Hi Kathy!

Are you drinking distilled water? Have you tried adding lemon to it? The quality of your water is important, and I find I enjoy my water more with a little lemon in it. It's also really great for you this way!

Love,

We are drinking bottled water...not sure if it is distilled but it is bottled by culligan. Guess I should check but hubby is the one who gets the refills done so I never looked so far. I don't know if I could stomach lemon at this point. This is my problem...I am so stressed out that I constantly feel sick to my stomach and have to resort to taking stemetil.....nothing else seems to work and right now and I am very stressed at the moment as hubby is in the hospital for his second kidney surgery in a month. Lots more stuff but won't bore you with it all.

Hi Kathy,

Have you tried ginger for your stomach? You can make a tea from fresh ginger by chopping it up and steeping for 10 to 15 minutes. Ginger is excellent for digestive problems. I'm sorry things are difficult for you right now. Please don't worry about boring me with details, if you don't feel they are appropriate for the list feel free to email me privately. I'd be happy to listen. You and your husband will be in my thoughts, sending lots of positive energy your way.

Love, Roni

(the following is probably more than you ever wanted to know about ginger, but I thought it was interesting:-))

Zingiber Officinale (Ginger)

ACTION Antiemetic, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Circulatory stimulant, Anti-inflammatory, Antiseptic. Ginger is an excellent remedy for digestive problems, such as flatulence, nausea, indigestion, intestinal infections and certain types of food poisoning. The combination of sweat and circulatory stimulation allows ginger to move blood to the periphery. This makes it a good remedy for chilblains, high blood pressure and fever. Ginger inhibits platelet aggregation, therefore, should be the ideal condiment for people predisposed to clotting which may lead to either heart-attack or stroke (Srivastava, K.C. et al. 1964). Ginger is also highly effective for motion and morning sickness.

KEY CONSTITUENTS Volatile oils (bisabolene, cineol, phellandrene, citral, borneol, citronellol, geranial, linalool, limonene, zingiberol, zingiberene, camphene), Oleoresin (gingerol, shogaol), Phenol (gingeol, zingerone), Proteolytic enzyme (zingibain), Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Linoleic acid.

The pungency of ginger is due to GINGEROL which is the alcohol group of the oleoresin (when resins are associated with volatile oils, they are called OLEORESINS). Ginger owes its aroma to about 1 to 3% of volatile oils, which are bisabolene, zingiberene and zingiberol.

GINGEROL

INDICATION Magnesium, calcium and phosphorus function together in bone formation, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. The high content of these minerals in ginger makes it a useful candidate for muscle spasms, depression, hypertension, muscle weakness, convulsions, confusion, personality changes, nausea, lack of coordination and gastrointestinal disorders. The high content of potassium in ginger will protects the body against bone fragility, paralysis, sterility, muscle weakness, mental apathy and confusion, kidney damage, and damage to the heart. In addition to potassium's role in blood pressure regulation, it also regulates heartbeat. Ginger has a high content of antioxidants. This makes it a free radical scavenger. This means, it has antimutagenic and anti-inflammatory properties (Lee, I.K. and Ahn, S.Y. 1985; Kikuzaki, H. and Nakatani, N. 1993; Kikuzaki, H. et al. 1994).

RESEARCH In a study, acetone extract of ginger at 100 mg/kg p.o. significantly inhibited serotonin (5-HT) induced hypothermia. The active responsible was found to be shogoal. Shogoal, [6]-dehydrogingerdione, [8]- and [10]-gingerol were also found to have an anticathartic action (Huang Q, et al. (1990). The pungent constituents of ginger release substance P from sensory fibres. The released substance P in turn either stimulates cholinergic and histaminic neurons to release Ach and histamine, respectively, or produces direct muscle contraction by activating M and H1 receptors correspondingly. It is proposed that after being excited by substance P, M and H1 receptors are inactive temporarily and unable to be excited by agonists, therefore, ginger juice exhibits anticholinergic and antihistaminic action. Ginger juice produces antimotion sickness action possibly by central and peripheral anticholinergic and antihistaminic effects (Qian, D.S, and Liu, Z.S. 1992).

I don't have any ginger on hand right now. Another part of my problem is that I am unable to do my own shopping so I have to wait till hubby is well enough to go and get some for me.

I do have a lot of health problems and have tried some of the natural remedies without success and I don't know why.

I guess the biggest thing right now is being able to get things to go down and keep them down.

Hi Kathy,

Stress is a killer big time. Sounds like you really need some rest and

relaxation. I know right now that isn't too feasible. What is wrong with

DH's kidneys that he needs two surgeries in one month, if I may ask?

Stones? Renal failure? Nephritis? We got to get some of the stress off

of you so you can relax some. I know you are more than capable of

dealing with it or you wouldn't be in that position but maybe we can

help you overcome some of it.

Thank you. He had kidney stones and when they tried to zap them the first time the tube was collapsed so they had to put in a stent for a few weeks to open it up. this time it worked and he is home and feeling ok although still bleeding and in a bit of pain.

I can't really go into a lot of the stressers around here but just belive me when I say there are many and even taking a soak in the tub is not feasable very often. We have a very busy house with a lot of people who don't aggree on anything.....lol

Hi Kathy,

If you can get these herbs than make him a tea to drink: Corn silk,

gravel root, hydrangea root, stone root. Mix them up using 1 part of

each. Add the hydrangea, stone root and gravel root to boiling water,

cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Then pour over the corn silk and allow

to steep for 10 minutes. He should drink this 3 times a day. I would

also add in some marshmallow root as well for some extra demulcent

properties and to help heal his kidneys. This tea will help to prevent

kidney stones as well as break down any and help remove the gravel.
