What is the difference between EDTA Disodium and EDTA Calcium Disodium? I have a friend who is using Kelation Plus and seems to be doing very well on it, I considered getting bulk powdered EDTA and adding it to EmergenC as a cheaper (and hopefully better) copy of Kelation Plus, the problem is I don’t know what version of EDTA that company uses. Any information about the two different types and which one is preferred would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wretha   [End]

You might want to contact them and ask how long 1 bottle lasts, that IS expensive, but if it lasts a long time, then it may be worth it. They also have a money back guarantee, so if it lasts a long time, you have very little to lose. Wretha   [End]

Try this: http://thecrystal.com/pages/608/footspray.html I use it and it works, I have a friend who uses it specifically for foot odor, according to him, it can clear out a room when he takes his shoes off, I reccomended this for him and he tells me that it works great for him, no more foot odor. They have a foot spray, I use the liquid body spray, it is all the same thing, just different total amounts. You should be able to get it in any good health food store or vitamin store, I get mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. Let me know if you use it and how it works for you. Wretha   [End]

Yes, I am the person who had the ”pimple” like thing on my gums, it was on the bottom gum right below my middle teeth, it didn’t hurt at all, this occured on my 4th day of oil pulling (once a day), I popped it with an Exacto knife blade and great gobs of pus came out, it was swollen and a bit sore for about 4 days. I quit pulling during that time. Now it’s just fine, though if I push on that spot, a tiny bit of pus still comes out, there is still no pain of any sort. I have begun to OP again, now I am adding oil of oregano and tea tree oil. I have pretty good teeth, it’s my gums that in ne ...

Horking!!! That is soooo funny, don’t know why that word makes me giggle like a little kid, reminded me of when my sister and I were very small children, we used to play a game to see who could make the other laugh first, we would say all sorts of ”bad” things, the one I always used (because it always worked!) was ”Ronald McDonald pooped in his pants.”, you had to be there I guess, and visualize him wearing those yellow, baggy pants... anyhoo, sorry for the ramble...

Are you absolutely sure it is the actual tooth or could it be tarter build up? I have tarter build up on the inside of my bottom teeth, on occasion a piece of it will break off and if I didn’t know any better, I would think it was part of my tooth. Tarter would have a sand like grit feel to it. Just a thought... Wretha   [End]

Why did I gag? I think the first time I did it because toward the end of the first 10 minutes, I had developed a big air bubble in my mouth, I tried to get rid of the air bubble by tilting my jaw down and ”swallowing” the air bubble without swallowing the oil/saliva mixture, I didn’t want to open my mouth for fear of dribbling, WRONG MOVE! It all came out, and that’s when I gagged the worst. The second time, I didn’t gag as much, but the sight of it when I spit it out made me gag a bit. The third time was no problem, no gagging at all. My teeth are looking better, smoother, and maybe, t ...

Hello all, I am very new to oil pulling/swishing, but after much reading and researching, this process rang true with my spirit so I decided to try it. I ordered sunflower oil from my local vitamin/health store as they did not carry it on the shelf, actually when I went to the store, they didn’t know they could get it, I knew because I had seen it on their website, anyhoo, it came in a week later. I started oil pulling, 1 tablespoon full, on an empty stomach, good thing too, when I was through and I spit it out, I began to gag, it didn’t bother me at all while it was in my mouth, just when ...

Hello, have you gotten any better or are you still having trouble? I kept waiting for someone to respond (in hopes of getting some advice too...), I guess there were a lot of us waiting and no one responding... :) I don’t know what to tell you to use to clean yourself, I don’t douche, and I just use a liquid antibacterial soap externally (Dial I think, I like the smell of it), but something I have found that keeps the odor away is the salt-crystal deodorant, it comes in several forms, a solid stick, a spray (that’s what I use on my vaginal area) and a roll-on.

Hello everyone, has anyone here tried using those salt crystal deodorants? I don’t believe I have a big problem with body odor, but I have had problems with vaginal odors, smelling ”fishy” within an hour or so after getting dressed, it seemed worse after I would shower, not sure why. In the summer it was the worst, when I would start sweating, I would start smelling myself and I just knew that other people could smell it too... once, when I was getting into a car with my dad, I caught a whiff of myself, (fishy), my dad got in and made a comment about what was that smell?

Hello, In my experience, one teaspoon of psyllium (per day) would not do anything for me, it would not help me to eliminate any more, I found that I needed to take at least 1 TABLESPOON once or twice a day to get any results, and drinking lots of water during the day. When I am doing a colon cleanse, I take 1 tablespoon of psyllium along with 1 ounce of liquid bentonite (Sonne’s #7) at night before I went to bed, most of the time it was on an empty stomach, but sometimes it was on top of food, it didn’t seem to slow anything down. I didn’t fast, though I know that if I had fasted or at ...

I would agree with everyone else here, just do it yourself and lead by example, for the most part my husband doesn’t really ”believe” in the natural things I do either, BUT I find that he becomes more interested when I show progress, when what I am doing definately shows in my face, in my body, in my increased energy, losing weight and such. Sometimes action does speak louder than words. And if he doesn’t respond by wanting to participate, at least he can appreciate the positive difference it is making in you. :) Wretha   [End]

Hello, 5X a day does sound like a lot!

I found lots of messages about Colon Blow, I wouldn’t say it’s not popular, just maybe not talked about as much as some of the other cleanses, but it is in fact a fast cleanse, which is what Suza asked about, though it may or may not be good for first timers, that can be determined by Suza by reading what is posted here and on the Colon Blow site. It contains many of the same ingredients that are found in the other cleanses talked about here, I just went back to their site and re-read the ingredients, and yes, it contains some powerful stuff, the powder contains psyllium and stevia, the pi ...

It shouldn’t hurt at all to take it everyday, my father has been taking psyllium on a daily basis for 10+ years, he is in his 70s, and is in great health, he does have slightly higher cholesterol, but according to his doctors, he has the cleanest arteries they have ever seen for a man his age, he is very regular, goes at least once a day, most of the time he goes 2-3 times a day.

Hello, I have only heard of Colonix on this site, I have no idea of the cost as I have never used it, I have nothing against it, I just never tried it. I chose what I use because it was available to me where I shop, I had a choice between 3-4 different colon cleanse kits, and chose the one that I liked best. I also wanted specifically to try bentonite clay internally and I knew I needed to use psyllium to keep things moving, don’t want the clay to absorb toxins then not leave my body in a timely manner. I started seeing MP in about 2 weeks, I only saw it for a couple of days, I haven’t ...

I would tell you to start with the P&B shakes, it’s cheap and it works. Give it at least 2 weeks, a month is even better. Be sure to drink enough water with it and don’t over do either one of them, some people believe that if a little works, then a lot will work even better, that is not the case with this. I take 1 tablespoon of the bentonite clay (liquid) and 1 tablespoon of pure psyllium, I do it at least once a day, usually at night before I go to bed, some days I take a second dose of each, but never more than 2 doses per day. I noticed mucous (in my poop) in a week, and within 2 weeks ...

It’s simply psyllium and bentonite, the psyllium is fiber, it works like a broom to ”sweep” out your colon, and the bentonite is a clay that adsorbs (draws) and absorbs toxins, the idea is to use the bentonite to draw the toxins from your colon and the psyllium fiber keeps it moving so you can eliminate it. This is a fairly simple process, you can purchase psyllium powder and bentonite seperately in most health food stores, I use Sonne’s bentonite, it’s called ”#7”, http://www.sonnes.com/ It’s already in a liquid form, I take 1 tablespoon, twice a day, I use psyllium that my father g ...

It looks right to me, psyllium fiber (hulls and or seeds) is a natural product, and will have variations in appearance, it will not look nice and neat like a manufactured (man made-created) fiber product. Be sure to drink lots of water with it, and I wouldn’t worry about having 2-3 bm’s a day before taking this, because the reason you take fiber IS to help you have more bm’s, you would take it to counteract constipation, it should not cause constipation (unless you don’t drink enough water). A few weeks ago I started taking psyllium and bentonite, and I have been doing a colon cleans ...

Thanks for your reply aj, I also just received the same answer from Sonne’s rep, so now I feel better about telling my Dad how & when to properly take the bentonite.

My father is in his 70’s, in good health, but he does take heart medicine and blood pressure medicine (even though he doesn’t have high blood pressure). I would like to know if it’s safe for him to use bentonite clay internally, I am concerned that it may absorb or interfere with his medicines. He takes these in the morning and in the evening before bed. I realize that I will not be getting ”medical advice” here, and I realize that there are no guarantees, but any advice on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Wretha   [End]
