well I seemed to be doing better, 3 days ago ,then hit a snag that night,
so I started taking my pau d' arco extract 3 times a day,
and the pascalite about 2 times a day..
and sorry to say *unsalted crackers* lol
to at least help absorb more of the excess juices in my tummy.
Today, I have eaten quite abit yeah!! and no tummy problems yet.
In fact , I am ravenous !! lol
The pau d'arco extract seems to be turning this whole scenario around rapidly.
I am so happy I had the extract here, since I also have bark and power forms...
but I would have then had to mess with making teas and soaking bark overnight etc.
Thanks again so much for all the wisher wells,
I am sure all that wonderful energy helped me greatly as well.
Love,
Ami Joi Benton

I was just thinking, my daughter has gotten the stomach flu three times this winter,
What I like to do is put six drops of Iodine ( Lugols ) in a half glass of juice to kill anything that may be lurking. Sometimes thats all it takes, sometimes it just takes its own time.
Oh and I made the Barley soup today, thanks for reminding me to put in the barley first- so much better that way.
Take care and dont forget that raw honey, hon!
Love,
Me :)

This is a reply to # 358,790yes I really like Raw organic honey,
I also take a bit of bee pollen,
but when all this started up I dropped alot of what I was doing,
cause I knew it wasn't staying in me anyhow lol
Altho I did keep up my vitamin Crystals as best I could.
Bee pollen kept in frdige has an excellent shelf life,
(most say 1 year but others say 1-3 years if kept moisture free)
The propolis has like a 3 year in fridge shelf life!
and is incredible stuff.
The royal jelly interestingly is far more expensive,
very short shelf life and for what it;s worth in my opinion
is really lesser value overall then the pollen or propolis
These kind of products need to be carefully started even just one to 2 granules
at a time to make sure you have no allergic reaction to them.
umm be sure to check your raw honey,
I am sure you already know this,
I am just posting it in here in case others read it:
Really organic raw honey will be DARK in color
This is not a rule of thumb , since there are other raw honeys that are lighter colored, I am just saying be sure it says certified organic/ raw.
the commercial stuff that has been *processed/ heated etc,
will be a light color and will probably say pure /grade A, etc..
I get mine from http://sunorganic.com
it is raw california wild flower honey usda certified organic
the one lb container is a good size to start with.
I get alot of stuff from there esp sprout seeds, and red lentils,
adzuki beans, my barley and rolled oats, barley flour,
basmati rice, their saurkraut is very good.
(I eat a bit now and then,)
NOTE!! do not buy the figs or dates there tho,
(the ones that come from turkey anyhow rofl!)
pretty much anything else I have bought from them has been top notch.
They ship fast, I have never had a messed up order etc..
umm hmm but the roasted sunflowers were roasted in soy oil..
(alot of vegan type places still think soy and canola oil
are ok when they are toxic)
you can dry roast nuts very easily on your own in oven,
or even in a light oil of better choice,
like sunflower oil (oleic) or olive oil , sesame oil etc
.. no peanut butter oil please 8) or peanut products /full of molds and fungus
Geez I must be feeling better, lol,
I actually got on my soap box again !!
please pardon my bramblings and ramblings *smile*
I hush *)
HEY!!
I hope you have a great Valentines day !
Love to you !!

This is a reply to # 358,797I love the soap box you get on, ( I wouldnt call it a soap box :-) we learn a lot when people with experience share what has worked so well with them and are kind enough to pass on this knowledge through trial and error, my thanks to you.
I m excited to say I travelled to the Northwest and bought my honey from a local single family owned and operated bee keeper. Great stuff from the hive to the container. It is not dark either, I heard/read the color depends on the time of season. It was not thick? It was very pourable. The bee keeper did say his bees were not producing like they used to. All the bees work was done on wildflowers grown in pristine ( compared to big cities ) conditions.
A lot of soy is used in nuts and seeds sadly. Did you get old figs from Turkey? Too dry right? LOL
I laugh because I have found lots of fun stuff from dates packed from Overseas, like those little black bugs dont know the name now, I think they are called clover bugs- which take over your whole cabinet and then some! Really have to be careful with things. I didnt know where they were coming from, then I examined the tin of dates- they were digging out little houses for themselves- that went in the trash real fast!
lol

This is a reply to # 358,802That is what I was saying, is there are exceptiosn to every rule...
if you bought.. straight from the farm , then you are in great shape lucky you !
I think it does have something to do with flowers, season, etc..
in general alot of folks buy in stores the kind that can still say *raw*
cause the labeling laws can be gotten around so easily ,
when in fact, they are buying the heated processed kind.. and how to spot this,
is by color which is normally very light/ pale (generally )
Yes, I think the whole thing I had started with the date from Turkey.
after I bit into it / I noticed the black mold by the pit *(,
just as I got the horrible taste in my mouth.. I spit it out of course,
but I know that I did swallow some of the juice my slaliva had already started.
My son looked inside one and these was a live worm inside its pit..
about an inch long like a little caterpillar.
just lovely ... no more turkey dates for me!
Well those are some of the risks we take with unpreserved raw unsulphured imported foods from faraway countries organically grown lol !
I am certainly not going to give up organic raw foods by any means!!
It was a once in a blue moon bad situation.
I have learned, next time I will open and inspect all my dates lol
before using roflamo ! (I love dates btw)
I am still trying to find out shelf life of shredded coconut kept in fridge,
if you hear anything along that line I would love to know..
My son found a bag we had forgotten about on a lower back shelf of fridge..
So we have been trying to figure that out, since there is no expiration on the bag.
anyhow happy valentines day,
Love,

This is a reply to # 358,804Ill let you know about the coconut. :)
First instinct is to drip some Colloidal Silver on it. Then go by smell, then see if its getting slimy at all.
Coconut may be a very long lasting thing since there is hardly any moisture with some kinds.
Take care! and hope you have a great week as well~
Love, me :-)- thanks! yes it is still dry 8) n/m Wrenn 18 y 1,305
