8 days agoMelatonin Lotion Question for Art
8 days agoHi Art
My dad says that the cream is making a difference so thank you so much. I am having difficulty getting him to use it sparingly. But am trying. Could I use aqueous cream, which is a very basic cream often used for babies, instead of Cetaphil cream?
Thank you
Re: Hashimoto's
8 days agoThere is a "Thyroid Support" by Terravita on Amazon for hyperthyroidism. Most are posting it works well for them, others not so much. It's pricey at $100+ and you have to buy all three bottles but that price covers all three. It contains lemon balm and other natural ingred, FYI. Good luck, I went through this and it was horrific, ended up losing half my thyroid. Was on a beta blocker for over 3yrs b/c of the heart issues. I wish this was available back then but it has been over 20yrs ago. My hair and body have never been the same.

8 days agoLemon Juice and Olive Oil for Constipation Relief
8 days agoOlive oil works because it lubricates the intestines. I take a shot of cold pressed olive oil I like Pompeian brand and then chase it with lemon juice and a bit of water after. It is also very important to massage your belly with any oil from up to the center across then down like an incomplete square. You can see an example on Youtube. I also say walk as much as you can like 2 miles and also do exercises where you move you belly like Bellly dance or Yoga that moves you belly. Try not to eat anything until you poop. This really works as you need to move the poop down thru lubrication and motion. Do it asap as constipation feels horrible!

9 days agoRe: Medications for High Blood Pressure
9 days agoI feel you. I'm 73 and female. I was taking the same medication but with Losartin plus Cardevelo, only to wake up between 2-3:00 AM with the sound of my heart beating in my head. The medication you mentioned that begins with hydra… had me feeling like a drunk out of sorts person that couldn't do anything but just sit still and the feeling would go away. I've been drinking the Apple Cider Vinegar which probably works about 30 minutes and then the blood pressure rises again. YouTube breathing videos help a lot.

9 days agoRe: Wondering About Ashwagandha and Other Remedies for NPH
9 days agoHi, since I became a "senior", I started taking ashgawanda powder in my protein smoothie, each day, for more energy, and a little for better sleep. It does seem to help. Several studies evaluated its effects on stress, anxiety, and cognotive abilities. "Significant improvements" were found. For my brain and heart, I use separately or together -- gingko biloba ("may improve blood flow to the brain and reduce dizziness"), hawthorn berries, coenzyme Q10, Vitamin D w/vitamin C, resveratrol (found in grapes), etc. For urinary incontinence, natural helps include -- horsetail, cranberry or pumpkin seed extract. Your Drs have a computer program that can find out what may or may not interfere with your meds. Hope this might help in your search. Enclosing healing prayers too. :-)
Re: Melatonin After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)
9 days agoHi cuffen,
I have never heard of Dr. Crandall, but I already addressed this severely lacking study here:
https://www.earthclinic.com/melatonin-side-effects.html#se_211459
I think Dr. Crandall might be better off doing a little research before parroting what is obviously a poor study.

Borax Treatment for Trigger Finger Not Yet Working
9 days agoHi again, Michele,
I forgot to answer your question.
You should be able to continue the oral versions.

Borax Treatment for Trigger Finger Not Yet Working
9 days agoHi Michele,
It is the ability of both topicals to reach much higher local tissue levels than their respective oral counterparts can that make them more useful for the purpose at hand.

Borax Treatment for Trigger Finger Not Yet Working
9 days agoThank you for that information. Because I do already take both oral melatonin (for sleep) and oral magnesium, do you think I should reduce the oral versions or eliminate them while using the topical treatment? I'd prefer not to cut out the oral melatonin, but I can certainly take a smaller dose. I'm not sure what effect the mag. oil will have on my total magnesium intake, though.

Crocus sativus L
Re: Knee Pain
9 days agoHi Art, You are correct, and I had forgotten, "retrograde ejaculation" is the medical term for this condition. And it seems most of the statistics for guys who end up with this problem post-prostate resectioning have had TURP. But I myself didn't have TURP. I had GreenLight Laser. I thought this technology was supposed to be a tad less invasive but it still caused the same damage a bunch of men end up with. I like your idea about trying melatonin lotion to find out if it can heal this surgically-generated condition. I had mentioned that I planned on using DMSO/aloe to make melatonin lotion for this. I'm thinking now though to experiment instead with emu oil instead of DMSO. Some parts of my body will tolerate DMSO while other parts not so much! And apparently emu oil has skin penetration (carrier) ability perhaps similar to DMSO.
Re: Long-term Use of Melatonin Supplements
9 days agoI, especially didn't pay any attention to the report I suspect was put out by Big Pharma. It's not the first time they've done this and won't be the last. It's to protect their massive gravy train since most people aren't buying into their nonsense that they are the ultimate gods when it comes to good health. Natural is the way to go unless you're in a life or death situation.
