Protect Your Brain with Coconut Oil

A new technique called oil pulling can keep your mind and body healthy

The headlines in the newspaper could have read “Man Dies of Toothache.” As unlikely as this may sound, it is true.  Boyd (not his real name) was a healthy 54-year old. His only complaint was the sudden appearance of a toothache. The dentist identified the problem as an abscess-an infection near the base of the tooth. The tooth was salvageable, so it was not extracted, and the infection was scraped out of the gum tissue and drained.

That evening Boyd experienced shaking chills and fever. He took an aspirin and felt better the next day. Fourteen days later he developed a severe headache with involuntary twitching of the muscles on the left side of his face and neck. He was taken to the hospital. A CT scan revealed a mass in the frontal lobe of his brain, which was diagnosed as a brain abscess. He was given massive doses of antibiotics and underwent surgery to drain the infection.

Boyd seemed to improve immediately after the surgery. Six days later, however, he became noticeably disoriented and developed swelling on his head. A CT scan revealed the recurrence of the brain abscess. He was given more antibiotics and underwent a second surgery to drain the pus and remove infected tissue including part of his skull.

Iodine and Heart Health

According to Scientific American physicians for decades have grappled with ways to block further tissue damage in patients who suffer heart attacks. They have tried everything from drugs to cell therapy-all with little luck. But promising new research indicates that a biogel made from seaweed may have the healing powers that have thus far eluded them. Some of the principle healing agents in seaweed are magnesium, iodine, and selenium.

Though the main theme here is magnesium medicine for cardiac care we will deal now with iodine and later in the important mineral selenium. Selenium is not only crucial when using iodine but it addresses most directly the Hun Hordes of Mercury that are attacking heart tissues in massive amounts leading to cardiac arrest. Mercury is a deadly cardiac poison whose best antidote is selenium - since they bind together making it easier for the body to remove the selenium-mercury compound.

Another SSKI Miracle - With Hemorroids

Posted in Folk Remedies, Hemorroids, Iodine/Iodide  by admin
Comments Off

Q:  Someone recently told me to try using iodine for help with hemorrhoids. It sounds odd to me, but I’m desperate and willing to try.  Can you tell me how it works exactly?

Dr. Wright: Iodine is an amazing substance.  My family and I have used it for years to relieve a wide variety of both internal and external conditions.  The form of iodine I often recommend is called SSKI, which stands for saturated solution of potassium iodide.

SSKI does indeed work wonders with hemorrhoids.  It can be used alone, but I wouldn’t advise it.  Patients often report a burning sensation on application.  But that side effect is alleviated by combining the SSKI with flaxseed oil.  Simply mix 20 drops of SSKI with 1 ounce of flaxseed oil and apply the solution directly to the affected area at bedtime. Keep applying until they disappear.

Keep in mind that iodine and SSKI do stain skin temporarily and clothing permanently, so make sure you wear something old when using it and handle with care.  Look for SSKI in natural food stores or compounding pharmacies.

Crusador Interviews Dr. David Brownstein

November 13, 2008

 

David Brownstein, M.D. has become internationally known and respected for his excellent research and work on iodine therapy.  He became immersed in the study of iodine as an essential nutrient for health after reading a letter from Dr. Guy Abraham published in the May, 2003 “The Townsend Letter For Doctors and Patients.”  Since that time he has tested and treated well over 3,000 patients with iodine and says the results still amaze him. In his practice he has found that over 95% of those tested have demonstrated low iodine levels. 

Dr. Brownstein says, “In all my years of practicing medicine, I have yet to see one item provide such miraculous effects on the body as iodine does.” In the Foreward to the 2nd Edition of his book, “IODINE, Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It,” he states why iodine deficiency is a far bigger problem than most people realize:

“The reason there is so much iodine deficiency present is not only due to inadequate iodine intake, it is also due to the toxicities we are exposed to on a daily basis. These toxicities include the toxic halides bromine, fluoride and the chlorine derivatives.”

Kidney Stones: Types and Prevention

Posted in Kidney Stones  by admin
Comments Off

Q: I’ve heard that once you have kidney stones, you’re more likely to get them again. I just had one a few weeks ago and the thought of having another one terrifies me! Is there any way to stop them from recurring?

Dr. Wright: Even though kidney stones are one of the most common urinary tract disorders, they are nothing short of agonizing for those who suffer from them.

Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to keep your kidneys free from stones for good. To understand the best way to fight them, there are a few basic facts you need to know about kidney stones. First, two-thirds of all cases involve calcium oxalate stones. Traditional medicine tries to prevent these by calling for dietary calcium restrictions and sometimes diuretics.

But restricting calcium intake isn’t actually helpful in preventing calcium oxalate kidney stones at all. And it could even make the problem worse. Read the rest of this entry »

HEALING HORSE CHESNUT

Posted in Varicose Veins  by admin
Comments Off

For all those conditions nobody wants to talk about.

Offering far more than autumn foliage, horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) has long been valued for its medicinal powers. Substances contained in its shiny, rounded seeds make capillary walls less porous, reduce vascular damage, and stimulate circulation. The bark and leaves have been used to treat bronchitis and whooping cough, and even to protect against ultraviolet radiation damage.

Today, horse chestnut seeds, leaves, and bark are processed to remove any harmful chemicals. The remaining herbal extract contains significant quantities of triterpene saponins, flavonoids, oligosaccharides, sterols, tannins, and other chemicals whose combined effects are a tonic for the veins.

One triterpene saponin, aescin, is considered the principal healing ingredient of horse chestnut seed extract. It tightens veins and helps prevent edema (fluid retention). Read the rest of this entry »

The Missing Hormone That Could Restore Your Hearing

 Jonathan V. Wright, M.D.

Dennis Trune, Ph’D., of Oregon Health Sciences University, pioneered that research showing that the naturally occurring adrenal steroid hormone aldosterone can of then reverse hearing loss in animals. 

Based on Dr. Trune’s work, I’ve had aldosterone levels tested in many individuals with hearing loss (most of them “older”), and an significant number turned out to have low or “low normal” measurements.  But after taking bio-identical aldosterone in “physiologic” quantites, amounts that would normally be present in adult human bodies, more than half of these individuals have regained a significant proportion of their “lost” hearing.
