One of my friends was diagnosed with Graves disease. It is disorder of thyroid gland. The treatment that mordern medicine can offer is medication that has drastic side effects on blood and liver and disease may come back anyway. So another treatment for this condition is radioactive iodine that kills thyroid. After that patients requre synthetic thyroi d hormons for the rest of life . ( it's what I call barbaric)
My friend didn't want to do it. She decided it's nothing to loose and wanted to try alternative medicine. I new about herb-Bugleweed is good for this condition. But couldn't find any info how to use it except that alcohol solution (tincure) is better that dry herb or water solution.
Graves disease has very definite symptoms like palpitation,irritability, feeling hot,etc. So I decided to try small doses of alcohol tincture of this herb (stakich.com sells good quality tincture) and increase it till we will see improvement of her symptoms. don't exceed the max dose stated on the bottle.
20-30 drops 2-3 times a day for 1 week then 1 day stop.Then repeat again for 2 weeks and a 2 days stop . Then do it for 3 weeks and rest 3 days.Then 4 weeks -4days rest and so on. Doctor will have to check antibodies and thyroid profile and see if any impovement in 4-6 month. When you are in remission, start decreasing dose slowly to 2 times a day than to less drops. My friend doesn't need to take any. but sometimes when she feels some of her symptoms back she take maintance dose 18 drops 3 times a day for several days until no more symptoms and decrese it again the stop.

It is very good for health to drink warm water (room temperature good also) with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Every time you drink water, put some fresh lemon juice.
Especially in the morning on empty stomach-cup of warm water, squeeze a little lemon juice (fresh) and put 1 tsp of raw organic honey. It will cleanse and give energy. It is good for indigestion, reflax. Especially during pregnancy.If nausea, eat a piece of lemon with skin.
It will also protect you from kidney stones.

Remedy for Plantar warts
First remedy I would like to give will be for plantar warts. You can google to find info about it and how it looks. I think the most easy to understand information you can find at wikipedia.org. This remedy works 100%. Take Castor oil and mix it with baking soda so it will make a paste. Apply it on the wart and secure it with bandage. Let it stay for each night. Change it on the morning and than again at night. If it' s hard to keep it on during the day, apply it only at night. During the day just cover it with dry bandage. It just will take a little longer to get read of it. Usually it takes less then 7 nights to get rid of it. It might work on any wart. I have not tried it.

remedy for chalazion and other eye problems
I will give you good remedy for chalazion. Take a lemon, squeeze a little juice from it on your clean finger and apply to chalazion. Apply 2 times every 2-3 hours then apply a little Castor oil to it. Don't wash lemon juice off. Let it dry up on your lid. Let Castor oil stay on your calazion 2-3 hours and then repeat lemon juice. Alternate several times of lemon juice with Castor oil application and chalazion will go away very soon. Try not to get lemon juice or Castor oil in your eye. It will burn a little but it will not hurt you. Just apply a little amount so it will not get into your eye. All applications has to be done on eyelid not in your eye.
This remedy will work also for blocked tear duct (with chronic infection).
You can search MayoClinic.com to see picture and symptoms of it and other eyelid problems.
I have found that Castor oil is very beneficial to eyelid. I have not tried it but I think who have blepharitis, can try Castor oil on it.
Castor ois is very good for increased eye pressure to prevent glaucoma. Apply to eyelashes at bed time ones or twice a week.Let a little oil get into eyes. In the morning wash your eyes with slightly warm water and dry them to take off the oil that left.
It's good for eyelashes and eyebrow to pevent thinnig or turning grey.

Remedy for high blood pressure
This remedy is good for blood pressure and heart. It also can help if you have heart valve insufficiency (did doctor told you have heart murmur?)
I use 1 tablespoon of whole dry Hawthorn berries and 1 tablespoon of dry whole Rosehip berrie for 1 cup of water. Boil water, and pour over berries and simmer for 1-2 hours or It's better to put it in thermos and let it steep for 2-3 hours. Strain.
Now you have to find dose for yourself. Some people have good result when they drink 1/2 cup. Some have to drink 1 cup 2 time a day. You have to check your blood pressure and see. Don't stop your blood pressure medication but gradually decrease dose if you see that Hawthorn tea helps you. Some people benefit from Hawthorn flowers and leaves. I mix them together with berries
Hawthorn berries not just lower blood pressure but they strenthen the heart and heart valves. Rosehip berries protect blood vessels from inflamation and strengthen them.
Beside that it's good to take vitamin C 1000 mg a day once in a while. I think it's better to take vitamin C powder (it doesn't have any additives or fillers).
It's very important to have a good quality thermos. It has to be made of stainless steel. I couldn't find thermos with stainless steel lead. So I use thermos with nontoxic plastic lead. Good website ALADDIN-PMI.COM. Search for stainless steel carafe.
Good website to buy herbs and berries-HERBALCOM.COM (doesn't matter how much you buy the shipping and handling about $7)

remedy for skin and skin cancer
I will talk about any strange soreS on skin: rash that doesn't go away, red or brown spots, itching spots, etc.
My remedy will work if it's basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, seborrheic and actinic keratosis. You can look up a pictures of these lesions on web site Cancer.org
The remedy is very simple. I use organic unfiltered unpasteurized apple cider vinegar (Bragg's vinegar or EDEN apple sider vinegar even better because it's aged in wooden barrels). Take cotton ball or piece of COTTON material and folded 2 times, make it all wet with vinegar, squeeze out extra so it will not drip and apply to the spot or area on the skin for 20 min 2-3 times a day. It might burn a little. Continue do it till sore is completely gone. It's very important to keep it on for not more than 20-30 min and do not stop doing it until the sore is completely gone.
For fungus between toes or fingers, poison ivy or poison oak rashes or any itching spots - apply apple sider vinegar for 20 min as described above .
Apple cider vinegar is very good for skin. Take 1/2 cup of water, put 1 Tbs of apple cider vinegar. Wash your face with it.Pat it dry a little.Then you may apply cocoa butter. Hold it under hot water to melt it. OR YOU CAN USE PALMER'S COCOA BUTTER FORMULA WITH VITAMIN E. Or apply almond oil or olive oil. Vinegar and oil afterwords will keep your face wrinkle free and healthy.
