Guest guest Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Hello Anna Marie Page, I am very sorry to hear about your plight. So many strokes at such a young age. I do not know where you reside but I would strongly suggest that you find some ground cayenne (habenero, the hottest you can find) and begin taking it. Cayenne is extremely beneficial at bringing back elasticity to the arteries and veins by feeding elements that may be lacking in the cell structure of the veins, arteries, and capillaries. When your veins become clogged with sticky mucus then the blood has a harder time flowing, hence needs higher pressure to push it through. Cayenne regulates the flow of blood from your head to your toes. I would suggest that you begin a regimen of cayenne (not in capsule form though) 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon to begin with 3 times a day at least. Do this for 1 week and then increase to maybe 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon 3 times per day. You want to get yourself where you are taking a minimum of 1 teaspoonful of cayenne powder at least 3 times per day. You can take it in fresh vege juices, spinkled onto your salad, in a cup of hot water, etc, but not in capsule form. You want to get it into your system as fast as possible. Capsules take too long as they must dissolve first. You also might wish to reflect on your diet and see if there is any mucus forming foods that you can eliminate (meats, pastas, junk food, coffee, teas, dairy products, flour products). Go with a mucusless diet and this will assist you quite a bit as well. This will help in removing the mucus from your body. This is where I would suggest that you start. But you might wish to give Doc a call and see if he might have any other advice to add.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 14, 2003 And lest I had a slight memory relapse, the seeds and flesh are both used crushed or you can eat em whole if you wish. Crushed is easier. As for onions and garlic, well garlic is far better than onions. You can eat as much as you like. It is not unheard of to hear of people eating 10 - 15 cloves per day. Just don't eat them raw by themselves. And don't cook them. You want them raw but mixed or eaten with other foods. Or best yet, throw a handful of peeled raw garlic cloves in with your diced up veggies (cucumber, parsley, tomato, leek, onion, fresh ginger, fresh horseradish root, bell pepper, cayenne, organic apple cider vinegar, cabbage, broccoli and some distilled water) into the blender and make yourself a nice cold soup that is not only very nutritious but very good for the body besides. Just do your best at obtaining organic produce. You can take these along with your medication, as these are all food, but I do believe that you may find yourself weaning off from them. Do however, consult with your physician and let him/her know what you are doing. Do not just go cold turkey from the meds. Work with the MD and hopefully the MD will work with you.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 15, 2003 Dear Anna Marie, There is really no limit to the amount of Cayenne you can take, and it should be the hottest you can find = Habaneros (1st choice) or African Bird Peppers, etc. I suppose there would be a limit somewhere on the garlic, but I don't know how high that would be. I've taken over 30 cloves in a day, and I've heard of an 80 year old woman who once was taking 50 cloves a day with no adverse effects. As is usual with herbs, "more" is usually better, and the worst that can happen on an overdose is you puke your guts out which can also be very helpful. That is the beauty of the herbal approach. Your body will reject (one way or another) that which it doesn't need ;o) You should also do a complete overhaul on your diet to ensure you're getting only "Certified Organic" foods. Stay away from unsprouted grains that have enzyme inhibitors in them. Do lots of juicing. Get yourself on a great exercise program that at least includes "running" or "rebounding". Stop watching the "News" on TV and disconnect from "Negative" people who are bringing you down. Laugh a lot. Love alot. And admire yourself at least 3 times a day. This would be a start ) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - Anna Marie Page <debussy1020 herbal remedies Friday, February 14, 2003 1:53 AM [herbal remedies] new member Hello all, I am so glad I found this list.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Hi Glen I have an L.Ac. and B.S. in Biology and am also very interested in psychoneuroimmunology--I guess a kind of offshoot of your biochemistry/neurochemistry (although I have no real technical knowledge beyond the B.S. " armchair " psychoneuroimmunologist). I was wondering if you had done any research on the effects of meditation and self-regulation beyond the external application of qi by practitioners, machines etc. Have you read " Destructive Emotions: Conversations With the Dalai Lama " by Daniel Goleman? Apparently, the Mind and Life Institute out of Boulder, Co., gets scientists from different fields together with the Dalai Lama each year to help guide their research and ask new questions. The book was very interesting and I thought you might like to look into, had read it or that perhaps you would have some educated comments about these things. I, myself, practice Tonglin meditation and find it quite helpful as well as many Medical Qi Gong practices like the Inner Smile meditation. I regard these as internal, patient empowering forms of at its best. I believe they address the emotions at the neurotransmitter level using the sympathetic/parasympathetic regulation provided by the breath (inhale=sympathetic: exhale=parasympathetic). When paired with somatic visualization (inhale anger: exhale compassion) it becomes quite powerful and completely self empowering. Of course, in this way, we prevent many diseases from ever happening, and pave the way for the body to achieve homeostasis during current disease processes. Hope this isn't too far off topic--I believe it is of utmost importance in our practices to suggest mind exercises to prevent unnecessary patient visits, expense and suffering. My patients love them and are experiencing amazing transformations not only in their health but emotional wellbeing, realtionships and levels of maturity.
