Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Hi Jen, are you taking anything for the menopausal symptoms? If you are vitamin deficient, don't wait for the dr, get yourself a good multi vitamin so that you are replacing all of them albeit, in small doses as quickly as possible, once you are told which vitamins, add them to the multi vitamin and you know that you are getting what you need. If you have a kidney infection, it is your bodies way of telling you that there is a problem - you need to find out what that problem is and to eliminate it so that the kidney problem does not become recurrent.

Apologies Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Hi Marianne, I have had lots of tests and the vitamin definency was the only thing that showed up, so I guess that must be source of my problem.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 I also assume that they gave you antibiotics for the kidney infection. antibiotics kill everything including the healthy intestinal flora. These flora/bacteria are needed for the absorption of certain vitamins, K and some B I believe. You can buy a full spectrum intestinal flora also known as probiotics at most health food stores that will replace the needed bacteria. I personally think the Jarrow brand is the best. It is a bit pricey. Look in the refrigorated section for the best brands. bob --- marianne2406 wrote: > Hi Jen, are you taking anything for the menopausal > symptoms? > > If you are vitamin deficient, don't wait for the dr, > get yourself a good > multi vitamin so that you are replacing all of them > albeit, in small doses > as quickly as possible, once you are told which > vitamins, add them to > the multi vitamin and you know that you are getting > what you need. > If you have a kidney infection, it is your bodies > way of telling you that > there is a problem - you need to find out what that > problem is and to > eliminate it so that the kidney problem does not > become recurrent. > > Marianne > > > Hi, I had a bad kidney infection last October and > have never felt > > very good since, feel dizzy and tired almost all > of the time,I have > > also lost weight and have digestive problems.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 you can also just eat yogurt to replace the healthy bacteria.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Respected gurus i would be grateful if someone can put light on how vitamin deficiencies can be treated through ayurveda or nature cure system. all vitamin B group & vitamin E. ESPECIALLY VITAMIN b12; I,M A VEGETARIAN & HAVE BEEN FOUND LOW WITH b12 & taking injections. i do not see synthetic supplements & injections as a solution. my doctor told me it can cause serious troubles of mental/ neuro system. i have started taking chyvanprash from DIVYAYOG ASHRAM BUT also do not want to take some medicines as i fear of metals side effects. pl guide Thanks Mona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Dairy products are good sources of vitamin B12 - that's why dairy is part of the standard Ayurvedic diet. However, in older times, plants contained more vitamin B12 because they absorbed it from the soil. Today, most plants do not contain any B12 (because it isn't in the soil). Therefore, vegetarians must be especially careful to get B12. Ghee (and other dairy products) should be included in the diet. Be aware of foods that contain B12 analogs! Some vegetarians substitute these foods - and the health cost can be devastating. Here is a blog article with a list of plant foods that contain B12 <http://blog.freeradicalfederation.com/archive/2006/07/17/VitaminB12inPl\ antFoods.aspx> . That blog article also has a link to another really good article on the complexity of the Vitamin B12 issue for vegetarians.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Dear Mona; I am far from any guru state and these are thoughts brought back up from your questoin though not really about treating deficiencies in the short run. But maybe these conceps will lead to more answers of interest to us all? From Dr. Ramakant Mishra, a lecture whose notes are ??? so just a few tidbits - on achieveing good nutritional balance by taste alone. He talked about the 6 tastes and which nutrients are found in each taste. In particular, we can easily understand Vit C type vitamins from sour. Bitter taste provides B vitamins. He cited the value of turmeric in particular, but did not go into which B vitamins are available in what quantity. Certainly, modern diet is very short in bitter taste except from coffee, coke and chocolate, which do not provide much, yet it explains some of why these things are craved, in addition to their other qualities. Astringent taste is toning, contracting, hemostatic, etc. Which vites? I dno't remember. Salt - many trace minerals in Real Salt. Pungent...again I don't remember, although those of us cooking more ayurvedically do not need to take enzyme supplements, even eating mostly cooked, if also food combining and other simple wisdom is practiced around eating and lifestyle. Vitamin E...Wheat germ oil? According to one medical intuitive, pumpkin seed oil cleans 6 little glands as yet undiscovered by western medicine hidden in folds of the omentum/attached to small intestine, which secrete dhatu ojas. Warm Regards; Ysha > i would be grateful if someone can put light on how vitamin > deficiencies can be treated through ayurveda or nature cure system.
