Health Warnings

Hello Earth Clinic Editors,

I am wondering if it would be a good idea to have a Dedicated Section of WARNINGS about certain substances that could cause Health Problems in (some OR all) people.

For example, under MSG as a title one could list:

"Can cause Heart Rate Accelerations, High Blood Pressure or Palpitations in some people". They would need to avoid eating foods prepared using MSG, especially in restaurants, where they may be blissfully unaware of the preparation techniques possibly?

There could be many more entries other than the above - quite interesting proposition I would have thought?:-

2) Mushroom OR Toadstool?? Identification issues for the unwary!

3) Rhubarb Leaves - can they be safely composted?

4) Wear a mask when composting to avoid inhaling fungi etc

etc. etc.........

Just an idea for you to ponder upon!

This would aid poster investigations.

Always happy to help!

Cheers,

Michael from Down Under


EC: Hi Michael,

Thank you for your feedback! We already have a medication side effects page, a medical alerts page (where we have put this post), and an MSG side effects page where we put things like that.

Hi there,

The following is an interesting guide by the BBC on the history and possible contra-indications associated with eating Grapefruit if you are on certain medications.

Some of these have been discussed previously on Earth Clinic.

Cheers

Smallpox Protocol Anywhere?

ShawnMorris (Houston, Texas ) on 11/14/2021

It is my understanding that not 1 person under the age of 30 has any immunity toward smallpox. Is there a protocol to help protect against smallpox, specifically? I find it alarming that several prominent people have been referring to smallpox as an example of future "pandemics".

Beware of Energy Drinks

Mama To Many (Tn) on 05/17/2017

Dear all,

Another death from energy drinks.
http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/south-carolina-teen-died-caffeine-overdose-coroner-rules-n759716

It is sad that another young life is gone because of an overdose of caffeine.

Please be careful with caffeine consumption. Just because you can buy something anywhere does not mean it is safe.

Moldy Coffee Accepted in the USA

Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn) on 04/02/2017

HI U GOOD PEOPLE DOIN,,,,,, most on EC work their tales off to try and stay healthy while our U. S. government allows the moldy coffee to come in. I just learned this today and am pissed. So far I've contacted Life Extension and Community Coffee and ask them to send me a test of their coffee. Will not ask a test from the big boys because the are the guilty parties. It's the $ they are interested in. Moldy is cheaper.

This makes me want to cry. I try my best to eat right, only to be done in by our corrupt government. Would grow my own coffee if I could. I learned this today watching a Dr. Marcola U Tube interview.

Excuse my rant, but that's the way I am ......

Tattoo Toxins

Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn.) on 07/13/2016

HI U GOOD FOLKS DOIN,,,,,,,,,,,,, oldest granddaughter visited us last week. She is almost 24 and has been from can to can't. She had a basketball scholarship to a college and quit after one year. She is the typical millennial. When in HS she got a tattoo and that caused me grief, but I let is pass. On this visit she went down our water slide as she did 20 years ago. What I learned is that now she has numerous tattoos. We discussed the toxins in tattoos and I cautioned her to not get any more.

When she left, I researched the toxin effect of tattoos. It is not good.

I know we were dumb when young, but I don't think we were as dumb as what's now coming down the pike.

Beware of GMO Sugar

Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn.) on 05/27/2016

HI U GOD FEARING PEOPLE DOIN,,,,,, got a good ATS to tell. Maybe most of you are aware of this scam, but I was not. We try to diligently avoid GMO's . Today, I got my come uppence.

We went across the dam to buy a flat of strawberries to freeze and put up a batch of cherry jelly. I was helping my Tractor Driver as best a man can in the kitchen.

Anyway, she brought out a Walmart bag of sugar. It said on the bag, Pure Sugar. That seemed strange because all my life I remember the term "Pure Cane Sugar". I read the nutrition label and it only said " sugar". As all know I's SJS, so my mind got to reeling and I called Walmart in Arkansas to make sure there is no GMO beet sugar in this bag.

The lady was very nice and helpful. She said she would have to look up the code on the side of the bag. I gave her the code and she said the sugar was from both cane and beets. I then told her that we had shopped Walmart for 50 years and quit buying their meat and produce several years ago. Now we would stop buying any eatable product made for Walmart. I told her that she was just the messenger and I would give her an excellent for her help.

I then e mailed Walmart corporate and told them the same. This was not just a happenstance. This was contrived to deceive. If they try to deceive you once, then that is their modus operandi. Do me once.... shame on you. Do me twice ........ shame on me.

I then discussed this with my Tractor Driver. She is to no longer try to save money on food that we eat. She is to shop for quality only. She was raised up humble and that will be a change for her.

We will no longer buy any food product with this company's label. My suggestion is to buy only sugar that is labeled organic or Pure Cane Sugar. That way you avoid the GMO Beet Sugar and health problems.

No GMO seeds or plants are allowed in the EU, but Bayer, a German company, is trying to buy out Monsanto. Got some stuff going on.

Beware of GMO Sugar

Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn.) on 05/27/2016

HI U GOOD FOLKS DOIN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

My tractor driver was putting up cherry jelly and I reacted to the sugar she was using. It said Pure Sugar. In my 79 years I would swear the label was always Pure Cane Sugar. I then read the label and all it said was that it was sugar. I called the company and from the bar code they told me that this sugar was a mixture of Cane and Beets. Cane sugar is not GMO, but Beet Sugar is. All on EC understand GMO's and the immune problems they cause with your gut flora.

We will no longer buy any food product with this company's label. My suggestion is to buy only sugar that is labeled organic or Pure Cane Sugar. That way you avoid the GMO Beet Sugar and health problems.

Zika Virus Conspiracy

Robert Henry (Ten Mile , Tn) on 02/03/2016

HI YA'LL, , , , , , , , know you have been following the Chipolte restaurant saga. The CDC can find no e -coli in their foods. Mike Adams suspects that they are being sabotaged by the bio companies because they went to "no GMO foods" and even had in your face advertisements like, " GOMer it ".

Next we have the Zika virus which was a project of the wealthy elites. They released these mosquitoes in Brazil. This just happens to be the site of this summer's Olympics where people from all over the world will be there to take this virus back home. Is this just happen stance?

Here is the health ranger, Mike Adams and his take on this.

EC Should Be Preventive Health Site

Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn) on 08/24/2015

HI U OLE PATOOTS DOIN, , , , , , , , , , ,

Got some troubles and it's got me to thinking after reading Mark's post about Borax and it's benefits and tribulations. Folks come to this site to learn about specific solutions to their problems, but I got another idea. Why don't we all get together and inform healthy folks how to stay healthy and avoid these trials and tribulations. I have a few ideas and most of you do also. I have tried to do this with my garden posts. It all begins with what you eat.

We all know about ACV, Borax, H2O2, Colloidal Silver, Magnesium, Water, Sweat, Sleep, Alkaline, Exercise , Breathing, Lymph flow, Detoxing, Cleansing, Baking Soda , and many, many others that will avoid illness. Let's tell these stories.

I bet Sweet Thang, Deirdre, would jump on this with both feet. We need a health site for folks to inform their neighbors how to avoid all these ailments we constantly talk about. Do these things and stay healthy. Then if stuff happens, this site will help them. First, lets change our mission.

I say all this because I constantly try to get our kids and grand children to do things to avoid health problems. EC has not done that and I think it's time. Let's get this site into a pro-active mode instead of being re-active only.

I can tell you that Mama to Many tries hard to keep her kids healthy, as do all. We just need to change our priorities. I bet folks will buy in.

Recent Deaths of 3 Alternative Health Doctors

Rebel (Usa) on 07/10/2015

Hey all, just wanted to post a concern about the people that help us without using big pharma. I know our Ted has suffered some issues, I hope he was not a target of someone, I do know he was jailed not long ago and I don't put anything past the establishment. Bill Thompson may want to give Earth Clinic a ( TRUSTED CONTACT ) other than himself. As far as that goes there maybe several here that need second trusted contact.

I have had my encounters with government ( Though it was not because of natural medicines, it was something else they don't want people to know about and not something I can or will reveal here ) I can tell you that they will stop at nothing to shut you up, if they don't want you talking about it.http://www.conspiracyclub.co/2015/07/11/3-alternative-health-doctors-found-dead/

Re: Ebola

Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn.) on 10/15/2014

HI U BIRDS DOIN, , , , , , , , was with a bunch of bright folks today while getting my last Alpha Liopic Acid I.V. and the Ebola subject came up. Several things I was not aware of. First the Ebola countries are loaded with high dollar minerals. We talking trillions. All of a sudden the IMF says they will contribute a few hundred million if they can get their hands on that gold mine.

The World Health Organization has confiscated the loads of Collodial Silver shipped to help these people. Why?

Good people there is a bugger in the wood pile (PC version). Everyone is looking for a conspiracy. We may have found one. The phrase , " follow the money" works most times and it may in this instance.

My advice is follow the bankers and their religion, then you will know if this is a contrived crisis. The tin horn Dictators have kept the bankers out of their countries up to this point. They now may have been out flanked.

Re: Another FDA Debacle

Tony (Tn, Usa) on 03/11/2014

Hello fellow EC members. In the following article, the FDA is trying to actually ban a B vitamin from being sold in supplement form. Guess why? So, the vitamin can ONLY be used in prescription drugs. Are you serious FDA? This is just puzzling to me. It's a vitamin for Pete's Sake's. Oh well, here's the article link: http://www.anh-usa.org/fdas-sneak-attempt-to-ban-another-b-vitamin/

Re: Labelling of Supplements & Meds

John Catmull (Trang Thailand) on 03/04/2014

Hello EC,

Don't know if this is your cup of tea, it’s not only relevant to supermarket stuff but to all pharmacy meds and health food. Also don't know if EC is interested or has a legal eagle who thinks it's worth running with. Whatever – here it is.

Is the label on a food package, packet, box, bottle, a contract between the manufacturer and the purchaser? If so, does full disclosure apply? Is the following a good definition of ‘full disclosure’?

Reveal, show, uncover, make known.

Is this a legally acceptable definition?

My final query is – isn’t failure to provide ‘full disclosure’ a criminal offence?

If so, consider the millions of products on shelves in all countries.

Regards, John

Are You Pill Popping Your Way To Poor Health?

Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 01/19/2014

Are You Pill Popping Your Way to Poor Health? Adverse drug interactions are the 4th leading cause of DEATH in the USA. What is the difference between a drug and a supplement? None. The designation drug or supplement is totally arbitrary. Both tend to be compounds that have potent effects on a person`s body. The problem is: Many if not most people fail to consider how the different supplements interact with each other. Many seem to believe the more you toss into the mix the better. For one thing: They ALL have to be processed by the liver, Also, mixing even two of the wrong ones together can cause severe problems. The more reactants you mix together the more unpredictable the results....Oscar
