Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Part of you constipation problem is you aren't getting enough exercise. Part is the Sutent. It is critical that you drink lots of water with Sutent. Read the side effects for Sutent. And find a new doctor/cancer hospital. Praying you will do it.

It really is a miracle food. Blessings, Joy :-) From http://chinesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa011400b.htm There are as many answers to this question as there are researchers investigating the natural properties of green tea. For example, Herbs for Health magazine cites a Japanese report stating that men who drank ten cups of green tea per day stayed cancer-free for three years longer than men who drank less than three cups a day (there are approximately 240 - 320 mg of polyphenols in three cups of green tea). Meanwhile, a study by Cleveland's Western Reserve University concluded that drinking four or more cups of green tea per day could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis, or reduce symptoms in individuals already suffering from the disease. And Japanese scientists at the Saitama Cancer Research Institute discovered that there were fewer recurrances of breast cancer, and the disease spread less quickly, in women with a history of drinking five cups or more of green tea daily. It gets more confusing. A University of California study on the cancer-preventative qualities of green tea concluded that you could probably attain the desired level of polyphenols by drinking merely two cups per day. On the other hand, a company selling a green tea capsule formula insists that ten cups per day are necessary to reap the maximum benefits. How can you make sense of these conflicting claims? Given all the evidence, it is probably safe to plan on drinking four to five cups of green tea per daily. If you're a real devotee, by all means drink more; but whether or not you'll derive added health benefits remains to be determined by further research. How to Brew a Cup of Green Tea Producing the perfect cup of green tea is a tricky process. If not handled properly, those same polyphenols that provide health benefits can ruin the flavor, making the tea taste "gassy." It's particularly important not to overbrew. While it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for each variety of green tea, here are some general instructions: Use one tea bag, or 2 - 4 grams of tea,* per cup. Fill a kettle with cold water and bring to a boil. After unplugging the kettle, allow it to stand for up to 3 minutes. Pour the heated water over the tea bag or tea, and allow it to steep for up to 3 minutes. If using a tea bag, remove the bag.

Blessings, Joy :-) From http://chinesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa011400b.htm There are as many answers to this question as there are researchers investigating the natural properties of green tea. For example, Herbs for Health magazine cites a Japanese report stating that men who drank ten cups of green tea per day stayed cancer-free for three years longer than men who drank less than three cups a day (there are approximately 240 - 320 mg of polyphenols in three cups of green tea). Meanwhile, a study by Cleveland's Western Reserve University concluded that drinking four or more cups of green tea per day could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis, or reduce symptoms in individuals already suffering from the disease. And Japanese scientists at the Saitama Cancer Research Institute discovered that there were fewer recurrances of breast cancer, and the disease spread less quickly, in women with a history of drinking five cups or more of green tea daily. It gets more confusing. A University of California study on the cancer-preventative qualities of green tea concluded that you could probably attain the desired level of polyphenols by drinking merely two cups per day. On the other hand, a company selling a green tea capsule formula insists that ten cups per day are necessary to reap the maximum benefits. How can you make sense of these conflicting claims? Given all the evidence, it is probably safe to plan on drinking four to five cups of green tea per daily. If you're a real devotee, by all means drink more; but whether or not you'll derive added health benefits remains to be determined by further research. How to Brew a Cup of Green Tea Producing the perfect cup of green tea is a tricky process. If not handled properly, those same polyphenols that provide health benefits can ruin the flavor, making the tea taste "gassy." It's particularly important not to overbrew. While it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for each variety of green tea, here are some general instructions: Use one tea bag, or 2 - 4 grams of tea,* per cup. Fill a kettle with cold water and bring to a boil. After unplugging the kettle, allow it to stand for up to 3 minutes. Pour the heated water over the tea bag or tea, and allow it to steep for up to 3 minutes. If using a tea bag, remove the bag. Allow the tea to cool for three more minutes. *One to two teaspoons, depending on the variety of green tea you are brewing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancie Barnett Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 9:13 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas Well, what about green tea? nancie -------Original Message------- From: Art3 Date: 10/17/2007 6:06:32 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas I can't take grapefruit and grapefruit juice or St. 's Wart if I'm taking Sutent. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancie Barnett Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 4:48 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas so is grapefruit and grapefruit juice. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joyce Hudson Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 4:47 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas Mystic, green tea is excellent to balance the body and help you lose weight.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Please seek out another Doctor's advice... I know this is scary How ever if you know that what you you have doing has helped YOU and the current pysician you are seeing disagrees with the pysical evidence than you need to see another Doctor I'm sure the old one would still be there if wanted to go back to him... But... Art it is YOU, YOUR BODY YOUR MIND, YOUR SOUL and YOUR GOD that YOU need to be concerned with... your Doctor has his own God... In the Bible it speaks of A Garden of Eden a place where all green things were provided by the Divine Creator to assist with all manners of well being for the individual. The Garden of Eden is still here the leading touch of which is within the World that we ALL ARE SEEMINGLY SUROUNDED with in order to accsess it you must turn off the noise of The WorldArt3 <art@...> wrote: The doctor my mom knows doesn't accept insurance.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 So be it. But I'm just a little peon. Lol! It took me most of my life to stand on my own two feet. I am responsible for myself, my actions, and what happens to me. I made a commitment to Great Spirit to speak the truth and help others. I have fought living in fear all of my life, and am fighting fear back. I am not perfect but I am trying to live my life impeccably.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Brew Healthy Tea from Kitchen Herbs Sage, thyme, and other kitchen staples can be the basis of healthy, tasty teas. By Main Experiment with aromatic herbal teas using your own home grown herbs, or spices from the supermarket. RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—The short, dark, chilly days of winter can make us long for something hot to sip in the evenings. And though you could start planning the number of tea bushes you'll plant to grow your own tea one day, chances are you’re looking for more immediate relief. A windowsill herb garden could be the answer. " Most people don’t take full advantage of the herbs they have in their kitchens, " says , a registered herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild and co-owner of Restoration Herbs in northwestern Pennsylvania. She says anything from sage to rosemary to ordinary basil can be used to make enjoyable, natural herbal teas. All you need is to steep a few teaspoons of the herb for several minutes. " The length of time depends on the herb in question, " she notes, but 10 to 15 minutes normally does it. While herbs and herbal supplements can interfere with certain drugs such as heart disease or thyroid medications, a single cup of herbal tea won't come with a high enough dose to cause harm, says . However, drinking three or more cups a day could be a problem, so if you plan on drinking a lot, check with your pharmacist or doctor first. Whichever type of herbal tea you brew, just be sure to enjoy it, says . " Part of being healthy is getting the nutrients from our food,†she says. “The other part is taking pleasure in it. " Keep reading to find out which herbs make the best and healthiest teas. Here are six common herbs, along with simple directions for quickly turning them into healthy, tasty teas. #1: Sage. Often recommended by herbalists as a salve for sore throats, laryngitis, and tonsillitis, sage may also boost your mood. To brew sage tea, place two teaspoons of sage leaves into a teapot, add a cup of boiling water, and let steep for 10 minutes. Try pineapple sage for a tropical twist. #2: Basil. The primary ingredient in Indian Tulsi teas, basil is another proven mood booster. " Holy basil, Tulsi basil, Thai basil—they're all are pretty marvelous for making tea, " says . As with sage, steep one to two teaspoons of basil leaves per cup of water for 10 to 15 minutes. Look for interesting, tasty flavors such as chocolate and lemon. #3: Thyme. Instead of reaching for that nasty, goopy cough syrup, try an herbal tea concocted from thyme. German researchers have found that thyme acts as an expectorant (an agent that loosens mucus in your chest), so keeping a thyme plant on hand could help with coughs and colds this time of year. Steep two teaspoons of fresh thyme in a cup of water for 10 minutes. #4: Rosemary. Central American folk healers may have used rosemary as an insect repellent, but contemporary herbalists believe it helps with upset stomachs, headaches, and bad breath, among other ailments. Regardless, if you simply love the smell of rosemary, enjoy a tea made by steeping one teaspoon per cup of water for 10 to 15 minutes. #5: Peppermint. Many believe that peppermint and spearmint teas help settle your stomach after a heavy dinner. There's also evidence that peppermint can help with headaches because it calms muscle spasms. Brew it by steeping one to two teaspoons of dried or fresh peppermint leaves per cup of water for 10 minutes. #6: Parsley. Nope, it's not just for garnishes anymore. A study in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine found that parsley may help lower your blood pressure. Another study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology reported that parsley may decrease allergy symptoms. To make parsley tea, brew two teaspoons of the leaves or the roots, or one teaspoon of crushed seeds, per cup of water for 10 minutes.
