Hydrogen Peroxide, ACV, Coconut Oil
Posted by Songbird (Monterey, Ca) on 03/04/2013 2 posts

Hello, I am trying new, seemingly beneficial remedies for whole body healing. I have been taking Apple Cider Vinegar daily for maybe six weeks now. Coconut oil for two and just yesterday received my 35% Hydrogen Peroxide. Every site has a little more or less information and I am overwhelmed. Generally topics are designed for one or another remedy not combined.

Am I potentially destroying myself with these? I just read not to take magnesium with H202--which I did yesterday as I had not seen that information until this morning! ... I think I diluted my H202 incorrectly-too much and don't have the math skills to fix it. Do I need to stop all OTC vitamins and minerals; do they get re-introduced or do we find that remedy (if works as hoped) will alleviate need for those. If I am sick, do I withhold additional Vit-C, Zinc and alike?

Does the ACV have a negative impact on my stomach lining when used (not at same time) with H202? and, does the coconut oil soothe the stomach lining to help if out of balance due to the other two?

I so appreciate any guidance and wisdom. I am alone with the family quietly thinking me nuts, but I am truly sick and tired of being sick and tired! Traditional medicine, well, I am guessing you know...

Hydrogen Peroxide, ACV, Coconut Oil

Songbird: The method to use is "start low - go slow". You want to take your minerals prior to meals, H2O2 drops fallowing minerals. ACV (i use tablets) and Coconut Oil w/ meals, vitamins w/ meals. Slowly increase to recommended doses and monitor results. On the H2O2 start w/ 2 drops per day and increase. Take vit-C away from meals and other supplements.

I have lately been seeing the need for antioxidant protection, so try and incorporate some, in time. Selenium, E, and A for starters. Everyone needs extra Omega 3 EFA's like Fish and Flax Oils. Iodine, starting w/ Kelp will help the Thyroid (mood and energy). Speaking of mood and energy (it seems like you need to up those levels) try Tyrosine and St John's wort (this should really help you).

Let us know how you're doing.

Well, this is follow-up to my original post in March. I did not mention that I have a nodule on my LLlung, that was the primary reason for trying the H2O2 remedy. Got the new results from most recent CT scan today. It is GONE!

I am not even done with the regimen. I ended up with the stomach flu and also had to land on same dosage two-days in a row from about 18-drops (could only get to 22-drops before the taste just plain overwhelmed me and headed back down the dosage scale) I was kind of nauseous most mornings after first dose for about an hour.

I have been in steady decline for several years with several things, I honestly felt that I was now in such decline, I was dying a slow death. Lung/bronchial infections, chronic fatigue and pain, a neurological disorder of my vocal cords (I was a semi-prof. Singer with perfect pitch) that, we believe began when I had my cervical surgery and, either a surgical tool rested on my cord/fold or the trache tube damaged it. We will never know. All I do know is that I have been progressively losing my voice and no longer able to sing professionally and every time I do sing, generally, laryngitis pursues me for weeks (months). I have not had a "normal" speaking voice for more than a week in almost two years. My singing voice was how I worshiped my Creator and expressed my heart on so many levels, losing it has been utterly devastating. Anyway... (sorry felt like you needed some kind of background for this next part)... Every time I took the H2O2 I felt a quasi, borderline burning sensation on my throat (not really burning, no other way to describe) immediately after swallowing. The interesting part is that it was not on the whole of my throat, the sensation was on the right side and similar to a puzzle piece shape-non specific. O. K. So, over the course of the month the size and strength of this odd sensation has dissipated, now more of a small spot. I sang Good Friday, rehearsal Sat. , Sun w/o any laryngitis, this week was similar for other gatherings, normally I can only sing every other week and then it is very fragile. Well, I have not gotten laryngitis or even felt weak! I am kind of fearful to post this as the timeline has been rather short to really verify but once I got the CT results combined with my inclination that H2O2 has possibly reduced the inflammation of the abductor fold of my vocal chords I was (am) too excited to not believe there is a connection and it is an answer to prayer.

I am so very thankful for falling into this site. Thank you! OH!!! So, my BP today was 120/70 after having gone up over the last two years to over 140/90 and I think that is thanks to Apple cider vinegar! Now, I will attack what I believe is a non-addressed (labs borderline, symptoms spoke plenty but MD's disregard me) thyroid component. I am so grateful for the input on this site. I am a happy girl and feel better today than I have in over three years. Less than two months since finding what I believe is saving me. Better energy, sleep, general well-being. Blessings on those who started and contribute their wise counsel.


Home Remedy and Supplement Combinations
Posted by Will_ashbless (West Chester, Pa, Usa) on 12/10/2012

Hi, I am beginning a new regimen including a powdered multi-vitamin (fruit antioxidant based with no iron), a powdered super green drink and a few other things. I get kidney stones and so I was told I should be taking a magnesium potassium citrate supplement.

I am very acidic to the point where a few times a year I will get the most horrible smelling and bizarre body odor. If I take my shirt off I smell great but the armpits of whatever shirt I had on will stink to high heaven. Almost as if the fabric is activated by the liquid from my armpit. Anyway when this happens I know I'm even more acidic than usual and I start supplementing with baking soda. This last time I just decided to keep taking it and I take about a teaspoon of baking soda daily.

So my question is if I now take this magnesium potassium citrate supplement will this eliminate my need for baking soda or can I (should I) still take my baking soda daily? I am also a bit worried about taking this supplement on top of a multi-vit containing potassium and magnesium already but the numbers for allowable daily intake suggest that I should be ok.

Thanks for your time in advance.

WARNING!

As posted at 11/07/2011 JD from Okc, Oklahoma. Are you not aware of the Deadly mixture, grapefruit and drugs. http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/grapefruit-and-medications-may-be-deadly-mix

As stated here.

Mixing the citrus fruit with the prescription painkiller oxycodone can lead to severe breathing problems, while combining grapefruit and the statin medication Zocor (simvastatin) may spark a potentially life-threatening complication called rhabdomyolysis, in which breakdown of muscle fibers can result in kidney damage of failure.

There are a lot more hazardous drug interactions at the link above.

I do not see a warning about this here so I thought I might bring it to everyones attention.

Take care. art 1a.

Grapefruit Juice and Meds

Yes it does and sometimes fatal interactions. People on statin drugs for blood pressure need to avoid drinking grapefruit juice. The number of drugs and types of drugs grapefruit juice negatively impacts are so many you need to go here to learn about that:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit_drug_interactions

Yes, I have read about all of grapefruits health benefits, But if you are taking any of these medications, it`s impact can be fatal. That list includes many pain remedies and tranquilizers. Most doctors do not know about this. There are other websites that state the list of drugs so effected is growing at an alarming rate. No one knew about this until a few years ago....Oscar

I don't know if most or all Medications come w/ this warning, but it is ALWAYS advised to read the "drug indications and warnings" before medicating.

Also, the Histamine 2 Antagonist drugs used for acid reducing like Zantac, Pepcid, and Tagamet have similar effect on Liver P450 detox enzymes, that is they INHIBIT.

The inhibitory effect of these substances on drug metabolism and detoxification causes the medication to remain in the bloodstream for much longer period of time, which also raises the level of medication. This is how the overdose occurs.

More on taking prescription medications with grapefruit (or other citrus) juices, I received one of my alternative health newsletters with the following information:

Grapefruit poses a potentially lethal health risk to more and more patients taking prescription drugs. The fruit contains chemicals called furanocoumarins that can interact with certain drugs, blocking their breakdown and so making them more potent. Adverse effects can include acute kidney failure, respiratory failure, internal bleeding and sudden death.

While it is well known that some patients should avoid grapefruit, or grapefruit juice, the list of drugs involved has risen sharply in recent years. More than 85 current drugs can interact with grapefruit, and of these 43 can have serious side effects, according to scientists writing in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Timh is right - find out about any interactions for your medications. Do as much research as you possibly can.

I am on arv's, 3 in one, once per day at night. Can I also take virgin coconut oil say after 12 hours.

Prior to taking arv's, I took about 3 tablespoons of cocnut oils faithfully every day for about a mnth and half. Unfortunately viral load increased dramatically and cd-4 counts dropped to very dangerous levels to 47. Now on arv's. Please advise. Thank you. Tupac

If you take an antibiotic for a tooth abscess is it harmful to take dry mustard for constipation? Can they be spaced about 1/2 hr. apart? Could there be some kind of conflict because someone posted they took the mustard as an alternative to antibiotics.

I would like feedback on what viewers consider the 3-4 most important daily natural routines they are doing. I am currently oil pulling with sunflower oil in the morning. I follow with 2 teaspoonfuls of in the mother ACV with 4 oz. of Aloe Vera. I cook with and add coconut oil on bread and just ingest some throughout the day. All this is used as a preventative. Any help on routines with quantities would be most appreciated.

I was just diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, acid reflux and gastritis. Waiting on biopsy results. Saw on this site the Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda regimen to use for acid reflux and I want to try it but I will be starting Aciphex tonight. Can I do the regimen WITH being on the meds?


Apple Cider Vinegar, H2O2
Posted by Susan (Blacksburg, Va, Usa ) on 10/03/2012

I am on the 11th day of the hydrogen peroxide therapy but would like to try the ACV diet also.... Can one do them simultaneously and if so, any specific instructions? Thank you, Susan


Apple Cider Vinegar and Medication
Posted by Sunny (Sarasota, Florida) on 09/20/2012

Some years ago I read a book written by a Vermont Dr. Jarvis. I followed the instructions to drink a mixture of apple cider, and water with my meals to help lose weight. I was very happy with the success I had.

But I have gained weight again in the past few years, and would like to try this diet again. However.. due to a heart problem, I have had surgery to place a stent in my heart, and must take Plavix (blood thinner) as well as 1 aspirin per day.

What I would like to know is if including the ACV back into my diet be safe along with the plavix, and asprin?

Thank You. With much appreciation, Sunny

What a wonderful site!!! Just starting having pain in knee (symptoms indicate athiritis) so have started taking ACV (Today). I also take hypertension tablets (enalapril and bendrofluthiazide) and take bisoprolol as apparently I have a diastolic dysfunction. Does anyone know if there are any contraindications of taking ACV with the tablets I am on? Rather not see Dr about knee pain as suspect will then be on jabs of some sort or other and tired of Hospitals!!


Borax, Lemon Water
Posted by Emmet (Alice, Tx) on 08/31/2012

Hi Ted, I was just wondering can I mix the borax with my litre of lemon-water? I was afraid it may interact with it. The lemon water is supposed to be alkalizing and it would make it both easier to drink and allow me to do two things at once. I usually drink lemon-water throughout the day anyway.

I have had chronic herpes for over 12 years and have tried so many treatments. Today I take 2 x 200mg Acyclovil everyday. I am now going to try Red Algae. My question is "should I continue with Acyclovil as well?" peace
