Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 This article (and website) has some surprising information: " Varicose veins and hemorrhoids are both evidence of the same problem: lack of nutrients causing weakness in the circulatory system. Improving the diet and supplementing Herbal Calcium makes a big difference in the problem right away. " " The basic cause of this condition is sugar in the form of candy, beverages (pop, coffee, etc), pastries and bread. These leach out the calcium from the body. Other culprits are white flour, tobacco, and liquor. One of the first places the leaching starts is in the veinous structure of the body, drawing off the supporting calcium. This is turn weakens the veins, causing varicose veins, which will, if allowed to continue, become phlebitis. Another serious area for leaching is the bowel area, where old fecal matter has accumulated. The body tried to remove the impaction by draining as much fluid from the body as it can. There is generally enough fluid to cause a bowel movement, but the liquid which is left absorbs the sugar. It then feeds into the veins and leaches out the tensile strength of the veins in the lower bowel area. When straining for a bowel movement, the veins have more pressure exerted, and in turn, the weak walls break and result in a varicose condition called piles or hemorrhoids. " http://www.herballegacy.com/id101.htm On other websites it says that pregnancy, high estrogen birth control pills, hot tubs, high impact activity, and high heels, aggravate the condition. Just an FYI: Edgar Cayce said in one of his readings to use not only carrots, but their green, feathery tops (in salads or soups). They contain more nutrients than the carrot. They taste a little bitter, but are do-able. Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
