Thank You Everyone RE: Re: MRSA questions

[Guest guest]

,

I'm glad to read a's check up went well. And big hugs to her

doctor for giving you the green light on magnesium and essential oils!

I'm glad he cautioned you to " know your source. " I think that's

absolutely important.

Yes, I remember you writing before about a doing well on lots of

milk, cranberry and grape juices. I know some people cannot tolerate

dairy products because it seems to thicken their mucus, thankfully,

our family isn't in that group. The cranberry and grape juices are so

healthful because of the flavonoids. The juice drinks is Langers

Cranberry-Grape 100. It doesn't have sugar, and also contains added

magnesium, co-enzyme Q10 and grapeseed extract. It's not cheap, so I

buy it when it goes on sale 2 for $5.00.

I've read that chocolate cravings are a sign of magnesium deficiency,

and chocolate is a good source of magnesium.

As a kid, I always craved chocolate; even friends of my parents knew

me as " the daughter that would only eat chocolate desserts. " And my

favorite dessert was/is ice cream. Whenever I'd buy ice cream (pretty

frequently!), I always bought some sort of chocolate ice cream --

didn't matter what kind of chocolate but it had to have chocolate in

it, and often I'd pour on the Hershey's chocolate syrup or hot fudge

sauce too.

But since I've started taking magnesium, I've been buying different

flavors of ice cream! Isn't that wild? I'll be standing in front of

the ice cream freezer and my brain is thinking, " What's wrong with

you? Buy the chocolate-brownie-fudge sundae, for Pete's sake! " But my

body is saying, " Ooooh, I think that gooey caramel pecan would taste

scrumptious. Or how about that luscious peach or strawberry ice

cream? "

High stress days is when I feel the chocolate craving most. Some days

on my way home from school, I'd have to stop in a store to buy one of

those huge Hershey's big blocks with almonds. And coincidently, stress

eats up a lot of magnesium.

About the tea tree oil -- don't worry one bit about ordering the Lema

Oil! Coast Bio's Lema Oil is made from the most potent fractions of

manuka AND tea tree plants. Coast Bio named this special blend by

taking the letters from the plants' botantical names:

(Le)ptosperumum scoparium and (M)elaleuca (A)lternifolia.

When I was digging around Wednesday night, I came across papers

referencing Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil (Leptospermum petersonii),

which even though it's called " tea tree oil, " it's actually in the

manuka family. There's evidence this lemon scented tto actually has a

killing power higher than standard tto or a special fraction of tto

called Clone 88. But still, remember that the Lema oil you ordered

contains potent fractions of both tea tree and manuka and the killing

power of that oil is very impressive.

Here's the link again if others want to see:

By the way, I think your English is just fine. (My lack of a foreign

language is embarrasing!)

Hello Kim!

a had clinic today, everything is find. I mentioned the

magnesium and tea tree oil to our doc, and the different things that

you have written. I was pleasently surprised when he said " I am not

against alternative medicine " . " Just use your judgement and make

sure you know the source " . I did not ordered the tree tea oil, I

ordered the lema oil, now I wished I had ordered the tree tea oil,

since I probably would have saved some money on the shipping, too

late. n posted some really good website links on sharktank,

very informative, worth saving, for future reference, about tree tea

oil.

I think I have told you this before but for a long time a was

asyntomatic and one thing that she did, was drink lots of milk and

get this, cranberry and grape juice!!! Any link to what you have

written below?? She got sick when she quit drinking milk and her

juices, coincidence?

I only cook with olive oil and she only will eat butter, but on the

other hand she eats a lot of chocolate, she craves chocolate.

Sorry, this is so crazy the way I am writing but I am writing as I

remember what you wrote below and it makes so much sense, it is such

a paralel to a's life.

Well, thank you for sharing your knowledge, no matter how much I

read, there is no way, I could have come up with this information,

in plain english as you write it.

Growing up I used to get really bad bronchitis, my cf gene??, and my

mom would make me drink all this herbs stuff, and do garggle with

all this horrible leafs, and I used to cry but I wish I had pay

attention to what they were. I doubt I could find them here in the

USA, our flora is so different, but I least I would know.

Love to all of you,

mom of a 9 wcf, Venanzio 7 nocf, Pepe 3 nocf
