adrianar,
I really appreciate your reply. I have few questions however:
- I have no experience with tinctures. I read that they contain about 50% alcohol. Do you think they will be safe in pregnancy?
- How much quantity should I give her each time?
- Should I give her any one of three or all three?
- Are there any products you would like to recommend? Amazon links or any other links will help.

She is already eating fresh dandelion leaves in form of salad. I would say around half to one cup cut each day. Do you think that will help or it wont do much good?

Thanks again...

For instance "Nature's Answer Alcohol-Free Nettle Leaf, 1-Fluid Ounce" @ Amazon specifically say:

"Warning: Do not use if pregnant or nursing.
"

What do you recommend?

I don't know about Chlorophyll but if taking supplements and eating foods high in iron are helping, I would continue with that. Any seeds are very good during pregnancy, but especially sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds would be good (no more than one serving a day, pumpkin seeds are a very good source of iron). Mung beans are also very high in iron, great for pregnancy, very nutritious, good for blood Sugar issues also. I would continue with the meats that are high in iron. Eggs can help to build the strength of the body. The supplement Amla is known to help build healthy blood and treat anemia. I don't know about papaya leaves or seeds, but certainly regular fresh papaya or papaya fruit juice is safe and could be helpful. Anything with a somewhat sour flavor can help increase rakta dhatu (the red blood cell tissue), oranges, pineapple (don't overdo it), mango. Do a search on how to increase rakta dhatu using Ayurveda with foods and maybe herbs (although many are contra-indicated during pregnancy).

I found Perry's phone number and email for you. I copied this from the aboutclay website. It is a com. I cannot link. The clay she is talking about is Calcium Bentonite clay from the living clay company which she claims is very high quality. I hope you call her. I really think she can help you and your wife.

Question:
Is clay safe for elderly and pregnant women?

Answer: Yes. ... In many aboriginal tribes, the pregnant women craved eating clay. They did not eat balanced meals and take pregnancy vitamins, so they were drawn instinctively to eating clay to get their needs met. They believed it would help them get pregnant (cycling in) and thought it would help support a strong healthy fetus. They also used it topically to turn an out of position baby and to rub on their breasts to bring down their milk.

It is always important however to have a pure clean clay for internal use.

As always consult with your pharmacist if you are taking medications.
