Peter;

Sorry I haven't seen you on line, but I think I will wait until I get

T-1 and I don't know when that will be. I found out I have liver

problems. Two weeks ago Thursday night, I was having trouble sleeping

so I got up and had a half a glass of wine and watched the stock

market open 3:30 AM my time, and went back to bed. Got up the next

morning and went to work and we had random drug and alcohol tests. I

was chosen for alcohol test. This was at 7:30 AM. Although I passed

with flying colors. He said I did have some alcohol in my blood. I

told him what happened, and he said I have a bad liver. He said all

traces of alcohol should have been gone in one hour. He also noticed

I have a yellow cast to my skin. But I have always been slightly

yellow. All of my adult life. Yikes!! So now I am on a big campaign

to heal my liver. I checked out this web site ----- they talk a lot

about liver flukes so I am using their method of killing flukes. Once

I have completed that I will do their liver flush. I am not looking

forward to that, because it makes you rather ill. If anyone has a

better idea let me know. If I have flukes in my liver, I don't think

raw food alone would help. I've been raw 4 years and it hasn't. On

that web site it says that all stones are caused by flukes.

On the bright side my little raw food group, Kona side of the Big

Island, got together for a raw potluck last Saturday. I made pizza.

Everyone enjoyed here is the recipe;

Pizza

This takes a

lot of time but not much work as you are just waiting

for things to dehydrate. Start by slicing a lot

of tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick, and dehydrate 24

hours or until dry, the reason I say a lot is because

they come in handy, and as long as your running the

dehydrator might as well fill it up.

Crust

In a food processor combine;

4 cups germinated buckwheat

2 cup grated carrot

1 clove garlic

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 cup onion

juice of 1/2 lemon

1 Tbsp spoon maple syrup

form into balls about 2 1/2 inches in

diameter. Smash them between two pieces of wax paper to

form little pizza crusts. Dehydrate for a couple

days.

Sauce

In a blender combine;

2 cups tomatoes

1/4 of one avocado

2 cloves garlic

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup fresh basil (packed)

1/4 cup fresh oregano (packed)

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Braggs or sea salt to taste

While this is blending start adding your dried

tomatoes until it is very thick. Put it on your pizza

crusts thick, then slice some red bell peppers,

mushrooms, olives and whatever and stick them on top. Serve

warm.

Hi Doug,

The odds of you having liver flukes is very small. Go to the library and ask

your librarian to help you find information on liver flukes. Find out what

countries and areas of the countries they usually found. Also, find out how do

humans contract this parasite. You may discover that this type of a parasite

does not apply to you.

Hi Doug,

Sorry to hear about the kidney problem. I hope you get to the cause

and find a remedy. Given your symptoms, it may be worthwhile to

go for a thorough check-up as I did. It could be that the pressure on

the kidney is caused by some other deficiency

Am just back from a month in the UK where I was cut off from email.

I have just had a stomach ache from eating elderberries. - I'd say

I pick a half kilo or so and ate them unwashed this morning. My brother

tells me

elderberries are slightly poisonous, his wife says the area where I

found them gets sprayed with insecticide and another person says that

insects often

lay eggs on them and on black berries which can cause stomach upsets.

First upset in years. I expect to be over it the morning... ...

nevertheless

grateful for any input on the subject.

Peter
