I find with Stevia its a quantity thing- I only need a

miniscle amount, any more and the bitterness comes

though. Great for herb teas- but only a pinch or its

bitter. I find the liquid the same, I havnt tried the

powder.

wands are often carved as you describe to be used as healing wands and

massage tools

It was probably not consulted before being carved . I would explain to

it what has happened and ask if it will work for you as a healing wand.

the shakti functions can be very effective in restoring the crystal to

harmony as can more traditional methods of clearing charging and

dedicating which take more time

I have used them on carved wands I have. Some do not seem to be able

to hold balance as well as others so you may need to repeat clear and

harmonize from time to time

I get a little confused I guess about the running by intent thing, do I

just say

something like " run energetic crystal repair " ? Is it really that

simple? I guess I have part of me that thinks it has to be more

complicated

Yes it is that simple, intend clearly to activate the function you want

to run

and think or say your intention

the exact words don't matter either " restore " , " repair " etc.

someone had asked if you had to hold the crystal until the restore

function is done and i don't know because it has always worked very

swiftly I think this function will work to completion after being

activated . certainly I do not direct the work it does.

You could combine this with the remote function and do it without

touching the crystal but I prefer hands on for this.

Give it a try and see how it works with this piece

Good Afternoon,

I am not sure there is anything that can be done about my problem. I am

thinking it is algae that sticks to the sides of my dogs water bowls

outside...is there anything that can be added to the water when filling up

the bowls to keep them from getting this? If so what is it and how much.

Thanks,

I don't know how practical this is for you, but I have a friend who

keeps his dog's water in a large rubber bowl. He has an " air tube "

running into it from a pump, which circulates air through the water,

much like a fish tank - it's the same kind used in fish tanks.

Inside the water are tadpoles and other small algae eating creatures

that keep the bowl clean. The dog drinks from the bowl and does not

seemed concerned with the things swimming around in it. The bowl

remains algae free! Intersting solution, huh?

Hi Ace , we are on a couple of other lists too ,stones that help counteract

depression include Rose quartz, Lepediolite, green and gold needle form

Selenite, holey stone, agate, gold , smoky quartz, .howlite, tigers eye,

amber , sunstone

here is an attunement you ( and anyone else ) can call in by intending to

receive it (only takes a moment to come in .its a Le'a (happiness) elixir

attunement to use this you hold a glass of water or other clear non

alcoholic beverage and run le'a into the water (like you would run Reiki or

another energy) then drink the water drink one or two glasses daily . after

a month I can do an attunement that will allow you to run it as an energy .

This attunement is from Huna.

I am sure other list members will have suggestions as well.

Hello, Ace,

A wonderful combination of stones AND aromatherapy might very very conducive

to the relieving of depressing. Wearing or holding amber while burning amber

incense is quite effective. If incense bothers you, I've still had luck just

wearing amber to relieve the blues. Sometimes we just need the sun to shine

in our lives, and amber allows us to see that on a more emotional level.

There are many stones that helps the emotions and aids depression recovery,

but quite frankly, amber has been the best for me (then again, we all attune

differently to stones). I hope this helps you, Ace.

Bright Blessings,

Aradius

Ace,

I like to use a combination of black tourmaline to absorb/transmute

negative energy and my favorite " happy stone " , peridot. Also, since

depression can feel like a bottomless pit, try changing little silly

things. If you normally put your right shoe on first, start with the

left. Put the milk and sugar in your coffee mug BEFORE pouring the

coffee in. Anything to shake things up a bit. It can't hurt!

Don't forget to ask for help. There are a wealth of energy workers on

this list alone.

Hi Kim

My husband had the same problem and I soaked his feet for 20 minutes or so in hot water with olive oil in. This helped to soften the skin and then I gently used a pumice stone to scrape away the skin buildup. Another nice soak to relax the feet and then I applied herbal cream (an ordinary moisturiser) and on the parts that were really rather sore, I applied aloe vera directly from my plant (sorry, I don't know what type of aloe plant!)

It worked great and his feet are much much better now...

Best wishes

Yvonne

Olive oil, almond oil, or sesame oil massaged into the feet. For extreme

cases, twice a day is necessary.

Sorry the headaches are not getting relieved. Chronic headaches are among

the most difficult medical problems to solve. Again, there may be a problem

on another level, not physical.

Be very cautious with Sucanat. That's in Diet Rite Cola, which a friend is

very into. It has a bad effect on me. I think perhaps it's a bit too

high-tech for the human body.

All sugar substitutes have in common the fact that they will cause cravings

for more food. The craving usually lasts about 20 minutes after consumption.

I saw a study once that showed people who drink diet sodas actually eat more

than everyone else!

Hi, Fea -- I'd recommend Azurite-malachite (which is a good liver

helps dissolve tumors and other unharmonious cell growth. Other

suggestions would be calcite and flourite. Blessings, Linda

Question

> Hello Everyone,

>

> I have type 2 diabetes, and a fatty liver!! Would it be alright to

start

> taking Niacin. Anyone know??

>

> Thanks for your help

>

> Marianne

I was getting ready to pose nearly the same question to this

list. I have been pondering the niacin question now for over a year.

I have heard conflicting reports about use of niacin for diabetics

(see below). I know nothing of fatty livers, so can't guess about

that one. Niacin does indeed raise blood glucose levels.

However, taking niacin does supposedly does not negatively impact

long-term blood glucose levels as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin

A1c (HbA1c).

Back before I fired my doctor I asked her about this very

topic & showed her the info I have placed below. I asked her if it

would be ok for me to take niacin but just adjust the blood glucose

aim points I was looking to achieve (which she had informed me should

be under 127 for fasting glucose measurement, and under 200 for post

prandial). And if so, how much should I adjust the aim points. My

doc told me not to take niacin & I should in *no* circumstances

adjust the aim points higher.

I have recently been reading the really good stuff about

niacin posted to this list & am now re-thinking the niacin question.

But I have no answers. I have no money to purchase HbA1c blood

testing. So I am nervous about taking niacin. Back last year, I

did some experimentation. Niacin does indeed spike my blood sugar &

keeps the blood glucose readings high for several days after a single

500 mg dose. The raised blood sugar appears to be cumulative (the

readings keep climbing if I take niacin daily). I have only taken

niacin for 7 days in a row, but so no plateau in my fasting glucose

readings, so I stopped. Also, the readings take nearly a week to

return to " normal " after I stop taking niacin if I have taken 500 mg

a day for a week.

Alobar

Niacin is relatively contraindicated in diabetic patients because it

can worsen blood sugar control. In selected patients, Niacin may be

used, but blood sugar control must be monitored closely.

http://www.aboutdiabetes-endocrinology.com/1_dia/dm09_cholesterol.htm

The ADMIT Study: A Randomized Trial

JAMA. 2000;284:1263-1270

There are concerns regarding the use of niacin in patients with

diabetes because of the potential negative effect on glycemic

control. In this report, Elam and colleagues describe results of a

study to assess the effect of niacin treatment on plasma lipoproteins

and glycemic control in patients enrolled in the Arterial Disease

Multiple Intervention Trial (ADMIT). The ADMIT is a prospective,

placebo-controlled trial of patients with peripheral artery disease

to evaluate the effect of niacin, antioxidant vitamins, and low-dose

warfarin on risk factors for atherosclerosis. Of the 468 participants

enrolled in the ADMIT, 125 had diabetes.

During a 12-week run in period, all patients received niacin at doses

that were increased at 4-week intervals. Subjects were then

randomized to receive either 3000 mg/d or a maximally tolerated

amount of niacin or placebo for 48 weeks.

Compared with placebo, treatment with niacin resulted in a

significant increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and

significant decreases in triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein

cholesterol in subjects with and without diabetes. Niacin treatment

resulted in a small but statistically significant increase in glucose

in patients with and without diabetes, respectively (0.4 and 0.3

mmol/L). Treatment with niacin was not associated with an increase in

glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with diabetes.

The investigators concluded that for diabetic patients who cannot

tolerate or do not adequately respond to statin or fibrate drugs,

niacin might provide a therapeutic alternative.

www.diabetesincontrol.com/issue30/item9.htm

January 21, 2003

Alobar,

I've done searches on Niacin and diabetes, and I am definetly confused

(doesn't take much) if Niacin would be helpful or not. But then I also read

that one should not take Niacin if you have liver problems, so I don't know

if a fatty liver is a severe problem. Well let's hope someone responds to

our post and gives us some insight to your question.
