3 day Sinusites congestion cured instantly with Cayenne Tincture and Quantum Minerals Plus drops

by

This afternoon my father in law complained he had been suffering from sinus congestion for 3 days, it was frustrating for him.  I said I had remedies that can cure him of his problem instantly.  It must have been pretty bad, he was receptive to both of my suggestions.

First suggestion was to use Quantum Minerals Plus drops.  It was in the kitchen counter ready and waiting for anyone to use.  I shared his own daughter’s discovery, my sister in law, that a few drops of Quantum spread on the forehead and nose bridge will immediately clear sinusitis.  So my father in law did so immediately, it only takes a few seconds to put it on.

Second suggestion, use the cayenne tincture I just recently made last January 27.  It was not mature yet, but it will have to do for now.  All you need is 1/2 teaspoon under your tongue and your entire body will heat up, blood will flow, and mucus will flow.  My father in law took to the cayenne tincture immediately without any hesitation, the sinusitis must have been that bad.

A few minutes later he was all smiles.  All that suffering for 3 days, now his sinusitis was gone instantly!

Cayenne tincture helped save my 98 year old grandfather from pneumonia, so what’s a little sinusitis?

The cause of his recent sinusitis, he recalls it must be his recent business trip and he stayed in a new hotel.  Maybe they sprayed the hotel room with one of those irritating disinfectants, or artificial odors.  Maybe.  The imporant thing is this sinusitis is history.

Cheese is constipating, address it with virgin coconut oil

by

Last month a late Christmas gift arrived for my wife.  3 different types of round Dutch cheese and a big slice of another kind of Dutch cheese.  Hmmm… I have fond memories of european cheese.  I remember my trips to France and in a buffet I would rather stuff my face with the various French cheeses rather than the main course.  Now I remember, I became constipated in France too!

Anyway, curiosity and fond memories led to experiment with this dutch cheese.  Experimenting is easy for me.  My current diet is a raw paleolithic diet: raw organic fruits, raw organic animal food and at a high raw fat low carb ratio.  So I’m all well and fine and healthy.  In comes the dutch cheese, 1.5 table spoon size every evening , and to hopefully prevent suspected constipation, I eat my cheese with 1 tablespoon yellow grass fed butter.  I had a wonderful and happy flashbacks savoring the cheese.

Results came in fast.  After 3 days I felt the familiar signs of constipation.  This Friday morning upon waking up I took 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil.  Then drank lots of coconut juice and lots of coconut meat.  I felt the reflex of wanting to poop.  Uh oh… the 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil was inadequate.  I suffered in the toilet bowl for some 15 minutes.  Very bad.  I got back up and took another dose of 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil and more coconut juice and walked around.  The next round of poop came in and I found relief.

So lesson learned is it takes 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil for me to be relieved of constipation.  And cheese really is constipating.  I transferred the cheeses to the other refrigerator and gave it away to the maids.  I am certainly not giving any cheese to my children.  I can cope with constipation problems  easily.  I’m a big boy.  But the children?  Spare them, please.  When a new food arrives, parents should try it themselves first before giving it to their children.

Made a new batch of Cayenne Tincture this New Moon of January 2009

by

Today is new moon day.  January 27, 2009 just after Chinese New Year.  Nice day for me to have picked to make a new batch of cayenne tincture.  I still have my old batch of dried cayenne pepper and a new batch of fresh ripe cayenne… the Thai variety, very cheap at 80 pesos per kilo.  I also bought some cheap vodka, Cossack Vodka at 60 pesos per 0.7 liter bottle at 80 proof x 3 bottles.  I also got 2 RC Cola 1 liter bottles, had to buy the cola and gave it to the maids to drink.  They appreciate junk food.  I appreciated the new bottles.

The method I did was to:

1) fill 1/3 blender container full of dried cayenne pepper.  Put in enough vodka to just a little above the line of the dried cayenne pepper.  Close the blender jar. And pulse.  Pulse. Pulse.  Then pour the blendered dried cayenne and vodka into a pitcher.

2) fill 1/3 blender container full of fresh ripe cayenne pepper.  Put in enough vodka to just a little above the line of the fresh ripe  cayenne pepper.  Close the blender jar. And pulse.  Pulse. Pulse.

3) Pour the blendered dried cayenne pepper with vodka into the blender again mixing it with the blendered fresh ripe cayenne pepper.  Then fill up with more vodka.  Pulse a few more times.

4) With a funnel, pour mixture into empty bottles.  I used 4 bottles this time.  Filling each with approximately 1/2 liter of the cayenne tincture pre-mix.

5) Store the 4 bottles in the wine cabinet and we will wait for at least 1 month before bottling them in little bottles with droppers.

Why time my cayenne tincture making during the new moon?  Experience by herbal tincture makers say your cayenne tincture will be more powerful if you make it during the new moon.  So I did.

I felt better, more confident once the job of blending the cayenne and the vodka.  With new cayenne tinctures waiting to just ripen.  It feels good that we are again ready and prepared for any problem in the future,  whether it be breathing difficulties, heart attacks, strokes or severe colds.

My previous and very first batch did very good things when I gave it away as a christmas present to many friends and relatives.  The best reward was when I gave a whole bottle to my 98 year old grandfather who was dying of pneumonia but me and my cousin helped save him and the cayenne tincture was part of that success.

My 7 year old has tummy ache, reported a worm in poop this morning

by

Last week it was my 7 year old boy’s turn to have tummy ache problems.  He missed 2 days of school,  Thursday and Friday.  At first sign of tummy ache, I gave 1 teaspoon of Barefoot Herbalist dewormer in 1/4 cup of water every morning before breakfast.

His tummy ache symptoms would subside.  But I made the mistake Friday evening when I arrived just after he had a dinner of chicken arozcaldo (chicken and rice porridge), I got to taste a most wonderful avocado, the first good avocado of the season.  I got him interested and he got half an avocado and combined it with honey.  Immediately afterwards his tummy ache worsened again… bad food combination this time.

During the times he had tummy aches I would implement mono eating on my boy and that made him feel better.

One early morning at 3am when he felt hungry, his mom made the mistake of feeding him fish and rice.  Which he vomitted a few hours later.  3am is no time to feed anyone hard to digest things.  It is not the correct time for eating.

Since Friday every early morning my boy would wake me up at 4am to poop.  He comments that the dewormer was strong and it makes him poop.  This Monday morning at 4am he woke me up again to poop.  Before I washed him he said he saw 1 black worm about less than 1 inch long writhing fast in the toilet bowl.  I looked for it but he said the worm sank.

So after washing my boy I thought it was time for some deworming again.  This boy had taken humaworm for 30 days 2 years ago.  Last year he took barefoot herbalist dewormer for 30 days.  And we have barefoot dewormer as stand by for suspicious parasite related symptoms like these lately.  So around 6am I ordered another batch of dewormers from humaworm.com: 1 batch for myself and 1 batch for my boy.  It arrives in 7 days.

I would like to add that in my surfing for opinions on dewormers I found an insightful comment from Dr. Kenneth Sutter as he does not make dewormers, he merely uses them:

Humaworm is great stuff but 30 days is NOT enough. Do Barefoot’s DeWormer for the 90 days between of Humaworms protocol. Flush every two weeks. Stay on Humaworm every 90 days though it’s a little better at getting the parasites outside the digestive tract. In other words do them both.

That quote and idea applies to me. I think I’ll do that. I’m thinking about it. In the meantime I’m formulating my order for a new batch of dewormers plus other items from Barefoot.

My 4 year old gets ugly bleeding gash at sole of foot cured by dried cayenne pepper

by

Just before dinner last night I heard my 4 year old daughter scream in pain in the adjacent house. Now as a hands on parent I know what screaming in pain is, there is a possibility of real injury and you had better find out quick where the injury is. Luckily I have a good ear when it comes to children’s talk. My daughter pointed to her right foot. I had her sit and show me the sole of her right foot. There was a big ugly angled gash carved out on the sole of her foot, some 1 centimeter on each side.

Immediately her 5 year old brother explained that my daughter had stepped on a playing block. Then I noticed they had tied ribbon strings on a small 2 inch lego type block each and were playing fishing. Unfortunately my 4 year old girl stepped on the block at a bad angle while barefoot and thus the resulting gash.

Presence of mind. Where is that dried cayenne pepper bottle? It should be in the kitchen rack… and it was. So I opened the cayenne pepper bottle and grabbed a palmful of dried cayenne pepper and slapped it on the bleeding gash under the sole of her right foot. Our cook was nearby and I asked for a hankerchief. With my wife holding our girl, my cook helping me tie the hankerchief on her right foot to keep the dried cayenne pressure on the right sole of her foot.

Our 4 year old did not seem to mind nor care that we did put cayenne pepper. She found some relief but still could not walk on it. So we had dinner, she lost her appetite and only had a mango for dinner. She had to be carried to bed and she wanted to retire early. Her nannie put a sock on her foot to keep the hankerchief and the dried cayenne pepper intact.

Next morning at 6am my 4 year old daughter asked that the sock and the hankerchief be removed. She said she was fine. I did remove her sock and hanky and inspected her wound. It was obviously still there but she said she could walk fine with it.

Now that is the power and the speed of cayenne pepper. Locally we call it “sili”. A lesson was imprinted in the minds of my children, that when you have a wound, the very first item to reach for is cayenne pepper. To stop bleeding wounds, dried cayenne pepper. For puncture wounds, get fresh cayenne pepper and jam it in the puncture wound.

Here is a picture of our dried cayenne pepper.

We visit the fish port at 4am to buy fresh fish without formalin preservative poisons

by

My cook and I visited the Paranaque fish port at 4am yesterday Saturday with the goal of getting big discounts, buying fresher fish than the wet market, and buying un-poisoned fish – fish without formalin and food coloring which is allegedly popular when dead ocean fish is transported from the fish ports to the wet markets.

My principle in choosing sea food, is it should be sea food – not farmed in fish ponds – I mean ocean wild food.  I believe that our oceans are one of the last bastions of superior nutrition left on this planet.  The oceans are certainly more nutritious than the overly farmed lands of the planet.  Land animals will only be as healthy as the soil they live on.  But how many wild forest animals are available in our markets?  None really.  But ocean animals… we have them in abundance.

My cook and I left home around 3:10 am.  We arrived at the Paranaque fish port at 4am.  still dark.  We immediately had a parking spot waiting for us.  We had a styrofoam container with us.  I had 2,500 pesos budget and we finished it all that day.  We were greeted at the entrance with a man selling fresh large whole tuna, tangigue, dorado and some normal sized squid.  Inside there was more, more, more… it was mayhem.  Informal sellers everywhere, barking, pushing pails, lifting wholesale amounts.  Most buyers were re-sellers in the markets, we were just buying for personal consumption, but we had a big house hold so we sort of qualify.  Maybe the budget of P 2,500 pesos will last us for 2 weeks?

What were we able to buy?  A 7 kilo yellow fin tuna never blast frozen, a whole tangigue, a whole dinorado, some squid, some small octopus, an eel, many different types of smaller sea fish.  I’m glad our cook was with me, she knew what was fresh and what was not.  It was a wet affair.  I think we need to wear boots next time.  My rubber shoes need washing.

We later explored the Bacoor Cavite wet market and found it bountiful with sea food as well.  It was just for exploration purposes, I didn’t have any money left.  I just bought 3 kilos of cauliflower.

We were home 6am.  Had to have the fish cleaned and prepared for storage.

At 9am I had the cook prepare a cooked coconut milk meal with the eel.  “Ginataang igat / palos”.   It was my first time to eat eel so forgive me if I have to cook it first time.  After that  I took a nap

At lunch we cooked the stew of the little octopus with its black ink.  Along with the cauliflower we made into “rice” for the children.  And the fresh raw tuna for sashimi.

Ah yes… tuna sashimi that was never blast frozen tastes bloody great.  I pigged out.

At dinner I just had a mango to socialize with the family.  I was still stuffed.

It was a rewarding but very tiring day.  I think I should only do that once a month.  We will see.  I have some pictures of our bounty!

Many safer alternative tools to antibiotic drugs

by

In our raw paleolithic forum I made a post about many alternatives to oral anti-biotics in trying to cure a foot infection. This is a short list of what I came up with as tools in our family arsenal.

I really do not like drug company anti-biotics as they are dangerous stuff and the side effects can be disastrous. They are objects of last resort to me. Doctors prescribe anti-biotic drugs because that is the ONLY tool they have in their arsenal.

The world has a lot more tools than drugs. These are some that I know and use.

If you want to use garlic, I would crush it, put it on a piece of plastic with virgin coconut oil / extra virgin olive oil, then stand on it under the soles of my feet. Do this 10 to 15 minutes. That is how I administer anti-biotics to my family.

Another method we administer anti-biotics is via ingestion of 1 drop oregano oil in 1 liter of water. Or you can use 2 drops of super concentrated oil of oregano in the water. Dip your feet in it. If you can stand stronger, add more oregano oil drops. Oregano oil is powerful stuff, do not drop it undiluted on your skin! I get my super strength oregano from www.barefootherbalistmh.com

Another anti-biotic is electronic, we use a zapper from www.worldwithoutparasites.com which can be locally placed wherever we might have a problem. Helped our family many times too. Like my little girl who had neck pain. http://www.myhealthblog.org/2008/04/12/possible-meningitis-for-my-daughter-zapper-to-the-rescue/

Clove oil is another antibiotic you can merely splash on your feet / skin. Powerful stuff. Gets rid of pests. I got my clove oil from a nearby Indian grocery. (Indians from India)

If you have festering puncture wounds you can cut and jam in freshly pounded cayenne pepper and it will work really fast. Actually if I step on an iron nail, cayenne pepper jamming is the first thing I would do.

Another cheap and easy anti-biotic for feet is hydrogen peroxide. What we have in our stores is a 10 or 20 volumes solution. Mix 50% with water. Dip feet in it for that anti-biotic treatment.

Another is silver… colloidal silver… put in a spray bottle and spray on the spot to your heart’s content. Spray and spray and spray.

What kind of disasters are we talking about regarding antibiotic drug use? Oh the usual candida, yeast infection and sudden death syndromes…. really bad side effects… potentially fatal… sometimes the cure is worse than the disease in the case of drug type antibiotics.
