Sebzzz, why worry? All you'd be doing is consulting with a medical dr. MDs aren't going to hold a gun to your head to do something you don't want to do.
Ask them to run the tests as if it was a yearly physical. At the very least they'd do a blood test to see if everything was normal.
If everything is totally normal, it still wouldn't be a loss. You'd have a record of where you are now. Do

In one herb school I was taught how to make a syrup of molasses and the root of Curly dock (Rumex crispus). Yes, it was a cooked formula.
I was taught that the combination of the chemical constituents of the molasses and the chemical constituents of the Curly dock roots made the iron more absorbable.
The formula was given to us when we were discussing pregnant women becoming iron anemic an

Bingo!
My suggestion for people to practice walking barefoot backwards was to show how the muscles of the feet are meant to work when walking.
Most people walk as if they're wearing shoes even if they aren't wearing shoes. By wearing shoes they've trained the muscles in their

For how to use your feet properly when you walk, try walking in that safe place backwards.
Observe which part of your foot hits the ground, how it rolls, and how it pushes off.
When you walk forwards, what are you doing differently?

If there's one thing I learned studying Western herbs by Traditional Chinese Medicine, American Indian herbal, and Western herbal traditions its that all plant life are herbs.
If anyone wants to get scientific, take some course work in Biochemistry. All plant life consists of chemical constituents. There's no fruit, vegetable, grain, seed, root, or bark out there that isn't going to influence

I'm surprised no one has yet to have mentioned the possibility of diabetes.
The test for diabetes is a simple one easily done in a dr.'s office.
Those who are diagnosed diabetic can still drink fruit juices. They just have to monitor their blood sugar a lot and carefully plan accordingly.

An acupuncturist trained in Asian an tradition of acupuncture and he made the suggestion based of reading your pulse, checking your tongue, et cetera?
Did he share the results of his assessment using Asian technical terms describing the

70. Re: Breath.
A short term resolution might be eating or drinking something with a fare amount of chlorophyll in it.
Just chewing or rinsing with something isn't going to help if the smell is coming up from deeper than your mouth though. You'd have to swallow if that's the case.
But bare in mind, bad breath can be a symptom of a lot more than what you just ate.
A long term resolution might come from co

Yes, and if you're not always buying organic, from a farm stand, or growing your own the pickle sized cukes never have been dipped in wax or oil. You don't have to peal the skins off.

When you juice wheatgrass you separate the juice from the cellulose making the nutrients are more accessible.
Grass eating animals can digest cellulose because they

Wheatgrass bitter?
I'm reminded that "bitter" is one of the five flavors of Traditional Chinese medicine
and one of the six flavors of Ayurveda.
Bitter has a therapeutic function if that's what one needs.
Generally speaking, bitter can inspire some of one's own digestive enzymes to flow.

You can compost meat, fish, dairy in a fermenting (anaerobic) compost system like a "bokashi".

Thank you Arkay. I think anyone who's also had a couple colonoscopies would concur.
Might it be not so much that its old incrusted stuff but rather alleviate immediate poisoning from current permeability. That would also give hint as to why some people could get addicted to enemas.

You do know that commercially frozen vegetables are usually blanched before freezing?
One might expect the heat of the blanching process to denature some of the enzymes, no?

The first thing that came into my mind when deciding it was time to grow my own wheatgrass for juicing was to use the worm castings from my vermiculture as the soil.
I live urbanly and keeping what passes as a traditional compost bin isn't practical.
For a couple years I kept an anaerobic composter called a bokashi that used fermetation to process the compost. The final stage of that proce

What was the criteria that your herbalist friend used to decide to use St. John's Wort? Peripheral sensory neuropathy is a symptom caused by any of a multitude of various etiologies.
One herb doesn't fit all.
Just a wild guess here. Have you been tested for Celiac disease or other disorders that affect nutritional absorption?

Hi LikeItOrNot,
By "insulin resistant" are you type 2 diabetic?
in that your body recognizes carbohydrate consumption and releases insulin but the insulin receptors aren't doing their job?
which would mean in addition to large amounts of sugar in your blood, you also have large amounts of insulin in your blood that can't do what its supposed to do?

Hi Claire,
If you've got type 1 diabetes, don't you have to mechanically check your blood sugar levels on a regular basis to adjust your insulin dosages?
Wouldn't that test tell you how the consumption of any food affects your blood sugar levels?
