Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi Steve,Thanks for this input. I'm about to start essiac, so this is helpful.Be well,Léna Hi Jim, This Essiac Tea is powerful stuff. I can tell you that I've never had such a strong reaction after drinking a cup of herbal tea. I had both a herxing response and a detox response. I felt pretty good two or three days later. When I tried drinking a cup of this tea two days in a row, it was too much. My herxing and/or detox reaction was too great. I'm thinking of experimenting with it every three or four days to see how it goes. There is something to it. I'm sure everyone's response will be different. I've had lyme for over 16 years so I still have a high bacterial load. Steve "One person can make a difference."

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks Steve,We're all in this together: a family of Lymie lab-rats!At the moment, I've just introduced chia seed meal to my smoothies in the a.m. so will wait on the tea for a little. Also taking Naproxen for the trigger-finger surgery, so that's a variable I'd like behind me. I try to only have one new thing going at a time.I've got the Caisse's Essiac® 4-herb liquid, which should be an easy intro in the early days of our trip (think we're leaving in about 2 weeks) then, after using that up, I plan to make the tea from the dry herbs I've ordered from Mountain Rose. And In December, all things being equal, will try Dr. Bill's Holy tea, which sounds very interesting. Marc Fett over at Lymestrategies has spoken highly of that for really cleaning/healing the gut.It's always onward and upward around here.One small useful note: yesterday, eager make sure that no sensory nerve damage had occurred during my trigger-finger surgery on my thumb, (it was totally numb for many hours afterward,) I put some DMSO on the exposed part of the thumb and within FIVE seconds, feeling returned to that spot. It had helped clear the cells of the anesthetic that fast. Neat huh?Be well,Léna Hi Lena,I would like to hear how it works for you.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks to all who responded. (This is a very responsive group!) Jim - What I SHOULD have said is that I started getting headaches after the second DAY, not the second cup. I bought the extract in the tiny bottle that calls for 40 drops in a cup of hot water and I did only one cup each day. Perhaps I should start again at one or two drops and work my way up. Joe - Very good idea about binders. I do take binders and I will try using them after my tea as you suggested.Damarise - I have lithium coming my way as we speak, and can't wait to try it.Marie - I usually have low blood pressure, but the next time I get a headache I will run over to wallyworld and check my blood pressure. It could be spiking. I do get plenty of magnesium, but not niacin. You guys are the greatest!!! " The weather is here, wish you were lovely.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi Robin, Essiac tea is antibacterial, so you can herx from it, I did one time.. The suggested dose is 1 oz of tea concentrate (cold) and 2 oz (or more) of hot water (not microwaved), once daily... Either 1 hr before or 2 hrs after food.. AND drink a lot of water, Essiac is a detoxing tea and you need to flush the toxins out... Also, get some good " sauna " time in... The burdock root in the tea actually pushes toxins through the skin, so the sauna helps greatly with this.. Essiac tea is good for you and yummy too!!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi Lena,Why are you making 1/2 gallon of tea concentrate? That is really a lot!! It only lasts about 2 weeks in the fridge, so at best you may drink up to a quart in that time, even sharing with Bruce.. You bought at Mountain Rose, right?. Does Mountain Rose's recipe by any chance call for making 1/2 gallon of the tea concentrate?. If so, then you can halve the recipe to make a quart or quarter it to make a pint of the concentrate... I would suggest you make one quart or even one pint of the concentrate. Please let me know exactly what MRH's instructions say.. I probably will be repeating this to others and I would like to get it right.. I don't blame you for not wanting an open flame overnight, so yes I don't see why a thermos would not work... Tip: Heat some water first and put it in the thermos for about 1/2 hour (add enough water to fill the thermos), then dump the water and replace with the tea... This way the tea's heat will not be wasted on heating up the thermos... And when you get up in the AM, put it back on the stove on the lowest setting... From the time you boiled it the night before until the time you " steam " heat it the next day, 12 hours needs to go by.. Honestly, I think 1/2 gallon is too much, I barely use one quart over a few weeks.. I hope your guys are having fun on your journey!!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hi Jim, Thanks for getting back to me. I'm having some internet problems on the road, so connection is a sometime thing!My MRH Essiac package is in the deep reserves chest in the back of the truck at the moment, so can't get to it easily yet, but their instructions were (I think) fir making a gallon at a time. I found a good half-gallon container that would hog some space in my fridge, but am glad to hear you say a pint, as space is at such a premium.Thanks for the pre-warming suggestion for the thermos. That makes good sense!Washington, DC is such a dense experience, that we're wiped out when we get back to the ePod at night; a real touring marathon, for which we haven't adequately trained. =) Have only posted one entry on our blog: findingourway.wordpress.combut I've got another Bruce may post tonight.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hi Lena, I've got all this dosing figured out! Please don't make a gallon!! It will last about 2 months, but it will spoil after about 2 weeks!! Instead make one quart or a pint if you wish... To make a quart, use 1 ounce of herb mix to 32 ounces (better to use 34 - 36 as some will boil off) distilled water. Bring to a hard boil for a good 10 minutes... then for you since you are going to put in a thermos, allow to cool to a temp not so hot, then pour into your thermos. In the AM, remove from the thermos, place on the lowest setting on the stove, cover the pot. 12 hours needs to pass from the hard boil to the next step... Now heat up the Essiac to a steaming hot, but not a boil, allow to cool down somewhat. Then strainer this into a glass container and place in the fridge. The solids you strain are good for your dog!! Give him some daily in his food... Do this over 4 - 6 days. Otherwise it would be thrown out.. For a pint, use 1/2 oz of herb mix to 16 oz (18 oz is better) and repeat the above! To make the tea to sip, use 1 oz of tea concentrate (cold) to two or more ounces of hot water, stir and sip slowly... Yummy! It is late, I will catch your blog in the morning!! Glad you guys have survived DC!! Jim.... :-) > > > > Hi > I didn t get any head aces from the tea,but i do suffer from chronic > headaces anyway. but the tea really made me feel much better, i drink > just an oz a day with hot water added to the oz of concentrate and i > take it in the morning without any food at all. i wait one hour or > more before eating anything, and i think you have to drink it slowly, > sipping it. i find the tea very light but i feel so great so far. > Maybe your headace is a hex reaction, as the tea is a detox so it is > possible. i take lithium orate before doing any detox, it protects > your brain. maybe you can try that... > Damarise > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hi Lena, As I was trying to figure out the mistake on the " healthfreedom " Essiac site, I did notice they said 1/8th cup or 2 Tbsp is used to make one quart (32 oz) of tea concentrate. And to be sure they have this correct, I did verify that 1/8th cup is indeed 2 Tbsp on this link (lower right): http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/convert/measurements.html I presume since they are talking about 2 level measured Tbsp as you would if you were baking a pie.. Even if you are off a bit on this, it is nothing to worry about.. Better to be a bit over than under. I personally prefer to weigh mine, but really either method works.. So if you are going to make 1 pint (16 oz), you would use 1 Tbsp!! Hope you are having an enjoyable time... :-) Jim > > > > > > > > Hi > > I didn t get any head aces from the tea,but i do suffer from chronic > > headaces anyway. but the tea really made me feel much better, i drink > > just an oz a day with hot water added to the oz of concentrate and i > > take it in the morning without any food at all. i wait one hour or > > more before eating anything, and i think you have to drink it slowly, > > sipping it. i find the tea very light but i feel so great so far. > > Maybe your headace is a hex reaction, as the tea is a detox so it is > > possible. i take lithium orate before doing any detox, it protects > > your brain. maybe you can try that... > > Damarise > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks Jim!This sounds great! As I'm not always where I can get my mail, I try to make my supps last as long as possible and not waste any. Now that we've settled into a road routine, I think I'll first use up my Essiac liquid concentrate. I think I'm ready for a new variable and this looks like a good one. This Washington DC tour-marathoning is incredibly demanding!

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 This tea is a delight what a good add to our protocol Jim KIndly Marie Subject: Re: OT: Essiac teaTo: Lyme_and_Rife Date: Monday, November 28, 2011, 6:19 PM Hi Lena,As I was trying to figure out the mistake on the "healthfreedom" Essiac site, I did notice they said 1/8th cup or 2 Tbsp is used to make one quart (32 oz) of tea concentrate.And to be sure they have this correct, I did verify that 1/8th cup is indeed 2 Tbsp on this link (lower right):http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/convert/measurements.htmlI presume since they are talking about 2 level measured Tbsp as you would if you were baking a pie.. Even if you are off a bit on this, it is nothing to worry about.. Better to be a bit over than under. I personally prefer to weigh mine, but really either method works.. So if you are going to make 1 pint (16 oz), you would use 1 Tbsp!!Hope you are having an enjoyable time... :-)Jim> >> >> >> > Hi> > I didn t get any head aces from the tea,but i do suffer from chronic> > headaces anyway. but the tea really made me feel much better, i drink> > just an oz a day with hot water added to the oz of concentrate and i> > take it in the morning without any food at all. i wait one hour or> > more before eating anything, and i think you have to drink it slowly,> > sipping it. i find the tea very light but i feel so great so far.> > Maybe your headace is a hex reaction, as the tea is a detox so it is> > possible. i take lithium orate before doing any detox, it protects> > your brain. maybe you can try that...> > Damarise> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
