Would anybody be interested in starting a homeopathy ping list? I’d do it, but I don’t know how.

I’m an allopath, so personally, no. But to do a ping list, collect some screen names of freepers who comment on vitamin/mineral threads like this and then keep them in a document on your computer or on your homepage. Then, after you find an article of interest, cut and paste the names you’ve collected and voila! you’ve got a ping list...

One thing you’ll come across eventually if you read much on this: Muscadines and scuppernongs require very little care, and not many pests bother them, and grapes produce resveratrol as a defense against fungus diseases. It’s thought that, since muscadines often aren’t sprayed at all, that they produce more resveratrol fighting off fungi with no assistance from man. - So, it might be best to not spray unless absolutely necessary.

A lot is this is probably still being studied, but I’ve seen that stated in several different articles.

That is an intermediate (peroxide) which produces oxygen radicals in the body.

Drinking peroxide (heavily diluted and on an empty stomach) is murder on internal pathogens. If the stomach is empty the oxygen is absorbed. IV peroxide infuses even more oxygen into the blood. I've used it on numerous occasions and stopped a throat tickle or swollen throat lymph in a matter of hours. I understand this is anecdotal, but there is a plethora of research (mostly European) on peroxide treatments all with extremely positive results.

I'm into brewing kombucha. I was first told about kombucha by a fellow Freeper. I'm brewing it by the gallons and giving it to friends and family by the case.

An amazing side effect for me--it cured my toe nail fungus.

HA! An allopath is a traditional western medicine guy or gal. I am a physician, but it can refer to any health care provider.

Gross, how can you drink Peroxide? Won’t that kill you? I use it for mouthwash or for cleaning ears and wounds, but to drink it? Are you sure? It also tastes really bad.

I once had a classmate from the Eastern shore of Maryland. She got really sick, seemed like the flu, and her family put onions in stockings and then tied the stockings around different parts of her body. I think this was supposed to help with the fever.

Eventually, she got so sick she had to go to the ER. By this point she was almost out of it (turned out it was meningitis), but the last thing she remembered was the ER team cutting off the stockings and hearing onions roll all over the floor.

The health care on the eastern shore must be horrible. Before the ER she went to 2 doctors; neither took a throat culture or blood sample. She could have died, and ended up losing so much time from school that she had to drop out, all because these ‘doctors’ didn’t run the simplest of tests. Sounds like Obamacare.

Have you heard about Moringa? I’m taking that. Don’t know if it’s helping anything, but I haven’t had a cold. I’m really taking it to lower my Cholesterol. There are lots of testimonials out there.

You don't drink the stuff out of the brown bottle from the drug store. You have to get 33% food grade peroxide. That is diluted heavily with distilled water (pure water with no additives). The peroxide you drink in this manner is measured in drops. For instance, three drops to 8 oz of water. It still doesn't taste very good.

The 33% peroxide is highly caustic and will melt your skin as I can personally attest. 90% peroxide is rocket fuel. The reason you must take on an empty stomach and use distilled water is that because if the solution or your stomach have any metals present it will oxidize them creating free radicals. A poster earlier mentioned this and was completely correct.

are you talking about every day peroxide and does swishing every day help? I mean what is the diluting amounts with water? Let me know because I am one of those people who can’t get a flu shot, too sensitive on most meds. I have only had two flu shot and got deathly sick both times. My daughter is the same way.

Same here. I’m an old person and take everything under the sun, except for prescription medicines. It’s a full time job just keeping track of all the pills and capsules.

Does your NAC stink as bad as mine does? I opened the bottle the other day and nearly passed out.
