__ACID REFLUX
___Bitters, ___Zn 50mg/1meal/da, B<___RiceBran, ___TMG, ___BetaineHCl
http://medcapsules.com/forum/showthread.php?tid___2632Acid reflux is usually due to a lack of stomach acid, which leads to an overgrowth of stomach yeast. When we are younger our acids produce sufficient stomach acid to control yeast growth. As we age though, stomach acidity naturally declines. This helps explain why as we age we develop more nutritional deficiencies, and get more frequent heartburn [since acids are needed to digest nutrients].
... Overgrowth of yeast in the stomach leads to heartburn due to fermentation from the yeast. This fermentation leads to the production of carbon dioxide gas, which creates the bloating. The gas also produces pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscle at the upper end of the stomach. Like other muscles this muscle can get tired. When the LES tires out from fighting the pressure the LES relaxes allowing the gas to escape up the esophagus. As the gas goes up the esophagus traces of stomach acid are carried with it causing the heartburn.
... when taking antibiotics, women can develop vaginal yeast infections. The reason for this is that the ___flora that inhabit the vaginal cavity produce lactic acid to maintain slightly acidic tissues, which yeast cannot grow in. Since the antibiotics kill these bacteria, they also lead to a shift in the pH of the tissues to the alkaline side leading to an overgrowth of yeast. If the stomach becomes too alkaline the yeast can come up from the intestines in to the stomach increasing fermentation and [acid] reflux.
- There are several things that can be done. In Europe digestive ___bitters are very popular for treating heartburn. These are bitter tasting herbs, usually sold in liquid form since they must come in to contact with the tongue to work. Bitters work by stimulating the bitter receptors on the back of the tongue. This in turn stimulates a nerve, known as the vagus nerve. This in turn increases the production of stomach acid, bile secretion and pancreatic enzyme secretion. Bitters also have a cleansing effect on the liver, and the bile increasing effects make it useful for dissolving cholesterol based gallstones. Since bitters do cleanse the liver it is important to drink a lot of water throughout the day when using them.
- ___Zinc can also help since it is a catalyst for the formation of hydrochloric acid for the stomach. The recommended dose is 50mg daily with a large meal.
- B vitamins are also essential for the formation of stomach acid. It is best to get these from foods such as ___rice bran, ___oat bran, ___watercress, ___seaweeds, or ___nutritional yeast. Otherwise a ___B50 complex twice daily with meals can be used.
- ___Trimethylglycine (TMG) can also be used to increase stomach acid formation. TMG is a strong methyl donor. Methylation is required for the production of many substances in the body including stomach acid, neurotransmitters, hormones, etc.
- The final option is ___betaine HCl, derived from beet leaves. Betaine HCl is very acidic, with a pH of 1. So it needs to be taken with food already in the stomach. Although, I do not believe in substituting for the body's own job long term since it can become dependent on the substitution. So Betaine HCl is best used occasionally.
- Caffeine, nicotine and mints should be avoided by people with chronic GERD as these can relax the LES causing more reflux.
- Hiatal hernias can also increase the risk of reflux by constricting the stomach
- The whole liver flush thing using olive oil, lemon juice and magnesium is a fraud. Those soft, green squishy balls are not really gallstones but rather saponified oil ("soap stones") and cholesterol-sterol complexes formed between the ingredients in the "flush" and the bile in the intestines. If real gallstones are present these [so-called] "flushes" can force a real gallstone in to the bile ducts. If the stone gets lodged in the ducts this can lead to pancreatitis and can require emergency surgery.
- The stomach has to reach a certain acidic pH to release its contents. So reducing acidity would also slow gastric emptying.
__ADRENAL FATIGUE, ADRENAL ISSUES, LOW ADRENALS, LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
Eighteen Overlooked Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue
http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1816874__ADRENAL ISSUES
_Adrenal dysfunction does increase the need for ___vitamin C by the adrenals. Since the adrenals get priority of vitamin C over the entire rest of the body this means a lack of vitamin C going to other tissues. Blood vessels are one of the tissues that suffer from the lack of vitamin C leading to a loss of structural proteins, which in turn leads to the varicosing (The loss of collagen causes them to varicose). Foods and herbs high in natural vitamin C can help with the varicose veins. ___Papaya, kiwis, berries, acerola, rosehips and amla are all good choices.
_If you are peeing the water out then you absorbed it since the water cannot reach the kidneys without being absorbed.
_Still sounds like an adrenal issue that is affecting your aldosterone levels. That would explain why sodium is causing the water retention while the increased potassium would cause more dehydration.
_Have you tried other ___adaptogens to support your adrenals? For example, ___licorice root and ___schisandra berry? Both of these also support the kidneys.
_The dry eyes and mouth - Hyperthyroidism can cause these.
_Skin is getting softer ... and ... hair is ... beginning to grow back....
_The hair loss would have been from the thyroid as well. But adrenal dysfunction can adversely affect the thyroid.

Therefore the adaptogens help to reduce the over release of cortisol from the adrenals. ... The nutrition your adrenals need [are] Vitamin C and pantothenic acid in particular.
_Nettle leaf is milder, but excellent for so many things in the body. It is also a good vitamin C and B vitamins [energy] source.
__ADAPTOGENS

https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1839654_Ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen, a class of herbs that help lower cortisol levels, enhance immune function, and reduce anxiety, insomnia and depression. “Adaptogens are herbs that help the body and mind adapt to physical, emotional and environmental stressors.... Adaptogens work on many body systems at once, including the immune system and nervous system. ... In some cases, they can be energizing (but not necessarily stimulating), and in other cases, they can be calming (but not necessarily sedating)."
_... Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) ... exerts an anti-fatigue effect that increases mental performance, particularly the ability to concentrate, and decreases cortisol response to stress in patients with fatigue syndrome.6 Rhodiola also helped reduce mental fatigue in students during the stressful period of exam week.7

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1771218#i_Natural sources often have more stability. This includes pantothenic acid, which is why I like pollen for adrenal support. Pollen is the highest herbal source of pantothenic acid. As far as pantethine I do not know of any natural sources.

__LOW ADRENALS, LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
Because taurine can lower blood pressure I would go with glycine instead, which is also inhibitory and treats anxiety. Glycine is also a great healing agent. Recommended dose is 500-1000mg 3 times daily at least 30 minutes before meals.
_Hydrocortisone leads to bone deterioration and since it atrophies the adrenals it can contribute to even more inflammation if you try to go off of it. NSAID pain relievers can contribute to joint deterioration leading to increased pain in the long run. Weak adrenals though can increase inflammation, which is what arthritis is. Arthritis literally means inflammation of the joints. Weak adrenals also adversely affect the immune system contributing to autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Schisandra berry and jiaogulan would be good choices for adrenal dysfunction.
__AIDS, HIV, D: HIV TESTING FRAUD
HIV is very easy to eliminate
http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1488465#i1HIV is a leukemia virus. Both pau d' arco and andrographis have long histories of effectively dealing with leukemia viruses. I have personally seen several AIDS patients turn around in days by using pau d' arco alone.
_The reason I add chaparral is traditional use of pau d' arco is to add yerba mate', which is a sulfur source. The sulfur increases the antiviral effects of the pau d' arco. But yerba mate' itself is not a very effective antiseptic. Chaparral on the other hand not only supplies the sulfur, but it is also a very strong anti-viral, antibacterial, antifungal, immune stimulant, and is the strongest natural antioxidant I have found. Chaparral also helps to prevent cellular division of cancer cells, which is important since cancers are also a hallmark of AIDS. Therefore I find chaparral to be a better choice to combine with pau d' arco than yerba mate'.
_The full range antimicrobial and immune stimulatory effects of these herbs is also important for a very simple reason. AIDS is not a disease, it is a syndrome (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Syndromes are not diseases, they are groups of symptoms. This means that there is more than one cause of AIDS. In fact HIV cannot cause AIDS under the original definition. The definition was changed to fit the virus after Robert Gallo, who had already been busted for scientific fraud, had lied to the world again by claiming that HIV was the cause of AIDS. As the top scientist for the CDC Gallo was about to embarrass the US government AGAIN, so they had to find some way to cover up Gallo's newest lie. Therefore the definition of AIDS was expanded to include the drop in CD4 counts, the ONLY thing HIV can do. So why did Gallo lie? Because he held the patent rights on the HIV antibody test. As long as he could convince the world of his lie he was making a fortune. And the world was looking for an answer at the time so people readily accepted the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, and the government was not going to admit to covering up Gallo's lie allowing hundreds of thousands to die based on his lie. So the cover up stuck.
_For the above reasons AIDS must be addressed with full range antimicrobials and immune stimulants to address the microbes that can cause AIDS and to counter the AIDS-inducing effects of the drug AZT and its analogues.

__ALCOHOLISM
https://www.curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1865759_The easiest thing to do is to cleanse the liver with bitters and support it with B vitamins so the liver can do a better job of metabolizing the alcohol.
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1704797#i_Yes, kudzu root as well as glutamine will curb the desire for alcohol.
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1705361#i_But if we put aside the alcohol question, are there any herbs out there that can boost confident and maybe also calm you down a bit. My mum would really need that as she uses alcohol for that purpose.
_For calming I would use either the herbs ashwagandha or the amino acid glycine. Some people also find gotu kola to be calming. Reducing the anxiety should help with boosting confidence. All of these are best taken on an empty stomach.
By the way alcohol's calming effect is from boosting GABA activity in the brain. GABA is available as a supplement but it is not readily absorbed. Glycine has the same neurotransmitter inhibitor effects as GABA, but is more readily absorbed.
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1705717#i_GABA (esp. glycine) actually acts as an antidepressant if a person's GABA levels are low.
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1705716#i_Low GABA levels have been linked to depression and GABA supplementation has been used to treat depression. Occasional or short term use of alcohol actually has more of a euphoric effect. Alcohol induced depression is seen more in long term use such as alcoholism. Because alcohol depletes B vitamins my guess is that the long term alcohol use is reducing methylation needed to form our neurotransmitters. B vitamins are needed for the formation of the methyl donor SAMe and the B vitamin choline is a stronger methyl donor as well as a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. A deficiency of neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, can cause depression.
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1603200#i_Zinc depletion is frequently seen in the following conditions: alcoholism, macular degeneration, diabetes, malignant melanoma, liver and kidney diseases, malabsorption syndromes such as celiac sprue, and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease. Combine copper with zinc, around 2.5mg copper with 50mg zinc.
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1705721#i_I mentioned 4 things to counter alcohol: Ashwagandha, gotu kola, GABA and glycine. These are generally safe and some provide additional benefits such as ashwagandha also supports the conversion of T4 to T3 by the thyroid and supports the adrenals. Gotu kola increases blood flow to the brain for better memory, is a good source of B vitamins, has some antiseptic properties and stimulates collagen and elastin formation. Glycine also helps with the healing and formation of tissues. All are best taken on an empty stomach.
__ALLERGY
___Quercetin (plain), ___TMG
_As far as the allergic responses you are experiencing I have a few suggestions for you.
First is the bioflavonoid quercetin. Not the QBC (quercetin, bromelain and vitamin C), but rather straight ___quercetin. Quercetin is a natural antihistamine.
Secondly is the methyl donor ___trimethylglycine (TMG), derived from beet leaves. TMG helps to reduce histamine by increasing the level of antihistamine epinephrine. _And even though TMG helps to increase stomach acidity TMG itself is alkalizing.
_If someone is sensitive to nightshades, salicylates etc there is already some problem with the system since these sensitivities are not normal.

http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1913785____Pantethine helps you clear toxins, boost your adrenal gland function, elevate your mood, clear your head, and is a vital nutrient for the health and well-being of your brain and cardiovascular system.
_BDNF can prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Pantethine is an ideal nutrient to support BDNF formation2. It supports the adrenal glands as well as overall energy production.
_Perhaps the most interesting new findings on lecithin concern its connection with the functioning of the brain and nervous system.
_The main source of energy for the brain comes from a combination of oxygen and glucose (sugar). For brain cells to function normally they must receive a constant supply of these nutrients. As areas of the brain become more active blood flow into and out of these areas increase.
_In addition to oxygen and glucose, the brain uses chemical compounds known as phospholipids. These phosopholipids make up the covering of nerve cells that assist in the transfer of information from cell to cell. Without phospholipids brain cell activity may become abnormal and cause problems in the nervous system.
_Certain diseases like Alzheimer's disease and brain tumors can affect blood flow to the brain and change the way the brain metabolizes phopholipids. In addition to diseases, changes in the brain occur with normal healthy aging.
_Besides being an important factor in controlling cholesterol levels and aiding coronary health, lecithin is involved in a myriad of body functions. Every cell of your body contains lecithin. Lecithin is responsible for maintaining the surface tension of the cell membrane. It therefore controls what goes in and out of each cell, allowing nutrients in, or wastes out. Without enough lecithin, the cell wall hardens, thus not allowing enough nutrients in or wastes out. This means premature aging of cells. The surface tension of the cell maintained by lecithin is also responsible for transmitting nerve impulses and messages through or from the cell.
_Individual isolates are not as effective as products containing all the synergistic compounds. Lecithin contains 4 synergistic phospholipids, not just PC. So I would take lecithin over PC anytime.
_Can amyloid plaque be cleared? Studies indicate that it can be. And there are many other things that can be done to enhance brain function. Lecithin granules are great. Periwinkle raises brain circulation and ATP formation. Gotu kola and gingko biloba increase brain circulation to a lesser extent.
_Vitamin D and curcumin are both very good. I have some saved abstracts on curcumin and beta amyloid:
_I would not worry about the aluminum for several reasons:
1. Aluminum has never been linked to Alzheimer's. It was an assumption based on presence. Now it is believed that calcification may be responsible as one of the hypotheses.
2. Aluminum is so prevalent in the Earth's crust that you are going to be ingesting this same aluminum oxide in about any plant you ingest.
3. Silica has a high affinity for aluminum and helps bind and remove it from the body.

__LOW ENERGY
https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1548148_Adrenals or Adrenals & Thyroid
_Fixing your adrenals may bring up your energy level. I've previously found info from Sloane on how to fix the adrenals. He said they mainly need Vitamin C and Pantothenic acid. He recommends Amla Berry powder for Vitamin C and Rice bran etc for Pantothenic acid, which is Vitamin B5. If you want to take B5 alone for a while, about 100mg/day with meal should be enough. I've been getting Amla Berry capsules instead of powder. I get the Solaray brand from
http://Vitacost.com . I also use cheap Vitacost Vitamin C tablets, because an old study found that its stable in tablet form. But Vitamin C is destroyed easily from heating, high pressure, oxygen, or light. The Amla Vitamin C is 12 times as effective as plain Vitamin C, because it has bioflavinoids etc in it. That's also why Rice bran is more effective than B5 alone. Vitamin C should be taken half an hour before meals, because it's transported in the blood by insulin and if there's glucose, some of the insulin will be used to transport the glucose, and there may not be enough to carry the Vitamin C, so the rest would go to waste.
_Blood vessels need Vitamin C too, but it goes to the adrenals first and whatever is left over goes to the blood vessels. Magnesium malate or citrate softens plaque in the blood vessels and Lecithin granules remove the plaque. The Magnesium also prevents muscle cramps and lowers blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. Other forms of Magnesium Sloane says are useless or harmful, except what's in food & maybe well water.
_Here's a quote from Sloane and a reader in the next post here.
__ADRENALS FOR SOUND SLEEP
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1770677#i_Try glycine [powder, 1/4 teaspoon half hour before meals; it tastes sweet]. You may also want to give nettle leaf a try before bed. Nettle leaf supports the adrenals, is a good source of chromium and magnesium for blood sugar control, and has a fair amount of protein again to help stabilize blood sugar. Chlorella would also be a good choice as it is about 60% protein for blood sugar control and also helps with metal detoxification.
_[Reader:] I got Shishsandra berry. You had suggested putting a bit in my mouth for 5-10 seconds a few times a week, but how should I take or use it?
_Swallow it after stimulating the taste receptors on the tongue to help support the adrenals. If you tolerate the schisandra then you would benefit by taking it 3 times daily, again to boost the adrenals. Schisandra [preferably powder] is one of the best adaptogens available.
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1771794#i_Other than the vitamin C and pantothenic acid sources, the adaptogenic herb ashwagandha would help with calming to reduce cortisol and it helps with T4 to T3 conversion in the thyroid. A seaweed like bladderwrack three times daily will also help support the adrenals and the thyroid.
_So, if you have hypothyroid, ashwaganda and bladderwrack should help. I just ordered ashwagandha yesterday from

__ARRYTHMIA
https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1884154_85 year old woman with an arrythmic heart and retainS water, takes one full strength aspirin a day and one furosemide 40 mg. daily.
_First of all it is very likely that the arrhythmia is from the furosemide (Lasix). I have actually seen this a number of times. Doctors will give patients furosemide, which depletes potassium, without giving them a potassium source. After a week or so their potassium levels drop so low that they develop heart arrhythmias from the low potassium. If she is not on potassium already then I recommend getting on __potassium supplements.
__Magnesium malate is also a great choice for heart arrhythmias. Magnesium malate helps to increase blood flow to the heart and increases ATP for the heart muscle.
__Coleus forskohlii is also helpful since it helps to strengthen the heart contractions to pump more blood through the kidneys where the excess water can be removed.
_Do you think it's a good idea to get off aspirin?
_Yes. Aspirin is not healthy, it is actually quite dangerous.
_What could she take instead?
_Fish oil will thin the blood safer. So will __dan shen or __nattokinase. I like __Carlson's fish oil. They have a plain and flavored oils, and none of them have any fishy taste or smell that indicate rancidity.
_How about furosemide?
_Ironically, furosemide actually depletes potassium, which is a natural diuretic. But what will be best in her case will depend on the cause of the water retention. If it is from sodium retention or potassium depletion then __potassium should work. If from something like congestive heart failure then herbs such as __coleus forskohlii or __cactus grandiflorus would be better choices. Coleus I prefer in powder form and taken with nettle leaf to prolong the effects. For example, a 2:1 ratio of coleus to nettle leaf with a recommended dose of 1/2 teaspoon 3 times daily before meals. If this is not strong enough to reduce the water retention then the mix can be taken 4 times daily. Cactus grandiflorus you will only find in a tincture, and it is hard to find. Directions will be on the bottle. Different tinctures can have different strengths so you pretty much have to follow their instructions. But taking the tincture under the tongue will facilitate the absorption.
__ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
There are two kinds of cholesterol: HDL & LDL. There is actually a lot more to it including calcification and oxidation of cholesterol. But if we really want to discuss the depositing of cholesterol then we need to discuss inflammation. It is actually the inflammation that leads to the accumulation of any cholesterol on blood vessel walls. This is why hypothyroidism is such a significant risk factor for arteriosclerosis. Hypothyroidism leads to elevated levels of inflammatory homocysteine, one of the leading causes of heart disease. Interestingly, statin drugs used to lower cholesterol reduce levels of nutrients needed to lower homocysteine levels.
_ Any place in your body that you injure will flood with cholesterol, as cholesterol is a healing agent for the body. The reason lowering cholesterol does not reduce the risk of heart disease is because cholesterol levels are irrelevant. About 50% of people that have a heart attack have normal to low cholesterol levels. Cholesterol does not flood an area nor deposit unless the area has been injured and inflamed. In the case of the arteries the cholesterol builds up when the source of inflammation is not removed such as chronically high homocysteine. Furthermore, abnormally low cholesterol levels increase the risk for heart attack and stroke even further, primarily by reducing circulation.
_Methylation reduces homocysteine. TMG is your best choice. Otherwise dimethylglycine, small amounts of choline bitartrate or the vitamins B6, B12 and folate.

_Turmeric Tea for Weight Loss and Arthritis
Arthritis is one of the most common medical conditions that exist. It is described as having swollen and painful joints. The usual symptoms of this disease are muscle aches and pains, fatigue, loss of flexibility, stiffness of joints, and inability to use certain limbs.
_The most common forms of arthritis are gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and infectious arthritis. This condition can affect children as well, not just adults.
_Incorporating turmeric tea into your daily diet can help ease, soothe, and get rid of arthritis. Check below for the numerous ways it can help you deal with this disease.
_Helps with Inflammation
_Inflammation is one of the primary symptoms of arthritis. This will then cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. Fortunately, the curcumin in turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. It inhibits the action of pro-inflammatory enzymes. It helps control inflammation in arthritis and prevents it from spreading. Also, it protects joints and synovial fluid from inflammation.
Related: when to take glucomannan
_Helps Protect Bones
_In osteoarthritis, the degradation of bone tissues is observed. Curcumin protects certain bone cells from inflammation. It protects bones and joints from erosion in arthritis and also prevents the thickening of synovial fluid, which lubricates joints.
_Curcumin also slows down the progression of osteoarthritis by preventing the loss of bone tissue. It also reduces the activity of the bone cells that absorb bone tissue. Also, it maintains the function of cells that lay down bone tissue.
_Prevents the Progression of Arthritis
_No matter what type of arthritis you have, drinking turmeric tea regularly will eventually help halt its progress. There are certain cells in the body that are immune to cell death. They go by the name of fibroblasts. They are on the lining of joints, and they ensure smooth movements and flexibility.
_However, due to inflammation, these cells start to grow and resist cell death. This contributes to inflammation and the destruction of joints.
_Fortunately, the curcumin in turmeric targets these cells specifically. Curcumin prevents them from producing inflammatory agents. Eventually, curcumin is able to destroy these so-called indestructible fibroblasts, thus preventing the advancement of arthritis.
_Soothes Pain Brought On by Arthritis
_The daily intake of turmeric tea can help in reducing the tenderness and swelling of joints. Curcumin also inhibits the activity of certain enzymes that bring about inflammation and pain associated with arthritis.
_There are many studies that show turmeric, specifically its compound curcumin, work as better painkillers and are more effective than certain drugs in treating arthritis. And unlike prescription drugs, they do not have any side effects.

_Asthma is a form of allergy, actually an inflammatory allergy. And allergies are a symptom of adrenal gland dysfunction. When the adrenal glands are working properly they put out sufficient levels of immune modulating corticosteroids, and antihistamine epinephrine to counter allergic responses. Therefore, if the adrenal glands fail to put out sufficient levels of these compounds, we can develop allergic responses.
_When asthmatics go to the doctor, the doctor will give the patient steroids and epinephrine, which substitute for what the adrenals are failing to put out in sufficient quantities. This brings us to the topic of the immune system. The immune system is not a single thing. It consists of many factors including the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, white blood cells, cytokines, enzymes like SOD, the adrenal glands, etc. Therefore, parts of the immune system can be suppressed, while other areas are working fine. Allergies are a good example. Most parts of the immune system is working fine. The adrenal glands though are not putting out sufficient levels of antihistamine and anti-leukotriene epinephrine and immune modulating corticosteroids.
_This also helps explain why children can outgrow allergies, as I did. Children can outgrow many allergies, including asthma, generally around the age of 5 because in some cases it takes a little longer for the adrenals to fully mature.
_The adrenal glands use more vitamin C than any other part of the body. Therefore, this would be the first thing to focus on. Although I do not care for synthetic vitamin C. Natural C is generally stronger, more stable and provides more benefits than synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Excellent herbal sources of vitamin C are acerola cherry, amla, rosehips, watercress and nettle leaf. Food sources include kiwis, papaya and berries.
_The second most important nutrient for the adrenal glands is pantothenic acid. The highest plant source of pantothenic acid is found in bee pollen. When starting with bee pollen start out with small doses because of the risk of allergic reaction. The same applies to any time you change pollen sources since you can be allergic to one pollen source and not another.
_Herbs that support the adrenal glands include schisandra berry, astragalus, nettle leaf, Siberian ginseng, suma, ashwagandha, jiaogulan (Gynostemma), and licorice root. Herbs are best taken several times daily rather than once a day. Most herbs should also be taken on an empty stomach at least 1/2 hour before meals since fats and proteins can block absorption. Although herbal powders can be mixed in a little unsweetened applesauce since this does not interfere with absorption.
_I like making adrenal supportive candies by mixing astragalus, schisandra, pollen, amla and a little licorice root. Then I mix in vegetable glycerin until it forms a paste. I take a pinch and roll it in to a ball about the size of a pea. The candies taste like Sweet and Sour Tarts.
_Remember to avoid all stimulants since these depress immune function by weakening adrenal gland function. Stimulants include caffeine, ephedrine, and nicotine, and herbs including ephedra, guarana, black tea, country mallow and bitter orange.
_This can confuse some people because an old time remedy to stop an asthma attack is a strong cup of coffee. It is true that coffee, more specifically the alkaloids in coffee, will stop an asthma attack. These alkaloids; caffeine, theophylline and theobromine block the breakdown of a chemical messenger for the body known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Production of cAMP counters the leukotrienes and histamine that can trigger asthma attacks. A problem though is that cAMP is very short lived in the body as it is quickly broken down by a liver enzyme known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase (cAMPPDE). Caffeine, theophylline and theobromine are cAMPPDE inhibitors and therefore extend the life and actions of cAMP. This is the same reason that theophylline has been used in hospital settings to control asthma. The problem is that the consistent use of stimulants deplete adrenal function and therefore levels of epinephrine and corticosteroids. In short, caffeine and related compounds can help if used occasionally when necessary, but continual use can increase the risk of asthma attacks.
_Along the same line, the reason epinephrine and ephedrine stop allergic reactions such as asthma is because they elevate levels of cAMP. This counters histamine and inflammatory leukotrienes, which are about 1,000 times more stimulatory to the formation of asthma attacks that histamine.
_There are herbs that can replace epinephrine and ephedrine without the stimulant effects. My favorites are zizyphus seed (suan zao ren), coleus forskohlii and nettle leaf. Zizyphus seed and coleus forskohlii both elevate cAMP levels without raising the pulse or blood pressure. Nettle leaf is a natural antihistamine by blocking cAMP breakdown and it helps support adrenal gland function.
_Keep stress levels down to a minimum since stress overworks the adrenals. When it comes to stress the adrenals are designed for short term use. The adrenals are not designed for long term stimulation as occurs with the use of stimulants and chronic stress. There are various methods that can be used to control stress. For example, meditation, exercise, pets or a relaxing bath. The best choice will depend on the individual.
_Steroids, such as Prednisone and steroidal inhalers, are best avoided or their use extremely limited. These drugs will help to control symptoms by reducing the inflammatory component of asthma, although they can aggravate the underlying cause. This is commonly seen as inhaler dependence. As the steroids atrophy the adrenal glands the adrenal glands produce decreased levels of steroids. When this occurs the body becomes more dependent on external sources of steroids. Therefore, as the steroidal medications atrophy the adrenal glands more of the steroidal medications are required to replace what the adrenals are failing to produce in sufficient levels.
_Magnesium deficiencies are common in asthmatics, and magnesium is very useful in the treatment of asthma. Magnesium relaxes the smooth muscle of the lungs by displacing calcium, thereby helping to prevent the spasming of the lung muscles. Because magnesium works by displacing calcium, it is important that the magnesium be taken in the absence of calcium. It also helps to take the magnesium on an empty stomach at least 1/2 hour before meals. If you take a calcium-magnesium supplement it should be taken at a different time of day. Recommended dose of magnesium is 300mg twice daily on an empty stomach. Pre-acidified forms of magnesium, such as magnesium citrate or malate, are better absorbed and more effective.
_A simple formula can be made to stop asthma attacks. Mix 1 ounce of coleus forskohlii tincture, ˝ ounce of yerba mate’ tincture and a Ľ ounce of lobelia tincture. Mix well and put one ounce of the mixture back in to one of the tincture bottles. At the very first sign of an asthma attack I recommend squirting a dropper full or two of the tincture under the tongue and hold under the tongue. Forskohlii raises cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels like ephedra or epinephrine also do, but while lowering the pulse and blood pressure unlike ephedra and epinephrine. So it is much safer than ephedra, ephedrine, or epinephrine. Yerba mate’ blocks the breakdown of cAMP. Lobelia acts as a smooth muscle relaxant to prevent lung spasming.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1750503#i__AUTOIMMUNITY
_Doctors are under the false assumption that autoimmune disorders result from an overactive immune system. In reality it is a suppression of the immune system through the adrenals leading to the over production of low affinity (nonspecific) antibodies. This is why immune suppressants such as stress and stimulants make autoimmune conditions worse.
_Actually Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, which is closely related are autoimmune. Autoimmune conditions result in part from an impaired immune system through the adrenals. And in the case of Crohn's and UC the trigger is mycobacterium avium complex (MAC).
_My recommendation is to focus on killing the MAC with antibiotic herbs, using anti-inflammatory herbs, particularly ___licorice root and ___yucca root, and to build up the adrenal glands.
_For the antibacterials I recommend focusing on ___chaparral and ___pau d' arco.
_For the adrenals I posted a detailed response on this previously:
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1527351#ihttps://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1596471#i_Here is a copy of my autoimmune write up I generally e-mail out:
__Autoimmunity
_Autoimmune disorders are a symptom of adrenal dysfunction. The adrenal glands produce, among other things, steroids that modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation in the body. Though doctors tell us that autoimmune disorders are caused from an overactive immune system, this is obviously untrue. The easiest piece of evidence to prove this is the fact that things that suppress the immune system make autoimmune disorders worse. Ever notice how stress makes autoimmune symptoms worse? So does caffeine, ephedrine, nicotine, and steroids. Yes, steroids make the underlying condition worse. Steroids do reduce the symptoms of autoimmune disorders, such as inflammation in RA and weakness in MS. The reason they reduce the symptoms is because the steroids are anti-inflammatory and they suppress immune function to the point an immune response cannot be mounted. Though, this is a real stupid way to treat an autoimmune disorder since wiping out the immune system leaves a person open to many other illnesses, such as cancer. The steroid Prednisone also creates other adverse effects, such as osteoporosis. And what happens when you try to come off of the steroids? You will have a severe rebound reaction with increased autoimmune symptoms. Why? Because steroids DO NOT cure autoimmune disorders. And steroids, like stimulants, and stress atrophy the adrenal glands reducing the output of the body’s own anti-inflammatories and immune modulators. Although both are steroids, the real difference lies in the concentration. The body generates steroids in small amounts as needed. The long term substitute of high dose, stronger steroids, leads to a shut down of the production of corticosteroids by the adrenal glands, and a dependence on external sources of steroids as seen by the exacerbation of symptoms with Prednisone withdrawal.
_Immune modulation by the adrenals allows the body to produce normal high affinity antibodies. High affinity antibodies are specific to their target, allowing them to tag only foreign antigens for destruction by white blood cells. But this is where we run in to another common medical myth. We are taught in conventional medicine that “all” antibodies are specific to their target. This is obviously untrue since the body does not go out of its way to destroy its own tissues. To understand this process we can look at the production of monoclonal antibodies for disease research. To manufacture monoclonals they start with a serum sample, in which an antigen target is added. Various antibodies, both specific and nonspecific, attach to these antigen targets. The antigen target is then removed and placed in a solution of weak sodium sulfate, which removes the nonspecific “low affinity” antibodies. These are the same types of antibodies involved in autoimmunity, and that make HIV and hepatitis virus antigen tests inaccurate. The target is then added to a slightly stronger solution to remove the slightly more specific antibodies. This is repeated several times until only the high affinity antibodies, which are specific to their target, are left. These specific antibodies are then used to manufacture monoclonal antibodies. So as we can see antibodies to the same target can differ in their specificity to their intended antigen. Another example to this would be the connective tissue disorders in women with silicone breast implants. The manufacturers claim that the silicone is inert in the body. Although this claim has been proven to be false. Anti-silicone antibodies have been found in response to both liquid silicone, and solid silicone. Solid silicone is used in the manufacture of silicone drainage tubes and the encapsulation bags for implants. Anyway low affinity antibodies developed in response to the silicone mistake collagen in human connective tissue for the intended target silicone because of the shared similar structure of silica in silicone and connective tissue.
_Treatment of autoimmune disorders should start with building up the adrenal glands to properly regulate the immune response. Vitamin C is the most important nutrient for proper adrenal health, though I do not like synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid), sold in powders, crystals, capsules, tablets, and liquids. Synthetic C is very unstable, especially if in liquid form, or if exposed to heat or light. Synthetic C is also less active than natural vitamin C. ___Amla berries are the highest source of stable vitamin C. My next choice would be ___acerola cherry followed by ___rosehips. The next most important nutrient for the adrenal glands is the vitamin B5 ___pantothenic acid. The highest herbal source for this vitamin is ___bee pollen. Be careful though if you are allergy prone. Herbs that support adrenal function include ___schisandra berries (my favorite), ___ashwagandha, ___nettle leaf, ___Siberian ginseng (cijuwa, eleuthero), ___seaweeds, ___suma, ___licorice root (also a natural steroid so use in small doses), ___Arctic root, and ___astragalus.
_Remember to avoid all stimulants, and try to keep your stress levels down as much as possible. And steroids cannot be cut off cold turkey. They must be gradually reduced. Licorice root actually increases the effects of Prednisone and reduces its excretion. Therefore, when using licorice root Prednisone dosage may need to be reduced. Discuss reducing your Prednisone dosage with your doctor if using licorice root while taking Prednisone.
_Autoimmune disorder - Suspected or known triggers
- Juvenile diabetes: Coxsackie virus, rubella, Cytomegalovirus; Also linked to vaccines utilizing live viruses including DPT, MMR, rotavirus, and hepatitis vaccines
- Multiple sclerosis: Human herpes virus type 6 (HHV6)
- Rheumatoid arthritis and reactive arthritis (Reiter’s Syndrome): Chlamydia bacteria, Epstein-Barr virus; (EBV), gonorrheal bacteria, salmonella, Mycobacterium, enterobacteria, shigella bacteria, campylobacter bacteria
- Crohn’s disease: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacterium
- Ulcerative colitis: Mycobacterium
- Lupus: EBV
- Sjorgren’s syndrome: Hepatitis viruses, Coxsackie virus, and EBV
- Hashimoto’s thyroidosis: EBV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human T-cell leukemia virus type 1
- Myasthenia gravis: HCV, and possibly other viruses
- Therefore, antimicrobials are recommended in the treatment of autoimmune disorders as well. Excellent antimicrobials that kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi include andrographis, chaparral, pau d’ arco, and amla.
_"What herbs/supplements do you recommend one to take in order to improve/stimulate immune function?"
The immune system is many things. It includes a number of different white blood cells, antibodies, peroxides, enzymes, interleukins, interferons, tumor necrosis factor, the adrenals, the thymus, the flora, the skin, various acids.
_The biggest thing is to avoid stress as much as possible. Stress can really suppress the immune system very quick.
___Vitamin C is great for helping to maintain the adrenals, thymus and white blood cell activity. Natural sources are always the best.
___Zinc is also very important for maintaining immunity. Although I recommend sticking to 50mg supplemental zinc daily since doses over 100mg daily can suppress immunity. And you will have to factor in dietary zinc as well as zinc in other supplements. So taking 50mg supplemental should keep you well within the 100mg limit with other sources.
___Adaptogenic herbs are excellent for boosting the immune system.
_Herbs rich in ___polysaccharides will boost white blood cell activity. This is good as long as you do not have an autoimmune disorder. These herbs include ___aloe, most ___seaweeds, medicinal ___mushrooms, ___astragalus, ___schisandra berry, etc.
___Licorice root is great for boosting interferon levels.
___Amla berry significantly raises superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, which responds to interferon producing hydrogen peroxide that stimulates white blood cell activity.
_Watch your sugar intake. Sugar and vitamin C require insulin for transport. Excess sugar locks up the available insulin preventing proper transport of vitamin C to white blood cells for their proper function.
_Maintain your stomach acid.
_Maintain your intestinal flora with ___probiotics and ___prebiotics.
__BACK PAIN
_Do you know what is causing the hip bursitis and the upper back pain HV?
_The adrenal fatigue will be part of it for two reasons. One reason is that the adrenal fatigue increases inflammation in the body. It also increases the requirement of vitamin C by the adrenals, which leads to less vitamin C available for the structural proteins such as collagen and elastin. This leads to weakening of the tissues. The weakening makes them more prone to damage and also increases the risk of disc slippage from the lack of connective tissue support and because of the development of micro cracks in the vertebrae.
_But vitamin C will not correct this on on its own. Silica is also extremely important both for the production of these structural proteins and inflammation reduction.
__BALDNESS
Shampoo additive for baldness is Licorice root, rosemary and juniper berry.
__BELCHING
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1588568#i_Either the stomach is not completely empty or it is possible that you are swallowing air. When people do this the body heat expands the air leading to same problem as the gas from fermentation.
__BLOATING
Can kefir cause bloating? Yes, especially if there are unfermented sugars still in the kefir.
_I know taking antibiotics for the tooth infection messed me up and I'm trying to get back to digesting food again, but right now I feel pregnant 24/7 [bloated]. Can you help me?
_See if you can find some yucca root. Yucca root is high in saponins, which are a surfactant and will reduce fermentation in the digestive system.
_Gaseous bloating is most often from fermentation of food or sugars in the stomach and intestines.
__BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH
___Coleus forskohlii will take the blood pressure down pretty quick. Combining it with some ___watercress or ___nettle will help prolong the effects. If you cannot find the coleus look for ___lily of the valley or ___cactus grandiflorus (night blooming cereus), which also drop the blood pressure quickly.
- Taking some ___glycine will help calm.
__BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH
_I have seen many cases a lot worse. Around the 300/200 range or higher [than 150/110] and the people were still walking around. Not sure how. The biggest worries with high blood pressure are with possible kidney damage, arterial damage leading to arterial plaque, and the risk of blowing out an aneurysm.
_The magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker. I would add ashwagandha, which is a natural ACE inhibitor and beta blocker. That will cover most causes of high blood pressure.
_Another great herb is coleus forskohlii, which works like digitalis, even though it is not a cardiac glycoside. Forskohlii slows the heart, strengthens the heart contractions, and lowers the blood pressure. Take it with nettle leaf or watercress to prolong the effects.
_Sterols also lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. Jiaogulan is a great source.
_And there is the amino acid taurine, which also relaxes blood vessels. This must be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals.
__BLOOD PRESSURE ISSUES
Berberine is bad for blood pressure. ___MagMal is good
http://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1523781#iDiabetes
http://medcapsules.com/forum/showthread.php?tid_24456__BLOOD SUGAR ISSUES
____Juniper berries are a bitter [good to flush the liver], antifungal, adrenal and pancreatic support and they lower blood sugar, reducing insulin needs. Juniper berries are very supporting to the pancreas, but they also drop blood sugar like crazy so you should have a little something in the stomach when using them. Here I would recommend less, such as a 1/4 teaspoon three times daily. The juniper berries also help with other areas of digestion. Juniper berries contain an insulin-like compound that lowers the blood sugar. Therefore both nettle leaves and juniper berries help to starve cancer cells.
____Chamomile has been shown to help with lowering blood sugar levels in diabetics, probably due to the anti-inflammatory effects.
_Increasing ___chromium and ___vanadium (vanadyl sulfate) intake are the easiest ways to maintain proper sugar levels. I recommend 200mcg of ___chromium polynicotinate (not picolinate) 3 times a day with meals. Polynicotinate is a niacin bound chromium, so it also helps maintain proper cholesterol levels. It is also 300 times stronger than chromium picolinate. ___Vanadyl sulfate functions like a natural insulin taking sugar out of the blood stream. Insulin is dependant on insulin receptors to carry sugar out of the blood. Though nearly all diabetics are type 2 diabetics, who produce plenty, and often too much insulin because their insulin receptors are either closed or missing so the available insulin cannot remove the sugar from the blood. Since vanadyl sulfate is not dependant on these insulin receptors, it can still remove sugar from the blood of type 2 diabetics. Vanadyl sulfate also has the ability to open closed insulin receptors as it carries the sugar out of the blood. The recommended dose of vanadyl sulfate is 50mg 3 times daily with meals.
____Magnesium may also help prevent diabetic related heart disease due to magnesium's role in helping to regulate blood sugar levels, and by helping prevent damage to blood vessels due to the strong blood vessel constricting effects of insulin. Most of the serious side effects of diabetes are due to rupturing of blood vessels, or blood vessel damage, due to elevated levels of insulin in the blood. These side effects include diabetic retinopathy (loss of vision), renal (kidney) failure, gangrene, and heart disease.
_For supplemental vitamins for cancer I recommend 1,000mg of ___vitamin C with ___bioflavonoids 3 times daily with meals. ___Amla berry is the preferred source of vitamin C since the vitamin C in amla is stabilized by the polyphenols in the berries, and it is 12 times stronger than synthetic vitamin C. Most of the vitamin C on the market is synthesized from sugar, and is not very stable and therefore breaks down fairly quickly [even before you buy it].
_Sugars, including honey should also be limited since sugar suppresses immune function. This occurs because both sugar and vitamin C require insulin for transport. When sugar is consumed insulin is tied up making it unavailable for vitamin C transport. When vitamin C cannot reach the white blood cells, white blood cell activity is lowered decreasing immunity. If a sweetener is desired then I recommend the herb ___stevia, or stevia extract. The sugar molecules in stevia are too large to be absorbed and therefore they do not affect blood sugar or immunity. You only need a small amount of stevia due to the intense sweetness of the herb.
_Sugar and vitamin C require insulin for transport. Excess sugar locks up the available insulin preventing proper transport of vitamin C to white blood cells for their proper function. Reduce sugar & carbs to improve immune system & to reduce malignancy. Sugars suppress white blood cell activity and elevated blood sugar can promote malignant growth.
__BLOOD VESSEL ISSUES
___VITAMIN K2 CONTROLS REMOVAL OF CALCIUM FROM ARTERIES
http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1709580Regular intake of Vitamin K2 from supplements, ___natto, ___Edam and ___Gouda cheeses should prevent the development of arteriosclerotic plaques and thus be able to prevent disability and deaths from arteriosclerosis. Taking a slice of these cheeses daily is a pleasant good health habit.
__BONE PAIN, HEALING
http://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1546553#iLicorice root and yucca root are strong steroidal anti-inflammatories applied topically for pain. Wintergreen oil and Cayenne are weaker. For chronic pain use DL-phenylalanine (DLPA). It takes about two weeks to kick in, but the pain relieving effects are long term. Start with 1000mg 3 times daily at least 30 minutes before meals, then cut back to 500mg 3 times daily after 2 weeks.
_Heat and cold can help pain too. Put hot water in a rubber container (or hot water bottle) and keep it on the painful area for ten minutes or more. Then put ice or cold water in a similar container and apply for another ten minutes or so. Then repeat the process for half an hour or so twice a day.
_Silica is the most important mineral to heal bone. Foods high in silica are bananas, oats, rice bran and other brans.
__BONES
Boron is good for bone strength and hormones.
__BONE ISSUES
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1541508#i_Silica is absolutely essential for the formation of cartilage, bone, tendons and ligaments. Silica itself though is poorly absorbed, especially in the elderly and in those using antacids and acid blockers due to insufficient stomach acid. Therefore taking your silica containing supplements with a source of acid is a real good idea. You can use a little unbuffered ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or some cider vinegar to enhance silica absorption. Bamboo, which is 7 times higher in silica than horsetail grass, or purified diatomaceous earth, which is pure silica, are good silica sources.
_Vitamin C is also essential for the formation of cartilage proteins and connective tissue.
_Sulfur is needed for the production of cartilage proteins and connective tissues.
_Manganese is also required for cartilage formation.
_Zinc and copper are required as catalysts, but they are only needed in trace amounts.
_Seaweeds, nettle leaf, and alfalfa are all good sources for these nutrients.
_Glucosamine is good in the sulfate form. Though it is extremely slow to take effect. In general it takes at least 4 months to really start seeing results. And again keep in mind that sufficient stomach acid is required to properly absorb glucosamine. Therefore antacids, acid blockers, alkaline waters, and age can all decrease or block absorption of glucosamine.
_I do not like chondroitin. Though it is a component of cartilage it is not absorbed well enough to be of much benefit. Only about 8% of chondroitin is typically absorbed. This is why I prefer using the building blocks, such as silica, to help build cartilage. I also find that it is faster, probably in part due to higher levels of intake compared to the average dose of glucosamine and chondroitin normally taken.
_A final note, both glucosamine and chondroitin are found in gelatin. Gelatin also provides additional protein for the formation of bone and cartilage. So gelatin makes an excellent substitute for glucosamine and chondroitin, and is less expensive. But I am not talking about gelatins full of sugar, since sugar breaks bones down. I am talking about straight gelatin, which can be mixed in a little juice for flavor, added to some foods, or sweetened with stevia.
__BRONCHITIS, PNEUMONIA
To clear up lung infections mix equal parts of chaparral, thyme, and horseradish powders. Blend them well then fill some capsules. In one of the empty capsules add 8 drops of pure eucalyptus essential oil. Recommend 1 capsule with the 8 drops of oil 3 times daily with the herb capsules. You will exhale the oils killing any fungus, bacteria, or virus in the lungs. The longest I have ever seen this take for pneumonia or bronchitis is 3 days. Only take it as needed. Remember to stay hydrated to keep the mucous in the lungs fluid so it can be expelled with the pathogens.
__BRUISING
_Red or purplish spots under skin, bruises easily, subcutaneous bleeding.
fits the description exactly: They recommended Vit 'C' which i suspected, bioflavonoids and rutin, grape seed extract, glucosamine and alkalizer. The alkalizer part worried me a bit.
_Alkalinizing or glucosamine will not do anything for this. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids, especially rutin is the most beneficial as well as silica. Grape seed extract is just another source of bioflavonoids.
_I have been taking vit C but not doing much.
_It cannot do its job without the flavonoids and silica.
_you said about acreola cherry. What do you think of grape seed extract.
_Again just an expensive source of flavonoids. Acerola will give you both the vitamin C and the flavonoids. You can also get both from food sources or other herbs such as watercress and nettle leaf.
_I eat peppers, but don't eat much fruit at the moment due to candida. I'm not that keen on kiwis but i'll eat them if i must, as i know they are high in C.
_Make sure the peppers are ripe. And stick to bell peppers, since hot peppers thin the blood. There is no such thing as a ripe green bell pepper. All bell peppers will develop some other color than green when ripe. Watercress is also rich in vitamin C and low in sugar.
_Do i need to take Rutin seperately do you think or will it be in the fruits i eat.
_It is generally in the fruits you eat, especially berries. Although it is also a breakdown product of the flavonoid quercetin. Best quercetin sources? Watercress, yellow onion skins and nettle leaf.
__BRUISING
_Another thing I want to add is she bruises easily somtimes, like it's coming from nowhere.
_Easy bruising often indicates a lack of __vitamin C and/or __silica. Although some drugs can also increase bruising such as Coumadin (Warfarin) and aspirin.
__CANCER
_[[This is mostly from
http://www.medcapsules.com/info/Cancer.htm . By the way, marijuana is good for pain & for cancer. Walmart sells hemp seeds cheap, in the Baking supplies aisle.]]
_Anti-cancer Formula
Most of these herbs can be ordered from a health food store as powders.
3 parts Chaparral -- 2 parts Pau d' arco -- 2 parts Red clover blossom
2 parts Jiaogulan -- 2 parts Andrographis -- 2 parts Turmeric
2 parts Amla berry -- 2 parts Nettle leaf -- 2 parts Dulse
1 part Myrrh -- 1 part Licorice root -- 1 part Poke root -- 1 part Juniper berry
_These are powerful herbs against cancer. All of these herbs should be blended together thoroughly to make the formula. The recommended dosage is 1/2 teaspoon taken 3 times daily on an empty stomach a minimum of 30 minutes before eating a meal. The formula can be mixed in a small amount of unsweetened cinnamon applesauce (or blended banana) to make it more palatable. Avoid taking poke root in greater amounts than this, because of possible toxicity.
_Reduce sugar & carbs to improve immune system & to reduce malignancy.
_Substitute organic meats, fish, seafood in place of non- organic meats having antibiotics & hormones.
_Substitute non-homogenized milk in place of homogenized milk, containing hormones & formaldehyde.
_Avoid aspartame in Equal, Nutrasweet etc, because of methanol & formaldehyde.
_Avoid peanuts, because of aflatoxins.
_Eat mostly vegetables, especially in the cabbage family, because of anti-tumor effects.
_Eat seeds, because of antiviral protease inhibitors.
_Drink plenty of spring water, or add organic minerals to drinking water, or drink rooibos red tea, because it aids immune system & is low in tannin.
_Various mushrooms have shown strong antitumor properties including maitake, shiitake, reishi, oyster, agaricus, black fungus, enoki, artist's conk & especially turkey tails & chagas.
_Suma is another good herb to use.
_Recommended minerals with meals are:
50mg zinc once daily
200mcg selenium 3 times daily
40mg organic germanium (Bis betacarboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide) 3 times daily
_For vitamins take:
1,000mg vitamin C with bioflavonoids 3 times daily with meals
(Amla berry is the preferred source of vitamin C)
_Ozone therapy is the most effective, and one of the safest, therapies for cancer. Only minute concentrations can be used internally, and it must be produced with pure oxygen for internal use. In addition it is recommended that only cold corona ozone generators be used for internal use, and never a hot corona or ultraviolet (UV) unit. Hot corona and UV units are okay for external use only. Some units sold as cold corona units are actually hot corona, so it is important to learn how to tell the difference and to buy from a reputable company.
_The most common triggers for malignancies are microbes, especially viruses. Other common causes of malignancies include chemotherapy drugs, radiation exposure including radiation therapy, and hormones, especially xenoestrogens (herbicides, pesticides, some plastics, dioxins from paper mills, etc.) and estrogen replacement therapy. Many of the so-called oncogenes (cancer genes) have actually been discovered to be of viral, not human, origin. By inserting their DNA into healthy cells the viruses change the chemistry of the cell, and stimulate the overproduction of cellular division hormones.
_Cancer patients should eliminate sugars from their diets as much as possible. Sugars suppress white blood cell activity and elevated blood sugar can promote malignant growth. [Conventional] meats and dairy should be avoided because of hormones and antibiotics in these products and because of the formaldehyde found in homogenized milk. Aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) should be avoided because aspartame breaks down quickly under body heat and other heat sources releasing highly toxic methanol. Methanol then metabolizes into formic acid, an organ irritant, and strongly carcinogenic formaldehyde. Peanuts should be avoided since they tend to contain high levels of aflatoxins produced from a fungus known as Aspergillus niger. Aflatoxins are well known for causing liver malignancies in immunosuppressed people.
_The diet should consist primarily of vegetables, especially those in the cabbage family, which contain antitumor compounds. Seeds are also beneficial because they contain antiviral protease inhibitors.
_I recommend drinking plenty of spring water, not distilled or reverse osmosis (RO) water. Distilled and RO water are very solvent and therefore can pull beneficial minerals from the body. If you are going to use distilled or RO water I recommend adding trace mineral drops or silica to the water first so it loses some of its solvency. Spring water is less solvent and provides beneficial minerals. As an alternative to water I recommend rooibos (red tea, honey bush), which is rich in an immune stimulating compound similar to superoxide dismutase. Rooibos is also low in tannins and therefore will not interfere with the absorption of medications, herbs or nutrients like green tea and other high tannin sources can.
_Many herbs have antitumor effects through different mechanisms.
_Chaparral prevents the cellular division of malignant cells, and is a strong antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal agent. Chaparral boosts the immune system by raising vitamin C levels in the adrenal glands and is the strongest natural antioxidant known.
_Pau d' arco (lapacho, ipe roxo, tabuei, taheebo) is another excellent anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal herb, though it is more suited for leukemias and lymphomas. Combining chaparral and pau d' arco together increases the antiviral effect of the pau d' arco.
_Myrrh kills viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Myrrh also stimulates white blood cell activity due to the polysaccharides in the herb and blocks the spread of malignant cells by blocking the enzyme hyaluronidase.
_Poke root is another very important herb for the treatment of cancer, though it should be used with caution since it can be toxic. Poke root contains a protein called PAF (poke activating factor) that is structurally similar to interferon. Though unlike interferons PAF is not tissue specific. In other words interferons only work for the same tissues they were derived from, which is why interferon therapy rarely works. Since PAF is not tissue specific it will have an interferon-like effect on all tissues. I like to combine amla berries with the poke root for a synergistic effect.
_Amla berry is rich in stable vitamin C. Vitamin C supports the immune system through the adrenal glands and the thymus gland. Vitamin C is also required for the activation of white blood cells. Amla destroys viruses, bacteria, and fungi, all of which have been linked to the formation of cancers. The synergy between amla and poke occurs because amla increases the levels of an enzyme, known as superoxide dismutase (SOD) about 80%. SOD responds to the presence of interferons, or in this case PAF, by producing hydrogen peroxide, which activates white blood cells including natural killer (NK) cells that destroy detectable malignant cells and destroys some oncogenic microbes.
_Nettle leaves remove lactate from the body so it is not converted back in to glucose through the Cori cycle.
_Juniper berries contain an insulin-like compound that lowers the blood sugar. Therefore both nettle leaves and juniper berries help to starve the cancer cells.
_Various mushrooms have shown strong antitumor properties including maitake, shiitake, reishi, oyster, agaricus, black fungus, enoki, and artist's conk. My personal favorites are the mushrooms turkey tails and chagas. Turkey tails contain two separate polysaccharides, polysaccharides K and P that stimulate white blood cell activity. Turkey tails contain the highest level of organic germanium of all the mushrooms. Organic germanium helps the cells to utilize oxygen and been demonstrated to be highly antitumor. Chagas are not well known, but in my opinion this black conk mushroom has the strongest antitumor properties of all the mushrooms. Chagas not only contain immune stimulating polysaccharides, but also contains high levels of betulinic acid, another compound shown to have extremely high antiviral and antitumor activity.
_Suma is the highest herbal source of organic germanium. Suma also supports immunity through the adrenal glands.
_Several other herbs that are not well known, thought that have shown strong antitumor activity, are andrographis and jiaogulan. I also highly recommend turmeric, which has been shown to stop cancer growth through various mechanisms.
_Recommended minerals are 50mg zinc daily, 200mcg selenium three times daily, and 40mg organic germanium three times daily all with meals. When using germanium make sure that it is organic germanium (Bis betacarboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide), and not elemental germanium or germanium dioxide, both of which are highly toxic to the kidneys.
_For supplemental vitamins I recommend 1,000mg of vitamin C with bioflavonoids 3 times daily with meals. Amla berry is the preferred source of vitamin C since the vitamin C in amla is stabilized by the polyphenols in the berries, and it is 12 times stronger than synthetic vitamin C. Most of the vitamin C on the market is synthesized from sugar, and is not very stable and therefore breaks down fairly quickly [even before you buy it].
_Ozone therapy is the most effective, and one of the safest, therapies I have found for cancer. Ozone works through several mechanisms:
_Direct destruction of malignant cells from peroxide overload. Unlike healthy cells cancerous tumors lack the antioxidant enzymes (catalase, peroxidases and superoxide dismutase) needed to break down peroxides. Since malignant cells cannot break down peroxides the high levels of hydrogen and lipid peroxides produced during ozone therapy swell the malignant cells until they burst apart. Healthy cells use their antioxidant enzymes to break these peroxides down in to water and oxygen and therefore are not harmed by therapeutic levels of ozone. In one German study malignant tumors directly injected with ozone were completely destroyed within 5 minutes with no damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
_Destruction of malignancy forming microbes, xenoestrogens and many other carcinogens.
_Removal of lactate.
Stimulation of the immune system by increasing levels of interferons, interleukins, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), peroxides and superoxide dismutase. All of these stimulate white blood cell activity helping to support proper immunity.
_For further information I recommend reading The Use of Ozone in Medicine (highly technical, written for doctors), or Oxygen Healing Therapies. Ozone can be harmful if administered improperly. Only minute concentrations can be used internally, and it must be produced with pure oxygen for internal use. In addition it is recommended that only cold corona ozone generators be used for internal use, and never a hot corona or ultraviolet (UV) unit. Hot corona and UV units are for external use only. I have seen some units being sold as cold corona units that were actually hot corona, so it is important to learn how to tell the difference and to buy from a reputable company.
_Cancer is an uncontrolled division of cells with specific genetic changes making them malignant. There are conditions where cells can develop uncontrolled growth without malignant changes such as benign tumors and psoriasis.
_A common myth is that everyone has malignant cells. Though as stated above not all cellular overgrowths are malignant. If it were true that everyone had malignant cells then we would all be in serious trouble since the immune system has an extremely difficult time detecting and destroying malignant cells.
_Another common myth is that malignant cells can survive in the absence of oxygen. In reality, malignant cells are highly reliant on oxygen for survival and die in the absence of oxygen. In fact, both healthy cells and malignant cells rely on both anaerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. The main difference here is that malignant cells have a very irregular vascular development reducing their utilization of oxygen by oxidative phosphorylation somewhat.
_It was long believed that malignant cells were completely anaerobic and that they produced lactic acid as a byproduct of fermentation. These hypotheses have since been disproven. As pointed out previously malignant cells rely on oxygen for survival. And in the process of energy production they produce the non-acidic salt of lactic acid known as lactate. The extracellular acidity of malignant tumors comes from the acidic protons exported by cancer cells to protect themselves from the acidity that would kill them.
_The most common triggers for malignancies are microbes, especially viruses. Bacterial and fungal-based malignancies are less common. Other common causes of malignancies include carcinogens including chemotherapy drugs, radiation exposure including radiation therapy, and hormones, especially xenoestrogens (herbicides, pesticides, some plastics, dioxins from paper mills, etc.) and estrogen replacement therapy. Parasitical infections may cause some cancers though these forms of cancer are extremely rare. Human genetics are believed to play a role in the development of some cancers, though the evidence for this hypothesis is very weak. Many of the so-called oncogenes (cancer genes) have actually been discovered to be of viral, not human, origin. By inserting their DNA in to healthy cells the viruses change the chemistry of the cell, and stimulate the overproduction of cellular division hormones.

_Oxygen and cancer myth

http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1450582_Depends a lot on the cancer, and where it is located. Deep, or inaccessible tumors can be treated with IV or IA injections, autohemotherapy, or rectal insufflation. Brain tumors respond very well to ear insufflation. Tumors that are superficial or otherwise directly accessible by a needle can be directly injected, but all injections require a glass, not plastic, syringe. Areas can also be bagged or ozonated water drunk. Drinking ozonated water is especially good for mouth, throat and stomach cancers combined with other methods. Areas damaged due to fungus secondary to the cancer, such as is commonly seen in basal cell carcinoma can be applied directly to the area by blowing the ozone on the area.
_Actually not that difficult to reverse the bone marrow failure in myelodysplastic syndrome from chemotherapy. My favorite herb for this is suma. I have seen it increase counts very quick despite still being on bone marrow damaging chemotherapy drugs. Another great choice is ___astragalus, which is also a great immune supporting herb. Both herbs also support adrenal function. Adding ___trimethylglycine (TMG) can also help since methylation helps with DNA repair.
- Another way ___olive leaf helps to fight cancer is through its antiviral activity/. Keeping in mind that most cancers have been linked to viral infections. Long before olive leaf became popular in the AIDS community to fight HIV, also a cancer virus, olive leaf's primary use was as a sedative, meaning it could also help with things such as high blood pressure as well. The AIDS community then discovered that olive leaf was also a source of natural protease inhibitors that inactivated viruses like HIV, formerly known as human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type 3 (HTLV-3). A few years later olive leaf started being promoted for many other conditions such as various infections.
- I think ___andrographis is much stronger than olive leaf. I would not take it with the andrographis due to the high tannin content of olive leaf.
- Technically cancer viruses are transmissible. For example, HPV viruses can be spread by contact or sexua| intercourse. Hepatitis viruses can be spread through several means as well. And the HIV virus is believed to be spread through various means including mosquito and bedbugs, which have been shown to carry the virus. HIV is actually a leukemia/lymphoma virus, which is interesting since the first leukemia virus, from chickens, was found to be airborne transmitted. But transmission does not mean chronic infection, nor the production of cancer. These require sufficiently suppressed immune systems to allow the viruses to take hold and cause problems such as cancer. Same principle as how you can be around someone with a cold or flu and not develop that cold or flu yourself. Viruses require immune suppression to take hold in a person's body.

http://medcapsules.com/forum/showthread.php?tid_3107A: [I'm] on a high-dose progesterone birth control and began having gut issues (mostly IBS-D type). also during this time period, took an antibiotic for a UTI. Started having loads of seemingly unrelated symptoms.
2. Was told by doc that I was pre-diabetic. Began eating low carb.
3. Started taking probiotics
4. Began having SIBO/lactic acidosis symptoms, but did not recognize them as such
5. Was given an antibiotic for an unrelated condition. This stopped the lactic acidosis symptoms, but gave me thrush and eventually, intestinal candida overgrowth
6. After trying many treatments, eventually found that high-dose biotin controlled the candida overgrowth. Began being constipated.
7. Took high-dose probiotics again, which helped the constipation, but eventually led me back to SIBO/lactic acidosis symptoms (this time around I figured out the unifying cause to all the seemingly unrelated symptoms).
8. Am taking antibiotics, but they are not stopping the lactic acidosis issues to the point where I can eat anything more than very low carb. Still taking high-dose biotin, because every time I try to wean off of it I have horrendous histamine/allergy type issues: hives, itching, itchy eyes, sniffles, you name it.
>>JS: simply generating lactic acid should not be causing all these problems as the body has various means to deal with acidity. Respiration is the primary means. Bicarbonate and excretion of hydrogen ions through the kidneys are the secondary means of acid reduction. There are other lesser means of acid removal as well, which is why it is so hard to develop acidosis. Although it can happen for several reasons such as the excess consumption of acids. The acids from the lactic acid forming bacteria should have been buffered or eliminated if everything was working properly, which leads me to believe that one of your other acid buffering/elimination systems is impaired. I am curious if you have had your kidney function tested recently? Antibiotic use can lead to kidney damage/failure, which in turn can contribute to acidosis by inhibiting the renal excretion of hydrogen ions.
__Candida
The trick to getting Candida under control is to get the immune system back in control. A good start to this is with ___probiotics, like kefir, and ___prebiotics, such as rice bran and FOS. ___Yucca root (Yucca schidegra) is another good choice as it helps to kill the yeast while making a more suitable terrain for the growth of the flora.
- Stress also adversely affects the immune system, which again helps Candida to thrive.
- There are many aspects to the immune system, but a couple of primary areas to focus on are the flora and the adrenal glands. To address the adrenals vitamin C is the most important. The B vitamin ___pantothenic acid is the second most important nutrient for the adrenals. ___Adaptogenic herbs are excellent for building up the adrenal glands. These include ___schisandra berries, jiaogulan, licorice root, suma, ashwagandha, Siberian ginseng, and astragalus. As you build up the adrenals you will also find that dealing with stress will become easier as the adrenals release more anti-stress hormones.
- ___Zinc is also essential for proper immune function and suppresses Candida. Recommended dose is 50mg once daily, or 25mg twice daily, with meals to prevent nausea. It does displace copper in high doses. Even though we tend to get plenty of copper from our food and water some people advise taking extra copper. Some companies do make a combined 50mg zinc with 2 mg copper. Or you can get a separate 2mg copper capsule and take one a day.
- Maintaining proper stomach acidity is essential as acid kills yeast and alkalinity is its friend. Stomach acid naturally declines with age making Candida overgrowth of the digestive system very common. The zinc I mentioned will help in the production of stomach acid. ___B vitamins (B6, B12, folate) are also essential for the production of stomach acid. Foods high in B vitamins, such as ___rice bran or oat bran are recommended or a B complex twice daily with meals.
- The problem is that these nutrients are also acid dependent for absorption. So the declining stomach acid actually interferes with the absorption of the nutrients needed to produce it. To get around this it is a very good idea to take something ___acidic with your meals for a while to enhance absorption. These can be non-buffered vitamin C (ascorbic acid), ___citric acid, malic acid, apple cider vinegar, or betaine HCl.
- In addition I recommend ___trimethylglycine (TMG), derived from beet leaves, 3 times daily, which among other things will boost the immune system and help the body to generate the digestive secretions it requires.
- The flora is another area to focus on. Probiotic bacteria produce lactic, acetic, and fatty acids that keep Candida under control. You can jump start their numbers with ___probiotic supplements like ___kefir. I recommend a glass first thing in the morning and a glass at night before bed. Follow with a little water to wash the acids off your teeth and to help dilute the stomach acid to help the bacteria to survive.
- Even with this there are only a limited number of the thousands of beneficial strains of bacteria that inhabit the intestines. Therefore, prebiotics are also recommended. Prebiotics are the foods that feed the flora so they can grown and thrive. Excellent choices include the fibers ___rice bran, ___oat bran and ___fructooligosaccharides (FOS).
- I also mentioned ___yucca root earlier. This herb cuts down on the fermentation caused by the Candida, and kills Candida. It also holds moisture in the intestines making a more suitable environment for the flora.
- Avoid anything that alkalizes the stomach acid. This includes antacids, acid blockers, and alkaline waters. Stomach acid is one of the body's first line defenses against pathogens. Neutralizing it is just asking for problems.
- The Candida diet is over hyped. There are several reasons for this.
- First is the fact that most of the sugar in our diets gets absorbed long before it reaches the colon where most of the Candida resides.
- Even though traces of glucose will reach the colon the growth of Candida albicans is still regulated not by the sugar present but rather the pH. A normal acidic pH turns off the Candida growth gene.
- It is virtually impossible to eliminate sugar from the diet since sugar is present in plants as well as meats. But let's say that someone could eliminate sugar from their diet. The body would simply generate glucose from other sources such as glycogen, proteins, fats and lactate.
- Therefore, to fight Candida I still feel that the most important thing that can be done is to re-establish the flora to restore the proper pH, which in turn keeps the Candida under control.
- Keep in mind that most people can eat sugars without causing Candida overgrowth. So there is obviously more to the equation than simply the presence of sugar. And the biggest remaining factor to this equation is the pH.
- Cutting out caffeine is a good idea regardless since the caffeine has various adverse effects on the body such as weakening adrenal function leading to a variety of health issues.
- But again, most anything we eat is going to have some simple sugars and/or can be broken down or converted in to simple sugars. A lot of people don't stop to think for example that even meats contain sugars. Think about it this way. If you eat a steak that steak is full of blood, which was carrying glucose to the cells. And there is the unused glucose in the cells from when the cells stop functioning. So there really is no avoiding sugar.
- I would not advocate a junk food diet for someone with candidiasis, but that is mainly because it does not support the flora nor immunity either. And consuming large amounts of sugar increase the likelihood that more unabsorbed sugar reaches the colon. On the other hand though as I pointed out the Candida diet is not really going to eliminate sugar. So the best way to control the Candida is to make the terrain inhospitable to Candida growth.
- A lack of stomach acid is much more likely to cause a reaction to a food. The reason being that the proteins in the food are not going to be broken down properly leading to the improperly digested proteins acting as immune antigens.
- I don't think there is any one diet for everyone and people's dietary needs can change in life. For example I use to race triathlons and do cross country bicycling. When I was doing that I was consuming an average of 10,000 calories a day with almost exclusively carbohydrates. I know that sounds like a lot but if you saw my daily training schedule it was definitely more than enough to burn it off. I am 6' 2" and I weighed 150 pounds. If I tried to eat like that now I would probably weigh 800 pounds. Back then though I also found that I could not eat much in the way of meat. Every time I tried my energy levels would bottom out in a few days. As soon as I went back to the high carb diet my energy would return to normal. Now my diet is more varied since I do not race anymore or do cross country. I still do not eat much in the way of meat, which works well for me. But I know some people who feel much better with more meat in their diet. And then there are the metabolic differences such as a person with diabetes cannot eat like a higher carbohydrate diet that some do well on.
- So there is no single one diet fits all. All these books on specialized diets are simply sales gimmicks in my opinion. People need to find what works for them.
- Killing the Candida may help in some cases such as thrush. Although, there is still the issue of how someone chooses to kill the Candida. For example, one method I have seen is the use of the digestive enzymes cellulase and hemicellulase to digest the Candida cell walls. On the surface this sounds plausible and I have read a lot of people fall for this. But they are not hearing or taking in to account the entire story.
- Fist problem with the use of these enzymes is that cellulose and hemicellulose are both composed of repeating glucose units. Therefore, as these enzymes break down the cellulose and hemicellulose they produce glucose that turn around and feed the surviving Candida.
- The second problem is that the the insoluble fibers that help feed the flora also consist of cellulose and hemicellulose. As the cellulase and hemicellulase enzymes digest these fibers they destroy the fibers needed for the flora to ferment in order to produce the acids needed to control the Candida. In addition, there is the same problem of the breakdown of the cellulose and hemicellulose leading to increased glucose being present to feed the Candida.
- There are some herbs that can help kill off Candida without feeding the Candida such as ___yucca root (Yucca schidegra) and ___turmeric powders.
- But the main focus still should be on restoring the ___flora since this is the body's main means of controlling Candida.
- Alkalinity promotes Candida overgrowth
- There is a very persistent myth that Candida albicans cannot survive a high (alkaline) pH. The fact is that C. albicans can survive very acid to extremely alkaline pH. The primary difference is the form it takes on dependent on the pH. At a low (acidic) pH C. albicans remains in a less pathogenic yeast form, and its growth is inhibited. When C. albicans is exposed to a high (alkaline) pH it promotes the formation of its hyphal growth. This hyphal growth allows C. albicans to not only become pathogenic, but also to allow it to invade deep in to tissues and to promote organ damage. This hyphal growth is inhibited at an acidic pH of 4 or below reducing tissue invasion and damage. I have compiled some research from non-commercial sites to prove these facts. The growth of C. albicans in an alkaline environment, as well as an acidic environment in a pH range of 2 to 10:

http://www.springerlink.com/content/06crgmq4x3nj2820/- "In vitro, C. albicans can thrive over a remarkably wide range of extracellular pH, at pH values of 2-10 (Odds 1988)". They also point out that alkalinity promotes hyphal growth of C. albicans.
-
http://www.springerlink.com/content/j5v6h012235h3576/- "Upon response to environmental stimuli C. albicans can switch between yeast-like and filamentous, hyphal growth. This allows C. albicans to generate niche specific responses, form biofilms, adhere, and invade epithelial tissues. "
- It is this switch to the hyphal growth, from alkalinity, that allows C. albicans to become pathogenic by more readily invading tissues:
-

-
http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(06) 00252-1
- Hyphal growth has been shown to be inhibited at the acidic pH of 4 in all strains of C. albicans showing that an acidic pH helps to prevent C. albicans from being pathogenic. An alkaline pH on the other hand promotes pathogenesis of C. albicans as it promotes hyphal growth. The article from the following link points out what I have been trying to explain to people for decades. Stomach acid helps to control pathogen growth, including Candida. The same applies to the skin, which is normally slightly on the acidic side. When the pH is raised to the alkaline side candidiasis of the skin is promoted.
-
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi? artid_1770313
- "In tissue samples from mucosal surfaces with a non-acidic pH, such as the tongue, oesophagus, intestine, and most skin areas, filamentous forms of C albicans predominated, and most of them exhibited both 1H4 immunostaining and an invasive phenotype (fig 3A ). In internal organs having a non-acidic pH (liver, lung, heart, and thyroid) from patients with systemic candidiasis, variable numbers of yeast cells were found, together with hyphae or pseudohyphae in virtually all cases. In these tissues, both yeast and filamentous forms showed strong 1H4 immunoreactivity (fig 3B , C). In contrast, in those tissues with an acidic pH, such as the stomach and collecting ducts of the kidney, the predominant form of C albicans was the blastospore (yeast). Interestingly, in these locations yeast cells essentially showed no 1H4 immunoreactivity (fig 3D , E). However, when adjacent tissue invasion was present, hyphae or pseudohyphae were the predominant form."
- "The ability to undergo transition from the yeast to the hyphal form appears to be crucial in the pathogenesis of invasive candidiasis. 4– 6 Both yeast cells and hyphae are found in infected tissues and contribute to pathogenesis. Yeast cells are better suited for rapid haematogenous dissemination, but together with hyphal elements they are also capable of breaching epithelial and endothelial barriers to cause extensive organ damage. 4 During the infectious process, yeast cells and hyphae may encounter different microenvironments within the host. At acidic pH, C albicans grows mostly in the yeast form; at an alkaline pH, it grows primarily in the filamentous form. 2, 6, 7 Gastric acid provides an effective barrier to most microorganisms (normal gastric pH values are 1–3.5). In contrast, achlorhydria and the use of H2 antagonists, which raise gastric pH, have been found to be associated with a higher proportion of invasive gastric candidiasis. 17 Similarly, although the skin is relatively inhospitable to fungal growth, 18 the experimental increase of skin surface pH yields more pronounced cutaneous candidiasis in human volunteers. 19"
- As I have pointed out numerous times women in particular get yeast infections after antibiotic therapy because of the shift in vaginal pH to the alkaline side. The normal pH of the **** is slightly acid, which helps to prevent Candida overgrowth as well as other pathogens. This is because most pathogens cannot survive an acidic environment. The acidity comes from beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria (flora) that produce lactic, acetic and fatty acids. When a woman takes antibiotics the flora are destroyed and the acids not being produced in sufficient quantities to maintain the proper acidic pH. When the pH is shifted to the alkaline side as I pointed out in my earlier post the Candida converts from a mild yeast form in to a more virulent and pathogenic form. Thus the Candida overgrowth.
- More evidence that acids control Candida:
http://www.arltma.com/CandidaNews.htm- "Acidity and candida. Yeast thrives in an alkaline environment. Gastric hydrochloric acid deficiency is widespread and allows yeast to survive passage through the stomach. The colon and **** should be slightly acid, which would discourage yeast growth. However, in many people they are alkaline due to improper bowel flora, enzyme deficiencies and diets high in fruit and other carbohydrates."
-
http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/candida.htm- "Slow metabolism, deficient acid in the stomach, an over-alkaline intestinal tract and copper imbalance allow candida to flourish in the body. Weak adrenals, improper bowel flora, diets high in sugar and taking antibiotics, antacids, birth control pills and steroid hormones contribute to candida infection."
- More from the above site:
"CAUSES - SLOW METABOLISM
- In their order of importance, causes include slow metabolism, copper imbalance, alkaline intestines and tissues, medications, high carbohydrate diets and other toxins. Most people with candida are slow metabolizers. While their cells are more acidic, their intercellular spaces are too alkaline. Their bodies do not generate enough acid end products of metabolism such as lactic acid. Calcium, an alkaline-forming element, also builds up adding to the alkalinity. Candida thrives in an alkaline environment and becomes able to invade tissues and cause serious illness.
- Slow metabolizers are also often deficient in hydrochloric acid. Stomach acid normally kills candida. This is one reason ___acidophilus, an acid-forming organism, often helps alleviate candida."
- "Antibiotic overuse ranks high as a cause for candida. Acidophilus and other friendly yeasts help maintain an acidic intestinal environment. Antibiotics often kill acidophilus. E. coli and other bacteria replace the friendly organisms and produce an alkaline environment in which candida thrives."
- "Antacids and other drugs that reduce acid may worsen candida by creating a deficiency of stomach acid. Ulcers and heartburn are often due to wheat allergy or factors other than excess stomach acid. Antacid drugs include Prilosec, Prevacid, Zantac, Pepcid, Tagamet, Mylanta, Malox, Gaviscon, Riopan, Rolaids, Tums, Nexium and others. Birth control pills and steroid drugs such as cortisone or prednisone also contribute to candida."

http://iai.asm.org/cgi/reprint/72/11/6206.pdf- LAB stands for ___lactic acid bacteria "LAB are also known to inhibit C. albicans colonization of the epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract in mice and subsequent hyphal invasion and systemic infection (45)."

__CANDIDIASIS
Candidiasis can manifest as vaginal yeast infections, thrush, excessive intestinal bloating, etc. These are some of the better indicators since many of the symptoms frequently associated with Candidiasis on many websites either have nothing to do with Candida overgrowth or can also be attributed to a number of other things.

I still prefer saponins for this purpose since they are not irritants and they offer so many other benefits. But the cayenne is still fine as long as you are not nightshade sensitive.
- Some plants, including some adaptogens, are rich in polysaccharides. These are not good to take with autoimmune conditions as they stimulate white blood cell activity. This can speed up the rate of tissue destruction. ___Ashwagandha though does not fall in to this category, so I think they are confusing the plant with something else. It is safe to take with Hashimoto's thyroidosis. Ashwagandha is frequently used to treat ulcers.
- There are plenty of non-stimulatory adaptogens such as ___astragalus, ___Chinese licorice root, ___ashwagandha, etc. that will not overstimulate the adrenals.
- I actually buy my herbs from raw material suppliers and wholesalers. Starwest has good quality herbs:
http://www.starwest-botanicals.com . The wild crafted I really prefer over "organic". Organic is pretty much an overpriced rip off. You are really only paying for the name. Organic items are still often irrigated with surface water, which is going to be contaminated. They have higher bacterial and fungal counts. And if they are farm raised they are not as stressed by nature, so they do not develop as high of levels of phytochemicals. Wild crafted herbs are watered from rain and snow, which is cleaner. And they have lower microbial counts due to their higher levels of phytochemicals. So I ALWAYS go with wild crafted whenever possible.

___Magnesium Malate, ___Nettle/___Alfalfa pwd h.t/mealx3, ___TMG 1g/b4mealx3, ___JuniperBry q.t/mealx3
_A: Other symptoms I have include a burning or scraping pain in my small intestine, and near-constant constipation.
_JS: The scraping in the intestines can be a few things including diverticulitis or colitis.
_Constipation can have various causes, but one of these again is an excess of calcium and/or lack of ___magnesium.
_Other things that can contribute include dehydration, lack of dietary fiber, hypothyroidism, over use of stimulant laxatives and nerve damage.
_A lack of ___flora can also lead to constipation. In your case though you mentioned having an excess of acid forming bacteria.
___Nettle leaf or ___alfalfa herb are both great for buffering acids. I prefer the herb powder. I recommend a half teaspoon three times daily before meals. It is not toxic so you can always increase it if it helps but you need more of an effect. Alfalfa herb is also a good herb rich in alkaline minerals.
_I recommend 1g ___TMG three times daily. Generally it does not matter if it before or with meals, but in your case I would say before for a more rapid absorption.
___Juniper berries are very supporting to the pancreas, but they also drop blood sugar like crazy so you should have a little something in the stomach when using them. Here I would recommend less, such as a 1/4 teaspoon three times daily. The juniper berries also help with other areas of digestion.
__COPD
_Not all cases of COPD involve infection so the primary focus would be on increasing the elastin. Both collagen and elastin require vitamin C and silica for production. Although there are other nutrients involved it is the vitamin C and silica that tend to be deficient leading to loss of these structural proteins.
_Keep in mind that simply increasing vitamin C intake will not do much if the body's demand for vitamin C is increased due to things like caffeine, nicotine or other stimulant use, steroidal medications or chronic stress. The body can only utilize a certain amount of vitamin C at a time. If the amount of C required by the body exceeds the amount of vitamin C the body can absorb a deficiency can still occur regardless of how much vitamin C is taken.
_Contrary to what the doctors claim COPD can be reversed. It just takes time. You did not specify what form of COPD, but I am assuming either chronic emphysema or bronchitis. In both of these cases the alveoli in the lungs have lost elastin and thus their elasticity. Elastin is restored primarily by supplementing with silica and vitamin C, which are the primary deficiencies leading to collagen and elastin deficiency disorders.
_For silica though using the diatomaceous earth in water is the best way to get the silica. Bamboo is also a good source of silica if using capsules. Don't use horsetail grass (shavegrass) since it can constrict blood vessels impeding circulation.
_The NAC can help thin out the mucus as can supplementing with cayenne pepper. A diluted peroxide can be used in a nebulizer to help control infections and to break up mucus. I would not go any higher than a 1% solution though.
_When there is a respiratory infection here is an old post I did on how to treat respiratory infections:

Yes, ___slippery elm forms a slicky mucilage that helps to hydrate the feces and to help move the feces easier through the intestines. This is especially great for people who have hemorrhoids from straining during bowel movements since it makes the bowel movements so much easier.
_I also like the fact that slippery elm is not a stimulant laxative like senna, cascara sagrada, rhubarb root or the aloes since these can cause a laxative dependence after a few weeks of use.
_How to make it more "palatable"?
_With slippery elm and other mucilages such as ___marshmallow root I prefer to add some ___licorice root powder. Licorice root is 50 times sweeter than sugar and has many health properties such as being a steroidal anti-inflammatory, supporting the liver and kidneys, supporting the adrenals, being antiviral and immune enhancing (increases interferon), etc.
_You do not need very much if you are just going for flavor. And contrary to popular belief it does not taste like black licorice, which some people do not like the flavor of. Black licorice candy is generally flavored with star anise.
___Bitters help by increasing stomach acid and enzymes to promote digestion and reduce fermentation.
_Building up your ___flora should help reduce your gluten intolerance. Adrenal dysfunction also contributes to gluten intolerance.
_If you want to avoid the ___brans you can also use ___vegetable gums such a konjac (glucomannnan) or guar gum, which are very effective in stimulating flora growth. ___Fructooligodsaccharides (FOS) or ___Jerusalem artichoke are other good options.

_Here is a database of over 100 studies on hydroxychloroquine for Covid, most showing positive results:
https://c19study.com/. The one major study the media relied on to try and discredit hydroxychloroquine posted in the prestigious journal the Lancet had to be retracted because it was so faulty and the Lancet issued an apology for printing the trash:

Could it be simply that Bill Gates, the same guy who said we need to reduce the world population, has $10 billion invested in to the development of a vaccine...?
_A positive Covid test does not mean infected with Covid. There is actually no standard lab test that can confirm infection with any particular virus.
_Antibody tests ... are notoriously inaccurate with a super high false positive rate....
_Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has its own series of flaws and also cannot prove infection with the virus either. ... PCR ... is more likely like 20% accura[te] or less when other issues with testing such as contamination, machine calibration, annealing time, etc, are factored in. ... This problem has been widely discussed in the medical journals, which unfortunately neither most doctors nor the media ever read....

__CRAMPS, MUSCLE
The most common cause of leg cramps is a lack of magnesium and/or too much calcium. Keep in mind that calcium is a muscle contractor and magnesium a muscle relaxant. High calcium intake, high serum calcium from sources such as hyperparathyroidism, or low magnesium intake can all lead to muscle cramping.

__CYST
External cysts are generally from plugged glands. For example, excess sebum blocking a pore or infections. Internal cysts can also develop from blockages of glands, but a poorly functioning lymphatic system can also contribute. This is why lymphatic cleansers are often recommended for internal cysts. Hormones can increase sebum production.

__DEPRESSION, D: **PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS
_You often say there are many causes of depression. If phosphatidylserine alleviates someone's depression, does it indicate a cause? Or can PS work for many causes?
_The primary role of PS is depression is its ability to raise dopamine levels. Low dopamine is one cause of depression. For example people who abuse **** will eventually fall in to a very deep depression. The reason is **** stimulates the release of dopamine in the nerve synapse, which is what causes the "high". Normally when dopamine is released in to the synapses reuptake pumps will reabsorb and recycle the dopamine. **** though blocks theese reuptake pumps though so the dopamine does not get reabsorbed and recycled. Instead the dopamine gets broken down by oxidation and eliminated from the body. Since the body is so slow to generate dopamine frequent use of the drug leads to the dopamine being depleted faster than the body can generate it and the person ends up in a deep depression from the inadequate dopamine levels.
_PS also helps reduce stress through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal. Stress can also contribute to depression.
_If combined with phosphatidylcholine (PC), this helps even more by helping to maintain acetylcholine levels and through increased methylation. PC is another of the several phospholipids found in lecithin. This is a great example of the synergy I have mentioned so many times. The whole becomes more effective than the individual isolate due to the synergy. In this case the depression may not need the acetylcholine because acetylcholine levels are not abnormally low, but the PC will still provide additional choline for the methylation needed for the PS to increase dopamine levels.
_Also, you said that lecithin can aggravate hormonal issues in some women. What does lecithin do that could cause that?
_It is not known why. Several studies have shown no direct effect on hormone levels. Evening primrose oil, black current seed oil and borage seed oil are also known to have this same issue.
_The amino acid tyrosine is the precursor for dopamine production. Remember to take it on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals.
_The herb bupleurum will also raise dopamine levels and cleanse the liver at the same time. Unfortunately it is not one one of those easy herbs to find.
_And don't forget TMG as a methyl donor to help promote neurotransmitter production.

- Carbohydrates do not need to be avoided, they are not evil. But simple and refined carbohydrates should be limited.
- Same for meats. They do not need to be eliminated but should be limited since animal proteins provide inflammatory arachidonic acid.

__DRY MOUTH
Dry mouth can be from medications, potassium deficiencies, dehydration, certain foods or some disorders such as Sjogren's syndrome [dry mouth & dry eyes].
__EAR INFECTION
_Antibiotics only work for bacteria. And since they kill of the beneficial bacteria that control fungi, the antibiotics can make fungal infections worse.
_I am not a fan of putting liquids containing water in the ear though since any water remaining in the ear can breed bacteria and fungus.
_A few options would be to add a pau d' arco tincture to a small amount of olive oil to drive off the water and alcohol then use warm the oil and use as ear drops to kill the fungus and to soften up any ear wax. After about 20 minutes I would use a bulb syringe to gently suck out the oil.
_Or make an extract with pure alcohol, no water, to use as ear drops.
__EAR INFECTION POLYP
_To shrink it, get access to an ozone unit to blow ozone into the ear.
Pau d' arco will still help keep the inflammation down.
_If there is mold, it is very difficult to eradicate. If it is in an area where the flora normally inhabit then the flora can be replaced to help produce acids that will help to destroy the mold. Ozone is also effective in destroying it.
__EDEMA
___Potassium
I am having edema on and off for the last couple of weeks. My mouth and eyes are often dry yet I drink a lot of spring and DE water. I use sea salt but not much. And when I have table salt (like on tortilla chips), it is more noticeable.
- Sounds like a low potassium problem. Have you tried increasing your intake of ___potassium rich foods such as kiwis, papaya, oranges, parsley, watermelon, ripe bananas, etc? Potassium is a natural diuretic by displacing the sodium that can cause fluid retention.
__EDEMA
_Edema related to circulation (vascular), heart or liver problems
_Most of the time, the edema is not a serious illness, but it may be a sign for one. Here are some examples:
_Venous insufficiency can cause edema in the feet and ankles, because the veins are having trouble transporting enough blood all the way to the feet and back to the heart. This means that it gathers in the legs, and fluid is forced out of the blood vessels into the surrounding tissue. Edema can also be caused by varicose veins.
_Congestive heart failure can cause both peripheral edema and abdominal edema (ascites). This is because the heart is too weak to pump blood around the body properly, so the blood gathers in front of the heart. Because of this, and due to the increased blood pressure in the veins, fluid seeps out into the surrounding tissue. This may cause swelling in the legs or a build-up of fluid in the abdomen. If the person spends a lot of time lying down, the edema might show up on his or her back (called sacral edema). Congestive heart failure can also cause edema in the lungs (pulmonary edema). This is not common, but the condition is life-threatening. It means the lungs are filling with fluid because the left side of the heart is not strong enough to pump the blood returning from the lungs. The blood gathers in the blood vessels of the lung, and fluid seeps out into the lung tissue. The signs are shortness of breath and rapid, shallow breathing or coughing.
_Kidney disease could cause edema in the legs and around the eyes, because when the kidneys do not remove enough sodium and water from the body, the pressure in the blood vessels starts building up, which can lead to edema.
_Low protein levels in the blood: If there is a lack of the protein albumin in the blood, fluid can leak out of blood vessels more easily. Low protein in the blood can be caused by extreme malnutrition, as well as kidney and liver diseases which mean that the body loses too much or produces too little protein.
_Liver diseases: Scarring of liver tissue (liver cirrhosis) due to, for instance, long-term alcohol abuse or a liver inflammation, can cause edema in the abdomen (called ascites). This is because cirrhosis causes a lack of proteins and congestion in the liver, which can lead to increased pressure in the blood vessels. As a result, fluid seeps out into the abdomen.
_Severe lung conditions like emphysema can also cause edema in the legs and feet if the pressure in the lungs and heart gets very high.
__ENERGY, LOW
(*B means half hour before meals)
_Sloane shows a good variety of healthy energy boosters:
Bee pollen *B (may be allergenic), Carnitine *B, Licorice root, or a good quality Panax Ginseng, B Vitamins (such as in Rice Bran), Schisandra, Nettle leaf, Rhodiola, Eleuthero, Amla *B, Passion flower, Lycium, Jiaogulan.

__
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1740199#i_Pollen and carnitine are both good choices for energy. Pollen is high in B vitamins for energy and is the richest herbal source of pantothenic acid for adrenal support. Start out slow with it though to make sure you are not allergic. And if you ever change pollen sources start out slow again since you can be allergic to one pollen and not another. Carnitine helps move fatty acids into the mitochondria to be used as a fuel, which increases cellular energy production. Both are best taken on an empty stomach [with some water].

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1473448#i_Caffeine stimulates the release of epinephrine (adrenaline), which gives us that stimulant effect. But the body only produces small amounts of epinephrine at a time, and is only supposed to be released in small amounts on occasion. When we are constantly stimulating epinephrine release with stimulants our epinephrine stores get used up and our energy levels crash. When they take the coffee they stimulate the release of the tiny amount of epinephrine remaining leaving insufficient levels of epinephrine to give them energy, so they go to sleep.
_This is a bad thing as the adrenals regulate so many things in the body.
__
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1473489#i_Then there are also other factors that affect energy levels. Thyroid function is one. And women tend to be a lot more prone to hypothyroidism than men. So this could be a factor. Liver function is a factor. Diet is a factor. Red blood cell levels and function are a factor. How we utilize our fats will play a role. Again people who do radical exercise will have systems that will spare glycogen and burn fat more efficiently, which is the best fuel source for the body. They also utilize oxygen more efficiently.
__
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1808816#iSchisandra is not a central nervous system stimulant, but it can increase energy due to its supportive effect on the adrenals. It blends really well with the Chinese licorice root.
__FACIAL SPIDER VEINS
The spider veins (nevus) on the face is from high estrogen levels. This can indicate liver problems as a normally functioning liver breaks down excess estrogen.
__FAINT FEELING
_Felt faint all day after taking small amount of licorice root for hypoglycemia. First of all licorice root is commonly used to treat hypoglycemia due to its cortisol like structure and effects on cortisol. And the reaction is lasting too long to make hypoglycemia likely. And the amount you took was so low that even rebound hypoglycemia from the increase of blood sugar would be unlikely. One thing you did not mention is how long it was between chewing on the root and the reaction. If it was pretty much immediate then I would say it is not hypoglycemia.
_One other possibility is an allergic reaction. Sulfites are frequently used on cut licorice root to maintain color. And sulfites are common allergens. This can occur with very small amounts and often occurs almost immediately. This can cause the same symptoms including drops in blood pressure and the effects are longer lasting than with hypoglycemic reactions.
_Taking nettle leaf with the licorice would be a better choice due to the chromium and protein for blood sugar stabilization and its antihistamine effect to help counter allergic responses.
_To counter any potential issues with licorice root I recommend a half to one teaspoon of nettle leaf with the licorice root to help maintain blood sugar and as an antihistamine. In fact, taking it about 20 minutes before the licorice root would be even better to give the nettle a chance to start taking effect before taking the licorice root in case the reaction to the licorice is quick. A half teaspoon 3 times a day is good.
_Sometimes the vagus nerve is being stimulated from the intestines, which can drop the blood pressure. The vagus nerve is a pathway from the brain to the intestines and vice versa.
_A simple way to overwhelm bad bacteria is with large amounts of good bacteria. For example a simple way to address food poisoning is to down as much kefir or liquid Acidophilus as you can at once. The beneficial bacteria overwhelm the bad bacteria. You should be able to do the same thing in this case. Although this is a time where you do not want to increase your stomach acid since many of the bacteria are acid sensitive. This is why the best time to really down probiotics is first thing in the morning as soon as you get up since this is when the stomach acid is generally at its lowest level. Taking a little water with the probiotics will also help dilute any forming stomach acid. I like the peach kefir, but I leave it sit in my fridge for at least 2 to 3 weeks to allow more of the sugars to get used up before I drink it.

For liver support there is turmeric (a dash with meals) and Milk Thistle seed (half a teaspoon 4 times daily at least 20 minutes before meals). Do this for at least 2 months, then cut back to once or twice a day with both (Lecithin & Thistle) for maintenance. PS, dandelion flowers are considerably higher in lecithin than soy.
__FEAR
Regarding "I read earlier that you recomended periwinkle for dementia. What are your recomendations for psychotic type thought disorder, basically fear."
First I recommend working on the adrenal glands with vitamin C and pantothenic acid sources as well as adaptogenic herbs. This will help prevent the over secretion of norepinephrine, which is the neurotransmitter involved in fear. My other recommendation is a neurotransmitter inhibitor such as GABA, taurine or glycine. Glycine is the smallest of the molecules and the most readily absorbed. If using GABA the recommended dose is 750mg 3 times daily or for the taurine or glycine 1,000mg 3 times daily. All of these should be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals.
__FLU
_This is a reply to # 1,468,800
_The best herb for colds/flu is andrographis. I also like amla berry, which is a lot better than camu camu. Camu camu is rather unstable. Though it does not sound like you are in shape to go to the health food store.
_So as an alternative for right now you can bundle up in some blankets to raise your body temperature and sweat like crazy. Keep a lot of water on hand and drink it frequently so you do not get dehydrated. Sounds strange but it actually works very well.
_Sipping on ginger tea throughout the day can also help reduce the nausea and muscle aches.
_The silica and vitamin C will help with the COPD.
_To get your white blood cell counts up I recommend suma, which also helps your cells to utilize oxygen properly and helps with hormone balance.
_Also avoid any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen, since these can damage the bone marrow inhibiting white blood cell production.
_I won't say anything about the caffeine. You have suffered enough and I think you learned your lesson.
__GALLSTONES PREVENTION
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1671139#i_My conclusion was that my production of bile needed to be increased so i added lecithin and more fish oil.
_You also need fiber to form bile salts. Rice bran or oat bran are good sources and will provide B vitamins that will also help with your hormones. Estrogen increases cholesterol in bile and progesterone prevents emptying, both leading to increased risk of gallstones. Bitters will also increase bile formation.
__GASTRITIS & GERD
_Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. Again the adrenals control the body's inflammation through the production and release of corticosteroids.
_GERD is caused from fermentation due to a lack of stomach acid. Cayenne pepper increases stomach acidity.
_Raising your stomach acid lets you absorb B vitamins and silica better. And these help the kidneys and adrenals. And B vitamins are needed by the liver to help it detox.
__GLAUCOMA
_There are a couple of things that I know of that will drop interocular pressure. Vitamin C sources will help. I prefer natural sources to the synthetics since they tend to be stronger and more stable. Good sources include berries, watercress, papaya, kiwis, rosehips, acerola cherry and amla.
_The other is coleus forskohlii. Traditionally the coleus forskohlii is made in to eye drops for the treatment of glaucoma. I am not sure if the already prepared eye drops are sold anywhere or not. It has been found that taking coleus forskohlii internally can help as well, although it is not as effective as the eye drops.
_Basically it would be making a water extract of the herb or powdered extract. ... Probably the easiest way to go would be to use a base of regular saline eye drops since this should already have a preservative.
__GLUTEN INTOLERANCE
_This is an autoimmune condition that leads to damage of the villi.
_My recommendations include vitamin C sources to build the adrenals. Natural is better than the synthetic stuff sold in stores. Natural sources include watercress, papaya, kiwis, berries, amla, and acerola cherry. Pantothenic acid is also important for the adrenals. The highest herbal source is bee pollen. Nutritional yeast, rice bran, seaweeds and nettle leaf are also good sources. Adaptogenic herbs will help support adrenal function as well. The best adaptogens are jiaogulan (Gynostemma), schisandra berry, Siberian ginseng, suma, astragalus, ashwagandha, and licorice root.
_Although not classified as adaptogens, nettle leaf, rosehips, and yucca root are also very supportive to the adrenals.
_Yucca root and licorice root are also excellent steroidal anti-inflammatories to help reduce intestinal inflammation. They also support the growth of the flora.
_Nettle leaf and seaweeds are nutrient rich to help promote healing. Dried comfrey root would also be a good choice for promoting healing if you can find it. It is hard to come by these days due to the FDA's claim of liver damage. Only the fresh root does this. The liver toxic alkaloids are very unstable and break down through oxidation in a couple of months after being dried. Comfrey is not for the endocrine glands, but rather it contains a high level of allantoin, which is a cellular stimulant. So it promotes healing of tissues. Just remember to dry the roots and age them for at least 2 months before using them. Clean the roots then slice them really thin to promote drying. You can then spread them out on some wax paper or a screen to dry.
_There is no cell in your body is as old as you are. Every cell in the body is replaced every 5 to 7 years. So the allantoin will also help with the regeneration of the cells from glands.

_Sweet smelling urine is a sign of uncontrolled diabetes. [A] metallic smell could [come] from traces of blood in the urine from kidney damage due to diabetes.
_A burnt rubber smell could be a few things. Kidney disease or urinary tract infection would be the most likely culprits if pretty consistent.
_Blood in the urine can also develop from diabetes due to insulin damage to the kidneys.
_Lots of bubbles in the urine can indicate protein in the urine. Combined with the metallic smell I would suspect blood in the urine due to damage to the kidney's nephrons.
_Medications that can cause gout are: Diuretics, chemotherapy drugs, immune suppressants, levadopa and antibiotics. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can damage the kidneys contributing to gout. These include aspirin, ibuprofen, celecoxib, naproxen, etc.
_It is well known that the adverse effects of liver and kidney failure by NSAIDs is due to impeded blood flow to these organs due to ... constiction of the blood vessels. Other organs, such as the heart, as well as glands are adversely affected by the impeded blood flow in the same manner. ... These [NSAID] drugs include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin), naproxen, (Aleve), aspirin, rofecoxib (Vioxx), and celecoxib (Celebrex).
_Some metals can cause kidney damage such as elemental germanium, but high blood pressure, diabetes and high protein intake and a lack of water intake are the most common causes for kidney damage.
_Kidney dysfunction is not the only cause of gout. And the kidneys are not the only source of urate elimination from the body. Urate is also excreted through the intestine and through sweat.
_[Drink water with minerals.]
_Vitamin C may help prevent gout.
_Herbs that are especially good for the kidneys are: In particular the nettle leaf and licorice root. If you want more kidney support then I recommend adding some schisandra berry. Schisandra also contains malic acid, which dissolves uric acid. (Frankincense though is a resin and resins are hard on the kidneys if used for long periods of time.)
_[Good food sources of malic acid are Fruits:
apples, watermelon, bananas, cherries, apricots, cranberries, peaches, plums, tomatoes, pears, pineapple, gooseberries, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, kiwi, lychees, mango, nectarines, oranges, peaches, pears and strawberries;
- and Vegetables: broccoli, beans, carrots, peas, potatoes, tomatoes and rhubarb.]
_Licorice supports the liver, kidneys, reduces inflammation and boosts immunity.
_Licorice in large or chronic doses may also be harmful for people who have diabetes or kidney disease. Large quantities of licorice can increase hypertension and excitability as well.

http://l00k.createaforum.com/h/health-2-truth-in-medicine/__HEART DISEASE
_Arterial plaque is an accumulation of calcified fatty acids on the arterial wall. Trauma to the arterial lining leads to an inflammatory condition on the artery wall. The body responds by laying down plaque as kind of a patchwork. Trauma to the artery may occur for various reasons, such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and bypasses. Bypasses are performed by cutting out a vein from the leg. The vein is not only cut out, it is also handled, trimmed, and sewn in to its new position. This massive amount of trauma to the vein used for the bypass inflames the blood vessel, and quickly leads to plaque formation and failure of the bypass. This explains why the original blood vessel occlusion from plaque takes many decades to build up, but bypasses generally fail within 2 to 5 years.
_The easiest way to clean plaque out of the arteries is with the fatty acid lecithin. Lecithin is a fat emulsifier. In other words the lecithin helps to dissolve the fats in the arterial plaque so these fats will not adhere to blood vessel walls, and will be flushed from the body. I recommend lecithin granules over the liquid or pills. The recommended dosage is 1 tablespoon of the granules 3 times a day with each meal. They can be sprinkled over food or blended in juice or a shake.
_Magnesium helps reduce the risk of heart disease by helping to remove arterial plaque, and by lowering blood pressure. Magnesium helps to remove arterial plaque by displacing the calcium in the plaque. This softens the plaque and makes it easier for the body to remove the plaque. Magnesium lowers blood pressure by acting similar to a calcium channel blocker. By pushing calcium out of the nerve synapse, blood vessels relax lowering the blood pressure and increasing blood flow to the heart muscle allowing it to work more efficiently.
_Magnesium may also help prevent diabetic related heart disease. This action is due to magnesium's role in helping to regulate blood sugar levels, and by helping prevent damage to blood vessels due to the strong blood vessel constricting effects of insulin. Most of the serious side effects of diabetes are due to rupturing of blood vessels, or blood vessel damage, due to elevated levels of insulin in the blood. These side effects include diabetic retinopathy (loss of vision), renal (kidney) failure, gangrene, and heart disease.
_Silica assists in preventing plaque formation in the arteries by strengthening blood vessel walls to prevent damage, and by acting as a mild anti-inflammatory. Tissue levels of silica decline as we age due to decreases in stomach acid. Therefore to ensure proper silica absorption avoid the use of antacids and acid blockers. Taking silica with an acid source, such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C), citric acid from citrus fruits, or acetic acid (vinegar) will aid in the absorption of the silica. Silica is found in fibers, diatomaceous earth, and herbs including bamboo, couch grass, and horsetail grass.
_Other herbs that help with removing arterial plaque are hawthorn and violets. The flowers of hawthorn are the strongest part of the plant, though the leaves and berries are also effective. A combination of all three is the best. Hawthorn also aids in lowering blood pressure, and strengthens the heart muscle. The berries contain bioflavonoids that help stabilize blood vessel walls. Violets, or pansies, are an old time favorite for treating heart disease, which is why they are also referred to as heart ease. The plants not only remove arterial plaque, but they also contain a natural form of aspirin to help thin the blood.
_Vitamin C helps with the prevention of heart disease by strengthening blood vessel walls. There were reports that vitamin C increased the risk of heart disease, though this came about from a misinterpretation of the actual study. The study found that vitamin C increase the thickness of arterial walls, and therefore someone improperly concluded that this narrowing increased the risk of a heart attack. The fact is that vitamin C, along with other nutrients, such as silica and sulfur, help to maintain the integrity of the arterial wall through the production of the proteins collagen and elastin, which give tissues their strength and elasticity. Without sufficient levels of these compounds in the tissues the blood vessels become more prone to damage, inflammation, plaque formation, and aneurysm. The best source of vitamin C is amla berries (Indian gooseberry). The berries are stronger and more stable than synthetic vitamin C, and it contains bioflavonoids that make the vitamin C work more efficiently. In addition amla berries significantly raise levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps to reduce the inflammatory process that leads to arterial plaque formation.
_Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart muscle fails to contract efficiently enough to pump the blood through the body properly. Treatment of CHF is primarily directed towards strengthening the heart muscle. This is generally done with cardiac glycosides, derived from plants, such as digitalis derivatives from foxglove. Though cardiac glycosides can be very dangerous because they not only slow the heart muscle andd they may also lower blood pressure drastically. Cardiac glycosides can vary considerably in strength. For instance, digoxin from digitalis, and nerine and oleandrin from oleander are extremely dangerous to use. By contrast, the cardiac glycosides from lily of the valley and night blooming cereus (cactus grandiflorus) are much weaker and are generally safe when used properly. Even so, I highly recommend not using any cardiac glycosides without supervision by a doctor or herbalist knowledgeable on their use.
_The herb coleus forskohlii, or forskohlii, has the same effect as cardiac glycosides, though it does not contain these compounds. Forskohlii contains an alkaloid, called forskohlin, which elevates levels of a cellular regulator, known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Like cardiac glycosides, cAMP slows the heart muscle and strengthens heart contractions. It also stimulates the production of another substance, known as nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels that in turn lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart. Forskohlii also helps to regulate the thyroid, which affects heart rate. And forskohlii has a stimulating effect on the pancreas, making it useful for some forms of diabetes, which can affect heart health.
_Since blood clots can lead to heart attacks, it is often recommended that an aspirin be taken daily to thin the blood if a person is prone to heart disease, and is not already on blood thinners, such as coumadin. Herbs that thin the blood include white willow, ginger, vanilla, ginkgo biloba, dong quai, lomatium, sweet clover, and red clover. The herb dan shen (salvia root) is used in Chinese medicine to actually dissolve blood clots.
_Elevated blood sugar can increase the risk of heart disease due to insulin increases and elevation of triglycerides, therefore it is important to maintain proper blood sugar levels. Increasing chromium, and vanadium (vanadyl sulfate) intake are the easiest ways to maintain proper sugar levels. I recommend 200mcg of chromium polynicotinate (not picolinate) 3 times a day with meals. Polynicotinate is a niacin bound chromium, so it also helps maintain proper cholesterol levels. It is also 300 times stronger than chromium picolinate. Vanadyl sulfate functions like a natural insulin taking sugar out of the blood stream. Insulin is dependant on insulin receptors to carry sugar out of the blood. Though nearly all diabetics are type 2 diabetics, who produce plenty, and often too much insulin because their insulin receptors are either closed or missing so the available insulin cannot remove the sugar from the blood. Since vanadyl sulfate is not dependant on these insulin receptors, it can still remove sugar from the blood of type 2 diabetics. Vanadyl sulfate also has the ability to open closed insulin receptors as it carries the sugar out of the blood. The recommended dose of vanadyl sulfate is 50mg 3 times daily with meals.
_Cholesterol levels do not indicate the risk of heart disease. A person can have low cholesterol and still develop heart disease, where a person with high cholesterol may have no plaque build up. As mentioned before the plaque starts from trauma to the artery, not from high levels of cholesterol in the blood. So even if a person has high cholesterol, if there is no trauma to the arterial lining plaque will not form on the artery. Even so, it is still a good idea to keep your cholesterol levels to a reasonable level since we cannot determine if we have arterial damage or not. My favorite method of reducing cholesterol is with digestive bitters and lecithin granules, as explained earlier. Digestive bitters are bitter tasting herbs that cleanse the liver and stimulate the secretion of digestive secretions. Bitters are put on the tongue and swallowed. When swallowed they stimulate the bitter receptors on the back of the tongue. This in turn stimulates a nerve, called the vagus nerve, which in turn stimulates flushing of the liver allowing the liver to work more efficiently. This is important because the liver not only produces cholesterol, for hormone and vitamin synthesis, but it also is responsible for breaking down excess cholesterol in the blood. This is one of the reasons I am so against pharmaceutical statin drugs, used to lower cholesterol. These drugs are well known for causing liver damage, which when damaged will raise cholesterol levels excessively high. Red yeast rice is a good alternative to statin drugs, to lower cholesterol.
_Soluble fibers also lower cholesterol. These are found in fruits, especially apples, and vegetables. Oatmeal, rice bran, and guar gum are also sources for soluble fibers.
_Elevated homocysteine levels are believed to play a role in heart disease, though it is not clear how it contributes to heart disease. Homocysteine can be reduced though with SAMe or trimethylglycine (TMG). Personally I prefer TMG, which is a stronger methyl donor than SAMe, and TMG is considerably less expensive.
__HEEL PAIN
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1708704#i_--Out of nowhere I started to experience pain in the center of my right heel. It hurts if I put any pressure on it. I've discovered it could be a bone spur and/or Plantar Fasciitis.
_Plantar fasciitis can lead to bone spurs, but from what you have said so far I would lean towards plantar fasciitis. I recommend some rest, make sure your arches are supported, use orthotics if necessary, vitamin C and silica sources to strengthen the fascia, gelatin is also good and licorice root and yucca root for the inflammation. These can also help if there is a spur.
_--I recall having a sore heel in the past that just went away. This seems to be sticking around so I'm wondering if you have any remedies that could help? BTW, I was using my rebounder daily. I think that may have something to do with it.
_It could have. You could have pulled on the connective tissue too much causing the irritation and inflammation.
-
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1473170#i_Since it is more in the heel and you do have flat feet I would say more likely to be a bone spur rather than gout or peripheral neuropathy.
_Bone is a piezoelectric material. Therefore when it is exposed to stresses the bone will generate electrical currents that electrodeposit the minerals in to the collagen matrix of the bone. When one are is constantly stressed the bone growth is stimulated at that point. So how does this apply? When your foot arch goes flat it pulls the plantar fascia tight. Since this is connected to the back of the heel this causes a tugging on the back of the heel when you walk. As it tugs the piezoelectric effects starts to produce excess bone at that connection point. This is the spur. And this spur can cause a lot of pain when you walk.
_I don't know much about the master cleanse, but from what I recall it uses cayenne pepper. Cayenne is a pain reliever due to both its stimulation of substance P, and because it is nature's highest level of natural aspirin. So I think the cayenne has more to do with it than the lemons.
_I doubt if colon problems are contributing. Were you more active when in Mexico, maybe walking a lot more down there?
_Caffeine can definitely lead to increased inflammation.
_My recommendations to try are to get orthotics for the arch support, and use the silica and vitamin C to strengthen the plantar fascia and to reduce inflammation. If it is a spur, and you take the pressure off the bone the body will eventually reabsorb the minerals from the spur.
__HEMOPHILIA, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
_Strengthening the blood vessels for the sole purpose of reducing the risk of bleeding in the first place would not be a bad idea.
_Herbs high in silica and vitamin C would be the most effective.
_For silica I recommend diatomaceous earth, bamboo stalk, oatstraw, couch grass, nettle leaf or seaweeds.
_For vitamin C rosehips, acerola cherry, amla or foods such as peppers, kiwis, papaya or berries.
_Something that they can try that may or may not help is to focus on strengthening the hypothalamus and pituitary. The reasoning is that the drug Desmopressin is used to help treat hemophilia by stimulating the release of factor VIII. Desmopressin is a synthetic version of arginine vasopressin (AV) produced by the hypothalamus and stored and released by the pituitary.
_Maybe supporting the hypothalamus and pituitary will help him increase his own AV.
_Herbs that will support these glands include alfalfa and parsley leaf. Periwinkle (Vinca minor) also helps increase function of parts of the brain by increasing ATP. Periwinkle is normally hemostatic as well, but I don't know if this effect will still occur in the absence of clotting factors, but it needs to be combined with moisture retentive herbs to prevent intestinal drying.
_The best way to lower blood pressure will depend on the cause. For example high serum calcium can raise blood pressure due to the muscles contracting nature of calcium. Blood vessels are also muscles. The reason calcium channel blockers are frequently used to lower blood pressure is that they block calcium from contracting the blood vessels. Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker.
_Diabetes is another common cause of high blood pressure as elevated insulin has a strong blood vessel contracting effect.
_Angiotensin can contract blood vessels causing high blood pressure.
_Sodium retention can cause high blood pressure due to water retention. This is common with the use of steroids like Prednisone, but only affects about 10% of the population otherwise.
_Potassium deficiencies can lead to high blood pressure due to sodium retention. Again steroids can cause this effect. So can berberine herbs like goldenseal, barberry, Oregon grape root and coptis, also known as goldthread. Licorice root can also cause it when used in very high doses for many months.
_The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) can cause blood vessels to constrict due to prostaglandin inhibition.
_Stress, including pain, can cause elevated levels of epinephrine, which constricts blood vessels while speeding up the heart rate. This is temporary though unless there is a rare adrenal tumor, which will cause very high blood pressure and pulse.
_Arteriosclerosis can lead to high blood pressure due to narrowing of the arteries.
_Smoking can raise blood pressure due to the blood vessel constricting effect of nicotine. Horsetail grass (shavegrass) also contains nicotine and constricts blood vessels.
_Some people get a rise in blood pressure when they visit the doctor. This is known as white coat syndrome. This is why it is so important to get multiple readings, especially at home, to get a better average and to make sure that chronic high blood pressure really exists.
_Here are a few options:
_Magnesium malate or citrate are natural calcium channel blockers and therefore relax blood vessels lowering blood pressure.
_Sterols relax blood vessels. Yucca root is a great sterol source. Jiaogulan is also sterol rich and also helps to act as a beta blocker.
_Ashwagandha acts as a natural ACE inhibitor and beta blocker.
_Coleus forskohlii has the same effects as cardiac glycosides (lowers blood pressure, and slows and strengthens heart contractions).
_Kudzu and bamboo stalk both relax blood vessels.
_Potassium is a natural diuretic and lowers blood pressure by displacing sodium and eliminating excess water.
__HEMORRHOIDS
_Varicose veins have several causes. Heavy, consistent exercise can cause enlargement of veins as part of the increased blood flow to the muscles and other tissues. Damage to the valves in the veins, such as from being on your feet all the time, can cause blood to back flow, which in turn leads to stretching of the veins. A loss of the structural proteins collagen and elastin can lead to a loss of strength in the vein walls, which can cause them to lose elasticity and stretch out like old elastic bands on underwear.
_The natural vitamin C sources, which also contain beneficial bioflavonoids, and silica sources are excellent for helping to strengthen the veins. The bioflavonoid rutin is especially helpful for strengthening the veins. It is often found in foods rich in quercetin since rutin can be a breakdown product of quercetin.
_Stay away from things that reduce vitamin C levels such as caffeine, nicotine, steroidal medications, aspirin, etc. Stress also reduces vitamin C so keep your stress to a minimum.
_Butcher's broom in particular is excellent for varicose veins as it not only strengthens the veins, but it also increases deeper circulation while constricting surface veins.
_Vitamin K can also help. The best sources are dark green leafy vegetables.
_Hemorrhoids are actually varicose veins. They can occur from straining during bowel movements or heavy lifting and are common during pregnancy. They can also occur from blockage of the portal vein of the liver leading to back up pressure in the pelvic region.
_First thing I recommend is to make sure you are staying hydrated. People too often do not drink enough water, or falsely think that drinks like soda or coffee constitute water. These are not water, and they contribute to dehydration. So make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Also make sure that you are getting plenty of fiber in your diet. Fruits and vegetables are the best choice, and flax seed, rice bran and oat bran are good. I don't like psyllium. It causes bloating in a lot of people and there is concern that it can be very sharp in the intestines causing cuts in the wall. If the stool is hard causing straining during bowel movements then seaweeds, flax seed, slippery elm, or marshmallow root can be used to hold moisture in the intestines to soften the stool. Flax, slippery elm and marshmallow root also form a slick mucilage again making bowel movements easier.
_Silica and vitamin C help to strengthen vein walls and improve elasticity to help prevent varicosing. Again fibers provide silica. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamin C.
_Maintain your flora with probiotics, like kefir, and prebiotics, such as fibers. A lack of flora contributes to constipation.
_Since low thyroid also contributes to constipation it is a good idea to do your basal body temperature to make sure this is not a contributing problem.
_And bitters will cleanse the liver taking pressure off the portal vein. Again remember to drink a lot of water throughout the day when using bitters.
_As for diet, it should be mainly vegetables, and some fruit. Meats are OK in moderation. Dairy is best avoided. And don't forget water.
_If you are taking iron supplements these can also cause constipation, which increases straining during bowel movements. So if you need iron look for plant sources such as nettle leaf or yellow dock, which don't cause the constipation.
_Opiate pain killers are also notorious for causing constipattion leading to hemorrhoids. DL-phenylalanine can be used to raise dopamine, which is the bodies natural pain killer. It takes a couple of weeks to kick in, but it has long lasting pain relieving effects. It can also be used to help get people off of opiate pain killers.

_Hemorrhoids are actually varicose veins. They can occur from straining during bowel movements or heavy lifting and are common during pregnancy. They can also occur from blockage of the portal vein of the liver leading to back up pressure in the pelvic region. Varicose veins are not caused by relaxation of the veins but rather a loss of elasticity. The veins lose their elasticity and the veins stretch out and stay stretched out, called varicosing. Normal, healthy veins will relax and contract as needed controlling blood flow.
_Loss of elasticity in the vein walls can be from damage by pressure or lack of certain nutrients, especially silica, vitamin C and bioflavonoids. If the hemorrhoids are bleeding, acidity may cause some temporary burning, but again it will not make the hemorrhoids worse.
_First thing I recommend is to make sure you are staying hydrated. People too often do not drink enough water, or falsely think that drinks like soda or coffee constitute water.

Chili peppers are great sources of vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which help promote collagen and elastin formation. Collagen strengthens the blood vessels while elastin gives them elasticity. Sufficient levels of both in the veins help prevent the veins from varicosing.
_Most of cayenne's blood pressure regulating effects actually stem from the support of the adrenals by cayenne. The adrenal glands regulate blood pressure by the excretion or blockage of epinephrine release and by regulation of water balance in the body.
_Maintain your flora with probiotics, like kefir, and prebiotics, such as fibers. A lack of flora contributes to constipation.
_Since low thyroid also contributes to constipation it is a good idea to do your basal body temperature to make sure this is not a contributing problem.
_And bitters will cleanse the liver taking pressure off the portal vein. Again remember to drink a lot of water throughout the day when using bitters.

_Opiate pain killers are also notorious for causing constipattion leading to hemorrhoids. DL-phenylalanine can be used to raise dopamine, which is the bodies natural pain killer. It takes a couple of weeks to kick in, but it has long lasting pain relieving effects. It can also be used to help get people off of opiate pain killers. The reason the opiates get addictive is because they shut down the body's own production of pain killers, in particular dopamine. Therefore, the phenylalanine can help people wean off of narcotic pain killers by helping with the body's own production of dopamine. It is best to allow it to build up before trying to wean off of pain killers.
_Studies have not shown the same pain relieving effects from tyrosine as DLPA has shown. It could have something to do with the combination of both right handed and left handed molecules. Yes, blood pressure rises are a concern, which is why I try to go with tyrosine whenever possible, such as for vision or thyroid function. Although phenylalanine can raise blood pressure this is VERY rare in individuals. In someone with very high blood pressure though it would be best avoided until the blood pressure is under control. There are all sorts of ways to drop blood pressure. The best choice though will depend on the cause
_If the portal vein gets congested then fluids can accumulate in the pelvic region. This in turn puts a lot more pressure on the veins in the pelvic region causing them to stretch and balloon out. Bitters will help keep the liver cleansed so it and the portal vein do not become congested. Liver disorders do not completely block the metabolism of phenylalanine. It only suppresses it somewhat. Cirrhosis having the most suppressive action. Since tyrosine is not as effective as DLPA for pain I would still use the DLPA as my primary pain killer. You could take tyrosine along with it for a little extra pain relief to compensate for any phenylalanine not metabolized.
_Generally peanuts are suppose to help with hemorrhoids due to their fat and fiber content, but you are not alone by having flareups with peanut consumption. Maybe the high arginine content of the peanuts are increasing arterial blood flow, which means more blood being returned in the veins. The excess blood in the veins can be increasing pressure in them flaring the hemorrhoids.
_Probiotics can actually help prevent hemorrhoids by regulating peristalsis, which in turn helps prevent constipation that leads to straining and thus hemorrhoid formation. On the other hand many probiotic sources are dairy based meaning more calcium. Excess calcium causes constipation since calcium is a muscle contractor. Thus too much calcium can contribute to hemorrhoid formation.
_There is a greater risk with live cultures due to the higher acid levels. Just like you can consume too much alkaline substances leading to alkalosis, you can also consume too much acidic substances leading to acidosis, if you exceed the body's buffering capabilities. But these beneficial acids do not lead to or contribute to hemorrhoids.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1803189#i_acidity does not cause this or aggravate the condition. Hemorrhoids are a result of loss of elasticity in the vein walls, which can be from damage by pressure or lack of certain nutrients, especially silica, vitamin C and bioflavonoids. If the hemorrhoids are bleeding acidity may cause some temporary burning, but again it will not make the hemorrhoids worse.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1795042#i_Chili peppers are great sources of vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which help promote collagen and elastin formation. Collagen strengthens the blood vessels while elastin gives them elasticity. Sufficient levels of both in the veins help prevent the veins from varicosing.
__HEPATITIS
_A common misconception about hepatitis is that it is a viral condition. This is true in some cases of hepatitis, though not all. Hepatitis, which literally means inflammation of the liver, may occur from viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, chemical damage, or from autoimmunity.
_Symptoms of hepatitis generally appear from several weeks to a month and a half after exposure to the microbes that may cause hepatitis. Chemical induced hepatitis is more sudden in its onset of symptoms. An example of chemical induced hepatitis is ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, etc.), which caused two-dozen deaths from ibuprofen induced liver failure during clinical trials of the drug. Symptoms of hepatitis may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, light colored and loose stools, very dark urine, fatigue, loss of appetite, jaundice, abdominal pain, joint pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
_Diagnosis of hepatitis is made based on several criteria, including the presence of symptoms of hepatitis, elevation of certain liver enzymes (ALT and AST), presence of hepatitis virus RNA, reactive antibodies to hepatitis antibody tests, and liver biopsies. The antibody tests are supposed to determine the presence of specific virus antibodies, which are designated as hepatitis A, B, C, D, or E. Though these antibody tests do not prove the presence of the virus, or even previous exposure. We are taught that antibodies are specific to their intended targets, though this is not always true. The body normally produces high affinity antibodies as its primary antibody, with a smaller number of low affinity antibodies, which are less specific to antigens. In some cases, such as autoimmune conditions, the ratio of high affinity to low affinity antibodies is reversed. Since the low affinity antibodies cannot tell the difference between healthy tissues and antigens, such as microbes, these less specific antibodies tag healthy tissues for destruction by the body's immune system.
_Another way to look at this is with the production of monoclonal antibodies for disease research. In this process a sample of blood serum is reacted with an antigen test target. After the antibodies have attached themselves to the target the target is immersed in a weak solution of sodium sulfate, which remove many of the weaker low affinity antibodies. The target is then immersed in a slightly stronger solution to remove the slightly more specific antibodies. This process is repeated until only the very specific high affinity antibodies are remaining. These are then used to produce the monoclonal antibodies.
_All of this information is important because this is the same reason that antibody tests often yield false positive tests. When antibody tests are used to make a diagnosis, such as with HIV or hepatitis, we assume that the antibodies were produced in response to the particular virus that the test is trying to detect. This would work if antibodies were target specific, but as we have seen they are not. For instance HIV antibody tests have 65 known causes of false positives with these tests, primarily due to a process known as serological cross- reactivity. Basically this means that antibodies of like structure can cross react on antibody tests. For example antibodies produced from vaccinations for polio, typhoid, malaria, and influenza (flu) have all been shown to react false positive on HIV tests. Other antibodies that have been shown to cross react on HIV antibody tests include maternal antibodies from pregnancy or multiple pregnancies, BLV antibodies from beef or cow's milk, autoimmune conditions; especially lupus, and even hepatitis. Gamma globulin shots have also found to yield false positives on HIV test targets due to the high concentration of pooled antibodies present, some of which could be cross reacting or are specific to the virus being tested for. Furthermore, a true positive antibody test does not mean that the person is currently infected with that virus. If a person becomes infected with the influenza virus they develop antibodies to that virus. After a short period of time their body will fight off the virus successfully, though the antibodies remain. Therefore if they went and had an ELISA or Western blot antibody test a few weeks later to detect the presence of influenza virus antibodies, they would test positive even though they were no longer infected with the virus itself. The same principle applies to HIV and hepatitis antibody tests. If the body successfully defends itself from the virus antibodies to the virus will be present even though the virus itself is no longer present.
_The point of all this is that since the cause of the disease cannot always be positively identified, hepatitis should be treated with broad range antimicrobials, that kills viruses, bacteria, and fungi, as well as anti-inflammatory and liver support herbs. A sample of herbs that address these factors include:
_People with hepatitis from any cause should avoid alcohol consumption. I also recommend that they avoid over the counter minoxidil (Rogaine), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen (Tylenol), since these drugs can damage the liver. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with hepatitis since many prescription pharmaceutical drugs, such as statin drugs used to lower cholesterol, may cause severe damage to the liver.
_Diet is another important consideration. I recommend that anyone with liver problems avoid high protein consumption since such diets can strain the liver. Protein sources, such as meats and dairy, often contain hormones and antibiotics as well that the liver must deal with. Sugars, including honey should also be limited since sugar suppresses immune function. This occurs because both sugar and vitamin C require insulin for transport. When sugar is consumed insulin is tied up making it unavailable for vitamin C transport. When vitamin C cannot reach the white blood cells, white blood cell activity is lowered decreasing immunity. If a sweetener is desired then I recommend the herb stevia, or stevia extract. The sugar molecules in stevia are too large to be absorbed and therefore they do not affect blood sugar or immunity. You only need a small amount of stevia due to the intense sweetness of the herb. The diet should consist primarily of vegetables. Carrots are especially good for the liver.
_Water is very important since water is needed to flush toxins out from the body. Drinks containing caffeine should be avoided since caffeine is a diuretic, which stimulates the excretion of water from the body. Fruit juices should be limited because of their high sugar content. If you juice your own vegetables I recommend also juicing raw red potatoes and green tomatoes with the other vegetables. Raw red potatoes and green tomatoes are high in protease inhibitors, which inactivate viruses. Seeds, including nuts, are also good sources of protease inhibitors. Green tea is antiviral due to its high polyphenol content, though it should not be taken with other herbs. Polyphenols (tannins), also found in coffee, bind to alkaloids and other beneficial compounds found in herbs rendering them useless to the body. Rooibos tea is relatively unknown, though I highly recommend it. Rooibos has no caffeine, and is very low in tannins. Though it is rich in the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is anti-inflammatory, immune stimulatory, and antioxidant. The tea has a pleasant flavor.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1616417#i_Hernias are basically a protrusion through a tear in the tissues retaining the organ, muscle or other tissue. So they are different types of hernias such as an umbilical hernia, inguinal hernia, etc. From what you are describing it sounds more like some type of abdominal hernia as opposed to a hiatal hernia.
_The risk of hernias is increased by a decrease in the strength of the tissues. A deficiency in __silica and/or __vitamin C is the primary cause for the loss of strength. Once a hernia forms what can be done will depend a lot on where it is located and especially how large the tear is. Some minor hernias can be manually pushed back in if you are really careful and the area supported artificially as the tissues are given time to heal. Larger hernias will require surgery to repair them. Either way it is essential to strengthen the tissues to prevent the hernias from reoccurring.
__DISTENSION
_He's looking rather 'belly-ish' to me too this last while, and it's odd--since we eat one meal a day, (and no, he doesn't eat out), and otherwise drink tea or water...(sometimes nettles).
_The distension can be a couple of things. It could be bloating, fat accumulation or liver issues that are leading to ascites.
__HIATAL HERNIA
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1486694#i_Hiatal hernias actually results from the stomach pushing up through the diaphragm. There are several ways to deal with this. Some chiropractors can push the stomach back through. Not all chiropractors know how to do this so you may have to call around to find one that knows how to do this.
_Another way to do this at home that I have heard of numerous times and makes a lot of sense is to drink enough water to fill the stomach. Then step up on a strong box or something else that sits about a foot or two off the ground then hop off. The principle is that the weight of the water will pull the stomach downward when you hit the ground pulling the protruding part of the stomach back through the diaphragm.

_Aloe can soothe the tissues

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1517183#i_The trick is to make sure it stays in while the tear heals. Wrapping the area can help, and vitamin C, silica and herbs like comfrey root, plantain leaf, boneset, or gotu kola can help to speed up the healing process.
__
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1907474#i_For the hiatal hernia, losing weight can sometimes help with hiatal hernias. If it is large enough though then surgery may be your only option.
__INGUINAL HERNIA
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1617951#i[near groin]
Yes, silica and vitamin C to strengthen the tissues. If it is not too large of a tear it may go back in on its own or can be pushed back in. If it can heal over before popping out again the silica and vitamin C will help reduce the risk of recurrence of the problem and in the meantime will reduce the risk of it enlarging.
__HERPES
Your description does sound like shingles. In general the virus is tough to get rid of since the virus hides in the nerves where many substances cannot reach. Ozone can cross in to the nerves to get viruses, so this is one way to eliminate herpes viruses. I have heard chaparral is also supposed to be very effective in eliminating herpes viruses. And the Rife units should theoretically work as the electrical energy travels along the nervous system and viruses are highly sensitive to electrical energy.
- The amino acid lysine is great for suppressing herpes viruses. It does this by antagonizing the amino acid arginine, which activates herpes viruses. So avoiding arginine and arginine rich foods like chocolate would be a good idea when you have an outbreak or easily get them. If you use lysine to suppress the virus the lysine should be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals.
- Maintaining the immune system and keeping stress to a minimum will also go a long way to helping. Vitamin C, pantothenic acid and adaptogenic herbs such as jiaogulan REM: and schisandra will help with both the immune system and stress.
__HIP JOINT ISSUES
She has apparently "no catilage" left in her hip sockets & is to get hip replacement soon.
_It is rare that there would be no cartilage left. Usually what happens is the prominent points wear away the cartilage between them, but cartilage still remains around the edges where it is not being ground away. I would really try to rebuild the cartilage before going in for a hip replacement. Hip replacements are temporary and usually fail around 10 years down the line, although I have heard of a lot of failures around 5 years afterward.
_At least get her on gelatin, silica and vitamin C.
_The deterioration of the hip joint indicates that the tissues are weakening. Silica deficiencies are the main culprit here. Because the tissues are weakening she will see continued problems with the various joints as she is already with the knees. So she either has to address the deterioration or keep replacing the joints one by one with artificial joints.
_They likely had her on steroids, which are well known for causing bone deterioration. These also suppress the immune system and atrophy the adrenals leading to the eczema, bronchitis, etc.
_Another big mistake people make is using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for the joint pain. For example ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, etc.), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib (Celebrex), aspirin, etc. The problem is that the NSAIDs lead to further deterioration of the joints and inhibit healing.

_(Some sites say eat white kidney beans, maybe from Vitacost.)
_Never full after eating. I would suspect either a problem with the hypothalamus or a problem with not producing serotonin properly. There is a genetic disorder called Willi-Prader syndrome where the person never feels full. This results from a defect of the hypothalamus. Researching this will give you a better idea of the role of the hypothalamus.
_As for the serotonin link, serotonin suppresses the appetite. One of the reasons people tend to overeat is that they consume proteins with their carbohydrates. Carbohydrates by themselves will stimulate a release of brain tryptophan, which then converts in to serotonin suppressing the appetite. So your mom was right about eating that candy before dinner will spoil your appetite. But taking protein with the carbohydrates blocks the release of tryptophan and thus prevents proper serotonin production. So people eat more when consuming high protein with carbohydrates since they cannot get their serotonin "fix".
_What herbs work to curb the appetite, give more energy and focus to get things done? Curbing the appetite: An apple, spirulina or 5-HTP. Energy: Carnitine, pollen and other B vitamin sources build up the adrenals and thyroid, if needed. Also make sure the lack of energy is not from other reasons such as anemia or medications. Focus: Periwinkle, gotu kola, EFAs, protein sources, choline, TMG. ... As for the long life span thing we must keep in mind the majority of people with very long life spans do not get there from diet, but rather lack of stress.
_When we eat slowly by chewing thoroughly the stomach fills up slower and the stomach tells the brain that it full before we overeat. This can also help to control blood sugar for the same reason. Studies have shown that overeating can lower life expectancy due to elevated blood sugar. Slower eating also helps us to not overeat as it gives the brain more time to convert tryptophan, released from the ingestion of carbohydrates, in to serotonin, which kills the appetite. And of course it allows us to enjoy our food more if the food tastes good.
_ I am a firm believer of water with meals. First of all is it allows the food to mix better with the acids and enzymes. Water is also essential for the extraction process. Remember from chemistry that water is the universal solvent. It helps to extract the vitamins, minerals, alkaloids, etc. from our foods. And the water helps to expand the food we ingest, which again helps to prevent us form overeating.
_As for the claim it dilutes stomach acid, this is kind of misleading. If you give the body what it needs to produce its stomach acid properly then the stomach will just increase its output of stomach acid if diluted to restore the proper pH. If age, or some other issue, is reducing the stomach's ability to generate enough stomach acid then bitters can be used to stimulate the secretion.
__HYPOTHYROIDISM
_[Check] basal body temperature for a week to make sure [of] not [being] severely hypothyroid. Severe hypothyroidism can lead to the weight gain and an abnormally slow heartbeat. The weight gain can also increase levels of estrogen, which in turn can further suppress the thyroid. ... Lab tests frequently miss hypothyroidism. ...
_To increase oxygen levels in the blood I recommend suma. Suma is the highest source of organic germanium, which helps the cells to utilize oxygen more efficiently.
_And don't forget exercise for the weight loss and to help work the lungs.
__IMMUNE SUPPRESSANTS
The magnesium salicylate was a really bad idea for a couple of reasons. One is that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) deteriorate bones. Secondly they can cause internal bleeding that can be deadly. In fact it is estimated that NSAIDs kill over 16,000 people a year mainly due to internal bleeding.
- This is another really bad idea. Methotrexate is a chemo drug used to suppress the immune system. Prednisone is sometimes used for the same purpose. This is because many doctors are under the false assumption that autoimmune conditions result from an overactive immune system. They are not.
- Balsalazide Disodium is another aspirin-type compound and can have the same side effects such as internal bleeding. in fact worsening of UC symptoms and bloody diarrhea are known side effects.
- on dealing with autoimmune conditions I recommend ___silica, and ___gelatin in particular to help with rebuilding the bone tissue that has been destroyed by the medicaitons. Since there is rectal bleeding I recommend ___licorice root only right now for the inflammation and when the bleeding stops ___yucca root can be included.
__INCONTINENCE
_Mullein root is very effective, but it is not commercially available. If you live in the mountains and are not buried under snow then you can harvest some if it grows in your area. Otherwise I recommend marshmallow root, which also helps to tone the bladder muscles. You can either use the tea, powder or capsules. Dosage will depend on the form you are using.
__INFECTION
Antibodies to a pathogen still remain for quite a while after an infection is completely gone, and they gradually decline over time. Subsequent exposure to the same or similar pathogen can also stimulate antibody responses even without infection. Some antibody levels can remain elevated throughout life despite successful treatment of some infections, such as IgG antibodies in Lyme's disease.
_Stop pau d' arco when it is likely the infection is gone, as you do not want other pathogens building up a tolerance to the pau d' arco to where it will not be effective when you need it again.
_It is not acids causing infection. It is microbes, most of which are killed by acidity.
_How white blood cells kill pathogens and cancer cells is very well known. One of the things that allow them to kill pathogens is the acid ascorbic acid.
_Many of our immune cells use peroxide to kill pathogens and cancer cells.
_Antiseptic herbs such as pau d' arco can help with both infection and inflammation. High doses are recommended throughout the day either as a boiled tea or powder. Chaparral powder is another great choice if you do not have pau d' arco. You can also take magnesium malate or citrate to relax the muscles. Even the contraction of muscles by tetanus is from calcium, which is antagonized by magnesium.
_Puncture wound on thumb: pain into hand and arm; nothing visible under the skin; feels like a needle; rest of fingers are sore too; there isn't any swelling or redness but the hand feels hot; worried, dizzy spells, body and muscles are tense, stomach a bit upset, getting a fever. Blood pressure and temperature are normal.
_Open the wound and put raw potato (maybe grated & wrapped) on it to draw any foreign objects out. Leave it on for a few hours then remove and discard. You can repeat this as needed.
_To clear up lung infections mix equal parts of chaparral, thyme, and horseradish powders. Blend them well then fill some capsules. Recommend 2 capsules 3 times daily. The capsule size does not matter since a little extra will not hurt you. So you can use either O or OO capsules. In one of the empty capsules add 8 drops of pure eucalyptus essential oil. Recommend 1 capsule with the 8 drops of oil 3 times daily with the herb capsules. You will exhale the oils killing any fungus, bacteria, or virus in the lungs. The longest I have ever seen this take for pneumonia or bronchitis is 3 days. Remember to stay hydrated to keep the mucous in the lungs fluid so it can be expelled with the pathogens.
_Pau d' arco works against bacteria and other pathogens. It also has more than one antiseptic compound. Pau d' arco contains 18 antiseptic anthraquinones and napthaquinones. It also contains 5 anti-inflammatories.
_Ozone is not only highly antiseptic it also speeds the healing of burns significantly.
_For burns, tea made from boiling pau d' arco (for 20 minutes) then adding a little clove will prevent infection. The clove is also a powerful antiseptic and will help reduce the pain. If you need to speed the healing, add a little comfrey root when boiling the pau d' arco. As the tea cools it will gel up some but this gel is soothing and promotes healing due to the allantoin content. Do not use honey, because it contains bacteria.
_Re sinus infection, if snot comes out thick and yellow throughout the day then this indicate a sinus infection. if it is clear and runny throughout the day, it's more like an allergy related response. The runny nose with spicy foods is common and is known as gustatorhinitis. This is a good thing as it helps to flush pathogens from the sinuses. Sinus drainage is a common cause of throat infections as the microbes in the drainage coat the throat as the drainage runs down. I recommend focusing on adrenals to treat any allergies, and drinking a tea of pau d' arco with a little licorice root to treat any infections in the throat. Make the tea by boiling the herbs covered for 20 minutes then turn the heat off and allow it to cool. Gargling the tea a little before swallowing will help even more.
_Re EBV etc, one thing I need to emphasize is that antibodies to EBV really mean nothing since antibody tests are notoriously inaccurate and CANNOT show the presence of any particular virus. Because doctors rely so heavily on antibody tests though, this routinely leads to misdiagnoses. This includes misdiagnoses of EBV induced diseases, which present the same symptoms as various other disorders. For example, how many people think they have EBV because they suffer from chronic fatigue, which can also be from hypothyroidism, nutritional deficiencies, liver disorders, hypoadrenalism, etc.? It really requires more to determine actual EBV infection and symptoms from it etc.
__INFLAMMATION
__See also PAIN, INFLAMMAION
_Chamomile has been shown to help with lowering blood sugar levels in diabetics. But this is probably due to the anti-inflammatory effects of the chamomile increasing insulin sensitivity, and not due to its effects on serotonin levels.
_nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) generally inhibit prostaglandins without specification. So they inhibit the good prostaglandins as well as bad prostaglandins leading to problems such as heart attack, stroke, kidney and liver failure, tinnitus, peptic ulcers, etc.
_Licorice kills viruses and bacteria, raises interferon, is a steroidal anti-inflammatory, helps other herbs to absorb and function better, etc.
_Sage can also be used as a mouth rinse to treat inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose and throat.
_Yucca root is high in fiber and is a steroidal anti-inflammatory.
_NSAIDs lead to further deterioration of the joints and inhibit healing.
__INFLAMMATORY BOWEL, IBD
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1468848#i_Stick primarily with yucca root and licorice root as they are both steroidal anti-inflammatories and both help build up the flora.
_One thing you should definitely avoid though is magnesium oxide/hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia), calcium oxide/hydroxide, and alkaline waters. These hydroxide sources are irritating to the mucous membranes as hyroxides are caustic. For example, Milk of Magnesia is used as a laxative because it chemically burns the intestinal wall leading to a release of fluid in to the intestines and increased peristalsis.
_The vagus nerve affects the heart and the digestive system. When having a bowel movement people often strain, which stimulates the vagus nerve. In the case of straining it can overstimulate the vagus nerve leading to the acid reflux. By the way straining during bowel movements is also the reason that so many die from heat attacks while on the toilet. Again overstimulation of the vagus nerve. So make sure to get plenty of fiber and water each day. And if the stools are still hard then people can add some slippery elm or marshmallow root to their herbal regime as a stool softener.

___Nettle pwd
_I also like the herb nettle leaf, which reduces acids in the blood. Nettle leaf also reduces histamine due to its content of quercetin and its support of the adrenal glands that produce the body's epinephrine. Nettle leaf is also very supporting to the kidneys.

__LECTIN ISSUES
- Are lectin blocker supplements a vaid concept?- In my opinion the concept is sales hype. First of all there are different lectins that would require different blockers. And if somehow they were able to block all lectins then this would also block the beneficial lectins. Lectins do have beneficial properties as well including preventing overgrowth of pathogenic bowel bacteria and inhibition of viruses. For example, a lectin in bananas has been found to bind and inactivate HIV.
- Research is being done to see if selective lectin inhibitors can be used to treat some diseases. But blocking all lectins, good and bad, will simply lead to other problems. Just like how we have good and bad prostaglandins. Yet nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) generally inhibit prostaglandins without specification. So they inhibit the good prostaglandins as well as bad prostaglandins leading to problems such as heart attack, stroke, kidney and liver failure, tinnitus, peptic ulcers, etc.

http://l00k.createaforum.com/h/health-2-truth-in-medicine/__MIGRAINE
Migraines start when the blood vessels around the brain constrict tightly, then rebound vasodilate, leading to inflammation.
- There can be multiple triggers including dietary amines [protein], allergies, hormones, bright lights, etc. So anyone suffering from migraines should keep a migraine log to look for the [cause]. Anytime a migraine occurs list whatever was eaten, or drunk, what you were exposed to (fumes, pollen, etc.), ... bright lights, etc.
- The best supplements for migraines are ___magnesium, ___kudzu, and ___coleus forskohlii. Magnesium deficiencies are common and can lead to a host of problems, including frequent migraines. Calcium causes blood vessels to contract, leading to the initial constriction. Magnesium is a calcium antagonist, and relaxes blood vessels to help prevent the initial vasoconstriction. For this reason the magnesium should be taken by itself, not with any calcium. This includes with foods that may contain calcium. Recommended dose is ___300mg of magnesium malate twice daily, morning and afternoon, at least 30 minutes before ingesting any calcium sources. If you take a calcium/magnesium supplement this is best taken at night before bed. If you cannot find magnesium malate then ___magnesium citrate is my second choice. Avoid magnesium oxide since it is poorly absorbed and it burns the intestinal wall leading to inflammation and diarrhea.
- ___Kudzu and ___coleus forskohlii are both vasodilators to help prevent the initial vasoconstriction. Recommended dose is 2 capsules of either herb 3 times daily before meals, and in addition at the first signs of an impending migraine. Kudzu is preferred if there are hormonal imbalances. Forskohlii though is an excellent anti-inflammatory since it blocks both inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
__MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
_Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune condition leading to demyelination of the nerves. The trigger is viral, but there is also adrenal dysfunction involved leading to an over production of low affinity (nonspecific) antibodies that mistake the myelin for an antigen. The brain is not the only area affected by MS. Lesions also develop on the spinal cord.
__MUSCLE PROBLEMS
>___Magnesium Malate
>>JS: Many of these symptoms can be attributed to a magnesium deficiency and/or elevated calcium. Calcium is a muscle contractor, which includes skeletal muscle and blood vessels. Therefore, elevated calcium can cause muscle cramps/spasms, high blood pressure, tension headaches or migraines, etc. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant, which is why it is used to treat these problems caused by calcium.
- Also keep in mind that calcium and magnesium are antagonistic to each other. I recommend lowering your calcium intake to allow the magnesium to do a better job of relaxing the muscles. Even in healthy individuals it is best to keep calcium and magnesium intake close to a equal ratio. In some cases though, such as when treating high blood pressure or migraines with magnesium the magnesium intake should be at least twice that of calcium in most cases.
__MUSCLE TIC/TWITCH, RESTLESS LEG
_I would go with ashwagandha, which is calming due to its effects on brain's GABA receptors and from its supportive effect on the adrenals, which produce our anti-stress hormones. Recommended dose is 2 standard capsules 3 times daily on an empty stomach.
_Sage leaf and tyrosine are also both effective in controlling muscle tics. These can be used as an alternative to the ashwagandha if it is not effective enough.
_Magnesium malate can be used to relax the muscles to reduce the tics. Recommended dose is 300mg 2 to 3 times daily.
__NECK ACHE
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1619723#i_If the muscles are too contracted on the one side of the neck causing the neck to be pulled out of alignment. If this is the case then the muscle needs to be relaxed on the side the neck is out then the neck put back in to alignment by stretching the neck, not by twisting the neck as chiropractors normally do. That should release a lot of the pressure and most of the pain in a few days. Make sure to do the silica and vitamin C to strengthen the connective tissue to help hold it in place.
__NECK PAIN
_I feel a huge pain in my neck, back of the head, I feel very dizzy, start to have chest pain (especially left side), and left arm pain, but more like a long string to the index, and pang (sorry if the word is not correct) in the forearm. I feel like someone is suddenly sitting on my shoulders too. It's really like I will faint or have an heart attack.
_JS: From the symptoms, a pinched nerve was the first thing that came to mind as well as a pinching of the arteries in the neck. This could be from a slipped disc or possibly a bone spur. If you feel up both sides of the neck at the same time is it even or does there feel like there are any bilges, curves, sharp points or tender spots? Do you get any of these symptoms when you turn your neck suddenly? Or moving it up and down?
_The "central" point of the pain is right under the skull where it is linked to the neck. It spreads all over the skull, back of the head, sides, and front, eyebrows and a pressure sensation behind the eyes. There is also a cervical that hurts just there, near that point, but right side of the neck.
_JS: It sounds like the muscles are too contracted on the one side of the neck causing the neck to be pulled out of alignment. If this is the case then the muscle needs to be relaxed on the side the neck is out then the neck put back in to alignment by stretching the neck, not by twisting the neck as chiropractors normally do. That should release a lot of the pressure and most of the pain in a few days. Make sure to do the silica and vitamin C to strengthen the connective tissue to help hold it is place.

_One of the reasons people tend to overeat is that they consume proteins with their carbohydrates. Carbohydrates by themselves will stimulate a release of brain tryptophan, which then converts in to serotonin suppressing the appetite. But taking protein with the carbohydrates blocks the release of tryptophan and thus prevents proper serotonin production.
-
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1733025#i_For frequent hunger, you did mention you have adrenal dysfunction so chronic hypoglycemia is likely. A few things that can help are of course building up the adrenals. More fiber in your diet will also slow the absorption of glucose, which can help prevent rebound hypoglycemia. More protein in your diet will also slow gastric emptying. Spirulina and chlorella are the highest herbal sources. Nettle leaf also has a fair amount of protein and it also supports the adrenals and thyroid. If you also want to focus on your hypothalamus then I recommend adding alfalfa herb and maybe more seaweeds to your regime. These will also help with your hormones.
__OSTEOARTHRITIS, OSTEOPOROSIS
- Osteoporosis is also a loss of collagen, not a loss of minerals.
- Osteoarthritis is also treated in large part by the restoration of collagen.
- ___Silica is the most important supplement for the restoration of collagen and elastin. The second most important nutrient is ___vitamin C
- It is best to get vitamin C from natural sources though since natural sources are generally stronger and more stable than the commonly sold synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid). An exception is camu camu, which is not very stable.
- Staying away from things that reduce vitamin C will also help. Keep in mind that the adrenals get priority of vitamin C over the entire rest of the body. And in autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis the adrenals are already stressed meaning a larger requirement of vitamin C for the adrenals and less being available for other tissues.
- Steroids, often used for both rheumatoid arthritis and COPD will further deplete the adrenals and vitamin C, which is why steroids lead to bone loss.
- There are also various herbs that will stimulate collagen and elastin formation such as ___gotu kola, ___boneset, ___eupatorium, etc. If you want something already put together I do have the Bone and Joint formula that is primarily designed to increase collagen and elastin. So it can be used for other conditions resulting from a loss of these structural proteins.
- Rheumatoid arthritis is a bacterial induced autoimmune disorder. This condition is treated completely different.
- Here is some information on building up the adrenals, which is essential in autoimmunity:
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1527351#i- ___L-tyrosine, being an amino acid, it is best taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals. Larger amino acids can block the absorption of smaller amino acids sharing the same transport chain. This is why empty stomach is best. And it does take about 2 weeks to build up. Studies with arthritis though have shown that once it kicks in the pain relieving effects can last up to a month.
- ... ___The nettle and ___astragalus will support the adrenals, which also produce the sex hormones.
__OVERWEIGHT, D: FASTING
_For body fat caused by cortisol I recommend adaptogenic herbs, vitamin C and pantothenic acid rich foods to build up the adrenal glands. For herbs I recommend ___schisandra berry, ___ashwagandha, ___amla, and ___nettle leaf. For foods I recommend ___watercress, ___rice bran, and ___nutritional yeast. Several of these herbs also promote the burning of body fat and support the thyroid.
_The hypothalamus gland is the key subconscious part of the brain that registers the leptin signal. When the leptin center in the hypothalamus gland is damaged then obesity results, due to a breakdown in central regulation of metabolism by your nervous system. In this study a drug was used to induce damage to the hypothalamus gland resulting in obesity. Pantethine helped offset the problems that were induced, resulting in lower food intake, less weight gain, better insulin and glucose levels, lower triglycerides, lower cholesterol, and improved activation of lipoprotein lipase in white adipose tissue. Pantethine is a potent nutrient to help maintain healthy fat burning and thus better leptin function.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1853595#i_Do chromium & magnesium really reverse insulin resistance, or just help for folk who have this condition?
_They can work to reverse the insulin resistance. In insulin resistance the insulin receptors are not destroyed, they are just closed. It is magnesium and chromium that help keep them open. Here are some old studies I posted previously:
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1528348#ihttp://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1535880#i_For example if someone was a sugar addict 20 years, could they use chromium and magnesium for a few months and all the damage the sugar abuse caused would be reversed?
_The damage is a different story than the insulin resistance. And taking this further is not always the glucose causing the damage. Most of the serious damage comes from elevated insulin levels. As to what can and cannot be fixed this depends a lot on what was damaged and to what severity.
_Or do they still need to go on a low sugar diet to truly reverse it, i.e. chromium is just a mask while you have IR its not a cure and doesnt help reverse anything, its the diet that reverses the damage.
_Chromium is essential to maintaining insulin receptors, so it is not just masking the problem, it can help to correct it. Although if a person is overweight this can also increase insulin resistance so losing weight can help.
_Also would fasting help with blood sugar probs?
_I would not recommend it for several reasons. One, fasting puts stress on the body. Secondly, fasting can lead to rebound weight gain. And finally, fasting can also mean not getting the nutrients required for helping to maintain insulin sensitivity.

http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1561901- Inflammation is part of the body's trying to heal. Basically what is happening is when we injure ourselves inflammatory hormones called prostaglandins dilate the blood vessels in the area to increase blood flow and thus [drive] oxygen and nutrients to the area to promote healing. When the blood vessels are dilated like this for a while though they become permeable so they leak fluids in to the surrounding tissues. This is the swelling that people experience.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs work by inhibiting these prostaglandins thereby constricting the blood vessels. This prevents the leakage of fluid, but also inhibits the healing process. In addition these drugs are known for causing heart attacks, strokes, chemical induced hepatitis, kidney failure, loss of vision and tinnitus because they can reduce or cut off the blood supply to organs and other tissues. And contrary to popular belief this does not require long term use or excessive doses. There were 2 dozen deaths from Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, etc.) induced hepatitis during clinical trials. And I know 4 people that had their kidneys shut down after taking a single recommended dose of ibuprofen. The people most at risk are those with circulatory disorders such as those with Raynaud's, congestive heart failure, diabetes, etc.
- A couple of options to help with the pain and swelling without inhibiting healing are either using an ___arnica cream topically over the injured area, or internally ___licorice root and ___yucca root are both strong steroidal anti-inflammatories.
- The easiest way to explain this would be to compare it with phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens do not contain actual estrogens. They just have weak estrogenic effects. When talking about anti-inflammatory plants the "steroidal" anti-inflammatories do not contain actual steroids. They contain sterols, which have mild steroidal properties and help support the adrenals that produce the body's steroids. Where they really differ from true steroids though is that like phytoestrogens that regulate estrogens, phytosterols regulate the inflammatory response. Even though they partially inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, which can constrict blood vessels, sterols also dilate blood vessels. This is one of the reasons sterol sources are used to lower blood pressure.

- But a better choice as a general pain killer would be ___magnesium malate for the menstrual cramps and if the headaches are migraines. But it should be taken on a more regular basis, not just when the pain starts. ___Kudzu root is also a very good choice.

https://draxe.com/natural-painkillers/_1. Painfully Spicy Foods
_If you’ve got a taste for hot stuff, you likely know some level of pain is involved. Interestingly, though, hot foods like wasabi and cayenne pepper can actually act as natural painkillers. Cayenne pepper benefits include several types of natural pain relief. The powerful pepper actually helps alleviate post-operative pain, including pain relief after a mastectomy or amputation.
_Cayenne pepper is also a potent candida killer. Scientists found it’s active against 16 different fungal strains, including candida, a common internal infection linked to joint pain, among other candida symptoms. (1) Cayenne also provides external pain relieve. Capsaicin, an important natural painkiller found in cayenne, helps treat muscle soreness, tension and even skin infections. Look for it in natural painkilling creams.
_Wasabi is another spicy food with natural painkilling properties. Scientists are studying the isothiocyanates in wasabi as potential pain relievers. Researcher from University of California San Francisco made a recent discovery suggesting that isothiocyanates could block an inflammation receptor, making it a potentially important natural painkiller. (2)
_2. Powerful Pain-Relieving Oils
_Evening Primrose Oil for Menstrual Pain
_Evening primrose oil is naturally rich in the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid and is becoming more popular around the world as a natural PMS treatment. Many women take it to alleviate common premenstrual symptoms, including pain, thanks to its hormone-balancing effects.
_I recommend a woman takes 1,500 milligrams starting on the first day of her period and continuing until ovulation. If your’e on certain antidepressants, you have a bleeding or a seizure disorder, you’re on phenothiazine drugs for schizophrenia, or you’re being treated for high blood pressure, you should talk to your doctor before starting evening primrose oil.
_Arnica Oil for Bruises & Carpal Tunnel Pain
_Not as popular as many other essential oils, arnica oil belongs in every medicine cabinet. Considered generally safe for topical use, arnica oil used on the skin helps ease inflammatory pain associated with insect bites, bruises and even arthritis flare-ups. (5, 6) To treat bruises, applying arnica oil twice daily (as long as the skin is not broken) helps reduce bruising inflammation even better than low-concentration vitamin K formulations. (3)
_When it comes to carpal tunnel relief, arnica oils is also a smart choice in the natural painkillers department. For some, it helps reduce pain to the point of not needing carpal tunnel surgery. For others, arnica oil is a proven way to help lower inflammation and associated pain in the weeks following carpal tunnel surgery. (4)
_Lavender & Peppermint Oils for Muscle Pain & Headache Relief
_One of the benefits of peppermint oil involves its natural painkiller and muscle-relaxant properties. It’s even been shown to help alleviate fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome. (5)
_For natural headache relief, two essential oils team up for natural pain relief. Peppermint oil improves circulation and lavender reduces muscle tension — two ways to quickly stop a headache in its tracks. Try placing a few drops of peppermint or lavender oil into your hands and then rubbing the blend on your forehead, temples and back of neck. You can also dilute a few drops down by mixing the essential oils with almond, grapeseed or coconut oil.
_The peppermint-lavender combo also teams up to reduce post-workout muscle pain. This handy homemade muscle rub recipe also helps alleviate sore muscles:
natural painkillers - dr. axe
_Note: Certain essential oils posses incredible pain-reducing qualities. (As always, it’s important to use essential oils according to directions because these plant-based compounds are potent. So be sure to mix with carrier oils accordingly when appropriate.)
_3. Epsom Salt
_You may already know that magnesium-rich epsom salt is a natural painkiller for bone and joint pain and muscle soreness. (It’s a go-to remedy for heel spur pain, specifically.) But epsom salt can also come in handy when you’re dealing with a painful splinter or even post-childbirth soreness.
_Soaking an area affected with a splinter in warm water and epsom salt helps painlessly draw out splinters. A sitz bath including epsom salt can help increase magnesium and quell inflammation associated with soreness after childbirth.
_4. Self Myofascial Release
_Foam roller exercises are a form of self-myofascial release that, while kind of mildly painful at times, actually gets out those nagging muscle knots while helping you fix muscle imbalances that lead to poor posture and related musculoskeletal pain. It’s also an emerging treatment to reduce your risk of developing delayed muscle onset soreness, a common exercise-related pain that keeps people out of the gym. (6)
_5. Drink Your Great-Grandma’s Go-To Broth
_Back in the “olden days,” our ancestors didn’t like to waste any part of an animal they were using for food. Because of that, back then, bone broth was a normal part of almost everyone’s diet. Made of bones, marrow, skin, feet, tendons and ligaments, this old-fashioned stock helped provide an ample dose of collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine that is largely missing from the modern American diet.
_Bone broths contain minerals in forms that your body can easily absorb: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and others. They contain chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, the compounds sold as pricey supplements to reduce inflammation, arthritis and joint pain. (7) Here’s one of my go-to bone broth recipes.
_One of the reasons bone broth serves as such a potent natural painkiller involves the ability to act as a soft cushion to help bones glide without friction due to its gelatin content. Think of it as a joint anti-ager.
_6. Graston Technique
_Digging a metal tool into a painful spot, such as the bottom of your foot if you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis, sounds like some sort of medieval torture practice. The Graston technique is an instrument-aided manual therapy that serves as a noninvasive way to deal with soft tissue ailments like achilles tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, shin splints, back and shoulder pain, and other ailments. It’s even been proven to help relieve pain associated with chronic conditions like trigger finger and post-surgery pain in a way that can reduce the amount of painkillers administered.
_The technique works by targeting scar tissues, alerting the body’s immune system that it’s an area that needs to be targeted and healed.
_7. Needles
_When you think of a needle poking into your skin, the last thing you probably think about is natural pain relief. The truth is, though, that dry needling works by stimulating trigger points to reduce pain or disability. A 2007 study found dry needling significantly reduced shoulder pain by targeting a trigger point. Dry needling can also help deal with trigger points that reduce a person’s range of motion, which can lead to serious pain and musculoskeletal side effects.
_8. Rolfing
_Could you find pain relief through a method that focuses on soft tissue manipulation and your psyche? The answer is yes. Rolfing, also known as structural integration, involves soft tissue work and movement education to realign your body’s myofascial structure with gravity. (
(Think of your body’s fascia as the “netting” that encases your muscles and organs.)
_Rolfing not only relieves physical muscle pain rooted in your fascia, but also improves your emotional well-being and energy. Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve your game or someone suffering with TMJ pain, chronic back pain or spine pain, rolfing is something worth exploring. It’s a potent natural painkiller that impacts your neuromuscular system in a positive, pill-free way.

_Take sage leaf, bupleurum and Tyrosine: mix 5 parts bupleurum, 3 parts tyrosine and one part sage leaf powder. Recommended dose of the mix is 1/2 teaspoon three times daily at least 20 minutes before meals. The mix will provide various benefits such as liver support, memory support and thyroid support. The bupleurum and tyrosine both raise dopamine levels. TMG would also be really helpful since methylation is required for dopamine production. The sage is for the nervous system to help control the palsy.
_There is no definitive test for Parkinson's. A diagnosis is based primarily on symptoms, history, including other things that can cause these symptoms, and simply if the person responds to the medications used to treat Parkinson's.
_The best remedy would be to mix these powders: 5 parts bupleurum powder, 3 parts tyrosine and one part sage leaf powder. Recommended dose of the mix is 1/2 teaspoon three times daily at least 20 minutes before meals.
_Bupleurum & tyrosine are dopamine precursors, which raise dopamine levels. Trimethylglycine (TMG) is a methyl donor that is required for the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine. Recommended dose is 500-1000mg three times daily [maybe with meals]. Magnesium malate is great for elevating brain ATP [for energy].
_An animal study has shown that pantethine can protect against experimentally induced Parkinson’s disease. Pantethine was able to stop the decline in ketones to completely arrest the destruction of dopamine neurons. Pantethine was able to protect nerves from wear and tear.

To clear up lung infections mix equal parts of chaparral, thyme, and horseradish powders. Blend them well then fill some capsules. In one of the empty capsules add 8 drops of pure eucalyptus essential oil. Recommend 1 capsule with the 8 drops of oil 3 times daily with the herb capsules. You will exhale the oils killing any fungus, bacteria, or virus in the lungs. The longest I have ever seen this take for pneumonia or bronchitis is 3 days. Only take it as needed. Remember to stay hydrated to keep the mucous in the lungs fluid so it can be expelled with the pathogens.
__PNEUMONIA, BRONCHITIS
_With both acute bronchitis and pneumonia there will usually be phlegm being coughed up with color. Brownish-black indicates bronchitis and yellowish-green indicates pneumonia. Unless he is referring to chronic bronchitis, but they would not give you antibiotics for this. A dry cough can be a few things including an asthmatic cough. Did the doctor do an x-ray? Make sure you staying hydrated as dehydration will make it harder to cough up any phlegm if it is present. Consuming cayenne pepper will also help thin out the mucous as will fenugreek. And an expectorant such as osha' root or horehound will help expel any mucous. Unless there is colored mucous I seriously doubt it is acute bronchitis or pneumonia. And until you are sure what you have knowing how to treat t is going to be difficult.
_And if you have someone who can cup their hands and pound your back around your lungs this will also help to break up the mucous. You can do the same thing on your chest.
_For pheumonia take thyme, chaparral, horseradish, eucalyptus combo capsule a few times a day 20 min before meals. Usually the formula does not take more than 3 days to clear up an infection. Probiotics may stave off pneumonia.
__POST NASAL DRIP

_Supplementing with magnesium malate or magnesium citrate can also help by relaxing the uterus and can help with preventing preeclampsia.
_Nettle leaf and seaweeds are great sources of silica and other nutrition, and both support the endocrine system. Both are also helpful for digestive disorders and constipation, due to their nutritional value.
_Take digestive bitters at least once a day just before meals (just enough to taste), which are the most important to balance the hormones.
_Alfalfa is also very nutritional, and is the highest herbal source of phytoestorgens to help balance the hormones.
_Maca is also beneficial for the body due to the sterol content, and helps to improve fertility.
_Chaparral and andrographis help prevent infections.
_Limit spices in your diet as well as carrots since these can stimulate uterine contractions. Have a good diet with limited meats and dairy, which have too high estrogen content.
_Nipple stimulation increases bonding, so breast feeding is advisable.

_Had 2 miscarriages at earlier stages and was way healthier than I am now. Hopefully I can relax soon as a few more weeks go by. Would love your insight and suggestions as always.
_The red raspberry leaf is the best choice to help prevent miscarriage. And again I highly recommend the nettle leaf for nutritional and glandular support. Limit spices in your diet as well as carrots since these can stimulate uterine contractions.
__PREGNANCY ISSUES
https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1603200_Pregnant women have greater zinc needs. Deficiency can cause impaired fetal development, low birth weight infants, and birth defects. Stretch marks during pregnancy are also partially due to zinc deficiency.
_Zinc deficiency can be caused by inadequate dietary intake due to foods grown on zinc depleted soils. Food processing also removes zinc, so fast foods and processed foods are also zinc depleted.

_FERTILITY
https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1862633_you said andrographis decreases fertility. Is this permanent or only while on the herb?
_It is only temporary while taking the herb. There are only two herbs I have ever seen that can induce permanent infertility in women.
_We plan to start trying to get pregnant in 6 months or so and want to be sure I'm not taking anything to hinder this. Currently I am taking your adrenal, thyroid, and liver tonics and just ordered your flora product. Can you confirm if any herbs in these will affect my future chances and which herbs I should avoid now?
The only formula would be the Live-R-Ight since it has andrographis. But again this only causes temporary infertility. So I recommend stopping it about a month before you try to conceive.
_There will actually be a number of herbs that will need to be avoided once you are pregnant. Nothing in the other two formulas, but you will want to avoid things such as the berberine herbs, juniper berry and many spices as these are uterine stimulants. I would also avoid vitex (chaste tree berry) and wild yam.
_Other than folic acid, what recommendations do you have for vitamins/herbs/supplements prior to trying? Thanks.
_Maca helps increase fertility as does regular grocery store yams. Nettle leaf and alfalfa leaf are great for nutritional support and red raspberry leaf tea can be drunk throughout the pregnancy for nutrition, to prevent miscarriage and to ease the birthing process. To control morning sickness you can sip on small amounts of ginger tea.

_To clear up prostate issues?
_If there is an infection I recommend the chaparral and pau d' arco combined.
_If there is prostate enlargement then I recommend jiaogulan, licorice root, nettle leaf and saw palmetto.
__PROSTATE
https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1603198_Acute prostatitis: Sudden onset of fever; Chills; Lower back pain; Perineal pain; Urinary burning with frequency, urgency, and nocturia
_Chronic prostatitis: Increase in urinary frequency; Increase in urinary urgency; Dysuria; Penile discharge
_Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy: Initial stages asymptomatic; Increased urgency to urinate; Nocturia; Difficulty initiating urination; Reduced force of urine stream; Dribbling; Incomplete bladder emptying; May present persistent bladder infections
_Treatments: Zinc, Lycopene (as from cooked tomatoes), saw palmetto, pygeum, stinging nettle (powder)

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1486694#i_As for the prostate zinc is really important. You can get zinc from raw pumpkin seeds, which also provide essential fatty acids that also aid the prostate. Otherwise supplements can be used for a total of 50mg daily. For selenium I recommend 200mcg 3 times daily with meals. Try to find one combined with 2mg copper if possible. Saw palmetto and pygeum are both pretty good, but jiaogulan is more effective. Nettle leaf and root, bee pollen and licorice root are also very good choices.

Sterols can also kill cancer cells by binding to cholesterol in cancer cell membranes and removing it basically causing cancer cells to "spill their guts".
_What is the role of zinc in prostate health?
_It helps prevent the conversion of testosterone into the more radical dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes prostate enlargement.
_PSA is a useless test.
_Zinc can help with preventing cancer again by reducing DHT formation and by helping to boost the immune system.

_In addition get some eucalyptus essential oil. Place 8 to 10 drops in a separate capsule. Recommend 1 capsule of the oil 3 times daily before meals. This is for ADULTS only, not young children as the oil can be toxic in high doses.
_The chaparral kills viruses, bacteria and fungi as well as boosts the immune system. The thyme and horseradish oils are excreted through the lungs, as is the eucalyptus oil. These oils are also extremely effective in killing viruses, bacteria and fungi.
_The longest I have ever seen this formula take to clear up pneumonia or bronchitis is 3 days. It is a good idea to continue for a few days after symptoms disappear to make sure all traces are cleared up.
__SALIVA ISSUES
Chewing on gum can also help by helping to promote more saliva. The best gums for this are the sugar alcohol gums such as xylitol or sorbitol gums.
__SCALP ITCH, B12 DEFICIENCY, ALLERGY, MENOPAUSE ISSUES, THYROID ISSUES, GUT ISSUES
Re: EXTREMELY itchy scalp - among other things
_My incredibly itchy scalp (crusty white and sometimes bloody) plagues me for years and I feel movement subcutaneously with it - creepy. I hear creaking, clicking, squeaking, cracking and popping of fluid with this. Did the parasites I have tried to kill scatter there? Or is my Liver still a wreck? It started on the back of my neck, popped out over torso and legs(not white or crusty, but itchy and scarring)periodically and then goes away, but never leaves my head. It does not respond to much topically (neem,tea tree and every other kind of oil - Acv helps briefly).Could be mite? Now is creeping beyond hairline to face. Had intense ear and nose itch when it began.
_--Mites are one possibility, or it could be eczema or a dermatitis. You could start with olive oil and rub a large amount in to the hair then cover it with a shower cap and leave overnight. This will suffocate any mites. And wash all your bedding when you do this. I also recommend that you work on your adrenals in case is it is eczema or a dermatitis. Of course this will also mean quitting the smoking and coffee.
_It first occurred after several rounds of hair bleaching with PPD in product. Hair became dull lank and instead of paying attention I colored it. All hair is virgin once again, and amazingly growing healthily of late.
_Recent blood work shows depleted B12 and folic acid. All else is in NORMAL ranges, yet I have low energy still after three months sub-lingual B12 supplementation w/B9 and more recent blood work shows even LOWER levels - RBC low and enlarged.
_--The enlarged RBCs (macrocytosis) can occur from the lack of B12 and folic acid.
_Slighty elevated cholesterol 110 does not concern medicos or me. I am using their diagnostic tools to satisfy my family, but NONE of their PHARMAS since 2004 - the last antibiotic of the 50 or so rounds in my life.
_Previous history - LOTS of asthma, allergy
_--These are from adrenal dysfunction.
_, sinus and migraines(migraines stopped at menopause). No asthma or junky lungs for 8 years until recent crud - 6 weeks of sinus and lung junk. I feel a sinus condition has been at work all along - candida there? LUNG/sinus parasites?
_--It is impossible to say without a culture. Run a search on my post about treating lung infections with chaparral, thyme, horseradish root and eucalyptus oil. This is a quick and effective full range antimicrobial that is specific to the respiratory tract.
_5 years ago menopause without typical hot flash, mood swing stuff - it just stopped - but real dry skin however
_--Dry skin is common after menopause as the unoposed estrogen suppresses the thyroid.
_and muscle wasting,
_--There are several possibilities for this one.
_cellulite began slowly and around that time
_--Cellulite is caused from a breakdown of the underlying connective tissue of the skin. This causes splits in the connective tissue and the fat pushes through causing the dimpling. Silica will help as well as vitamin C (natural sources). Quitting the smoking and coffee will also help as these deplete the vitamin C by putting more stress on the adrenals. Gotu kola helps to promote conenctive tissue formation, so it can also help with cellulite.
_I suffered a bad fall-broken knee and HEAD INJURY - resulting knee infect. - antibiotic - HEALTH declined significantly from this time. Bad diet with severe sugar craving. I seemed to age overnight - I am 55 and have given life to 4 healthy individuals. Had IUD for several years late 70's. Could never take birth control - developed aching deep in bones just a few weeks into it - docs said "NO you will have stroke".
_EXTREME brain fog
_--This is likely associated with the thyroid problems.
_set in with digestive disturbance shortly after trip to Cold Stone Ice cream on crutches and got bad stomach ache - a week or so later I had HOT painful organ in back quadrant around lower ribs wake me from sound sleep - eventually could not pee with any force. Felt an absorption problem - not even water was making to cellular level.
_--Sounds like a kidney problem, maybe a stone passing.
_History of low BP 90/60 - a few months ago 88/50.
_--Low blood pressure like this is common with adrenal dysfunction.
_Brain fog lifted 85% about a year ago after attention to diet, a few enemas, parasite cleasing, candida no-low carb diet and antifungals -
_--The herbs used, especially for parasites, often contain black walnut hull. This is the highest herbal source of iodine, which can help the thyroid. This in turn can help with the brain fog.
_lost too much weight 5'6" @ 118 now, but dropped to near 110. Had to add carbs back or die I felt. Former D cup now is little breast and no libido.
_--This indicates that your hormones are out of whack. Estrogen is low and possibly high progesterone. Lack of estrogen shrinks the breasts. Low estrogen and/or high progesterone kills the libido. Since you are in menopause your primary source of sex hormones are the adrenal glands. So again you need to focus on them.
_I have shrunk all around. Was close to 5'8" and carried 140 easily. Candida issue has been there all along I'm thinking with no breatfeeding and allergic to formulas and colic - many ear infections as child. Pneumonia multiple times. Mono in high school and lots of alcohol and misc. drugs along the way - no mainline. Stopped drinking in 2002.
_Lymph system challenged through all this. Crunchies from eyes most days and blepharitis previously with eyelash and eyebrow loss.
_--The use of cosmetics around the eye is the most common cause of belpharitis. When you apply makeup the makeup becomes contaminated with bacteria. With time the bacterial counts go up increasing the risk of infection.
_I have a large collection of white,black,red,blue and irridescent specks and critters that I have on clear tape from my skin. Collembola I have identified. Chemtrails abound sometimes here in Colorado - even found some grey goo in yard. Cat died 6 months ago, so no more pets to bring anyhting in. Cat had same skin troubles right before I did.
_Recent COLONOSCOPY revealed 2.5 cm adenoma polyp -removed and tattoed with small diverticulitis,internal hemorroid
_--The silica and vitamin C can also help with the diverticulitis and hemorrhoid.
_and some melanosis (medicos wanted to know if I had done cascara sagrada - yes briefly at beginning of trying to not die journey, but stopped when my research kept saying NO)
_Head injury has been completely ignored by me and everyone else(knee got all atention) but recently I am wondering about long range effects as it is not the first or only - I was battered by husband and have had whiplash with car accident.
_--Some good herbs for brain function include gotu kola, juniper berry, rosemary, and periwinkle.
_As I am experiencing healing slowly all around with different protocals and healing in reverse things are pointing to the spot above left eyebrow that got whacked. I can see the places on my skin that were roadrashed and bruised lately - 5 years later! Layers of itching derm,seb,psoriasis ? are coming to the surface.
_--If it is thick patchy and flaky then it is likely psoriasis. If there is a flat rash looking patch then it could be a dermatitis or eczema.
_Tinnitus for many months - only a bit left.
_--This is most often caused from a constiction of blood flow in the ear area. Gotu kola and periwinkle are both very good for this. Magnesium malate or citrate can also help.
_Experienced NORMAL type but unusual for me headaches, balance problems, body temp. fluctuations after injury.
_--A displacement in the neck can cause the headaches and balance problems. Stress adversely affects the thyroid causing the temperature fluctuations.
_I had a bout of West Nile virus 7 years ago - had all symptoms, rash and disorientation after multiple mosquito bites on back of left arm - legs felt like they were going to paralyze for several months.
_*** I am a Stained Glass artist for 31 years - handle much lead, copper, zinc and other metals. Solder lead/tin.
_--Seaweeds, pectins from fruits and vegetables, silica, and chlorella are all good for metal removal. Amla berry can help protect the DNA from metal damage when detoxing the metals.
_I stopped drinking milk 4 years ago and drink RO Culligan 33 cents a gallon water for two years - glad to know about DE. Water controversy is frustrating - storebought and carried RO is all I have been able to afford.
_I stopped using ant-perspirant - Crystal instead 2 years ago.
_--These crystals are still often aluminum salts.
_No flouride in toothpaste change 1 year ago and bath and shampoo change 6 months ago.
_Currently I am doing -
Bitters and DE (two weeks)
Borage
_--Make sure it is not solvent extracted.
Flax
Coconut oil
Cod liver oil (controversial?)
_--A good source is fine.
Olive oil sometimes
Whole Foods COMPLETE brand Multi
Olive leaf

Oregano oil
_--I would drop.
Probiotics (Jarro right now-3.4 billion)
_--I would also add some form of kefir in high doses.
MSM
Molybdenum
Biotin
lecithin
_--Make sure to use the granules, not liquids or softgels.
sea salt
cayenne
Milk thistle
ACV and Lemon in water
Mag citrate (three weeks)
_I may not have correct dosages going always trying to conserve limited resources.
Detox baths (combos - epsom, soda, perox, acv)
_--You can use sea salt for water softeners to save money. A 50 pound bag is around $4 and it will still detox you if the water is made salty enough. Add enough salt to saturate the water. And drink plenty of water during the bath to stay hydrated.
_I have a cabinet full of items from my experimentation such as Maca which I did for awhile with no noticeable effect. GSE is on board sometimes. Calcium/Mag oxide is in a back corner - purchased prior to knowledge of OXIDES problems. Activated charcoal will or will not help?
_--I would avoid it. Charcoal also absorbs vitamins and minerals from the body.
_I use Stevia regularly, but break out in rash of self-will with a nasty cookie or doughnut spree once in a while.
Bread I try to find without yeast and gluten.
Diet is much better with juicing, rarely any meats,
_--Some red meat would be a good idea since you could use the B12. Eggs are also a good source. Otherwise get a good sublingual in the form of methylcobalamin.
lots of veggies and quinoa, brown rice, eggs, apples, blueberries, nuts, rice milk - I hate cooking so this has been rough.
_BUT I still drink coffee and smoke the worlds smallest cigs - Capri - 4 packs a week - I KNOW I KNOW !!!!
_I put away the chlorella - still have a mouth full of amalgam - one broken.
_--Chlorella is a good supplement. I would stay on it.
_Suffered a severe punch in the face 7 years ago and had open nickle-sized hole through cheek below corner of mouth above jaw - railroad track lacerations in mouth from chin to ear with softball size wound that filled and exploded outward repeatedly for several months, then shrunk to golfball size for about a year - I'll bet parasite life had a heyday there. No money for doc at that time. Lower molar broke 2 years ago at site of impact with exposed metal I filed with metal file to stop my tongue being cut.
_I eat fresh pineapple and eat pumpkin seeds which helped kill a tapeworm. I have passed many liver flukes, candida and hairlike parasites - once a glowing gree glob of something - many seed and rice looking things. Had pinworms at the start. Hopefully some are being sliced and diced with DE. I still feel wigglies in my feet.
_--This is most likely a neuropathy from the B vitamin deficiencies.
__SCARRING PREVENTION
There are a few things that can help. One is the comfrey root, which contains a high content of healing allantoin. Once it has healed some coco butter can be applied, but it will have to be melted then some oil added so that when it cools it will be soft enough to apply. I would recommend blending the butter with unrefined avocado oil or sunflower seed oil. I generally mix about 4 ounces of the butter with 2 ounces of oil. When the mix cools but has not hardened yet healing essential oils can be added such as lavender oil. As it continues to cool it will resolidify, but will melt with body heat making it easy to apply. Castor oil is also supposed to be good for scars. And ginger poulticies can be used to eat aways the scar tissue so new healthy tissue can grow in.
__SCARS
For scars, use protease enzyme sources such as powdered ginger root mixed with a little rice bran as an exfoliant.
__SCHIZOPHRENIA, D: **PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS
I have recommended GABA for people with schizophrenia in the past and they got wonderful results with it. But glycine is easier to absorb and still raises GABA levels. You might want to consider giving glycine a try for a lot of your issues. It could help with the tardive dyskinesia as well. Recommended dose would be 1,000mg three times daily at least 30 minutes before meals.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1599773_The best herb for increasing testosterone is tribulus terrestris. Nettle root is a good herb to combine with tribulus. Nettle root is what is known as an aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts testosterone in to estrogen. So by blocking this enzyme the nettle root can help maintain testosterone levels. Trimethylglycine (TMG) is a methyl donor that aids in the formation of hormones among other things. Zinc is also essential for testosterone formation, though you should not exceed 50mg daily.
_And don't forget to focus on the adrenals. The adrenals also generate testosterone.
_Tribulus increases testosterone. Saw palmetto is a DHT blocker. You can also use nettle root as an aromatase inhibitor to block the conversion of testosterone in to estrogen.
_Delay orgasm as long as possible to increase oxytocin levels.
__SINUS INFECTION
_One of the most common mistakes I see doctors make is the prescribing of antibiotics without first performing a culture. This is especially true for sinus infections. Time and time again I have seen people given antibiotics for sinus infections without a culture. The majority of the time antibiotic therapy fails. The problem is that antibiotics work against bacteria, though the majority of sinus infections are fungal in origin. If a fungal infection is present in the sinuses, antibiotic therapy will not only fail, but the therapy will make the condition worse. The sinuses, like various other parts of the body, contain beneficial bacteria. These bacteria, among other functions, help to control fungal overgrowth. As antibiotics kill off the beneficial bacteria, the fungal infection becomes free to grow uncontrolled.
_Fungal infections of the sinus cavity are actually extremely difficult to eradicate. My former business partner suffered with a fungal sinus infection for seven years when I met him. He was prescribed antibiotics over and over without any success. A few doctors did run cultures, though the cultures failed to show infection. I made him a concoction of osha’ root, cayenne pepper, and licorice root. The next day a large fungus ball came out of his sinuses. Analysis by a medical lab determined that the infection was a very aggressive black fungus. The constant antibiotic therapy just increased the hold the fungus had in his sinus cavity.
_Further complicating the problem is the fact that the sinus cavity is a warm, moist environment. This is the perfect growing environment for fungus. When trying to fight fungal infections, two problems arise. First, any fungus being killed can become food for the surviving fungus. Second, if even one fungal spore remains the infection may rebound.
_Many feel the best way to address sinus infections is to first get a culture so the type of infection is known. If the infections are proven to be bacterial, pharmaceutical or herbal antibiotics, such as pau d’ arco, are recommended. Fungal infections are best addressed by trying to restore the flora in the sinus cavity. Probiotic supplements, or probiotic foods, such as yogurt or kefir, can help. A probiotic powder, such as acidophilus powder, may be made into a liquid, with the addition of distilled water, for nasal irrigation, or snuffing. This will help elevate levels of beneficial bacteria in the sinus cavity. Eating horseradish may also help. Horseradish root contains a volatile oil, with extremely strong antiseptic properties. When ingested, the oil is absorbed into the bloodstream, and excreted through the respiratory passages. By trying to breathe through the nose, the oil is forced up into the sinus cavity where it can help fight infection.
_Limiting the intake of simple sugars, high glycemic foods, and yeast products may also help. Consumption of alcohol and caffeine should also be eliminated.
_Maintaining a healthy immune system is also essential. A few suggestions are the herbs amla berry, schisandra berry, astragalus, jiaogulan, and myrrh. Other recommended supplements include 50 mg of zinc daily, 200 micrograms of selenium three times a day, and 10,000IU daily of vitamin A. Vitamin C is important, though excessive doses are not recommended. Natural sources of vitamin C are more effective than synthetic forms. This is why I recommend amla berry, which is my favorite source of natural vitamin C.
__SINUS INFECTION, FUNGAL
So it sounds like you likely have a fungal infection. My recommendation is to try and reestablish the flora in your sinuses. The best way to do this is to get some Acidophilus powder, not capsules. The capsules are going to have flow agents and other items that you don't want in your sinuses. Put some powder in a water bottle cap and add just enough water to make a thick liquid. Then lay down and put your head back. Use an eyedropper to put a little of the liquid in the nose and snuff it up in the sinuses. Repeat this several times a day. It will probably take a week or so for the numbers to build up enough to see a real difference. If you can make some kefir water to use instead of the Acidophilus then that would be even better.
__SKIN ISSUES
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1549217#i_Cayenne helps because peppers, as well as ripe bell peppers and sweet stuffing peppers, are all high in vitamin C and sulfur. Both are required for the formation of collagen and elastin, which give tissues including blood vessels strength and elasticity.
_But collagen and elastin formation also requires silica as well as traces of copper and zinc. Peppers are not a very good source of silica. Better choices are watercress and nettle leaf which are rich in silica, vitamin C and sulfur. In addition these are also great sources of quercetin, which forms blood vessel strengthening rutin, and vitamin K that also strengthens blood vessels.
_Gotu kola helps to stimulate collagen formation.
__SLEEP ISSUES, DEPRESSION, SIDE PAIN
___Taurine, ___glycine, ___GABA, ___kava, ___scullcap, ___ashwagandha and ___lady's slipper are all great choices to help calm the mind for sleep. If you can find lady's slipper this is the most powerful thing I have found yet for sleep. It is considered a narcotic herb.
_Someone began not sleeping well again and was getting a mild pain on the right side just below the ribs. Then the face began to break out. Then the emotional/mental state went way off track and depression set back in big time and Brain fog.
_Brain fog is most commonly caused from thyroid dysfunction.
_This could very likely be the gallbladder. If you are having temporary hormonal fluctuations a rise in estrogen or progesterone could cause problems with the gallbladder. Estrogen increases cholesterol release in to the gallbladder, while progesterone prevents gallbladder contractions.
_Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber in your diet for bile salt formation, and consuming SMALL amounts of oils will help stimulate gallbladder contractions to prevent stones from forming.
_This really sounds like a hormone issue. Breaking out is from androgens, which can be either testosterone or progesterone. And increases of estrogen from progesterone or testosterone can cause depression due to the suppressive effects of estrogen on the thyroid.
_This could be a temporary shift in the hormones as your body is trying to balance its hormonal system, especially if the vitex is finally kicking in. I don't see anything else in what you are doing that could cause this.
__SLEEP ISSUES
TOO STRESSED TO SLEEP SUPPLEMENTS
http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1839654_One simple thing that can be done is to give up the caffeine and support the adrenals. One role of the adrenals is to maintain our energy levels. When people abuse caffeine to increase their energy they are actually doing the opposite in a way. As they crash their adrenals they actually become more dependent on the stimulant to try and get their energy up. If they crash their adrenals enough then the caffeine does not really provide this effect anymore. You may have heard people say that they can drink a cup of coffee and go right to sleep. These are the people who have crashed their adrenals. The adrenals can only produce small amounts of epinephrine (adrenaline) at a time. When a person uses caffeine on a regular basis they use up the epinephrine faster than it can be produced. This leads to a gradual decline of epinephrine. If this goes on long enough and frequently enough then the person can drink a cup of coffee, which results in most of the available epinephrine being used up so there is not enough to maintain their energy so they fall asleep after drinking the coffee.
_So avoiding coffee in the first place would be a great start. This way the adrenals would have a better chance to naturally maintain energy levels.
_If a little extra boost is needed then they could use something like ___bee pollen, ___American licorice root or a good quality ___Panax ginseng for a safer energy boost.
__SLEEPLESSNESS
https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1770677#i_But trying glycine instead of benzos would be a good start. You may also want to give nettle leaf a try before bed. Nettle leaf supports the adrenals, is a good source of chromium and magnesium for blood sugar control, and has a fair amount of protein again to help stabilize blood sugar. Chlorella would also be a good choice as it is about 60% protein for blood sugar control and also helps with metal detoxification.
__SMOKING ADDICTION (VIDEOS), VAPING
First get licorice roots, phenylalanine, cream of tartar & calamus root and do #1 & 2. After 2 weeks, get orange juice and do #3 & 4.
1. Buy licorice root sticks (the real root, not the candy), cut each one to the size of a cigarette & suck on it when needed for dopamine.
Drink up to 2 quarts water per day to help flush nicotine out of the system.
2. Take phenylalanine for dopamine & appetite suppression 1g 3x/day on empty stomach 30' before meals,
takes 2 weeks to show effects.
3. 2 weeks after #2, add a tablespoon of cream of tartar to a glass of orange juice. Drink one glass 3x/day to remove nicotine faster than with water.
4. Chew on calamus root for aversion therapy, as it causes nausea when smoking.
5. After quitting, don't smoke again, because it's more addictive after quitting.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1551277#i_I see all the additives in cigarettes as being more dangerous. Especially the freon used to fluff up the tobacco. When burned it is converted in to a very powerful poison called phosgene. There is the carbon monoxide, cadmium, etc. My favorite additive on the list is ambergris (whale poop). There are sites that will tell you how to make your own [vaping] refills cheaply. This can be done with glycerine, which is readily available.
__SPASM, FACIAL
_I'm having facial spasms...could my imbalalance indicate a calcium deficiency?
_No. Spasms are most often from a lack of magnesium, which works by blocking the actions of calcium that causes muscles to contract, including spasms.

https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1897839_I've got a few questions im hoping you could clarify. Regarding DHT and hairloss, unfortunately I happen to find myself in this situation. My hair seems to be receding at the temples (its more prominent on the right temple) and its becoming quite noticeable. You recommended licorice root as a DHT Blocker. If taken internally, I use the sticks/roots by the way, what is the recommended dosage that would specifically be helpful towards this condition?
_You can use the licorice internally, but putting it directly at the source will provide more benefit. If you want to use it internally then I recommend 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon 3 times daily before meals. For topical use I recommend boiling a spoon full of the licorice root in a cup and a half of water for 15 minutes covered. Then turn off the heat and allow it to cool. Strain the tea in to a dark bottle and add about a half teaspoon of rubbing alcohol to the mix to help preserve it. After washing your hair and towel drying put about a spoon full of the tea in to your palms and massage it in to your scalp focusing primarily on the temples and top of your head. This will help block the DHT at the source of the problem.
_The reason I ask this is because im considering muscle building and correct me if im wrong, the more testosterone levels , the more DHT.
_This is not necessarily true. Not al testosterone is converted in to DHT. So a person can raise their testosterone without raising DHT at the same rate.
_Does this mean I would need to increase the dosage of licorice to counter-act the increased production of testosterone levels?
_No. If you want to help maintain testosterone though you can also add nettle root, which blocks the conversion of testosterone in to estrogen.
_And again, is it possible to restore the already lost hair within my temple region - there still seems to be hair but its very faint
_Yes, as long as there is at least fuzz that means that the hair follicles are still alive and can regrow. If there is nothing left then the follicles are dead and cannot be restored.
_Also, I've experienced chronic dandruff on top of my head for years so im assuming this is some sort of fungal infection. The sides and back of my head are okay. Even the texture of my hair on top of my head seems to be more dry and wavy compared to the rest of my hair. Does fungal infections affect the texture of hair? Any possible solution to this?
_Dandruff can be caused by the fungus Malassezia furfur. There are several things you can do for this including adding antifungal oils to your shampoo such as thyme or eucalyptus oils and rinsing your hair with a weak organic acid solution such as vinegar or a weak citric acid solution.
_The acids can also be added to your shampoo to help balance out the pH. Some dandruff shampoos also use salicylic acid (aspirin) to treat the dandruff.
_Dry hair can be from the alkaline nature of shampoos that damage the hair, or from hypothyroidism.
_Waves in hair are in part genetic but are also supposedly enhanced by increased dietary sulfur, which can increase hair keratin.
_My forehead also seems to be very oily compared the rest of my face. Especially in the mornings when I wake up, my forehead gleams with oil! Any reason why it localized in this area and what could possibly be done to correct this?
_Active testosterone and DHT stimulate the sebaceous glands, which are larger in certain areas such as the forehead. So as long as you are trying to boost your testosterone you are going to increase this problem. You can try the licorice root tea on your forehead though as well to calm down the sebaceous glands.

__THYROID ISSUES
Ashwagandha root extract can normalize thyroid hormone levels
https://www.sott.net/article/366447-Ashwagandha-root-extract-can-normalize-thyroid-hormone-levels_For the thyroid I would go with suma, maca and ashwagandha. The reason is suma and maca also help balance the hormones, which can also affect the thyroid and ashwagandha since it also helps with T4 to T3 conversion.
_ I tend to use ashwagandha more for adrenal support. Ashwagandha affects the GABA receptors in the brain giving it a mild tranquilizing effect. It is also great for the thyroid and especially stress associated hypothyroidism. It is in the nightshade family, but people with nightshade sensitivities still tolerate it really well.
_It works on inflammation by strengthening the adrenals. The adrenals produce anti-inflammatory corticosteroids.
_Nettle and ashwagandha are both good for hypothyroidism.
_Ashwagandha will not work by itself for the thyroid. Vitamin C and pantothenic acid sources are also needed for the adrenals and maybe some seaweeds for both the adrenals and the thyroid.
_I would go with 1 tablet of ashwagandha 3 times daily on an empty stomach at least 20 minutes before meals. This way you will maintain levels of the active compounds in the blood rather than having peaks then absences of the compounds. Taking herbs on an empty stomach prevents proteins and fats from interfering with the absorption of the compounds.
_But high levels of estrogen also suppress the thyroid. And bitters cleanse the liver, lowering excessive levels of hormones.
_Ashwagandha and coleus forskohlii both support the thyroid through different mechanisms.

__TOOTH INFECTION
For a tooth infection, which can cause the face to swell on one side like that, I recommend boiling some pau d' arco for 20 minutes covered then the heat turned off and allowed to steep until cooled. Drink the tea frequently throughout the day swishing the tea inside the mouth each time. The pau d' arco contains 18 antiseptics and 5 anti-inflammatories. If you want to sweeten the tea add a little licorice root to the tea when boiling it.
__TOOTH ISSUES, CAVITIES, FILLINGS, MERCURY
_I think the whole mercury amalgam issue is way over blown. Most of the mercury is leached out the amalgam within the first two years of being put in. And that gets mostly bound to phytates and algins from our diets preventing it from ever really being absorbed. The binding is so strong that as the phytates and algins get excreted they carry the toxic metals with them.

_A lot of singers use licorice mixed with herbs like slippery elm to reduce inflammation of the vocal chords. In this case it is used as a spray. If taken internally in high doses for extended periods of time it can change the voice due to its estrogenic properties. For example, it can raise a man's voice.
