MSM Side Effects - Raises Blood Pressure

Gracie (UK) on 12/21/2025
0 out of 5 stars

Hi, I suffer with pain in my hips and lower back, and my balance is not good. I'm pretty ancient and perhaps should accept that this is part of the aging process, but like all of us I want to live an interesting and pain free life. An MRI scan has been done, and it was found that I do not have arthritis. I think I've taken every supplement going to help with the pain and lack of balance, but to no avail. A few years ago I did try taking MSM, and at the time discovered it did not suit me, though cannot now remember why I discontinued it. This last week and a half I decided to take it again, starting with half a teaspoonful a day, but on checking my blood pressure I've had readings of around 167/87. Today I decided not to take it, and my BP had dropped to 130/80. Has anyone else found that MSM raises their BP? Half a teaspoonful is very low compared to some who take three tablespoonfuls a day or more, so I cannot understand why it should affect my BP so dramatically. I understand that it is very safe to take.

Re: DMSO on Hemorrhoids?

Hollyhock (America) on 12/21/2025

Keep the area clean with witch hazel and apply hexane free castor oil two or 3 times a day will give relief. I've read hemorrhoids are similar to varicose veins.

Borax Side Effects

I took recommended dose of 1/8 tsp in my coffee. By day 3 I had uncomfortable pain in both hips, by day 4 it was more uncomfortable to where I couldn’t sleep. I stopped and it’s slowly going away, I’m on day 3 of not taking…but I even have sensitivity to my skin where my hip joints are. Not only did I have the pain, I also felt so exhausted and tired. Any advice or suggestions I would greatly appreciate!

DMSO on Hemorrhoids?

Askingforafriend (Canada) on 12/20/2025

Wondering if anyone has used dmso for thrombosed hemorrhoids before? I have external and internal hemorrhoids and raw ones that will protrude outside my anus and bleed a lot when irritated. So I'm obviously very sick and tired of this. Has anyone got experience with using dmso down there? I'm concerned about the burning haha! And possibly the blood thinner part

New Study Suggests Melatonin May Be Useful For Atherosclerosis Prevention

Art (California) on 12/20/2025
5 out of 5 stars

The following new (December, 2025) study suggests that melatonin may work to help prevent atherosclerosis as discussed here :

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1567576925020089?via=ihub

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

' Melatonin inhibits the growth of atherosclerosis and the pro-inflammatory differentiation of macrophages by blocking the Sirt3-Drp1 pathway, which prevents mitochondria from fission. Melatonin's suppression of mitochondrial fission may be a viable strategy for postponing cardiovascular problems in atherosclerosis patients. '

This may be complementary to the anti-atherosclerotic effects of Nattokinase in humans that I discussed here :

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/high-dose-nattokinase-for-atherosclerosis.html

Why is this important to everyone? It is important because atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD is the number one cause of death in the world.

Mushroom Complex AHCC For HPV

J (Portland, ME) on 12/20/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Thought I'd add this to the list as I'm shocked it's not already mentioned! I'm just about 43, been battling HPV since my 20s and have had so many colposcopy's I've lost track along with a leap procedure and other more painful unorthodox procedures from gynos to try to rid my cervix of HPV. The only thing that has given me a clean pap is a mushroom compound called "AHCC." I tried it out of desperation a couple years ago after I got yet ANOTHER bad pap and the doctor was talking about taking even MORE serious measures. I found this company online called Wellex and their "AHCC" complex specifically for HPV. I took it every day for 8+ months and then had a clean pap! PERFECT! Then I stopped and it apparently came back. Funny enough, this gyno actually recommended I take it (she didn't know that's how I got my first clean pap). So now I'm back on it, although I'm trying a cheaper version off Amazon that's about half the price. I'm sure my next pap will come out clean and will probably take it the 4-6 months right before my pap every year to see if that finally keeps them clean. Hopefully this info helps someone else!

Re: Long Covid

Art (CA) on 12/20/2025

To update the original post on Long Covid, this newer study (October, 2025) adds further confirmation that melatonin is useful for this purpose as discussed here :

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12688923/

Here is a relevant quote from the link :

' Post-COVID syndrome (long COVID) is increasingly recognized as a state of chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, and multiorgan dysfunction. Emerging evidence highlights circadian rhythm disruption and melatonin dysregulation as overlooked drivers of persistent symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, and immune dysregulation. Reduced melatonin impairs cytokine suppression, antioxidant defense, and mitochondrial protection, fueling inflammation and oxidative stress. These disruptions, coupled with autoimmune responses targeting adrenergic and muscarinic receptors, exacerbate systemic pathology. Preliminary data suggest that melatonin supplementation and chronotherapy may restore circadian alignment, rebalance immunity, and mitigate disease progression, although robust large-scale trials remain limited. Integrating circadian science into therapeutic protocols may provide a novel avenue for improving long-term outcomes in post-COVID patients. '

Melatonin has shown this ability to realign circadian rhythms and now that the latest information is showing the importance of realigning the circadian rhythms in Long Covid/Post Covid Syndrome, this mechanism of melatonin is showing its value for this purpose and adding further confirmation as to the multiple beneficial health effects of melatonin for post covid syndrome.

Re: Iodine for Excessive Sulphur

Derek (Australia) on 12/20/2025

To Janette from Sydney Australia, thank you so much for the information of "Iodine balances sulphur overload".

I had built my intake of DMSO up to 20 drops in a glass of water each day and then suddenly broke out in hives on my arms and legs. It took me a while to make the connection of the DMSO and hives.

After reading your comment I commenced 1 drop per day of 3% w/w Molecular Iodine Colloid each morning. The hives slowly started subsiding over the following week so I stopped taking the Iodine for 1week to check that it was the Iodine that was helping, and the hives appeared to get a little worse.

I then continued with the 1 drop per day supplementation over some weeks until all hives had disappeared.

Apple Cider Vinegar for UTI

EarthSongSpirit (Innisfil Canada) on 12/19/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Hi, my name is Anne and although it's been over tens years since I posted about Apple cider vinegar and how it helped my cat. I am now back to let others know that it's also helped me. First of all, I didnt realize I had a UTI starting as I'm currently getting over a nasty flu bug thats going around. Anyway, I did notice for about a week that my urine was darker and strong smelling, but just thought it was due to being sick with the flu and taking otc cold remedies. Bottom line, today it showed up with blood and pain or urinating tiny amounts constantly. I was literally back and forth to the washroom like every five mins and less. Really awful and lower back pain too. :-(

Then I remembered my ACV so I immediately drank down a cup of water with one heaping tablespoon. Then half an hour later I drank another cup, again with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It only took about an hour before I was peeing nice long clear painless with no blood streaks. What a relief!!! I'm going to continue this for seven days to be sure it completely clears it up. I'll return in about seven days to let others know it turned out and how much I drank. It's now been a few hours and so far, so good. :-D

Fluoride Toxicity & Atrophy of the Gastonimus Muscles - Need Help

Bill (Philippines) on 12/17/2025

Hi Audrey,

Unfortunately, from the research, the human liver does not know how to handle or dispose of the fluorine/fluoride in the body.This essentially means that the liver will always store fluoride in the bones, teeth and fat of your body to keep it out of the blood. So all that fluoride that you took -- the majority of the fluoride -- will still be in your body now in the bones fat and teeth, which can also show as light grey streaks in your teeth if your body contains high amounts of fluoride or flourine.

And because of how the fluoride is stored for safety in your body I must also be honest and make plain that detoxing and completely removing fluoride/fluorine will generally be a long drawn out process -- it could take a year or more to completely rid yourself of fluorine particularly because of the fluorine that is always stored in the bones and teeth.

Iodine displaces and helps to remove fluorine from the body, so you should take the Iodine Protocol together with Dr Brownstein's sea salt protocol(1/2 teaspoon of sea salt once a day away from meals) which helps to remove the fluorine(and bromine) as well. You should also make sure to supplement the full Lugol's Iodine Protocol including ALL the recommended vitamins and minerals listed and shown in this link:

The Iodine Protocol

Some more useful information on iodine:

My Iodine Protocol(see the links at the end)

The Many Benefits of Lugol's Iodine

And here is a website that shows ALL the real benefits of supplementing lugol's iodine from the research:

Iodine Research Website

I'm a 75 y.o. guy who has been supplementing lugol's iodine non-stop since 2007. So I've been taking iodine for about 18 years and I have no aches, pains or any disease(so far!).

Last November I had a deepish flesh wound on my lower right leg and I went to the hospital to have my blood checked. The doctor insisted that I have a tetanus shot for my flesh wound which I had. From the results of the blood test, the doc also said I was quite healthy -- no diabetes, no heart disease, no arthritis etc. I put that result mainly down to my daily intake of lugols iodine.

When you start taking the iodine protocol, one of the jobs it does is to displace and detox bromine and fluorine from the body. LI is also a superb heavy metal detoxer -- it removes cadmium, aluminium, mercury, lead, arsenic etc from the body as well.

Fluoride Toxicity & Atrophy of the Gastonimus Muscles - Need Help

Art (California) on 12/17/2025

Hi Audrey,

It might be worth considering magnesium lotion and melatonin lotion (ML) applied directly to the calves/lower legs to try and protect against fluoride damage. Both lotions offer multiple mechanisms of action to counter the damage that fluoride can cause while also offering protective effects and potential reparative effects to the muscles. Here is a link describing how I make melatonin lotion and what it is helpful for :

https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html

Here is a link to a typical magnesium lotion product :

https://www.amazon.com/Magnesium-Lotion-Arnica-Boswellia,Magnesium-Relaxation/dp/B0FN3RJ53V/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=MTVWOXSJL0DV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._mWihisz6nX068a_Ihfc_uvh6buMZGzZyonCYFwPzf_KQuKJogaDIJUG5fOzqFl_rUtxYvsZCOqzlmaV9QxslV5_pkmE9fwm92rv4kWIDT9iGDAKhLrxQWijmPLf0ZTBmNnRlZJwIrH7agwzW5UbQhh3rHHDOo43aSM6-Zn4N43hkz-WalGF0LnvZ0DPzVUaNHpWo9BYws2k3mZCr4cO-xA76UWyUnXUtMccuVPqzVDkVnt1AL30TYzzEA3y9RQddLIf275bZ_N1tSrBLGKnVFrRlo33Ym7LGsZZ6sSFTmM.NKjrfignauj0PtEuMmyw-PUqLb59LclSuaD_fXMLgoM&dib_tag=se&keywords=magnesium+lotion&qid=1765993675&sprefix=magnesium+lotion,aps,218&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

Please discuss these with your doctor before buying and applying them to help determine if there is enough muscle tissue left to make it worth trying these two. Sometimes the muscle atrophy can reach a point where the muscles are not able to come back to any meaningful degree.

Both products are also useful for pain relief from multiple causes.

Please keep us posted on your progress.
