Clean products to use for treating a deck?

Hello, we have an older wooden deck that is in dire need of sanding and treatment, but my partner is reluctant to use anything that wouldn't be food safe since we grow food nearby. Can you recommend anything to stain or preserve a wooden deck? He wants to use tung oil but we've had poor results using it to preserve wood deck furniture.

Gallstones / My friends wife is an idiot

She believes in the craziest theories, never listens to anyone else, and is very naive and not very liked in our groups of friends.

I’ve always relied on alternative health myself, but with her talking about alternative methods around other people we know, I feel like if I ever was to suggest anything alternative to them ever again they will not trust me, because of her.

My friend called me the other day telling me they are on a cleanse and are passing a lot of gallstones. Given his wife always buys the scam, I’m wondering if this is true? And hoping at least it’s not a harmful cleanse they are on, as he is already in poor health.

Book: Pharmaceutical drugs, & drug therapy for alternative healthcare providers

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, alternative health practitioners are increasingly finding themselves at the crossroads of traditional healing practices and modern biomedical therapies. 

As more individuals seek holistic approaches to health, it becomes imperative for practitioners of alternative medicine to be well-versed not only in their own modalities but also in the pharmacological agents that dominate contemporary medical practice.

As the lines between different healthcare disciplines continue to blur, the need for collaborative and integrative approaches to patient care becomes ever more apparent. “Pharmaceutical Drugs and Drug Therapy for Alternative Health Practitioners” is an essential resource for those who embrace a comprehensive and informed approach to health and healing.

This book will equip practitioners with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the complexities of modern pharmacology, ultimately fostering a more harmonious and effective healthcare environment for all.

My daughter (26) is having health problems due to post birth control withdrawal. Any holistic methods to cope these?

She stopped her birth control pills and now suffering from headaches, back and knee pains, fatigue, forgetfulness, stomach pain… also afraid of having severe pain when her period comes back supposedly in a couple months (because it had been painful before she started birth control). Are there any good holistic methods to make her body go back to the natural state and ease the discomfort? Also, how long do these symptoms last usually? I want to help her but have no experience with birth control…

All ailments are on my right side, weird?

Is it strange or does it have a meaning? Maybe in Ayurveda or in a spiritual health perspective?

I have a sciatica type pain on my right lower back that goes away with NOT sitting, bad right knee, slight shoulder pain (from computer), stiff right neck, painful right neck pressure point, when I get sick my right half of my face and scalp gets sensitive (something to do with nerves). All on my right side! I am only 30 and some of the ailments started a long time ago, knee ~17, back ~20, shoulder this year. No Jim Jones juice and very healthy so I’m not sure what it could be. Maybe it could be a skeletal system issue…?

Ozone Bay Area

Hey all, I tried ozone treatments before overseas and had noticeable positive effects. It's legal here in California, but very hard to find. I live in San Francisco and am willing to travel anywhere in the Bay Area, for someone who does ozone insufflation at a reasonable price. (Thinking less than $200 a treatment) The only 2 places I found were thousands of dollars, and one was IV only, at $2400 a treatment!! I'm open to any small clinic or practitioner who feels confident using it. You can buy an ozone machine for home use, but have to understand how to use it properly so it's safe. So... long story short... ANY RECS FOR OZONE INSUFFLATION IN THE BAY AREA CALIFORNIA?? Thanks so much!!

Native American Remedy For Arthritis

Some Native American Tribes, like the Sioux, used a Decoction of Echinacea pallida roots for arthritis. (Borchers et al., 2000)

Studies show that Echinacea has beneficial anti-inflammatory effects on the body and may be effective in relieving pain and inflammation in knee osteoarthritis. (Gatta & Mitchell, n.d.)

Echinacea may not be safe for women who are pregnant or nursing, or people with certain medical conditions. (Gatta & Mitchell, n.d.)

The safety of prolonged use of Echinacea is still unknown. (Gatta & Mitchell, n.d.)

Consult with your doctor before taking Echinacea.

The Brain can Heal the Body

Did you know that your brain can heal most ailments in your body without any pills or machines? Yes the brain has your entire DNA map of every single cell in your body. It knows how every cell is supposed to behave. When cell misbehaviors (chronic illness, pain, migraines, infections, autoimmune, etc) occur, the brain has the potential to correct those errors through frequency which is the main communication between the brain and the body. This can be done by reading or listening to codes that point out those errors.

And that’s where Haley comes in. She’s a new practitioner here who is fluent in quantum physics and frequency and can help pin point exactly what codes the body needs through muscle response testing. She absolutely loves what she does and loves seeing people heal and is inspired by their stories. That is the ultimate reward for her. She runs a frequency clinic and so far has a 99% success! http://thefrequencyclinic.weebly.com/#/

Anus cancer

L.S.

A dear friend of mine was just diagnosed with anus cancer. She is too emotional and scared to do research, so I am doing it for her. I have successfully beat cancer naturally, but this specific cancer may have some of its own peculiarities, alt treatments or remedies.

Any useful advice and suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance!

Amenorrhea and ED

Hello everyone! I'm in recovery from a restrictive eating disorder which caused me to lose my period. I'm being followed by multiple doctors, (tradicional medicine) and they all say that to cure amenorrhea I have to gain weight (which I don't doubt) and for now, to take birth control.

The thing is, I've seen multiple testemunies of other girls who have been though the same that even after fully recover, they didn't get their period again or during multiple years. I belive that normal doctors might not be approaching the question deeper enough and I was wondering if you might recommend me something to do while restaurant weight.

About the birth control, I'm not very confident about taking it (it has been 7 months since I've started it) but the gyne said that I could get serious bone and uterus problems if I refused.

Anyway, thank you all and be safe <3

This Question and the context of my post is going to sound weird but how do women who usually have an average body build during most of their life transform into like bodybuilder,muscular build/ for like 24hrs and then get their body back completely normal like before? That’s crazy?!?

Specifically that happened d to a middle school female teacher I knew 5 years ago. I felt very shocked about the quick transformation back then.
