Although once a person gets back on an alkaline diet, the infection happily seems to take care of itself. I guess horses and Humans aren't that different ;-) The interesting thing about Vit C is that horses make their own. Some forward thinking Docs have pointed out the possibility that Humans used to make Vit C also, but from some genetic mishap we lost this ability. A real drag as virtually all other animals create Vit C which prevents a myriad of diseases that Humans are struggling with.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 My teacher said something that I have been to lazy to follow myself but someone with more motivation may wanna heed this: " Eat only what you can take from nature yourself Want to eat potatoes? Can you cultivate and dig up and prepare? Want to eat meat? Can you kill and prepare the animal you want to eat? " Holger Hi Holger, I like your post. I lived on farm in Minnesota without electricity or running water. Your teacher's admonition was our life by default. Earlier in the year we had a flurry of exchanges on CHA regarding eating food that " looks like what it is " ... which is to say not processed and not in a box. There's some merit in this too without having to own a farm or live on a commune. Emmanuel Segmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 >>> This is only if the person is in severe metabolic stress. Two situations that I know of are if a person is in the last stages of response to stress, the body will start to dump calcium which will show very alkaline. It is an extreme case that shows very alkaline. Interesting - when you say 'last stages' do you mean adrenal exhaustion or very high cortisol or ...? I think I have seen that 'dumping' once - lots of grey limestone coloured sediment on the stable floor after mucking out. >>> Also, if there is kidney trouble, a body may hold on to potassium which will also show very alkaline. Yes, some retain it, some dump it - in Cushings proper. >>What form of metabolic testing were you looking into? What was the name of the company involved? If you do a google search on the phrase 'metabolic typing' the particular doctor promoting it will come up, there were only a few hits. Someone found an article on the subject and we were looking at the possiblity of monitering saliva as a prevention method or early warning system. Problems with acidity are a very marked effect in Equine metabolic Syndrome - they have lots of trouble with gastric ulcers, and often need buffering minerals and an alkalising diet. Ulcers are an obvious consequence, but laminitis is also linked to caecal acidity, leakage of exotoxins and vaso-active amines etc, and we think there may be broader more systemic 'cellular inflammation' which is linked to acidity somehow. They also certainly respond to many of the things you listed funnily enough - high level Vitamin E, ALA, Co Q10 - plus bio-flavinoids and mineral antioxidents like copper and selenium. We tend to avoid C somewhat because they should produce it themselves, and it frees up pro-oxident iron which is a problem in horses who have no mechanism for excretion. Horses never needed such heavy loading with extra anti-oxidents before, but I notice now the petfood companies are increasing their levels too.

I don't know what made me think that - maybe a search on the work of Dr.s Guenter Enderlein and Otto Warburg only got a few hits, there's a million on metabolic typing!. Anyway, the following site was the one which I bookmarked: http://www.bloodph.com/research/research_main.html Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess horses and Humans aren't that different ;-) They are a little ...a bacteria has never been identified in horses, though I have heard of one or two vets who treat with antibiotics, and we find Aloe Vera helpful. But, because they are a herd/moving/browsing creature, they are stressed by the confinement of stabling (liver qi stagnation?). Something like 80% of racehorses therefore have gastric lesions - it's horrifying. Turn them out to grass - and they will heal on their own in a month, confined they will not. When my horse was overloaded with (professionally prescribed) qi tonics a gastric ulcer was the end result (liver attacking stomach?). Bai Shao really helped him anyway, was more effective than ranitidine for him. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 hi, sounds like when one gtes exhausted due to stress there is dumping of calcium. isn't this osteoporosis. is this not what we talk about loss of kid energy during some of the following conditions.-- after delivery, during pregnancy, overwork, exhaustion, high stress, lack of sleep consistently, aging, then is this nott the proof that we need as far a s acupuncture is concerned. why are we loking for corelating WM values to acupuncture. TRY & LOOK AT ACUPUNCTURE/TCM VALUES & HOW WM FITS INTO THE MOULD. this is so as TCM/AP has more depth as a science. anand --- jackie <Jackie wrote: > > > >>> This is only if the person is in severe > metabolic stress.

TRY & LOOK AT ACUPUNCTURE/TCM VALUES & HOW WM FITS INTO THE MOULD. this is so as TCM/AP has more depth as a science. anand Hi Anand, I wouldn't say this is the only relation to Kid Qi depletion after stressful situations. Particularly carrying and delivering a child. Not only is there are loss of calcium, but minerals in general, EFA's, digestive challenges, adrenal challenges, hormone challenges and neurotransmitter challenges, among others. When carrying a child, a women's body is cranked, or turned on in a very special way. It is allowed to operate at a level not normally available. Almost every nutrient is drawn on at an accelerated rate. The women's body is allowed to pull nutrients from deep levels if necessary to support the fetus. I believe this is in part because of a powerful spiritual connection that allows this accelerated energetic and emotional life to evolve though pregnancy. Post partem depression is in part because a spiritual connection that was felt while pregnant, seems to dissolve, and the body is left with a severe deficiency of nutrients and neurotransmitters. This unquestionably effects the adrenals and would be considered Kid Qi def. Some ramblings after a long hard day, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Chris Ive made changes in my diet I read alot of things online from the www and the last 2 days I started eating okra and I believe its the food that helped me the most. Its funny that this okra is a common food in my culture that is known to help bowl functions, but I was busy taking chinese herbs and not thinking about the food that actually gives the help. I recommend Okra to anyone that has my problem too. In 2 days my coated tongue is no more and my teeth marks are less. I only have a large central crack and some red spots left to take care of that shows on my tongue. I can digest easier. I will order the enzymes soon and see how that works Ill tell you if it helped me out or not. Next I need to fix my clogged up urine flow you think uvi ursa is ok or is there better herbs or foods for that? Thanks again for your words of wisdom. I will keep you updated about my condition.
