Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Someone has asked that I send along this request for information. Can anyone help? ============= My friend is having black circles under his eyes, and its growing from the time he started his liver cleansing. He has completed 3 flushes, and according to him has passed out around 300 stones. If you have any information about the cause..I'd be very grateful. ============== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hi Jo, > My nose is permanently partly > blocked. > TIA > Jo Regarding the blocked nose, try the oil-sucking technique I recently described on Dom's kefir list .... you will find some relief as it cleans up the area where Sinus and mouth meet and therefore also the space above. I could imagine that this is a good add-on to flushing your sinuses. Be well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Joanne, I was always under the impression that dark circles were partially genetic....too bad for me, in that case. Although I do eat much better than my mom does. Re: neti pot All you need is a small (1-2 cup) teapot with a small spout---this will probably be cheaper than a neti pot anyway. Most health food stores sell the neti pots. I would think a syringe would be too forceful and you'd have to refill it a lot. I use my neti with warm water, salt and whey sometimes (per Heidi's suggestions) in the shower. It's great!!! You'll love it. Dark Circles Hi Saw somddiscussion lately on Dom's kefir list about dark circles under the eyes. I always thought they were down to lack of sleep (and bags due to water retention). Appears that they could be to do with either blocked sinuses or nutrient deficiency. I have heard vits C and B could be involved, as well as magnesium. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I seem to have them permanently, no worse or better since my sleep problems started. Heidi, I read about your neti pot technique - I don't know if I can get hold of a neti pot, but a friend has to flush his sinuses regularly (they empty into the pockts under his eyes if he doesn't) and he uses a syringe to squirt a saline solution into his sinuses, so I will ask him to help me gather the necessary equipment together. My nose is permanently partly blocked. TIA Jo ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi Sonya That's a good article, thanks. Interestingly, I have been supplementing with Calcium/Mag/Zinc. I used to take just mag, but when I gave up dairy, I switched to the combined pill (in chelated form). However, I noticed I was getting shakey and weak legged - do they call this muscle fatigue? I gave up the suplement, and afte a week or so I had gone back to normal. I've been taking it again, just for the magnesium even though I am eating (too much) dairy again, but my legs are getting weaker, especially at night when I take the supplement in the morning. Thing is I can't eat just a little dairy. Could this be a sign that my body is not absorbing the calcium? IF so, what I can do about it - digestive enzymes?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi - my understanding is that dark circles could point to allergies. Have you explored that angle?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Have you thought of using garlic as a type of flush?
