Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 When you say you feel the Ojibwa Tea healed the gut, what do you mean? He could tolerate more foods?? Did you have diarehrea before and now doesn't?? Do you know what effects this tea would have on a yeast problem? And last, but not least, where did you get the tea??

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Hi! I give my son Ojibwa Tea from www.ojibwatea.com . We started last August. We had just come up on one year gluten free and 18 months casein free and wanted more. I think the herbs in the tea coat his gut and also killed off a few more gut bugs (we already do/did probiotics, etc.) and they also promote liver function. He is much more alert and with it and although the diet did something to promote this I think the tea was much needed icing on the cake. Any one else with good tea experience please share, I rarely hear this and for us it is one supplement I wouldn't go without! Maddie PS just finished 2nd round chelation, no earth shattering breakthroughs but less bumps on cheeks and backs of arms. I always thought they were 'junk' trying to get out.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 I've heard some parents say that Ojibwa tea can cause severe diarhea (sp?) if you give more than just a tiny amount. Is this true? I'm tempted to try it, even though I'm usually a cynic about these types of remedies. I know that Seroussi mentioned it in her book as working very well for some kids and not at all in others. What's the chemical ingredient that makes it work and how does it work????

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 How often do give you son the tea and how much? I gave my son the tea but was told that I had to do it on an empty stomach. I did it for about three months. I don't know how much it helped him because I was also doing the diet, vitamins, and homeopathy at the time. I have a hard time giving it to him on an empty stomach since he never seems to have an empty stomach. LOL. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Hi: We have also had a lot of good results using this Ojibwa Tea. We use only 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. for my 5 year old. Before chelation, yeast treatment, enzymes, and other supplements, this was the only thing we were using along with the GFCF diet and we saw tremendous improvements in speech, eye contact, overall health, plus his seizures went away. It something the whole family can use as well. Sharon Sheila Ealey wrote: > Thanks for the tea tip. I drink plenty of variety green teas now, but had > never heard of this one.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Mercifully, this tea is VERY bland-mild, like raspberry leaf tea. I found the taste far more noticeable when you try to hide it in juice or something.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 I make the tea according to the package directions and refrigerate it. We didn't even strain it- I talked to Michele the " tea lady " and the results we were having were so good she said not to mess with success:) When I make a batch I put the whole glass pot in the fridge and dip out what I need with a 2oz bathroom paper cup, then add the warm water to the cup. It works great, no fuss:) I just HAve to make up some today-I've been lazy about doing it the past few weeks, and my " winter eczema " is coming back. The tea clears it up in a few days.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 I think like anything else, if you overdo, there can be problems. Ojibwa Tea is used as a detoxifier. It actually STOPPED my son's diarreah, and I reach for it immediately if a family member has symptoms of " food poisoning " . i suggest starting out slow, then slowly increasing until you find the right dose. I know kids who do well on incredibly tiny doses, a couple who do well on the two ounces per day recommended for cancer and AIDS patients ,and one who reacted badly to even a few drops. It's individual, like everything else:) Re: [ ] Ojibwa Tea I've heard some parents say that Ojibwa tea can cause severe diarhea (sp?) if you give more than just a tiny amount. Is this true?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 I do not dare use any of the usual supplements with -his sulfur chemistry is badly skewed, he has a high copper level and low blood sugar, both of which contra-indicate ALA.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 Hello Patti/tired momma, > --Can I find this tea in the local health food store? Or where? This " tea lady " seems to be incredibly popular so you may want to buy from her. You can also buy the tea at the HFS. It is called " essiac " and there is a brand name " Flor-essence " that sells it. (I may have the spelling of Flor-essence off, I did not just go look it up!) Anyway, look for Flor-essence " essiac " tea. Same thing. I have also seen some herb stores that sell the formula mixed [that is, their own blend of the bulk herbs], because a lot of people ask for it. You could look in the bulk herb section or ask at an herb store. I would ask for both " essiac " and " Ojibwa " . Generally you'll find dry herbs in a box. I think Flor-essence also makes a bottled version where the tea is already cooked up for you. Both are expensive (as teas go!) Buying the ingredients would probably be a lot cheaper. In fact, if you want I can get you the phone number of an herb store that I think sells the mix at " bulk herb " prices. I've never asked them if they ship herbs, but they might. One advantage of using the tea lady or Flor-essence is that they will give you specific instructions for how to brew the tea. Which buying bulk herbs will not get you. According to a book I have about essiac, there is some subtlety to getting the ingredients just right-- I can't vouch for this one way or the other, but they are pretty adamant about it. > Is > there any risk to using this tea? I don't really know. If you want to look up the herbs individually to read about them, let me know and I (or someone!) will post the ingredients. It is 4 or 5 herbs. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 All I can say is that about a couple of months ago, the tea lady said she was stressed out due to becoming a bigger distributor, now to England. She sounded very tired but she felt this was her calling in life and her love, to help others in this way. Maybe this might have something to do with it. She may be suffering from burnout or adrenal fatigue. Just my two cents' worth. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
