i'm going through radiation right now and everything is making me nauseaous (sp?). i'm already vegetarian and eating things that sound good but smoothies are about the only thing that don't upset my stomach. anyone have any ideas?
Rebubla, I'm sorry to hear that you are having to go through radiation. Sugar water is good for nausea. Also, a little weed never hurts. ) Have you spoken to your Dr. about getting something prescribed for you i.e., phenergan?
i'm already on phenergan and compazine; in fact i just got off the phone w/ the doctor and they're going to up my doses. i was hoping for something natural but alas i guess it's going to have to be meds. thanks for the info!!
2 suggestions: Wormwood: not just for making absinthe, this is one of the best herbs to calm your stomach because it is the most bitter. Yerba Mate: I've read that this has helped others through radiation and made the process easier. All the best to you, and I hope you find something!
Radiation sickness? Thats not very good atall.. How much radiation were you exposed to? (We covered this in my physics class and it sounds nasty...expecially when you get to higher exposures...)
The person who said iodine is right on, and that's probably one of the top things you could do right now. Food based iodine chelates radioactive iodine and pushes it right out of the body...and it also feeds the thyroid gland and gives the immune system a huge boost, which is really what you need. The best form of iodine in my opinion though, is powdered kelp. Any sea vegetable you find in the health food store is great, but powdered kelp is the most absorbable, and it's a whole food. Also, blue green algae is great since it was on the planet when a lot of radiation existed in the atmosphere. It also contains a huge spectrum of trace minerals that help your whole body cope with what it is going through... I actually distribute a great BGA product you can find here - http://174486.amazonherb.net/Group06_Aquazon.aspx You can also find yerba matte there - http://174486.amazonherb.net/Group06_MatteTea.aspx I have never heard of yerba matte helping someone through radiation but it is definatley a great herb with a lot of "medicinal" value. The herb's it is mixed with there would actually be perfect for you right now, pau d arco(tahari) and una de gato, to help your immune system really get a grip on things. A lady today in the health food store was telling me how pau d arco helped her get rid of lumps she had on her breasts..and even though it was just part of a whole program she was doing, she was giving the Pau D Arco a lot of good words. It's an amazing "anti-cancer" herb(I'm not a medical doctor who can treat or diagnose, or give advice intended to treat or diagnoise any condition that should be treated with "professional" help.) BTW, smoothies are great. Use lot's of fruits and vegetables in them, and you can even make blended soups with sea vegetables that would be great for you right now. Make sure you have some oil in them too, to keep your body buffered and protected from the toxins circulating in it.
