Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 It is my opinion -- and it is only an opinion -- that if she can't take the BP medicine till she gets her bloodwork, she probably shouldn't avail herself of any natural remedies, either. I hesitate to give any advice beyond this although starting an exercise program (under a doc's supervision, of course) might help her BP. But if, indeed, the elevated BP is a result of an allergic reaction, it would seem to me that a full allergy work up is in order and that dealing with the BP may be treating the symptom rather than the problem.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 When she mentions the bite incident to the doctors they all ignore her as if she has no sense. She, too, thinks they are treating the symptoms and not the problem but the doctors all say there isn't a problem. I will enquire if she has had an allergy work up.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 For sure I would recommend shetake Vitamin C. I believe she should take between 2-4 grams of it per day in divided doses. , this will help immensely. This is the minimum amount she should be taking. If she has allergies, this will not cause a problem at all. In fact if she is dtaking any kinds of medications the Vitamin C in large doses will only do her some good. If she is really interested in treating an illness, she can take the Vitamin C to bowel tolerance, and you may need some advice on how to do this, since taking Vitamin C to bowel tolerance is quite different from taking a daily therapeutic dose of Vitamin C for normal functioning.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Vitamin C to bowel tolerance can specificly treat a nasty spider bite. It can also treat and cure such problems as viral infections and bacterial infections, and it even makes the treatment with antibiotics more effective. I always keep on hand at all times a jar of 500 Vitamin c capsules to treat and cure such things as a spider bite, a viral infection or a bacterial infection. Vitamin C therapy to bowel tolerance is cheap and easy to do. All one needs is an ample supply of Vitamin C capsules, usually in the 1000 mg pill, which is a 1 gram dose taken singly. The first time I took Vitamin C to bowel tollerence it took 75 capsules over a three day period before I reached bowel tolerance. The second time I did it took one and a half days and 35 capsules of Vitamin C to reach the goal. Maintaining near bowel tolerance for a few days like 4-7 days will usually cure most anything which ails you. The strange thing about achieveing bowel tolerence is that it does not cause much discomfort, if any , at all, and in fact I even felt better while doing so. If you are a diabetic, you can forget about getting accurate blood sugar readings while undergoing this treatment. So you will have to choose between getting good readings or curing your disease or ridding your system of a poison. I prefer getting rid of the bug. My jar of Vitamin C cost me around $20, which is really cheap, when one considers how many problems it can solve.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 To reach bowel tolerance with Vitamin C take two capsules of 1000mg Vitamin C per hour until lose bowels is achieved. When this is achieved back off on the dose of Vitamin C to 1 capsule per hour and maintain until you can back off to 1 capsule per every two or three hours for several days. The amount of Vitamin C needed to achieve bowel tolerance varies from individual to individual and depends also on the severity of the infection or toxin in the system. The more severe the bug is, the more vitamin C is required. Caution: Never take more than a 5 gram dose of Vitamin C in a single dose, since this will usually cause some mild diarrhea in most people. The most prevalent problem with Vitamin C and most people is that they do not take enough of it.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 My neighbor was told that because she didn't go to the ER there was no way at this time that they can tell what she was bitten by. This happened on the 4th of July and she said that she had a reaction that went down her left leg and it began in her spine. The doctors attributed the cause to shingles and would look no further. They didn't do any kind of allergy testing, just said too much time had gone by. I suggested she see a diagnostician as no one is willing to investigate. As for being diabetic, she hasn't had any kind of work up in years for diabetes. This is as much as I know.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Shingles is the result of a viral infection. Take Vitamin C to bowel tolerance and maintain it for a few days, and she will probably be cured. Never worry about overdosing on Vitamin C, because it is improbable one can ever do it. In the entire recorded history of Vitamin C use, there has never been a fatality due to a Vitamin C overdose. Not one death due to Vitamin C in over a century! I think this speaks volumes as to the safety record of Vitamin C use. I don't think you can say the same thing about the use of aspirin for the past month.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 You are correct in that excess vitamin C is eliminated via the urine. That is why one must take it so often and in such great quantities. However, I remain unconvinced that something which, taken in large doses, makes you crap up a storm, is necessarily good for you.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Maybe she was using the wrong form of Vitamin C for her. Vitamin C is acidic, and it must be taken in the right form to keep from causing upset stomach. One thing for sure, your sister cannot kill herself with Vitamin C. The Vitamin C I use contains 1000 mg of C and 100 mg of biotin in each capsule, and it never causes me any problems. Just because it makes one person " upset " does not mean it makes every body upset. The same holds true for all substances ingested in the body. I know lots of folks who get upset with a single aspirin, but a single aspirin rarely causes others to get upset. It is amazing how a negative perception held by a person can prevent them from even trying it. It is also amazing how such perceptions spread by others, who haven't tried it, results in ignorance for others.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Your response sounds like the typical response from the medical establishment to discourage others. If you are interested in seeing the research, I can furnish you a link or two. By the way most of this research was done by medical doctors. You are right about one thing for sure. That portion of Vitamin C which is not needed by the body is definitely excreted. So the question remains, how much vitamin C does a sick body need? The answer is as much as it takes.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Really, Harry Shingles is caused by the virus related to the chicken pox virus. In all my years in medicine, I have never heard of Vit. C curing chicken pox or shingles. Don't yo think if it was that easy doctors would be giving it people with shingles; particularly in older people who really suffer from the shingles? Shingles can be fatal if bad enough in elderly people. I had shinges once and it was miserable. Re: Question regarding natural remedy for HBP Shingles is the result of a viral infection. Take Vitamin C to bowel tolerance and maintain it for a few days, and she will probably be cured. Never worry about overdosing on Vitamin C, because it is improbable one can ever do it. In the entire recorded history of Vitamin C use, there has never been a fatality due to a Vitamin C overdose. Not one death due to Vitamin C in over a century! I think this speaks volumes as to the safety record of Vitamin C use. I don't think you can say the same thing about the use of aspirin for the past month.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Yes, some doctorrs do give it. It is mostly the doctors instructed by the AMA and drug representatives that do not use it at all. Medical doctors as a general rule will not prescribe any thing unless it is sanctioned as ethical medical practice by the AMA and their respective state's licensing board. The last time I looked I have never seen a recommendation for any vitamins in any quantities bby any medical association, federal or state government. In fact you and any doctor would bve hard pressed to find any research in any medical journal that reports any good research results using vitamins and minerals or nutritional therapy. There is plenty of good sound research to support vitamin therapies, but you will never see them in a medical journal. Do you wonder why? I do. It is a known fact that prescribing any thing other than drugs, surgery, radiation physical therapy and a few other toxic things are not profitable. In other words there is no money in it, that is prescribing vitamins. I urge you to seek out the research and read it. I know chicken pox and shingles is caused by a virus, and I also know there is a cure for it, but it is really cheap, I mean really cheap. In a word no money in it.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 A cursory look at what causes canker sores in the federal government web site reveals the following: Fever blisters are caused by a contagious virus called herpes simplex. Them are two types of herpes simplex virus. Type 1 usually causes oral herpes, or fever blisters. Type 2 usually causes genital herpes. Although both type 1 and type 2 viruses can infect oral tissues, more than 95 percent of recurrent fever blister outbreaks are caused by the type 1 virus. Herpes simplex virus is highly contagious when fever blisters are present, and the virus frequently is spread by kissing. Children often become infected by contact with parents, siblings or other close relatives who have fever blisters. A child can spread the virus by rubbing his or her cold sore and then touching other children. About 10 percent of oral herpes infections in adults result from oral-genital sex with a person who has active genital herpes (type 2). These infections, however, usually do not result in repeat bouts of fever blisters. Most people infected with the type 1 herpes simplex virus became infected before they were 10 years old. The virus usually invades the moist membrane cells of the lips, throat or mouth. In most people, the initial infection causes no symptoms. About 15 percent of patients, however, develop many fluid-filled blisters inside and outside the mouth 3 to 5 days after they are infected with the virus. These may be accompanied by fever, swollen neck glands and general aches. The blisters tend to merge and then collapse. Often a yellowish crust forms over the sores, which usually heal without scarring within 2 weeks. The herpes virus, however, stays in the body. Once a person is infected with oral herpes, the virus remains in a nerve located near the cheekbone. It may stay permanently inactive in this site, or it may occasionally travel down the nerve to the skin surface, causing a recurrence of fever blisters. Recurring blisters usually erupt at the outside edge of the lip or the edge of the nostril, but can also occur on the chin, cheeks, or inside the mouth. The symptoms of recurrent fever blister attacks usually are less severe than those experienced by some people after an initial infection. Recurrences appear to be less frequent after age 35. Many people who have recurring fever blisters feel itching, tingling or burning in the lip 1 to 3 days before the blister appears. What causes a recurrence of fever blisters? Several factors weaken the body's defenses and trigger an outbreak of herpes. These include emotional stress, fever, illness, injury and exposure to sunlight. Many women have recurrences only during menstruation. One study indicates that susceptibility to herpes recurrences is inherited. Research is under way to discover exactly how the triggering factors interact with the immune system and the virus to prompt a recurrence of fever blisters. Mike, You might had better notify the federal health department that vitamin C also causes canker sores, too, so they can add it to their list of causes. You will also need to know that the government presently says there is no known cure. I know differently. Of course if you do not believe it will work, what is the use in trying? I know Vitamin C therapy cures viral and bacterial infections. It does not cure fungal infections. If you cure a viral infection, does this mean you will never have it again? Of course not. If you get reinfected you are infected again, and it requires treatment once again. I would recommend to you to take vitamin C therapy to bowel tolerance for at least 5-7 days along with some zinc lozenges daily. I dare you to properly treat yourself. If you try it, it might work. If you do not try it, it definitely will not work. Let us know how it goes. Some people like to hang on to their illness, because it brings them some rewards. I definitely do not have any canker sores. I also do not believe that vitamin C causes your canker sores. Most creatures like to live, and when they are threatened they multiply. Small doses of vitamin C can probably threaten them. I highly recommend you not threaten them, but get rid of them for now at least. Just think, you might be cured in a week.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Agreed. But like you, I know what my experience is. And that is that when I take too much C, I get them. Go figure.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Oh, I see. So there's tons of money to be made prescribing aspirin as a heart attack preventative? C'mon, Harry, the charge that the medical profession only recommends that which brings in lucre is getting rather old and tired.
