Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hi Rusty, Thanks for your reply for taking the psyllium. I am resending this in case it was missed in the last email. I prefer a combination tea of Dandelion root and Milk thistle seed, to both cleanse the liver and restore optimum liver function. Just clean the roots and chop them fine berfore making the tea. When the root is chopped fine, how much root do you use to a cup of tea or does it matter? If using the MIlk thistle seed with it, what's the ratio for that? For how many days would you drink this and how many cups a day? Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Judith: Many on this group are raw food purists and therefore the boiling is out. I prefer to chew on the root, but if you must make a tea, just pour boiling water over it and let steep. You might want to add a squeeze of lemon. - " Judith Roney " <judy <rawfood > Tuesday, April 22, 2003 7:31 AM RE: [Raw Food] dandelion roots > Hi, > > Have not had chance to post yet...but " lurk " a little.

I use about a tespoonful of chopped root. Dandelion tea is good by itself and because milk thistle seed is really hard shelled you might want to just buy some milk thitsle in caps, and follow the directions on the bottle. rusty rusty- " mvdube " <mvdube <rawfood > Monday, April 21, 2003 9:23 PM [Raw Food] Dandelion roots > Hi Rusty, > Thanks for your reply for taking the psyllium.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Thank you for the info, is making sun-tea ok? Today is my first day (4/29/03) and it is getting harder as the day goes on..any words of encouragement? You really don't realize how " addicted " or used to cooked foods you are till you delete them from your daily food intake. Thanks again, Judith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi, Judith.....any effort you make to break the addiction to cooked food will be rewarded. I've gotten to where I can't stand cooked food anymore. Please keep us posted as to your progress and if you have any favorite raw food recipes, I'd love to learn about them. It was Ray Kent in Texas who woke me up years ago to the destructive practice of having to cook everything before eating it. Warmest regards.......Betsy - " Judith Roney " <judy <rawfood > Monday, April 28, 2003 11:09 AM RE: [Raw Food] dandelion roots > Thank you for the info, is making sun-tea ok? > > Today is my first day (4/29/03) and it is getting harder as the day goes > on..any words of encouragement?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hi, Judy.....I too, have a " cooked food husband " . I admire your " damn the torpedos " attitude. It's nice to have a raw food support group like this. Blessings to you and thanks.......Betsy - " Judith Roney " <judy <rawfood > Monday, April 28, 2003 6:07 PM RE: [Raw Food] dandelion roots > Thank you Betsy...it is 6:05pm and all well so far, except husband wants to > eat out after we leave the office...I will find SOMETHING !!!
