Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 >let me suggest some sun flower seeds for your problem. thank you - Sunflowers is on the list of things I am allergic to-- however I will go back to taking Milk Thistle ... I took a break from that for a while and it might not hurt to take it again since during the summer my liver enzymes were elevated thanks for the reminder! > >the lower rib pain is in TCM the liver acting up. > thanks for letting me know! >sunflower seeds act on the Large Intestine and calm the liver. try it, it really works for me. > stay away from spicy food does that include curry and tumeric which is supposed to be healing ... ? >and if you eat other nuts, make sure you chew them properly. > see now there is the rub. I eat almonds when I can't get regular home cooked food at home -- several times a week, in fact, as I carry them with me. I wonder if that is what the problem is. Thanks for telling me about that as well I wouldn't have suspected the raw almonds. :-) >sunflower seeds are supposed to stop diarrhea too. Ya know, now that I think about it, the liver points in my toes are hurting too. A lot less than when I got the acupuncture, but it is still there. Liver of course! Please let me know about the curry ( & tumeric) as I use it or tumeric in all of my cooking ..... I don't use black pepper ever. Rarely cayenne. Occasionally ginger but not usually. Usually curry & /or tumeric. Not a lot or enough to change the color much. .... just for flavoring. Someone told me it was good for the liver. Maybe that is too much right now? Perhaps I need to cut it out. Cheers, Cat ^. .^ ~ " A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
