Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 No...it's not just for horses... uses it himself...and has had many others using it. But apparently it's not for me. I emailed him, concerned that because my skin has gotten so thin in just the last year (in more ways than one!) that I was wondering if it would be too strong... I asked him if he would consider a partial refund if I had a reaction to it. He said " No refunds " , but also said he didn't think my skin could handle it. So I called him. It might be my foggy brain, but I think he kind of contradicted himself at times, but he still felt that because it's extremely astringent, that it might even exfoliate my skin! SO...I'm going with the Terminalus...whatever the scientific name was...the indian herbal extract. It's available in capsules...known by it's common name " Haritaki " ...and will see how it goes... I may even try to make it into an extract? But have never done that before...and not sure if it will stain like the Triphala did when I held it in my mouth. (Triphala contains haritaki...)

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 That's a scary thought. My skin has suddenly gotten thin as well. I now cut very easily and the cuts take a long time to heal and the scars last on. I also have become photosensitive, probably due to the long term use of the penicillin. But I'll give it a try and see what happens and report back. Maybe in fact it will act like a chemical peel and remove the brown patches on my arms? Anyway, I just bought some Triphalia in tablet form, and I'm happy because it contains both the bellica and the other, so all my microbes should be covered. I've used it for a couple of days and so far so good. My sinuses feel better, but I have to wait to see if it's coincidence, placebo or for real. I'll let you know when I feel more certain about it. But I am encouraged. penny kdrbrill <kdrbrill@...> wrote: No...it's not just for horses... uses it himself...and has had many others using it.But apparently it's not for me.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Dan You could always try painting it on the soles of your feet where the skin is much thicker. This appears to be the traditional way of dealing with iodine deficiency, painting the feet with Lugol's iodine. In this case, the decision is cosmetic in that iodine turns skin a very dark brown for a while ( until the iodine is absorbed). I am interested to see how you go as joint pain is limiting for me at the moment. Regards R [infections] Re: Gallium source...not for me I guess... sigh...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sorry I missed you post earlier RIchard. That's a very good point...applying it to the soles. There are a ton of acupuncture meridians that flow through the feet -- my frozen shoulder last year was treated mainly using points down by my knees and ankles -- so perhaps applying it on the soles would still show a benefit throughout the body. Very interesting..... Thanks, Dan > > > > Interesting you should mention horses Penny.
