Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Reggie, What has Marlie been eating (including snacks) for the past several weeks? All discharges are the result of excess, and suddenly moving to a colder climate can set off a discharge in a person who has stored excess. I'm wondering if a brown rice fast for several days might not prompt a big discharge (causing all the excess moisture to come out) and then after she has finished discharging, going back to regular everyday macrobiotic eating. Is Marlie a good grain chewer? Chewing the grain at least fifty times each mouthful (until it is liquid before swallowing)! Have a lot of tissues nearby because all the excess moisture will come out but then afterwards there should be no more discharge. GO MARLIE!!! Thank you, very much.

Today her cough is better and it's starting to come out like dripping nose. My brother is freaking that I'm not taking her to the dr and get an xray. I wonder if anyone here thinks I'm crazy that yes, it is TOO long to cough. Any opinions? I just made her brown rice, kale, broccoli and cauliflower with barley miso she had a big bowl.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 You know what, Reggie, you are probably right! What was I thinking? You can do the chewing for Marlie! ;-) Or break the cooked brown rice down in a suribachi with a surikogi. Another way might just make the rice a little softer by using more water in cooking it! The discharge may take a maximum of three days but could end in one or two days depending on what and how much she has been eating before this rice fast! GET WELL, MARLIE! Thank you, very much.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi Reggie I am not sure if I got all the posts about Marlie so hope I am not repeating any of the suggestions. I don't think you have anything major to worry about and her cough is probably her body efficiently adapting to the change of season/different location. I would watch fruit, juices, cold drinks, raw salads and baked foods. If she wants fruit, steamed apples are best. The standard pick me up foods are mild miso soup, soft rice with umeboshi and steamed greens. If she won't eat greens, try lots of broccoli. I would put a hot water bottle on her kidneys/lower back - often coughs relate to the kidneys too. Black soybean tea is very good or give her black soybeans with vegs if she won't take the drink. You could also try the broth from cooking soba noodles - that is a standard drink for coughs. Lotus root is very strong and I would only give her a very small amount coz of her age. You could also try soaking her feet in warm water to bring the energy down. Dishes like steamed whole carrots or large pieces of daikon would also be good and watch the salt. A mild umeboshi shoyu kuzu drink would also help because it strengthens the digestion which is the paired organ with lungs in Chinese medicine. Often you can help one area by treating the corresponding one instead. Children have very efficient bodies and adapt quickly - it sounds as if Marlie has a great appetite and energy so am sure this will pass - sometimes things happen when kids are about to make a big change such as growing or expanding their understanding so you may see some differences when she is feeling better. If I can think of anything else, will let you know.
