I am pretty excited to report that today I went to my dermatologist for a follow up appointment. In a previous blog I had mentioned that he had wanted to do a biopsy on my nose and left forearm for some suspicious looking lesions to rule out basal cell and squamous cell cancers respectively.
When I arrived, the biopsy kit was all laid out, with my name on a specimen cup. However, when I told the doctor that I attempted a cure with garlic and how I did it, he not only seemed quite interested, but surprised that it might have worked. He carefully examined both sites, then told me they look good, that there is nothing in the appearance of them to necessitate, or even suggest, a biopsy. He stated that it appears like freshly healed skin, which is exactly what it is since I finished the last treatment with garlic less than two weeks ago. Both sites are rosy colored, flat, and smooth. The doctor said that the rosiness should gradually disappear, and to just watch the areas.
Just to recap what I did: I applied tiny slivers of fresh garlic to the actual lesion only and covered with a bandaid. I started out doing it twice daily, leaving it on the whole time. I did this for 3 days, and then on the 4th day only for 5 hours in the morning. On the fifth day no garlic because both lesions had a scab. When the scabs fell off I repeated the processbut only at night, leaving the garlic on while I slept. I was kind of making it up as I went along, just doing what made sense. On the internet I had read to do it until it scabs over three times. The third time I did it, the skin appeared mostly fine before final treatment, and then reacted very little to the garlic; unlike the first time when it reacted quickly.
Anyway, it was a pretty interesting experience, and I avoided the knife! I really credit that doctor for being open to new things and not scoffing at me and alternative measures. And this is serious business because I was warned by my prior dermatologist that I could lose my nose.

For Crying Out Loud in the Mud
I once heard one of my mom's friends say that when I was a child. I thought it was so funny, that she added "in the mud"!
Anyway, that was my thought today when I came across a list of foods that gluten intolerant people may not be able to eat due to cross-reactivity because of a similar "molecular signature". Now understand this. I was looking for answers to why I might have been having GI issues even though I was being very careful avoiding gluten. And dairy. And corn. The latter being one that I have more recently discovered that I react badly too. I had added rice to that list and had been avoiding that as well. But then I had the opportunity to eat it.
I started doubting myself. Maybe I am a weird hypochondriac. Maybe it is okay to eat some of these foods that I am denying myself. So Wednesday I ate some of the forbidden. NO, not the forbidden three: gluten, dairy, corn. Just a little inocuous grains like quinoa and brown rice. Why can't a person eat some rice, for heaven's sake. Then on Thursday a couple of gluten-free, dairy-free cookies made with some rice flour that a friend bought special for me. Then on Friday some twiggy pretzel-like grain things. And on Saturday, I wasn't feeling so good. Sluggish, increasingly belchy since Wednesday. Nauseated. No appetite. Sunday worse. Gastrointestinal distress galore.
So, today I started doing more research and what I came across was that there are a bunch of other foods that gluten intolerant people may not be able to tolerate because the molecular structure is so similar to the gluten molecule; therefore if you eat one of these foods your body may mistake it for gluten.
This is where I start crying in the mud. Or thinking about driving my car off the road. Just thinking, fleetingly. Here is the list: coffee (groan, deep gutteral groan), chocolate (ouch), quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, tapioca (feeling of despair, what will I thicken things with), rice (oh no!), potato (what???), corn, sesame, hemp, and yeast. There are more in the dairy category, but I already divorced myself from those, so, not worth mentioning.
What do I do? Do I eliminate all of the above for a time and see what happens? Funny thing is that I have suspected not feeling well after yeast, buckwheat, quinoa, potato, tapioca, rice, and of course corn, so I think will start with that. Chocolate is iffy. I probably should add that to the list.
Sheesh! It almost seems like too much. For crying out loud in the mud! But, bottom line, I am pursuing health, and if that is what it takes, then that is what I need to do. And I will do it. Because what is worse, is not feeling functional. And I want to feel good.

Garlic Saga
I have found that I have missed blogging. For two reasons. One is I like writing; it is a nice creative outlet. The second is that when I research information or find something out especially about health, I distill that information when I blog; so that means I can go back to it to remember what I knew. With this memory of mine this is very important.
So I have this thing on my nose that has concerned my dermatologist for a few years. She had me trying Aldara and fluorouracil creams, that is, after she had frozen it a couple of times. Then I was told to watch it. Which I did. Until a couple of months ago when this small spot which had just been intermittenly flaking a flake of skin every now and then, started to flake and bleed. So now I was walking around with a little scab on my nose all of the time, or a bandaid covering it. I babied the thing. But somehow the scab would fall off and it would start bleeding again.
I finally went to a different dermatologist (since we had changed insurance plans) and was told it might be basal cell carcinoma. He wanted to do a biopsy and put a stitch or two in, but I was leaving for Hawaii the next day so asked if it could wait a few months so I could try a natural alternative remedy. He said yes, basal cell cancer is slow growing, that would be fine.
When we got back from Hawaii I started doing research to come up with a plan. There were a number of approaches I could take but the easiest one seemed to be garlic. So sixteen days ago I started putting a tiny piece of crushed fresh garlic on the lesion I had on my nose and covered it with a bandaid. I also did this with a suspect lesion on my left forearm which I wrote about before-my little cancer marker.
The lesion on my arm scabbed up after a few days of this treatment. Then when the scab fell off the area was rose colored and flat. The area had been raised for 3-4 years. It appears the "cancer" fell off.
As for the nose, the garlic caused a crater and every day the crater is filled with a cream colored gook. Now the crater is getting smaller and smaller. The lesion no longer bleeds, whereas before the bleeding would be so relentless I had to use curcumin (the spice) to stop the bleeding (yes, it is very effective for that). I am pretty sure the cream colored exudate is leukocytes (white blood cells) on the attack.
I went to my naturopathic doctor five days ago for something else and told her about my experiment. She was very excited to hear the results and advised me to keep doing what I was doing. She thinks the forearm lesion is cured and that I am on the right track with my nose. I will keep you posted.
Just to explain the nitty gritty a little better: I put a little piece of fresh garlic just on the suspect spot and covered it with a bandaid for 3-12 hours. I started doing it twice a day, now I just do this at night for my nose.
When I started this I also had a little athletes foot problem between two toes so I rubbed garlic there as well. It totally cleared up after 2 days. Then a few days ago I went on the attack on 3 little warts that have been a nuisance for years. One is already turning black which is a good sign, a sign that it is dying.
Anyway, that is my garlic saga. Glad to be back in blogdom.

Coconut Oil and Mono
Yes, mononucleosis is horrible. Not only does the inflicted person feel like death, but he feels like death for a long time. Just to give you an idea how ill Husband was, he lost 20 pounds in the first three weeks. I thought about bottling his saliva for a new weight loss product...nah, too many side effects.
I wrote in the last post that we were trying coconut oil to help fight the mono. There were many anectodotal reports of having mono for weeks and even months and finally the desperate people would try coconut oil and within a few days had remarkable turnarounds. The amounts seemed to vary, but I saw most often 2 tablespoons twice daily. So we started last Tuesday night. Wednesday, Husband actually felt better somewhat, a few levels better, whereas priorly, he had been very gradually feeling a tiny bit better, like his fevers were creeping down to only 101 instead 103 degrees.
I was ready to throw the jar of coconut oil away Thursday though because Husband felt much worse. It was a good thing we continued with this unusual therapy because Friday he felt MUCH better. And more so Saturday and Sunday, and is still continuing to improve. He is also taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, milk thistle, garlic, and a combo echinecea/goldenseal. I figured the former would kill the bad guys while the latter would stimulate the immune system to help out.
The interesting thing about coconut oil and the part that was really compelling for me was that it contains lauric acid. Lauric acid is only found in coconut oil and breast milk. Lauric acid breaks down the protective lipid membrane that coats and protects viruses thereby killing it. Not only is coconut oil good for mononucleosis, but also other viruses such as HIV, meningitis, influenza, herpes, and hepatitis. It is also an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and anti-candida.
Who is keeping this stuff from us???
Other benefits of consuming, well, let me digress for a minute. Some people liberally cook with it, others spread it on toast or stir it in applesauce or just ate spoonfuls out of the jar. We did the applesauce thing. And if you, no, when you buy some, (because you are not crazy are you?) look for the organic, unrefined, expeller pressed virgin coconut oil which costs about $6.99 for a 14oz. jar. At Whole Foods it is in the same section as all of the other oils.
Okay, now other health benefits. It has thyroid stimulating effects. In the 1940's farmers tried to fatten their cows with it, but found instead that it made them lean, more active, and increased their appetites. So, after some diddling around with other substances switched to feeding them corn and soy because those grains had the same anti-thyroid effect as an anti-thyroid drug. What is wrong with this picture!
Coconut oil also lowers cholesterol, they think because it stimulates the thyroid which in turn converts LDL cholesterol via enzymatic processess to anti-aging steroids, pregnenolone, progesterone, and DHEA. These substances prevent heart disease, dementia, obesity, cancer, and other chronic degenerative diseases.
It also increases metabolism, helps absorption of other nutrients, helps prevent and treat diabetes, helps improves bone density and dental health due to facillitating calcium and magnesium absorption, and boosts energy levels and endurance.
Fast facts: Coconut oil is a saturated fat. (But don't let that scare you. However, that would require a lengthy explanation.) It is liquid at 76 degrees F or higher, solid at temperatures lower than that. It has a long shelf life; after one year at room temperatures there have been no evidence of rancidity. It also is a safe oil to cook with, staying stable at higher temperatures. It can be used topically as well.
There is this one sight on the Internet where lots of people sing their praises to the coconut oil health savior. I will include some smatterings: “my mom rubbed it on her liver spot for 2 weeks and it flaked right off”, another stated that the age spots on her face and hands were almost gone and her hair shines and is thickened, as well as arthritic pain is almost gone after 4 months of use, and the weirdest one, a lady's “chihuahua stopped licking her butt” after giving it to her a couple of times a day. It also has been proported to improve sleep, cure chronic bladder problems, helps with irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux, and gets rid of eczema, toenail fungus, and athletes foot. And much, much morel.
So what is stopping you? Quick, go get some. I am trying it for my digestive problems. Let me know if you or any of your animals benefit.

The Demon called Mono
Did you know...
...that an estimated 95% of adults over age 30 have had mononucleosis? Many of them had such a mild case they didn't know it.
...that you are intermittenly contagious for the rest of your life?
...that at any given moment 1 out of 4 adults you come in contact with will be contagious?
...that older adults present with the illness differently than children or teenagers?
...that consuming 2 tablespoons of coconut oil twice daily will reportedly effect a quicker recovery? (This one we started testing out today. So we shall see.)
...that your biggest defense against infection is keeping your “terrain” healthy and strong? Things that weaken are not enough sleep, poor food quality, stress, environmental toxins, and a sedentary lifestyle.
...that the virus is mostly transmitted via saliva, i.e. kissing, sharing cups and utensils, and standing to close to a person while talking. Note to self: Especially watch out for the person who sprays when they talk. And no more of those sloppy, wet kisses! (At least one member of my family will know what that is.)
…that it can take weeks, to months, sometimes a year, to recover. The acute illness usually lasts 2-4 weeks, but then the weakness and fatigue much longer.
Just about everyone who knows us knows that the “flu” we thought Husband was having a couple of weeks ago has turned out to be mononucleosis. Darn, we would take the flu any day. Mono is horrible!
So I am doing what I can to keep my "terrain" strong as well as frequent hand washing, praying, and walking around with cloves of garlic strung around my neck, periodically applying leeches, throwing salt over my shoulder, carrying a rabbits foot in my scrubs, not walking under any ladders, nor breaking any mirrors, nor looking at any black cats...
Just kidding about the last part.

Primal in Kodiak
Here I am on Kodiak, a huge island that is part of Alaska. I had been looking forward to primalness: lots of hiking, fishing, and exploring upper North American wilderness. It was going to be the first part of my 30 Day Challenge with Mark's Daily Apple which the latter I have mentioned before, and the former started yesterday. The only thing I worried about were the bears...instead I should have been more concerned about something much, much smaller. The flu virus. No, I didn't get it. Husband did.
We arrived Saturday night. He felt a little "funny". Then the fever started Sunday, 103 degrees. One sick puppy. Today is Tuesday and he appears to be turning the corner today. There may be some adventure yet. So far we have been hanging around daughter Lindsay and son-in-law Ryan's home, eating healthy food, reading, and watching a couple of movies. And we have been taking a lot of Vitamin C & D.
A couple of interesting tidbits to share. One is that Lindsay and Ryan had colds when we arrived. We were very concerned about exposing them to this horrible flu and were considering going to a hotel. Husband looked on the internet if you can have a cold and a flu at the same time. He found that it is very rare because your body has already mounted an attack on viruses. But I have been wiping everything down nonetheless, and Husband has been careful as well.
The one thing that makes this a little more tolerable is that is poured Sunday night, all day yesterday, and this morning. In fact, all week it is supposed to rain, but I have a gut feeling it will clear up for me. I say the rain has made it more tolerable not because it wouldn't be pleasant slogging it out in the mud because I do have boots and a rain jacket, but because if it were nice and sunny it would be more difficult being stuck indoors.
This is a stupid post because all of that above is the intro and intro's are supposed to be shorter than the actual content. Not so with this one. About all else I plan to say is that yesterday I and a bunch of others, most of whom I do not know, started the 30 Day Challenge with Mark Sisson which is all about eating good meat, good fats, lots of vegetables, some fruit, some nuts and seeds, and exercising, playing, getting enough sleep, and few other healthy things. The one thing I really need to focus on is the fitness part because I have incorporated the other elements pretty successfully so far. Yesterday, since I was housebound, I did some pushups, squats, sit-ups and calf exercises. I am even sore now. Today may be the day I rest. Then tomorrow? Who knows, but it will be as primal as I can make it.
Ya gotta be flexible.
