Very interesting article, Porcelein Doll. I always wondered how those supposed "healing oils" actually worked. Voila! They contain special active ingredients that work directly on key organs like pituitary glands, etc.
I have a question for you, and I know you don't know the circumstances, but here goes: as you know my mom had a stroke recently. But she's recovering mostly to her pre-stroke level. She's a good cook but ONLY knows how to fry things in a frying pan, has containers or lard in her house, etc. She has the highest cholesterol her doctor has ever seen.
When I tried to take her for walks (she doesn't exercise at all) she wouldhave to stop every 60 yards to breathe heavy and catch her breath. I thought it was just because she was so out of shape, but last night a friend told me that had happened to his mother too, but that it wasn't lack of exercise that made her so short of breath, but the fact that her arteries were SO clogged up that blood couldn't get through very well to get oxygen to her body.
What sayest thou? :c)
And what's the simple off-the-top-of-your-head solution to a 70-year old lady who doesn't want to exercise and has such shortness of breath?
She smoked 55 years till she had the stroke, then stopped cold, so that could account for some of it. But she's not smoking now, tho it will take time for that to get out of her system. And she IS trying to not fry at all now. Her food is rather plain, baked and boiled. I guess a lifetime of abuse caught up with her.
