Hi FLedgling,

Now, that was sweet! I did copy and paste that one into my favorite folder... momo

This makes me happy, Fledging!

I make soups similar to this all the time. In fact, right now I am roasting a pan full of carrots, sweet potatoes, garlic cloves, sliced shallots, fresh ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and olive oil. In about 20 more minutes, I'll puree all of this with a few springs of fresh sage and vegetable broth. Yummy!

And he's not kidding, everyone. These soups work in wonderful ways :)

I think the entire blockage moved today...painlessly.

Early this a.m. it still hurt somewhat, then subsided as I sat upright in my chair...just as it has, daily, for at least the past week.

Two days of the recipe in a row, and today, major movement!

I'm not certain a major gallstone has moved (because I couldn't feel it) but there has been some gurgling in the large intestine...perhaps I'll know tomorrow.

Small feelings in the back of the lower liver, etc., tell me this is the 'beginning of the end'...no more liver/gallbladder congestion...thank goodness!

Now I don't mind admitting that I have been scared spitless at times during this process. But...when you've had a stroke, and had nurses and doctors 'warn' you of all the things that could happen...well, I just figured I had to keep going straight ahead according to my best thinking, and, if my body coudn't take it, at least I gave it my best try.

I am finding I can take far more than I had thought...especially my kidneys. I love my kidneys and adrenals...and everything else. ...Bless them...and bless dh.

It is wonderful to fall in love, again, at age 71.

I'll let you know if anything else major happens.

Please note that I have added the parsnip into the recipe above...I simply missed writing it before.

I may remove the white potato though. I love it (with butter) when simply making this dish for supper, but I once tested 'sensitive' to white potato.

When using a food for a 'medicine', it is best to know as much as possible about one's reaction to it.

It's also best to know how the body functions. For example, I don't know how the intestines function around the illiac (sp?) valve...what is the order of things?

Does compaction of feces happen before or after that valve?

Not long ago I saw a vet surgery on the Animal Planet channel.

The animal had pieces of what looked like wire in it's stomach...three or four...about an inch long.

When those were removed, the vets went on to a mass of roughage that seemed to be blocking the bowel in the area of the illiac valve.

The two vets operating seemed undecided about which side of the valve to open...at least, that's the way it seemed to me.

What appears to be happening in my case is that the recipe I'm eating is coating pieces of firm feces with smooth/soft stool, and moving them past whatever blockage that may be there, and on out of the body in a quick and easy fashion.

It is 4:30 in the morning now.

I thought I'd stop my striding around and ask if anyone here knows or suspects how we function.

I've eaten several small bowls of the recipe each day, for three days in a row. Yesterday I didn't, and I ate a little more roughage...mainly whole wheat bread and a bowl of salad before that.

It seems to me that I ought to eat more small bowls of the root vegetable recipe, with chopped garlic and/or ginger, and keep walking.

Oh, after 'the recipe' we cooked up some spaghetti squash and I added a small spoonful of the 'in between' mixture I made when I began Humaworm. You know, the mixture that tastes terrible because I mixed the sweet and savoury kinds together...in the right proportions, but not the best taste.

With bland spaghetti squash and a piece of butter, and some coconut oil, it tasted quite good. I think I'll have some more often.

I'm ordering more Humaworm and Hu-Mana-Tea because I have only a half order of Humaworm left. My last two rounds have been badly interupted. My next round, as I figure it, begins after the first week in March. I'm glad to remember the 'in-betweens', with Hu-Mana-Tea.

I do apologize for the details I've given. It's quite likely all this is far more than you wanted to know.

But, I need to know.

I would, and do, bless any physician who teaches these things...BEFORE we need to know through experience.

For one thing DON'T remove a woman's uterus without telling her that her liver will have to to deal with the quite naturally dead blood cells that used to leave the body through menstruation.

Blood cells only live for a given length of time, and become bilirubin when they die. Bilirubin is one of the substances our livers may make into 'stones' which may block the flow of digestive juices.

That is my best understanding, so far.

I am using magnesium malate instead of magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salts) in liver flushing (at least two weeks apart). It agrees with me better, and some say it tends to break up 'stones'. Apparently, green varieties of apples contain malic acid, but I find they are too sharp in taste for me.

I'm also looking for cleaner water. Today, with the 'urban run-off', from melting snow...they added a round of chlorine (or whatever)...foul, in my opinion.

Thanks for any help you can suggest.

F.
