Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Dear Tamara, I am so sorry for you loss, it must be awful to lose a child that way. Sheppard's purse tea, made from the herb out of the bulk herb section of the HFS is excellent for the bleeding. It stops it pretty fast. My midwife always gave it to her clients after childbirth. Just steep until the tea cools and then drink as much as you can. It is also high in Vit C. I truly believe what DOC Shillington says about the body. That it is capable of healing itself. Just given the proper nutrition and some help from herbs, wildcrafted are best. I really question if a DandC is really good for the body. I would never subject myself to one. There are plenty of herbs that cause uterine contractions, like Golden Seal for one. The uterus can then rid itself of what does not belong there. I believe that if you really consentrate on rebuilding and cleansing your body, your body will be able to carry a child to term. Organic minerals are the most important thing to get. Inorganic sources of minerals pass through the body unused, as the body MUST have them in the proper form or they cannot be used. Its like feeding a rock to your pet to give it nutrition. Sorry, not! Twin Labs makes an excellent calcium supplement that I used while pregnant and it helped me tremendously. It was called Calcium citrate. It came in a capsule instead of a tablet (tablets often pass through un dissolved.) Citric fruit is an excellent source of calcium. As the fruit contained other needed nutrients like bioflavinoids to absorb the calcium. Oddly enough citric fruit does not make your body acid, but the reverse. Acid base balance is a funny thing in the body. The stomach can turn a weak acid into a base in that acid millieu. Since this is a list for the use of herbs, I am going to be really bold here and mention that Stinging Nettle is by far the best way to get your minerals. WOW that plant actually can turn that rock into something the body can use. Herbs are really the way to heal the body. Stick with them and you can at least be sure to not die. I just had a friend die from a pain killer shot at the hospital, and another had minor surgery and then a blood clot killed her and left her minor children motherless. Steroids and any immunosuppressant can and will cause death to anyone with a bad case of Strongyloidiasis, and there are few symptoms of having those parasites. MOST cases never get diagnosed by ANY MD and my experience has proven that MDs are in fact only out to make as much money as possible and to keep their license to rip off the public they have to conform to a Medical Establishment where politics rather than science dictates medical treatment. And the politics are strictly about money, and the policies made by Pharmaceutical Companies. Dont buy over the counter drugs. They kill people LOTS of people, every year.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 I really question if a DandC is really good for the body ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I tend to agree with this, when I had my misscarriage I didnt do one, but let my body heal itself and I'm glad that I did.. I really didn't know much about D & C's.. and so I went with how I felt and let my body heal itself.. but I also know that eveyone is different! Dont buy over the counter drugs. They kill people LOTS of people, every year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I also tend to agree with this, not sure how many people it kills but I do believe that herbs are better, no real side effects if you use them right, and have some knowledge of them! I tend to reach for the herbs before anything else if I can... it's the first thing I reach for my family as well!
