Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I can personally attest to the miracle Corn Silk Tea can produce. In the mid 70's after the birth of my second child, I came down with repeated kidney infections. I had dealt with kidney and bladder problems since the age of 11 so I was on my last leg, so to speak. After every antibiotic failed to heal me and two years of continuous Sulphur prescrips on a daily basis, my kidney's were shutting down and dialysis was being mentioned by my doctor. I had read of the good results corn silk tea had produced in some others and decided to give it a try. Since it was late summer at this time I was able to get plenty of fresh corn and saved all the corn silk after shucking it. I drank a tea cup full three times a day and it completely cleared up my kidney problems. Since that day I always keep corn silk in my freezer for the slightest twinge, but have only had to use it twice since the 70's. If fresh corn is not available, you can purchase corn silk from companies that sell herbs in bulk. It is not expensive and good to have around for those prone to kidney problems. Rescue Remedy: I have used this for the past thirty years. It works wonders. An example is when my dh, ds-11 (at the time) and I were moving away from the only home our son had ever known. Homesick would be putting it mildly! He was so depressed and upset he could not even sleep at night. I had run out of Rescue Remedy some time back and had never remembered to get a new bottle so I made an effort to buy a bottle soon after. Two drops under the tongue for two nights in a row and he was fine. No more meloncoly or anxiety and he became his usual, happy self. This was seven years ago and I have never run out of Rescue Remedy since. I recommend reading up on the Bach Flower Remedies. One book I highly suggest is Handbook of the Bach Flower Remedies by Philip M. Chancellor. You can find it on Amazon.com new or by " used book sellers " at great prices. debora ***Make your words soft and sweet; you just may have to eat them someday.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I looked up the book you mentioned on Amazon and there doesn't seem to be anybody by the name of Philip M Chancellor. I suppose other authors have something to offer just as good. I like the idea of reserving silk from corn and freezing it. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Dear Debora, Thanks for the input. Yes, the cornsilk can work wonders. As far as the Bach Flower Remedies are concerned, I know they have worked for many, but I've never had them work with me or any in my family. I took a course on this with my alma mater, Trinity College and the Certified Natural Health Care Professionals Organization, and even made my own - fresh from the vial = still no joy. Not that I'm trying to downplay this as I've heard too many reports from those who they have worked with. I've also tried using these including the Rescue Remedy on a few of my own clients (when I was practicing) and with some there were some results but for most there wasn't. On the other hand, I've never failed with the gross herbal approach = lots of a particular herb on either myself or a client. And I haven't had a cold or a flu in over 12 years. I just don't get sick. Anywho, as much as the Bach remedies have been pushed, I'd like to keep putting in a stonger word for hard core herbals. Just more effective in my books. (my two cents;) Love, Doc Doc Shillington727-447-5282Doc - bamboochik herbal remedies Tuesday, September 13, 2005 7:17 AM Herbal Remedies - Corn Silk Tea/Rescue Remedy I can personally attest to the miracle Corn Silk Tea can produce.In the mid 70's after the birth of my second child, I came down withrepeated kidney infections.
