It is more important to follow my recommendations for Improving Digestion: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php#s27 It is also important to cook the nettles enough so they release their nutrients, and not just add them to your broth raw. Raw herbs can be used in this recipe to get the most from them: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe301.php Please describe the pain in your abdomen and where it is located.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 > Please describe the pain in your abdomen and where it is located. > > Bee > I have a lot of pain in my upper abdomen. A lot in the liver area but my doctor says its due to my duodenitis and not liver pain. Which kind of makes sense coz it usually hurts a lot after I've eaten. He said that a leaky valve (???) causes food from the stomach to leak into the duodenum causing this problem. Do u think this makes sense? I am following all the things u mentioned on the link regarding improving digestion except that I still cant take betaine hcl as I get a bad burning sensation. So i take a small amt of sauerkraut. Too much I get bad die-off. And honestly, I've forgotten how bad die-off is! On another note, I'm having really bad die-off & I'm still at 1 tsp VCO. My neck & left shoulder ache & I'm having ulcers in my throat that really hurt when I swallow. I'm doing epson salt bath every nite. Wondering if I should try the oil of oregano in some VCO to rub? I read that from an earlier post. Lots of love to u Bee. Shirin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 How do I use nettles in my green smoothies? I've read that folks do this but I'm having one heck of a time believing they aren't going to irritate my insides the way they are my fingers! I thought maybe the leaves were not prickly but noooooooo they are as well! Suggestions? S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Blending then should macerate those nettles. Try a leaf and stem in water and look at it to see.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks Gayla. Someone else on the RawWashington group said the same thing that the VitaMix will take care of the problem. Now if my finger would just expel what's in the end of it! It's amazing those little devils are still in the end of one finger. Going to be a fun day inputting data all day with a finger that feels numb! Ah well, it's Monday what can I say? Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 well Shari - a single pellet of Silacea 30C should expel those little devils from your fingers very quickly - do you have a homeopathic kit? regards Patti Re: nettles Thanks Gayla.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I do have a homeopathic kit and I did not know this, thanks! However, by the time I read this they were gone. I am saving this message in my HAWK file - just in case! Cool stuff to know! Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
