PS: Get a good juicing machine (I have an Olympic) and give her a couple of pints of fresh fruit and vegetable juices a day, taken slowly, 8 ounces or so at a time til she gets used to it. Try carrot, celery, lettuce, apple, spinach, cabbage, beet (small amounts), etc., and many different combinations thereof. It is really delicious and may help her a lot. The juice shuld not sit around or be stored in bottles to be drunk later because the nutrients in fresh live juices deteriorate quickly. It needs to be taken freshly so the live nutrients go to work in the body instantly. Juice gets into the blood stream right away because the pulp does not have to be digested first.
See if you can find books on juicing in the health food store. Books by Dr. Norman W. Walker are especially good if you can find one. anymore. "Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices, What's missing in your body?" This book talks about the deficiencies of certain minerals, salts and vitamins that can cause many of the symptoms of illnesses. Vegetable juices are categorically listed and their elements carefully explained. It is a guide providing suggestions for effective treatment of specific ailments from arthritis, asthma,bladder trouble, boils, decay of bones and teeth, dysentery, fatigue, insomnia, kidney trouble, thrombosis, tumors, varicose veins, and on and on. Juicing machines vary greatly. I first had a Juiceman Juicer, but it did not extract juices well, meaning the remaining pulp was always wet when it should have been dry, all juice extracted. I've had an Olympic for 17 years though I have not used it all that time. I had several problems with it, but there is a 10 year warranty on it and the company always replaced what was necessary. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carl Deb Charter To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 10:16 PM Subject: CS>Burning Feet Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with severe burning feet in an elderly woman? My mother has this problem and some swelling of her feet. The doctor did a diabetes test, she hasn't heard from them so she's assuming it's not that. I suspect she has neuropathy. The doctor also said it is nerve damage in her feet. He put her on some medication, called nuerotonin, or something like that, or its generic, which makes her feet swell!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
