Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Deb, Thank you for sharing this information about the Noni Juice. I did not know that something natural as this does have side effects. I am glad you found the aricle. Ingrid > Essiac tea is used by cancer patients. I'll find you a link about the nurse who got the recipe from the Ojibway indians. I believe her name was Rene Caisse ( essiac ). I drink it twice a day. It is $30 a bottle, also called sence. I used to buy the pre mixed herbs and make it but the time took too long. Two oz in am and 2 oz in pm. > > Karima > Re: Noni juice > > > > > > Not pooh poohing at all Just beware it does not CURE anything. > That is where I have disagreements. > Otherwise unless your doctor specifically says no if you want to use it go > for it! > Natural foods and remedies are good for a lot of things just not always > cures. > > As for Noni I haven't tried it but hear it is bitter.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Ingrid, you are welcome. Actually Jane had posted the mdanderson.org website on another group and I was looking for herbal supplements to see if they interfere with chemo. Some of them do have cautions on them. For example, garlic has been said to lower cholesterol, but at the mdanderson website it says that multiple cases of bleeding have been associated with garlic use, and cautioned that some patients may be at risk of bleeding, so stop the garlic if you are preparing for surgery or dental work. Another one I had read about is alfalfa for health, but it says there that alfalfa use has some rare cases of pancytopenia (low blood counts), dermatitis (skin inflammation) and gastrointestinal upset. If this is you or someone you love, stay away from alfalfa. Buyer beware on these herbal supplements. ~Deb from KS Ingrid Lowe wrote: Deb, Thank you for sharing this information about the Noni Juice.

And no, I drink the essiac straight out of the refrigerator with distilled water...2 oz each twice a day. I don't sweeten it. Some folks have laughingly said it tastes like dirt; I think it is fine. A close friend even gave it to her son when he was 8 and had cancer; he is now going on 19. > > Karima --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
