2 hours agoRe: Borax For Shoulder Pain
2 hours agoYes, low or no carb will wreck your metabolism, thin your bones and down regulate your thyroid due to lack of glucose. It took me some years to figure it out. You will get better, safer results if you just eat clean, don't eat vegetable oils—canola and corn oils are the absolute worst and they plus others lower energy production at mitochondrial level. Fresh fruits. WHITE rice cooked veg and moderate fats and adequate protein. Just getting off grains and processed food made a huge difference. I should have stopped there but went keto and ruined my metabolism. 3 years later I'm still trying to heal it. Beware of keto and carnivore crap from the gurus. Also no IF or too much fasting. Humans are designed to eat food. Not live off air.
Re: Borax Treatment for Trigger Finger Not Yet Working
18 hours agoI hope you have gotten over it by now. But anyone reading this post maybe interested to know that the best way I have found to cure a trigger finger is to get a fairly hard rubber ball about the size of your palm. Squeeze it with your hand that has the trigger finger
Just squeeze it over and over and pretty soon your trigger finger is fixed. Someone told me to do that and it has fixed mine on more than one occasion. Apparently it fixes a lot of people's, hopefully yours!

19 hours agoA healing crisis is a temporary worsening of health that can occur during the healing process, often due to the elimination of toxins from the body. Symptoms may include headaches, nausea, and fatigue, but this reaction is typically a sign that the body is detoxifying and healing.

Re: Art's Memory Loss Protocol
1 day agoHi Peggy,
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a known and common side effect of lithium when it is taken as a prescription medication at a dose range of 900 - 1800 mg /day. It seems unlikely at the 10 mg/day that your husband is taking. I do not have an alternative replacement suggestion for lithium orotate.
My suggestion would be to make sure that it is the lithium orotate that is causing the ED by having your husband stop taking the lithium orotate to see if the ED improves. LO is a critical component of the memory remedy. There are a myriad of possible causes for ED and ED is associated with aging as discussed here by Google AI :
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Erectile dysfunction is closely linked to aging, but it is not considered an inevitable part of growing older. While the prevalence of ED increases significantly with age—affecting roughly 40% of men in their 40s and increasing by about 10% each decade—it is primarily driven by the accumulation of age-related health conditions rather than aging alone.
National Institutes of Health (.gov) +8
Why ED Increases with Age
Comorbidities: Conditions that become more common with age, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, are the leading physical causes of ED.
Vascular Changes: Aging is associated with "vascular remodeling, " including the narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis) and reduced blood flow, which directly impacts the ability to achieve an erection.
Hormonal Shifts: Testosterone levels naturally decline by about 1–2% per year after age 30, which can contribute to reduced libido and erectile difficulties.
Structural Changes: The penis itself undergoes cellular changes over time, such as a loss of smooth muscle cells and a decrease in elasticity (fibrosis), making it harder for the tissue to retain blood.
National Institutes of Health (.gov) +7
Important Distinctions
Not Exclusive to Older Men: ED is increasingly reported in younger men (under 40), where it is often linked to psychological factors like stress or performance anxiety, though organic issues like early-stage vascular disease can also be a factor.
Harbinger of Other Issues: Doctors often view ED as a "sentinel symptom" for more serious underlying health problems. Because the arteries in the penis are smaller than those in the heart, ED can appear years before a major cardiovascular event like a heart attack.
Treatable at Any Age: Age is not a limiting factor for medical management. Many men remain sexually active well into their 70s and 80s using treatments like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra, Cialis), lifestyle changes, or other therapies.
National Institutes of Health (.gov) +8
According to the Mayo Clinic, while you might notice changes in rigidity or the time it takes to achieve an erection as you age, the persistent inability to do so is not "normal" and warrants a medical evaluation.

Hypertension and some medications to treat hypertension can also cause ED. There is a long list of causes for ED.

1 day agoRe: Antibiotic Resistant UTIs
1 day agoDear Brooke,
I am sorry to hear about these deadly and chronic UTI's - painful, discouraging, and in your case, life threatening!
I have had chronic UTI's for years. A year ago I was in the ER with one. I did do the week of antibiotics and then started on cornsilk tea. I buy loose, organic cornsilk. Each day I put 1 Tablespoon of the dry tea in a mason jar and pour boiling water over it. After a couple of hours I strain it and drink it. Daily. I have not had a UTI since. Sounds too easy, but for me it has been life changing.
I started back on nettle and red raspberry leaf, too. I add them to the cornsilk. (about a T. of each.) As I am menopausal, all things pelvic floor need all the help they can get.
I also do not eat sugar or much in the way of refined carbs.
I hope you find a solution to this. Please come back and let us know what worked for you!

Re: Coconut Oil for Hypothyroidism
2 days agoI am aware this is an old post and that the original poster will likely never see my reply.
However, for all those that read (Gail from North Bend, WA) testimony, I would like to add that she is one of the few that had determined based on her symptoms that she was Hypothyroid along with Adrenal Fatigue as she mentions nothing about doctors, blood tests nor medication.
I have a friend in Minnesota (she is in her mid 80's) that told me when she was diagnosed back in the 1980's there was no blood work being done at that time for diagnosis of Hypothyroidism. She said her symptoms were: Low Body Temperature (below 98.6), constantly cold, always tired, dry hair and skin. That is how doctors used to determine Hypothyroidism and then they prescribed Armor. Armor was natural, which is why it worked so very well for most people.
For everyone 45 and older, do you remember how doctors always tested our temperature when we came in for a visit, no matter the reason?
Know that Big Pharm, Insurance and the AMA can't/won't allow this anymore as they came up with Synthroid and then Levothyroxine.
Everyone I know reveres the "Experts" in the white coats as the only judgement one holds as true. I assure you they are not "experts" and like any business that wants to make money, there is no benefit in curing anyone. Otherwise, the entire system would collapse and BILLIONS of $$$$ would be history within this industry.
Here's a thought, start by trying 1 teaspoon of coconut oil for 3 to 5 days without using whatever medication for Hypothyroidism (it's just a thought, I'm not telling you what to do, just want people to consider thinking for themselves) to see if the coconut oil may actually work for Hypothyroidism symptoms. Try increasing slowly to get up to 2 tsp and work your way up to higher amounts.
If your medication were working so well for you in the first place, would you be here looking for other answers for your Hypothyroid symptoms? I doubt it! Congrats to Gail!
P.S. The side effects listed on Google & Drugs.com for either or both Synthroid and Levothyroxine are: heart palpitations, fast or irregular heart beat, chest pain, pain spreading to your jaw or shoulder, weakness, tremors, memory problems, nervousness, insomnia, excessive sweating & heat intolerance, temporary hair loss, muscle weakness, headache, leg cramps muscle aches.

2 days agoHi Art, have my husband on your memory protocol for 3 months: D3 5000, Vinpocetine 30mg, Lithium Orotate 10mg, and Melatonin 10mg. He has lately developed E.D. After doing some research I see that the cause could be the Lithium Orotate. Is there anything else I can replace this with? Thanks
Natural GLP-1 Support and Metabolic Health
2 days agoIn the article it shows "2026 Natural GLP-1 Support Protocol", is this what we will need to take?
This is the first time I have visited the site. I have Crohn's and possible Hypothyroidism (diagnosed years ago, Dr.made me get off meds and now another doctor thinks I have it) and with early stages of premenopausal and it's not fun. On the Crohn's and Hypothyroidism articles, it doesn't show or give any other information I haven't read before. Other than eating differently, are there not any natural remedies for these? In other words, I am gaining weight and cannot lose it due to no energy, cravings, etc. I want to lose weight, I'm not lazy, I just can't function right.
Re: Antibiotic Resistant UTIs
2 days agoI looked more into recurring UTI's.The U.T. Vibrance Powder is a great choice. Depending on the damage to bladder walls. Their are other herbs that can help heal the bladder further.
In chinese medicine the urinary bladder meridian can have blockages, which can help cause uti's. If you walk pigeon toed or notice pain, discomfort, muscle knots along the back of leg down the middle, it zigzags across butt, and runs between the spinal cord and shoulder blades. look for ub meridian picture.
I have found that D3 deficiency can be a cause of reoccurring uti's. You need to look at what your eating and drinking. Coffee with sugar, pop or acidic foods and liquids will cause inflammation in bladder, aiding bacteria etc. to stick to the bladder walls. Your length of antibiotic use kills good and bad bacteria. You will need pro biotics for a few months or so. This is why I encourage going to ND. Just in case it's not simple.
Re: Antibiotic Resistant UTIs
3 days agoThis is in response to ivybridge from TN re antibiotic immune UTIs: There is a natural product on the market called U.T. Vibrance Powder that I have used with great success at clearing U.T. I.s. It's primary ingredient is d-mannose, but it contains other natural ingredients that sooth and bring the bacteria in the bladder back into balance. The last time I had a U.T.I. was in 2018. I used two canisters to make sure it was gone. Since that time, I use plain d-mannose most days to keep the bladder in balance.

3 days agoRe: Need Help for Recurring Antibiotic Immune UTIs
3 days agoBrooke,
Consider MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) or colloidal silver. Silver is easier to take, so you can try that, 3 tablespoons a day at least 10 days, but I would do two weeks. (Sovereign silver works). Also make sure you take D-Mannose and cranberry, and in between silver doses you could take oregano oil. Easier to buy the emulsified pills, Gaia is a good brand. Take as directed.
If silver does not work, you can always do MMS, can get on Amazon.
I had them for years and finally took an antibiotic with silver, lemon, d-mannose, cranberry, small doses of hydrogen peroxide, etc. Also had a rife machine. It finally got rid of it but ended up with gastritis. Don't recommend the lemon or peroxide as it was too much for my stomach.
If you feel like you can take another antibiotic with the silver, the silver will boost it, but sometimes people can get rid of it with the silver and d-mannose, and cranberry.
Re: MMS for Dogs
3 days agoYes I'm interested in dog dosage for a dog that's 50 pounds due to a tumor. She should be 40 pounds. I need to know how to mix the formula. How many drops to how much water and how many times a day would really appreciate if you could get right back to me as she is not doing very good.
