ALLSPICE BERRIES

Allspice berries aid in digestion. Works great to relieve indigestion and soothe discomfort especially in the upper intestines.  Helps to relieve bloating and a gassy feeling. 

Its volatile oil component also works as a weak antimicrobial agent.

If you have these health problems or are on medications or treatments that cause such problems, you would be wise to include this spice in your diet!

QUESTIONS FROM A NURSE

 In 2021 a lady who had been a nurse for 13 years wrote an article on facebook. She questioned why doctors don't do certain things for their patients. Following are a couple of the questions she asked that I believe are worthwhile to the public. 

• Why don't doctors tell patients to take magnesium instead of stool softeners (Which dehydrate the bowel)?
• Why don't doctors tell you to change your diet when you have heart burn and indigestion, instead of giving you Prilosec (this causes more heartburn, colon cancer & osteoporosis and leaves food fermenting in your body)?

I am not a nurse or doctor, just a patient. I admit I have never had to deal with either of the problems mentioned above so I am not giving my opinion on any of them. I am just sharing some thoughts some of you may find interesting.
