Re: Borax and Magnesium for Osteomyelitis
8 days agoHi Catherine,
That original post is 13 years old, so you may not get the answer you are looking for from that poster.
You might try buying an 8 ounce spray bottle of mag oil first, to make sure you tolerate the mag oil well and that it helps you. Save your spray bottle once it is empty, to use for your homemade mag oil. Here is a link to a typical mag oil spray :
If you tolerate the mag oil well and find it helpful then you can start making your own mag oil as it is usually less expensive than buying it ready made.
To make your own mag oil, you will need to by a bag or jar of magnesium chloride flakes which I will link to below. I make mag oil as follows. Add 4 ounces of distilled water to a one cup measuring cup. Now add magnesium flakes to the cup until the water in the cup reaches the 8 ounce line. Pour this whole cup into a jar or other suitable container with a sealable lid and shake until the flakes are completely dissolved. Once the flakes are fully dissolved, pour this mix into the original mag oil spray bottle once it is empty. This is how I make a 50% mag oil mix. Some commercial products are as high as 70%, but in my experience 50% works fine and has less chance of causing skin irritation. Here is a link to a typical jar of magnesium chloride flakes :
This jar will refill your original mag oil spray bottle many times!
One tip that I would offer to further reduce the possibility of skin irritation and make your product last longer, on your second application of the day, try just applying plain water over the area where you made your first mag oil application of the day. This will reactivate the mag oil that dried on the skin before it could be absorbed. This water application will usually offer similar pain relief and lessening of muscle cramping as the first application did. Doing this also reduces the chance for skin irritation as some people are sensitive to mag oil on their skin.
Keep us posted on your progress!

Re: DMSO and Saline in a Nebulizer
8 days agoI just used DMSO in my nebulizer, 12 drops to about 48 drops of purified water. I put the DMSO in first and it either settled to the bottom of the nebulizer cup (when I swished it, it seemed to come up the sides) or it BURNED itself into the cup. I hoped for compatibility, but ... is this a sign of non-compatible plastic in the cup? I'm now writing to the manufacturer to find out what I should have ... before. Ugh.

8 days ago
I started taking a 1/2 tablet of MSM and I had insomnia for three nights in row! I figured out it was the MSM. I'm pretty sensitive so I'm going to try a 1/4 of a tablet in the morning and see if that reduces the insomnia. I might crush up the MSM into a powder and add it to my niacinamide cream and see if a topical approach works better for me
Re: Borax and Baking Soda
9 days agoIt is interesting how so much thought goes into the acidity level of so many things these days! Something that isn't talked about much is the SNS and the PSNS! Whether our nervous system is in fight or flight or rest & digest determines what our bodies do with everything we consume whether food, thoughts, or words. We can recognize that in how we can eat something one time and have no problem and the next time we feel a reaction! To me that is why there is no one size fits all approach…we are blessed to be able to recognize what our body is telling us individually. Maybe we just haven't been taught to look in this avenue.
Low Iron Caused Blepharitis
9 days agoI truly hope this post reaches anyone who suffers from this eye condition. I had it for several months both anterior and posterior. I was miserable. I tried so many remedies but nothing worked. I was on a blrpharitis support group and just kept scrolling n scrolling until I saw a post that said; I had blood work and I was anemic. I took iron and my blepharitis cleared up in 4 days. I ran out and bought 25mg of iron bisglycinate praying it would work. It did!!! In a few days; my eyes were 50% better. I ran to my GP for blood work and asked for an IRON PANEL (very very important!!! ). My previous blood work said my iron was fine but what I found out is that routine blood work just tells u if ur Anemic not ur levels. I got a hard time from my DR but pushed and pushed u til she agreed. My iron was 27. Average should be above 50 and even better 80-100.
Even though my iron was low she cautioned me about dangers of taking too much iron and was not interested in the success I was having w my blepharitis n told me it was just a coincidence. BS!!! It worked! I took iron for several weeks, added higher iron foods to my diet and worked on healing my gut to be sure I was absorbing my nutrients. I think that was part of the issue (leaky gut plus severe stress)
Anyway, I'm wishing u all the best in ur healing journey and hope this helps someone out there. I have been blepharitis free for 6 years btw..
Re: Nebulizing with DMSO for COPD and Asthma
9 days agoRe: Internal Use of Comfrey
9 days agoTotally agree. People are so scared of natural herbs but have no problem taking pills that come with a 2 page list of side effects.
Comfrey has been used for centuries. The problem is people stopped trusting what actually works and started trusting whatever a company is selling.
Just make sure you get it from a good source like you said. That part is important.

Re: C. Diff
10 days agoHello,
As a Canuck/Pole, who moved to Poland a few years back, I have to say Poland has such great quality supplements, that it would be much easier to use a brand like Forest Naturals and/or Aliness, and use their version of oregano oil.
We have found they work wonders.
But I do understand the desire to try other ways. We used the coconut/oil method for a while.
Thanks
Chlorine Dioxide for Sinus Infections
10 days agoChlorine Dioxide for Nose
Chlorine dioxide proves to be an effective solution for addressing nasal issues, whether for temporary relief during a cold or for long-term sinus problems. This formula can be utilized for nasal maintenance and, in conjunction with chlorine dioxide Phase 3, for treating the flu.
Preparing Chlorine Dioxide Solution for Nose
1. Add 1 drop of activated MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) to 1 ounce of distilled water (or purified water if distilled water is not accessible).
2. Transfer the Chlorine Dioxide Nose solution to a clean eye dropper bottle.
3. The standard ratio for the Chlorine Dioxide Nose solution is one activated MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) drop to one ounce of distilled water.
4. The solution will remain viable for 7 days if stored in a cool, dark place. Create a fresh batch weekly, if needed.
Using Chlorine Dioxide Nose Solution
1. Lie on your back on a bed without using a pillow.
2. Place four to eight drops of Chlorine Dioxide Nose solution into each nostril. Allow some of the solution to drain into the sinus area and let it remain for five minutes.
3. Repeat the process for the other nostril.
4. It is normal to experience slight burning when introducing MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) to the nostrils, which should subside shortly.
5. Keep a tissue handy to manage any drainage that occurs when sitting upright.
6. Apply the Chlorine Dioxide Nose treatment three times a day until the condition is resolved.
Using Chlorine Dioxide as a Nasal Wash
1. Add distilled water (or purified water if distilled water is not accessible) to your Neti-pot. Also add Sea salt.
2. The standard ratio for the Chlorine Dioxide Nose solution is one activated MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) drop to one ounce of distilled water. Example: 8oz saline solution = 8 drops MMS.
3. Use Neti-pot as normal.
Chlorine Dioxide Antimicrobial Activity
Chlorine dioxide is frequently used to sterilize water and make it safe to drink. The maximum safe limit for chlorine dioxide in drinking water, according to the EPA, is 0.8 mg/L [7].
Chlorine dioxide gas can go through bacterial cell membranes and cause cell death in the pH range of 3-9 [4, 8].
In lab tests, chlorine dioxide was more effective at inactivating fungal spores than chlorine. It inactivated fungal spores by damaging the cell wall and cell membrane, thus causing the leakage of cell substances and eventually, fungal death [9].
In another study, a chlorine dioxide solution reduced 98.2% of bacteria and fungi in a lab test (E. coli, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, listeria, salmonella, Candida albicans, etc) [3].
Chlorine Dioxide MMS for Toe Nail Fungus
10 days agoUse of Chlorine Dioxide “MMS” for the Treatment of Onychomycosis (Nail Fungus)
Source (2006): https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2006088790A2/en
Abstract
A method for treating nail fungus by soaking the infected nail(s) in a dilute solution of chlorine dioxide in water.
It has been discovered that an effective way to treat fungal nail infection comes from applying chlorine dioxide topically, so that it penetrates the nailplate and inactivates pathogens residing in the nailbed— for example, by dissolving chlorine dioxide gas in water, permitting the patient to soak the infected fungal infected nail in the solution for a period of time and for a series of successive treatments to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nail, destroy the fungal infection and to promote healthy nail growth.
Therefore, in a first aspect the present invention is a method treating nail fungus comprising the steps of: preparing a solution of chlorine dioxide in water, and soaking the infected nail or nails in the chlorine dioxide solution for a period of at least 45 minutes, once a day for a minimum of three days.
In another aspect of the present invention the method incorporates soaking the affected nail(s) along with the entire foot, in order to destroy pathogens thereon and help prevent reinfection of the nail by pathogens residing elsewhere on the foot.
In another aspect of the present invention the method incorporates protecting the solution of chlorine dioxide and water from ambient light during the treatment to prevent premature destruction of the chlorine dioxide by photolysis. In another aspect the present invention comprises using a solution of chlorine dioxide in water containing a minimum of 80 parts per million chlorine dioxide as the treating agent.
Chlorine dioxide gas, dissolved in neutral-pH solution at ambient temperature, in a concentration of approximately 80-100 parts-per-million, was administered to several patients suffering from toenail fungus. The chlorine dioxide solution was administered as a "foot soak", under low-light conditions. Treatments were for up to 1 hour/day for up to 7 days. In each case significant improvement in nail appearance was visible early in the protocol or treatment process. New nails reportedly grew in normally within several months, with little to no evidence of the original infection.
Re: Internal Use of Comfrey
10 days agoI am with you. This is God's medicine and if you are getting it from a reliable source nothing to fear. Pharmaceutical medicine has done a job on many. Just look at the side effects, liver damage is one of them on all I have seen! God's meds has no side effects if you are taking it for the right thing and getting it from a reliable source. But there is many fake ones out there so be careful.
Re: C. Diff
10 days agoClostridium does not tolerate oregano oil. Just 10 drops are enough to kill it.
However, your eyes, mouth, and throat must not come into direct contact with oregano oil because it can cause burns.
The challenge is getting the oregano oil quickly through the mouth and into the stomach. Place 10 drops of oregano oil into a capsule, close it, and swallow it quickly. Three small doses per day are said to be enough to continuously kill all strains of Clostridium.
Another way to swallow it is to fill a spoon with coconut oil, add 5 drops of oregano oil, mix it thoroughly, and swallow it quickly. Then take a sip of olive oil or eat another spoonful of coconut oil. Do not drink water afterward.

ACV and Castor Oil for Prickly Heat Rash/ Miliaria
11 days agoNever had heat rash before so had to search how to treat it. Was red and widespread but no blisters. The internet said use aloe vera, and Earth Clinicers suggested apple cider vinegar or castor oil. So I applied all of them! Mixed ACV vinegar (raw with the mother) with aloe vera gel & applied first. Then followed with castor oil. Applied just before going to bed and woke up and the rash was almost entirely gone. Wasn't expecting it to clear so fast.
Re: Colloidal Silver
11 days agoOh, when there is money at stake, you can bet Big Harma will try to scare people off of natural healing modalities. And they have to legally when they're publically traded companies with stockholders.
Stories of "the blue man" circulated. This guy has blue skin, BUT he drank like a gallon of Colloidal Silver a day for a long time!, which was unfortunately brewed with salt to speed things up (do not drink this, ever! ). So he did 2 of the worst things he ever could've done! Big Harma made him a poster boy to scare people off of C.S. That man and his mistakes have made Big Harma hundreds of millions of dollars.
Side note: he never ever got sick or had an infection in the year he was overdosing on colloidal iodide (not colloidal silver).
Colloidal Silver is miraculous, plain & simple. I have saved dogs' lives at the shelter, as well as healed family, friends & even their pets with CS for years, and stopped my son's acne with it as well. If you use it as a mouthwash, be sure to swallow it and do not waste it.
Miconazole for Athlete's Foot
11 days agoMiconazole Nitrate 2% is finally clearing my 20-year athlete's foot
5 stars so far.
I've had athlete's foot on and off for the last 20 years. I figured this out on my own because I've tried literally everything: tea tree oil, vinegar soaks, other OTC creams, prescription stuff, changing socks constantly, the whole list. Nothing fully knocked it out and it always came back.
This is my first time using Miconazole. 2 weeks ago I started using Miconazole Nitrate 2% cream. It's OTC and I just grabbed the generic kind from the pharmacy. I apply it twice a day after a shower, making sure my feet are completely dry first. I get between every toe and let it dry before putting socks on.
What I've noticed in 2 weeks:
My feet are soft and not cracked, painful, or bleeding for the first time in years.
1. Week 1: Itching and burning calmed down a lot.
2. Week 2: The peeling is almost gone. Way less redness. No itching most days now.
My skin isn't 100% normal yet, but this is the best it's felt in 20 years.
I'm also rotating shoes, using antifungal powder in them, and being obsessive about drying between my toes after showers.
If you've been battling this for years like me, miconazole 2% is worth trying.
I'll update this post after I finish the treatment. Hope this helps someone who's as frustrated as I was.
