mescalito Posted March 31, 2003 Anybody out there know about this disease-there's a lot of shit about managing the pain-what about esoteric healing? My beloved is in her sixth year,and her hands are f@cked up at the moment. Doctors (quacks) don't know shit, they just want to pump her full of chems.-,and we won't do it :mad: ,she's had worse reactions from pharms. any advice would be appreciated. BTW it's an auto-immune disease-mary-jane helps but that's all we got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theobromos Posted April 3, 2003 Perhaps see what herbs work for hayfever and try them? Nettle, mugwort, large doses of vine leaf are the only things that work for me. [ 03. April 2003, 00:52: Message edited by: theobromos ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(on the same note I heard a story about a sailor who was lost at sea...drifting, starving to death...a seagull knocked itself out flying against the mast...he snatched it and started eating it raw, feathers and all...he said later, nothing had ever tasted that good...)

Thelema Posted April 4, 2003 Yes I am for real. In fact her scleroderma could be a direct result of her vegetarian lifestyle. If she wont take to eating raw meat, then I am sure you could persuade her in the name of science to wear a compress of raw mince over the affected parts for at least 2 hours a day, for 7 days(no showering afterwards for 6 hours!). she might be grossed at first, but when the scleroderma begins to ease she will undoubtedly be for it. It has to do with the enzymes present in raw meat, BTW. Gomaos, when I was in france (unfortunately, it was during the mad-cow outbreak) I used to have steak tartare at least twice a week. Here's its recipe, for anyone interested: STEAK TARTARE AL A NORMANDIE Ingredients: ~300g of best quality beef(w/o fat), minced, raw. 2 heaped teaspoons of capers 2 heaped teaspoons of raw chopped white onion 2 heaped teaspoons of finely chopped parsley 2 heaped teaspoons of chopped gherkin 1 egg, with white discarded [optional]: lettuce shreds to form a bed Method: Place the mince in the middle of the plate. traditionally the yolk is kept in an eggshell-half and placed in the middle of the mince. Arrange the 4 seasonings around the mince on the plate. Eating: usually the yolk is mixed with the mince and all other ingredients combined, either wholly or by the pieceful. YUM!

mescalito Posted April 4, 2003 Could also be a direct result from being continually abused(until I met her :D ) Stress plays a HUGE part,but I wil pass on the info-as I said Mary Jane is a magic herb in the right context... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theobromos Posted April 4, 2003 And, of course, do a search with key words "scleroderma" and "self-help" and get the gen from people with too much experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
