Someone might have already mentioned salt. This thread is long and my brain is weak, so I hope I'm not mentioning something somebody else has already said, but what about salt? I see that there's a salt water flush right post right above this, but has anyone tried salt on lesions?
I know that you shouldn't take Morton's internally, but I think it's ok for extrernal uses. Has anyone tried it on lesions? I don't have lesions, so I can't say if it works, but I think it probably would help. Just put it right on the lesion and leave it for a while. Hoping it will help, but I don't know.
I do know that Morgs hates salt. Again...I caution against using salt internally, especially toxic salt, like Morton's, but externally I think it would be fine. Has anyone had success with it?

11/22/2010 Toxic metals found in cartoon drinking glasses www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40309111/ns/health-kids_and_parenting/"Drinking glasses depicting comic book and movie characters such as Superman, Wonder Woman and the Tin Man from "The Wizard of Oz" exceed federal limits for lead in children's products by up to 1,000 times, according to laboratory testing commissioned by The Associated Press. Federal regulators will decide whether the superhero and Oz glasses are "children's products" and thus subject to strict lead limits; if U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission staffers conclude the glasses to fall outside that definition, the lead levels would be legal."  |

Watching this video, I see that Propylene glycol is to be avoided. This guy is saying that 'Prop' anything is equal to a cancer agent... starting at around 2:30 on this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJSfwp8_E-wen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol"Propylene glycol is used: As a solvent in many pharmaceuticals, including oral, injectable and topical formulations. Notably, diazepam, which is insoluble in water, uses propylene glycol as its solvent in its clinical, injectable form.[5] As a humectant food additive, labeled as E number E1520 As an emulsification agent in Angostura and orange bitters As a moisturizer in medicines, cosmetics, food, toothpaste, shampoo, mouth wash, hair care and tobacco products As a carrier in fragrance oils As an ingredient in massage oils In hand sanitizers, antibacterial lotions, and saline solutions In smoke machines to make artificial smoke for use in firefighters' training and theatrical productions In electronic cigarettes, as a vaporizable base for diluting the nicotine liquid As a solvent for food colors and flavorings As an ingredient, along with wax and gelatin, in the production of paintballs As a moisture stabilizer (humectant) for snus (Swedish style snuff). As a cooling agent for beer and wine glycol jacketed fermentation tanks As a non-toxic antifreeze for winterizing drinking water systems, and in applications where the used antifreeze eventually will be drained into the soil, water, or a septic system.[6] As a less-toxic antifreeze in solar water heating systems As a solvent used in mixing photographic chemicals, such as film developers In cryonics As a working fluid in hydraulic presses As a coolant in liquid cooling systems To regulate humidity in a cigar humidor As the killing and preserving agent in pitfall traps, usually used to capture ground beetles As an additive to pipe tobacco to prevent dehydration. To treat livestock ketosis As the main ingredient in deodorant sticks. To de-ice aircraft.[7] As an ingredient in UV or blacklight tattoo ink As a lubricant in air conditioning compressors. Animals Propylene glycol is an approved food additive for dog food under the category of animal feed and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS[25]) for dogs.[26] Similarly, propylene glycol is an approved food additive for human food as well.[27] The exception is that it is prohibited for use in food for cats because of a species-specific reaction in the body, as noted in 21 CFR 582.1666. Allergic reaction Research has suggested that individuals who cannot tolerate propylene glycol probably experience a special form of irritation, but that they only rarely develop allergic contact dermatitis. Other investigators believe that the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis to propylene glycol may be greater than 2% in patients with eczema.[30] Patients with vulvodynia and interstitial cystitis may be especially sensitive to propylene glycol.

From some research we've been doing lately, it is imperative that we take antioxidants !!! It looks like our disease process is escalated from an oxidative burst situation caused by free radicals. MSM looks very good - In crystal or powder form - not tablet form. You can add DMSO for lesions, just be careful what you mix it with! Goldenseal... looks very promising. Vitamin C... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antioxidant Antioxidants should help keep the internalized particles from turning into the 'others'.(And, sweating and exercise are probably a good thing, and stopping smoking.) |

www.powersupplements.com/anti.htmSo what is dangerous about free radicals? Unstable free radicals do everything they can to get another electron and become stable again. The problem is that they will rip away an electron from a normal cell in the body. This can cause serious damage to the the normal cell. Basically, what is happening is that your body is rusting! I know, this sounds pretty disgusting - but scientifically it is the same process. Free radicals can cause oxidation inside the body. Here are just some of the diseases linked to excess free radicals: Aging Various Cancers Coronary Heart Disease Arthritis Autoimmune Diseases Alzheimer's Parkinson's Disease Cataracts What causes free radicals to form in my body? To a certain extent - free radicals are just a part of being alive. It is estimated that every single cell in your body gets attacked by a free radical about 10,000 times a day! As we get older the number of free radicals increases. In your lifetime you will probably produce over 17 tons of free radicals. There are certain activities that cause the body to produce more free radicals. Here is the really bad news - exercise and bodybuilding can greatly increase free radicals! I know it sounds crazy - working out is supposed to make you more fit. The problem is that any process that produces stress and increases the intake of oxygen can lead to an increase in free radicals. As you know - working out then has two strikes against it - it is stressful and greatly increase our oxygen intake. Other factors that lead to high levels of free radicals are: smoking tobacco, direct sunlight, smog and pollution and foods high in fats and sugar. What foods do I need to eat to get Antioxidants? Fruits and vegetables contain the most antioxidants. The problem is that when we process fruits and vegetables many of the antioxidants are removed. So, even eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables can not guarantee you will get enough antioxidants - still it is a good place to start. What is the best Antioxidant to take? The best way to fight free radicals is with a collection of antioxidants. There is not one single antioxidant that is most effective. In order to be effective there must be a team of antioxidants all working together. When you supplement with with a teams of antioxidants you will find that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Working out increases the number of free radicals in the body. These free radicals can leave you feeling sore, weak and more prone to injury and sickness after an intense workout. You may notice that your endurance starts to drop off and you have a harder time recovering from a tough workout. You may also get sick more than you did before you started working out. These are all signs that free radicals have shifted the balance in your body to a state of oxidative stress." Not strenuous exercising... that's good news. ;D

I sure agree Kammy. That's why I too have been screaming
about taking antioxidants.
They're just about the only thing to help protect our cells
from the daily bombardment of "free radicals" within everything
we ingest.

They're just about the only thing to help protect our cells from the daily bombardment of "free radicals" within everything we ingest. Good idea, Toni - I think that's the best advice to follow... I'm seeing where all these volcano, fires, oilspills, mines exploding, industrial pollution are forming free radicals in the environment too... what creates free radicals? www.wisegeek.com/what-are-free-radicals.htm"Some processes brought about by free radicals are inevitable, such as aging, but others can be prevented, like destruction of DNA or clogging of arteries. Free radicals are created by environmental pollution, cigarette smoking, and poisons like cleaners or herbicides. Their role in certain types of cancer, strokes, and heart disease is still being investigated. Preliminarily, low concentrations of free radicals have been associated with a reduced risk for heart disease and stroke, but more studies are needed to understand their relationship." |

From this article. Keeping an eye on what you eat is the easiest way to reduce free radical damage. Are you eating meats that come from a toxic environment, or have a diet full of highly synthetic and processed foods? Is your diet lacking in antioxidant rich foods like fruits and vegetables? By sticking to an all-natural (or close enough) diet, you not only get your fill of antioxidant foods, but reduce the amount of processed and unhealthy foods that can cause free radical damage. www.betterbodyjournal.com/wellness/how-free-radicals-are-killing-youPS there's lots of kinds of antioxidants to take, one that "good ole Swansons Vitamins sells too is": Grape seed extract with Pine Bark and green tea. That's all in one little capsule too.  |

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents worth in and suggest Happy Tummy as a good cleanse. I've started it again and it sure does clean you out good! It's all natural too! Here's the link for those of you who want to cleanse yourselves every now and then... www.mountainroseherbs.com/tea_bev/tea_bev.php#ht_t_htOnly thing is you need to stay in close proximity to your bathroom when you take it! It's also good to only take it for a few days in a row... maybe twice a month. love ya's ~~ bannanny |

Since we're being more quickly oxidized by the ever-increasing air pollutant chemicals - it might be wise for all of us to wear some sort of antioxidant skin/facial cream, especially when we are outdoors. That goes for the men too... I'm not sure which ones are best... avoid 'nano'?
When we look at some of the Hollywood stars, we can see that they don't seem to be suffering from this at all, their skin looks great. We know they have the big bucks to throw at skin products, though, wonder what they are using?

Kammy, also if anyone smokes, it's good to wear an antioxidant cream all the time cause the pollutants created in the air we're breathing too daily is stressful on us from the inside out. Here I go again, hahah with Swansons. One reason, they're inexpensive, and they work well. Pycnogenol Antioxidant Cream and Alpha Lipoic cream - both Swansons sells. They're not Swanson's brand, but Swanson's sells many different brands. There's Antioxidant Neova too (my fav) but...it's pricey. For daily use the two above I mentioned are "imho" the best bang for the money. And they're good antioxidants for topical use. |

Ty, ty, Toni - I knew some of the ladies would know... Yes, Pycnogenol ! Very good for us as a supplement too!
When choosing products - look for the buzzword 'antioxidant'...
I've never been one to use facial creams much, I USED TO BE a natural beauty... lol, so I don't know much about the products.
(It's time to start taking this serious, we can't get by with just our natural skin to protect us in certain places and conditions.)

You're welcome ;D
Pycnogenol I take daily too, have for many years, and
when I found Swansons sells Pycnogenol face cream
I then began using that (since morgs) and it's really nice,
because it doesn't irritate and it feels nice too.
