Re: Mother's Advice, att: Rabbit Ears!

Hi G!

I forgot to make a comment about this:

>> I'm pretty sure the things biting my butt right now, are the same things that bite my throat and wake me up at night, they just migrate from the chest to the rear end, back and forth.

You may have the "same things" on both ends. It is my understanding that colonies of parasites tend to stay in a particular location with some parasites "scattering" to different locations. I believe that it may be hard for them run up and down your entire tract in a day. The entire tract is 26 feet long -- 20 feet (small intestine) and 6 feet (colon).

It is probable that you may have a colony or several strays somewhere near the stomach (or chest as you suggested) granting easy access to the throat, and a colony somewhere lower in the colon. Just my thoughts on them going "back and forth". I'd be interested in knowing other's thoughts on this.

As for the ones coming up at night. I've experimented with controlling the ones in the throat for sleep and have suggested this at times. Over a period of time you'll need to rotate the herbs every several weeks. Any of these have helped alone and/or combination:

fennel
cloves
rosemary
sage
garlic
onion
hot spices
bitter herbs

Take a teaspoon or a "pinch" and chew several times to release the oils from the herbs. Don't swallow and go to bed with the herbs in your mouth. As you sleep the oils will be released between your teeth. With doing this simple thing, you might find some relief along with a good night's rest.

Best of Health!
