took a sitz bath with full bathtub up to waist, 1/2 a cup and maybe 2 o 3 spoons of baking soda organic for a UTI infection. At first I felt awesome, but in the evening, my vagina started throbbing, felt very sore. I also have vag atrophy, so I'm kinda scared, so now I can't sleep, I also am taking antibiotic I will wait couple hours if pain doesn't go away, bi will probably go to ER. HAS Any of you ladies had any reaction like this?

What exactly did you try? The SS First aid gel and immune support? I've been fighting this thing for a year. Lots of things have helped but nothing has completely cleared it. :(

Here are some relevant quotes from the study :
' Greater dietary thiamin intake demonstrated a statistically significant association with reduced incidence of ED. Our findings suggest that a lower intake of thiamin is an independent risk factor with ED. We can consider increasing the intake of thiamine in daily food. '
' We discovered associations between thiamin and several systemic diseases, all of which are also linked to ED. Therefore, we proceeded to further investigate whether variations in thiamin levels might trigger ED. We observed that an increase in thiamin intake levels did not show a significant trend of elevated testosterone levels. However, what we did find was that as thiamin intake levels increased, there was a reduction in the incidence of ED (table 2). Therefore, we proceeded to further stratify our analysis based on the severity of ED to examine the variations in the expression of these corresponding parameters. A key observation we made is that as the severity of ED increases, there is a corresponding decrease in the intake levels of thiamin. Furthermore, similar to the previous findings, as the severity of ED increases, there is a trend of decreasing levels of education and income, accompanied by a worsening of systemic metabolic disorders such as hypertension and diabetes (table 3). '
I found this third study quote to be very interesting as it suggests that low B1 levels is also associated with many other health issues suggesting that making sure you maintain healthful levels of B1 may go a long way toward fending off many health issues :
' We found that higher food thiamin intake was significantly associated with lower incidence of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and ED (all p trend 1.3 μg were 0.782 (0.651 to 0.940) (p<0.05). These findings suggest that dietary thiamin intake may play a protective role in the development of ED and other cardiometabolic disorders. Increasing thiamin consumption through dietary modification or supplementation could represent a potential strategy for ED prevention and management. '
To reach healthful levels of B1, the study suggests that even the lowest dose B1 supplements should be adequate to achieve the effects they saw in the study.

This post is ten years old and you may not hear back from the original poster, so I thought I would chime in. My family has used activated charcoal for decades. My favorite brands are Now, or Charcoal House. If you are using capsules, try 2-4 capsules 2-4 times a day. You will have to play with the dose to figure out what is best for you. Some people are fine with just a capsule a couple of times a day. When I have a severe gut issue, I will take 4 capsules every few hours.
You can also buy charcoal powder and take 1 teaspoon in water one to four time a day as an alternative to capsules.
Charcoal should be taken 2 hours apart from medications lest it reduce their effectiveness.

Greetings to EC and Everyone,
A few weeks ago, I decided to try Cat's Claw, I had read that it increases circulation. I have tried serval things many has helped, I recently started the leg scrubs, and enlisted green tea again, however that right leg was still swollen and sometimes more than other times. Green tea is an excellent diuretic; however, it worked even better when I began to take the Cat's Claw. About the second week on Cat's Claw my leg decreased in size, and my compassion socks were able to fit all the way up to my knees, the skin on my leg is much smoother now.
Life Extension has great info. about Cat's Claw.
https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2007/3/nu_catsclaw
I looked them up to see what information they had.
I do want to confirm that Cat's Claw is one of the supplements you start low on. I did experience a few side effects, I had a headache for about a week, so I added activated charcoal as EC suggested. I also had to lower dosage that the Now Brand recommended, and I skip weekends, because I began bleed like a monthly. I'm 74 so no way. May be that another polyp or cyst broke down. The bleeding lasted a few days and stopped when I lowered the dose.
One 500mg capsule was more than enough for me, my legs look and feel better. Also, you may want to wait and take this one when you get back in the house if you will be outside a long time. Once the diuretic effect kicks in it is a lot of water flow.

BORAX: B4Na2O7.10H2O, Sodium borate decahydrate
ALLEDGEDLY,
If humans have (2) kinds of blood: Iron Rich Blood (positive blood types) and Copper Rich Blood (negative blood types), then there should exist TWO standards for treatments. There is not a "one cure fits all".
BORAX, therefore, is only a suitable metal detox for bloods that are rich in copper and are RH-.
