Re: Re iodine/juicing/now question re black walnuts vs english

[Guest guest]

Which brings a question. Are Black Walnuts and English Walnuts close

enough related that I, being allergic to English Walnuts (have not tried

either Black or English on purpose in years), would react the same to

Black as to English? We have a Black Walnut tree, that used to be a

grafted English, in our back yard. Husband insists on keeping it, even

though he rarely gets a nut, thanks to squirrels. For those who are not

familiar, the Black Walnut rootstock is used for grafting the English

walnut as the English do not have a strong root. So, when our English

died, the Black Walnut went to town and is over 20 ft high and maybe 18

in diameter. Gets lots of squirrel food, errr black walnuts, each year.

Our funny Calico cat (may she rest in peace, having been killed by

Melamine from Chinese food which I did not realize was produce in China)

used to fetch the black walnuts into the house, up the stairs to the

back deck, in through cat door and into the house. Chased them all over,

until they disappeared under a sofa or chair or behind the washer, then

would go get another one. Industrious little girl she was.

Yes, if you are allergic to one, you likely will be to the other! My nut allergy has improved since I treated for it with the home allergy kit, but I still avoid them mostly. Your kitty sounds precious! Too bad she had to succumb to idiocy from the food industry, poor gal!Sent from my iPadOn Jan 28, 2012, at 8:08 PM, Velda <solomon@...> wrote:

What home allergy kit did you use?

[Guest guest]

Thanks, I have always avoided the tree and the nuts, thinking it

might be the case. My problems may have started in college where my

dorm was next to a walnut orchard and we picked a lot of them after

the shakers went through to machine gather. I got kind of a soreness

in the roof of my mouth, and about 10 years ago it began to affect

my asthma if I got even a small piece (by accident, because by then

I was avoiding them). So, I simply do all I can to avoid them and

will continue.

Hi, -

You can learn more about the home allergy kit at:

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1239081

I have had great results with it. It works the same way NAET and BiSet works,

without having to spend a fortune on a practitioner.
