This may sound a little crazy but I just had to tell y'all! We were having a stomach virus going around our house so I decided to take a ginger capsule. It really work so I took them for a few days. The funny thing is since I started taking them my bones don't ache as much. My wrists and ankles don't feel like they are going to snap in half and my muscles don't tighten up anymore. Wow, I feel so much better that I even spent six hours yesterday refinishing a cradle my grandfather made for my son that we are passing down for his daughter that is on the way. I did a little research and found this out about ginger: Medicinal Uses and Indications: MIND, BODY AND SOUL! Hugs. |

I knew about Ginger and nausea. There is a maternity shop that sells ginger snacks for Moms to be for morning sickness. I did eat Ginger snaps when I felt a little nauseaous during chemo....but I never knew about all of the other good things Ginger does.... I am going to try it. I think the Ginger capsules would have a lot more ginger than a cookie (and probably less calories...HA).
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Marge - great info. When doing some research on antioxidant-rich foods, I recently learned - to my amazement - that spices have some of the highest levels. Like cinnamon, cloves, parsley, oregano. I bought a huge container of cinnamon and have it handy to sprinkle on just about anything. With foods like ginger and other spices, we can increase the cancer-fighting ability of our bodies.
Keep fighting on ladies, Mary Ann

I also found info from a Doc doing research on cancers in general that cumin helps prevent as well as treat cancer and is a great companion during chemo. He suggests 2 capsules three times a day. Great tasting in recipes also!
