If the cyst is in the top of the hand near the wrist, using a heavy book to bang it does work. A friend had one and her doctor said she could try it. It took a lot to convince me to hit my friend with the book. I didn't hit hard enough the first time so had to do it again. Mind you I'm a small woman so do be careful if you try this. However, the good news is that it worked. That was about 8 years ago and it has not returned. Note: It was not immediately noticeable that it was going to work.
Hi Sandy - I have been loathed to suggest this method but sooo many people say it worked for them. Thank you for taking the time -I am sure your comment will help many people. Thanks again.
I've experienced the first 2 examples and still do from my sister and brother. They just can't be happy for me. I'm done with it, and I see them to a bare minimum now. I tried once to explain to them why, and they just don't see it. 'I'm overreacting'. You've nailed them big time. My spychologist told me they were 'toxic' for me and to see them ONLY if I have to. Thank you for this video ❤
Hi Ginette - I am sorry you have struggled with this - it is deflating. Perhaps a follow up video might be how to find ways to deal with it. However, you are quite right when it happens regularly, you get to a point where enough is enough and you just stop sharing news at all. You have explained the way you feel and that's really all you can do. Your thanks for the video are very much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to comment.
For those who have a bump on the back of the wrist, you may try the table edge method. First close the hand into a tight fist, bend the wrist to bulge the bump out, and quickly hit the bump against the table's edge several times until the bump is flatten or is no longer there. It is like doing kung-fu against the table's edge, but do not do it too hard. Good luck and I hope it will work for you.
Thank you for your input @vieonkn I am not sure about this method myself, but some have tried it and it has worked for them.
Has anyone ever, 'Rained on your parade?'
Longer vids
Okidoke thank you
I feel, after a life altering event in our life we can have happy times, but at the same time be fundamentally changed inside.
You are absolutely right at that!
I also believe in support groups along with therapy so one doesn’t feel so isolated in their pain.
Even just for that reason - feeling alone with an issue is so debilitating. Thank you for the comment.
What a spectrum your video covered! Quite interesting. When I visit again let’s go to your castle. It’s funny I used to do the same when my kids were home ill. Making lemonade out of lemons. ❤
Absolutey!
Thanks for all the joy-ful suggestions!!! I’m trying all of them, including Leeds Castle the next time I visit the UK! I do agree that we need to live in the moment and cherish every small thing that brings us joy!
How wonderful to hear from you Tracy - I hope all is well in your world. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video and, yes, it would be great to see you at the castle!
Hi Christine thank you so much for this video. Since covid I've been struggling with news anxiety and I started catastrophizing about everything. Especially about things I can't control. I'm 20 and I'm extremely concerned about my future and since there are many wars taking place in different parts of the world I'm not very optimistic you know.. Nevertheless your video really helped me and it weakened in me a powerful will. I think that know it's the time to let go of all the negativity and start to build my life without worrying about things that are far away from my Country. Thank you for everything Christine, wish you well 🤍 PS: hope you could understand me since English is not my first language 😅
Hello @gio03942 - I am delighted to receive your comment. I am so sorry that you have to worry about the world at such a young age but that you do, demonstrates your humanity. Remember, there have always been wars and disease and, yet, here we are, still able to to enjoy some of the better things this world/life has to offer. Build on your strength and determination to create your best life and to make the world a better place - do what you can to help but always look for the good. It is there. Thank you so much for your comment it inspires me to continue here on You-tube. I would like to ask your permission to share your comment (obviously anonymously) to others who may need to hear it.
@@HAPPYSTUFFANDFLUFF Thank you for the beautiful words 💕 And of course, you can share my comment ☺
How can u reconcile when discipline = abuse. Care = interference. Suggestions, tips, ideas, protection = unsollicited advise. No decent communication possible. Whatever u try. All wrong wrong. The kids are always right…. Blameshifting. They see yet are so blind. The see the splinter but overlook the beam. Which parent can swallow all this bull after doing the best you could. I personally have given up n feel relieved.
Hello Tessa - - Obviously, each situation is different and has special conditions with different personalities involved. At the end of the day you can only do so much and it seems as if you have reached the end of your will. You say you now feel relieved and I can understand that and hope you now find some peace with the situation. Thank you for your comment.
Do not all parents make mistakes? Who is perfect? Why do kids so much need an apology?? Do kids ever apologise for all their heinous behaviour? Oh sure that us acceptable? Tough- you’re a parent, just swallow it. Do kids ever actually feel any graatefulness or respect for all the parents have dine for them? Nope. Fine. Yet for the few mistakes they want apologies….
My goodness Tessa - I agree with that. We all make mistakes and are not perfect. I don't know how old your kids are but speaking personally it was really only when I 'grew up' and had a family of my own that I fully realized gratitude for my mother - sad but true. I am sorry you have had to go through all this but hope you have now found some peace. Again, thank you for sharing with us.
Long videos please 😊
@craigmiller9084 - Your wish is my command - thank you for your comment!
What a fun video, Christine! It was all over the board and I enjoyed every segment! My parents used to sprout seeds in the early 70s and used the sprouts in all kinds of foods. I haven't thought about that for quite a while and it brought back happy memories of jars of sprouts sitting on the kitchen window sill. And how fortunate for you to have been able to spend a few nights in a castle! I'd LOVE to see inside a castle and since I've become such a huge fan of Downton Abbey, my interest in castles has increased. I can't wait for the third Downton movie! Lucky you to have been gifted the manuka honey! Honey has so many healing and healthy properties! I'm afraid I have no recommendations for a Netflix/Amazon series. I don't watch much television. Please have more videos like this one with varied topics! What a treat!
Thank you so much Marti - I am very pleased you enjoyed it!
Can you recommend any good Netflix/Amazon series?
Wowza. Well, Im just in the beginning phases of empty nesting and its definitely been very challenging, emotionally. I am sure many adjustments will need to be made along way. But, as a mother of two boys, one heading into his 3rd year of University this fall and one going into his first year this fall, I SURE HOPE that by the time either one of them are in the next phase after University (total independence and then marriage)I HOPE that we have all or most of the bumps and adjustments ironed out by then so that my future daughter-in- law doesnt feel so frustrated by me that she feels the need to call me a "needy douchebag" in the comment section of a KZread video like the woman did in the comment at the bottom of the comment section here felt the need to do. YIKES! I don't doubt her frustration, but, Lordy, I would hate to think that I'd be SO annoying to either of my potential future daughters in law that they would say something like that about ME. I hope my sons and I and their significant others have a healthy and happy relationship and that I'm never or rarely ever overstepping healthy boundaries.
Hi Jody! Given the content of your comment I am certain all will be well for you and your future family! I am so pleased that you are managing to negotiate 'empty nest' - challenging, as you say. I am sorry but I did have to laugh at the term, 'needy douchebag'. I think I am exactly that most of the time 😃Seriously, As with empty nest my advice where possible is always open and honest communication. You can't expect people to know how you are feeling if you don't explain it to them - maybe just not all day every day lol. All of these 'adulting' phases can be difficult (as all change can be) but they also bring amazing joy and wonder. Self awareness and awareness of the emotions of others is key and and you seem to have that in abundance. So I would say be aware of the possibilities but look forward to the joy and happiness coming your way. Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to comment.
😂😂😂😂😂😂hahhah you are funny🤣
What a great interview, Christine! Yes, you ARE angel! To all of us! I'm so looking forward to your new series!
Thank you Marti - you are very kind! Yes me too and the first one is on the way.
What awesome information! We can always count on you, Christine, to alert us to groundbreaking information and research to help us live our best life! I plan to take the test and so appreciate your making it available to us. Thank you again for helping us be proactive with our health and well-being!
Thanks Marti - it is such a delicate subject to cover but one I felt compelled to do. Especially, given the test is available to help. I am so pleased you have decided to take the test.
What supliment or vitamin do you recommend for MCI?
Hello @DepthStore I am loathed to recommend particular supplements BUT all of my research tells me that the B vitamins are important. I know it is probably tiresome of me to say this but you do need a chat with your doctor. Especially, if you are on any other medications. Of course, there are other things to be doing for MCI that will help - learning new things, reading, playing mind games, meditation, being out in nature etc. There is so much information out there to help - I wish you all the very best.
Yes I will. My mother has dementia and it worries me. It's a terrible decease for her and the family 😢.
Hello @ginettecloutier5902 It is such a devastating disease I agree. Good luck with the test - have a good read around the website it is packed with useful information. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Will you take the test?
I’ve been using this oil for about two weeks and so far it’s working. It has taken my cyst down about 60% so far.. I’m praying it goes completely away and take the pain away..
@WendellHolmesJr I am so pleased this is helping you - these things are such a nuisance. Persistence is key. Thank you so much for your comment, it is great to hear from you. Good luck!
I’m not sure if I’m going to survive this. I’m an adult child of Narcissistic covert abuse by both my parents and I developed mental illness at age 10 with no interventions or therapy. I was so low functioning I got placed in special Ed for nearly 11 years and my teachers knew I didn’t belong there but they had their hands tied and all they could do was support me in the best way that they could. My first experience with true and genuine and pure Love was when I had my son. His father bailed out on me early on in my pregnancy and had no meaningful involvement with our son since birth. Long periods he would not even call or use his visitation. The first ten years were as magical as they could’ve possibly could’ve been until he experienced a major trauma on one of his fathers visitations while he was left with the older son of the girlfriend and my sons entire world unraveled and he ended up having a mental health crisis that needed immediate evaluation and treatment but the father withheld consent and it took over 6 months for me to build enough case to obtain full legal custody and another 5 months until my son was stabilized. From that point forward all my energy and efforts revolved around advocating for my son and fighting the school district against their proposal for a very restrictive placement at age 11. My son couldn’t understand all that was happening and what I was trying to do to help him and also avoid getting a knock on our door by CPS. Meanwhile my narcissistic mother was undermine and sabotaging all mine and my private legal advocates efforts to help my son, over time my son came to believe I was the problem and my mom continue to drive a wedge between us and she modeled how to treat me, with total disregard, disrespect, and she refused to be a grandmother instead she competed with me on who was going to be the mother/parent figure all the while I was doing all the heavy lifting and she was doing NOTHING but trying to destroy my sons perceptions of me. Over time it worked. Now he’s 16 1/2 and treats me in the same exact manner as my mother and it became so painful that my mental illness began to resurface and now I’m trying not to go under again. Living without him and knowing that my mother won this warfare and she is reveling in her vindictive self validation she has no concern whatsoever for me and if she really loved her grandson she never would’ve done this because not having me in his life he will be left with no support system or advocate as he attempts to make his first moves into a neurotypical world while she has denied his autism since he was 10 yrs of age. I’m living in fear for him now.
No I don't want to reconcile!
And I respect that totally.
I've had one on my finger for around 10 years now and doctors said they won't remove it because it will grow back. It doesn't hurt unless I hit my finger on something, even lightly! OUCH! I just started putting castor oil on it last night after reading up about the benefits. Really hopeful!!
Hello @is8454 Try massaging your finger immediately after bathing or every now and then soak your hand in warm water first. This is a recommendation from a viewer for whom it worked. Consistency is key. Good luck and thank you for taking the time to comment.
So peaceful and beautiful 😍. Thank you for the video.😊
Oh! You are more than welcome @ginettecloutier5902 so pleased you enjoyed and thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
I would love more nature vlogging!
Hello there - I was considering it, but now - just for you - :) thank you so much x
I'm lucky enough to be retired. I don't subscribe to the idea of 'routine'! I thrive on spontaneity! To maintain fitness and a joy of outdoors, I recommend adopting a dog! Walks become an essential element of every day. I find routine brings boredom and often results in fear of the unexpected. My recommendation would be to embrace new opportunities and seek out new experiences and to resist 'routine' at all costs!
Well Hi Linda! thank you for your comments - you do you and whatever makes you feel good! Great to hear from you.
Can you tell me the name of that tree? Do you already walk early in the day?
I thought I had a close relationship with my daughter and now it has fallen apart. I was never given the reason for the fallout but I have a few ideas as to what went wrong. Willing to do the work and admit my part in this. Thank you for your beautiful video.
Bless you @kayereese1809 'Fall outs' happen all the time. Your attitude gives me the confidence that you will still have a close relationship with your daughter. You have my very best wishes and thank you so much for taking the time to comment X
I will try these and castor oil too, and let you know the result 🙏🏻
I do hope something helps for you. Please do let us know - and thank you!

You should be a guest on This Morning. How you communicate and teach is full of compassion and love and your voice needs to be heard by so many. You are a guiding angel 😇
@clairesearle1024 Oh my goodness Claire. You have just made my day! Thank you so much and bless you. x
I couldn’t agree more , compassionate and yet professional. Great!
Thank you :)
Love your show
That's very kind of you thank you for taking the time to comment - it means more than you know!
Did you enjoy the interview?
Do you think you would have been okay still if she hadn't of said she made mistakes to you? I'm going through the exact same thing with my mother I could never have an identity or life of my own away from just being her daughter to the point I started to resent her (i even had anxiety etc too when we became estranged) I want us to reconcile now 4 years later because she's sick but we would only be able to if we didn't talk it through it all as she would never do that. It always has to just be swept under the rug and she did no wrong. She would rather ignore/stonewall lose contact. She only wants to know if it's never spoken about or accountability taken on her side too. I can either try have relationship with her and just try forget everything and accept I will never get an apology from her. Or not have relationship at all. Either way it hurts :(
We're you okay having the relationship with her again even before she said she made mistakes to you, or if she had never of said it? ❤
Hello @jocarter2178 I am sorry this is happening - you kind of answer yourself with reference to the choices you have. I am tempted to say that your mother will not change but people do - only you know. Lets assume she stays the same - you have to weigh up the price you pay for having a relationship with her. Remember, your relationship is not just about this issue it is so much more than that and I notice a 'little' in your profile pic. so it isn't just about you now. Personally, I would approach your mum and maybe build a different relationship. You will have to accept her as she is and that there could well never be 'an apology. The thing is, if you try and it doesn't work out you will be back where you started so- you will have lost nothing. Ultimately, it is your decision, no-one can tell you what to do. Go with your gut... thank you for sharing your experience and I wish you all the very best. Please let us know down the line how you are doing.
@@jocarter2178 Yes I was okay. By that time I lived away from home and had a family of my own so the relationship was much less intense, shall we say. I never expected anything from her and so it was a joy when it came. I have to say I will be forever grateful that 'something' guided me to knock on her door that day. .
Another great video. I’ll get through the other side stronger. Xx
Thank you! I sincerely hope you do.
Hogwash
Don't knock it till you've tried it is what I say. If you read the comments you will see it has indeed worked for so many. Give it a try and good luck.
Thank you for this, came at the perfect time for me. Can I also say how sorry I am about losing your loved ones. ❣️ I have had long covid for over 2 years and have just been diagnosed with ME/CFS. I am living with trauma due to my life being somersaulted but I'm working my best in slowly inching forwards. Every day is a physical and emotional struggle but I do believe this situation is enabling me to be my authentic self. I have lost the ability to work, lost friends and have had to completely change my beliefs and sense of self. It's certainly a challenging journey trying to stay positive and less stressed. Meditation, music, relaxing baths and crochet help rebalance me. I'm also trying to convince my husband I need a small dog 😉 it's the not knowing how long this will last that's the toughest.
Thank you Claire. I am so pleased you watched the video. My heart goes out to you. You must be very weary with it all. Uncertainty is one of the worst things to deal with. I congratulate you on your self awareness. May I suggest some things (if you are not doing them already) First of all keep a journal - get all your thoughts and feeling out of your head and down on paper. You will feel better and it will chart your journey. On my channel I am always saying, 'moments of pleasure small and often get you through the day.' Make a list of all the things that give you joy - daily small things and schedule them into your day. Try to stay mindful and take care of what you are dealing with today. Finally, watch every single video on my channel! I am only semi-joking I am certain you will find nuggets of gold that will help you further. In the meantime, thank you so much for sharing and you have my very best wishes. x
Thank YOU Christine ❤️ I have journalled in the past so will try again. And, now I've found your channel, I am working my way through your fabulous videos. Love and light ❤️🕯️🙏🏻
And the very same to you!
When you had a cyst on your wrist, did you stop doing yoga?
Hello @ruchjen9711 and welcome. I continued yoga but I modified the poses and used the wrist brace mentioned in the video - this ensured I did not over extend my wrist.
Thank you!!!! Will try it
Hell there and welcome. I do hope it helps. Be sure to read the comments for further suggestions from viewers who have tried other successful remedies and good luck!
