Re: The wonders of Lobelia was Remedy

[Guest guest]

Well, Susie, I should have had this thuoght a couple of weeks ago. My

streak is over. Last night I had a 7 1/2 hour attack that nothing

would stop. I drank ES twice, tried olive oil, hot cold therapy,

prayer, massage, hot castor oil pack. After almost 6 hours in the

tub, I finally curled up on a couch and dozed on and off. I was woken

out of a sound doze LOL, with the word lobelia. I think it was

inspiration. Unfortunately, I did not stop to think or read what the

proper dosage was. I took 2 large capsules. The good news is in 15

minutes, it was over. I have since learned it is a powerful relaxant.

It is also an emetic (read Ipecac for those of you who are parents).

I have had waves of nausea and dry heaves on and off throughout the

day. I cannot even tolerate a sip of water. Any nutritionists or

herbalists know a " safe " dosage for capsules? I think one would have

done the trick without the nausea. Also when will this wear off? This

is a testimony to those who don't believe herbs are medicinal. Be

very careful. Normally I am very cautious and read first, but I

really felt it was inspired (and still do) so didn't stop to think. I

think I got overconfident with meat. I usually only eat about once a

week, but over the last two weeks, was out of town both weekends, ate

out, etc. The greasy, fast food, fried stuff is not a problem for me.

I see skull and crossbones when I see that stuff. I made an

appointment today to talk to the surgeon on Aug 1. I'll probably get

another ultrasound a few days before. Until then, no meat for this

girl and I think I will mostly juice. Just take it day by day. Dawn

One thing that I have to fight is getting overconfident, which

Susie,

It is quite a controversial herb. I believe the FDA has it in

its sights for annihilation. However it is revered and respected by

many herbalists. Many recommend taking it to nausea. Well I guess I

did that. It is a powerful relaxant, sedative, and stimulant. It

immediately relaxed my gb. But I spent the whole day fighting nausea

and vomiting. Happy to say today I am back to normal. I don't know

where to go from here. Dawn

What is lobelia? I've never heard of it.
