I would like to say about Earth Clinic is, that it's like sitting in a chair waiting for your doctor visit for hours, and all the people you chat with and share insights with. You may not have a lot of insight, but you have a problem in common and that makes you part of a community. I am an overcomer, and you can't overcome unless you have a problem. Problems are opportunities, even the impossible ones, I have those, but I have faith. I did not feel smart most of my life but struggled a lot and my words are not very smart, but I try to share, just as I try to learn and recover. Love is the best cure for everything. Today is March 4forth, so I say to you, take back some land. Spread some love around. Perfect love cast out the stuff you don't want. Blessings, charity

CONGRATULATIONS to Deidre and her team, to regular contributors and to the many readers all over the world supporting Earth Clinic. We have done it!!! We regained our ability to protect from uninvited, detrimental influences to weaken our potential to continue sharing ideas and knowledge about protecting health and wellbeing. But let's not kid ourselves, many natural health information sites that I visited in the past are now difficult to find or no longer there. Earth Clinic might also come under attack and we need to be so vigilant. I feel strongly that all natural health promoting people, groups and organisations need to find their ONE voice (similar to me too# movement) to successfully hang on to our right to take care of ourselves in the best way we know. I am aged 76 and would have started something like that if I had the necessary skills and knowledge, unfortunately I don't. I hope with all my heart that others recognise the need for one strong voice and able/skilled to kick-start such a movement. Blessings of good health to all.


The Word Cure on Earth Clinic

Posted by Merry Nutrition (Greenville, MI) on 02/05/2022

Please remove the word cure from your website. Are you really trying to hurt yourself and the natural supplement industry? It is against FDA rules to call anything natural a cure. This is why there is a disclaimer on vitamin bottles. "This product has not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease". Natural products may benefit or support but NOT CURE. There may be 20 vitamins and minerals that are allowed to make a health claim. We are having a bad time right now with the FDA. They want to make supplements go through the EXPENSIVE drug evaluations.They are abusing the DSHEA Act of 1994. This was passed after a year long letter writing campaign to Congress and the FDA. They are trying to make Homeopathic products into drugs in spite of a 90 year old waiver and the fact that they are non toxic. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. David Kessler even refuse to establish the GMP guidelines required by the DSHEA while he was in office. The current FDA just approved a health claim for magnesium being good for lowering blood pressure but then turned around and said more research was needed to confirm the statement. They have been known to go to a company and remove a complete inventory. They took all of the CoQ10 from the Whole Foods company stores in Texas in the mid 90's and never returned it.

Hello Merry Nutrition,

Earth Clinic was started in 1999 and I started using the words cures in our URLs a few years after that when Google was in its infancy and nobody cared. Back then the phrase "natural cures" was extremely popular on the internet and so I made the decision to have it as part of the URL in the ailments section.

Unfortunately, we cannot change it at this point, because thousands of websites over the years have linked to these old URLs with the word /cures/ in them. They have been indexed on Google and the internet archives going back over 20 years now. For 18 months we did try to get rid of the word cures in the URL when we moved to another tech platform, WordPress, in 2019 and basically lost all of our internet traffic. So in the end, and after thousands and thousands of hours of hard work, removing the word cure didn't make any difference.

And anyway, these days, we're ranked very low on Google as are all the once-popular holistic websites. We used to be page 1 on most ailment and natural remedies results for years. Times have changed. The only websites at the top of Google search have a very large paid staff of doctors and nurses on their staff (ie healthline.com). I think we appear on average on page 29 of Google now!

Thank you for your concern!

First tip is baby wipes. You can wash out baby wipes to use for castor oil packs or poultices. Wash well, but gently, rinse VERY well and hang to dry. You can even buy dry baby wipes but I'd wash them anyway.

A good castor oil trick would be to wash and dry, put them back in the dispenser, pour castor oil over them and let them soak it up. Not to dripping consistency bur just to oiled capacity. Then you'd have castor oil packs handy all the time!

And you can buy a single yard of PUL fabric - as used to make diapers - and make either waterproof bandages or even sleeves (if you get the stretchy kind) or belly binders that you could simply pull on over a pack.

Also, I would hope those who research and explore natural medicine, have been saved money, or relieved of pain or saved from disability - or who have even saved their own life - would donate to this website to help keep it up and its caretakers safe.

A cheap way to get a couple yards of PUL fabric is to get a mattress protector. You can often get PU mattress protectors for less than 10 bucks and a queen size would yield 2 yards of 60" wide waterproof fabric. They're white but most are 100% cotton so you could give them an indigo or turmeric dip and make quite a few nifty little waterproof covers of them! Or let the kids decorate them with Sharpies! And because the PU is fused to the fabric it doesn't need to be hemmed. You could also make some longer, skinnier wrap and tie wraps - like Ace bandages.


Tools to Monitor Health

Posted by Uncertain (LA) on 08/30/2021

Tools to monitor health.

What do you use? What do you think is the most reliable? Do you know of any other options?

There are all kinds of apps and devices available to monitor one's health. I am researching these options right now. One of my doctors recommended the KARDIAMOBILE app. There is the FITBIT, GARMIN, and the APPLE WATCH. There are different tests available you can order for various issues, INSIDE TRACKER, TOOLBOX GENOMICS, VIOME and various Food Sensitivity tests.


Unanswered Questions on EC

Posted by Renee (Beachwood, Ohy) on 05/23/2021

Hello, as I skim through your website I noticed many people have asked questions years ago that are very good questions that I would also like answers to but no one has answered them. Will you please answer these questions if you are able and if not can you please direct that answer?

EC: Hello, can you please let us know which questions you are interested in?

Where to Find Information

Posted by Chaya (El Paso, TX ) on 06/09/2021

Hi thank you so much for your site and for the helpful information. I was reading the comments about the apple cider vinegar remedies; somewhere along there there was a comment by you, EC, to read up on your information on taking apple cider vinegar with baking soda for a proper pH balance, but I could not find where that information is posted. Would you kindly tell me where I could find that information?
