I know we’re onto something when a certain cellulite treatment starts to pop up from multiple angles.  That is the case with hydro/cold therapy and I’m excited to explore it further. Clue #1: Hydrotherapy Article at TeraWarner.com Tesser was one of the first of my fellow cellulite sleuths to bring the subject to my attention when she posted this link about hydrotherapy on the CI Facebook page.  The author provides a method for applying hydrotherapy [...]

Possible Lingering Effects of Fluoride Detox with Boron Supplements

April 9, 2012

Last week, I wrote about my self experiment with boron supplements and the detox reaction I experienced as a result.  Week two brought even more significant reactions. I can’t be sure these reactions were caused by the boron, but the timing makes me curious.  It seems strange these three negative events just happened to occur while I was in the throes of the reaction to the boron pills.  I fully admit it could be coincidence.  [...]

Nope, I haven’t heard of HoneyBelle.  Have you? What is the HoneyBelle Body Buffer? HoneyBelle is a nifty device designed to improve circulation to the skin through a patented technology that provides an oscillating massage motion.  Here is the description from Amazon: [...]

Boron, Estrogen, Lunaception, and Menstruation

April 2, 2012
Thumbnail image for Boron, Estrogen, Lunaception, and Menstruation

Two weeks ago, I conducted an experiment to verify my earlier hypothesis that boron supplements make me feel nauseous and cause motion sickness.  The same reaction occurred within 48 hours of taking a 3mg pill two days in a row. This data supports my conclusion that boron is displacing fluoride from my body.  But the human body is so complex, of course there’s a lot more going on here that I haven’t even begun to [...]

Our new discussion forum is slowly gathering steam.  Here are some of the interesting conversations we’ve got going.  I’d love to see you there! Global Cellulite Survey:  Anna came up with a brilliant suggestion—to use CI as an online platform to conduct a global survey on cellulite.  I have some technical questions to work through, but right now we are starting to form the questions and identify our goals for the survey. Is This Fluoroderma?: [...]

Another Fluoride Detox Experiment: Boron Supplements Versus Food-Based Sources

March 26, 2012
Thumbnail image for Another Fluoride Detox Experiment: Boron Supplements Versus Food-Based Sources

Last year, as part of my fluoride detox strategy, there was a period of time when I took Dr. Ron’s Cal-Mag supplement.  I knew minerals were an important part of the fluoride detox equation, and even more importantly, Dr. Ron’s supplement contained boron. The researcher at Hakala labs is the one who first tipped me off to the ability of boron to displace fluoride from the body.   I started out slow with Dr. Ron’s cal-mag [...]

Monday’s post included a series of videos from a lecture by neurologist Stasha Gominak on vitamin D, sleep and healing.  This post is a continuation of that discussion. Sleep is a subject I want to learn more about because I believe it is a critical aspects of our investigation. I know the lymphatic system is more active at night but I don’t understand why or how. I would also like to learn more about what [...]

I asked for an interesting resource on sleep, and you responded.  Thanks to Pam for pointing me to this lecture by Dr. Stasha Gominak, a neurologist who studies the interaction between Vitamin D, sleep, and healing. Since I started cupping in the mornings, it is clear how much more sensitive my body is when I don’t get a full night’s sleep.  Even though I know intellectually that is important to get eight hours of sleep [...]

My fluoride detox efforts are ongoing.  When I increased my boron consumption last week, the persistent water retention started to return. Bloating around my upper stomach has been a side effect of my fluoride detox strategy from the beginning, whether I’m using iodine supplements, bone broth, or boron to displace fluoride from my body. I’ve been dealing with the bloating for so long, it’s time to try something different. The Magnesium Clue When my detox [...]

I learn a lot by interacting with people through The Cellulite Investigation.  Here are a few paragraphs from a recent email discussion about the interaction of boron, magnesium, and fluoride.  Information like this is scarce, so I am sharing it here. The author is a researcher whose primary interest is the impact of halogens on stratospheric ozone, UV-b radiation on phytoplankton, and the subsequent collapse of the dimethylsulfide sulfur cycle.  I’m interested to hear your [...]
