Thanks to everyone > for taking the time to read this. > Gina Gina Glad you are a part of the group, and I can see you've already received some excellent suggestions from other members. I just have a few basic suggestions...Not sure if you're a reader...but a basic book for anyone trying to make some positive changes in their lives... " You Can Heal Your Life " , by Louise Hay...the library carries it if there's not a book store near you. Also I am quite fond of the Bach Flower essences and their use in helping our emotions regarding negative situations. There are 38 different essences for various emotions and situations...feel free to email me with any specific questions. Also, having the problem of losing weight after a child...I've also been there...like someone else suggested..I put my daughter in the stroller as soon as the weather was fairly warm enough...and if the weather was bad...the shopping malls open at 8am for walkers...it's great! Just start with one change at a time... Katy Master Herbalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 Hi Gina, I have too much time on my hands right now, so if you want I' can help you. In my opinion your depression is primary to be dealt with. It affects your whole energy cycle, it stops you to get rid of fluids and causes you to overeat. You have to know that in my opinion there are three steps: 1. getting you off your depression. 2. loving yourself as you are [fat]. 3. loosing weight as a non important thing. This is the way I know you may choose other ways too, this is difficult but simple. Choose your way and may you succeed doing so.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 schisandra chinensis Hi...I normally just read the posts, but thought I would give a little response on this one. I got this from www.gardenbed.com: Latin Name: Schisandra chinensis Habit: A Medium Growing Deciduous Climber Habitat: Mixed forests, especially on the margins, also by streams and brooks, usually on sandy soils[74]. Height: 9.0 Cultivation Details: Prefers a rich well-drained moisture retentive soil[11, 200]. Prefers a slightly acid soil but tolerates some alkalinity if plenty of organic matter is added to the soil[200]. Requires some protection from the most intense sunlight[200]. Plants succeed in quite deep shade and are suitable for north-facing walls[219]. Plants are intolerant of drought[K]. The fully dormant plant is hardy to about -17°c, though the young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. Plants climb by twining around supports. Any pruning is best carried out in the spring[219]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. Propagation Notes: Seed - best sown in the autumn in a cold frame[200, 238]. Pre-soak stored seed for 12 hours in warm water and sow in a greenhouse in the spring[238]. Germination can be slow and erratic. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in light shade in the greenhouse for their first 2 years. Plant them out into their permanent positions in early summer. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 5 - 8cm with a heel, August in a frame. Overwinter in the greenhouse and plant out in late spring[11, 78]. Good percentage[78]. Layering of long shoots in the autumn[200]. The information above has been supplied solely via the hard work and dedication of the team at 'Plants for a Future'.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Thanks, mantas5. I'm going to remember gardenbed.com. I want to start growing a lot of the herbs I use, and schisandra chinensis is one of them. Victoria > response on this one.

No doubt at all, this is when western medicine is best. Use the antibiotics. The best option, is to use IV antibiotics with TCM to support the Immune system.
