Guest guest Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Hi Comley, Sounds like you're on track. I would say 99% of my clients come to me mineral, fatty acid and amino acid defiecient! 99%!!!!! Most of this can be controlled or remedied with proper eating, nutrition, and supplementation. Chances are you are deficiti in those items. Not unusual with todays diet and food pyramid! Ann Louise Gittleman say's the Food Pyramid should be changed to water being the #1 consumed item and I would agree wholeheartedly on that point. Protiens, good fats and low glycemic carbs have to be balanced. Each has a very particular role in the health and nutrition of the body. When they aren't balanced, the body compensates by taking away from some other part. Stress is 95% of all dis-ease in the body. If your blood pressure is up and down and not regulating, I would look into diet, STRESS and defieciencies.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Sour astringes and if your liver is lacking yin, this would be of some benefit. Also, the sour taste causes your mouth to water and would probably be considered " generating fluids " or yin so that might be okay too. However lemon juice is hard on the tooth enamel, and this research abstract doesn't talk about dosage. In fact, this research calls for efficacy studies, but only reports on its usage in Turkish culture. Any turks to provide some first-hand knowledge on this list who can report on lemon's benefits? -al.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Yes, I noticed that article was pretty lacking in info. I also wondered if people living in that climate would need something different. I live in a temperate, extremely damp climate.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 25, 2009 I just found an short discussion on this website about using lemon juice to control HBP. It gives instructions: http://www.mamaherb.com/high-blood-pressure-home-remedy-using-lemon-juice.html It looks as if it may be an effective rememdy as five out of five voted that it helped (according to the poll taken at the top right of the page). The article does mention the tooth enamel problem and says to brush teeth after drinking this juice (maybe use a straw too?). Many folks feel that eating food which is grown locally is the most healing food to eat. This is why in some ways the energy crisis is good as we may see more food grown in our local areas. This is probably true of herbs as well which is why I am happy to see there is now some discussion of using Western herbs as the Chinese do (rather than as Western herbalists use them). Stands to reason that fresher herbs would be stronger and more localized to what is happening in the body than those which are shipped long distances and now are often growing in extremely polluted areas of China.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 25, 2009 There are also many people working hard to get Chinese Herbs grown organically on our soil. Hopefully it will take off. regina ************** Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Peter Holmes has tried to catagorize western herbs with tastes and temperatures so that they can be used together with Chinese herbs. He has a two volune set of books that do just that. High Falls Garden in Philmont, New York, is a pilot garden for Chinese herbs and the founder, Jean Giblette sends out seeds to test gardens all over the country to see how the herbs fare in different zones, Sometimes the same zone yields completely different results. One can obtain a sample pack at the harvest season to see who is successfully growing which herb. It's a great program.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Sometimes it is where an herb is grown which governs its exact properties and this could differ between China and North America. I think we forget, too, that many of the herbs the Chinese use today are Western herbs with which they were unfamiliar and which they imported into their country out of curiosity and then added to their materia medica when they proved effective. Sometimes they did change how these Western herbs were use. I believe there are many herbs still waiting to be discovered all over the world. I hope that growing Chinese herbs in the West takes off, too, as well as rediscovering that many Western herbs also have the potential to substitute for or even be better than some Chinese herbs.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 25, 2009 There are those trying to get a medicinal ma huang ephedra growing here so we CM'ers can use it. The law doesn't prevent us from using it as a medicinal in the practice of CM, but trying to get it through the import process is impossible. But again, the issue of efficacy and functions arise. Growing in different soil and different cliamte matters hugely.

Although the federal ban was lifted, ma huang/ephedra is still illegal in some states. I'm in Illinois, and it's still illegal here. We were the first state to ban it, and so far, they haven't lifted the ban. Jeri Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
