I'd ask that you'd take a couple-three hours to review Joe's posting history (and my responses) before you make such strong (and definitely unfounded) accusations.
Joe has severe gut dysbiosis and unmanaged, long-standing Hepatitis C. Had he utilized the suggestions made by SEVERAL posters, his external wound would never have progressed to the point of feeling he "needed" to take toxic antibiotics (
No one is "blessed" to have a phamaceutical poison (see report below), when there are safe & healthy alternatives that outperform them.
The "medics" do NOT have it right! There is always a safer herb or food that is safer and as/more effective than pharmaceutical poisons!
Joe makes his own decisions no matter what I (or anyone else) posts. That is quite clear to anyone that has followed his posts.
I am not "messing with his future"; he is 100% in charge of his own body and choices. The suggestions made to Joe on this forum are not something I made up (although both my husband, myself, & family have utilized them dozens of times to prevent/remove infection...as have dozens of others I have assisted).
Joe has made MUCH harsher posts to me (and others) in the past, but his words/actions do not justify mine in any way. What DOES justify my words is that I care much more about Joe than anyone that would suggest and/or applaud him for wimping out and falling prey to the allopathic fear card, hence taking a poison for two weeks that will definitely worsen his gut dysbiosis and severe liver compromise. That's what being a true friend is all about...not being politically correct.
If somebody doesn't say the truth, the truth will never been said. I'm somebody...and happen to be VERY proud of it!

The data below is taken from a pay-site for practitioners called eHealthMe (I pay $100 yearly to access this data). This site compiles ACTUAL data from actual adverse effects reported directly to the FDA. The FDA officially states that only 1 in 100 adverse effects are ever reported, so you can multiply the numbers in the data below by 100 for a clear picture.
Always note that the adverse effects of these low-dose poisons that are commonly listed on the package inserts (and elsewhere on the internet) are NOT even close to a clear picture. Clinical trials done for only 4-8 weeks with a very select group of people. A few weeks is not long enough to ascertain the negative effects of low dose poisons (think alcohol...if a 4-8 week trial was done on potential liver damage of drinking a 6-pack nightly, the results would likely read 'no adverse liver effects' or very slight. But a clinical trial of drinking a six-pack nightly for 4-8 YEARS...would produce an entirely different picture). Adverse reactions are always minimized by the pharmaceutical cartel (and many times patients that exhibit symptoms are 'dropped' from the clinical trials for 'other' reasons).
The results below (when the numbers are multiplied by 100) give a fairly clear picture of the adverse effects...but it doesn't show the myriad of negative events that happen within the body to bring about the symptoms.

Hmmmmm. The FDA????? Using something that has been put out by the FDA LOL!
www.herballegacy.com/Lobelia.html
Dr. Christopher considered Lobelia to be one of the greatest herbs in the world, and he used in over 20 of his herbal formulas. Lobelia is known as the “thinking herb” because it will go to the part of the body that is ailing, often taking constituents of other herbs with it. One of the greatest aspects of Lobelia is that it removes obstructions and congestion within the body, especially the blood vessels. It will also help the body eliminate toxins, choosing the best elimination channel. Dr. Christopher used Lobelia prolifically throughout his practice, and with great success.
Lobelia has an unfair reputation as being a dangerous herb or a poison, because it is an emetic. Dr. Christopher once accidentally swallowed four tablespoons of Lobelia, mistaking it for Apple Cider Vinegar. After vomiting profusely, he felt fine, and suffered no damage whatsoever. Dr. Thompson was once taken to court for killing a man with Lobelia-the man who was supposedly dead showed up to give witness against him! The case was thrown out. No deaths have ever been proven to have been caused by the use of Lobelia.
In the 1980's the Federal Food and Drug Administration tried to ban the use of Lobelia, because of the alkaloid lobeline. The FDA based their decision upon written sources in poisonous plant book, because they didn't have any actual case files of damage. Lobelia is still legal to use, and is not considered toxic by the FDA. Scientific tests have been done to determine a toxic amount of Lobelia. It has been determined that it would take four pounds of Lobelia being injected into the body to kill a person. No person is going to intake four pounds of Lobelia in one sitting. They would start vomiting before they made it to one pound! Dr. Christopher never had to use more than three teaspoons of Lobelia with a patient.
Lobelia is an expectorant, a diaphoretic, an anti-asthmatic, an anti-spasmodic and an emetic. It has been used in combination with Mullein for an excellent glandular formula. The American Indians used Lobelia as a cure for syphilis, as a diaphoretic, and to expel worms.
When combined with False Unicorn, Lobelia is used to prevent miscarriages. Dr. Christopher had multiple successes in stopping miscarriages. Some of Dr. Christopher's students used the False Unicorn/Lobelia to help a woman who was miscarrying. Because the bleeding didn't stop, they took her to a hospital. When they got her to the hospital, her body expelled the fetus. The doctor was amazed, because the fetus had been dead for several weeks. He explained that in this type of situation, they usually have to surgically remove particles of the placenta, but this woman's uterus was clean.
Lobelia has also been used as a painkiller. One of Dr. Christopher's students smashed his hand with a hammer. He soaked the hand in Lobelia tincture, and the pain subsided in minutes! Dr. Christopher stressed that Lobelia should be used to relieve pain only if the pain is acute, and not for minor pain relief. Lobelia can be applied externally or internally to relieve pain.
In the future if you're going to post information as fact, please provide a link to said information, thanks.

>>>before you laugh too hard, you might want to look at Uny's post and see who her reference was...<<<
It would seem that you need to review my post to ascertain the actual reference, as I most certainly did NOT reference the FDA for that list of adverse effects. As was explained in the post, I referenced eHealthMe, a site that compiles reports of actual adverse effects from pharmaceutical poisons that have been made to the FDA. The list of adverse effects is not what the FDA states about a drug's adverse effects (nor what the maker of the drug predicts the adverse effects might be).
****
From your initial post to me (today):
>>>Side effects? Hmmm. let's compare, for instance your tincture lobelia<<<
>>> In 1993, the FDA prohibited the sale of smoking products containing lobeline. Lobelia is a potentially toxic herb<<<
Since it appears you don't (yet) have the knowledge to understand that Lobeline is a laboratory isolated chemical from the plant, and not at all the same as Lobelia (and that you think that by using this comparison, you've somehow made a valid point about Lobelia) - it's time for a bit of education. Lobeline is but one of the hundreds of various alkaloids, phytochemicals & co-factors of one of God's/Nature's most incredibly beneficial herbs (Lobelia). It is so beneficial in so many ways that the ONLY herb which Dr. Christopher dedicated a full chapter to in his book, The School of Natural Healing is Lobelia.
When one takes a natural plant to a chemical laboratory and isolates and extracts only one of the substances in that plant, the resulting chemical is just that...an isolated chemical that is NOT natural and does have serious potential for harm. There are countless types of produce that we all safely & beneficially ingest regularly, but if one were to isolate only a specifical chemical from the produce and 'smoke it', it could cause horrendous effects.
So what the FDA decided & legislated (if that can EVER be considered correct or valid) regarding smoking Lobeline has absolutely nothing to do with Nature's/God's herb of Lobelia (the FDA has not prohibited Lobelia for smoking, tincturing or any other method of ingesting it in it's natural form). And of course, Lobeline also has nothing to do with the Lobelia tincture that my husband and I make from this wonderful herb that is such a blessing for so many that utilize it.
By the way, in case you were unclear, this is a private support forum for herbs & natural healing. Posting lies & misinformation from the FDA & PTB (that commonly villainize God's/Nature's healing herbs), while insinuating the information is true and making veiled accusations of the forum owners & their products) is certainly not 'supportive'. So it's not something that's appropriate for this forum.
A quick review of your posting history shows that you've been posting on CZ for around 4 years, so I'm sure you understand that coming into a private support forum and making wrongful accusations to the forum owners is not something that's tolerated (and certainly not 'supportive'). Because your original posts on this subject matter originally seemed to be made out of care & concern for Joe, I was polite & respectful, and took the time to explain why the insulting & derogatory accusations you made were untrue & unfounded....and hoped that you'd review the posting histories and find the clear evidence of the same.
However ::sigh::: with today's posts you've continued to make wrongful accusations, sarcastic remarks AND present information about the 'dangers' of Lobelia from the FDA/PTB. None of this is appropriate for a support forum and it certainly doesn't contribute to a positive, healing environment. So, I'm going to respectfully request: If you have information that's supportive, positive or contributes to a healthy healing environment, to please be sure and post it (and consider yourself welcome to do so). But if you're contemplating the posting of wrongful accusations, sarcastic/negative comments and/or misinformation from the PTB, then this is not the appropriate forum (and I, or my moderators will find it necessary to ensure the integrity of the forum and delete those kinds of posts).
If you have a personal problem with me, then the appropriate place for posts of that nature is the Personal Conflicts Forum (commonly known as 'the trash can'). If you do post in the 'trash can', I will address those issues there IF I have all posters answered here and don't have a better way to utilize my time.
All done this!

I have to respond to this thread Doc10 because you have made several accusations that are just NOT true! On July 28th, 43 days ago Joe posted about his broken ankle. 39 days ago I told him what he needed to take in order to heal his bones faster curezone.com/forums/fm.asp. He has been given the correct advice many times by Uny and others on this forum since then. The sad fact is that when a person is in fear, they don't always do the correct thing. Yes, that was his choice, we all have free will.
Joseph good for you for making up your own mind. He has ALWAYS made up his own mind, from the very first time he started posting here. Antibiotics are way over prescribed, agreed but in the case of issues like yours, we are so blessed to have them. I certainly don't consider taking antibiotics being blessed, no matter what the issue. Under NO circumstance is it EVER a blessing to ingest poison, it's more like a curse! Thank God, for once the medics have it right. I strongly disagree!! Joe could have healed himself naturally had he taken the advice that was given, people have been taking garlic for hundreds of years to ward off infection, but you have to take enough! The advice that has been given on this forum has not been made up by Uny, it has been given by the greatest natural healers of our time and been proven effective. Your intuition is to listen to them. I agree. Joe, like everybody else has to do what they think is best for them however, we would be remiss if we didn't tell the truth of the matter. How many cases like yours has Uny healed, not many I'd guess, more than you can imagine! and to mess around with your future is so unfair. Uny is NOT messing around with Joe's future! He asked for her advice and she gave it! Nothing unfair about that! It's not her fault he chose to ignore it.
The message she just sent you blew me away. Like she won't be your friend anymore, she never said that, those are your words! just buzz off with your antibiotics. Again, she never told him to "buzz off with your antibiotics", those are your words! My God, talk about kickin a guy when he's down. I guess if you perceive that telling the truth is "kickin a guy when he's down", oh well, so be it! You have done so much changing to be her friend, I'm sorry but I've just got to LOLOLOL at that statement! Joe HAS done a lot of changing but it has absolutely nothing to do with wanting Uny to be his friend, it has to do with his learning to be his own doctor and learning how to heal his body, he has learned alot on this forum. And Uny is not here to be anyones friend, she is here to teach people how to be their own doctor! This was so uncalled for, Uny has done nothing that was uncalled for at all! you are a good guy who is taking antibiotics, a sin? I think not... that would depend on one's beliefs, for me YES, it would be a sin, I would certainly NEVER put something that I know is poison in my body!
I'm a regular here, when I check in to cz I read everything. I saw Joe's posts from day 1. I have to say that if you've read every single one of Joe's posts since day 1 and posted what you've posted in this thread, then maybe you've forgotten them. You are still being unbelievably unreasonable, most likely devastating him. I would never do that to somebody I cared about, regardless of whether they followed my instructions. Not a good thing Uny, no matter how you slice it... Maybe you haven't read every single one of Uny's responses to Joe's posts since day 1, because if you had, you couldn't possibly have said what you've said about Uny in this thread!
One question, what is more important, that Joe has loved you all, from even before his accident, that you all have been his source for many things. OR that he adhere's to the bitter end to every instruction Uny gives him. I think we have already established that Joe does what he wants, when he wants, no matter what advice he is given and his posting history bears that out! WTF? Talk about uncalled for, this is what I call UNCALLED for, bigtime!!!! He is your puppet, he must do exactly as you say or be ostracized??? Joe is nobody's puppet and he is NOT being ostracized! He is being told the truth, it's his decision to believe it or not! Uny is not here to demand that people believe her, none of us are. If you read everything that's posted on CZ like you said, then I'm sure you've seen that Uny has spent more time on Joe, teaching him, answering his questions, and showing him love than she has spent on anybody since the forum opened. All of our forum members have seen this, even when Joe's reactions to the truth have been caustic to many of our forum members, not just Uny, we have all loved him because that's just how we roll 'round here! For you to step in and spew untruths about Uny is just plain WRONG!!!
The bottom line here is that we are NOT politically correct on this forum, we tell the TRUTH, no matter what anyone thinks! Isn't that what Jesus did? YES it is, He was NOT politically correct, He told the truth, ALWAYS!!! Did everyone like it? NO! Did He stop telling the truth because some didn't like it? NO, He did not!
Unbelieveable...and so much more tolerant than MSM, oh yeah... I'm sorry you feel that way because the truth of the matter IMO is that someone who wants to learn how to heal themselves naturally couldn't find anyone better than Uny to teach them, she is loving, kind, compassionate and she is a fantastic teacher. We can always depend on her to tell the truth in every single instance! From time to time in life we all have to face the fact that the truth sometimes hurts because we aren't ready to hear it, but we are always better off knowing the truth!
Regardless of what you say, we love Joe, and we will always tell him the truth!

Our Apothecary now benefits hundreds of people (worldwide) every month. It is a labor of love that we have willingly undertaken to ensure that anyone that desires can obtain very high caliber herbal & nutritional products at the lowest possible cost. It is NOT "ours" - it was entrusted to us by a much higher power. We are merely the laborers and the stewards...a responsibility we take extremely seriously.
Since (I assume) you do not buy/sell/give herbs to others on a regular basis, you are likely not aware of many risks involved in doing this...and what we must do to protect the Apothecary and ensure it's ability to continue making available the high-caliber natural herbal & nutritional remedies that every human on this planet deserves. When we offer 'gifts', much devoted time, prayer & discernment must be utilized, as there are many 'hungry mouths' and very little to go around. Since you (again assuming) have never walked even a mile in our mocassins, I find your wrongful accusations to be extremely judgmental (and quite frankly, insulting).
One question, what is more important, that Joe has loved you all, from even before his accident, that you all have been his source for many things. What is most important is that Joe has been given the opportunity to learn the truths of natural healing, accept or reject them, and utilize them (or not) according to his own discernment; and that my husband and myself continue to be responsible stewards & managers of what we've been given responsibility for, while doing our best to set aside our own personal needs and/or desires in order to ensure that those who are truly 'in need' can get what they need so desperately to heal themselves. Obviously, giving products to someone who doesn't (now) appear to have the confidence or knowledge to use them properly was a mistake in our discernment (after all, we are far from perfect, just like everyone else).
OR that he adhere's to the bitter end to every instruction Uny gives him. There's no need for wrongful accusations. I have never indicated or insisted that Joe must 'adhere to the bitter end' to every bit of knowledge I have shared. The posting history reveals that truth quite plainly.
WTF? I might ask you the same, except we all do our best here to respect everyone's spiritual and ethical beliefs. That type of cursing is not appropriate in any type of a healing environment, and I ask that you respect that and not repeat it.
He is your puppet, he must do exactly as you say or be ostracized??? Unbelieveable. The only thing that is unbelievable is that someone that claims to have read the entire posting history would falsely accuse (both Joe and myself) of such inaccuracies. Joe is NO ones "puppet" - he is a full grown, responsible man that is perfectly capable of making his own decisions, and does so regularly. In no way did I ever indicate that he (or anyone else) "do exactly as I say or be ostracized". That is truly a falsehood.
...and so much more tolerant than MSM, oh yeah...that'd be the Mainstream Medicine that forces the parents of children to subject their precious children to being injected with volatile poisons and burnt with radiation if they develop cancer; the Mainstream Medicine that regularly carves into human bodies (the temple/home of our/the Spirit) and barbarically yank out organs instead of healing & restoring them; the Mainstream Medicine that uses the tissues of unborn babies in their "vaccines" and bamboozles parents into believing they "must" innoculate their children?
Your accusation is totally unfounded. Do I care enough about each person on this forum that I refuse to kowtow to the PTB and succumb to weak, ineffective, 'politically correct' attitudes & methodology? YES! In this demented world, is saying the truth deemed to be a 'revolutionary act'?...that many times offends people? MOST CERTAINLY! And will I kowtow to you (or anyone else) when they make false accusations and attempt to utilize (what appears to me to be) playground harrassment to me or other forum members? NOPE!
If only you could walk a few miles in our mocassins and read the wondrous email testimonials we receive from those that are curring themselves of cancer and other incurable diseases, I think you'd understand a lot better what is at stake and why it's SO important that we continue to speak the truth and be solid stewards of the Apothecary...no matter what you (or anyone else) accuses us of falsely.

Joe,
I'm sorry you're scared, I understand it though so I'm gonna give you my thoughts on the matter ;-) When you went to the doctor a couple of days ago and they gave you the cream to put on your leg, if the infection was so bad that you were in danger of losing your leg, don't you think that the doctor would have immediately admitted you to the hospital and hooked you up to an IV with antibiotics right away? I would think that's what they would have done if they even thought you were a tiny bit in danger of losing your leg.
And then there is this:
The Ortho MD's PA-C wants me to do nothing but wash the wound in warm water & soap daily, and apply sterile bandage to it.
I would think that if they thought you were in danger of losing your leg they'd want to be doing a little more than washing the wound in warm water and soap and applying a sterile bandage to it. I'm pretty darn sure they'd have you in the hospital!
And this:
What I really fear right now is the Ortho MD I have to see at 1:30 PM wanting me to be admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics.
You were at the doctor's office today and he sent you home. If he thought you were in danger of losing your leg he would have admitted you to the hospital.
I think that doing some EFT might help to alleviate your fears, heck, I know it would help! ;-)
Uny would like to know the name of the bacteria the doctor told you you have. Also, she would like to know if you have or have you had red streaks going up your leg toward your thigh. She's asleep right now but she'll be up later tonight or in the wee hours of the morning.
Try to stay calm Joe, do some EFT and give those precious kitties some lovin', that'll take your mind off the fear of losing your leg because if you really think about what I've said, it does make sense. There is no way those doctors would have let you leave their office if they thought you were bad enough to lose your leg.
Get a good nights sleep, things will look better in the morning. I'm headed there myself lol ;-)
Blessings,
Willow
Just a few quick thoughts for consideration.
Regarding osteomyelitis, from Mayo Clinic:
Signs and symptoms of osteomyelitis include:
Fever or chills
Irritability or lethargy in young children
Pain in the area of the infection
Swelling, warmth and redness over the area of the infection
Sometimes osteomyelitis causes no signs and symptoms or has signs and symptoms that are difficult to distinguish from other problems.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you experience worsening bone pain along with fever. If you're at risk of infection because of a medical condition or recent surgery or injury, see your doctor right away if you notice signs and symptoms of an infection.
I want you to know that I believe (as long as you keep taking at least 6 cloves of garlic daily), while keeping an eye on the wound (for increased swelling and 'infection smell'), that the likelihood of developing a deeper infection is extremely minimal...particularly if there's no fever. Of course, whenever a bone is broken along with surgery, there's a possibility of a pathogen entering into the bone...but this is very uncommon (and from what I know/understand), virtually impossible IF you're taking plenty of garlic every day.
Before I'd lose a leg, Osteomyelitis would have to develop [bone infection]. I don't know why you keep worrying about 'losing a leg' when you've seen the physicians since you recognized infection...and none of them seem worried that you're going to lose your leg! If they thought you had osteomyelitis, they would (almost assuredly) admitted you to the hospital and started you on IV antibiotics. I think (maybe?) you'd feel a LOT better if you'd pop in a couple of the Natural Healing Crusade DVD's and watch them while you're relaxing. Remember, Dr. Schulzes hand was burned to the bone (actually burned/charred the bone itself and had the bone/s exposed). I'm eating a lot of garlic and I plan to keep it up. My circulation is good, and I plan to make it better tomorrow by exercising. The Tx for Osteomyeltis is long term Antibiotics. I guess it's not hard to treat, but I don't want long term meds. Good! So be sure to keep taking your garlic until you're "out of the weeds" and you shouldn't have any problem. If I ever got this, I'd probably refuse the antibiotics and stay home and eat lots of garlic You should be eating lots of garlic now to make sure you're not going to "get this". I'm not on antibiotics long term, just for 2 weeks at the max. I'm not wanting to be an antibiotic person. If you don't want to be an 'antibiotic person' then just make sure you're doing everything you need to do to not need to take antibiotics. And if you've got any extra time on your hands (and want to), do some 'googling' and post some information for everyone about garlic and bacterial infections. That'll help you AND everybody on the forum, too :)
I haven't found the type of bacteria yet, if they have it at all. I never had red streaks. If I were you, I would definitely find out if the doctor KNOWS the type of bacteria that is/was present. If he doesn't know what kind of bacteria it is/was, he doesn't know what kind of antibiotics to prescribe. There's certainly no sense in taking a drug that's not going to be effective for your type of bacteria.
You're right, I'm taking things out of context, worrying that the worst case scenario with come true. I guess I'm a big baby. I need some EFT. Thanks for replying. And don't forget...worrying & stress makes us weaker, not stronger. We need to be wise (and alert) but worrying & stressing doesn't help anything at all.
I may go on a juice fast for a while. I think it would do me some good and help me heal. Juice fasting is WONDERFUL! Be sure and let us know all your tasty juice combinations if you do (everyone's always wanting to know everyone elses favorites :)
Blessings (always) -
Uny
So be sure to keep taking your garlic until you're "out of the weeds" and you shouldn't have any problem.
I will, and thanks for the info and reply. I plan to be eating a lot of garlic for quite a while. it might do my HCV some good too.
That's a cute photo. :) Glad to see the re assuring words. Now off to have garlic for breakfast, or with breakfast. You're right, it really can burn the mouth when you try to eat it like candy. I've been mincing it and adding it to food.
I think I need to give it a few days before the redness around the wound starts to fade away too. Friday was the day I increased garlic to at least 6 cloves. The 3 or 4 cloves I'd been taking probably helped but probably wasnt enough to make it act like an antibiotic.

I agree that worrying doesn't amount to a hill o' beans. Feeling down can't be helped at times, but that too doesn't help anything. What helps is lots of garlic and plenty of Ech tincture. :)
