I agree with Jason; this seems the most likely explanation. How old is

the man. what does his tongue look like. Young people or those with

internal heat must not use red ginseng by itself in most circumstances

or dampheat will arise.

 

 

I also agree. When I studied in the gyn clinic in China, we saw several cases

of uterine bleeding that were caused by women taking too much red ginseng. I

would be interested to know what your diagnosis of this man is and whether red

ginseng is an ingredient you would reccommend or not anyway. Does he show heat

signs? So, caution against taking herbs

symptomatically without differential diagnosis and against using single herbs.

Hello

Meat, veggie, and beans. Zero grain products, zero cow products. Mental as

well as psychological problems stem from poor nutrition. Go to the source

of the problem. It will be much easier and cheaper than the band aid's of

medications or herbs.

Nancy,

 

My kids use to fight like cats and dogs. I made a drastic change over a year

ago and cook basically in line with Atkins diet - high protein, low carb, NO

refined sugar or sweets, white rice or refined white flour come in the house. I

will use Splenda and buy candies sweetened with malitol on occassion. I cook

fresh whole food - meat, fruits, vegatables and a very minimal amount ever of

processed foods which are loaded with dyes, preservatives, sugar - all kinds of

garbage not helpful, especially for young kids. I'll use stone ground wheat

bread and flour, sour flour, ground flexseed and nuts in cooking. Atkins

multivitamin is standard for everyone and then other nutrients for other things

individualized. You also want to be sure they eat 3 meals, dinner should be

early by 6:00 so they can get to sleep early enough to get a full nights rest.

The later you feed them, the later they will be up, and the more tired, restless

and irritable the next day.

 

We haven't had a fight since - and I mean ZERO. Grades are improved, moods

improved, my house is sane.

Blessings, Healing and Happy Thanksgiving to All! My prayers and thoughts

are especially with Peggy and daughter and family. Intuitively the stone

that is coming through as wanting to be present for her healing is

aquamarine. It has come through for me in the past in a dream experience.

I have since learned that it can be used to create a protective shield

around the entire aura, whether the actually stone is present or not. It

often comes when I am dealing with emotional issues of the heart. I'm being

told that in your daughters situation it is being offered to assist with

dealing with issues relating to forgiveness of others involved in the

accident, those we might call " responsible " for the accident if we did not

truly understand that " there are no accidents " . This forgiveness will allow

those focusing on healing to allow the energies to freely go to everyone who

was involved. I recently heard Dr Phil say that the real tragedy of an

accident is not recognizing what that accident is trying to tell us about

what work we are hear to do. When you start to pay attention to that, the

real healing begins. I doesn't matter whether it's easy or not, what

matters that it is real. I've been there before. My love is sent to all

involved!

 

 

Although I always read the posts left by others, I rarely take the time to

respond. This year have been one of transformation and transmutation.

Having moved twice in the last year, once to a spiritual sanctuary and again

to a larger more private space, I am now preparing to make a transition to

Hawaii in the Spring. Working with the Stone People (as they are referred

to by Native American cultures) has been a real source of renewing strength

and I thank There message has consistently been-- " We are not separate from

you. We are the same as you-we are here to serve. Be Human, Be Happy, Have

Fun " Occasionally I see posts (not very often) that seem to refer to stones

and crystals as objects or things and I cringe and have often felt guilty

for not taking the time to share with that person my guidelines for working

with these wonderful entities. They are somewhat the same as considerations

in working with a best friend. They are:

 

1. Greet the stone with an open heart and mind. Be present for what is

being offered to you.

 

2 Express your gratitude for it's presence in your life.

 

3. Sit with your stone. Give it the time it needs to express to you what

it has come to share.

 

4. Feel it's unconditional love and own knowingness of it's connectedness

to " all my relations " .

 

5. Notice aspects about the stone that make it unique. Just as no two

friends are alike, no two stones are alike. As you begin to work with any

stone that has come to work with you, will notice an energy change. In

working with a stone over a long period of time you may see changes in

color, shape and appearance. I have many crystals that develop internal

rainbows soon after I begin working with them. It's really exciting. I

once had a piece of pyrite that completely crumbled after using it for some

intensive removal of negative energy. In gratitude I created a burial

ceremony for the stone invoking the energies of the seven directions.

 

6. Trust the wisdom of your new or old friend. Talk with your friend until

you feel a sense of clarity about what it is sharing.

 

7. Ask your stone how you can best honor what it has just shared. Many

stones come just to be passed along to someone else and I am just a

temporary keeper. Some come to offer healing assistance I've been asking

for. Some come with the intention of walking me through a spiritual journey

I'm not quite ready to take and I give it a special place on my altar

knowing that " someday " it will call to me again.. Fortunately the stones

seem to have as much patience as they do wisdom.

 

8. Create a plan of action to follow through on what has just been shared

with you. Feel the energy change within yourself because of the knowledge

and knowingness the stone has shared. Acknowledge you ability to follow

through on any plan that you create. Great Spirit, Creator, The Unknowable

will only ask of you what you are in need of at the moment to recreate your

own wholeness and a sense of your connectedness with the universe.

Mitakuye Oyasin! All My Relations!

 

9. We are here to heal each other as well as ourselves. Each friend or

stone comes into our life for a reason. As the saying goes " There are no

accidents. " .Trust the messages that come through whether through vision,

dream or intuition. I recently spent almost an hour debating with myself

about whether to but a small piece of polished hematite available in a local

rock shop. I tend to prefer unpolished stones, so the debate in my head

went on for a while before I finally gave in a bought " the darned thing " .

As I picked it up I noticed a line across its face that caused it to

resemble a dolphin's head. It sat on my counter for a week before I

realized it was not " mine " but intended for the daughter of a friend. When

I had the chance to give it to her with the explanation that I knew it was

meant for her daughter, she seemed amazed that I somehow knew of her

daughter's connection with the dolphins, as I have never met her daughter, .

I didn't know, the stone knew . Fortunately it was insistent enough to let

its voice come through loud and clear and make me pay attention

 

10. A stone is a living being and just like us when we've worked

extensively or intensively need a rest and vacation. I ask the stone first

and if I'm now sure follow guidelines given to me by some who are more

practiced in their use than I am. During the summer months I have left them

on my deck to sun and moon bathe, but now that it's colder I've brought them

in. Some stones, especially the halite and desert rose are water soluble,

so I keep them in if there' a possibility of rain. I used to use a layer

them in a large ceramic bowl with sun-dried sea salt to clear them and leave

them outdoors for 24 hours, moving them occasionally to allow the sun and

moon to bathe them.

 

11. The stones can feel your intention, so whatever you do or however you

enjoy, appreciate and " use " them, do it with Love, Heart and Gratitude,

Gratitude, Gratitude!

 

Please feel welcome to share these thoughts with anyone you feel might

appreciate them. I am grateful to those who take the time to post and share

their requests, and knowledge and wisdom. I will always sent healing energy

to those who request it and will try to be more responsible about asking

responding to posts where I feel I have something to contribute.

 

In Light, Toksha (an affectionate term for later in Lakhota)
