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.

Added you.

What is Beta-sitosterol?

I have chronic lower back pain due to old injuries and very hard work.

What helps me is stretching, especially yoga stretches.

[little jeremiah]

You’re on.

[little jeremiah]

I will post on Thursday since tomorrow I’m too busy. Freepmail me if I don’t.

[ConjunctionJunction]

I would be interested in your herb formula, too, please.

[little jeremiah]

Sorry, I though you were on the list, I’ll add you.

[little jeremiah]

Hmm, I just checked and you are on the list. Maybe check your ping page again?

[little jeremiah]

I went to Earth Clinic and bookmarked it. Looks interesting.

Thanks for the ping. Looking forward to reading through this.

I have a couple of useful tales to tell also. I’ll have to catch up tomorrow or the next day.

[little jeremiah]

I will post it on Thursday.

I make many herb remedies, and also essential oil blends, for various conditions. I also make cough syrup, salves, and a few tinctures. I am willing to share all my methods and ingredients.

Last year I got shingles for the first (and hopefully last) time and by the time I went to the doctor (she’s a naturopath) to verify it was shingles, it was too late to take the antiviral. But the went away in about 3 weeks and she was surprise how quickly they resolved. I made up an antiviral herb formula and also applied an antiviral tincture and they seemed to help.

[little jeremiah]

I think it may be helpful to hear peoples’ stories. I hope to hear about warts too. Still working on one.

L-citrulline is metabolized into L-Arginine by the body.

L-arginine promotes creation of nitric oxide, and vasodilation. Both good things.

[greeneyes]

Skin Tags too-my current research topic. LOL

[grey_whiskers]

I take curcumin. Unfortunately I just ordered a new bottle.
When it runs out, I will seek out your product.

Thanks !

Looks like Turmeric Forte is only available through chiropractors.....unless I’ve missed something on my search.

Do you have a direct source? TIA.

Long story short: Every ‘diet’ is literally a 4-letter word. People need to get back to basics and stop looking for the single point fix, easy cure, magic pill/powder/elixir and engage a condition to let the body heal.

Keto is harmful and so-called ‘paleo’ is simply natural eating. Most people doing gluten-free have no medical need for it and are masking an underlying serious condition which will only worsen in more ways than one. Nearly all restaurants are garbage and people need to return to making foods at home with local, organic and unadulterated ingredients. Natural fats - including leaf lard - are necessary components of human health. Veganism will end up killing most people and the cure for what ails most people is simply standing up to the person you see in the mirror.

I reversed an unknown, nearly 40 year-old condition I had yet achieved my worst state of health ‘eating clean & healthy’. It’s true. My body is still healing, I’m still writing the collection of 4 books governing all aspects of health and yet this list of reversed symptoms makes most people yawn. FReepmail me if you’re interested when my books actually get published; the core concept (top secret) will blow your mind.

And by the way, I’m not selling anything and do not recommend 99.999% of supplements out there.

As well, statistically, nearly 80% of you FReepers are being poisoned by your municipal drinking water (for those of you on city water). The rest of you are aggravating your health with your water...the principal content of one of my books (which started out merely as a chapter).

I am in the fortunate minority who not only reversed a severe, decades-long health decline, but knows why (my tenacity for understanding puzzles is the sole reason); I’m hoping to help others, but 1-in-100 actually cares, so this is all the effort and all the detail I’m sharing. It’s impossible to paraphrase 250,000 words and over 1000 references. The American health problem is complex, yet rather academic once a person understands the antagonists.

Be well. One more thing: Nearly all omega-3 supplements are adulterated or rancid. Eat fish, but avoid Pacific Ocean fish (you know why, even though many here will deny it). There are many sources of natural omega-3, including pork; do your research.

Reversed symptoms (incomplete):

-50 pounds of excess body fat (which was increasing an average of a pound a day at my worst health with no change in diet or activity),

The NSAIDs (asperin, advil, ibuprofen) we think caused an allergic skin rash after long use.

I have a skin rash every week or so...was taking baby aspirin...will now stop.

The FDA just announced:

Story at-a-glance

The FDA recently reversed its position on taking daily aspirin if you haven’t had a heart attack, concluding that the risks outweigh the benefits
Scientific studies have failed to prove that low-dose aspirin offers safe and effective protection from cardiovascular disease
Aspirin can lead to serious medical problems such as gastrointestinal and intracranial bleeds, ulcers, kidney failure, blindness, and many more
A safer, more effective approach to heart health is reducing chronic inflammation through diet, exercise, sun exposure, and grounding yourself to the earth
