Natural Remedies

In an ever changing world, it is always nice to keep some old remedies on hand. Here in Ecuador, I like to keep my recipes for remedies that I personally use and have had good results for me and my friends. And I especially like them if I can grow or resource the ingredients here locally. 

​

Though I use a lot of essential oils, I find that the infused oils with organically grown plants/herbs work the best.  

Healing

Anti-Inflammatory

  • Ginger

  • Cayenne Pepper

  • Oil for infusion
     

Infuse oil for 48 hours with Ginger and Pepper. Strain out solids and store oil in dark glass jar away from sunlight. Use as needed to reduce inflammation. Great for arthritis.

​

If you use coconut oil for the infusion, then it will solidify a bit on the shelf which can make it easier to apply to inflamed areas.

for Bug Bites

  • 50g coconut oil, melted

  • 10g jojoba oil

  • 12g beeswax

  • 5g activated charcoal

  • 3g Bentonite Clay

  • ~20 drops of Grapefruit essential oil

 

This easy recipe draws out the toxins. Simply combine wet/dry ingredients, the combine. Stir well and pour into a clean lidded jar. Store in a cool dark place. This goes on black and will rub off .

for Headaches

  • 2 tsp. coconut oil

  • 4 drops Frankincense oil

  • 4 drops Lavender oil

  • 4 drops Peppermint oil

 

Combine ingredients in roll-on bottle and apply as needed. The peppermint oil really cools off the forehead and provides much needed relief.

Dental

Toothpaste

  • 1/2 cup bentonite clay powder

  • 3 tbsp.  xylitol powder

  • 4 tbsp. coconut oil, melted

  • 20 drops mint oil

  • 20 drops tea tree oil

  • 30 drops concentrace minerals

  • 3 tbsp. soft mineral water

Mix dry ingredients, then wet. Combine slowly until smooth. Add more water after it sits for a while to desired consistency. 

Mouthwash

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tsp. baking soda

  • 5 drops peppermint oil

  • 1 drop lemon essential oil

  • 3 drops tea tree oil

  • Combine ingredients in small glass jar, then shake vigorously until baking soda is dissolved. Add additional essential oils to adjust taste.

Teeth Whitening

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • hydrogen peroxide 
     

  1. Add the baking soda to a small cup or container, then add just enough peroxide to create a paste in the cup.

  2. Scoop out enough on your toothbrush to get started cleaning your teeth and gums. I usually have to go back and add more from the cup to continue on through my entire mouth.

This is not a one time process, but something that should be done every few days or once a week. It will whiten a bit at a time and leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean. I will often brush my teeth regularly after the treatment, just beause I don't like the flavor left in my mouth.

Skin Care

Scalp Treatments

Got an itchy scalp, try one of these methods to ease the itch.

​

  1. Easiest method is to warm up some coconut oil and massage it into the scalp. Let it sit for a few hours, then wash it out. 

  2. Dilute honey with warm water and massage into scalp, then gently rinse with warm water after a few hours.

  3. 10 d tea tree oil + 10 d peppermint oil + 1 tbsp. coconut oil. Massage into scalp and let sit for about an hour, then rinse with warm water.

  4. Massage aloe vera gel into scalp and let sit for about an hour, then rinse with warm water.

Mint Apple Toner

  • 1/4 cup fresh mint

  • 2 tbsp. ACV

  • 3/4 cup soft mineral water

Add ~20 drops of mint essential oil if mix is not minty enough.

Infuse mint and ACV in glass jar for 7 days. Strain liquid into a bowl, then add water to the mixture. Stir well and pour into a clean lidded jar. Store in a cool dark place.

Aloe Moisturizer

  • 1/2 cup aloe gel

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil

  • Vitamin E

  • Essential Oil

  • Dash of Olive Oil

Congestion

Typical Neti Pot Solution

  • 1/2 cup salt

  • 1/2 cup baking soda

 

Mix together and add to a container to keep near your Neti Pot. You only need to use about 1/2 to 1 tsp per flush. You can also add a few drops of Eucalyptus essential oil to the neti pot just before use. I find this helps keep the airways clearer for a longer period of time.

Neti Pot Solution +

  • 1/4 tsp typical Neti Pot solution

  • 10 drops liquid ivermectin

 

My experience on the article that I read which listed using 1/8 tsp to 8 ounces of warm water. 
Day 1: I tried this on the first day and it was a bit much, maybe I can gradually get to that level. Very uncomfortable feeling.
Day 2: On the second day I used 3 drops in the NETIPOT with warm water. This was not quite as bad, but it does burn a bit. I was not able to use the full NETIPOT due to the discomfort. 
Day 3: Success! A friend said to keep the baking soda solution and add the ivermectin to that solution. So, I used ¼ tsp of the baking soda/salt solution and added 10 drops of the ivermectin. I could still feel the ivermectin in there, but also the solution seems to cover more of my sinus cavity. I can feel it behind my eyes and in my ears as well. Since starting, I had stopped taking the allergy meds. I am going to continue down this path to see if I can now stay off the constant allergy meds without getting an infection yet again.

Mucus Solution

  • 1/2 lemon juiced

  • 2 tsp. honey

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1 cup warm water

 

Mix together warm water, honey and cinnamon until combined. Then add remaining ingredients. Drink Solution.

Virus:
     Epstein-Barr

Feb 2024 Joe had a recurrence of EBV, this time worse than the last time, confirmed with blood tests. A few weeks into the infection is when we began looking into what we can do to prevent EBV outbreaks and try to get the symptoms under control as they seem to be getting much worse with each outbreak. With much research, we ended up doing a round of Ivermectin. On this first day of starting the ivermectin protocol, he actually was experiencing fever, muscle and joint pain, lymph gland pain, and of course complete lack of energy. After reading the various studies that were not censored, I found great results with ivermectin. After the first dose, his fever went down and he started feeling better. We are on day 3 and he is experiencing some of the toxins created from the virus cell death. However, overall he is feeling much better and energy level has definitely improved. 

​

After taking the full course of Ivermectin for 10 days, symptoms did improve, however after a few more days we noticed that some of the energy level had fallen off. Therefore, a longer course of Ivermectin would be be best. 

Dosage Used

  • Studies limit dosage at 10-day course
    3d at 2x per day
    remaining 7 days at 1x per day

  • Many people are taking the horse paste over the tablets since the paste is more potent than the tablets. 

  • Take medication without food. Either 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after a meal.

  • ** If it appears again, I would take 12mg of Ivermectin twice a day probably for at least 30 days.

Lifecycle

  • Studies indicate that the virus has a 6-week lifecycle. However, the dosage should kill off the virus enough to put it in remission. 

  • I have read no studies showing longer dosage would add value, though many people are continuing the medication for long periods of time.

Diet

  • I found no definitive studies showing a proper diet for one to follow, all seem to lean towards diet dogma instead of science behind specifics.

  • On study indicated that EBV is an inflammatory virus which seems to make since because on the blood tests that Joe took, his inflammatory markers were all up.

  • If the virus is an inflammatory virus, then common sense would indicate that you should be on a low inflammatory diet. No sugars, grains, peanuts, etc.

Eye Drops

  • This one is just for my own curiosity. There are testimonials out there that indicate that you can get rid of your floaters by using this ivermectin eye drop recipe. I have a few floaters, but not that bad. So lets see what happens...

​

14-April-2024

  • Initially the vision is more cluttered. I had a little cluster on the right side that has been there for years, but that was disrupted on the first day. It is like whatever you had in your eye was dislodged and is now floating more freely in your eye.  For me, the first day I could visibly see more random parasites floating all over, but then become less visible. I now have to face the sunlight, eyes closed, for a few minutes, then I can find them again. What looks to be the head is thicker, but it also is starting to fade. 

Ivermectin Eye Drop Recipe

  • 1/8 tsp. sea salt

  • 2 tsp clean warm water

  • 1/2 mil 1% ivermectin liquid

Dosage

  • I am putting one drop in each eye 2-3x per day.

  • NOTE: I am also taking 12mg Ivermectin tablets twice a day while doing the eye drop experiment.

Diet

  • I found no definitive studies showing a proper diet for one to follow, all seem to lean towards diet dogma instead of science behind specifics.

  • If eye problems are due to inflamation then common sense would indicate that you should be on a low inflammatory diet. No sugars, grains, peanuts, etc.
