Note to self: get new eyeglasses. : ) I am reading on your site now,

about the Salvia, etc. I am struggling with quitting smoking now, and this

just might help. I don't imagine I have to worry tho, about the very real

cravings I often get for broccoli. Really. : )

Interesting. I take the selenium you suggested (for copd) along with B

complex and whey. In fact, I take so many supplements that I'm trying to

get down to just a few.

I'll have a look at that site, though I don't mind the broccoli cravings; as

it shouldn't do any harm. That is, unless I can't get enough from the food

itself.

Do you use epsom salts for the baths??

Try auricular acupuncture. It's the best thing for smoking cessation.

One other thing to consider. People with difficulty handling foods

which are high oxalate sometimes crave the very foods which cause them

problems. Other high oxalate foods, some folks with oxalate problems

stay away from other high oxalate foods. For instance, I could never

get enough of pistachio nuts, spinach, and tomato, which are all high

oxalate. On the other hand, broccoli repulsed me.

Interesting thought. I have always loved spinach; even as a child.

Pistachios, fresh tomatoes and broccoli are other foods I can't get enough

of. Will have to look into this further. Thanks for all the input!!
