Karl Loren's Personal Experience
With MSM Lotion Containing
Ayurvedic herbal ingredients
Treating A 30 Year-Old Insect Bite!
|
Note: This Personal
Experience relates to a test batch of MSM Lotion, containing Ayurvedic herbal ingredients
formulated by Dr. Raghavan, of India. This Lotion, and many
others with different, proprietary components of Ayurvedic herbal ingredients,
based on ancient texts of Ayurvedic Medicine, are not yet available to the
public, but soon will be. This testimonial is published on November 14,
1999.
More than 30
years ago, while I was living in Africa, my whole family was beset with an
ugly insect affliction. I was living there with my wife and six
children.
We were living in
Accra, Ghana. The climate is quite mild there -- very pleasant. We
were living in a very affluent style -- with nine servants, including one
full-time laundry boy!
 |
Our
sheets and clothing, once washed, were hung out on lines in the sun to dry.
We did not learn, until later, that there was a flying insect that would be
attracted to the moisture and while they were on the laundry the females would
lay eggs -- intended to hatch in the heat of the sun. The insects
wouldn't know, of course, that the laundry was destined to be collected out of
the sun that day. Normally this insect would lay its eggs in the fur and
hair of animals, where there would be the warmth needed to hatch the egg.
|
Then, as each of
us, members of the family, slept on the sheets, or put underwear next to our
skin, the heat of the body was all that was needed to hatch the eggs.
I told you this
was an ugly affliction?
I don't know the
full details of the life cycle of this insect, nor even its name, but it's
life cycle included that the egg would hatch and then there would be a worm
(like the butterfly life cycle) which would then burrow into the warm body of
the animal on which the eggs were to have been laid.
Yes, that's what
happened. These worms burrowed into our bodies -- without any knowledge
on our part. They were very tiny, of course, but in they went. The
whole idea, for the larva, of course, was to live as a parasite, using food
supplies from the host animal -- in our case US!
If they got into
the blood stream they could actual migrate from the point of entry to any
other part of the body where they could break through to an exit from the body
when it was time for the larva to hatch.
For, you see,
they life cycle included that they had to erupt from the skin into the flying
form of the insect.
I shudder, even
now, as I think about this bug.
Well, everyone in
our family had these insects within us -- I think the largest number of
"eruptions" we ever found, at one time, was about 6 or 8. That
meant that my little daughter (about 1 year old) who had that number, had
swellings on 6 or 8 places on her body where that living worm wanted to break
through the skin to hatch out into a flying insect and leave the body -- flying away to lay eggs
on another host.
The place where
the worm was going to exit the body would get swollen and red -- painful too.
If you squeezed
it, you might kill the worm, but you certainly left a mass of the body and
poisons in the body. The doctor we went to was very familiar with them
-- many Africans suffered from these insects.
He didn't
consider it a big deal! I did!
But, the remedy
was typically African. The doctor mixed up some brown "goo" a
poultice of various herbs that were meant to "draw out" the worm and
kill it. The idea was to pull the worm out and not leave any of its body
behind. By the time you applied a large gob of goo, black stuff, with
the necessary bandage covering it, the poultice could be two or three inches
in diameter -- a big thing.
This process was
not particularly painful -- but it was ugly to think about.
My own personal
insects seemed to all erupt from my chest. In our baby? We found
them in her hair -- coming through the scalp!
Perhaps, we
hope, they entered in that same area and didn't travel through my blood
stream? In any event I had at least a dozen of these things, ultimately,
erupt on my chest, and get treated with a poultice.
|
A set of three "Mrs.
Potts Irons". Two would be heating on the stove while the
other one was being used. When that iron was too cool to use, it
would be replaced using the detachable handle, by one that was hot. |
Obviously
as soon as we learned the danger of these insects we took preventive
steps. The prevention was simple enough, and you might wonder at
the "extravagance" of people in African countries having
servants who ironed the sheets and underwear. That was the remedy.
We just had the wash boy iron everything. The heat of the iron, of
course, would kill the eggs. They were generally too small to
detect easily. So, we had ironed underwear! |
Everything was
ironed.
But, we had had
the borrowing worm experience.
Now, I would not
be writing this if that were the real end of the story. But,
unfortunately, that is not the end of that story.
A man doesn't
spend any particular amount of intense time "inspecting" his own
chest -- it is just not an area of great interest.
I suppose right
from that time, for many years, I had the "spots" on my chest, but
never looked for them -- never saw them.
But, you know,
you get older you admire your chest and have a bit of upset with the potbelly,
and however it happened I noticed a few certain red spots on my chest --
little spots that seemed to "just be there."
I started
inspecting them.
They were small
enough -- about the size of the head of a pin. Not tiny points, but
small spots.
They were red --
but not bright.
When I would feel
them they were not like a mole or wart -- there didn't seem to be any
thickness to them -- just a red spot. But there were a few of them that
were larger and where I could feel that the skin was thicker, a bit harder,
there.
I wondered about
these spots for some years.
I knew that
cancer, even skin cancer, normally changed over time -- cancer grows larger,
or the color darkens, of the bump gets harder as well as larger. I
wondered if these spots were changing.
There was one, in
particular, that I thought might be getting larger. It was just at the
base of my throat, near the top of my chest.
It was right
there in plain view every time I shaved.
Years went by.
I don't think it
was changing, but I guess, in retrospect, it was getting harder, thicker skin
and larger.
I did nothing
about it because I didn't know what I could do!
During this time I discovered MSM and had the experience
I describe on another
page.
During that experience I used some MSM lotion, purchased
in my local health food store, and used it in large quantities on my chest and
other skin areas. During a nine month period I must have used at least
10 quarts of MSM lotion, applying it often during the day to handle an itch
which is described on that other
page.
The application of that MSM lotion, liberally, on my
chest, never caused any effect of any type on those red spots.
Then, I learned about a product that was supposed to remove warts and moles and
I decided to try it out.
I had a few warts
-- the stuff worked! I was quite amazed. I have a few bottles yet,
and we sell it. It is called Agrisept, made by a company called
Essentially Yours. This stuff was originally designed to be added in
very small quantities to raw sewage to kill the bacteria and make the sewage
safe. In very tiny amounts it was added to water to make it safe to
drink. It was made from the seeds of grapefruit, oranges and tangerines.
I decided it was like a liquid antibiotic.
The treatment for
a wart was interesting. The Agrisept came in a tiny bottle -- about one
ounce. I would invert the bottle and get one or two drops of this liquid
on the end of a finger, and then apply those drops to the top of a wart.
Then, to keep the liquid from being immediately rubbed away by clothing, I put
a Band-Aid over the wart. The Band-Aid would absorb some of the liquid
and serve to keep the wart covered with active materials for some hours.
When you leave
some of this Agrisept on your finger it would be rubbed off quickly by the
normal activity of life. But, if you "missed the wart"
and got some of this Agrisept on your normal, healthy skin, and it was kept
moist by the Band-Aid, that area of the skin would redden and actually the
skin would dissolve, leaving a bloody mess.
So, you put this
stuff on with care -- just to the wart itself.
The wart did the
same as the healthy skin. After applying Agrisept daily for just a few
days, replacing the Band-Aid daily, I saw that the wart was starting to
change. It was actually dissolving and in the process there would be
blood and rather ugly looking flesh. It usually didn't "bleed"
in the sense of blood running down your body -- just a spot of open flesh,
red, swollen, and bloody.
But, during the
process the wart was getting smaller.
Then, when it
seemed that the wart was "gone" you quit applying Agrisept and after
another week or so the wart was gone and the skin had returned to a pink
healthy color. You might, if you looked close, find a slight
discoloration, but basically the wart was gone and the skin appeared very
healthy there.
So, I got rid of
a couple warts. it worked.
I didn't
initially think of these much smaller red spots on my chest, but one day I
decided I might as well "remove them" too.
I don't
understand much about warts but I guess that there is something alive within
them -- some bacteria that causes the skin to grow a wart -- and that the
Agrisept killed that living thing -- whatever it was.
So, I'm now
looking at my little red spot, knowing that its origin was an insect that
burrowed into my body. There well could be something alive left behind
-- why not?
I started
treating the spot with Agrisept. It went through the changes that I
expected. The red spot got redder, larger and bloody. Now it was
not large like a wart, but I still expected it to handle the red spot as it
did a wart -- make it disappear.
Instead, the red
spot got larger and the skin thicker -- when I stopped applying the Agrisept
the red spot was larger and the skin was thicker. The color had changed
toward darker.
This was
disturbing. These are exactly the changes that cancer goes through when
it is getting worse.
I treated several
of these little red spots, but concentrated on the one that had been the
largest, at the base of my throat.
After stopping
the Agrisept treatment, for several days, I expected the red spot to go away.
It didn't.
And, the bloody mass seemed to stay much longer than when I had been treating
the wart.
But, after a
couple weeks the red spot was completely dry, no bloody mass, and it was
"quiet."
But, as said, the
skin there was thicker and the spot was now a circle.
Over the period
of about 18 months I would treat that one spot. I might go several
months between treatments, but I would then decide to attack that red spot
again -- treat it for about five days with Agrisept and the Band-Aid.
The results were always the same. After the first day of treatment the
spot would get redder, inflamed looking, and some of the skin had dissolved
away, leaving some blood. Now, however, if I picked at the
"scab" it would actually bleed -- the spot would have blood running
out of it -- not much, but some.
During the recent
treatment I found that the spot got red and ugly, bloody, within a very few
days of treatment with Agrisept, and then it took many weeks to recover.
In fact, the last time I did it there was a scab on the spot. The scab
didn't grow any, but it didn't go away either.
It was like there
was something still alive inside that spot -- something that was irritating
the skin and not allowing a full healing. The fact that NOW the spot had
a scab was a bit worrisome.
That is where I
was on November 11, 1999. I had a large red circle -- about 3/8 inches
in diameter, somewhat thick, with an obvious scab of dead skin on the top.
Pieces of that scab would break off, or get rubbed off, and the skin below was
not inflamed, but it was still thick and had some oozing blood. The
oozing blood would cause a scab -- the process seemed to be continuing.
I even asked my
doctor, during a routine visit, to inspect the spot. I told him its
history. He offered to cut it out! That amazed me. He didn't
think it was a cancer, but he said he could apply some local anesthesia and
just cut it out. I didn't think he knew what it was and didn't think
that "cutting" would remove anything that might be still alive, burrowed
down inside that spot.
No cutting on me,
please!
In the background
of all this had been my working with Dr. Raghavan, in India, to develop Ayurvedic herbal ingredients
remedies in the form of MSM lotions. He formulated a Ayurvedic herbal ingredients
remedy, with MSM powder, to handle the venomous Brown Tailed
Spider of Australia and I had a spider bite research project underway in
Australia. There are full details on my web site!
So, I asked him
about that Ayurvedic herbal ingredients remedy and he told me that spider bites and insect
bites are quite different. But, he said he would mix up a batch of MSM
Lotion with Ayurvedic herbal ingredients materials for insect bites -- he did.
I have now used
it for only three days.
Three days is
much too short a time to remove that red spot, but I want you to know that the
spot is changing now, with the application of the MSM lotion containing Ayurvedic herbal ingredients
for the treatment of insect bites.
The change?
First, the skin
is smoother -- in just three days.
The scab that had
been there, continuously, is almost all gone -- and it looks like it is not
going to be reappearing! I can see a very small area of reddened skin,
around the small scab. That scab had not changed (except to fall of and
a new one grow in place -- same size) for several months. (I had not
been "treating" it during those several months, but it wasn't
healing either!)
I can now see,
and measure, the thickened skin because the scab is mostly gone.
I have no doubt
that the MSM lotion, with the Ayurvedic herbal ingredients for insect bite, have
caused these changes.
I have no doubt
that these changes will continue.
One of the most
powerful testimonials that can be written is one that is "in
progress," where the report is at the start of the treatment, and is
published so that all can read and then ask, some months later:
"What happened?"
This personal
experience is published on Sunday, November 14, 1999. You may write to
me at any time and ask for a progress report -- and I'll publish periodic
reports about this process.
Sincerely,
Karl Loren
On November 16, 1999
After only three days using the MSM -- IN, Ayurvedic herbal ingredients
lotion, the scab on the red spot is completely gone. The red spot is
still "red" but it is closer to the normal color. The skin in
that area is still quite thick. I am now going for the final result that
the skin should get even more "normal" in color and that the
"thick skin" should change to a normal texture and thickness of
skin. I would expect that to take quite some time, but I'll report my
progress here, or you can eMail me to ask. eMail me at karl@karlloren.com
November 25, 1999 (Thanksgiving Day)
The diameter of the spot has reduced. There is now
a thicker spot in the center of the spot, like a scab. The color
continues to be light, not dark.
