Silver Resistant Bacteria?? 4 y
Silver works, but now there is resistant bacteria [or more lies?]
Well if there are Silver resistant bacteria {or ”isolates” as they say], and if mainstream medical research is interested enough to do a study on drug resistance, with Silver as the antimicrobial of interest...
IT MUST MEAN SILVER WORKS as an antimicrobial/antibacterial agent!!
And it means THEY KNEW IT ALL ALONG, despite the denials about Silver being useless.
Their denials lead directly to overuse, and the drug resistant Isolates.

We had chronic pain for many years, and now we are becoming senior citizens, and old people have new pains.
My time with Cure Zone, since I started reading and writing here, has been a long time, 1/4 of my lifetime. Like many of the other Curezoners, I have endured Chronic Pain - variously called amplified pain, Fibromyalgia [”Fibro”], Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
It is the ”this” in ”I can’t do this anymore”. [that one almost brought a tear to my eye!! okay, it did]
First off, we should pat ourselves on the back for surviving this long.... ”I can’t do this anymore” are just words, thoughts, feelings - but real life has no options and we either HAVE to keep doing it or lose t ... read more Pres. Trump says "7oF temperature rise by 2100" 5 y
Troubling admission by Trump about global warming forecasts.
To carry opn the theme from the previous post - Could the year 2020 be "the year of seeing more clearly"?
Perhaps, because the political winds have lined up to give us a glimpse into the future:
Pres. Trump spilled the beans last week, on about Dec 27th 2019, when he admitted that he knew global warming is real, and that his advisors have a forecast of +7oF for yr 2100. That is the kind of thing that our leaders know, but are not telling us, the public, about it, They give us a softer version.
These statem ... read more 2020 - seeing clearly 5 y
2020 is a good analogy for our time
Well it is here - the year 2020 was used when making projections about "what would life be like in the future".
2020 is relevent to the Baby boomer generation in that "If this is 2020, I must be OLD".
My oldest siblings were born during world war two, when everything changed
My Mother was born in 1920. 100 years ago. She rests in eternal peace now.
All this has happened during our lives - the world has been turned inside out and upside down, but the scariest part is that we still DO NOT KNOW some very important th ... read more Growing Old 5 y
Getting old is often painful, but we do get to die in the end.
”Nobody said growing old was fun” is a sentiment I hear from people approaching the time when we must start the application for the old age pension. To say so is a way of accepting the necessary decline in function and the increase of bodily insults.
Hernias happen as tissues weaken. Old injuries can awaken. Eyes and ears weaken. The nose produces prodigious amounts of snot from the least of irritations, Teeth fall from the mouth, replaced by dentures that some people such as myself are so utterly happy with after a 25 year battle with dental pains - but we talk funny and our f ... read more "How Dare You" - Adult's turn for a Climate Strike 5 y
HOW DARE YOU is what Greta said to adults at the UN. Climate Strike week is ending today, and nothing changed - DARE TO BE AN ADULT by continuing the strikes, but in your workplaces and so on.
Well that was something to admire and support - the youth's Climate Strike around the rworld for the past week,
I went to the local high school to see what they were doing, and so I felt like I was doing something about global warming.
"HOW DARE I?" - it occured to me on the way home that I was piggy-backing on the youth's orgainizing abilities to make me feel better. NO NO NO NO!!!
"HOW DARE WE PUT THIS ON THE KIDS?" - they have done more than adults have to move the powers that be to taking avtion on climate change.

Growing up with a narcissist sibling - a life of confusion
Imagine an average kid who has an older siblling who displays the tendancies of narcissim... The younger one has been tormented at times by the sibling's mental illness, and so the younger one learns to reject, and resent, any behaviors of that sort.
On the other hand, the older sibling is the primary source of 'cultural education' for the younger one - they learn how to deal with relationships [friends, family, teachers, etc] from the narcissist. Other behaviors are all influienced by the narcissist.
The younger one r ... read more Nature Soothes 5 y
Being out in nature for several days at a time really does feel good, mentally and physically.
I recently spend a full week 'out there' in nature. It wasn't wilderness, but it was nature. We arrivwed, shut the car off, and never hear a machine or computer etc for a whole week
The swelling in my lower legs went down, and by day 3 there was no swelling.
The daily killer headaches I have been having all summer were gone, - I had only two mild headaches all week.when camping!!
Lower back pain, sciatica, and gut bloat are common ailments for me, but they were gone or mild out cam ... read more 60 year old Chronic Pain people? 5 y
I am curious about how other people with chronic pain feel after surviving 30 or 40 years with it.
Are you out there? - people over 60 yrs old who have had chronic pain [like Fibromyalgia] for the past 30 or 40 years?
I wonder how other "Fibros" are feeling about heading into their senior years with chronic pain, plus the added pains of senior citizens?
And, how do you feel about the lack of progress in diagnosis and treatments for Fibromyalgia [etc]?
I also wonder how 30 or 40 years of daily pains has changed you, and me. Do we even know what changed us? - it is difficult to know that because of the long timeline - ... read more Fibro - breakthrough on gut flora, and the word.... 5 y
Gut Flora - may be at the root of Fibromyalgia
2nd things 1st:
FINALLY, after about 20 years of trying to find and use a better word than ”fibromyalgia”!!
Duh... How about FIBRO? There, that sounds a little more friendly and less erudite than the official medical term. Eh?
Okay, now the main course - research has found that Fibros have an identifiable populations and types of gut flora.

Chronic Pain and Lidocaine, Vs Management.
For so many years...
Those of us who have been living with chronic pain conditions for many years cannot be expected to be ”looking for a cure” the whole time.
For the first few years it makes sense to try to find the cause and then cure it, but at some point we will realize that all we can do to help ourselves is to MANAGE... to find ways to be slightly more comfortable, or to be more active, and to stay sane.
IF I cannot be cured, then I would try to not ”get worse” - that is also a management issue. Trying too hard to find a cure will likely result in a worsening of ... read more Face cancer, secondary infections 5 y
Basal Cell cancer on face, and a huge infection
NOBODY else seems to have my experiences.
Am I the only basal cell carcinoma patient who gets huge swelling under an eye?
Doctor said ”infection, take this antibiotic”, so I did because nothing else was working.
This is A DANGEROUS AREA to have an infection because ”it can drain to the throat, or go to your BRAIN” said my Doc.
The cancer is still there - the first surgery did not get it all, and we will do that 2nd surgery in April or May.
Or maybe I should get a 2nd opinion??
But what is the source of the infection? Circumstances point to the CBD oil [a cannabi ... read more No, it did not kill the cancer 5 y
My alt-med treatments for face cancer did not do the job, but the scalpel did.
I had a Basal Cell carcinoma, beside my nose, as it common.
As my previous post stated, I was using various alternative treatments to try to kill it before the knives came out.
I didn’t have enough time I suppose, because it was certainly much less visible than before my treatments.
In the end, the Doc cut out a thumbnail size chunk of cancer. I am amazed at how big it was... in my face??!!
Anyhow, I do not consider my experience a victory or a failure for alt med, it was just not enough time. visit the page Alternate Cancer Cures 5 y
did I kill my cancer? Possibly, the coming week will have the answer. And a bigger challenge: pray for my niece.
If you or I happened to stumble upon a way to kill a cancer tumor, then What happens next?
I had a biopsy done on a sore spot on myy face , it was postiive for Basal Cell carcinoma [skin cancer] , and then the sore spot became infected [bacterial] .
I wanted to to use my arsenal of alternative therapies to try to kill the cancer, so it was very disappointing that I failed to keep bacterial infections out of the equation,... but in fact the infection gave me more time before surgery.to see if my ... read more Bed Vs Recliner - can't lay down? 6 y
Laying down causes problems, I sleep in recliner - whats that all about and How about YOU?
I know a few people with chronic health conditions who prefer to sleep in their recliner instead of bed.
They mostly 'found it more comfortable';
"Because bed is intolerable" - that is my reason for sleeping in my recliner.
Other people's beds don't seem as bad for the mental torrtures that I experience in my bed. It wasn't always that way though - I slept there in that bed for 8 years and then this stuff started happening. It could be a long story, so suffice to say that now I lay down, hear myself breathing, ... read more Basal Cell Cancer - Biopsy positive 6 y
I have skin cancer, just got the biopsy news today. Dec. 21 2018
A spot on my face beside my nose, a stubborn sore spot turned out to be skin cancer - lucky for me, this is the easiest cancer to deal with. I might get a macho guy scar out of it - do the ladies still like that? Oh well, I have been good looking for long enough, lol.
But it is starting to act weird - almost aggressive white blood cell serum covers the area over - but then I apply a topical treatment such as Tea Tree Oil and it starts to peel off. It can form a hard layer in just a few hours.
So is that a bad thing to take the covering of serum off of it li ... read more Deniers hatch a conspiracy theory 6 y

DOGWOOD writes a lot about global warming, warning us about the continued high level of fossil fuel emissions. Do they favor American oil over Canadian - sort of, in that the TAR SANDS are the dirt ... read more |
