Guest guest Report post Posted December 31, 2006 I needle Jingming BL1 at least one time per week. I have had one case of panda eye since, but I always inform my patients before I start. I tell them that Jingming is sometimes the best point to use with certain conditions. Sometimes there is no other point to replace it. I always make sure to press the point firmly after removing the needle. I needle it 1 cun deep. I know there are doctors who needle it deeper, but I haven't found that necessary. Julian Scott has a nice little book on the treatment of eye diseases, in it there are many extra points around the eye one can needle. I think both acupuncture and herbs can be very efficacious in the treatment of eye problems. Happy New Year! Tom.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Sagiv & Tom- I also needle BL 1 (usually for insomnia) about 1 cun deep and haven't had any problems. In school we all had to practice needling that point, and at least in my class, there were no black eyes. While many people feel somewhat anxious about having that point needled, they usually find that it's effect is quite relaxing.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Tom, Pete, Fiamma thanks for your great in-puts. I cherish your information tremendously. Three times in my professional life I used ST-01 combined with GB-20 (electroacupuncture) for what we call in vet medicine " cortical blindness/intra-cranial blindness " (I am not sure how you name it in human medicine) due to hit-by-car situations in dogs = severe head injuries. 3 dogs out of three cases regain complete vision within 24 hrs; these dogs lost their vision between 10-15 days before presentation, and after they diagnosed & treated by conventional vet teams, that at the end of the therapy concluded: " the animal will stay blind for the rest of its life " . In all 3 cases the needles were inserted till they hit bone! (you might say - deep as the deep blue ocean). Apparently - I am hitting on sphenopalatine ganglion(ST-01) and otic ganglion(GB-20), both parasympathetic ganglions, well connected to brain blood vessels (ant/mid/post cerebral arteries), and I am apparently causing dilatation of the blood vessels, and allow blood to flow across blood clots (Blood Stagnation). Did any of you treated people that had stroke and used these points? Do we have more in-puts on the subject of acupuncture points around the eyes and some connection to stroke/head blood stagnation...? Happy New Year, Sagiv.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Coconut oil reduces triglycerides, reduces LDL cholesterol because none is required to transport it, and increased HDL. Good stuff! Your question begs one back -- why do you think cholesterol is harmful? Nothing in the documentation supports anything other than it being a natural function. Cholesterol only oxidizes when you're oxidizing, and plaque is made primarily of oxidized polyunsaturated and unsaturated oil you eat. The key is more dietary antioxidants and less plant oils, not cholesterol control. See the cholesterol myths: http://www.ravnskov.nu Bonnie. > can anyone tell me whats good for high triglcerides that i can take > along with the medication that i take it not working... im in the high > 400's some one told me about guggul?? any answers thanks ...

Sorry for the delay, but my emails got backed up as I was having difficulty sending/receiving them. I'm very excited to have found a group that I can use to further my knowledge of natural "organic" healing products. I've made a few changes and have already noticed some excellent results. I've lost 5 pounds and am feeling a little bit better. I'm also excited to know that I will be conversing with a naturopath an alternative physician and not the standard drugs/surgery only ones. Currenly I'm nursing a cold and unfortunately it left me with no options where I had to see my "doctor" and she prescribed me an antibiotic and cough syrup with codeine to take. Right now I don't have a better alternative so I must get over my cold and then continue my improvement process. Elizabeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son and his wife gave me a bar and I want to start making my own. Any suggestion will be welcome! Ms Janet>> Hello, Janet! The main thing with making milk soaps is to keep everything very cool. Most people put their goat milk soap into the refrigerator after pouring into the mold, and some even put it into the freezer. Otherwise, the milk will burn, turn the soap yellowish brown, and smell unpleasant (like ammonia). You might want to practice with making a few batches of non-milk soap to get the hang of soapmaking before attempting to make soap with milk. Here's a URL for an easy way to make goat milk soap: www.oregontrailsoaps.com/SuzNFIGMSoap.html I will be making some goat milk soap myself this weekend I've been using home made soap for several years and have been making it myself for a couple of years and would never go back to store bought soap, ever.

I am suppose to go see a woman in a few weeks who does make goat soap. I was wondering do you make different types of soap using different oils. Have not found many soaps using goat milk. But I am still looking. ¶ [Dave]: I've been making soap for nearly five years now. You'll like it. It's fun, and even your first attempts will probably produce a better soap than anything you've ever used. As far as different oils, there are many, but the Big Four for soaps made without animal fat are olive, castor, coconut and palm oils. Coconut and palm oils are hard oils (at room temp) which stabilize the soap and make it hard. Coconut oil produces abundant lather in any kind of water, and castor oil adds to the lather, too. Olive oil is wonderful for the skin. Castile soap is made from 100% olive oil. If you read the labels on " natural " soaps, you'll discover that in many cases the actual soap is made from coconut and/or palm oils alone, with herbs or essential oils added. This is the cheapest way to produce soap, and if you use a good selection of oils it's why you can do better at home. Milk soaps use the milkfat to create a wonderfully moisturizing bar. There are several ways you can do it. Mixing the milk directly with the lye will burn and curdle the milk and carmelize the sugars, which produces a tan soap. The horrible smell created by this process does not last, and the soap is very mild. OMH (oatmeal, milk & honey) soaps are very popular and wonderful to use. Learn the hazards and precautions necessary for working with lye. Some books would have you take so many safety measures , you'd think you were handling nuclear waste. I think that just scares people off. Use common sense. You don't wear a suit of armor when you mow the lawn, just because you could potentially cut off a toe if you stuck your foot underneath the machine. Lye can burn you, and it will irritate the heck out of your nasal passages if you happen to get a snootful of the fumes. Otherwise you could be handling table salt. I think the best precaution is to carefully think through the actual motions you will make, so that you know ahead of time where you will set things down, where they will be when you pick them up, what the actual motions you'll be making will be. Since everyone's kitchen is different, it's difficult to give more than general guidelines. Mine is like a postage-stamp, I have very little counter space, and so when I make soap I have to clear the decks and know where everything is. Having to say, run to the next room to grab your mold because you didn't set things up ahead of time, can spoil the nice smooth process, for sure. Soapmaking is easy, fun and addictive. You've been warned. _____ HYPERLINK " http://promos.hotbar.com/promos/promodll.dll?RunPromo & El= & SG= & RAND=19590 & pa rtner=spamblockerutility " Upgrade Your Email - Click here!

Guest guest Report post Posted May 25, 2007 Making milk soap is tricky. I would recommend you start out with making a simple recipe and once you have a very good grasp of a lot of the possible problems you can run into when making soap, then try a milk soap. I teach soap making classes thru the adult education of a local school district. Too bad you aren't closer, there's a class scheduled for this coming Tues. evening You can contact me off list any time with any questions you might have. What books did you read ? There are some good ones and some that I wouldn't recommend.

I teach soap making classes thru the adult education of a local school district. ¶ [Dave]: I agree that it's best to make a few practice batches using cheap ingredients to get a handle on the process. I usually recommend that newbies teaching themselves begin with Crisco as an ingredient. It is cheap, easily available, and it makes fine soap. Who knows? You may not like soapmaking. If that's the case, it would be a shame to have spent a bunch of money on exotic ingredients. I disagree about milk soap being difficult to make. Milk is different than water, and if you mix it with lye it seems to get nasty. Once you're used to how this handles, it's no big deal. You can add your milk later in the process, and you can even use powdered or condensed milk. I like to mix my milk directly with the lye, because the carmelized sugars add some je-ne-sais-quoi to the aroma of the finished product. _____ HYPERLINK " http://promos.hotbar.com/promos/promodll.dll?RunPromo & El= & SG= & RAND=31909 & pa rtner=spamblockerutility " Upgrade Your Email - Click here!

Guest guest Report post Posted May 26, 2007 Hi David, Ive not had a problem making milk soaps - but one of the things that really helps, is to mix the milk powder up, and then freeze it so it contains crystals - before adding it to the lye. And the same for milk that is already liquid. The chemical reaction is then slowed down, and the milk fats dont get scorched.

Effective for mild-moderate depression, and some claim even for major (but I don't believe that). Just watch your drug interactions (easily found by searching). I'm not sure how long it takes to work /well/. Technically it works straight away, but feeling better for it is another story. It may sound odd, and I ignored the same advice a very long time ago, but if you have any noticeably gut issues at all, then it might pay to look into dealing with that primarily. It can be surprising when depression eases rapidly through dietary change. cheers, Russ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted May 12, 2008 Caution! You'll be bombarded with sellers of everything. Your foot reflexology can do MUCH good. Turn over your client's shoes and look at them. Point out their wearing-spots and explain what is happening and what problems they can develop without correction. [My " Stature: The Key " is filled with solutions to such problems.] BTW, you should also try the FREE EZ movements shown in " BODY Reflex Therapies & Techniques " and in " CRANIAL Reflex Therapy & Techniques " . You will see results in 20 seconds! I've done this work for 44 years... it works! Don't panic and stick with it; you will help a lot of people.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Hi, I'm new here too and looking forward to sharing remedies and ideas. I live in North TX and have my own health & amp; wellness website, where I write articles on those topics, plus healthy weight loss, wellness travel and some other things. I had a beautiful herb garden when we lived in southern Oregon and made many of my own herbal remedies but haven't started any type of garden since we moved to Texas. I've been using essential oils as natural remedies for several years for all sorts of things and have had great success with them. I especially like lavender oil for sleep.
