Many FReepers have knowledge to share about improving and maintaining health and would like to share it and learn from others; and others may not know much yet but want to learn. Some of us don't have much money for good insurance or doctors, some want to try other methods besides prescription meds, and some have experience in treating and solving health problems.
More and more "regular" doctors have accepted treatment methods such as the benefits of acupuncture, massage for many conditions, better diet, use of herbs and so on. There are limits, and often side effects, to some standard medical efforts.
My field is Ayurvedic herbalism and related measures, and have a lot of information I can post when I have time. I have seen herbs and sometimes dietary changes help people (including myself) with issues such as rheumatoid arthritis, high BP, gallstones, kidneystones, repeated boils, UTIs, prostate problems, insomnia, allergies, urinary incontinence, and many more. I hope to learn a lot from others with their knowledge and experience.
There are many "old fashioned" home care methods that were in common use a few generations ago that actually work and are cheap, such as castor oil packs, fomentations using alternating hot and cold water, and the like, which are easy to do. I am sure there is a lot of knowledge here on Free Republic that can be shared.
I would like this thread to stay civil without distruption, so my request is that people who think natural health methods are bunkum, make your own thread.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was abruptly canceled Thursday night, with ABC offering no explanation for the last-minute move.
I don’t usually wander into prognostication territory, but it’s a weekend and the news is a bit slower so posts are usually lighter in nature. Do we think the FBI agent who placed the pipe bombs on J6 was a lone crazy, or part of a larger FBI op? She’s obviously a rookie or poor agent because she failed to process that there are cameras EVERYWHERE and individuals can be identified in many ways. I have no police training but I can identify a fellow-golf club member 2 fairways over by the way they walk. I can’t see any personal details from that distance (golf bag, face), but I know who it is by their gait and mannerisms. There probably isn’t a golfer who’s been a member for 5+ years at any club who can’t do that.
I’ll place my vote now and suggest she was part of a larger op, which is why she hasn’t been “caught” before now. The op leaders have been protecting her, which makes me wonder if we’re about to hear of her “suicide”. Poor girl.
Why “Jimmy Kimmel Live” unexpectedly scrapped an episode last night to air rerun instead
EW has confirmed that Thursday’s episode was postponed due to a “personal matter” involving the host.
Oh, I see. Ha, the Natural Health thread never had slides before!
Just found Studio 6B 3 or 4 weeks ago, now watch it every night. On Real America Voice network that can be streamed from Truth+ network.
STOP WORRYING ABOUT CHOLESTEROL! Your brain is made of cholesterol. They want you sick and dementia ridden. Doctors are quacks taught by Big Pharma, they say your total cholesterol is too high. This of course is to get you on statins. Cholesterol is good, the higher the better. You should be sure your HDL is high enough that your ratio is below 5. To determine your cholesterol ratio, take your total cholesterol, and divide by your HDL. If it’s below 5, Don’t worry. I would never try anything, natural or otherwise to lower healthy cholesterol. WE ARE BRAINWASHED TO WORRY ABOUT CHOLESTEROL. It started with Eisenhower’s heart attack. The Framingham Study. Even this huge, flawed study that they used fraudulently to demonize cholesterol SHOWED HIGHER MORTALITY RATE FOR LOWER CHOLESTEROL!
There’s a study showing that Oreos lower cholesterol. Oatmeal lowers cholesterol. They’re BOTH equally unhealthy. Low cholesterol is a sign of poor health. Fatty red meat, egg yolks, saturated fat, these are all superfoods.
Insulin resistance causes arterial plaque. Sugar, carbs, grains…cholesterol is healthy. The higher, the better. RFK Jr. is going to try to mainstream this information. Those of us in Keto World have known this, but studies are beginning to sneak by the gate keepers. There’s a new study involving hyper mass responders on a keto diet and arterial plaque. It showed, even in hyper mass responders (people who’s cholesterol skyrockets on keto) that arterial plaque ACTUALLY REDUCED while on keto, with cholesterol levels way above “normal”:high numbers.
Meanwhile, if you want to be metabolically healthy, particularly as you age, get rid of the oatmeal, cereal, bread, seed oils, anything low-fat. Concentrate on high saturated fat red meat, egg yolks, all the stuff they told you was bad.
And for the love of God, STOP TAKING STATINS! Worry about your triglycerides, A1c, fasting glucose, and let the LDL and HDL fly.
I’ve been carnivore for over two years now and it’s so amazing I want to share it with everyone. I eat 10% milk fat Greek yogurt after dinner. Raw high fat dairy is healthy, that’s why the Amish go to prison for sharing it lol.
This might just be the biggest scandal and conspiracy in American history. Many heroes were involved in bringing this to light. Some we can name in coming days. Some who want no recognition. And there’s much more to this yet to be told.https://t.co/RdZxKKfnY4— Steve Baker (@SteveBakerUSA) November 8, 2025
Who is Shauni Kerkhoff?
🚨 FIVE YEARS. Still no arrest for the Jan 6 pipe bomber. Don’t tell me the FBI “can’t find” someone caught crystal clear on camera. They don’t want to. This whole thing reeks of a cover-up from inside the system. How deep does it go? pic.twitter.com/NiaPrjUu7L— ⁿᵉʷˢ Barron Trump 🇺🇸 (@BarronTNews_) November 8, 2025

I agree about the cholesterol fear.
I was thinking of putting it in my morning coffee. Would that destroy the effects?
Some posts were made accidentally on this thread, about news.
Putting which in your morning coffee? Hawthorne or one of the guggulus? If you use milk or cream in coffee, it may curdle with the Hawthorne. I would encourage using one of the guggulus for a while to bring down cholesterol.
PS - Putting a guggulu into coffee wouldn’t probably diminish effectiveness at all but might taste very icky.
