[Share Your Remedy!]( [Burnt Sugar for COVID]( Posted by ladybug (Fairfield, TX) on 01/24/2022 [5 out of 5 stars] ‘Burnt Sugar' for Covid. Please read entire post. Please do not respond with how bad sugar/carbs are for your health or your teeth. This is for medicinal use, not for discussion of dietary use. What is ‘Burnt Sugar'? First thing to know - it isn't burnt. It is sugar that has been cooked until it turns dark amber. Think dark peanut brittle color. ‘Burnt Sugar' is an old home remedy used for dry coughs. It is known to make a dry cough convert to a wet cough. Dry cough happens when the membranes of the throat or lungs are irritated. The irritation causes a cough. A wet cough is a cough that moves phlegm from the throat or lungs. (Phlegm is the mucus that you cough up with a bad cold.) So why would ‘burnt sugar' work for Covid?

She said it was unbearable and her doctor had told her to take Tylenol, which she said did not touch it. She also said that her body ached in all of the joints and it was pretty unbearable to her.

Then you can start rebuilding the normal flora in the gut. Within 3 weeks we saw significant improvement in our son's behavior, communication, and he seemed to be aware of his surrounding for the first time. We made the change when he was 7, he is now 11. He is behind his peers in school but is making steady progress... if you make these changes you will not regret them.

In July, my husband's doctor was concerned because his cholesterol (specifically, the "bad cholesterol") was elevated AND his calcium cardiac test revealed significant blockages in all of the main arteries in his heart. My husband has a bad heart history in his family.

I have found little information about it, but I will share what I know and have tried. What initially intrigued me what that mullein root was reputed to increase synovial fluid, making it easier for disks to move and get re-aligned. And, once I got ahold of some mullein root tincture and tried it, it did seem to accomplish that, applied directly to the skin over the vertebrae in my neck. My neck would loosen up and I could get it to pop.

TDS stands for total dissolved solids. Here is a description of what that covers: [( The inventor of the SilverTron colloidal silver generator has written extensively about the use of a TDS meter for the purpose of determining how pure the water is that you start with when making colloidal silver and this is an important step in the process...

We have quite a number of testimonials from people in the Pacific Island countries who are HIV positive that after taking 1 to 3 tablespoons a day have improved a lot in their conditions. So there you go. This is one of the best locally found remedies of all kinds of viral infections like influenza and other flu, used by our pacific Island counties long in history.

I had painted it on my body for weeks and it did not have the same effect. I had read in a study that it might work for tinnitus and am going to dilute some in heated distilled water and try it.

The inflammation made it so I kept biting it, too. Even the lymph node on that side of my neck was swelling. I found a recipe for Slippery Elm Lozenges and modified it. (They are typically used for coughing or sore throats.) [Continue Reading]( [Slippery Elm for Chronic Bowel Problems]( Posted by Michael (New Zealand) on 01/28/2022 [5 out of 5 stars] Hello there! A good friend of mine has had bowel problems and constipation for years and has tried "everything" with limited success - 'tis an on-going malady to be sure and causes a Tonne of grief and tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth. One thing she never seems to take on board though is the crucial need to drink more water than she does (especially in the summer) no matter how many times I suggest it to her. Stubborn? You could say that! Some people are just plain difficult to help. [Continue Reading]( Blood Clot Prevention Support Prior to Surgery? Posted by Lynn (North Carolina) on 01/26/2022 I am going to have surgery on my ankle to remove hardware and repair a torn tendon. In the past, after I broke my ankle and had surgery, I developed blood clots in my leg and had to go on a blood thinner. I am wanting to avoid medications and would prefer a more natural preventative approach. I appreciate any suggestions.

It's not in the aftermath of doing either. As soon as I swallow and the food/drink reaches a certain point in my esophagus? the heartburn is intense. Anyone have this issue? I'm mixing honey with warm water and sipping that as well as bananas blended with plain Kefir. The anticipation of pain makes it hard to want to eat/drink anything.

I am 26 years old, I have only had my period three times on the last two years. I also am suffering from the darkening of my skin under the breast and in the groin area. I also have hair under my chin that is grows in darks and thick. I am sure I have a hormonal imbalance. I also don't eat dark meat, drink my tea and coffee black. Sometimes with honey. I stay away from processed foods and eat primarily only organic foods. I have been doing this for the past years. It seems like my symptoms have worsened since. I also never got my period until I was 14, it's has always been irregular and sometimes lasts for months. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I had an MRI and year ago and came back normal. My mother had MS and I'm terribly worried that this is a sign for me.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I have had them for about 6 months. been to the Dr. They are not ringworm or fungal. Dr doesn't know what they are. can't get in to a skin specialist for 5 months. I seem to have developed them when I was having acupuncture around that area but not in that exact spot, don't really know if that was the cause though. They started as spots then morphed into what they are now. they are not itchy or painful. I hope someone can help, please.

I've been suffering from Bronchiectasis for over ten years now. I have reached the "anti-biotic resistance" stage and so am looking for alternatives. I noticed no one talks about clearing methods for phlegm. I learned that at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. I don't think I would be here today if not for that one simple technique. I met a gentleman the other day that drinks DMSO for arthritic pain and he reported amazing results. That got me thinking about it for my Bronchiectasis. I found several posts on the subject here, but not enough information to create my own treatment plan. I also am interested in using CS and HP, but would like some info on specific amounts to use and frequency of use. A referral to any articles, or other information in regard to these questions would be most appreciated! I am due to see an infectious disease doctor in February and I can't imagine what kind of heinous drug they might want to resort to.

As a result, I am shedding hair, too much of it. I've heard that topical iodine may be a remedy. Can anyone shed some light on this, I am getting desperate. Thank you.
