Bacillus subtilis

For many years afterward, cultures of Bacillus subtilis were sold worldwide as a medicinal product (sold in the U.S. and Mexico, for example, under the brand name Bacti-Subtil), rapidly becoming the world's leading treatment for dysentery and other intestinal problems. Unfortunately for Americans, this popular bacterial supplement that cures intestinal infections began losing favor in the late 1950s and 1960s. The advent of synthetic antibiotics that the giant pharmaceutical companies called "wonder drugs" instead. Even the antibiotics cost five times as much as Bacti-Subtil and took three times longer to accomplish the same results

Nonetheless, Bacillus subtilis remains one of the most potent and beneficial health-promoting and immune-stimulating bacteria. Microbiologist J. Harmann's clinical studies (Immunostimulation by B. subtilis preparations) report the cell wall components of ingested B. subtilis can activate nearly all systems of the human immune defense. They can start at least three specific antibodies (IgM, IgG, and IgA secretion), which are highly effective against many harmful viruses, fungi, and bacterial pathogens that regularly attempt to invade and infect the human system.

Bacillus subtilis is still used widely in Germany, France, and Israel. The health-savvy public more highly esteems safe, effective all-natural therapeutic products than the more expensive synthetic drugs espoused by the orthodox medical establishment with all of their dangerous side effects.

In short, the incredible Bacillus subtilis, commonly found in the outside environment rather than in the human intestinal system, has continued to benefit humanity ever since its unusual discovery by the Germans in 1941. What's more, it is only one small example of the multitude of "friendly" microorganisms which can create tremendous benefits for humans when ingested, even though they are not necessarily "native" microorganisms to the human body.

Case-1, when I mentioned Bacillus subtilis story with my coworker, it didn't suppress her at all. She said: "my mom made us drink horse p**p when we got diarrhea in our childhood. The stuff can stop our diarrhea right away". She came from Guatemala, where is far away from Africa. The ancients from far different areas had the same treatment for diarrhea, which they had learned from daily survival experiences.

Case-2, four people from the same family got acute watery diarrhea in the same week, grandson seven years old, father forty, grandparents seventy. The mild had watery diarrhea six times a day; the severe had more than ten times a day. Everyone took a capsule of Bacillus subtilis (ordered from swansonvitamins.com) twice a day for 1-2 days, and diarrhea stopped soon after.

Case-3, a doctor who met us on a Machu Picchu trip in Peru, got acute diarrhea after eating raw fish at lunch. He had diarrhea all night long more than 15 times. He only took two capsules of Bacillus subtilis that I got from China, and his diarrhea stopped in an hour. Afterward, he continued his trip with us without any problem.

COVID-19

Healthyping's suggestions are as follows:

Prevention

General care
Stay at home as much as you can. While shopping you need to wear a mask and gloves. In a public area, you should keep a social distance of 6 feet or more to others. Before touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth, you must wash your hands or use hand sanitizer to clean your hands. Use a sinus rinse daily. Gargle your throat with salt water twice a day. Stay positive, get enough sleep, eat healthily, drink water often, exercise, and avoid hot chili foods that trigger throat inflammation to let the virus break in quickly.

Supplements
Take vitamin B2 100 mg/day, vitamin C 500 mg/day, vitamin D3 1000 IU/day, vitamin E 100-400 IU/day, and zinc 20 mg/day; Take probiotics or eat homemade fresh yogurt every day. These supplements have antioxidants and reduce free radicals and enhance immune function.

Foods and Herbs
Daily drinks: 1) Fresh lemonade with Ginger. 2) Herbal tea with Huang Qi, Jujube (Chinese dates), Goji berry as a daily drink. The two drinks daily will keep you healthy.

Treatment for early or mild cases

Ginger, Onion, Garlic
If you feel under the weather or have a mild cold, you should drink Ginger, Onion, Garlic water right away. Take a thumb size of Ginger, a quarter of an onion, five cloves of garlic, a half lemon peel, and one cup of mint leaf, cut them into small pieces, add 4 cups of water and boil them. After the water is boiling and brewing for 2-3 minutes, wait until it cools to drink. You can repeatedly boil, brew and drink until the water has no more taste. This spicy water warms up your immune system and cleans toxins off your body, and kills germs.

Update information
Since 2020 the famous Chinese patent herb called "Clear Lung & Detox; Qing Fei Pai Du Tang; 清肺排毒汤" made an outstanding contribution to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in China. This herb is available in most Chinese herb stores now. But it would be best if you took this herb with Mormon tea( Ephedra, 麻黄) because the original herbal formula has Ephedra. When Chinese herb companies import Qing Fei Pai Du Tang 清肺排毒汤 to the US, they have to remove Ephedra by law.

Over the counter medicines
If you have thick phlegm in your lungs, you could use over-the-counter expectorant Guaifenesin called Chest Mucus Relief. It relieves chest congestion, thins and loosens mucus, and makes coughs more productive. Do not use anti-cough medicine, which may cause more problems.

Need to see a doctor
If you have short breaths or difficulty breathing, or the oximeter shows your oxygen level below 95, you need to seek medical help ASAP.

Sciatica
Ping's meridians massage and electric acupuncture on the bladder and gallbladder meridian treat sciatica issues very effectively. Most cases of acute sciatica got pain to relive after 1-2 treatments. Chronic sciatica had used our treatments as needed.

Case-1 A 63-year-old female patient had had sciatica issues; at age 53, her MRI showed 4 mm posterior disk bulging with mild stenosis at the L4-5 level. She used Ping's meridian massage and electric acupuncture to relieve her sciatica once as needed. The sciatica issue had not bothered her daily life for ten years until she had a severe rear-end collision.

Unfortunately, at age 63, the auto accident injury caused her sciatica shooting pain from the left side buttock all way down to her left foot with numbness, tingling, and burning sensation in her left thigh and ankle. Her new MRI showed 1) There is an interval significant progression of the disease. 2) Multi disks bulge 2-7 mm from L3 to S1 with foraminal stenosis. 3) L4-L5: 7-8mm disk bulge with overlapping 6-7 mm anterolisthesis; moderate to severe spinal canal stenosis; left and right foraminal stenosis with L4 nerve root impingements on both sides.

A neurosurgeon with clinical experiences over 20 years suggested the patient had L4-L5 lumbar interbody fusion surgery ASAP.

The patient was concerned about potential complications from fusion surgery and decided no surgery at the moment; she would try Ping's meridian massage and electric acupuncture to reduce sciatica pain first. In the beginning, she had treatment once to twice a week; after six treatments, her shooting pain and other symptoms were 70% improved. She saw the hope to manage sciatica pain without surgery. She had about twelve treatments for her sciatica issues in that year. Five years passed, she is 68 now, she hasn't had lumbar fusion surgery, and her sciatica is manageable with Ping's treatments as needed.

Case-2 38-year-old male patient has suffered from lower back pain and sciatica for 15 years. At age 23, his MRI showed multi disks bulge 3-4mm from L3 to S1 with a small central disk protrusion at the L4-5 level. In the past 15 years, he had used Ping's meridian massage and electric acupuncture when his pain recurred to managed sciatica and kept his daily activities going. So far, his sciatica condition has stabilized.

A tip for helping you fall asleep quickly: lay down, open your eyes, look up, stare somewhere and keep your eyes open as long as you can. While staring, don’t blink your eyes. Soon after a few seconds, you start yawning and feel sleepy. You can repeat it 2-3 times and will fall asleep. This tip is much better than counting sheep and breathing meditation. Would you like to try it? 帮助你快速入睡的小窍门:躺下，睁开眼睛，向上看，盯着某个地方，尽可能长时间地保持眼睛睁开。盯着看的时候，不要眨眼。几秒钟后，你开始打哈欠并感到困倦。你可以重复2-3次，然后就睡着了。这个建议比数羊和呼吸冥想要好得多。你想试试吗?.com

About twenty years ago, five ladies worked together as a team. We were so happy to see our coworker who had a newborn conceived with acupuncture & herbs. The lady in the first row, the first left, is the baby's grandma.
