I have read your book and am currently taking the ginger root juice for my Hiatus Hernia. It seems to be helping and I do thank you for that.
Now I need help for another problem.
I have several Sebacious Cysts on my head and would like to know if there is any treatment other than surgery for getting rid of them?
I would appreciate any information you might have.
Thanks Jody

sebaceous hyperplasia?
try GLAXO: EMGEL 2% TROPICAL GEL, no substitution, sinc enone effective. NDC 0173-0440-00
than follow with RETIN A.
sounds like caused by:
Increased permeability of intestinal mucosa
sounds familliar?
"...ENDOTOXIN, bacterial endotoxin is a lipopolisaccharide compound from the outer cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, which occur abundantly in organic dusts. It has been shown that the biological properties of endotoxin vary depending upon the bacterial species from which they are derived, as well as upon the state of growth cycle of bacteria. Endotoxin have a wide range of biological activities involving inflammatory, hemodynamic, and immunological responses.
Of most importance in occupational exposures are the activities of endotoxin on the lung. The primary target cell for endotoxin-induced damage by inhalation is pulmonary macrophage. Human macrophages in particular have been shown to be extremely sensitive to the effects of the endotoxin in vitro. Endotoxin, either soluble or associated with particular matter, will activate the macrophage, causing the cell to produce a host mediators. Clinically, little is known about responses to inhaled endotoxin. Exposure f previously unexposed persons to airborne endotoxin can result in acute fever, dyspnea, coughing, and small reductions in force expiratory volume in one-second (FEV1), although some investigators have not been able to demonstrate acute changes in FEV1. The effects of repeated exposure to aerosols of endotoxin in humans are not known. Some animal studies have demonstrated a chronic inflammatory response characterized by goblet cell hyperplasia and increased mucous production. This suggest that repeat exposure may cause a syndrome similar, if no identical, to chronic bronchitis...."

Neurophysiological Effects of Flickering Light in Patients with Perceived Electrical Hypersensitivity.
JOEM 39:1 (January 1997), pp 15-22
Monica Sanstrm, Bsc, Eugene Lyskov MD PhD, Andr Berglund, Sviatoslav Medvedev MD PhD,

An increasing number of people in Sweden are claiming that they are hypersensitive to electricity.
These patients suffer from skin as well as neurological symptoms when they are near computer monitors, fluorescent tubes, or other electrical appliances. Provocation studies with electromagnetic fields emitted from these appliances have, with only one exception, all been negative, indicating that there are other factors in the office environment that can effect the autonomic and/or central nervous system, resulting in the symptoms reported. Flickering light is one such factor and was therefore chosen as the exposure parameter in this study.
Ten patients complaining of electrical hypersensitivity and the same number of healthy voluntary control subjects were exposed to amplitude-modulated light. The sensitivity of the brain to this type of visual stimulation was tested by means of objective electrophysiological methods such as electroetinography and visual evoked potential.
A higher amplitude of brain cortical responses at all frequencies of stimulation was found when comparing patients with the control subjects, whereas no differences in retinal responses were revealed.

MOLECULES RELEASED INTO THE AIR BY BACTERIA AND FUNGI MAY BE CAUSING ILL HEALTH, A LEADING PHARMACOLOGIST WARNED TODAY AT THE BRITISH PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE IN SCARBOROUGH.
Professor Paul Nicholls, Professor of Pharmacology at the Welsh School of Pharmacy at the University of Wales in Cardiff, told delegates: ''In environments with organic dusts, such as farms, the air contains a complex mixture of molecules produced by bacteria, fungi and plants.''

Dear Jody,
Because of the mechanical nature of sebaceous cysts, once they are large enough that people tend to think of removing them, the only practical way IS surgical.
HOWEVER, for those very same mechanical reasons, they are VERY easy to remove. All it takes is a physician knowledgable about their causation and structure who will make a little nick in the skin & insert a forceps to peel out the sack (NO part of the sack can be left in the wound or it will reoccur) containing the fluid that is the cyst. The incision won't even need a stitch (done correctly)-----unless it is on the face.
There is a way to prevent new ones, if this is a recurrent problem.

Thanks for your comments.
You mentioned a way to prevent the cysts from forming?
I would be interested in knowing what this preventive treatment is....Also when the cysts are small, is there anything that can be done before they get large? I seem to have several on my scalp (all sizes).
I also have one question about the ginger root juice for my hiatus hernia. I had to peel the root in order for my juicer to handle it. Is that o.k?
I am enjoying your book and appreciate the good information you are sharing with others
Thanks, Jody

Dear Jody,
See the essential oil article on the home page (link on this page). THAT is the prevention. After about 3 months you should have no new ones.
If you examine your scalp every day (carefully) you might find new ones soon enough to empty them out by using hot compresses ( to dialate the opening to the gland) about 5 minutes at a time at least twice a day till they are gone. You have to keep the heat as hot as you can stand it to do it in 5 minutes--otherwise it takes 20 minutes each time.
These cysts form because, due to a genetic need for more than the usual essential oils, to produce the proper viscosity of the sebum, your sebum is too thick. The essential oils will make you produce the more runny stuff (normal). The cysts form when you cannot empty the gland normally (sebum too thick). The heat helps dilate the ductal opening so the thick stuff can get out before too much pressure has built up to handle it that way.
I hope this is making sense to you. If you need more, please do not hesitate to write agian.

Dear Walt,
See, this is exactly why I keep reading posts. After nearly a year, I am still stumbling upon symptoms from my past that relate to the wellness program you have outlined for me. Every so often a question comes up in a post and I realize, oh yeah, I had that too. The list has grown amazingly. I must have been deaf……well, actually, no, just uneducated. I had no way to connect all the messages my body was giving me. The list is growing.
I too had a problem with cysts. It looked like I was trying to grow new appendages. Over the years I've had three removed. The last was done by a dermatologist. He made a real construction project out of it, took a bunch of the surrounding tissue, cauterized, etc., barbecued Jim. Now I’m supplementing essential oils, so I don’t look forward to any more of these.
Thanks for letting me know I am healing something I didn’t even know I was healing.
Greatfully,
Jim

Thanks, Jim!
If everyone would read your posts, I think you would be healing more people than I.
One of the wonderful things about "wellness" is that you are giving the wonderful machine God gave you a chance to show what it can do if you just give it a chance.
The AMA disparages this universal effect as claims of a "panacea". Just shows how impossible it can be to see the forest for the trees when all you have is a microscope.
