Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Re Christmas/holidays I remind myself how much more appreciated a gift or card is when it ISN'T a holiday or a birthday, when it clearly isn't spurred by social tradition, obligation.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Yeah ....so I`ve heard....Sjogrens Syndrome is characterized by... dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue and aching, painful joints.... some of the same symptoms as AIH... it also can cause dryness in ears , nasal tract, digestive tract, and vagina.... I perfer to keep my different diseases to a minimum so I won`t look to find if this is another one I may have.... How do they treat this disease anyway Joanne? Ginger? Andi? anyone..? Isn`t ayurvedic herbs connected to some kind of Indian mysticism....Ayurveda... what specific herb is used for liver disease (AIH) in ayrvedic holisticism... milk thistle? Or am I confused as usual (Karishma)?

My son will be home for Christmas from Tallahassee Friday and will get to stay until Jan. 8. Going to try and make this the best Christmas ever and thank the Lord for all his blessings...........Sure hope you feel better soon and Merry Christmas and a better New Year.

Can anyone tell me > the details for the use of Ginger in Colemas? > Hi Roy, I used ginger because it is a great herb used for many ailments here in the Philippines. It is a good anti-microbial, and is also known to " sooth " the stomach or bowels, so I tried it in my colemas. I made it by chopping up fresh ginger root, about 50 grams or so, and then add it to about 4 cups of boiling water and let sit for about 20 minutes.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 No, the ginger is a hot agent. It would be like eating any other intense spice -- makes you really hot and brings on the heat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 , What would the ginger do in regards to hormones. Increase estrogen or progesterone? Liz D Re: Re:Acid Reflux (was: which cleanse?) Thanks, Barbara. I'm going to try it. The enzyme sounds best to me as the straight up ginger might intensify hot flashes. emily --- rabbitbrain@... bUcKsNdOeS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hi Ginger: My name is Genny and I have belonged to this group for about three years. I also am in Florida, about 45 minutes from Disney World in a small town Haines City. I get the group in digest form because I no longer can keep up with all the posts but I try to look in at times to see how everyone is. My daughter Jodi who is now 30 years old is the one that has AIH. She and I did a living donor transplant two years ago in Miami where Patty lives. As a matter of fact I met Patty as she was kind enough to come see me in the hospital. Jodi was still in ICU at the time so she was unable to meet the Patty she had heard so much about. If you would like to email me direct please do so. It would be easier for me, just put from Ginger in ville and I will know who you are. I'm very careful about opening mail that I don't know who sent it. Would enjoy talking to you. Welcome to the group by the way. You will learn a lot here and make everlasting relationships. Tell me about your experiences with AIH so far. Take care and God bless.

If I want to keep it for a long time I submerse it in vodka. I also have a quart thinly sliced in rice vinegar, which is an ubiquitous Japanese condiment (but mine lacks the red food coloring and MSG). I've also used ginger in kimchi, but I have to say the ginger doesn't change much (nor does the garlic). It adds flavor to the cabbage though. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder how they get those thin slices for such an uncooperative starting material like ginger root. I've made ginger pickles (and 50/50 ginger/garlic pickles) just by grating with a food processor and putting in whey. Incredible stuff, a permanent fixture in my diet for sure. In fact, that and pickled whole garlic cloves were the only success stories out of the dozen or so varieties I tried in my first-ever batch of lf veggies a bit over a year ago. An array of homemade pungent pickles in the fridge at all times-- garlic, ginger, horseradish, etc--now that's good livin'...
