Question about nose bleeds.

[Guest guest]

Hi All:

My middle son used to have frequent bloody noses a few years ago. Our

family turned to veganism for two years and during that time he no longer

had nose bleeds. But, this year we have returned to eating meats again, we

started with fish, then chicken, then lamb, now beef. This week and last

week he's been getting nose bleeds again. Anyone have this experience? I

was wondering if eating too much beef has anything to do with it? I've

never heard of that, but that's all I can think of that we're doing

differently. We've been increasing his beef intake more recently. (I know

it's hot, but I have been experimenting with beef stews. He was doing fine

with chicken and fish stews.) We only eat New Zealand beef and lamb, natural

or organic chicken, wild caught fish, and all organic fruits and vegetables.

Even our grain is whole and all organic. I do soak them before cooking.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Marla

Hello Marla, My son also had nose problems, Vit C was what stopped all

his problems, it strengthens the vein walls. I had to try

several types (tolerance problems) but it worked.-ine in WA

Hi ine:

Thanks for that tip. I'll increase his vitamin C intake. That makes a lot

of sense to strengthen the vein walls!

Thanks again,

Marla
