From Loryhl:
QUESTION:  Regarding Wheatgrass.   Is there any problem for a person in good health to take Wheatgrass?  Some think it might act as a tonic or Vitamin Supplements and throw off the balance of a healthy person who doesn't need the Supplement?  And what would be the ideal dosage?  Should I take breaks or is it ok to take daily for long periods of time?  It "cured" my migraine headaches.  But if I quit taking it for 2-3 days, the headaches come back in force.  Thank you for any information. Also, what would you recommend for my sister who has fibromyalgia, what is the best way to relieve her pain?

ANSWER:  Thank you kindly for the inquiry.  I feel as the scripture says, "wheat is the staff of life of man". Especially the ancient grains, not the hybrid grains, of today that are making so many people ill, with allergy to wheat.
     If you are sprouting the wheat, make sure it is not a hybrid, use Kamut, Spelt, etc.   Some people react adversely to the wheatgrass. Either it detoxes them too fast or it upsets their system in some way. Listen closely to your body, and you will know if you are in touch with how good it is or isn't for you.
     In today's world, with the amount of toxins we ingest and breathe in, if your body likes it, use it!  I suggest using it 6 days a week, take a rest day off. Every 2-3 months, take a week or two off, or less if you feel you  need less. This way your body will be able to tell you if something is amiss, or just absorb nutrients on another level.
     I personally feel, it is a wonderful tool of health for the body. I do not recommend using wheatgrass, and then eating a diet daily, that is laden with toxic foods, sugar white flour heavy meats etc. This would likely cause greater feeling of ill health and unease, due to toxins.
      For Fibromylagia, I suggest you read the download, and add to this our blend, called Free Flowin, it is wonderful for chronic inflammation, and pain.  I suggest she find a well recommended acupuncturist in the area, and see them, regularly for a couple of months, then occasionally as she needs to. This will bring relief and a new sense of well being to her, along with the diet and herbs. Essential fatty acids are very good, and should be in the diet, nuts, seeds, fish if not vegetarian.
      Anything that slows her body down, and makes her feel lagging, in any way is suspect for her to eat. For a time, her diet may be very limited until she finds what agrees with her. Inflammation causing foods, or stress are the enemy.
     Use diet, cleansing, acupuncture, massage , reflexology, and hot/cold water baths and saunas also. Skin bruising is excellent in restoring a sense of well being and healthy circualtion, and movement of stagnant CHil or vital force.
      I hope you find this helpful.

CHRONIC FATIGUE
QUESTION: For the past three years or so I have been suffering from chronic fatigue, and I am only twenty-one years old. Ever since I was a child I expressed feelings of constantly being tired. I've had a very pale complexion and dark circles around my eyes for the majority of my life. Six years ago my dark eye circles began to get worse, they are constantly dark and have a sunken look.  My eyelids are droopy, and there is an evident loss of collagen. One dermatologist told me that I have hyperpigmentation, another told me that he only saw dilated blood vessels. If I look closely at my eyes I see big green and red veins, but they are covered by the extra pigment or darkness. Many sources say that the eye darkness is due to kidney problems. Is it? My doctor told me that I have a mild case of anemia, six years ago one doctor told me that I might have a liver problem, because they found blood in my urine.  I have a very mild case of psoriasis, that has recently been getting worse. My liver was tested around a year ago and the test came back negative. I drink a great deal of water, but my urine is constantly acidic, and sometimes odorous. As a child I had tuberculosis, but I received treatment for it and have not had it since. I am also suffering from depression. Two years ago I used to take Paxil, but I did not feel that it was working for me so I stopped taking it. I am still depressed. I am also over weight, around 30 pounds. Lately, I've been running, but I guess I over did it and now my right knee hurts too much to go up and down stairs, and certainly to run. I suffer from body dysmorphic disorder due to my severe under eye circles/ dilated blood vessels and weight. I dropped out of college around two years ago and I have basically been wasting my life. I don't go outside I just stay home and watch TV. This is due to my lack of energy, and severe depression/body dysmorphic disorder. I also suffer from some kind of sinus problem, because I can't breathe well through my nose. What is wrong with me? I am also very constipated. Do I have leaky gut syndrome or auto -intoxication? Please help me find herbs that will help with: 1)my severely dark eye circles/ dilated blood vessels  w/ the loss of collagen  2) my very pale complexion (everyone in my family has an olive skin tone)  3) my severe lack of energy  4) my depression  5) my knee pain 6) my dark and acidic urine 7) my constipation 8) my mild case of psoriasis 9) my being overweight 10) my sinus issues.  Thank you very much for your time.

ANSWER: With all the issues you've brought up, my recommendation is that you go to see a medical professional and have a full blood chemistry done as well as a urinalysis. That will give you a better idea of the condition of your system.  My first thought is to improve your diet. With all these symptoms, I'm sure you aren't eating a healthy diet. Stay away from processed foods, exercise every day, even if it's only walking down the block and back. Get professional medical advise. There's way too much going on here to pinpoint what the problem is.
