_Q. My incredibly itchy scalp (crusty white and sometimes bloody) plagues me for years and I feel movement subcutaneously with it - creepy. I hear creaking, clicking, squeaking, cracking and popping of fluid with this.
_A. Mites are one possibility, or it could be eczema or a dermatitis. You could start with olive oil and rub a large amount in to the hair then cover it with a shower cap and leave overnight. This will suffocate any mites. And wash all your bedding when you do this. I also recommend that you work on your adrenals in case it is eczema or a dermatitis. Of course this will also mean quitting the smoking and coffee. [Take vitamin C and vitamin B5 foods for the adrenals.]

__SCARRING PREVENTION

There are a few things that can help. One is the comfrey root, which contains a high content of healing allantoin. Once it has healed some coco butter can be applied, but it will have to be melted then some oil added so that when it cools it will be soft enough to apply. I would recommend blending the butter with unrefined avocado oil or sunflower seed oil. I generally mix about 4 ounces of the butter with 2 ounces of oil. When the mix cools but has not hardened yet healing essential oils can be added such as lavender oil. As it continues to cool it will resolidify, but will melt with body heat making it easy to apply. Castor oil is also supposed to be good for scars. And ginger poultices can be used to eat aways the scar tissue so new healthy tissue can grow in.
__SCARS
For scars, use protease enzyme sources such as powdered ginger root mixed with a little rice bran as an exfoliant.

_The best herb for increasing testosterone is tribulus terrestris. Nettle root is a good herb to combine with tribulus. Nettle root is what is known as an aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts testosterone in to estrogen. So by blocking this enzyme the nettle root can help maintain testosterone levels. Trimethylglycine (TMG) is a methyl donor that aids in the formation of hormones among other things. Zinc is also essential for testosterone formation, though you should not exceed 50mg daily.
_And don't forget to focus on the adrenals. The adrenals also generate testosterone.

_The silica from food-grade diatomaceous earth [added to water overnight] provides numerous benefits, [such as] from its role in collagen and elastin formation. Collagen is a protein that gives tissues strength, while elastin gives tissues elasticity. This is why it helps with wrinkles and strengthening the nails. By increasing collagen it gives these tissues strength, and the elastin restores the elasticity ... in the skin ... to [remove or prevent] wrinkles. It also helps with varicose veins and aneurysms, [which] result from a loss of collagen and elastin in the veins and arteries causing these blood vessels to balloon out. Along the same line silica helps to prevent arteriosclerosis by both strengthening arteries to prevent damage, and because of silica's anti-inflammatory properties. Emphysema results from a loss of elastin in the alveoli, and so is also helped by silica supplementation. It is the absolute most important nutrient for bone strength. Silica not only aids with calcium absorption, but it is also essential for the collagen matrix that gives the bones the majority of their strength. In addition the piezoelectric effect of silica is what allows mineralization of the collagen matrix. In other words, without sufficient silica all of the calcium, magnesium, phosphorus ... will not do anything for the bones. Silica can help prevent visual problems from aging due to loss of flexibility of the lens of the eye. It is great for tendonitis and other similar problems due to the strengthening and anti-inflammatory properties of silica. Silica also links together glucosamine molecules to form chondroitin molecules for the production of cartilage.
_HOW TO GET SILICA. Silica is poorly absorbed, so the best way to take it is by adding it to water. Put a large spoonful of food-grade diatomaceous earth in a jar of water and let it set for an hour or more. The water will dissolve a tiny amount of the silica to form orthosilicic acid, the usable form of silica. Pour some of the water into a glass, or cup etc, to drink, without pouring out the undissolved diatomaceous earth at the bottom of the jar. Then add more water to the jar to use later. The diatomaceous earth should last a couple months in the bottom of the jar, while continually taking water out from the top.

__SINUS INFECTION

_One of the most common mistakes I see doctors make is the prescribing of antibiotics without first performing a culture. This is especially true for sinus infections. Time and time again I have seen people given antibiotics for sinus infections without a culture. The majority of the time antibiotic therapy fails. The problem is that antibiotics work against bacteria, though the majority of sinus infections are fungal in origin. If a fungal infection is present in the sinuses, antibiotic therapy will not only fail, but the therapy will make the condition worse. The sinuses, like various other parts of the body, contain beneficial bacteria. These bacteria, among other functions, help to control fungal overgrowth. As antibiotics kill off the beneficial bacteria, the fungal infection becomes free to grow uncontrolled.
_Fungal infections of the sinus cavity are actually extremely difficult to eradicate. My former business partner suffered with a fungal sinus infection for seven years when I met him. He was prescribed antibiotics over and over without any success. A few doctors did run cultures, though the cultures failed to show infection. I made him a concoction of osha’ root, cayenne pepper, and licorice root. The next day a large fungus ball came out of his sinuses. Analysis by a medical lab determined that the infection was a very aggressive black fungus. The constant antibiotic therapy just increased the hold the fungus had in his sinus cavity.
_Further complicating the problem is the fact that the sinus cavity is a warm, moist environment. This is the perfect growing environment for fungus. When trying to fight fungal infections, two problems arise. First, any fungus being killed can become food for the surviving fungus. Second, if even one fungal spore remains the infection may rebound.
_Many feel the best way to address sinus infections is to first get a culture so the type of infection is known. If the infections are proven to be bacterial, pharmaceutical or herbal antibiotics, such as pau d’ arco, are recommended. Fungal infections are best addressed by trying to restore the flora in the sinus cavity. Probiotic supplements, or probiotic foods, such as yogurt or kefir, can help. A probiotic powder, such as acidophilus powder, may be made into a liquid, with the addition of distilled water, for nasal irrigation, or snuffing. This will help elevate levels of beneficial bacteria in the sinus cavity. Eating horseradish may also help. Horseradish root contains a volatile oil, with extremely strong antiseptic properties. When ingested, the oil is absorbed into the bloodstream, and excreted through the respiratory passages. By trying to breathe through the nose, the oil is forced up into the sinus cavity where it can help fight infection.
_Limiting the intake of simple sugars, high glycemic foods, and yeast products may also help. Consumption of alcohol and caffeine should also be eliminated.
_Maintaining a healthy immune system is also essential. A few suggestions are the herbs amla berry, schisandra berry, astragalus, jiaogulan, and myrrh. Other recommended supplements include 50 mg of zinc daily, 200 micrograms of selenium three times a day, and 10,000IU daily of vitamin A. Vitamin C is important, though excessive doses are not recommended. Natural sources of vitamin C are more effective than synthetic forms. This is why I recommend amla berry, which is my favorite source of natural vitamin C.
__SINUS INFECTION, FUNGAL
So it sounds like you likely have a fungal infection. My recommendation is to try and reestablish the flora in your sinuses. The best way to do this is to get some Acidophilus powder, not capsules. The capsules are going to have flow agents and other items that you don't want in your sinuses. Put some powder in a water bottle cap and add just enough water to make a thick liquid. Then lay down and put your head back. Use an eyedropper to put a little of the liquid in the nose and snuff it up in the sinuses. Repeat this several times a day. It will probably take a week or so for the numbers to build up enough to see a real difference. If you can make some kefir water to use instead of the Acidophilus then that would be even better.

_Cayenne helps because peppers, as well as ripe bell peppers and sweet stuffing peppers, are all high in vitamin C and sulfur. Both are required for the formation of collagen and elastin, which give tissues including blood vessels strength and elasticity.
_But collagen and elastin formation also requires silica as well as traces of copper and zinc. Peppers are not a very good source of silica. Better choices are watercress and nettle leaf which are rich in silica, vitamin C and sulfur. In addition these are also great sources of quercetin, which forms blood vessel strengthening rutin, and vitamin K that also strengthens blood vessels.

_Someone began not sleeping well again and was getting a mild pain on the right side just below the ribs. Then the face began to break out. Then the emotional/mental state went way off track and depression set back in big time and Brain fog.
_Brain fog is most commonly caused from thyroid dysfunction.
_This could very likely be the gallbladder. If you are having temporary hormonal fluctuations a rise in estrogen or progesterone could cause problems with the gallbladder. Estrogen increases cholesterol release in to the gallbladder, while progesterone prevents gallbladder contractions.
_Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber in your diet for bile salt formation, and consuming SMALL amounts of oils will help stimulate gallbladder contractions to prevent stones from forming.
_This really sounds like a hormone issue. Breaking out is from androgens, which can be either testosterone or progesterone. And increases of estrogen from progesterone or testosterone can cause depression due to the suppressive effects of estrogen on the thyroid.
_This could be a temporary shift in the hormones as your body is trying to balance its hormonal system, especially if the vitex is finally kicking in. I don't see anything else in what you are doing that could cause this.

__SLEEP ISSUES

TOO STRESSED TO SLEEP SUPPLEMENTS

_One simple thing that can be done is to give up the caffeine and support the adrenals. One role of the adrenals is to maintain our energy levels. When people abuse caffeine to increase their energy they are actually doing the opposite in a way. As they crash their adrenals they actually become more dependent on the stimulant to try and get their energy up. If they crash their adrenals enough then the caffeine does not really provide this effect anymore. You may have heard people say that they can drink a cup of coffee and go right to sleep. These are the people who have crashed their adrenals. The adrenals can only produce small amounts of epinephrine (adrenaline) at a time. When a person uses caffeine on a regular basis they use up the epinephrine faster than it can be produced. This leads to a gradual decline of epinephrine. If this goes on long enough and frequently enough then the person can drink a cup of coffee, which results in most of the available epinephrine being used up so there is not enough to maintain their energy so they fall asleep after drinking the coffee.
_So avoiding coffee in the first place would be a great start. This way the adrenals would have a better chance to naturally maintain energy levels.
_If a little extra boost is needed then they could use something like _bee pollen, _American licorice root or a good quality _Panax ginseng for a safer energy boost.

_The primary reasons for sugar cravings is either low serotonin or hypoglycemic reactions.
_Carbohydrates will stimulate the release of serotonin if taken in the absence of high protein. This is why depressive eaters go for the sweets, because they can up serotonin levels giving them their serotonin "fix".
_And the body can crave sugars during hypoglycemic reactions as a means of getting the blood sugar levels back up.
_If the problem is with depressed serotonin levels then chamomile, nettle leaf and 5-HTP can help.
_For hypoglycemia I recommend licorice root, chromium polynicotinate and magnesium malate.
_A few other things that can help with sugar cravings are stevia and glutamine. The stevia is very sweet and putting it on the tongue can satisfy the cravings for sweets. Glutamine is the only thing other than glucose the brain can use directly as a fuel source. So it helps to satisfy the brain's need for fuel in the absence of sufficient glucose.

__D: SUGARS

_Every sugar has its pros and cons.
_Many sugars that are considered healthy such as raw sugar and honey are still sugar and will still raise the blood sugar. So they really are not much different than HFCS.
_And yes, sugar alcohols can cause bloating in some individuals and can cause diarrhea in large doses.
_Fructose is not as bad as sucrose, which includes raw sugar and is one of the sugars found in honey. Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is also the sugar of agave nectar. It will raise blood sugar, just like sucrose, but it burns more evenly than sucrose preventing the severe crashes.
_I feel the safest sugar source over all is stevia. It is very sweet, the higher quality grades taste great, and the sugars in stevia are not absorbed. Green stevia is also a great source of blood sugar regulating chromium.

_A. Myrrh is stronger that echinacea. But also avoid it with autoimmunity due to the high polysaccharide content.
_Myrrh is also great for stopping the spread of viruses, venoms and cancer cells since it is such a strong hyaluronidase inhibitor.
_Lymph nodes are actually part of the immune system. Occasionally they will swell in response to infections and in the case of some cancers. The swelling of the nodes has nothing to do with acidity, and nothing to do with the nodes retaining water. The swelling actually comes from a build up of white blood cells produced in the lymphatic system known as B lymphocytes. When an excess of these white blood cells are produced they crowd up in the lymph nodes causing them to swell up.
_Injury or trauma is often the cause of lymphodema because of damage to the lymph drainage system. Using lymphatic massage, rebounders, pressure bandaging (where practical) or vibration therapy machines, will help to drain lymphatic fluid buildup, caused by trauma or injury.

__**TEETH, CAVITIES PREVENTION & REMINERALIZING, ALSO WHITEN & REMOVE PLAQUE

See e.g. Dr. Ellie Phillips Videos. She says xylitol whitens teeth and removes plaque. And Rinsing with sodium fluoride Without Swallowing remineralizes teeth & prevents cavities. She says Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste is the only toothpaste scientifically proven to prevent cavities. I just bought a tube for $2 and plan to swish a little in my mouth at least once a day. I guess the longer you swish it, the more of the fluoride penetrates the teeth, so I did it for at least 5 minutes. She acknowledges that fluoride in the diet is toxic, so she recommends spitting it out after swishing for a few minutes. I’ve been brushing my teeth with granulated xylitol for over a month and my teeth are definitely whiter. She says other products that whiten are abrasive, so they remove the outer layer of the enamel, which thins the teeth over time. Xylitol is Not abrasive. It just removes stains and bacteria, so those things can’t stick to the teeth. And xylitol tastes like sugar, so it’s very pleasant to brush with it. And it’s okay to swallow it, because it’s not harmful in small amounts the way sugar is.

All of the ingredients will help kill the damaging bacteria in the mouth, and sage leaf helps to whiten the teeth [and remove plaque, I think - LK].

__TEETH REMINERALIZATION

_Alfalfa is great for tooth mineralization as is nettle leaf. Nettle leaf is also a good silica source. Both are taken orally as a supplement.
_Food grade diatomaceous earth (DE) is also a great choice. Add a spoon full to a gallon of water and let it settle out. Drink the water above the settled DE. As you drink the water add more water to the container and let it settle out again. The water will dissolve a little of the silica in the DE forming orthosilicic acid (OA). OA helps to build the tissues throughout the body. And by drinking the water with OA throughout the day you get more in to your system than you would by supplementing with silica since silica itself is so poorly absorbed.
_Avoid inhaling the DE or getting in to your eyes.

_I've got a few questions I’m hoping you could clarify. Regarding DHT and hair loss, unfortunately I happen to find myself in this situation. My hair seems to be receding at the temples (its more prominent on the right temple) and its becoming quite noticeable. You recommended licorice root as a DHT Blocker. If taken internally, I use the sticks/roots by the way, what is the recommended dosage that would specifically be helpful towards this condition?
_You can use the licorice internally, but putting it directly at the source will provide more benefit. If you want to use it internally then I recommend 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon 3 times daily before meals. For topical use I recommend boiling a spoon full of the licorice root in a cup and a half of water for 15 minutes covered. Then turn off the heat and allow it to cool. Strain the tea in to a dark bottle and add about a half teaspoon of rubbing alcohol to the mix to help preserve it. After washing your hair and towel drying put about a spoon full of the tea in to your palms and massage it in to your scalp focusing primarily on the temples and top of your head. This will help block the DHT at the source of the problem.
_The reason I ask this is because im considering muscle building and correct me if im wrong, the more testosterone levels , the more DHT.
_This is not necessarily true. Not al testosterone is converted in to DHT. So a person can raise their testosterone without raising DHT at the same rate.
_Does this mean I would need to increase the dosage of licorice to counter-act the increased production of testosterone levels?
_No. If you want to help maintain testosterone though you can also add nettle root, which blocks the conversion of testosterone in to estrogen.
_And again, is it possible to restore the already lost hair within my temple region - there still seems to be hair but its very faint
_Yes, as long as there is at least fuzz that means that the hair follicles are still alive and can regrow. If there is nothing left then the follicles are dead and cannot be restored.
_Also, I've experienced chronic dandruff on top of my head for years so im assuming this is some sort of fungal infection. The sides and back of my head are okay. Even the texture of my hair on top of my head seems to be more dry and wavy compared to the rest of my hair. Does fungal infections affect the texture of hair? Any possible solution to this?
_Dandruff can be caused by the fungus Malassezia furfur. There are several things you can do for this including adding antifungal oils to your shampoo such as thyme or eucalyptus oils and rinsing your hair with a weak organic acid solution such as vinegar or a weak citric acid solution.
_The acids can also be added to your shampoo to help balance out the pH. Some dandruff shampoos also use salicylic acid (aspirin) to treat the dandruff.
_Dry hair can be from the alkaline nature of shampoos that damage the hair, or from hypothyroidism.
_Waves in hair are in part genetic but are also supposedly enhanced by increased dietary sulfur, which can increase hair keratin.
_My forehead also seems to be very oily compared the rest of my face. Especially in the mornings when I wake up, my forehead gleams with oil! Any reason why it localized in this area and what could possibly be done to correct this?
_Active testosterone and DHT stimulate the sebaceous glands, which are larger in certain areas such as the forehead. So as long as you are trying to boost your testosterone you are going to increase this problem. You can try the licorice root tea on your forehead though as well to calm down the sebaceous glands.

_The thyroid needs, besides iodine, tyrosine, cAMP levels, adrenal function, hypothalamus and pituitary function, T4 to T3 conversion, rT3, etc.
_For the thyroid I would go with suma, maca and ashwagandha. The reason is suma and maca also help balance the hormones, which can also affect the thyroid and ashwagandha since it also helps with T4 to T3 conversion.
_ I tend to use ashwagandha more for adrenal support. Ashwagandha affects the GABA receptors in the brain giving it a mild tranquilizing effect. It is also great for the thyroid and especially stress associated hypothyroidism. It is in the nightshade family, but people with nightshade sensitivities still tolerate it really well.
_It works on inflammation by strengthening the adrenals. The adrenals produce anti-inflammatory corticosteroids.
_Nettle and ashwagandha are both good for hypothyroidism.
_Ashwagandha will not work by itself for the thyroid. Vitamin C and pantothenic acid sources are also needed for the adrenals and maybe some seaweeds for both the adrenals and the thyroid.
_I would go with 1 tablet of ashwagandha 3 times daily on an empty stomach at least 20 minutes before meals. This way you will maintain levels of the active compounds in the blood rather than having peaks then absences of the compounds. Taking herbs on an empty stomach prevents proteins and fats from interfering with the absorption of the compounds.
_But high levels of estrogen also suppress the thyroid. And bitters cleanse the liver, lowering excessive levels of hormones.
_Ashwagandha and coleus forskohlii both support the thyroid through different mechanisms.

__D: TINCTURES

_I rarely use herbs as tinctures or teas for various reasons. Part of this reason is that the alcohol used to make tinctures can alter the chemistry of some herbs greatly. You also lose the beneficial fibers.

__TINNITUS

_This is most often caused from a constriction of blood flow in the ear area. Gotu kola and periwinkle are both very good for this. Magnesium malate or citrate can also help.

__TISSUE DAMAGE OR TEAR

Herbs like comfrey root, plantain leaf, or gotu kola, will help with the healing process. Silica will also help strengthen the tissue making it less likely to tear in the future.

__TOOTH: SEE ALSO TEETH

__TOOTH INFECTION

For a tooth infection, which can cause the face to swell on one side like that, I recommend boiling some pau d' arco for 20 minutes covered then the heat turned off and allowed to steep until cooled. Drink the tea frequently throughout the day swishing the tea inside the mouth each time. The pau d' arco contains 18 antiseptics and 5 anti-inflammatories. If you want to sweeten the tea add a little licorice root to the tea when boiling it.

__TOOTH ISSUES, CAVITIES, FILLINGS, MERCURY

_I think the whole mercury amalgam issue is way over blown. Most of the mercury is leached out the amalgam within the first two years of being put in. And that gets mostly bound to phytates and algins from our diets preventing it from ever really being absorbed. The binding is so strong that as the phytates and algins get excreted they carry the toxic metals with them.

__D: TOXINS: PFAS

_(Fariz Dahoe:) (See H: OZONE) Ozone therapy is extremely effective {at} destroying those PFAS. PFAS has high affinity to lipids (fats). Basically when PFAS enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure, they can accumulate in fatty tissues and organs due to their affinity for lipids. This accumulation can result in higher levels of PFAS in these tissues over time. The lipophilic properties of PFAS contribute to their persistence in the environment and in the human body. They can remain in the body for long periods and are slowly eliminated. But thanks to ozone therapy it directly destroys them by stealing the electrons from the PFAS as those PFAS are entirely broken down and eliminated easily.

_When tumor samples were examined under the microscope, AP (Andrographis paniculata) was found to inhibit the growth of the tumors. Skin cancer patients given AP and its compounds alone recovered; patients given AP along with standard drugs, there was no tumor regrowth. Chorioepithelioma is a highly malignant tumor derived from the placenta. Twelve patients treated with AP alone recovered. Of these patients, four women subsequently became pregnant (this condition usually results in difficulties in trying to get pregnant). Of patients treated with other drugs in addition to AP, forty-seven did not experience a regrowth of the tumor during the time of the study, anal tumor, results were reported as "satisfactory" when the tumor was treated with a decoction of AP. In this therapy, a 500 ml. decoction was prepared from 100 g of AP and 1,000 ml water, filtering out residue, and mixing the liquid with 10 ml of vinegar. When the temperature of the liquid was below 40 degrees C., the anal tumor was treated in a sitz bath for fifteen minutes twice daily. There are quite a few herbs I really like that most people have never heard of like jiaogulan, coleus forskohlii, chagas, osha', red sage root (dan shen), etc._It does make a great bitter.... {Only if} taken long term ... it reduces fertility in both sexes.

__2. Ozone for Tumors and Cancer.
_OZONE GENERATOR Q: In case the new generator I'll buy is not, in fact, cold corona (although plenty of people are using it for insufflation, etc., without issue), are nitrous oxides still a problem if I'm using a concentrator with an oxygen purity between 94-96%? Is it also alright for ear insufflation? Don't want to poison myself or anything.
_A: With that high of a concentration of oxygen there would be such minimal acids formed that it would not really be an issue.
_EAR INSUFFLATION Q: If ozone is done through ear insufflation, what is the best method of administration for brain cancer?
_A: I generally just use a single tube, but some people get the stethoscope tubing so they can do both ears at the same time.
_Q: How far should the tubing go inside the ear?
_A: It does not really need to go inside the ear. I just hold the tube near the opening of the ear allowing the gas to blow in to the ear under low pressure. Since ozone weighs more than air it is best to lay the head sideways if using a single tube so the ozone will sink down in to the ear. From there it will readily cross the membrane in to the brain.
_Q: What is the flow rate, concentration, frequency?
_A: Again a low flow rate such as 1/8-1/10 LPM. Here I would go with a higher concentration 50-60ug/ml and 3-4 times daily for 20 minutes in each ear.
_Q: Will it still hit -- albeit less directly and with less force than thru rectal insufflation -- the rest of the body somewhat?
_A: Yes, the ozone will enter the bloodstream and reach other parts of the body more diluted though.
_Q: Are there any dangers to ear insufflation?
_A: Not if done properly. Just remember that you do not need the tube to go down in to the ear. Keep the pressure low, and keep the ozone away from the face so you are not inhaling large amounts or high concentrations of ozone.
_Q: I assume ozone through ear insufflation will almost always produce very quick clarity of mind.
_A: Yes.
_Q: What other beneficial chemical, etc., effects on the brain does ozone have, besides saturating it with oxygen? My best friend has generalized problems that might benefit from ozone through this method.
_A: Increasing brain function through increased ATP formation and ozone therapy can help reverse the damage from strokes if administered within 3 hours post stroke.
_Ear insufflation also helps with the eyes.
_Q: For general health, do you prefer ear insufflation or ozonated water? Ear insufflation once a day or so seems a lot less work to me, and it's a method I'd like to try.
_A: Both are good, but I prefer the ear insufflation as well for its effects on the brain and eyes.
_RECTAL INSUFFLATION Q: Can children be given ozone through rectal insufflation? I know of many people who asked me this for their own kids once they hear about my mom. If it's possible, what is the recommended concentration? Is it less than the 47 ug/mL upper limit for adults?
_A: Yes, but the younger the child the more careful one would have to be. Not because of concentration but rather children will have smaller colons and you do not {want} to over inflate the colon, and children are not always good at telling you when something is wring such as the pressure is building up too much in the colon. Otherwise the concentration is still the same.
_RADIATION Q: By what mechanism does ozone protect the body from radiation and the negative effects of chemotherapy?
_A: I don’t know if I would really describe it as “protective” in this case. What ozone can do is to help with cellular repair and to activate the immune system to take out mutated cells.
_ADVANCED CANCER Q: In the case of a very advanced cancer (brain, bones, lymphatic system, etc.), is this a good schedule? Weeks 1 + 2: Ozone every 3 days. Weeks 3, 4, 5: Ozone every day. Weeks 6, 7, 8: Ozone 3 times a day.
_A: With an advanced cancer I would speed things up some. It does not take very long to clear cellular debris and uric acid, especially when drinking plenty of water throughout the day. So I would start with once a day for the first 3-4 days then start increasing the number of times per day to three times daily. With the rectal insufflation the first few treatments are going to be very short anyway, and the primary reaction from interferon stimulation and cleansing usually only lasts for the first 3 days. If the person cannot handle that quick of an increase they can always go a little slower. But again with advanced cancers they need to be treated a little more aggressively.
_Q: Is there any time when ozone should not be used for cancer? For example, a woman I knew had cancer that spread all over the body, including large tumors in the brain. Would the rapid destruction of cancerous tissue in a sensitive organ like the brain lead to any problems?
_A: She could still {use} the ozone, but I recommend going a lot slower with the treatments since there will be more cellular debris than with a smaller tumor. And her system will need to clear the dead cellular debris in between treatments. So maybe start out with a treatment every three days then gradually increase the treatments to daily then three times a day. The person also needs to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

__URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI)

- https://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1398495

The best treatment for standard urinary tract infections is the herb uva ursi, or manzanita leaf if you can find it. Uva ursi contains 2 aglycones (hydroquinone bound to a Sugar molecule). These aglycones remain intact until they reach the kidneys, then the aglycones are split releasing the antiseptic hydroquinones. The advantage here is that the antiseptic effect is specific to the urinary tract and will not kill the flora like Antibiotics or herbs like goldenseal, which can lead to secondary infections. Manzanita is stronger containing 16 different aglycones, but it is not as readily available as uva ursi.

The hydroquinones in uva ursi work most effectively in an alkaline environment. So it is best to take the uva ursi with some calcium citrate or a small amount of baking soda to alkalinize the urine.

I prefer using the tea made from steeping 1 teaspoon of the cut leaves to a cup of hot water.

Cranberry is a common treatment for UTIs as well, but studies have found that the capsules are not very effective, and most of the cranberry juice on the market is cocktail, not pure cranberry juice. Look for pure cranberry juice, or cranberry juice liquid concentrate. You can also use blueberries or blueberry juice to achieve the same goal. Unlike uva ursi, which kills the infection, cranberry and blueberry work by preventing the adherence of bacteria to the bladder wall.

Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day and urinate frequently. One of the most common reasons for UTIs is not urinating frequently enough. Frequent urination flushes bacteria out of the urethra so it does not work its way up in to the bladder. For the same reason make sure to urinate immediately after intercourse. During intercourse bacteria can be pushed up in to the urethra.

The reason women are more prone to UTIs than men is because the urethra in women is shorter so there is less distance for the bacteria to travel to reach the bladder.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder with ulcerative and non-ulcerative subtypes. There has been no specific cause identified. One theory of IC though involves urinary toxins seeping in to the wall of the bladder triggering a release of histamine leading to tissue damage and nerve pain.

My recommendations for IC would be to focus on the adrenal glands first and to strengthen the bladder wall. The reason to focus on the adrenals is two part. Chronic inflammatory conditions in the body often result from adrenal dysfunction. Properly functioning adrenal glands produce sufficient levels of anti-inflammatory corticosteroids to keep inflammation down. The adrenals also release epinephrine, the body's own natural antihistamine. Schisandra berry and nettle leaf would both be good choices for supporting the adrenals. Both of these herbs also supply nutrients needed to strengthen the tissues. In particular vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and silica. Nettle leaf also provides the flavonoid quercetin, which is a natural antihistamine. This is how nettle leaf works for allergies, by both supporting the adrenals and due to its antihistamine quercetin. Watercress is also a good choice as well as it also provides nutrients to help stabilize tissues and it is very rich in quercetin.

**URINARY TRACT INFECTION; See also Biofilm Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the second most common infection that affects women. The symptoms — urinary burning, frequency, urgency and pain — are unpleasant and in some cases debilitating. ... Men can also get UTIs. Those with an enlarged prostate, diabetes or cancer and those under stress are at increased risk. ... A ... natural option is cranberry, which has been revered for centuries for urinary tract health. However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that its mechanism was elucidated. Cranberry works in part by preventing bacteria from adhering to the bladder. The condensed tannins or proanthocyanidins (PAC) adhere to the tiny hairs of the bacterial surface, changing the structure of the bacteria and preventing bacteria from implanting in the bladder wall. Additionally, researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute found chemical changes caused by cranberry juice create an energy barrier that keeps the bacteria from getting close to the urinary tract lining in the first place. ... Studies that yielded positive results involved large amounts of juice: up to 34 ounces per day {c. 1 quart, or 4 cups}. Most juice cocktails contain only 27 percent cranberry juice, along with sugar and water. A high intake of sugar and calories presents a problem for weight management and blood sugar control. Pure juice is available but quite expensive and very tart.
