Wonders of Wonders
Yesterday I spent a pretty much all day on this computer, doing not much really anything of importance. Just wandering around, visiting other blog pages, doing random research of whatever happened to pop into my head. I worked on making a banner but got frustrated with the program I was using and gave up. I forced myself to stay up so I could watch the new episode of Enterprise (I am a huge SCI-FI fan) witch is in its final run come may, and being that I don’t have cable, I have to rely on local stations for this benefit. Unfortunately this benefit means that Enterprise is on at 1:30am in the morning. I have been having problems with my VCR spitting tapes back out at me whenever I try to record something, so I stay up in order to watch. Needless to say by the time Enterprise was over (good episode btw.) I wasn’t really tired enough to go to bed, but my knees and neck were hurting me, most likely from sitting in front of the computer. Don’t ask me why I do this, because really I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter if I sit on the couch or in a chair, I cross my legs Indian style.
Earlier in the evening I had been sparring around doing some ‘light’ research on apple cider and peroxide remedies actually looking for the doses to put into a bath. In a nutshell, taking a bath in this stuff is supposed to be very therapeutic, as well as detoxifying. I generally don’t take much stock in homeopathic remedies; however I have been using apple cider vinegar for a week now to help combat my acid reflux disease instead of relying on the prevacid that was prescribed for me by me doctor. You have to understand that I have ARD so bad that before I started taking the prevacid I couldn’t even drink a soda without having severe heartburn, to the point of having dry heaves in some cases. I suspect that my ARD is due to in large part the various medications I have taken over the years for my HIV; however I don’t really have any proof on the matter. Anyhow, after reading some information concerning the use of apple cider vinegar I started taking it twice a day mixed with honey to see if it would stop my ARD. I was shocked, am still shocked, but I only took my prevacid ONCE last week, and that was because I got up late and didn’t have time to mix the cocktail up without being late for work. I had read on one of the websites that you should wean yourself off the prescription; however I haven’t had any ill side effects since using the apple cider vinegar at all. In fact, I have also been using it on my face at night before I go to bed to help keep those nasty pimples down, and it has shrunk a couple of cysts that I have to the point where I have actually to look to see them. (Actually I’m not sure if they are cysts or warts, but either way, they are going away.) It stings a bit when you put it on your face, and it doesn’t smell all that great either (but the smell does go away in about 5 minuets) but, hey, if it works it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than spending that big money on the other stuff. I also have problems with tension headaches, and while there were a couple of times this week I thought I was going to have to break down and take some Aleve, instead I took a shot of the apple cider vinegar (straight) and within probably about 5 minuets the pain was gone. (If you do this make sure you either rinse your mouth thoroughly or brush your teeth. The acids from the vinegar will ruin the enamel on your teeth.) It does upset you stomach a bit, but it doesn’t last long either. The taste is awful, but the reward is great.
As I said, I was a bit sore from sitting here all day so I thought I would try the old apple cider vinegar bath. One website said you should use 1 cup of vinegar per 60lbs of weight, but no more than 4 cups. Well, being I have never done this before, and I had just taken my nightly dose of my cocktail, I didn’t want to go over board, so I only used 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and a ½ cup of regular 3% pharmacy peroxide, mixed with a few lavender bath salts. (To get rid of the cider vinegar odor) The water is supposed to be as hot as you can get it. I got in, and it was almost as if instantly I felt better. It was so relaxing and soothing, I couldn’t even believe it. I’m not real big on baths, mostly because the tub isn’t very big and it’s hard to actually get comfortable in there, but WOW! You are supposed to stay in there for 30-45 min so the vinegar and peroxide can absorb into your skin, I think I was in there maybe 25 min. I was afraid I would fall asleep because I was so relaxed and end up waking up in a tub full of ice cold water. When I got out my skin felt great, I had a rosy glow, and I was relaxed enough that I got in bed and fell right asleep. That in itself is a big deal for me because I regularly have problems sleeping, and to fall asleep like that after getting out of a hot tub that would normally wake me right up, I was astounded to say the least. That isn’t even the tip of the ice burg. On the back of one of my legs I have a big blue vein that sticks out; it’s ugly, gross, and downright unattractive. When I was putting on my lotion, I noticed that it had shrunk!!! I still can see the blue, and part of the vein, but this sucker was one of the long ones, and now it’s maybe ¼ the size it was before. I’m in shock. I think my next bath I will use 2 cups of vinegar and the same amount of peroxide to see what happens. (You should be careful when using store bought peroxide; ideally you should be using diluted food grade peroxide.)
I strongly urge due to my results that anyone who suffers from migraines, heartburn, burns, colds, and sinus infections, whatever to do your own research on it and check out the link for Earth Clinic. I have a few other links I’ll be putting up as soon as I can, however it may not be today. It’s laundry and house cleaning day for me, so let me take care of the mundane first and I’ll try and get those links up as soon as I can. After the success I have had with the apple cider vinegar, I am so excited to try the peroxide and colloidal silver remedies. Unfortunately food grade peroxide and colloidal silver are not as inexpensive as apple cider vinegar, and I have to make sure the bills are paid first, so it may take a while for me to actually have enough money to get some. :( I had hoped to at least get some peroxide out of this last check, unfortunately I forgot I had to pay the old tax man so my funds are limited this go around. I’ll keep you updated and I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!
