I get this. Oddly enough, I read somewhere that it might be carpal tunnel related. I’m not sure if it is deferring the pain to the forearm. This odd sort of carpal tunnel pain can also go to the upper arm, which it does for me. So, I started using a wrist brace when I sleep when I am getting that pain. After doing it a few days, the pain is gone (I did notice improvement the first day). I figure when I sleep I tend to bend my wrists too much, putting strain on the carpal tunnel.   [End]

I am not sure colloidal silver would help with fatty liver disease itself. But if there is an underlying infection, maybe it might help fight the infection and in that way take some burden off of the liver. If I remember right from when my cat had fatty liver disease, the vet told me it was important to make sure she was still eating and drinking. A drastic drop in food intake (like if the cat stopped eating because it was sick or depressed) can be a shock to the liver and with a fatty liver can cause the liver to stop working.

Hi, I see that your post was a long time ago, but perhaps you still check here. Much of your symptoms suggest celiac disease, or at the minimum gluten intolerant.

If it is food allergy or intolerance, it may be gluten or celiac disease. People with gluten problems can have severe stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation.

Much of what you say sounds like celiac disease, or at the minimum gluten intolerance. Try omitting all gluten (wheat, barley, rye), and be STRICT about it. See how you feel.

Re: the defensiveness It’s because we respect Trapper so much :) It’s hard for some of us to disagree with people we respect. I admit, I AM often hesitant to disagree with the folks on these forums whom I respect as the experts, because I DO value their input. I struggled with whether to say anything again, but decided it needed out. And saying something helped me see where I was fuzzy on some things. I had to remind myself, Trapper DOES himself respect the input from others even if some if it doesn’t 100% mesh with his own perspective. We LOVE you, Trapper! He’s like the poppa or bi ...

Makes me wonder now if what people are cleansing out with the cream of tartar is NOT the nicotine, but any of the kazillion other additives. I wonder if that smell in the urine or sweat from ex-smokers who do detox cleanses in general is NOT the nicotine but the additives that they’d become used to associating as the ”cigarette smell.” I don’t believe nicotine itself is bad. And as Trapper has pointed out, it does have healthy benefits. It really must be the additives that make me so ill. Trapper, you asked how I knew it wasn’t psychological. As I mentioned above, without even knowing s ...

I’ve been reading further through the pet forum, and someone suggested slicing up one lemon very thin, then put in water that had been brought to a boil, steep overnight. Then sponge the dog with the lemon liquid.   [End]

I do have to very respectfully disagree with you on the second-hand smoke. This is the rare occasion I don’t agree with you. If it weren’t bad, then why do I get so violently ill around it? It’s not a psychological reaction. Yes, automobile exhausts are bad, and I get sick from them also, but the cigarette smoke makes me even more ill, or at least it’s an immediate violent illness, and it lasts several days after exposure for me. I think there is a big difference between what you are smoking, which is totally natural and I doubt would make me sick, and that which my father and most of t ...

Sprinkle your carpets with Borax (20 Mule Team). Let sit for at least 30 minutes (longer, even a few days is better). Then vacuum up. Repeat weekly until you are pretty sure you don’t have fleas in the carpet or furniture any more. This should also kill other critters like dust mites. Use a flea comb on the dog. You can also bathe the dog in Borax, but you’ll want to rinse well afterward. If you can, twice a year (spring and fall), sprinkle your yard with the Borax. Do it when you know you’re not going to have any rain for a while. My indoor cats don’t tolerate the commercial flea ...

Does anyone know if nicotine can hang around the body for years if you’ve been exposed to second-hand cigarette smoke? I know with smokers it can, because I’ve seen plenty of folks at Cure Zone doing cleanses who have stopped smoking for years, but once they do some cleanses they smell the ”cigarette” smell in their urine and sweat. I was wondering because when I was a child my dad smoked heavily (and still does at age 85). It made me feel horribly ill, and still does if I go to visit him or wind up sitting/standing near someone who is smoking. Yes, smokers have a right to their cigare ...

Hmmm ... maybe we can sell oil packets as tooth whitening agents, make a big profit. ”Just swish and go! Can be done during your morning work commute. No one will know you’re using our miracle product to whiten your teeth!” *slap* Bad me. Really, though, people will ”buy” anything if it’s marketed right. Oil pulling WORKS, but people like that will never do it unless it’s got a ”glossy” marketing package like those wacky products. On a serious side though, it would be nice having little ketchup sized to-go packets of coconut oil available for packing away in a purse or wallet, ...

You CAN do iodine in the eyes, it just has to be very dilute. Mainstream doctors do use povidone iodine in the eyes ... Just for example see this one site (you can google many more sites about using iodine in the eyes): http://www.cehjournal.org/0953-6833/16/jceh_16_46_030.html I myself have tried some in my eyes by diluting into eye drop solution, what I tried was about 1 drop in maybe a tablespoon of the saline eye solution (what I had was Lugol’s 5%, so really needed diluted). It definitely stings, but did me no harm. I used one of those individual eye solution droppers (the ones ...

Sorry, I don’t know how to embed videos. I came across this Eye Yoga video with Paul McCartney on YouTube, but the one that was posted there that I was trying to access would never fully load, so I found another website that had a working one: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Sir-Paul-McCartney-Does-Eye-Yoga-104821.shtml Even if you don’t do the eye exercises, it IS fun to watch Paul McCartney cross his eyes and such.

I was perusing Cure Zone last week Monday and came across a brief mention in an old archive about EFT Therapy. I decided to go head and download the eBook, ”The EFT Manual,” by Gary Craig, and give it a try. I really don’t know if it is the positive affirmations from the EFT, or the fact that I’ve been massaging the ”sore spots”, but since starting EFT last week, after three days I’m the most pain free I’ve been in years AND I feel more rested. And LOTS more energy. The EFT may sound quacky to some, those of you who don’t believe in ”energy flows” and chakras and accupressure and such, ...

I just went to the Conservation Department’s website, to try to look up ordering information for the book and saw they have it there available in PDF by ”chapter” (they’re not exactly chapters, but short sections about each type of plant). FREE http://mdc4.mdc.mo.gov/applications/MDCLibrary/MDCLibrary2.aspx?NodeID=1996 But still, I like having the book in hand. It’s nice to be able to take it out on a hike. It does have color drawings of some of the plants about two-thirds into the book, but there is a sketch line-drawing throughout the book as it presents each plant.   [End]

As promised, here are a few ”weed” recipes. These are NOT the ones I was remembering from a week cookbook I had—I’m still looking for that cookbook after my husband did some rearranging of our bedroom and my bookcases. But, my son has a copy of ”Wild Edibles of Missouri” by Jan Phillips (published by the Missouri Department of Conservation, if you want to order a copy) that I’ve just now looked through and am very fascinated ... all sorts of uses for the wild things! I’m just randomly selecting a few. I have not tried any of these recipes. If you want more, order the book. However, when ...

Have you read this? Does it really work? I’m just curious ... It could be useful to know if you’re in a bind where you aren’t able to buy batteries or have a CS generator to plug in an outlet (like if you’re camping and in emergency need of CS and you busted or lost your bottle of CS but have silver and iodine on hand).

I oil pulled for 5 1/2 hours straight once, while on a long drive from one state to another. Never had any adverse reactions from it, though the large paper cup I was using to spit in during the drive was really gross by the time I finished my trip. And I’ve done several back-to-back sessions, as has Trapper. Trapper has said something about getting a sense of euphoria after 5 back-to-back sessions.   [End]

Chew a fresh leaf of bee balm or mint or parsley! Indians used to chew on a sprig of parsley after a meal for fresh breath and for digestion. Bee balm is a natural antiseptic, is very high in vit. C and thymerisol (sp?), which is one of the main ingredients in mouthwash. I just found bee balm out in our garden (very odd looking but pretty flowers) and shocked a friend by picking up a bloom from a bouquet in a vase and started munching on a leaf (I put on a very cow-like look as I did it for a laugh). They taste minty with a hint of sage. Quite pleasant! When I move away in a couple yea ...

Also, there may be external things that may be keeping you awake (like subtle sounds and lights that you may not realize are there, but are bothering you). Try wearing a face mask over the eyes and ear plugs. Most face masks I’ve come across aren’t comfortable and let in too much light at the cheekbones or by the nose. The most comfortable I’ve come across that does keep out the light are the ones put out by Tempurpedic. I get way too much light in the bedroom when I try to sleep from the streetlights glowing through the windows, to the little glowing light on the TV (I guess it’s on f ...

I have also used the Jeffrey Thomas CDs (had some since last century :) ), and the definitely help me to fall asleep, especially if my mind is over busy at bed time. But sadly they don’t fix my sleep disorder, which is still mainly undiagnosable by the sleep doctors. I do use them if I am having problems falling asleep; it’s just in my particular case they don’t help my sleep quality (I’m a rarity with my sleep disorder, so don’t base whether you try them or not on the fact they didn’t help my disorder). The brainwave entrainment CDs are definitely good, in my opinion, if you have insomnia ...

I’ll let you know when I find it. I tried to quickly locate it when I went home at lunch, but didn’t see it. My husband rearranged the bedroom last week when I was out of town and to move the bookcases had to take out the books, so not everything is where I last placed it. Yep, I definitely recall the book saying dandelion coffee tasted like chickory! I had gotten the weed cookbook several years ago when I worked for a national magazine as an editor and was assigned as food editor and book review editor also, so I received all sorts of unusual cookbooks and recipes sent to me.

I used to have several recipes for dandelions, but I’m not sure where I put them at the moment. I do have a ”weeds” cookbook, so maybe that’s where the recipes are. I’ll try to remember to look them up over the weekend. From what I can recall, here’s a couple ways to prepare (besides wine and salad) that some folks may not realize: • Bread the blooms with a dusting of seasoned flour and fry them. The blooms are VERY high in vitamin C. They’re supposed to be very tasty this way (you can do the same with day lily buds). • Dry and grind the roots for making dandelion coffee. I’m not a c ...

In addition to working with elimination and water, and the rebounding, you could try dry brushing (especially the problem lymph area). I do both, but I’m bad and am not regular about it. I definitely notice a difference even as quickly as 5 minutes after. Five minutes after I dry brush, I feel a sore and itchy feeling inside my throat like when I’ve been exposed to airborne irritants. When I dry brush, the last thing I’m brushing are the lymph glands under the jaw line, so I’m not sure if it’s the body-wide lymph that gets the throat irritation or if it’s an immediate effect from dry dry ...

I’ve had that problem, and am off and on still fighting it. It definitely sounds like acid reflux. Question is what is causing it. Reflux can be caused by a kazillion things—like to name just a few ulcer, sleep apnea, sleep position, hernia, thyroid issue, stress, chiropractic issues, gallstones, hormone imbalance, allergies or sensitivities, an imbalance in digestive enzymes, and so on and so on. Complicating it even more, any of those causes could be caused by something else (like thyroid issues may be caused by being deficient in iodine). It’s a vicious circle! Definitely, as sug ...
