Re: Saisha: Fenugreek/herbs

April 28, 2012

Hi, I can't remember if it was brought up on this link or another, or another

group. It is some treatments with herbs seem to work for a while, and then stop,

or we feel worse later. A lot of drugs we get from our doc work only for a

while, as we build up a tolerance to them. I had a lot of friends during the

70s and 80s that were into herbs and alternative treatments. They always said

the benefits were short lived. I think herbs can get us through a rough time,

but we cannot depend on them long term. We do try now to stick to the ketogenic

diet, as its benefits seem to last, as long as we stick to it. I enjoy some

spices in my cooking, but I consider them as getting some nutrients, not always

for healing. There seems to be some difference in plants,if you look them up, as

to if they are a herb or a spice. Some in higher doses are more of a medicine

than a nutrient. So there could be a difference in taking something in pill

form-a larger dose, than in adding some to food, of as a tea. Anyway, something

for us to think about.

few times made me spicy teas with fenugreek in them, but I never took that much

notice about the fenugreek, but recently when traveling around the web fenugreek

has been popping up as a potential healing herb.
