Discovering the Health Benefits of BHT: New Research and Findings

Been taking BHT 350 mg twice a day on empty stomach with a gulp of water. When I started my viral load was 5,200,000. This was June of 2012.S ince then the viral load has jumped to 8,100,000 in June of 2013. Since then my viral load dropped back to 5,300,000. That was in april of 2014. In July of 2014 my viral load dropped to 2,900,000. First time my viral load has improved since taking BHT. It has been over 2 years to see an improvement. I'm having another viral load test done in October. I hope my viral load goes down some more. Maybe 2 years is what it took for the BHT to kick in. I also quit eating so much sugar and honey. I hope this gets to Oscer on the bht remedies section. DavefromMidland

Hello Nigerians, I found a company that sells BHT to Nigerians. Here is a direct link to buy BHT from them:

http://www.lef.org/vitamins-supplements/item17137/BHT-Butylated-Hydroxytoluene.html?source=search&key=bht

Now this is " The Life Extension Foundation ". I spoke with a staff member of LEF. She told me she knows of NO reason why you can not purchase BHT from them. The price for non-members is $ 16.50 US dollars for one hundred 350mg capsules of BHT. Now you will need a credit card to buy it or have a friend who will let you use their credit card.

If you join LEF and become a member you can buy the BHT for $12.38 for the same one hundred 350mg capsules.

Here is some more information about LEF along with a phone number if you have any problems:

Nigeria is not listed on the countries with restrictions http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Shipping/Shipping-Information.htm? Do recall there sometimes being problems with credit cards from that country. If you were informed that they couldn't buy the product from us, you are welcome to contact Customer Service 1 800 678 8989 or http://[email protected] to find out.

So I very much hope this resolves this problem for Nigerians. I do recommend you start out with 1/2 of a capsule for at least a few days to make sure you have no problem with using BHT. The capsules are easy to pull apart. Then just fold the remainder in a piece of paper for the next dose. Also: I very much advise taking BHT with water only on an empty stomach for best results.

Also: Please report back to the EARTH CLINIC and let me know if this works out for you people. Also: You people need to boil any water you drink to ensure it is safe to drink. The same is true for everyone because so much of the entire world`s water is no loner safe to drink unless it is boiled first....Oscar

Quick follow up to Nigerians: There may be other payment options for buying BHT from Life Extension Foundation. Such as a BANK CHECK or MONEY ORDER if you do not have a valid credit card. You can speak with a customer service representative at: 1-800-678-8989. This is a good company. If you don`t screw them around they will sell the BHT at a good price. I have purchased BHT from them for many years. It is a good product based on my experience with them. So this should solve this problem. I still do not know what the problem was to begin with. There are NO trade restrictions regarding Nigerians buying BHT according to the woman I spoke with. She does state there were problems with Nigerians and credit cards. So if you try and scam or cheat them with invalid credit cards don`t blame me or them. I do know most Nigerians are good people but I have learned there are some Nigerians who try and scam people. The same is true of some Americans so I am NOT judging Nigerians per se. As far as I know there is NO reason you can not buy BHT from LEF. If you want this BHT do NOT try and screw them around with invalid credit card numbers. It is up to you to establish trust with these people by being honest and using valid funds. I went to the trouble to find a retailer for you. Don`t make me live to regret doing so....Oscar

Dear Leanne from Australia, The BHT works very well for all types of herpes virus, genital and non-genital. Many thousands of people have been using it to treat herpes successfully since at least the early 1980s. It [ BHT ] works best if taken with water only on an empty stomach. Also: keep this treatment simple for best results. Do NOT be using other supplements. The only supplement I consider OK to use with BHT as an anti-viral is a standard multivitamin and mineral supplement. I ran a BHT CURES group for about two years and keeping the treatment simple is what works best based on the substantial feedback I received. As far as how long it takes to truly CURE a herpes infection: It is different for each person. Usually at least 2 or 3 years. The results are often immediate, within a few days the sores disappear. But, if you stop taking the BHT the outbreaks reoccur. This BHT does not cost very much. About 40 to 50 dollars a YEAR or less. Also BHT has been proven to extend the average lifespan of mice by as much as 50%. That is because BHT prevents cancer and viral diseases if used in sensible dosages. No more than 500mg of BHT per day for most people. The less you weigh the less you need or desire. And the more you weigh the more you need. The same is true of any medicine. The reason is obvious and needs no explanation. There is MORE or less of you depending on how much you weigh. Also because BHT acummilates in fat tissues, lean, thin people need less and fatter people need more. For a person who weighs 125 pounds or less about 250mg of BHT per day is about right. You may have to play around with the dosage a bit to learn what works best for you....Oscar

Dear sexymom from Nigeria. Do YOU know what the problem is? Why Nigerians can not buy BHT? Is there some reason why your government will not allow BHT to be sold to people in Nigeria? I do hope your leaders want to have their people healthy. BHT seems to be the ONLY antiviral that is affordable for most Nigerians. I truly do NOT know what the problem is.

I do NOT know the political situation in Nigeria. I do HOPE that the USA president Obama cares about Nigerians. He is of African decent. I do hope it is NOT the USA that is the problem. You tell me because I do NOT know.

We peoples of the WORLD have to find ways of getting along with each other or spend our lives fighting each other....Oscar

I took food grade hydrogen peroxide 35% for 6 months drinking it with distilled water. It has made my genital herpes type 1 WORSE. I now have symptoms everyday. I am thinking of taking BHT but want to know how long must I take it for to see results? Also do I need to take it forever?

Please, we Nigerians are really in search for a supplier that will deliver BHT to Nigeria, all efforts to buy on net have been abortive. Immediately you input a location in Nigeria that the product should be delivered to, you instantly get a message "Product cannot be delivered to this location". I have even tried several times on Amazon as Oscar advises, it is still the same "sorry we cannot deliver to this location".

Please, I have been suffering from hepatitis b for some time. Please how can I get BHT for treatment and cure. Please I will be happy when you get back to me.

Just wanted to add to Oscar's post that anything that gets you out of doors is beneficial. You get sunshine, your interest is attracted by nature's scenery--all of this takes your mind off your pain. Even in the city, people watching is diverting.

Dear Art, I have never forgotten you. As far as treating hepatitis C goes: Keeping the treatment simple is what works best. But you have two other serious conditions that cannot be ignored: neuropathy and diabetes type 2. You can`t go wrong with drinking distilled water and doing moderate exercise. Both are important along with a healthy diet.

Is there some sport such as fishing you enjoy? Hiking and bicycle riding are really good for you. Bike riding is actually kind of exciting and hiking enjoyable. As corny as it sounds: Bird photography can add to both as far as enjoyment goes. Just bring a decent camera along with you.

We are about the same age. We both have to find real things that make our lives enjoyable. Sitting around and feeling pain is not good. Finding activities that keep us physically active that we enjoy is vitally important. It is all too easy to fall into self destructive depression at our age. I see it happen to so many people, myself included....Oscar

You're right Oscar.

I am dealing with Peripheral Neuropathy and Diabetes #2 which is the result of interferon. Just google the side effects and see for yourself. It saddens me to think there are still people who will take that stuff as prescribed by doctors whose only concern is money. The BHT at 350mg per day on an empty stomach lowered my liver enzymes and gratefully cured my brain fog and flue like symptoms. Now I can eat chicken without feeling like I am getting the flu, and I thought it was my sister's cooking. LOL.

Now at this time I take R+ALA for the PN and Chanca Piedra for the pain in the lower lobe of my liver on my left side which by the way started after my biopsy back in 2002. Today I am having a good day but there are some bad ones where energy and stamina are very low. My Alt is 55 AST 51 GGT 32 because stupid me had to get a shingles vaccine out of worry. I am sure my numbers will drop some more if they can find a vein to draw blood from. There are few who can and now they are no longer there. I do appreciate Oscar for all his suggestions and hope he can put all his wonderful info in one column.

Having a good day. Art.

I do appreciate

Try Amazon.

Dear Indian from Andhra Pradesh, There is this here online retailer of BHT that claims a worldwide distribution of BHT and other products. This company believes in BHT as a treatment for viral infections and provides a lot of information about BHT along with selling it: https://www.lifelinknet.com/siteResources/Products/BHT.asp

Interestingly they have come to similar conclusions as mine as to dosage. For most people: one or two doses of 250mg of BHT per day seems to be what works best for most people as a treatment for viral diseases.

I recommend starting with one 250mg of BHT for one week. If no adverse reactions are experienced start taking two 250mg of BHT per day. One dose in the morning and one at night with water on an empty stomach. If you weigh 130 pounds or less the one dose per day may be all you need to get this hepatitis B infection resolved, cured. To get truly cured takes at least 2 years of daily dosing with BHT as I described or recommended. I hope this information helps you. Please report back to this forum with your test results. Also keep this treatment simple. Do NOT take a bunch of other supplements. Many compounds react with BHT in a way that makes the treatment NOT work. The only supplement I think is OK to use with BHT is a standard multivitamin and mineral supplement. MANY compounds will screw this treatment up including: milk thistle and vitamin B supplements. Drinking grapefruit juice also makes the treatment NOT work. Those statements are based on years of feedback from people using the BHT treatment....Oscar

My LAB report said that I have been infected Hepatities B antgen reactive results. and report results: reactive(3360) and says it is positive. Please advice me what. I am in India and how to get the BHT for the illness.

Zark, recently I've been having luck with Papaya Leaf Tea for Canker Sores (mouth ulcers).

Mouth Ulcers Gone :-D

I used to have a lot of trouble with mouth ulcers, this was an ongoing issue for 10years or more. Anytime I bit my lip or cheek, or even just a minor abrasion to the lining of my mouth, and I would be guaranteed to get a mouth ulcer. Tried the usual antibacterial type remedies such as topical peroxide, iodine, bicarb, salt, rinsing with alcohol. That stuff didn't work for me though. In the end my ulcers turned out to be caused by a virus (maybe a strain of HSV), and a potent anti viral called BHT worked for me - from what I read it only works for lipid-coated viruses (fortunately the majority of viruses are lipid coated! ). I took about 500mg of BHT twice a day and that fixed it. And by fixed I mean I'm practically cured, as I don't need to take a maintenance dose of BHT to keep the ulcers away. 500mg worked, but maybe 250mg would be fine too, but I know that taking 1000mg in one dose was too much for me to handle as I would get some pains in my tummy (possibly liver struggling to metabolise it).. That only lasted an hour or so.

What is B H T and where do I get / purchase it ?

Dear Janet from Colorado, There are many online sellers of BHT. Here is a good one. This company sells the 250mg capsules of BHT at a good price. I highly recommend starting out with no more than one 250mg capsule of BHT with a gulp of water and on an empty stomach. For thin or lightweight people 250mg of BHT per day may be all that is required. Here is a link to this company that sells the 250mg capsules of BHT:

http://www.lifelinknet.com/siteResources/Products/BHT.asp

See my detailed treatment protocol here:

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/viral-hepatitis-treatment-by-oscar.html#OSCAR

PLEASE post in this EARTH CLINIC forum your results with the use of BHT. You did NOT mention what disease you wish to treat with BHT. Will you do that for me and the other forum members....Oscar

Can you tell me where you can purchase butylated hydroxytoluene? I would really like to try it but don't know how to get it. Thanks, Janet

Dear Jennifer from, Albany New york. You do not state what disease you are or are considering treating with BHT. I have never claimed BHT is a treatment for peripheral Neuropathy.

I am going to assume you are considering or using BHT for one of the viral hepatitis diseases because is mostly what I discuss. Hepatitis often leads to some degree of peripheral neuropathy. We have had at least a few members in our group discuss it.

I recall an " Art from Vancouver " discussing BHT and PN at length in this forum. He had hepatitis C and had undergone the peg-interferon + ribavron treatments without success and much damage to his body including PN. For him the BHT seemed to help a lot with PN. Now you need to start with the lower dosages of BHT and find a dosage you are comfortable with. We have had many success stories from people using 250mg to 500mg of BHT per day. Lightweight and thin people seem to do best at about 250mg of BHT per day.

Here is a link to our group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/THE_BHT_CURES_CHAT_GROUP/info

If that link does not work: Google: THE BHT CURES CHAT GROUP. Once there click JOIN THIS GROUP and follow the instructions ...Oscar

Dear Oscar, Have you had any feedback from anyone with your BHT protocal with regards to Peripheral Neuropathy? Is it safe to use with that condition? I have tried to go on your yahoo site but can't seem to get on there. I am a computer novice and will keep trying. Thank you.

Hello India, Here is a company that claims to be a world wide seller of BHT:

https://www.nutri.com/index.cfm/product/31/bht.cfm?gclid=CPyt4KSTy7sCFTNp7AodLUsAmA

Also there are companies in India that make and sell BHT. I am NOT sure if they sell to people living in India or not....Oscar

You can buy on obey online on it work there is no drought....or if you have friend in USA they can buy in health food store...or gnc

Dear sir,

I am Om from Nepal and have been suffering from Hepa B since one year. I have already tried all herbal medicine which have been finding out in India for hepatitis B but I am not getting good response, instead my Hbsag titer is increasing day by day. I have decided to go through this medicine and follow all the precuation as suggested by Oscar.

I am from Nepal so it has been difficulties to find out BHT in nepal. So, could you please provide me some information so that I can order online. And another question, my weight is 53 kg, what does would be perfect for me. If I take 250mg per day, would it be better.

Waiting for your response! Thanks Om

How long did you take BHT before you noticed results? I noticed BHT is in rogaine and most every other hairloss topical and even pills.

I 2nd the above...thanks Oscar for your valuable info!!!

Oscar,

So sorry to hear that you will no longer be our #1 advocate for BHT. You have helped so many people here who were facing sometimes rather dismal futures and have given hope and healing where only decline seemed to be approaching. Thank you so much for your wonderful protocol and the sincere effort you have made to reach those in need. You will be missed, but we hope you will still drop in when you can. Take care and best wishes always.

I am no longer available regarding BHT. But this need not be a problem. For those interested in the BHT treatment there is the REMEDIES TAB HERE:

https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/BHT.html

So, if you are interested in the BHT treatment for Hepatitis C and B and other viral diseases the information is available for you. I will post MY recommendations regarding BHT here once again:

Weight is an important factor in determining dosage. Fat content of a person`s body is another. Generally the more you weigh and the higher the fat content of your body the more BHT you need to effectively treat a viral infection. Many average size men have done very well with 250mg of BHT taken twice a day. If adverse side effects occur and persist, LOWER the dosage of BHT used. That is the treatment.

Supplements that have been shown to work well with the BHT treatment are:

1. A regular type multi-vitamin and mineral pill once a day.
2. A regular type vitamin B complex pill.once a day.
3. Vitamin B12 in a dosage of 1mg [ milligrams ] per day. 1mg is the same as 1, 000mcg { micrograms ].
4. Vitamin C in a daily dosage of between 500mg and 1, 000mg per day.
5. The lipid monolaurin. Unsure about dosage.
6. The herb chianca piedra seems especially helpful in treating hepatitis B. Unsure of dosage.
7. Sodium selenite in a daily dosage of 50mcg [ micrograms ].

Also, and importantly: Continue taking any doctor prescribed medicines or drugs. Very many of the people who have had dramatic improvement with this BHT treatment are taking a doctor prescribed medicine of one type or another.

SUPPLEMENTS TO AVOID. Do not take:

1. Milk Thistle and it`s extracts. Degrades the treatment to the point that it no longer works.
2. Grapefruit juice. Degrades the treatment to the point it no longer works.
3. Colloidal silver
4. Hydrogen peroxide taken internally. Hydrogen peroxide is a REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES. It will make the BHT treatment NOT work.
5. MMS [ Miracle Mineral Supplement ]. MMS is chlorine bleach, a very powerful oxidizer that will react with BHT in such a way as to make the treatment not work.
6. Vitamin E supplements. Yes, you NEED some vitamin E. But a normal diet provides plenty. Vitamin E supplements have been shown to enhance lipid coated viruses ability to replicate and should be avoided for that reason.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For best results, stick with those supplements I listed that have been shown to work well with the BHT treatment. Vitamin B12 is an especially good one.

That treatment works consistently well based on the substantial feedback available....

My VERY BEST to all forum members and especially the dedicated staff here at THE EARTH CLINIC....Oscar

Ok, I have started with 200-250ml morning only. At first I felt more energy, less pain. By third day, some of the anxiety talked about as possible side effect. I have reduced to 200mg morning only. I will stay with this awhile, and when I feel "stabilized" I will try to reduce the valtrex. Also taking monolaurin and Vit B's. I will post my progress. Thanks!

I believe this would be a Herx reaction. In which case the immune system is busy cleaning up all the viral particles that have been wiped out.

Perhaps the immune system is picking up on the viral particles floating around in your body now that most have been disabled and cannot infect new cells. In other words it may be akin to a Herx reaction.

Dear Louisa from Chicago, Because you are using VALTEX I assume HV2 is one of the Herpes viruses. I have have NO way of knowing how well BHT will work with VALTREX. If YOU choose to try using the two together I can only advise doing so with care. By that I mean starting out with low dosages of BHT. Those BHT capsules are easy to pull apart. So you can start out with half or less a capsule of BHT per day and see for yourself how the two work together. If no advese reactions occur you can work up to one capsule of BHT per day. And from there you can go to the larger doses of BHT [ two capsules per day ]. Just be careful and see how the two work together for you. Valtrex itself is known to cause headaches for some people. Side effects of valtrex are discussed here:

http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-14126-Valtrex+Oral.aspx

Trying to help, ...Oscar

I am struggling with HV2 and want to start BHT to see if it woud help. It feels it is in all of the nerves in my spine especially cranial nerves, so I also get migraines. I am on high dose of valtrex (2g per day) but if I try to lower the dose the flare up is unbearable. Do you have any suggestions about being on VALTRX and trying BHT?

Has anyone had serious side effects from BHT?

This is Oscar and I am asking people using the BHT treatment to report in to this forum and let us know how the treatment is working. I hope you are using the BHT as recommended by me. Keeping it simple and NOT mixing it with other treatments. Here is my updated recommendations:

BHT treatment as recommended by Oscar is:

100mg to 350mg of BHT taken with water on an empty stomach once or twice a day. The dosage varies for each person. Weight is an important factor in determining dosage. Fat content of a person`s body is another. Generally the more you weigh and the higher the fat content of your body the more BHT you need to effectively treat a viral infection. Many average size men have done very well with 250mg of BHT taken twice a day. If adverse side effects occur and persist, LOWER the dosage of BHT used. That is the treatment.

That is the treatment that works consistently well based on the substantial feedback available....Oscar

So, like I said: If you are trying the BHT treatment report in and let us know how it is working....Oscar

I was massaging with BHT and oil and took a bath. About an hour later, I was sweating (especially palm and bottom of my feet) crying and anxious... I knew this was detox symptom. And then I remembered I just bought kosher collagen. and they say collagen reduce anxiety.

It did. I mean right away.

I will probably be easy on BHT. I used about half cup massaging my body. Obviously it was too much.

In trying BHT, I also figured that maybe I was dificient of collagen. No wonder I suffered arthrities in the past. Thank you all who posts here.

I appreciate your sharing. I will also update the progress..later. Good luck.everyone.

Rob on the Colloidal Silver/ Grey issue:

And no one else responded to my general "challenge" to describe what process was being used by someone who has argyria. That was my point. And you also talk about another neighbor you have who uses the electrical system and has no problem.

My argument is, we hear of argyria cases and I can never can get an explanation on how they are incorrectly doing it.

One part per mission is like one inch in 12 miles. I do more than that but the miniscule amount cannot cause a problem. Now if I drank a cup of concentrate daily... An amount you could actually see in the glass container and drank that every day for months, then I could see how that concentration... 100,000 parts per million perhaps, how that amount could cause argyria.

Thanks for responding.

Hi that 'Smurf' fella your on about was not 'Smurfed' by Colloidal silver, but by his own stupidity, he made Silver himself, with too big a particle. Then to make it worse, he added salt, you're not suppose to put salt in it, and the 'Pharma Harmer's' paid him to parade his idiocy in public to scare people off using it, and them losing billion's as it's an amazing cure for a legion of illnesses that Pharmacutical Drug's will never equal. Million's of us, or maybe billion's of us, have used it for years, and Hippocrates was using it all that time ago, and year's before him it was recognized for its wonderful healing powers. I drink it, use it externally, put it in my eyes, under my arm's as a deodorant, brush my teeth in it, use it in every orifice of my body, wash and sterilize load's of thing's with it, so why don't I look like 'Smurfette'? And Hospital's use it to sterilize operating theatres and as dressings and spray's on severely burned people, it is the only thing the Medical Community agree kill's M. R. S. A, plus a whole host of cancer's. Antibiotics can only kill two hundred and odd bacteria strain's and no Viruses, and they are made from Mold. CS kill's over six hundred bacteria, viruses, mold, fungus, the list is never ending, parasites, etc. I have mentioned this before. And if it were true about Argria, why is there not Billion's of out sized 'Smurf Community's' that were once Human's?, next you'll believe that Zombie's are real, but I am beginning to wonder this myself about some people. Love Andrea C xxxx

Hi Dave and Oscar xxxxx

I am going to add my ten cents here also. Bicarb when given to birds and rats will blow them apart in seconds due to the rush of oxygen it supplies to their body, but it doesn't do it to humans or any other species that I know of. What's to say the web page you read is not Pharma scare tactics? You don't sell a product to bankrupt yourself by putting a negative statement up with it? Instant Bankrupt? And its been known for a long time pharma and supplement companies pay the lab workers to get rid of dead ra's and put live ones in the Labs so it gets passed as 'Safe for use'??? I too would like to see more solid evidence on this, I admire you greatly Oscar, but it's a bit suspect to me, I am with Dave on this matter. And there are other posts like this on EC that look like their all reading from the same piece of paper word for word. Love Andrea C xxxxxx

Dave, I no longer see the man with Argyria in my neighborhood so cannot ask him how much he took to cause his condition.. Plus I would be reluctant to for obvious reasons.. But again, seeing him was enough to scare me away from the stuff. Making me realize it is real & possible. Also, I tend to respecet Andrew Weil's opinion & it appears he gives it a big thumbs down.. I did have a friend who had her own silver generating machine... & she never turned blue grey.. but for me the issue is, why take a chance and that there are many other germicides that are as or more effective.

Here is what Weil says....

http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA363388/collodial-silver.html

I'm with you on this one Dave. It is beyond common that "studies" and "reports" are biased and skewed towards self interest and maximizing financial profits. Facts & knowledge suffer the same problem not only in medicine, but now dominating politics (one can effectively lie thru deceptive statistics). Simply consider the complications involved in the (man made?) global warming issue. C. S. Has a long track record of efficiency & safety in human use. C. S. Is also a preferred antibiotic for pets.

The white truths are always compromised by the dark lies, and the consequence is that grey area that many people get bogged down in with no path out.

Dear Matalina from Spartanburg, You stated you had problems with BHT in the past. So if you choose to give it a try again do so with caution. Here is what I consider the standard BHT treatment based on the feedback available:

The BHT treatment is:

> > > > > 200mg to 350mg of BHT taken once or twice a day with water on an empty stomach. The dosage varies for each person. Generally, the more you weigh the more you need and the less you weigh the less you need or desire. Age is also a factor. People around age 60 have a harder time tolerating higher dosages.

> > > > > Supplements that work well with BHT are:

> > > > > 1. A generic multivitamin and mineral supplement.
> > > > > 2. Vitamin B12 in a dosage of 1mg [ milligrams ] which is the same as 1, 000mcg [ micrograms ] per day.

> > > > > 4. One vitamin B complex pill per day.
> > > > > 5. The lipid monolaurin. Not sure of dosage.
> > > > > 6. The herb chianca piedra has helped some people. Not sure about dosage.

----------------------------------------------------------
> > > > > Supplements to avoid:
> > > > >
> > > > > 1. Milk thistle and it`s extracts. It reacts with BHT in a way that degrades the treatment.
> > > > > 2. Vitamin E supplements. Yes you need some vitamin E. But vitamin E supplements were proven to ENHANCE hepatitis C`s virons ability to replicate and therefore vitamin E supplements should be avoided.
> > > > > 3. Any and all other supplements should be avoided until and unless I see evidence they work well with the BHT treatment.

These are MY recommendations....Oscar

So stop taking the fish oil, vitamin E supplemennts, and all of those other things that are not on my short list of supplements that work well with BHT.

Why not at least give that a try ? If it does not work you can always go back to that other stuff. I am very much hoping the keep simple method works as well for you as it has for many others....Oscar

Hello Oscar; Am responding to your assertion that colloical silver is poison. You cite a toxicology study conducted by a manufacturer of Colloidal Silver (CS). You do not name the manufacturer. You do not specify the report. So you assert a manufacturer published a report that impuned his own product. Fascinating.

I can go on line and come up with abstracts that make assertions about silver accumulation in the organs and what I find is that they are using silver as a compound or like one that was done for a Euasian Toxocology Journal... Chickens were given the silver in unspecified quanties from a POWDER. Imagine the PPM level of that.

You depend heavly on that unnamed and uncited "study" to describe Ag as poison. Yet by not being able to analyze how the study was conducted we do not know the validity of your criticism.

Electrolysis made silver diluted to less than 500 ppm will not accumulate and even critics of CS concede that fact. Only big Pharma want to frighten us into believing otherwise.

I've been on CS about five times weekly at the high PPM now for 20 years and what you describe as "poison" must be a slow killer. I feel great. (And have had four hair samples taken in past ten years with NO indication of even abnormal silver levels.)

Oscar, if you had followed your own advice and trusted Pearson and Shaw's admonition about not using BHT to kill viruses if related to liver issues, you'd called BHT a poison. (Life Extension Companion)

Fortunately, you didn't follow their warnings and you have helped many people who are being devestated by Hep B and C.

And is BHT part of the "Human biology"? You criticize Ag, one of the elements of the periodic table, for not being part of the human biology when we get microscopic amounts of Ag daily and does no damage at all and yet you are an advocate of BHT which is not an element and definitely not a part of the human biology and you assert is a Hep B and C killer.

And on the odd assertion that silver softens the heart causing congestive heart failure. Please cite a source for that idea. I've read a lot about CHF over the years in all its many forms; usually the extra pressure being caused by plaque build up, or water retention; and that excess causes the heart to enlarge and HARDEN because of the intense pressure it must exert to force the blood through a restricted opening (hence high blood pressure as indicative of heart problems). A recent Mercola explanation of why distance runners develop HARDENED hearts which is just what happens with congestive patients. I've missed the "softening" issue which you attribute to silver sofenting the heart to cause CHF. I've read perhaps a dozen causes of CHF but the softening one has eluded me.

I've read plenty about the heart muscle "streching" as it tries more and more to pump blood all the while never catching up... That's not "softening" so I'm not at all following what you mean when you equate the "softening" with CHF... and then say that silver can cause the same.

Please cite your sources so I can get better informed.

Hi Oscar, thank you for your candid and evidence-based view on CS. I respect what you have to say and appreciate your input. The more opinions we have on a subject, the better prepared we will be to make informed decisions. Thanks, again.

Oscar, I tried BHT two years ago and can't remember what I was taking at the time but do remember I was taking St. John's Wort, (hypericin?) which I'm not taking now. Now I am taking Vitamin C, Cayenne pepper, Bioflavonoids, Vit D3, Vit E, Vit B complex, Vit B12, Astaxanthin, Fish Oil and Armour Thyroid.

I take echinacea when I have an outbreak.

As I mentioned I did talk with Stephen Fowkes two years ago when I had the problem and he told me to stay on it and the reaction would clear up, but the reaction was so bad that I didn't want to take a chance he could be wrong and get myself in worse condition.

I really do want to try BHT again as I have quite a problem with herpes but am always responsive to natural remedies and believe it would probably work for me.

I so appreciate the time you are taking to answer questions.

Dear Rsw, Alright I will answer your question: Why do I consider so called coloidal silver a poison. It is an element that does NOT occur natuarally in human biology. I read a toxicology report that was included in some company selling colloidal silver as a portion of their patent application.

That toxicology report described the one toxicology test they had done. Ten young healthy rats were given the colloidal silver as recommended with dosage adjusted for the weight of these young adult and healthy rats.

After only two weeks on the colloidal silver treatment: Two of the ten rats so treated had discolored livers. One of those ten rats had softening of its heart tissue. This is called congestive heart failure. So out of ten rats so treated for only two weeks, three of those rats had observable signs of vital organ damage. The person who did this testing said the results were inconclusive.

This colloidal silver treatment does remind of the old salts of mercury treatments for syphilis. Those salts of mecury did work to varying degrees as a treatment for syphilis. But like mercury, silver accumilates in certain vital organs and damages them as that toxicology report clearly indicates. At least in my opinion it does. I am sure I will catch some heat for expressing my opiinion. So be it....Oscar

Thanks Oscar... I thought that it took a year or two for you to clear the virus... But am surprised to hear that it only took a month?... thanks for sharing.

Hello RSW: in re colloidal silver. 500 parts per million is plenty strong enough. My test for making sure it is a "for real" silver solution is just what you are now facing; a sinus infection. Just take enough in palm of hand to be about a teaspoon and sniff up sinus cavity on both sides. (Make sure it get deep into sinus cavity. ) You definitely have an infection so if this is a quality silver it WILL sting, especially on one side. Sinuses will begin draining in minutes and in five minutes you'll be breathing fairly well. Now, repeat the irrigation ten minutes later, leaning head back as silver drains down throat. The second time the stinging will be barely present. The infection is being killed.

Infection in the ears may be going on also so consider an application in the ear canals. The two (sinus irrigation and ear irrigation) will get to the eustacian tubes. I've had twenty years of experience with CS/ make my own and have personally seen hundreds of anecdotal stories so know quite well the results. Silver solution properly made will kill virus/fungus and bacteria if properly applied. Depending on the infection, repeated treatment might be necessary and sometimes for a long time. There are variables.

Hi Oscar, I respect your opinions very much, so I wondered when you say colloidal silver is poison, do you mean when combined with the BHT or you do mean in every circumstance? I just bought some yesterday and will not use it if it is not a good choice for nasal congestion. I bought 500 PPM but do not understand what that means in terms of use or effectiveness. Could anyone explain it in simple terms? Thank you.

Hello Rob from Manhattan, The subject title of this response is misleading because I first began using BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C.

You asked me why I started using BHT and stuck with it. My answer is because I was very sick and went to the VA outpatient clinic in Boston seeking help. The doctor gave me a physical examination and asked me if I had ever had blood transfusions. I told him I had many blood transfusions as a result of an old gunshot wound in 1968. He explained to me that I had jaundice and other signs of liver disease. He ordrered some blood tests and had me come back a few days later and told me I had hepatitis C. He told me they had this drug called interferon and that it helped some of veterans treated with it but only about 25% of them. This was in 1997 and they only had the first of the interferon drugs back then. He also said it made some veterans sicker and go bald. He ordered more blood tests and set up an appointment for a week later. I was unhappy about all this on the train ride home. I stopped in at a book store and they had a big dispay of Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw`s " The Life Extension Companion ". I bought the book and read up on the use of BHT to treat the different herpes viruses. They discuss BHT as a treatment for lipid coated viruses. They also warn people with liver disease to NEVER take BHT. Well I found out hepatitis C is a lipid coated virus and decided to give BHT a try as a treatment for hepatitis C in spite of their warnings. I figured it could not be any worse than this interferon stuff.

The BHT worked so very well for me I was showing signs of improvement in one short week. When I saw that doctor he said I looked much better and ordered new liver function tests and a hepatitis C RNA test.

Anyway, after only a month or so of this BHT treatment my liver function tests were all normal except one that was close to normal and I was testing NEGATIVE with the hepatitis C RNA test. The doctor told me his residency with the VA was over. I told him I felt well and had no reason for any more doctors appointments.

My treatment was one 200mg of BHT twice a day with water on an empty stomach. I also took a standard multivitamin pill and a vitamin B complex pill now and then. About every other day along with a 500mg vitamin C pill and an occasional sodium selenite pill.

For me the BHT treatment worked very well. The results astounded me. I sent a letter about all this to the CDC and THE AMERICAN LIVER FOUNDATION. The only response I got was a request for money from The American Liver Foundation. I called them and told them to never ask me for money again....Oscar

Oscar, I was wondering what got you to try and most importantly, stick with the BHT treatment to see through to success... I imagine much was less known when you started.. and most give up after a month or so... Also, I noticed a steady increase in reviews on BHT on the iHerb site... I very much appreciate the work you've put into this... as it will help many..

Matalina, That colloidal silver stuff is poison. What else are you taking ? The BHT treatment does NOT mix well with other treatments. If you choose to try a bunch of other treatments do NOT take BHT. Again: BHT does NOT mix well with many other treatments.

I am amazed at the number of people who insist on mixing all sorts of stuff together. A large part of pharmacy is all about avoiding mixing the wrong things together. Read the bottles and pamphlets provided with almost any drug out there and you will see that I am right about that....Oscar

To Matalina from Spartanburg: Some people do report a nervous disorder similar to drinking too much coffee when first trying BHT. Usually these problems go away within a week or two. But I always advise lowering the dosage of BHT used when ANY adverse effects are experienced. 350mg of BHT per day IS too much for more than a few people. If you wish to give the BHT another try it is sold in 250mg capsules. You can also try taking a capsule every other day. This dosage issue is something each person has to work out for themselves....Oscar

To Stephanie from Brattleborough: Yes there were and are people using BHT who also have neuropathy. Taking a regular type B-complex vitamin and vitamin B12 in a daily dosage of around 1mg [ milligrams ] which is the same as 1, 000mcg [ micrograms ] seemed to help with the neuropathy....Oscar

Thank you. I do use echinacea when I have an outbreak only but the virus continues to return whereas with BHT I have read it eradicates the virus after a year or two.

With colloidal silver I'm concerned about turning blue. I saw photos of the guy on the news who turned blue from using colloidal silver and died recently.

The nervous reaction I had from taking the 350 mg capsules was pretty bad. It was internal shaking 24/7 and I was also very sick. I took the capsules for four days and quit. I then contacted Stephen Fowkes who was kind enough to respond and even talked with him on the phone. He told me it was a metabolic problem and that I should up my intake of Armour Thyroid. I tried that but it made no difference, a fact I didn't relate to Stephen Fowkes as I felt it was useless. It took me a year to fully recover. Since I told Stephen Fowkes about it I am always surprised to read on the internet that no adverse reactions have been reported as I did report that reaction to him.

I may try to take a tiny grain of it to see if I can build up. Thank you for replying.

To Matelina from SC,

To answer your question; you are going to try again the BHT to kill the virus but the first time you did it you had a reaction and your question is... is there a way to take it such that there is no reaction?

Yes.

There is such a thing as building up a tolerance to something. So try a TINY amount of the BHT and just see. That's what I'd do anyway. Your first reaction was not life threatening was it? I did not get that from your post. So just try a few grains; the smallest amount you can... and with food so the BHT isn't hitting the system on an empty stomach.

By the way; there are other ways to kill a virus. I'm a big advocate of Colloidal Silver (high dose) taken over months to kill a system wide infection / echinacea.... Five drops twice a day for a month. Topical applications if possible of same.

Hello Oscar, I'm sort of new to this site. Do you have any people taking BHT for hepatitis c that also have peripheral neuropathy? Thanks much.

Oscar, Two years ago I took 350 mg capsule of BHT once a day for four days for the herpes virus. I had a nervous reaction to it so stopped after four days. It took me awhile to recover from that.

I would like to try it again and am wondering if anyone who has had this reaction has been able to take it at a lower dosage. If so, what would be the dosage to try?

I noticed a suggestion to break a capsule and touch the powder with a finger tip and try that for a reaction. If a reaction occurred when taking this small amount would it be as strong a reaction as with the 350 mg capsule? Or a lesser reaction?

I ask this because a pharmacist once told me that if you ever react to any medication you will always again react to it just as powerfully even if it's taken in a minute dose. Not sure whether to believe that as it doesn't seem logical.

Thanks.

Dear Ahenkora from Ghana: Here is a company that claims a worldwide distribution:

http://www.nutri.com/index.cfm/product/31_17/butylated-hydroxytoluene-bht.cfm?gclid=CNaYjOb9xLUCFQyg4AodHloAww

If that company does not sell to Ghana you need to google search for one that does. I hope that company sells to Ghana. If not you will have to find your own source for BHT....Oscar

Where can I get the BHT drug to buy? I need it ugently

Hello Rocio,

On the echinacea, use the liquid found in health food stores. It is a concentrate that is medicinal... Important to apply topically as well as four or five drops in water and that drink three times daily. A "tea" is not strong enough. Putting both the C Silver on topically as well as orally is the strategy.

I've made my own for 20 years and have found some producers make varieties that just don't seem to work. By way of example I had obtained a "super fine superior" CS and was experimenting with it in my sinus and a sinus cold actually started while I was using this "super" silver... The cold got worse even as I increased the dose and finally, after two days used my own home made version and INSTANTLY the infection was gone. To know if you have the most effective CS use the brand you have been using on.... Say on a sore throat... The brand of CS should knock that out instantly... After two "gargles"... if it doesn't then the type of CS being used is actually inferior despite the claims on the label being "the best" etc.

Oh, and about the echinacea, I've seen some writers who don't like the echinacea being used orally for more than a few months. But one book I read by a Doctor around the 1900s used it to treat spider bites had his patients drinking it (five drops in water) four or five times daily for six months made no mention of adverse effects from such heavy consumption.

BHT Works Best Taken With Water Only on Empty Stomach:

This is in response to a number of different posters. I have discussed this issue many times now. In my opinion mixing BHT with any oil very much degrades the treatment. For best results BHT should be taken with a gulp of water only. Do NOT mix BHT with any oil at the time it is ingested or anything other than a gulp of water.

My opinion is based on the results posted in this and other forums....Oscar

Hi. Thanks for all suggestions. It's just puzzling how 10 years go by without major problems and in 9 months my life has been turned upside down by this.

I've changed my diet since I started having frequent outbreaks. I used to be able to eat anything except peanuts and not have an outbreak. Guess I didnt kniw how lucky I was all that time. Now it's no sodas diet or not. Almost eliminated all sugar and bread. No juices. Just drink water with lemon for PH. I have been taking ACV 3 times a day in the last 2 weeks. 2-3 garlic cloves a day. Salads, fruit, Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, eggs, cheese, turkey, chicken, veggies.

I have lost 15 lbs due to my diet change. Used to jog but stopped for 3 months thinking it may be the cause. But started doing it again. Used to practice hot yoga and stopped that too thinking it was causing stress on my body.

Lloyd. I will try the CS. The one I took before was 250 Ppm from Natural path silver wings. I drink Echinacea tea 2 times a day as well as lemon balm tea. Like I've said before, I've tried it all. Spent so much money on it all and seen little to no change. I've tried all natural stuff and now trying BHT for a month and still having outbreaks. It's very frustrating.

My ob/gyn put me on anti anxiety meds thinking it may be the cause but how can I not be anxious when I keep having weekly episodes...

Thanks all for kind replies.

Hi, are you drinking diet sodas? Artificial sweeteners are a big trigger for cold sore breakouts. Once I eliminated them I stopped getting cold sores. You have to be careful though, soooo many products have artificial sweeteners hidden in them under benign names!

Hello again Rocio,

Thanks for responding to my post to your original post. I'd recommended Colloidal Silver and observed that you had occasional outbreaks over the years but now it is constant which led me to conclude that the virus is now systemic throughout your system. You commented back that you had tried CS for two weeks.

In my post to you I said it would take many months to kill a system wide infection. If you revisit my suggestion the amount of time for dealing with a system wide infection is a lengthy one and also I recommended echinacia, if I recall correctly. Both, CS and echinacea can be applied topically too. Finally, look at the ppm on the label. Make sure the ppm is sufficient. I recommend one of over 100 ppm. The ones that say 5 ppm, I have little confidence in.

Rocio, have you had a look at your diet, maybe there is something you are eating that your body doesn't like. Same with soaps, etc.

Thanks for your responses. Yes. I am on a supplements as well. Lysine, vitamin B12, vitamin C, Herpeeze which contains a whole bunch of things, olive leaf, oil of oregano, cayenne pepper for the neuralgia, multivitamin, St Johns wort, echinacea, Astragalus, ashwagandha. I was on monolaurin and lauricidin for 4 months and it didn't help. So I stopped taking it. Maybe should take it now that I'm taking BHT. Was on Valtrex 1- 2 grams a day and still having outbreaks, switched to Famvir and still the same. Tried colloidal silver or 2 weeks and didn't see improvement. Running out of options here. Hope that something works.

Hello Rob,

Maybe you could help solve a mystery of HOW those who have argyria made their silver. Or what is the source of their silver. Those of us who make our own are mystified at such cases. I've consumed my own for over 19 years... Often five times a week and my skin is very white. I've given hundreds of bottles away and never has anyone turned grey or blue. The old method was to use a silver spoon in a cup and then with tanic acid, the silver over a few days would break off. That would then be consumed. ("Blue bloods" is the term that was used to describe those who had money enough to own silver... Or "born with a silver spoon in your mouth" for the children who would be given silver spoons to suck on when an infection was about and whose skin was apparently effected by such consumption. ) The Greeks over 2, 000 years ago silver plated their food plates with it because they recognized the benefits of eating off such plates and silver coated goblets.

I do not even know anyone who has argyria nor have I ever seen one. You'd think with the hundreds of thousands of people who do consume CS that blue people would be everywhere. Universally today, pure silver "rods" are used... A little thicker than a paper clip and those attached to batteries or an outlet and in minutes a cloud of silver is broken off the "rods"... And that cup of clouded water is diluted until one cannot see the presence of any addition nor can one taste any metalic addition. The Parts Per Million would be about 100 PPM (100 atoms of silver to one MILLION molecules of water). And the silver "rods" I started with nearly 20 years ago... Are the same ones I still use. So little silver is used... microscopic amounts are what we are talking about.

So here is what I'd appreciate: Anyone who has argyria or knows someone with the stain, could you please enlighten us as to HOW they prepared their silver. It's sort of like complaining that too much water can damage you... So don't drink water. Yeah, too much water can actually kill you... especially if you are face down in it for a few minutes.

So PLEASE help... For those of us who know first hand how effective CS is... let us know how those who have been "overdosed" have prepared their mixture.

What I want to know is just how the ones who have argyria prepared their silver. Step by step and the amount of silver water consumed and if it was a compound that they actually consumed. Did they take it as a "cream" form? Where did they get it if they did not make it themselves? How long did they take it?... That is for a month; years etc. Please, every detail would help explain what happened.

Rob, could you talk to that person in your neighborhood and get some info as desired above. Thousands of CS makers would be grateful.

With regards to the colloidal silver.. Not to contradict your post, but please be cautious with this stuff.. There is a person in my neighborhood with Argyria, caused by an over use of colloidal silver. Seeing him on occasion was enough to scare me away from the stuff.

Hi Rocio... You may want to add Monolaurin to your regimen... also to kick up your immune system you could add Astragalus or even AHCC (expensive)..

I noticed recently that Dr. Weil has endorsed the use of monolaurin... Quote.. "Monolaurin is believed to have the potential to permanently inactivate the fat coated viruses that cause these diseases by fluidizing the lipids (fats) and phospholipids in their envelopes, leading to the disintegration of viral particles."

I noticed iHerb sells monolaurin .. & there is another brand ...Laura....n

Also, Lypospheric Vitamin C gives a fast boost to your immune system and is a good addition to fighting viruses.. Unfortunately, it too is expensive... (overpriced in my opinion, but I still buy it)

Hi Rocio,

HSV 1 as well as HSV 2 are viruses, of course. BHT may work well according to Oscar oft posted on Earth Clinic. But if no luck with BHT and your non-Hep B or C virus, then PLEASE try a STRONG (high PPM) of Colloidal Silver. (BHT appears to work well on Hep B and C.)

You can apply Silver topically to affected area AND orally on empty stomach. You need two tablespoons three times daily. Now that you are having constant outbreaks you can rest ASSURED that the virus is now SYSTEMIC. That is it is throughout your body. It will take six months to eliminate the virus completely, but be patient. I've seen many, many cases where systemic viral/fungal infections are reversed with CS.

Also, you need to be on the herb echinacea. Five drops in glass of purified water twice daily for a month. Like CS you can apply echinacea topically.

Echinacea is excellent for killing all kinds of infectious microbes and I've used it successfully for very bad spider bites for instance. Applied topically, I repeat the application on the site and then re apply twice every hour... Total three to five times in a day. Do this for up to three days.

Hi. I'm writing with a few questions in regards to the use of BHT. I have been using it for GH for about 4 weeks without much success. I have had GH for 10 years now and never had the need to be on medication except a month before delivering my babies (twice). This year for some reason I have had non stop outbreaks. It has gotten progressively worse in the last 4 months to the point that they seem to never go away. I only get one lesion internally which wasn't my usual breakout lesion. I am desperate. BHT hasn't helped at all. I have tried empty stomach with coconut oil. I'm currently taking pills. 3 a day. 350 mg. Started with one, then a few days later went up to 2, a week later 3. And still no sign of improvement. I'm not getting all the symptoms full strength most times such as the herpetic neuralgia on my right hip and leg (side of the lesion). I get no itch, just pain on the lesion. I have tried opening up a few pills and diluting them in the coconut oil during the last week but I still take a pill accompanied by a spoonful or two of the diluted mixture. I am a 36 year old female. 120 lbs 5'4". Don't have any other health issues. Recently got a physical and blood work did not reveal any deficiencies that could explain the constant outbreaks. Really need help. Any suggestions please.

The Bht Book By S.W. Fowkes is Free And Online...Yes, this informative book all about BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] is free and available online here:

http://www.projectwellbeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/BHTbook-StevenWmFowkes-100903.pdf

A very good read for those interested in the use of BHT to treat lipid coated viruses. Mr. Fowkes has written other books about all this.

Mr. Fowkes primary focus has been the use of BHT to treat the different herpes viruses but he does discuss BHT`s use as a treatment for hepatitis C and other lipid coated viruses.

The feedback available in this and other forums does indicate to me that when treating hepatitis C the BHT with water on an empty stomach works best. So, there is the link to this book by a man who has spent many years looking into BHT as a treatment for lipid coated viruses. He has been at this for far more years than I have.

I do ask any and all using the BHT treatment to report in here at the EARTH CLINIC with your results. No one seems to be doing that anymore....Oscar

How can l get BHT here in Lagos?
