Re: Fighting Colds, Having a Good Blood Supply

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Good information. I haven't looked for raw cider vinegar, but I live

next to an apple-growing region (that is being taken over by vineyards

because they are more profitable). When I did get sore throats a lot

one thing I would like to do is eat a sour apple like a pippin. It had

kind of an astringent effect that felt good. I tried one of those salt

snuffles once--yikes. I tend to have sensitized mast cells in my nose.

Have been reading lately that people who have a reduced blood volume are

more prone to allergies. I think my digestive tract is chronically

underblooded from too much fight or flight diverting the blood away. I

don't generally mind stress for the most part, except for its

physiological effects. I've been wondering if there are yoga exercises

that divert the blood back into the intestines, etc.? Leaky gut occurs

more easily with intestinal blood loss. I have been thinking about

trying a vegetarian " hematinic " . They say that menopausal women should

be careful of getting too much iron though. Estrogen loss aggravates

the fight or flight stuff or sympathetic response. J.
