithmetic and reasoning correct?
Re: Activated Charcoal for Tooth or Gum Pain
10 days agoWhen my cats or I have an abscess, we ingest Activated Charcoal with plenty of water, even with our food. Because, although many think it might absorb some important nutrition, a study was done that shows just the opposite is true.. .
"Digestion & Metablism Indices of Sheep When Using Activated Charcoal Supplement"
https://thescipub.com/pdf/ojbsci.2017.121.127.pdf
(Online Journal of Biological Sciences)
ALSO, people who take it 3 times a day for odor control (those who must wear a bag for fecal contents due to having had their bowel removed) do so for many years without any reports of nutritional deficiencies.
Even animals in the wild have been observed seeking out sources of regular charcoal to eat & benefit from!

Thanking the Lord for guiding me into truth and for healing.
Borax Questions
10 days agoI have a family member that has osteoarthritis, and takes a lot of meds for other issues. Is Borax safe to take with medications? I'm also interested in it but I was wondering if I could add tart cherry (gout) to the borax and 2 liters of water or would one cancel out the other? Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
