Seems like you have every right to rant and you need to let off some steam.

Please see if your Dr. will prescribe some antifungals for you, e.g. Nystatin,

Diflucan, etc. If not, get some natural antifungals from a health food store:

OregeMax (oregano oil capsules), Garlic capsules, Caprylic acid, olive leaf

extract, or just drink some apple cider vinegar in water. According to what

Doug Kaufmann has been researching (for 37 years) and reports from the Mayo

Clinic and others, most health problems stem from fungus in the body. It

certainly won't hurt to try this. You can get more info from his website:

As an aside, I have been researching different kinds of arthritis for a

while, and it just occurred to me today that I might actually have

rheumatoid arthritis. ... I'm going to go

to the doctor soon to get a diagnosis so I will know better how to proceed....

The problem is that it is a lot of stress to move in that

direction! I am divorced as of 2 weeks ago, and on my own with 2 kids- 5 and

6- whom I homeschool.

Hi Evie,

Ranting is a good thing. If you are cold all the time, warming herbs and

foods are really, really good for you. Going through a break up and trying to

maintain while taking care of the kids is difficult at best. If there is any

way for us to support you, your's is but to ask. Nutmeg is actually soft even

though it looks hard. There are nutmeg graters that actually would be better

termed " shavers " . they have a crank and a blade that shaves off a small amount

with each pass. This is the type that I recommend. The type that looks like a

washboard with a lot of holes is very wasteful and needs to be cleaned each

time. Nutmeg has several potential uses. First, it is the most powerful blood

pressure medicine you can lay your hands on. Second, it is again the most

powerful somniferic for any kind of sleeping disorder. Third, it's main use in

Ayurveda is as a digestive enhancer. It increases the absorption of nutrients (

great when needed but contra indicated in the case of something like " leaky

gut " ). Care must always be exercised when using nutmeg. Start out very low

(half teaspoon) and work your way up. The effects take a minimum of 4 hours and

up to 12 to kick in. Therefore you take a dose one day and do not alter it

until the next day in order to arrive at the proper amount. Capishe? The

ayurveda way would be to decoct it in milk. Hot cocoa sounds good to me.

RA is usually the immune system attacking joint tissue willy nilly. there

is almost if not always a major stressor involved that is the straw that breaks

the camel's back. Turmeric extract (curcumin... not cumin) is the premier anti

inflammatory. All the best, let us know how we may help. -Dave

Subject: Question for Dave re: nutmeg

Hi Dave,

On your suggestion, I ran out and got some whole nutmeg a while back and it

is still sitting unused. What should I do with it? Any advice, hints,

suggestions would be great. I have no clue how to prepare it.

As an aside, I have been researching different kinds of arthritis for a

while, and it just occurred to me today that I might actually have

rheumatoid arthritis. I had been ignoring it, because it seems to be the

worst kind to have. But looking at my past history, it fits. I'm going to go

to the doctor soon to get a diagnosis so I will know better how to proceed.

I definitely need to get into a warmer climate, and I need a lower stress

lifestyle. The problem is that it is a lot of stress to move in that

direction! I am divorced as of 2 weeks ago, and on my own with 2 kids- 5 and

6- whom I homeschool. I also have a home business. It is hard to get things

done AND make the changes. Especially when I'm so * & %^ cold I just want to

stay under a blanket all day! Sorry for the rant.

Have a healthy day!

Evie,

Keep in mind that any anti-fungal drugs are really bad

for the liver. So, Amber's recommdenation of Oil of

Oregano and other natural things are a good

alternative.

Also, if you think it may be RA, there are studies of

using NALTREXONE (Off-Label) low dose 3mg -- 5mg, it

really helps the imune system. It is also being

studied for MS, Lupus and many other things. Do a

Google search for " Low Dose NALTREXONE "

Good Luck,

Thank you Dave! I have been making hot cocoa everyday with raw milk

and organic Dagoba hot chocolate mix. It is yummy. Would I put the

nutmeg in while I'm cooking it, or after? Also, could you find a

picture of the shaver that you're talking about? I just googled it

and saw so many different things, and so many different prices. I

did see some glass ones that you put the nutmeg in- is that like

what you mean? I saw some on eBay. I can't spend much time online as

my son and I have the flu. I thought I was doing better yesterday

and did 4 loads of laundry, and ended up with a 101 temp by bedtime.

So today I'm staying in the bath all day! )

Dave, thanks so much for the info re nutmeg. I have the gallbladder thing

pretty much under control thanks to this list, but I have been battling

borderline hypertension and am trying the nutmeg in some hot cocoa as we speak.

Thanks again.
