Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition

Paul Pitchford
See book keywords and concepts
Horsetail is one of the most primitive plants; it is near the border between the plant and mineral kingdoms, and it readily offers its store of minerals if decocted in a tea. (It also contains a poisonous enzyme, thiaminase, which is easily neutralized by simmering in water for ten minutes.) When using horsetail products in the form of pills and capsules, purchase only those whose label states that they are specially processed to be non-toxic. Horsetail is also a diuretic and astringent herb and should be ingested in small quantities (see formula below).

Are There Any Side Effects or Interactions? Refer to the individual herb for information about any side effects or interactions. Cold Sores Cold sores (sometimes called fever blisters) are caused by a herpes virus, most often the herpes simplex 1 virus. Cold sores should not be confused with canker sores (p. 30), which are small ulcerations in the mouth. Rather, cold sores are fluid-filled blisters that form on the gums and the outside of the mouth and lips. The blisters, which are contagious, later break, ooze, and crust over before healing.

Though this species may prove to be identical with G. tsug-ae which does have a history of use in China, this kind of substitution should be carefully evaluated, because there may be significant differences in activity between species. For instance, Wang et al (1993) have said that the active high molecular weight polysaccharides of the mycelium and fruiting bodies of G. applanatum, G. lucidum, and G. tsugae "showed marked qualitative and quantitative differences in the component sugars, the protein-moiety content and average molecular weight.

Be sure to ask them about side effects or possible interactions with other drugs that you might be taking. (For recommended books on herbs, refer to the resource list on 635.)

Alternative Cures. Here's a very small sampling from the book. From the chapter on high blood pressure (page 351): "Volumes of scientific research show that dietary changes can eliminate high blood pressure—or hypertension—in most patients," says Julian Whitaker, M.D. "In spite of that, the routine approach of most doctors is to immediately start a patient on drugs—and usually without any recommendation for dietary change. The dangerous side effects of high blood pressure drugs often make this approach, in my opinion, more harmful to the patient than beneficial.

Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies

There would be an interdisciplinary team which could design experiments to measure the subtle energies of human function and observe how they are affected by different modalities of healing. Within the center there would be all manner of existing diagnostic technologies, from brainwave mapping and magnetic resonance imaging to more unconventional techniques such as electroacupuncture monitoring.

In particular, it has set up: • a long-term (low-maintenance) on-line reporting mechanism (PhytoNET) to parallel and augment orthodox reporting schemes (this can be found on http://ex.ac.uk/phytonet/) • a network of specialists and a panel of toxicologists from across Europe to actively pursue and evaluate safety data in this area.

For physical comfort take 30 to 50 drops of tincture 3 to 4 times daily to: • relieve intestinal gas and poor digestion that is due to insufficient bile • relieve constipation that is due to sluggish hver activity • help eliminate skin eruptions that are due to sluggish hver activity • relieve difficulty in urinating and/or water retention • use as a blood purifier to treat chronic auto-toxemia which is contributing to rheumatism, arthritis, and/or skin eruptions The dosage I have suggested is low for this particular herb, for Dandelion is safe, gentle, and shows no toxicity.

Intelligent Medicine: A Guide to Optimizing Health and Preventing Illness for the Baby-Boomer Generation

Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D.

The issue of credentialing is confusing because it may be that a back-alley Chinatown herbalist possesses skills far superior to those of a board-certified American-trained M.D. with a certificate from a short training course in TCM. See the Resource section for more on certification. Another issue is the way TCM is making its way into the self-care marketplace. Herbs like ginseng and ephedra, long mainstays of TCM formulas, are being marketed and popularized in over-the-counter pills, teas, and tinctures.

This herbal preparation should be swished slowly in the mouth before spitting out. To prevent recurrences, slightly less of the mixture can be used less frequently. A toothpaste containing sage oil, peppermint oil, chamomile tincture, expressed juice from Echinacea purpurea, myrrh tincture, and rhatany tincture has been used to accompany this mouthwash in managing gingivitis.21 Of the many herbs listed above, chamomile (p. 409), echinacea (p. 417), and myrrh (p. 446) should be priorities.
