Just saw in Dr. Weil's daily newsletter that Ginger is also an anti-

inflammatory. Here's what his site says about it:

Featured Herb: Ginger

Chronic low-grade inflammation has been linked to the development of

many age-related health conditions. Although this process may be

barely noticed, there are things you can do to prevent or delay

health issues related to inflammation. Consider using turmeric (see

yesterday's Daily Tip), following an anti-inflammatory diet, and

taking ginger, a natural anti-inflammatory herb that may help to

lessen the risks and/or symptoms of many inflammatory-related

disorders. Dried ginger preparations are actually more powerful than

fresh because of a chemical conversion of its constituents on

drying. Capsules of dried, powdered ginger are now commonly sold in

health food stores; use only those that are standardized for their

content of active components. The recommended starting dose is 1

gram per day (usually two capsules), taken after a meal to avoid

stomach irritation. There is no toxicity and you can stay on it

indefinitely.

Yes, it seems that it is made using silicates or silica. If you do

an internet search, you will find it. It also has aluminum...icky

stuff that doesn't belong in the human body! (But is used in lots of

things, like baking powder. Look for the aluminum free ones.)

It is probably considered GRAS by the FDA (Generally regarded as

safe), but I think I'd stay away from it.

Patty - I just can't believe the things I never would have known

contained silicone - I'm so glad that I am becoming aware of it

now. That the FDA would approve it in the first place is just

terrible. I don't think I will ever think of the french vanilla

creamer as my comfort food again! I have switched to an herbal

green tea and am getting used to it (however with a little organic

sugar). Thanks to you and Rogene for sharing your knowlege!

Sis - I was wondering where to find that info. I'm going to hang on

to that website. Isn't it just unbelievable what is put into food

for human consumption? No wonder so many people are sick. I have

been reading Dr. Weil's book 8 weeks to optimum health and he talks

about ginger too.

Hey, where are we going to meet Friday? If you are still up to it.

Are we supposed to get another storm? We only had a couple inches

last night, and the kids still had school.
