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.
I’m not a “real” migraine sufferer, but I just had a chance to try out the peppermint oil solution. I had just got home from the grocery story and was separating a massive chicken purchase into freezer-size bags when I noticed a scintillating pattern in my vision as well as some dropouts in the captions for the French movie my wife was watching.
As an experiment I applied peppermint oil around my eyes, on my forehead, and on the back of my neck. Within 10 minutes, the scintillations disappeared and I could read every letter in the captions. Coincidence?
No coincidence AZ.
I use peppermint oil frequently. I even use it with a nose tape at night. Husband asks for a nose tape and the oil now too. Clear breathing, no stuffiness.
I bought liquid cayenne and have been putting a drop or two in one of my two cups of black coffee in the morning.
Say did you see Bid Daddy’s Tiffany Blue time tonight at the rally?
And no Rolling Stones after rally ended.
Gotta mean something.
Maybe we CAN always get what we want!
Speaking of which, America's #1 success coach Jack Canfield is holding an EO-based event tomorrow, partly to announce his "Abundance Experience" lasting the month of October. He has reunited many of the cast of The Secret to give presentations about how to achieve abundance in your life, whether it be an abundance of money, time, energy, love or all of the above. (The Secret is the movie that introduced many to the Law of Attraction.) The experience will use oil blends with names like Gratitude, Motivation, Into the Future, and Magnify Your Purpose to facilitate desired change in your life.
Check it out on Zoom Friday 9/4 at 11 am Pacific:

She did not try to persuade me not to use other oils, only advised me to use real oils, not perfumed oils. I always use real oils. She is my only doctor that will acknowledge natural medicine works.
Sadly I can't use it. It helps with weight loss, but not having seizures is more important to me.
Thank you! Will definitely try to attend this this afternoon.
You mean applying it? I take CBD extract as cancer protective, no THC. I don’t notice anything but a friend makes it so I get it in trade. I figure what the heck I”ll take it.
I don’t want the THC kind because I can’t tolerate any kind of mind altering anything, can’t take opiods either.
If application of THC/CBD works for pain, that is very helpful for people to know about. I am not knowledeable about this.
Topical THC will not alter your mind. I don’t like feeling high. Using it topically won’t show up on a drug test either from what I’ve read.
I buy a combo of THC/CBD oil from a dispensary. I don’t use the creams made just for topical application. It isn’t too expensive if you buy the oil and rub it on a painful place. It works well for my muscle pain especially.
The stuff I buy is meant for oral use but it works well rubbing it on my skin. It doesn’t work as well for bone pain.
The topical oil is allowing me to postpone neck surgery.
Thanks for that info. Hopefully others will see. I’ve neglected this thread for a long time and have much I want to add and also have a list to ping.
Soon....
I can’t think of a bigger name than Jack Canfield that has come out in favor of essential oils. He is using them in his coaching work, and has basically staked his multi-multi-million dollar reputation on the effectiveness of essential oils for health and personal change.
I started a “petrochemical weight loss protocol” today. The version I’m using calls for three oils: a citrus blend, ledum, and grapefruit oil. Mix 10 drops of ledum oil into 5 mils of citrus, and apply some before bed to fatty areas. At the same time, fill a capsule with 20 drops of grapefruit oil and swallow.
Supposedly the citrus+ledum dissolves the fat and the grapefruit oil helps metabolize the fat that’s now in the bloodstream. One theory is that the body created the fat to encapsulate toxins, and that the citrus+ledum removes the toxins, allowing the fat to dissolve by itself. I actually started the prototocol this afternoon, and I noticed an interesting side effect (or coincidence)— my appetite was significantly reduced. For dinner I cooked one of my favorite foods — curry chicken — and I was satisfied with a much smaller portion than usual.
I’m applying it to my love handles (since no one has offered to use them as such) and to my mild case of pot belly. I’m 5’9” and 178 lbs to start with. I’ll update occasionally.
Husband is mostly in shape but is worried about his little pot belly. Crunchs are just not doing it they way they did when he was twenty.
One week into the “petrochemical weight loss protocol”. No weight loss and no noticeable change in my pot belly, but I swear my love handles have softened. This is a 60-day protocol, so there’s a ways to go.
There was a woman on Facebook who followed this protocol, but decided to be scientific about it. She applied the oils to one leg but not the other. Her thigh circumference decreased three inches on the oiled leg, but only on that leg. I’m going for symmetry. I’m an asymmetriphobe. ;-)
Apologies, LJ, if it seems like I have hijacked your thread, but I know you have a lot to deal with in your life these days so perhaps you won't mind.
Although I still haven't tried it myself, I've received feedback on the drug-free "morphine bomb" that I mentioned in post 794. My brother has been using it for nearly a month, and swears by it. He takes it once a day, and his neck pain is well managed with no side-effects. He said that the one day that he forgot to take it, the pain returned as it was before. His wife is also happy with her use of it. He ordered more of the ingredients today
This past weekend my mother-in-law had a pacemaker put in. Nowadays that's minor surgery, and she was out of the hospital the same day. But there's still residual pain. Tylenol didn't solve the problem and she's not allowed NSAIDs because they promote bleeding. The morphine bomb came to the rescue, and she feels much better.
Hijacked??? You’ve been carrying the weight while I’ve been awol. And now dealing with hellacious fire a few miles away. Evac level 2 for days, ash fall and smoke very heavy. Once this the fire danger is over, I have plans to post a lot on this thread. Nice change of place from “news”!
I have a whole ping list that I can freepmail you. A lot were interested.
This fat loss thing is interesting!! i will have to read up. I gained weight for no reason after I got heavily poisoned with diazanon years ago. Had a horrible miscarriage (I was 3 months) and within about 1 1/2 years developed RA, asthma and MCS and some weird heart issues, plus inexplicable weight gain.
Thank you!!
Happy to hear that your MIL’s procedure went speedy and well.
And, thanks for your brother’s ‘testimony’. Glad he’s doing well, too!
Keeping this recipe on file, for sure.
My next experiment is for toenail fungus. My disabled brother-in-law, who lives with my MIL, has had toenail fungus and ingrown toenails for many years. I’m going to try an EO blend to see what happens. Many EOs are reputed to work, probably because essential oils are what plants use to fend off fungal infections themselves.
The conventional medical treatment is an antifungal medication that often fails, and is also very hard on the liver. I’m looking forward to seeing whether EOs do the trick.
It’s kind of fun figuring out different ways I can help people with essential oils. I’m sure LJ has had a similar experience on a much broader scale. It reminds me of my mother. She learned about trigger point therapy to help my dad with some muscle pain problems, and then started helping many of her friends. It gave her a lot of pleasure to provide help that the medical community was clueless about.
Googling petrochemical weight loss protocol will get you started. There's an interesting explanation here of how it works. Since that requires Facebook (which some here do not use), you'll find some of the (long) text below:
There is no dieting, no juicing, no exercising, nothing is required for the Petrochemical Weight Loss Protocol to work. Remember, we are only targeting petrochemicals. We aren’t doing a detox. We aren’t doing a cleanse. We are simply letting the essential oils do a specific job: digesting the fat cells that are holding the petrochemicals.In my earlier message I said 60 days, but it's actually only six weeks. I only have 33 more days to go!Petrochemicals are not breaking free from your fat cells and traveling around your body. They are victims of digestion and don’t even exist anymore.
It is pretty amazing that your body is so smart that what it does is to protect you by encapsulating the petrochemicals in fat cells to keep them away from your brain and heart.
Some of the benefits reported from doing this protocol include inches lost, drop clothing sizes, dissolving fatty tumors, improving skin conditions, psoriasis, clearer complexion, better ability to think, memory is more clear, reduced brain fog, and sleeping better.
How do I do the protocol?
There are two parts to the protocol. The first breaks up the fat and the second digests what is broken up.
- One (1) 15 ml bottle of Citrus Fresh essential oil blend (1 bottle per week)
- One (1) 5 ml bottle of Ledum essential oil (1 bottle has 85 drops - you only use 10 per week)
- One (1) 15 ml bottle of Grapefruit essential oil (1 bottle per week)
- One (1) bag of 00 vegetable capsules (1 capsule each night)
Part One: Open up your 15 ml bottle of Citrus Fresh, remove your orifice reducer and put 10 drops of Ledum directly into the bottle. Put the orifice reducer back on or install a roller ball if you have one (this is what I’m planning to do). At bedtime, EVENLY apply the Citrus Fresh/Ledum mixture to the areas you want to focus on and smooth into your skin.
Part Two: Put 15-18 drops of Grapefruit oil into a capsule, swallow it, then go to bed. Saturating the cells with grapefruit oil is key so do not dilute and do not take less than 15 drops.
Generously cover your target areas (like your belly, hips, thighs, etc). Apply generously and evenly. Dot all across areas and then rub with your hand to even out the oil. If not rubbed out evenly you could have more cellulite left on one side and not the other. It is good to do the breasts as well. It is shocking how much can be stored in the fatty tissue in the breasts. But do not apply to your breasts unless you want to reduce your breast size, it will decrease your breast size.
Apply this mixture morning and night; along with the Grapefruit oil in capsules for up to 6 weeks. For the Grapefruit oil, you only need 15-18 drops in the capsules. The Grapefruit oil in the capsules is used to digest what the other oils broke up when put on topically.
This is a one time protocol. It’s so powerful that it is a once in a lifetime protocol! So take it seriously! You will never have as drastic results as the first time you do this. You can use the protocol to digest the petrochemicals that you accumulate daily, to maintain healthy levels. You can do this protocol 1 – 2 times per week for the rest of your life if desired.
Citrus Fruits/Oils are phototoxic. When you go out into sun you can get age spots and burning. So don’t go into direct sunlight within 12 hours of applying the oils. This includes tanning beds and nail salon UV lights. [This is why you do this at bedtime -- AZLiberty]
