Hello, we're thrilled to let you know that desktop users can now search any ailment and sort all the posts in 3 ways:

1) alphabetically by remedy
2) newest posts
3) most loved posts on the page

Just click on the blue User Review button at the top of any article, and it will drop you down to a box where you can sort all the posts on that particular ailment. See screenshots below.

Give it a go, and if you have any comments or suggestions about the sorting feature and how it could be improved, please let us know!

Hello everyone,

Unless something happens where we have to retrace our steps, we will be moving over to the new platform this morning (Dec 31) so Earth Clinic may not be accessible for a few hours or more today. Sorry about that!

As I have mentioned previously, please be patient with us while we get up to speed in the next couple of weeks. We will have to deal with thousands of error messages from pages that have been renamed all over the site and other issues that will come up once we move over that will have to be addressed first.

To begin with, the site will be simplified. You will only have a REPLY button under each post. We will start adding components to comments one by one. But every time we add a new feature, we slow down the site, so we need to be very cautious about adding new components and do a lot of testing first. Also, you will not be able to login on the new site until after we have migrated user accounts in January.

Additionally, the latest posts page has to be created on the new site and we're not sure when that will be done. It's a programming issue.

Approved posts from November 2018 until now will NOT have been uploaded to the new site. No worries, we'll get them uploaded soon. However, every post from the main site from 1999 - November 2018 is uploaded.

Ted's site and our Q&A site will stay the same until we create new websites for those two sites. This means any questions from either of those two sites will not flow through the new EC site as they are no longer going to be connected. More problems for us to solve in the coming months.

Thanks for your patience while we get up to speed. If you are not on our mailing list, please send us an email at [email protected] and request to be added to it. We will probably communicate through email to our community with announcements.

See you very soon on the new site.

Wishing you a very happy and healthy New Year With MUCH LOVE.

Deirdre

P.S. We will most likely have a Latest Posts page set up for new comments as soon as we go live... woo hoo!

Wishing everyone in the US a very happy Thanksgiving weekend!

In a few days (or less, we hope), we will be shifting over to the new Earth Clinic platform. We want to give you ample warning that the new site is far from perfect and things will probably be chaotic for a few weeks while we clean things up and discover what's not working. Please please please send calming and positive energy during this time as it will be greatly needed for those of us working feverishly to move the site!

Kindly keep in mind that the site you are looking at right now has grown wildly without much trimming for almost 20 years. We are now putting it on a platform where it must be trimmed down, but in doing so we are going to look messy and disorganized to begin with. We have been in a major rush to move the site since we have been getting clobbered on google search results for months now due to faulty programming that has been glitching the site :(

Our first priority is to get things going on the new platform and reindexed by the search engines like Google. All of the existing pages will have new "modern" urls when we switch over. This means we will have to create thousands upon thousands of redirect links to point the old pages at the new pages. So please forgive us if you encounter a lot of "page not found" messages in the first few weeks. Our resources are severely limited and we are doing the best we can with the little help that we can afford.

For those of you that read the Latest Posts page every day... posts will probably be found on the home page of the new site within a few days after we launch it. If you don't see posts there, wait a few days and check again.

We will have an archive site that will have all of your accounts and saved posts, so no worries, you won't lose access to everything you have saved over the years. Once the new site is launched, we'll post a link to the archive site so you can access it. We will have to migrate active EC accounts in a few weeks. But again, we haven't had the time or resources to get everything done before this necessary move. Ted's site and our Q&A site will be changed over to the new platform in a few months.

Please be patient with us while we troubleshoot all the upcoming issues (of which there will be thousands, no doubt). Apologies in advance for the frustration you may feel at the beginning because of such radical changes. But give us a few months and we are certain EC will be a much better site!

If you need to contact us during the transition period, please email [email protected] or use the contact us form on the new site once we go live.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. It is greatly appreciated.

Book recommendation for those of you interested in brain chemistry and neuroplasticity... It's called: Susan Brown, a well known healer in Los Angeles. It is fantastic!

Review From Publishers Weekly:

"For years the doctrine of neuroscientists has been that the brain is a machine: break a part and you lose that function permanently. But more and more evidence is turning up to show that the brain can rewire itself, even in the face of catastrophic trauma: essentially, the functions of the brain can be strengthened just like a weak muscle. Scientists have taught a woman with damaged inner ears, who for five years had had "a sense of perpetual falling," to regain her sense of balance with a sensor on her tongue, and a stroke victim to recover the ability to walk although 97% of the nerves from the cerebral cortex to the spine were destroyed. With detailed case studies reminiscent of Oliver Sachs, combined with extensive interviews with lead researchers, Doidge, a research psychiatrist and psychoanalyst at Columbia and the University of Toronto, slowly turns everything we thought we knew about the brain upside down. He is, perhaps, overenthusiastic about the possibilities, believing that this new science can fix every neurological problem, from learning disabilities to blindness. But Doidge writes interestingly and engagingly about some of the least understood marvels of the brain. (Mar. 19)"
