Dupuytren’ contracture (Bend Fingers)
What causes Dupuytren’s contracture and what is the best treatment for it?
Can liver/gallbladder flushes remove PCBs and glyphosate from our bodies? If not, in what ways can we remove PCBs and glyphosate?
Are dark circles around the eyes that run in the family something that can be resolved by diet or other holistic approaches?
Still searching for information though have been educating myself for the last couple of weeks, please tell me more about chiropractic and other alternative approaches to treating psychotic disorders and medication withdrawal symptoms. Are there any specialists in the UK you could recommend? How to determine if dyskinesia is tardive or not, can it be temporary, have you treated anyone with these problems? What to do with akathisia and dyskinesia, should we have some medicines, or what to do during the attack?
My mom and I started taking Methylene Blue about a month and a half ago and we both absolutely love it! I have even gotten off my antidepressant. At first, I was taking it pre-made in a Mason jar to work and I realized it kept causing the lid to rust on my jar within one day and I found that super odd. Three weeks ago we started noticing the urge to urinate was sudden and strong to the point where you could almost pee your pants. Do you know if this is common for people to experience with Methylene Blue? Is it hurting our kidneys? We get our Methylene Blue from LifeBlud. I am going to take a break from it altogether and see if it improves. I just don’t want to have to go back on my antidepressant.
Re-mineralizing distilled water. Is this possible to do to make it ok to drink regularly not just when detoxing?
Knee. I have worked with a chiropractor 3 times a week as well as PTs. I may have baker’s cyst and fabella also, unclear diagnosis, and a failed hyaluronic injection in the joint as last resort. That increased pain tenfold with a lot of new pain. I had four accidents in 2020 with falling on the knee three times. Severe pain putting any weight on it. Excellent nutrition, stress from being in so much pain. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for your response to my question on my pronation and Haglund’s deformity. Just as an update – I’ve gotten a trochanter belt and have started wearing it just recently. I found a chiropractor in Zurich that does the Gonstead method. It sounds similar (I think) to what you are talking about. They will take X-rays. Do you approve of this method? Would it be considered “corrective”? There was a 4-month waiting list so we won’t get in until March, unfortunately. My dad – who I asked about regarding his Golf elbow – is near Fargo, North Dakota. There’s a Gonstead chiropractor there. Would that be a good option or do you know of another corrective chiropractor in Fargo? Also, have you heard of the Proprioceptive insoles from Posture Pro? Perhaps these would be helpful in my foot restoration plan. Also, you mentioned Proprioception with regard to my family member with tics. Could he benefit from insoles? He will also be trying a Gonstead chiropractor. His movements are not so much twitching as rhythmic. His tongue bounces like a “chewing the tongue” motion and his jaw juts forward and back over and over. I don’t know if that changes your thoughts in any way about his situation. He also has a propped open-mouth posture but doesn’t, unfortunately, see that as a problem. He will see an allergist to see if he has allergies that are making nose breathing difficult. The ENT did not see structural reasons.
Severe Food Allergies. If I eat anything besides meat, water, and salt, my heart rate jumps to 120-209 and I bloat so big I can hardly breathe. I miss the days when I could have an organic onion with some steak. I’ll sometimes cheat and eat an organic cooked carrot or vegetable and will have to take 1000 plus mgs of magnesium just to get my heart rate down to 100 and I’ll look pregnant for days. I’m sure it’s my nervous system. I’m so sick of not being able to eat. Any advice on how to overcome this?
Do you know what the differences between ozone therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are? Since they both work with oxygen, would they both have similar effects and benefits on the body?
Heavy metals. I have high levels of arsenic and cadmium and a clean diet – water filters, etc. I do juice and smoothies with lots of greens – all organic. I am wondering if the high levels are coming from vegetables and soil since I consume so much. Any wisdom on the topic?
