Digest Number 1042

[Guest guest]

Dear Group

Thank you all for your help on the antioxidant issue. My interactions with oncologists in Boulder over the past 2 decades have been characterized largely by benign neglect. They've let me do whatever I see fit so, thus far, I've been fortunate enough to be able to dodge this bullet and focus my attentions elsewhere. This particular patient lives in a rather small mountain town and her local oncologist has made it clear that she has had no previous experience with Chinese medicine. She's just trying to exercise due diligence as best she can, for better or worse. While I don't agree with her, I can appreciate her position, however uninformed it may be. I did in fact offer to provide her with translations of Chinese studies demonstrating improved clinical outcomes for the very squamous cell cx. of the tonsil my patient has using an integrative WM CM approach. She was apparently uninterested in anything not published by a juried Western medical journal. If any of you are aware of any study meeting this criteria I'd be interested in knowing about it. This has obviously not been an interest of mine in the past.

 

Thanks again for your help.

I have an allergy to almonds, macadamia nuts and a slight problem with

xing ren. I think I bit into one once and it gave me the same feeling as

almonds. With all of them, cooking takes away some, but not all, of the

allergic response.

Dawn-

Your first thought- Lavender, was a good one- except wrong Lavender. You

want Lavandula angustifilia, also called True Lavender. " L.A. " , is a good

balancer.

Does she have low blood pressure? " L.A. " , could bring heart rate and Blood

Pressure down. If they are already low, you might not want to do that.

My guess is that the drugs, anesthesia, etc, is taking longer to get out of

her body. Some people are sensitive to meds, especially older people. I am

assuming that her Doctor has already ruled out other causes for memory

changes????? Trying a drop of lavandula angustifolia on a hankie, having her

inhale for 3-5 seconds with mouth and exhale. I don't remember you saying

how long ago the surgery was, but as a surgical nurse- I do see a lot of

people, especially the older population, who have problems with mental

changes with meds. Normally once they get back in their own environment and

the meds get out of their body- they get better.

Cheryl

P.S. It would probably be best if you hold the hankie with oil. You wouldn't

want her to use it near her eyes. ( Just to be on the safe side).

Re: muscle spasm help??

 

Hello:)

 

I use valerian root and kava. If you drink alcohol you might want to

use valerian instead, just don't use it with alcohol, and adjust any

pain meds you might be taking, because both of them enhance the

effect of pain meds. Don't operate power tools or machinery when

taking these two herbs, they tend to cause drowsiness.

 

Kava is a mild antianxiety, antispasmotic,hypnotic,muscle relaxant..

 

Valerialn is also and if one doesn't work the other usually does!

 

You might have some vivd dreams when taking either one of tham..

 

If you have problems with water retention, one of them causes more

water retention than the other..I can't rmeber which one right off

hand! You'd have to look it up!

 

Liz

Introduction

 

Hi everyone,

 

I used to be on this list under another name, I think it was

FeatherMist. A lot has happened to me since those days, I finally

moved and changed my whole life. My interest in alternative remedies

is still strong, and I hope to keep learning.

I'm an intuitive, empath, healer, humbly walking an earth based

path that has strong ties with Native Peoples. Since '99 I've had a

few teachers from various tribes, though I still carry other ways in

my heart which are similar, though the Native Spirit is very strong,

it brings me greaa Peace.

Some of my interests include: holistic health, metaphysics,

spirituality, reincarnation, learning from different cultures,

computers, music, helping others, and finding true friendship.

It would be great if I could find people to chat with. I'll be

peeking back here often for chatters. If anyone's interested,

please write me here. I just bought a remedy for skin rash, which

I'll share the results of it's effectiveness with you all. When I

can, I like making my own remedies as well, mouthwash, toothpaste,

soap, common household items like that. Although I'm still learning,

I've had success doing this.

I am glad to be back!

 

Sincerely, A SilverSpirit

Re: hair loss from stress

 

Dear Eve--

 

If your hair loss is indeed due to your internal reactions to stress

(have you seen a doctor about this? If not, you should.), then you

will indeed need to deal directly with your stress. There are a

number of approaches, but they all involve becoming more aware of

what is really going on in you. You may want to talk with a health

professional. Or you might want to start some kind of meditation

program under the guidance of a good teacher. You might also want to

start with some physical activities like chi kung, tai chi, or yoga.

It's also important that you get sufficient aerobic exercise. You

should probably also look at what you eat to make sure you are

getting appropriate nutrients. Fast food, junk food, and too many

high glycemic carbos can greatly contribute to stress reactions.

 

You might also want to look closely at your breathing. The way many

of us breathe (fast, upper-chest breathing) increases the liklihood

of stressful reactions in our lives. A simple self-help remedy to

help deal with stress is to learn how to lengthen your exhalation, so

that it is longer than your inhalation. One good approach is to do

pursed-lip breathing whenever you feel highly stressed. You simply

exhale through your mouth as though you were very gently blowing out

the candles on a cake (without actually blowing them out), then wait

for your inahaltion to take place when it's ready. Be sure the

inhalation takes place through your nose. You will be able to find

other good information about breathing on my website.

 

With my best wishes,

 

Dennis Lewis

Essential Oils help

 

This is my first time to post here but I read faithfully and love the

informations everyone give. I would like some advise. I have a

friend who had ovarian cancer and was given the all clear three

months ago and now just found out she has liver cancer and the

prognosis is not good. I am new at using oils and have been having

fun experimenting and would like to find something to help her sleep

and feel more at peace, am wondering if there is an essential oil or

oils I can mix with my carrier oil to use as a roll on when she feels

she needs it.

 

Lynn

Re: HELP! FRIEND IN TROUBLE!!!/Dee

 

Dee,

Yes, but I don't know what all they have her on.

Dawn

 

 

is she on post surgical pain medication? That should

be a consideration before treating her with anything

else.

Peggy --

 

A suggestion (if it hasn't already been covered -- I'm overwhelmed by

postings from, I suspect, far too many groups):

 

You are, I think, a recognized expert on crystals and healing.

Judging from what I've read that you've written, if you're not, you

certainly should be.

 

To that end, I recommend writing a book and publishing it. It won't

cost you anything (except the time needed to organize and write it) if

you do something along the lines of

http://www.lulu.com/static/on-demand-books1.php

 

No, they aren't paying me anything to say this. Yes, I think -- with

some word-of-mouth promotion among peers -- you'll see money from it.

 

Now get to it!

 

John.

Thanks but I don''t think I am an expert on crystals or healing or

anything else, just an enthusiastic explorer.

I had thought I'd write a book or organize some of what I've written

into a publishable form but have had so many obstacles arise that I'm

not certain that is supposed to happen. We'll see

 

Thanks everyone for your prayers energy and suggestions .It is probably

time to go quietly within and see what emerges I have refreshed some

manifestation efforts and am clarifiying my focus and so forth so that

at this time I remind my self that when the farmer plants a seed they

have to allow it ime to grow .
