Dosages

[Guest guest]

Hi Rachalle,

 

Thanks for the kind word.

 

Never get cheap on your dosages. For an adult, you can use 2

dropperfuls 2 to 3 time a day and if a person is really sick you can

start them off with a whole ounce and give them the 2 dropperfuls every

hour. For children, you should use the 150 rule: Take a child's weight

and put it over 150 and that gives you their dosage. IE. If a child

weighs 50 pounds you put the 50 over 150 like 50/150 which breaks down

to a 1/3 dosage. This method even works with babies. It also works for

BIG people. A guy weighs 300 pounds = 300/150 = 2 times the regular

dosage.

 

The worst thing I've ever seen about taking to many herbs is that you

throw up which in itself can be therapeutic.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards,

 

Ian

Thanks for the additional input on this Maggie. It raises some good

points regarding Lemon Egg and all natural remedies.

I was downing a two ounce shot glass a day with no adverse effects for

over two weeks, but then again, I have a big body and am very active (I

start every day by running 3 to 4 miles). You're right about "a little

going a long ways" though (true for most remedies), as now, I only do one

2 oz shot glass a week as a maintenance dosage. I also use only 5

medium sized eggs in a quart Mason jar (fills the jar about 2/3rds the

way up), which is then filled to the top with the fresh squeezed organic

lemon juice so my mixture may be a little weaker than Dr. Morter's.

I disagree with anyone who tries to carve a "same dosage for everyone"

in stone, and Morter is no exception in this case.

The important thing I've found is to learn to listen to your body.

It'll tell you if you're taking too much or too little of something.

We are all different and no two people are going to have exactly the same

dosage which creates the most ideal effect.

My general rule of thumb for dosages, using most concoctions is the

"150 Rule".

A child who is only 50 pounds in weight should only take 1/3rd the recommended

dosage of a remedy. IE. 50 over 150 breaks down as a fraction

to 1/3rd. Similarly, a woman who weighs a 100 pounds would take a

2/3rds recommended dosage. This works for the heavy person as well.

A 300 pound man would need to take 2 times the regular dosage to get the

best effect from a remedy. 300/150 = 2. This is a general rule

of thumb which works for approx 98% of the people I've helped. My

wife Valorie who weighs just a little over 150 can take a full oz of Lemon

Egg (my mixture) for over a month with no adverse effects.

You do need to take into consideration a person's age and general overall

condition. Obviously, you're not going to ask a 90 year old, 90 pound

man with just a faint breath on the mirror to run a 4 minute mile or drink

8 oz of Lemon Egg a day. One needs to use one's head without being

too timid to jump into the middle of things. I've never ever hurt

anyone by having them take large dosages of herbs or natural remedies,

Never!!! And I've been in this field over 5 years now and have personally

helped hundreds.

Never be timid with your dosages. Your body will tell you if you've

taken too much, and you won't do any permanent damage.

Ole Doc Christopher and ole Doc Thompson, when they were alive, used

to give "over doses" of Lobelia to "Purge and Puke". They never lost

a patient doing this, and between them, cured literally tens of thousands

of people using this method.

Conversely, I've seen many walk away from natural healing back to the

saws, drugs and the knives of the MDs, simply because they didn't do enough

of a natural healing program.

Best regards,

Ian

Ian,

I recently read about lemon egg in Dr. Ted Morter's

book "Your Health - Your Choice." This is what he says

"Lemon egg mixture is an excellent, high-powered, SHORT-

TERM calcium supplement. One-half teaspoonful each day will give

you all

of the additional calcium you need to begin to rebuild your calcium

supply.

Like any supplement,

this one will give your body resource with which to work while more

covalent calcium laden foods are being introduced into your diet.

Green

leafy vegetables such as

kale, watercress, mustard greens and turnip greens are vegetable sources

of

calcium.

The amount of lemon egg you take is important. Taking too

much can induce synptoms you won't like. One-half teaspoonful

is all of

the lemon egg you need EACH DAY for

thirty days. Taking more than one-half teaspoonful a day

can lead to leg cramps, the same symptom that is associated with too

little

calcium."
