licorice & question

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

You do want to be cautious with licorice too. It can raise the blood

pressure and is a concern for anyone with blood pressure problems or on

meds.

 

I also have a question. We are hoping to adopt 4 children (ages 4, 2, 1, due

in august). All have been drug exposed. I want to treat the newborn for

withdrawals and try to bring in milk to nurse him. (don't ask me, I just

know it is a boy, a gut feeling). Also, I plan on using brain nourishing

herbs and nutrients for all of them.

 

Of course, with adoption, everything can fall through, so we are praying and

hoping and preparing.

Thanks for your help,

Kim in UT

> Dear Rochelle,

> Glad I could help.

> As you probably know - treat old people like children.

> Small Doses at first and check their diet.

> For instance, Licorice has a slighly laxative effect.

> My mother is on Cayenne Pepper which, as a side effect, increases

> the peristallsis of the intestines.

> My mother was on a licorice tincture to help her joints. It works

> very well for older people who don't like taking nasty tasting things

> and she had increased her physical activty quite a bit - walking twice

> the distance every night and not waking up with pain in her hips.

> Therefore, the combination of licorice and the small amount of

> cayenne pepper (a normal adult can eat up to a tablespoon three times a

> day) can cause diarrhea (and, in fact did - so I took her off the

> licorice for a while).

> Microwaves damage the molecular structure of the food that one eats.

> It actually turns some foods into a body poison.

> I will find the web site - I have to go now but will look later.

> Sorcy - do you have it handy?................

> Good luck Rochelle - your mother is lucky to have your advice and
