Vitamin B3 did not work

My wife got the results of her cholesterol test it was 9.2 so the vitamin B3 did not seem to work, she now needs to take statins and could be on them for the rest of her life to protect her from heart attack, clots and stroke. I would like her to take garlic oil 4000mg per day first to try and bring down the cholesterol naturally however I think she is going to follow her GP's advice and take the statins. Also I am worried about my own cholesterol as I to am taking the vitamin B3 however I am taking 2000mg of garlic oil supplements. Will let you know what happens.

Started taking Colloidal Silver

I started taking the Colloidal silver today. There was an immediate reaction I seemed to have more energy and my cough was a little dryer, and the wheeze  was not as bad. I began to think is this my imagination so I try ed my puffer, as I call it. This is a measure that you blow into to measure your puff, my wife and son can measure about 550, but I usually blow about 320-350. If it goes down to 270 I need to go to my GP. The reading was 350, not a huge difference but at least I felt better.
I tested some Colloidal silver on one of my finger nails to see if it would kill the fungal nail infection. I will need to wait a little to see if this natural remedy is working.                

Amazing watercress

Watercress is cultivated for its leaves, which are mainly used in salads and are rich in vitamins A and C, Zinc and iron. The plant is also rich in potassium, calcium, phosphorus, with good quantities of iodine sodium and magnesium.

Although the healing powers of watercress have long been known, recent scientific studies have shown that it can inhibit the growth of some cancerous tumours. New research has revealed that fresh watercress contains high levels of PEITC ( phenethyl isothiocyanate ), which neutralizes a dangerous carcinogen in tobacco called NNK and one study indicated that the consumption of 60g of fresh watercress three times a day for three days will help to protect smokers from lung cancer. For more lasting protection, this process can be repeated once a month.
A tea prepared from the leaves can strengthen digestion, increase urination, and cleanse the respiratory system by releasing phlegm and mucus. Watercress is also recommended for the treatment of catarrh, anaemia, weak digestion and gout.
CAUTION: excessive or prolonged use of watercress may cause kidney problems and should not be used in pregnancy. Also it is very important that the watercress is fresh as much watercress grows in polluted waters.

When the Illness Tide Turns

Wait a minute. I'm the sick one here. I have the mysterious pain condition that gets me a first class ticket on the medical specialties train. You ask me how am I doing today. You notice the slightest blip in my demeanor and wonder if I forgot to take my meds again. You come to my medical appointments with me to be my buddy and my memory.

Richard got the news from his cardiologist that his heart is showing signs of enlargement. We have known he has a congenital valve issue and that some day (in a galaxy far, far away I always thought) he would need heart surgery. Over the past couple of months he has had blood work, worn a twenty-four hour halter heart monitor, had a treadmill stress test, and had a two and a half hour cardiac MRI (which experience his brother describes as akin to being in a coffin on a construction site). We are lining up the specialists for him.

The worry-vane is now being spun about by his condition. I had grown used to him being the allay-er of anxieties and the carrier of hope for my recovery. It's been a long time since I thought of him as fragile in any way. He has a damn black belt in Tae Kwon Do ! If that's not a guarantee of longevity, even immortality, then what is?

I am, of course, doing my best to show him the amount of concern he can tolerate and the level of optimism I truly feel. I am feeding him beets and spinach and kiwis and quinoa. He has, with my quiet acquiesence, taken over control of the TV remote control device. I try to make him laugh. I hold him close.

I don't like this new equation. I'd prefer to be the sufferer than the one bearing witness, helpless to make it all better. We have, thankfully, lived long enough so that the illness tide is turning, and Richard is getting swamped. In my heart, I do know that one thing we excel at is holding hands and rowing together. It's my turn to build up some calluses.

Has this kind of turn ever happened in your relationship?

Does my way of reducing cholesterol work.

I feel much better today so I think the vitamin C and Manuka honey worked. My wife found she had higher levels of bad cholesterol than normal so her GP gave her a diet sheet with the hope that she could bring down her cholesterol level naturally High cholesterol can lead to heart disease. However during the time up to her next test she has continued her same diet but added the supplement vitamin B3 (Niacin) 100mg per day. Sometimes this can give you facial flushing due to arteries being opened by the vitamin B3, however this has reduced as she has got used to taking the vitamin. So now that she has had the blood test it will be interesting to see the results as she has continued the same diet. If her high blood cholesterol has reduced then it should prove that vitamin B3 has naturally reduced the cholesterol.

Taking the vitamin B3, as I do, would be safer than having to take medication as there are lots of side effects. I will keep you up to date with what happens. Results are expected next wednesday.

I am going to try Colloidal silver

  I had been diagnosed with bronchiectasis by the chest specialist at the hospital. It would seem that there had been some damage to my lung which would only get worse if I where to have more infections, this could lead to pneumonia and could be fatal. I checked on the Internet to see if I could find a natural way to cure  bronchiectasis and I found the following article which was of interest concerning Colloidal silver.
In this particular case, a young boy was first diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at age two, and over the ensuing nine years grew worse and worse in spite of intensive medical treatment.
By the time he was 11, physical exertion left him struggling for breath due to the severity of his lung infection and his condition had deteriorated to the point that his doctors referred him for heart/lung transplant assessment.
Because doctors had documented serious infections in the boy’s lungs, and because aggressive IV antibiotic therapy administered by the boy’s doctors had proven to be futile, his parents began to look into alternative remedies for the infection.
Small Daily Amounts of Colloidal Silver Eliminated His Lung Infections and Restored His Life
On the internet, his parents found information about colloidal silver and began treating their son with small daily amounts, approximately 1/2 teaspoonful, twice a day.
According to the study authors below, “Over the next three months the patient achieved a sustained improvement in symptoms, which persisted following weaning from oral steroids, nebulized antibiotics and regular asthma medications. “
In other words, thanks to the success of the colloidal silver usage, the boy’s parents were able to start weaning their child off of the harsh prescription antibiotic drugs.
The boy enjoyed what his doctors called “a sustained improvement in symptoms,” and was able to enjoy a skiing holiday, full participation in school rugby matches and even “significant improvements in his golf handicap.”
In other words, the boy went from being barely able to breathe, to returning to an almost normal, active boyhood life!
The child apparently had one further relapse after experiencing a “temporary interruption of colloidal silver [usage] for a month.” Then, according to the doctors, “He has remained well for a further six months after resuming colloidal silver, with no other changes in his routine care.”
Doctors Cautious About Recommending Colloidal Silver for Cystic Fibrosis in Spite of the Evidence
The doctors, of course, are duly cautious about recommending colloidal silver usage for Cystic Fibrosis patients, even though it was they who documented the child’s startling recovery from the severe symptoms of the disease.

Of course this article refears to Cystic Fibrosis which is a far worse condition than mine. However further studies on the internet have shown that Colloidal silver will distroy bacteria like antibiotics, but Colloidal silver will also cure virus and fungal infections. With my nails being the ways they are I am sure there is a connection between the nail infection and my lungs. So I am going to give Colloidal silver a try, without my GP's permition I will let you know what happens.

Broken Heart Syndrome

Broken heart syndrome -- not just an invention of romance novelists. Takotusbo cardiomyopathy, or sudden heart failure linked to extreme stress, is also known as broken heart syndrome and is most prevalent in post-menopausal women. The heart receives a flood of stress hormones that causes ballooning of the left ventricle, chest pains, shortness of breath, and an irregular heartbeat. An especially stressful physical or emotional situation, such as a traumatic injury or the sudden death of a family member, can set off an attack.

Richard and I have joked that we want to die at the same moment at the age of 90 while scuba diving of Grand Cayman Island. Neither one of us wants to survive the other for very long. What follows is a sad-sweet story of a long-term partners who died minutes apart from each other.

"James and Marjorie Landis of Westmont, Pa., were married and inseparable for 65 years. They died this week just 88 minutes apart.

Marjorie, 87, passed away Monday after a long illness.

James, 88, died an hour and 28 minutes later of a heart attack. He was at his wife's side when she died.

"The last thing he said to her was, 'It's OK. I love you. We had many good years goether. I will see you real soon,'" said the couple's granddaughter, Erin Miller.

'I just think he died of a broken heart. I don’t think they could have lived apart from each other.'

The cause of the death of bereaved longtime spouses, the study found, can be a condition known as takotusbo cardiomyopathy or sudden heart failure linked to an emotional experience. Some experts have dubbed the condition 'broken heart syndrome.'"

Now cracked fingertips

Following my post about the problem with my finger nails. At this time of year,ie in the cold weather, I suffer from cracked fingertips which although may seem very trivial is actually very painful. It is truly amazing how much you use your fingertips. I am using them now as I type out this post. So I went in search of natural ways to cure and heal this condition. I found that vitamin E oil may help as may Nizoral shampoo, used to wash the hands about three times per week. Also aloa vera oil may help in the healing process.

Other natural treatment that I could try is tea tree oil although put straight on to the split could be a little painful. No I have just tryed it and it does not hurt. I thought that perhaps, one of my favourite healers, Manuka honey may help however it is rather an expensive way of treating the condition. Please add your natural cures for cracked fingertips in comments. Thank you.

Please diagnose me

Today I went to dermatology at my local hospital about the problem I have with my finger nails and toe nails. They  are similar to the image above only a little worse, nails broken and white areas covering the nail, some areas of the nail are thick with nail as if it where growing up and down rather than straight out. The senior registrar took all my details bearing in mind the problem with my chest, my stomach ulcer and hiatus hernia.
I have had this condition now for about ten years and doctors do not seem to know what it is. A fungal nail infection seems likely however it seems to be not conclusive. The senior registrar took nail and skin samples and asked me to come back.

I have tried my own methods of healing the natural way such as using Tea tree oil, vinegar, aloe vera, but I have not tried the more obscure natural healing methods such as vicks vapour rub and WD-40, not together of course If the hospital are unable to cure my nail problem then I will continue to look for natural treatment. I may even use diagnose-me.com, an online way of finding my illness. I will keep you posted about the outcome.

What Happens When the Caretaking Partner Gets Sick?

She is in her late fifties. A financial planning executive with a successful bi-coastal business that requires frequent flying and rushed meals. While not athletic, she has always been active. In that out-of-nowhere way that illness sometimes hits, she came down with a systemic infection that flattened her and almost literally took her breath away. Sitting exhausted her, and any activity left her panting for air. She has been treated for the past six months with a combination of antibiotics, steroids, and rest. She is not who she was, and is still discovering who she can be.

Her husband has been a loving and attentive caretaker. He took charge of their interactions with the world - from grocery shopping to medical specialist hunting. When she was too exhausted to shower, he bathed her. He went to every doctor visit with her and remembered the information she was too distracted to hold onto. Her job was to rest and recover. He took care of everything else.

Then, he was clipped by a car while riding his bicycle. His ankle was broken. Now he is in pain, and his mobility is severely limited. And he feels rotten - for himself and for the ways in which he can no longer help her.

They are trying their best to be kind and loving to each other; that has always been their way. But pain and exhaustion take a toll on the best intentions.

They have a community of friends who are pitching in to help. And they have an excellent collection of take-out menus from restaurants that deliver.

Underneath the practical and emotional strains, they are strong, and they are scared. A lot - like laundry and work projects - doesn't get done. They look to the future for signs that things will get better because the present is one big ball of uncertainty and hurt.

Have you ever been in the situation where the caretaking partner got sick or had an accident? How did that affect your living situation? And what helped you cope?

One simple natural cure

The media has been reporting about the importance of sunshine. Are we getting enough?. If not then that could result in our bodies not containing enough vitamin D, and as a result of that we could be at the risk of getting illness like heat disease or even cancer. The following article was in the Daily Mail.

One nutrient is generating excitement in the medical profession: vitamin D.
Low levels of the ‘sunshine vitamin’ have been linked to conditions ranging from colds to heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and cancer.
Last week, it was reported low levels may be linked to cot death.

Yesterday came the news that vitamin D can boost fertility in men and women.

Vitamin D not only helps the body absorb calcium (vital for healthy bones), but also plays a part in the immune system by helping reduce inflammation in the body.

So perhaps supplements of vitamin D may help, but a word of warning don't overdose on the vitamin as that can do more harm than good.
