Hi Irene Marie,

 

Does the garlic burn your tongue?

 

And Comments about Doctors, and food.

 

When I was eleven, year 1938, I had boils or carbuncles. The second time

my Mother took me to a Dr. He asked what I ate I told him I drank a cup of

cream when I milked the Cows.; He told me to quit drinking cream, and He

told my mother to feed me more onions.

 

From 1961 thru 1981 I Consulted an excellent Dr. Who generally told me He

did not know the cause of most illness.

 

I feel it is important to see a Dr. for diagnosis and advice; However if

one is able, it is very important to search out and learn all on can before

selecting a remedy.

 

When I had my gall bladder out--I was in too much pain to think about

alternatives--fortunately I do not miss it. I have Gout and Acid Reflux. I

read all I can about these on the net. I do not take the conventional

remedy for either.

 

For Gout I drink more water, if a Gout attack sneaks up on me I take

indocin which stops it quickly.

 

For the Acid Reflux; I have done many things; A Google search for Dr.

Spreen is what I suggest in addition to the Gerd sites; As it seems there

are many causes of Acid Reflux. The old name for GERD was GER, The Drug

pushers added the D to stand for disease so they could advertise it more

effectively on TV. I have found that chewing acidophilus tablets or eating

plain, un-sugared Yogurt relieves my acid attacks. I take anti-acid tablets

only if nothing else is available.

 

There are many exposes of the Cholesterol Myth on the net. Homocystine

(sp) is a new indicator of Heart risk and B Vitamins lower Homocystine.

 

I also find garlic to be an excellent medication.

 

I try to follow the Caveman Diet. (search for " paleo diet " join

Cavemanfood) It is not easy. It is essentially Eat only foods that were

before farming began 10,000 years ago. Or do not eat foods invented during

the last 10,00 years. No bread, No pasta, no dairy, nothing that comes in a

package with strange ingredients. Now this is barely possible, note yogurt

is good for acid reflux. And fresh wild Salmon is seldom available, but

canned Salmon is wild and from a clean part of the ocean. Any meat raised

on natural food, like grass pasture is great, but if it is fed grain for 90

days to fatten it up, that is bad. Organic vegetables are best. Sprouts

are excellent.

 

Look up Dr. Mercola and the Omega 8001 juicer. I did; I got the Omega,

about $250.

 

 

Best Regards,

Lorenzo

Hello ;

 

I guess you can say that I don't look at doctors as being healers.

 

Instead of trying to solve a problem, they mask it with meds etc...

 

Which to me is wrong.

 

I am also not seeking for a " magic pill "

 

I know that there is no such thing.

 

I know that most people , t hat is what they keep searching for.

 

They'll be searching for long time , is how I look at it.

 

I know that doctors practice and only know what they do , by what they were

taught in med school etc...

 

Just like when I found out I had high

cholesterol................................................................
