Must read, folks :) Re: You're WELCOME! Ashwagandha ROCKS!! n/m Re: Ashwagandha...thanks Uny!

Here's the sweet part - adaptogens are actually healers :) Well, they are, IF you continue to address the CAUSE of the adrenal distress (which was certainly NOT a 'lack of ashwagandha'!). The basic cause for adrenal distress is "stress"....not a lack of supplements or pharmaceuticals.

The adaptogens heal by 'adapting your body' back/closer to it's truly normal state, and helping the organs/system to adapt to 'whatever state' the body is in. So, if you take advantage of that and address/remove the cause of the adrenal distress (plus do anything else the body may need to 'assist'***), then you'll just softly/smoothly fade back to a normal state. But if you do the typical thing ("Wow, I feel so much better, I'm gonna jump right back into my 'normal' life that CAUSED the adrenal distress), then the Ashwagandha becomes 'just another bandaid'. And if you do that, you'll need more and more Ashwagandha to achieve the relief you're experiencing now.

*** Lack of Assimilation with adrenal distress: this seems to be a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" kind of thing...(which causes which?)...but lack of assimilation is almost always found concurrent with adrenal distress. So it's IMPERATIVE you're getting an ample supply of easy to assimilate nutrition - lots of Superfood and lots of fresh juices. Everybody alive should be taking at least 2T of Superfood daily (we simply canNOT get enough vital nutrients from our foods, even when our diet is flawless); I take 4T of Superfood daily 'as a general rule' and 6T whenever I'm in any type of 'healing mode'. If you're not already, stay *totally* away from mucous-forming & hard to assimilate foods...basically anything that comes from something that 'had a face on it', or any part of the carcass of the same - flours & heavy grains are not so good either.

Yes, you may use the Lung Formula (and any other of the earth's natural foods/herbs while cleansing and restoring your body to health). Many of the herbs ARE actually foods in other countries. Burdock root is considered a vegetable (like potatoes) in the orient; Bilberry & Hawthorn are made into pies, jellies, jams & tarts in Europe. And if scripture counts to you, there are many admonitions throughout texts of various religions that indicate 'the herbs of the field will be as meat to your body'.

Of course, that doesn't mean we shouldn't use knowledge & common sense - even too much water can kill us!

>>>>You rule...I just spent $550 on a naturopath who performed all sorts of tests without explaining them and then sent me out the door with a bag full of supplements!<<<<

'Sorry to hear you were mugged :( Any decent healer can generally determine what's at issue & how to heal it by sitting and talking, questioning (and LISTENING!) to a person for a half an hour (or less)...and most "blood level tests" can indicate TOTAL falsehoods. Check this out! http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/398167/VitaminCunknown.txt
(I did not write it)

So, if you took a few hundred/thousand mgs of Vitamin C for a few days before going to an ND, your tests could come back:
--low in copper, which can adversely effect hormone levels, and lead to anemia
--low in adrenaline
--high in iron -which can cause...
--...a drop in magnesium - which leads to...
--...reduced calcium absorption/osteoporosis
--low in protein
--lowered ventricular function
--increased iron also raises blood sugar

And all this, from THE most "innocent" supplement any of us know of. Just IMAGINE what happens if you start taking OTHER supplements to correct issues you don't even have...that were caused by Vitamin C. Hmmm, the ND's could get you for thousands/tens of thousands and years later you'd still be sick or sicker. And people think when they turn away from allopathic medicine & MDs to "alternative" medicine they're no longer getting scammed and being made sick.

Big food for thought - the greatest and most successful natural healers of our century have all been brutally persecuted, jailed, had their clinics raided, records/products destroyed, and Gerson even died of "arsenic poisoning". These healers THREATENED the plans and profits of the Posers That Be...and they paid the price for doing so.

Now then, just why do you think the PTB don't bother with the NDs and "alternative healers"? ruh-ight. Alternative medicine doesn't pose ANY threat. Oh sure, the PTB ain't stupid...they slap a few wrists every now and then just to keep all the sheeple conditioned. But they're not battering down doors and slapping handcuffs at gunpoint on the ND's and 'nutritional counselors'.

>>>>I'm following you from now on, wholeheartedly! Thanks for being a beacon of light in some pretty shady times!<<<<

You're MORE than welcome...being a beacon of light is a very good thing :) BUT....do NOT follow "me"...follow my example! Learn, learn, LEARN how to heal yourself and why what I say makes sense. Then 'they' can NEVER mug you again, you'll be your OWN beacon, your own doctor, you'll be TOTALLY in control of your own health for the rest of your life and you'll be able to illuminate the pathway for others!

Our dream, OUR goal, and the reason for this forum...to change the world one person at a time :) And the more "me's" I can inspire, the faster that WILL happen :)

Heal ON!!!
