I'm going to have to discard a lot of what Oscar has inputted in regards to BHT. First, it is FAT-SOLUBLE. It's not water-soluble. If there are signs of it working without any form of oil or food then imagine the results when PROPERLY taking it with oil/fat. Second (long-winded) --
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) is lipophilic, antiviral, and processed via the liver's phase I and II pathways (cytochrome P450).
Milk thistle (silymarin/silibinin) is:
  • Hepatoprotective
  • Antioxidant
  • Enhances glutathione levels
  • Reduces lipid peroxidation, including from lipid-soluble toxins
So in clinical hepatology, combining a liver-taxing lipophilic compound (like BHT) with a hepatoprotective like milk thistle is actually standard practice. Conclusion based on pharmacology: Milk thistle should protect the liver from oxidative stress BHT may generate, making it a logical partner.
So Why Do Sites Like EarthClinic Oppose This Combo?
Here's where it gets more speculative — and more ideological:
Theories Behind Their Caution:
Theory Reasoning
P450 interaction Milk thistle modulates (not inhibits) certain cytochrome P450 enzymes (e.g., CYP3A4, CYP2C9). Some speculate this could interfere with BHT metabolism → reducing its antiviral activation.
“Energetic” conflict Alternative/folk health spaces sometimes view BHT as “synthetic/unnatural” and milk thistle as “restorative/natural” — ideologically they treat them as opposing tools.
Herx masking Some claim milk thistle may blunt Herx reactions from BHT, leading users to misinterpret viral load status (this is anecdotal).
Detox interference (theoretical)
No clinical or preclinical data shows that milk thistle blocks, inactivates, or harms the function of BHT
No studies suggest hepatotoxicity or synergy failure between the two
If milk thistle enhances phase II detox too early, it might reduce BHT's systemic residence time. Again, this is speculative.
Unless you're relying on BHT to stay active longer (e.g., for extended antiviral saturation), milk thistle is not contraindicated — and in fact, could reduce the risk of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress caused by chronic BHT use.

No matter how old the posts are, it does not change the fact of what acetyl l-carnitine can do for the human body. It's excellent for brain zaps, which people have been experiencing a lot lately, due to newer lifestyles, focusing on phones, computers, for too long. These electric sensations in the brain, and sometimes down the spine. Sometimes it's 'heard' as a loud 'bang', or 'thunderclap', in the brain. Some people say that they have seen things that they know isnt really there..you may think you have a tumor. I believe it's a game-changer for the overworked, stressful brain.

Be careful with too much baking soda! I couldn't remember if I was supposed to take 1 tsp or TBLS - took the tablespoon with water before bed and experienced what my Apple Watch and googling appears to be AFib. My heartbeat was irregular for about 4 hours in the middle of the night. I also have HBP. Since then, I've been afraid to to the 1 tsp in water….do not want to experience that again.

The mites you are referring to that the call "incurable" and the only thing you can to is to treat the immune system are called demodex mites. That might be somthing to consider. Every animal has a form of demodrx mites, including humans. They are passed from mother to offspring during the birthing process, skin to skin contact, and breast feeding. Most people don't have any symptoms and never even know they are there...others who have a weakened immune system can't fight them effectively causing them to get out of hand.

Dear Jacqueline,

For many months I was using taking a daily infusion (strong tea) of red raspberry leaf and nettle. After a while I realized I had a lot of new hair growth. Nettle is known to help with hair growth. But the combo with red raspberry leaf may have been helpful. I am 58, post menopausal, and have lots less hair than I used to as well.

Cold-Pressed Organic Coconut Oil;

Pure MSM;

Nutribiotic's liquid GrapeFruit Seed Extract (liquid, 33% GFSE + 67% glycerin {essential buffer)

Oregano Oil

About 20 yrs ago I found these remedies on a dog-breeder's website after one of my dogs proved positive for it after having lost 10 lbs (went form 70 to 60 lbs).

She would NOT swallow ANYTHING containing the pills prescribed by conv. vet., so I looked online. Read an article saying that drug is not very affective for Giardia, & that it's Very Bitter! Then found the article sharing natural treatments....

I used the top 3 I listed, as I already had them. The 4th is one my sister later told me she uses for her dogs after they go hiking & swim in a place where they always pick Giardia up. I recall each of them was recommended as effective alone ... but I had 3 n hand, & they're all safe to use, so gave all of them to both my dogs (both showed symptoms I now recognized) mixed in their food w/ water....

PLUS, I gave the one diagnosed an extra feeding daily for a week (along with the nat. meds.), & she gained all her lost weight back that week, & did NOT loose weight after I stopped treating the Giardia!

If I were in your shoes, I would do fasting. You are doing a lot of good things, but given the chronic nature and long timeline, and the uncertainty of it all... you could hand control to the body -- it knows what's wrong and it can heal it.

Water only fasting can heal so much!

There is also dry fasting, but that is a lot harder. Good book is Oldest Cure in the World. Good luck!

Just Started the Candida Diet Protocol

Posted by San (illinois) on 06/16/2025

Just getting started on the candida diet protocol

I've been sick for over a decade, with many ups and downs, thinking I was getting better, only to fall ill again. This past February, I caught "the flu" with a horrible cough. In April, I got a rash on my lower left leg. I could see the hyphae pattern of the fungus. I was seeing a Homeopath who didn't really seem to want to hear that it was fungus and of course, he did nothing for me. I continued with the nasty coughing and then a rash broke out on my chest. It's now June, the rash is mostly better, but I'm still coughing --- and am having endless panic attacks. It's clear that I have systemic fungus.

I just started the candida protocol 5 days ago and have not found any relief - yet. I'm following the turpentine, borax, alkalizing protocol and the diet. I'm also doing colloidal silver inhalation treatments and on occasion, I spray hydrogen peroxide and inhale that. I'm taking most of the recommended supplements as I sift through all of the info. One thing I think the fungus has done is affected my eyes. It's very hard for me to read. There was an "injury" to my left eye 4 years ago and now my right eye is clouded with floaters. I'm scared, but determined.

I would appreciate any other suggestions to help my breathing and to regain my vision.

Thank you, San
