Yes. Tinctures are potent extractions of the medincinal properties found in plants. While you can occassionally obtain them on the internet or other sources, you should get them from someone that is...
i personally am not taking them anymore. I am salicylate sensitive, and salicylates are in all plants. But, the combination of BW formulas and the other supplements, while I was taking them, made me...
Yup. Coconuts too. The body absorbs oil easier transdermally than in the gut when you eat it. But i need to use *something* otherwise im out of work. So mineral oil it is! I totally know how you feel...
I have. They focus on specialty products. I found an internet vendor at one point, but i dont feel comfortable buying food online and also paying shipping. So, ive been just going without....
i found a pharmaceutical grade mineral oil. Unfortunately it might be my only feasible choice, unless I used lard. yikes! And Lanolin is WAY too thick. The mineral oil is a bit stickier than baby oil...
not anywhere I can find them. Yes, lentils themselves are gluten free. But most of the lentils in the US are packaged in the same facility, and they also process wheat kernels in that facility. Every...
raw runner.... you are lucky that you can tolerate that much of a detox. I desperately want to learn lymph drainage, but I've become allergic to plants, and oils are pretty much made from plants....
sweet, thanks!...
yoga is good! so is tai chi and chi gong. :-)...
try acupuncture. I highly recommend it!...
Yes, massage can help spread any infection that can get into the blood or lymph, such as lyme. So.... if you are coming down with a cold. Don't get a massage. It will bring it on faster and much...
feel free to ask questions. I'm open. :-) There are a LOT of different massage and energy work modalities....
yes, lymph massage is very light. It is not always done with oil. It is designed to stimulate the immune system and lymph system. But if you have an infection (ie: lyme), it will help spread the...
Massage will absolutely make you worse. I am a massage therapist and massage stimulates the circulatory, lymph and immune system and encourages detox. If you already have a critical amount of toxins,...
Fortunately we have each other here! I am completely isolated in the "real world" but have built several complex social circles on the web. I moderate another forum, run my own website, blog and...
Sweet! This is exactly what I needed to know. I've been wondering about methylation and afraid to dive into the subject alone. thanks Razzle!! I'm going to add this to the list of I have been...
thank you for sharing about Meds RX in so.cal. I've been having a major problem finding "safe" meds for the past year....
ohhhh.... thank you so much Razzle. You are so helpful! :-)...
Im up to my ears in trying figure out/learn all the stuff about sulphites and the sulfation pathway! What does sulphites have to do with killing spirochetes??? Seeing that i recently had to removed...
Its a website unrelated to lyme. http://mizar5.com/keyes.html "Glycerin Glycerin has an antibacterial potential, which is not well recognized. When living bacterial dental plaque is examined with a...
Has anyone heard of using glycerin as a way to fight lyme? I was searching for alternatives to toothpaste and stumbled upon glycerin, which apparently has a strong antimicrobial effect, including on...
I have problems with nausea that prevents me from eating. Most of my problems have been coming from an increased number of food sensitivities and intolerances....
.... would explain a lot about me! But at the same time, Bartonella has definitely not helped reduce my autoimmune diseases. I wish. Fascinating article!...
YEah, I had the same problem trying to take all my meds and supplements all spaced out throughout the day. It was a full time job just keeping track! Good Luck!...
Thank you everyone. 24 hours later, I am still in quite a lot of pain. I am completely baffled at what caused this because I didn't do anything differently than I normally do. Mamyou.... I'm in San...
We have recently had several topics/threads started on a-bart and a-bab. I was taking it and it was like a miracle for me. I just put the drops directly in my mouth instead of putting them in water....
Yeah, I'm convinced it is contagious. It is like syphilis and is an STI. I gave it to my ex-boyfriend too!...
I get the same thing.... but only when my lyme is getting worse or relapsing. Focusing on something intently minimizes it. Otherwise I feel disconnected. When it is really bad I feel lost outside of...
Well... just got back from my first ER visit. One of the things my lyme & co has caused is severe multiple chemical sensitivities. Thursday morning I was exposed to stuff that I am allergic to. I had...
to look forward...
I definitely underestimate the power of play all the time. Thank you for sharing!...
I'll send you an email....
unfortunately the only ones I know of are in san diego. good luck!...
Corn is one of many grains, so grain alcohol could be either corn based or wheat based (or any other grain.... but corn and wheat are the most common). Ethanol is the most common grain alcohol used...
I have low sodium/potassium problems. At one point I was drinking salt water, eating salt out of my hand, and supplementing with a magnesium/potassium/calcium pill every day. It felt like I wasn't...
very well said traveler..... you answered several questions even I have had for the past few months while on this forum....
you sound JUST LIKE ME! I have been struggling with this for 10 years and slowly declining. My steady improvements towards better health (better diet, avoiding gluten and other food allergens,...
Traveler: i can't afford to see my naturopath or acupuncturist anymore. They both raised their rates. Razzle: I will check that out. Thank you!...
I can't take pharmaceuticals because they add dairy, soy, wheat and corn to their formulas. So, I've been taking more natural stuff. I was a tincture of venus fly trap, which I LOVED, but it had...
I've discovered in the past couple of weeks that I am extremely sensitive to several foods and chemicals and this has forced me to stop taking my meds for Babesia. On one hand, I feel better (like...
congrats!...
this is just horrible. lyme has been documented in ticks and bugs in every country of the world, and LD is an STD. Of course it is an epidemic....
I've been struggling with lyme for 10 years. I'm finding that Swedish is about the limit of my detox abilities. I have not tried lymphatic, but i would imagine it would be too much given the amount...
I am a current massage therapy student at Mueller College. What kind of info/suggestions are you looking for? There are a lot of different kinds ranging from relaxing to therapeutic, to being able to...
I'm the same. I have the celiac gene, but bloodwork came back negative. Celiac specialist says there is no point in a biospy because I am so sensitive to gluten, it can't be anything other than...
yay! i'm studying Chinese medicine at massage school right now because massage therapists often have to work with acupuncturists, so we need to know basics. I've learned a few dozen acu-points and...
I know this is a bit off topic.... but I was watching a 20/20 special the other day on natural childbirth. They were saying some 20% of natural births are ecstatically pleasurable, with orgasm after...
I would love to hear some happy ending stories. At the same time... I feel so suspicious (or angry!) when someone says, "Oh, yeah... my friend got bit, and the doctor gave him/her antibiotics, and it...
Looks helpful. Except I don't know my blood type. Plus, being on a salicylate free diet restricts me from being able to eat most of any of that!...
whats wrong with magnesium stearate?...
