Comments and Requests

Deirdre and all my dear Earth Clinic friends & family. My 33 yr old autistic best friend & nephew, L Joey, lost his mother not yet a yr ago and health deteriorating and recently back home from the hospital for maybe two wks waiting for test results and treatment options and now suddenly back in the hospital in critical condition with acute lymphoma. He is a big hearted, smart, passionate person hoping to go back to school and begin a new life and suddenly is almost gone. Please take a moment of prayer sending him divine, life giving energy, and wisdom in the minds of all the staff at the hospital. And TY in advance from the bottom of my heart.

HI U DEIRDRE,,,,,,,,,,, sorry to see you leave the Sweat South. Think you will learn that times have changed in Calif. Hope you are happy with your move.

Myself, I'm happy to live on the frontier.

Account? what account?

Dear all,

After a decade in Atlanta, Earth Clinic has recently relocated back to Los Angeles. We're very happy to be back in warm and sunny Southern California!

Additionally, our wonderful programmer has made recent changes to the account section of Earth Clinic, so when you login to your account, you should now be able to sort through posts you've saved by ailment, remedy, or by ascending/descending date. If you have any additional requests as far as what you'd like to see in your account, please tell us. It's very helpful to get your feedback!

Thanks so much, Deirdre!

I tried using that feature via logging-in. I clicked on 'watch this post' but opted out of the notifications of future replies to the posts since I just want to save them vs. see all of the replies to them, and I couldn't find the posts I saved anywhere. (?)

No biggie, though. I can just continue copying/pasting to Word as I've done for years. I only asked in case there was a feature for this function on EC that I was unaware of.

Thanks, again! :)

Thanks so much, Deirdre! And no worries, I would be more than happy to log-in to use it.

I'll give it a whirl after I submit this post.

Thanks, again. Have a happy 4th weekend! :)

Hi Mmsg :)

That's what I've been doing--copying/pasting to Word, but I'd love it I could just save it here on EC, since I'm here so often. (More as a reader than a poster.)

I don't know if Craigslist is as popular across the pond as it is here, but their website, which is intentionally rudimentary, has a star next to every post and if you click on the star, it will save it (right there on CL). Then, when you want to reference a previous post, you just click on the yellow star at the top of the page and *voila*--all of your saved posts are there in a list until you choose to delete them.

That feature is so handy--I love it! :)

Hi Kelly,

Our programmer says to login and click on "My Watched Posts" because this is where you can find all the posts you have saved, starting with the most recent date at the top. You can also opt to be notified if someone responds to one of these posts, or delete the post from your account. This is our "folder"... He says you have to login in order to use it, sorry!

I take my own notes.

Kelly, I do that on my own: I cut and paste posts that I want to save into a Word doc.

Hi EC/Deirdre :)

I've used the 'watch this post' feature, but it only notifies me if there are replies to the post. What I was referring to is a folder (or the like) where we can put posts we would like to save.

For example: When people post treatments that worked for them, it would be great if we could keep/file them somewhere for future reference. Then, if we, or someone we know, has an ailment, we can go to that folder and find the post that we saved on that topic that also included measurements, etc.

Friends and family always come to me for natural suggestions for their ailments, and I'd love it if we had a folder with saved posts with treatments for everything from anemia to Zinc deficiency that I saved along the way after reading a post with great info and saved.

Obviously, if this requires a major program overhaul, then it would be another 'never minnnnnd'. But hey, a girl can dream. :)

I wish there was a way to save favorite posts, too; like a folder? For example, when I come across posts I would like to save for future use, it would be great if we had an 'add to folder' option. Then, when we wanted to reference a favorite post, we could click on the folder and they would all be there, in one place.

Perhaps there is a way to do this that I'm unaware of it since I seldom sign-in when I'm here. If so, 'never minnnnnnnnd'. :)

Many thanks to our long-time contributor Larry from Fairfax, VA for asking us in early June to add the email function back to posts. Besides emailing a post to a family member or friend, you can now share individual posts on Facebook and Twitter!

Will Earth Clinic users have a means of sharing a particular posting with someone via eMail? I understood that Earth Clinic was to have had such such a procedure set-up a few weeks ago. Please advise. Larry K./ Fairfax, VA

Fixed! Thank you for your patience.

We just learned that posts sent from iPhones on Earth Clinic's mobile site have been glitching since an update our programmer made last week (or longer) and we're not receiving many iPhone submissions. If you got a white screen after clicking the "submit" button on your iPhone, then your post did not come through and cannot be recovered. So sorry!

Please hold off submitting posts from your iPhone until Tuesday morning. The issue probably won't be fixed until late Monday evening. Desktop submissions are working fine, however.

Is there a procedure for sending someone a copy of an EarthClinic.com posting via eMail? Thanks, Larry / Fairfax, VA

Good morning everyone! We hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

We've decided to move Earth Clinic's rating system to a 5 star system. Our current rating system has become outdated after 16 years and can be very confusing to first-timers to the site. Some of our EC's friends have told us recently when we asked that they've always hated YEA/NAY but didn't dare to say! Ha ha. Well, we're now ready to make a change!

With a 5 star rating system, we'll need to convert all posts that have Yea/Nay/etc ratings on the site. Would you please let us know if you agree with the below? Your help will be greatly appreciated!

These are the ratings we currently have on EC:

Yea
Nay
Better But Not Cured
Better But With Side Effects
Side Effects
Worked Temporarily
Warning!
Death Reported (pets vaccination section only)

We would convert as follows:

5 Stars - all "Yeas" on the site
4 Stars - all "Better but not Cured" on the site
3 Stars - all "Worked Temporarily" and "Better But With Side Effects" posts
2 Stars - all "Nay" posts
1 Star - all "Warning! " or "Side Effects" posts

Create a Skull and Crossbones symbol - for "Death Reported"

Our contact us form would then offer the following simple choices:

5 Stars Cured
4 Stars Better but not cured
3 Stars It's okay
2 Stars I don't like it
1 Star Side Effects/Warning!

Please let us know what you think or if you have any other ideas. We're very open to suggestions before making this huge change.

Many thanks.

Earth Clinic's very first app for Android devices is now available and it's FREE! Be the first to download our new app and let us know what you think! In a couple months we'll have an app ready for iPhones.

Hi, I was wondering if you can put all of Ted's remedies on a page of its own, its kinda hard to get to teds remediies. Thank you

Dear EC,

It appears I've missed some information about the "Research" option now available by the "Follow" option. Could you please advise about this??

Thanks,

Hello,

Can anyone please offer suggestions to Karen regarding her malamute who is suffering after surgery?

Many thanks.

HI ALL, , , , , , , , , was in EC's archives today and ran across one of Joyce's posts and it brought tears to my eyes. Her posts were common sense. She was a strong woman and we tangled a few times, but I miss her counsel.

Deirdre, I know she's not in the running with Ted, but it would be nice if the new folks could see what she posted over the years.

Hi gang,

I'm confused. When I get an email with a link about a thread I am following it never goes to the recent post about said thread. I scroll around but I never find anything that has been posted in the last day or so.

Is it me... or is it Memorex??

With the recent site changes, I've noticed that my beloved blue arrow (the 'back to top' icon) is missing. The same happened before following site modifications, so I'm hoping, like the last time, it will be back shortly.

I *love* that feature! :)

Our programmer made an update to Earth Clinic yesterday and if you are logged in, you can now indicate if you love a post! Clicking on the heart is not meant to be a Facebook "like", it's meant to be a "I love this post!", which is why it's a heart and not a thumbs up icon.

We see lots of amazing, detailed replies on the Latest Posts page every day and have been looking forward to adding this feature to Earth Clinic so that the wonderful contributors who take time to write a reply can get a little acknowledgement for their time and effort.

Our new feature may have a few glitches, but we should have those fixed by Monday.

You will need to clear your browser history if things look "off". Flag and Follow should not be underlined. If you've cleared your history and are loading the new files, Flag and Follow will now only pop up as you scroll over a post. The only two words you should see at the bottom of a post is Like and Reply.

When I enter the website and try to use the search engine, I get a drop down asking for language. You can imagine my frustration when I can not find english -unable to get the language thing to disappear.

I have been following this site for over 10 years. I love it! However, lately I am noticing difficulty actually finding Ted's recipes. I spend hours combing through comments from readers to piece together parts.

I seem to remember a recipe page. Has that been removed? Do you now have to sign in to find the recipe's? It's getting frustrating since so many people alter the original recipe.

I have been looking and looking and there are references but no actual recipe.

Can you point me in the right direction? I am specifically looking for the ACV Baking Soda one for heartburn. But access to the rest would be great too!

Thank you!
