Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Dear Diana, Kefir unless made with goat's milk is Acid Ash and so are Blueberries. Most fruits including Pineapple are Alkaline, but Blueberries break the mold and are acidic. To break the cravings you need to be on the Total Nutrition. It's the Astragalus in the TN that does this.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi Diana, I have never been a big breakfast eater, so I just have some fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and then my Total Nutrition drink. That holds me wonderfully until lunch. My husband usually has a little something more, usually toast. I would suggest trying the Ezekiel breads (sprouted grains, which are alkaline) and use coconut oil on the toast instead of butter. You could also make a morning cereal with some sprouted grains (winter wheat) and nuts (almonds), some cinnamon and fresh fruit (apples, bananas, or strawberries - whatever's in season), use some apple juice for moistness. It's very good!! Hope this helps.

Re: Anorexia nervosa Posted by: " sharon weizenbaum " sweiz swzoe2000 Thu Dec 6, 2007 8:19 am (PST) Hello all, I agree with everyone that Anorexia Nervosa is complex and multilayered but I have had some real successes with it (some failures as well). Here are some of my thoughts and ways I have worked to provide the best chance for a positive effect. The first thing to recognize is that the feeling of fatness is not purely in the mind. When a patient has not been eating for a long period of time or has been eating strangely or vomiting a lot after eating, the digestive system shuts down and becomes blocked. There is often a profound feeling of fullness or bloating after eating the smallest amount of food. When there is bloating and pressure, one has the physical experience of being fat that has nothing to do with weight gain. In addition, there is, in every case I have seen, a very poor appetite with an aversion to food. It is very hard to eat when there is bloating, fullness and a poor appetite. It simply feels terrible to eat. So, the desire to not eat is not purely mental but also related to physical sensations. Secondly, because of the above, I have actually primarily worked with this condition as an excess - in spite of the obvious deficient signs and symptoms. I have worked with the diagnosis of food stasis, Qi depression and glomus as an initial approach with success in quite a few cases. If a patient is very weak, I combine this the with Cinnamon type formulas such as Xiao Jian Zhong Tang, Gui Zhi Tang or Gui Zhi Jia Long Gu Mu Li Tang - though the emphasis is on the excess. Thirdly, my goal in this illness, as well as in most weight loss patients, is to improve the appetite. Most weight loss patients actually eat less than the average weighing people in my experience. Also, most weight loss patients have a poor appetite, often not eating until they are weak because the normal healthy appetite is not present. Finally, I council these patients and weight loss patients about how a good appetite helps you loose unhealthy weight and feel good, which is true. A good appetite is the sign of a strong metabolism that can transform food an fluids into energy. A poor appetite is an indication that transformation is poor and that accumulations can develop. Many patients really " get " this and become excited when their appetite begins to return - knowing that they are now processing foods better. For the anorexic patient, when they are able to take in foods without becoming distended, they do become more attracted to food. I use acupuncture to promote the appetite as well and mostly to calm the spirit. Hope this helps, Sharon Sharon Weizenbaum 86 Henry Street Amherst, MA 01002 413-549-4021 sweiz www.whitepinehealingarts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
