Re: White willow for osteoporosis?

[Guest guest]

Why did he write a prescription for Motrin? I thought that was an over the counter pain medication. Are you in pain?

soak your hand in acv - 20 minutes a day or twice a day. also mix equal parts of acv and natural honey - dilute with water... stir till diluted and add ice and drink up... helps arthritis...would probably help the osteo also. diana <gdiana07@...> wrote: yes, i am in pain...both my hand and i can barely walk.diana

To make a tea, soak one teaspoon of powdered bark in a cup of cold water for eight hours. This allows the salicin to dissolve into the water (it is slow to get into solution). Strain out the bark and drink. You may make as much as you want in advance but refrigerate no more than 48 hours after which it will lose its effectiveness. This stuff really tastes nasty (commonly called bitter and astringent) so you may want to add whatever you can think of the make it drinkable. If you're not used to it you may start with less.

There is a prescription strength Motrin and for years you could only get

it through a script. What is sold over the counter is a

" lesser " version of the prescription strength.

Motrin is not aspirin. You can't take either?

I think you need to build your bones as well as deal with pain. Calcium and

vitamin D to absorb it. I whatever form works best for you.

The OTC Motrin is 200 mg. The Rx is 600 or 800 mg.

I also have lots of pain from multiple health issues to name a few

HIATUS HERNIA AND LUNG DISEASE(Always feels like a mack truck sittin gon my chest)(I take Mullien and Valarian Tea and Proton inbitors and inhalers for lungs)

IBS rotation from Constipation to Diareah and severe stomach problem and pain with it as well as nausea(Silicon Gel helps control to a point)

ACID REFLUX...Chest Pain and acide problems (Take proton inhibitor Nexium and also Silicion Acid, and DGL)

FMS-WIDE Spread Agony but still get up and go and never know when to stop (Take Valarian Tea, and Passion Flower to relax and sooth smooth muscles but still on look out for something more powerful other than antidepressants to control pain levels, I also bath 5 days a week in Magnesium and Sea Salts for pain and will use Arnica Gel when I have strained myselI also take Vitamin B 12 and folate acid the B 12 in 1,000 mcg sublingual heps pain should be in methyl form)

INSOMNIA(I take Valarian Tea, Passion Flower, Mullien,and sometimes Catnip in the mix and B12 Methyl)

OSTEOPOROSIS AND ARTHRITIS(Valarian Tea for pain, Silicon Gel for Joint Pain getting to the source of the problem)

HORMONAL ISSUES LEADING TO FIBRO CYSTIC BREAST AND FIBROIDS AND OTHER TYPES OF OVARIAN AND UTURUN CYSTS AND TUMORS (Take Flax Seed Oil , B12 and Folate Acid, EFA 369 for the GLA in it and Milk thistle to help the liver filter the hormones)

I had purchased a bottle of this white willow bark and have serious allergies to aspirin which aspirin is dervied from this so was adviced not to talke it...Although I use herbs and it may seem I have it under control I don't..>There are several issues I have yet to control...That mack truck on my chest...nausea every single morning I feel like I got to Vomit....if I caught the flu I would not know...I have even collapsed.

Hiatus hernia pain...Would love to eliminate that as it sure has interefered with the quality of life.

Any thoughts? It once was suggested Red Clover but I try to avoid anything that is Estro based as I have endometrisosis, I am always open and welcome to any opinions or thoughts.

Well Lesa, it sounds like everything is

inter-related to me. You should probably see a nutritionist that does hair analysis,

find out exactly what you are low on, have a compound pharmacist make a

supplement that suits you, and follow a suitable diet and exercise plan. I had

FMS, CFIDS, IBS, insomnia, fibroids, and debilitating nausea 15 years ago. You

can’t slap remedies on all the symptoms as they pop up and hope they just

go away. Building a program from the ground up that is suited for your body is

what works. For me it was a cyto-toxic diet, which is simply one without any

processed foods or meat; supplements made especially for me; low-impact

exercises; and a positive attitude.

Calming teas with B12 will work against

each other energy-wise. B vitamins should be taken before 3 pm and calming teas

in the evenings. Malic acid and calcium lactate with magnesium help joint pain.

You have to take the malic acid with food though. Caffeine contributes to

fibroids and hormone imbalance. If you change your diet you will find the acid

problem will go away. Ginger root and/or red raspberry leaf tea would probably

reduce the nausea.

Hiatal hernias are more common in middle

aged women. They can be caused by weight gain, labor and delivery, an injury,

or being born with a weak or large hiatus. If the lifestyle changes mentioned

above do not resolve the discomfort from it, you may require surgery. These

surgeries are minimally invasive, however, there is no guarantee the hernia

will not reappear down the road. A lot of people never have any symptoms from

these at all, but if the stomach is getting pinched off, then surgery will be

necessary to correct this.
