Hey all! I could use some advice. As some of you know, I have been fighting some health issues for quite some time. I have been to more doctors and specialists then my memory can hold and take so many pills that I am called the Department Pharmacy at work.
I have come to you - oh great and all knowing people of healthy stuff, for advice. Zip and Chris know that I have a few permanent conditions that I don't want to share, but I have some really odd non-related stuff as well.
1. The corners of my mouth crack and bleed for no reason. My son says it scares him because he is afraid that it means that my mouth is getting bigger. Anyways, I have seen multiple causes for this - but no real cures. Are there any vitamins that I should be taking to help at least prevent this?
2. I have NO energy, I am nearly always half asleep no matter how much I drink cofee.
3. I have no apetite. A few of my meds cause this - but is there something out there that I can take to stimulate my apetite?
4. My immune system sucks eggs - this is due to a few meds too - but is there anything *natural* that I should take to try to boost it?
And on a side note - pay no attention to Zip when she starts yelling at me to go to the doctor - I hate going to the doctors.
;0)
Thanks for any ideas you offer!

#58. To: who knows what evil, innieway (#53)
Same here. I gave an answer above in #40.

Only? Man - that's a bunch of miles - way to go.
The three essential oils everyone should have: Lavender (for ALL skin problems) Peppermint (digestion problems) lemon.

Plenty of black walnuts out here. Maybe I will try this, but I try to avoid alcohol if possible. Never know what it might flush out. ;0)

Geez...I was about to ask you what advice you might have for failing eyesight and short-term memory issues. :-)
Here Jim.
also i recommend a high potent Vit C.
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
Do either of you have a preferred source for oils, or do you just pick it up at the local health shop?
Toxicity could also be a factor since we are all full of poisons created by the chemical companies and also the chemicals used in agriculture and in the foods we eat. The problem of a healthy diet goes back again to the lack of good farming practices. The chemical paradigm is the worst thing to happen to agriculture. BINGO!!!!!! I don't think there is anything in a commercial grocery store that is fit for human consumption!!! No matter how much work is involved, the best thing to do is grow your own garden, and do it organically!! And I can't stress enough the importance of GOOD water. Forget the bottled stuff, it's subject to have the flouride and crap in it too. You may as well drink straight tap water if you're gonna pay for the bottled stuff. I highly recommend a Berkey!! Since I started using a Berkey, I've found that it's the only thing that truly quenches my thirst!!
Some people are like slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, except to put a smile on your face when you push them down stairs.
I just pick them up at the local organic foods store. Coconut oil (sweet, and great for cooking) Extra-virgin olive oil Cod liver oil (sorry, but it all tastes awful).

I really like Firefox too. It takes a little longer to initially load, but once it does it blisters along a lot faster than IE.

Yep, I just read that. Thanks. I worked for a global pharmaceutical co. here in the NE, and I investigated adverse effects people had while on our meds. My report was sent to the FDA for review, etc. Needless to say, for every produce put out there, including many OTCs, comes a bundle of side effects. Anything natural is the way to go.
I dunno.... Guess either moving closer up or further back (depending), and paying attention:) I'll have to give it a try and see if it helps.

I just put one up too. Check the shipping? IIRC, my site didn't charge to ship.
there's a lot of great advice on this thread, and a couple really good links too. I agree with Arator, Whoknowswhatevil, lodwick & innieway. and Ferret is too slim and strong for his age - I'm going to alert Sheriff Joe and he's going to send some people up to Oregon to stop him from making me look bad. Obviously though if the drugs are treating existing conditions that have to be dealt with you might not be able to just get off them. but it might be worth considering getting rid of some of them at least. all of them if possible. I'd recommend eliminating coffee if you drink a lot of it. Coffee in excess can be really bad. Lots of coffee causes dehydration which is very bad for your health. Drink lots of water - water therapy treats any condition and prevents health problems. Green tea is a good substitute to coffee. In the morning I put some green tea bags in water and nuke it in microwave, then I dump lots of ice in for iced tea. It is much better than coffee. change up your diet - eat as much as possible things that actually grow from the earth with no processing at all. and drink lots of water.

I have a big ol black walnut tree right outside my back door, and it's always loaded... The vodka is used in many herbal remedies, as it soaks the desired "goodie" out of the base ingredient. And this tiny amount of alcohol you'll be ingesting won't hurt. In fact, you sure won't taste the vodka... You can soak garlic cloves in vodka for about an hour and taste the vodka - it'll taste like garlic oil.

My source for coconut goodies. (Thanx and a 'hat tip' to Dr. Mercola.)
Is this for detox, as well? I try to get plenty of garlic into my diet, but I am not familiar with this...
Thanks, it isn't really that many on a good bike at speed. I'll do a fast 30 in the morning three times a week and tomorrow is usually my 60 miler to Cottage Grove doing the hilly route there and the flatter one along I-5 back. Tuesday and Thursday I ride with the club in the fast group made up mostly of ex racers like me and we do 40-50 mile routes depending on the group consensus. I ride for transportation and that usually adds up pretty fast as Eugene has gotten spread out and though we have a better bike path system then almost anywhere else in the United States a ride to Lane Community College round trip is around 18 miles if I do the short route with the hill. I have several top quality bikes, but my favorite kitten is a Ferrari red Cinelli with Campagnolo Chorus components that cost me about 3000.00. Italian race bikes are the royalty of race bikes, and Masi and Cinelli are the creme de la creme of that country's manufacturers. I consider it a part of my body, I am naked if I don't have a bicycle with me. It is a 1988 which is heavier with only eight cogs in the back, but people with newer, lighter bikes (which I also have) flag me down to get a moment enjoyment of ogling my sweet piece of Italian eye candy. That particular design of bike has been made by Cinelli since the 1930s. They stopped making them a few years ago when they introduced the current modern design, but the outcry of anguish and rage was so incredible, Cinelli apologized and now you can buy the frame again for a mere 1300 dollars. The lugs and bottom bracket (crank housing) are castings, and it takes many man hours to get an even gage throughout the lug/BB to get the right heat distribution to get a superior brazing job. The tubing is chamfered and mitered so tightly you can't get rice paper between the tube when held together before final manufacture. Ounce for ounce a Rolls Royce has nothing on my sweetheart.
Thank you for the 'zyme linkage (I paid way too much last time).
Is the green tea doing any good if you're causing more harm than good with a "nuker"??? We use the term "nuke" when talking about microwave ovens kinda loosely, but maybe we should take it more seriously!! After the World War II, the Russians experimented with microwave ovens. From 1957 up to recently, their research has been carried out mainly at the Institute of Radio Technology at Klinsk, Byelorussia. According to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of the results of Russian and German research - and was apparently prosecuted for doing so (J. Nat. Sci, 1998; 1:42-3) - the following effects were observed by Russian forensic teams: 1. Heating prepared meats in a microwave sufficiently for human consumption created: * d-Nitrosodiethanolamine (a well-known cancer-causing agent) * Destabilization of active protein biomolecular compounds * Creation of a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere * Creation of cancer-causing agents within protein-hydrosylate compounds in milk and cereal grains; 2. Microwave emissions also caused alteration in the catabolic (breakdown) behavior of glucoside - and galactoside - elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this way; 3. Microwaves altered catabolic behavior of plant-alkaloids when raw, cooked or frozen vegetables were exposed for even very short periods; 4. Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, especially in raw root vegetables; 5. Ingestion of micro-waved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells in blood; 6. Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occurred in the lymphatic system, causing degeneration of the immune system=s capacity to protect itself against cancerous growth; 7. The unstable catabolism of micro-waved foods altered their elemental food substances, leading to disorders in the digestive system; 8. Those ingesting micro-waved foods showed a statistically higher incidence of stomach and intestinal cancers, plus a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues with a gradual breakdown of digestive and excretory system function; 9. Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritional value of all foods studied, particularly: * A decrease in the bioavailability of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotrophics * Destruction of the nutritional value of nucleoproteins in meats * Lowering of the metabolic activity of alkaloids, glucosides, galactosides and nitrilosides (all basic plant substances in fruits and vegetables) * Marked acceleration of structural disintegration in all foods. I don't own one, and wouldn't have one in my house... And many restaurants use them, which is another reason why I'm not particularly fond of eating out.

That's a good reminder. I never liked them, but they have a way of slowly creeping into our lives like teflon. Just say no!
Like I was saying, vodka is used in the making of a lot of tinctures in home remedies... It soaks the oils and other "goodies" right out of the herb or whatever, and makes it into a "concentrate". Use just enough vodka to barely cover the herb or whatever, and let it stand for several weeks... I was merely pointing out how quickly it begins to work in that in only an hour all you can taste is the garlic. To make it medicinally potent, it's best to let it "cure" for several weeks. Then it's usually strained, and the vodka/oil is what is used.

It's available on store shelves here due to our proximity to Asheville, and wasn't sure it would be available elsewhere. Good to see a great chain like Whole Foods carrying this line of salts.
I just learned about essential oils this year from listening to guests on http://www.thepowerhour.com - most I purchase locally, but the Juice of Oregano and Oregano Oil with P-73, I shop it on the web; the maker is North American Herb & Spice. (What a horribly constructed sentence)
...but a healthy one, and that's what counts!
Yikes. I guess like any other product, there is the creme de la creme out there. Be careful out there.
Here's an interesting herbal resource site.
Mine is 47.. I always have to tell the docs to expect it.. that its normal for me..
That's pretty mellow...
I can also send you to a site later for a nutritional drink that is having great results. And I can turn you on to a good cleansing substance made from a zeolite mineral. The substance grabs toxins and flushes them out of your system. And, unlike using chelation therapy, this zeolite will not remove calcium or other beneficial minerals, which have to be replaced. i want this info too please.
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
Very.. but my personality doesnt reflect it ;P
A coffee enema?? Gad!
i want this info too please. I'd appreciate the information, also.
The lady that manages the local 'Vitamin Shoppe' franchise used coffee enemas as part of the protocol she used to reverse ovarian cancer. Might be a good time of year to try it out with all those holiday blends hitting the market. (Bad...bad.)
Ditto...he sent me some great info a few months ago.
Heh, that is a low price too. You can spend 5000 to 7000 dollars on a bicycle. I want a Maverick American ML7 which will be in that price range to build up (the frames are over 2000 alone) and it is the finest mountain bike ever designed and manufactured. http://www.maverickamerican.com/ Being a road racer and tourist all my life I have never ever owned a suspension framed machine. That will be my first. It is an American design, and no suspension bicycle has ever been designed so well, though other manufacturers have been paying to use their innovative designs. As for being careful, why th heck do you think I relocated back to Eugene from Portland, Oregon in the first place? ;-) Ten percent of people in Eugene go to work on bicycles and bicycles are more common here then anywhere else I've been to in the United States. We have more bike shops then the Portland and Portland is a huge bike center too. The thing I hate about Portland is that the growth of bicycling has exploded so much in PDX, there is a war between cars and bikes right now. It can be dangerous up there. In one incident I had a large old American car try to hit me deliberately twice, the second time a passenger tried to open the door on me because they didn't like my California stop on the designated bike route I was on. I was on a quality mountain bike and hopped the curb, rode up the sloping lawn of the house there and did a fast reverse and dented a tail-light fin with my numb-chucks which hook together and look like a bicycle pump. I got three dents in before they gave up and quit the field of battle. I am no one to fuck with. If someone thinks I am an easy target on a bicycle, they are a fool. In any event, I prefer safer Eugene to Portland as it is already too much extra weight to have to carry a quality set of locks, never mind the ordinance I was carrying up there.
wow, great information, innie. where do you get black walnut hulls?
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
do you do these essential oils orally?
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...

Fill a pint jar half-full with black walnut hulls, and pour just enough vodka over them to cover them. Let this sit for 3 weeks, and then take 1 tablespoonful daily. (Caution - this is gonna taste nasty!!!)

the problem lies in nutrition (our food lacks nutrition because the soils are depleted of humus and excessive use of fertilizers and ag chemicals) and taking proper supplements.

A good liver cleansing will also help. Some use a coffee enema in extreme cases, but I think you might try Alpha Lipoic Acid and Milk Thistle extract. Both have been shown to be liver cleansing and regenerative substances.
