It is so important to protect our liver - once there are visible symptoms, it has been a problem for quite a while & will take time to repair. The good news - the liver can repair!

This is a great source of B vitamins. These vitamins are depleted with stress, alcohol, fast food diet and some medications.

How to make barley water:

Barley water tonic for chronic kidney disease and kidney health.

1 cup organic Pearl Barley

5 cups Distilled water (CS would be even better)

Juice of 1/2 lime

2 tablespoon honey

Cinnamon stick (1 0r 2)

Root Ginger (thumb size)

1. Put ingredients in a pan

Place the Pearl Barley in a sieve and rinse for a minute or so with plenty of fresh running water.

Place the Pearl Barley, water, ginger and cinnamon in a pan and turn heat on high. Bring the water to the boil and then simmer for 20-25 minutes with the lid off. This will reduce the amount of water by about 1/3. When done the grains should be softened and cooked.

Pour the barley water mixture through a sieve to seperate the barley grains, ginger and cinnamon from the Barley Water. Add the lemon juice and honey to taste, stir and leave to cool.

Barley water is normally drunk cold. Your home made Barley Water should keep well in a glass covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

It is so important to read labels. Anything fried in canola oil is not a healthy option. Potato chips & many dips, but there are others - some disguised as ‘vegetable oil’.

Today I would love to share a story. A dear friend suffered from cold sores from a teenager. Any stress, physical or emotional set it off. I advised the amino acid L Lysine as a standard for the herpes simplex virus (and Vitamin C). In her fifties, she started taking either nutritional or brewers yeast for health and as a result she realised no cold sores appeared again. She continues to take about a tablespoon daily.
For the B vitamins alone, nutritional yeast is a valuable addition to our diets. It can be added to smoothies, soups, casseroles etc.
Nutritional yeast or brewers yeast is available at supermarkets or health food stores.

Carpal Tunnel Exercise and Taping Technique from Dr. John Bergman

From Dr. Bergman - an exercise with an elastic band to help heal carpal tunnel syndrome. The other picture is a technique with electrical tape to open up the carpal tunnel while you sleep. It really works. Braces make it weaker and don't help. Surgeons like to cut the carpal tunnel which of course doesn't address the cause which starts in the neck.
