Hi Tim,
Just curious, I can eat candied ginger like it's going out of style. Think the candied version would be effective as an antiinflammatory agent?

I am wishing!!!
There's got to be some good news here in regards to diet. It's killing me. lol I need starch free treats....

Hi Megan,

Sorry, no personal use of the candy. I know they have ginger tea etc... the best I have found was the actual ginger root (whether in tea or put on my food).

Did not like the taste at all, so was hard for me to continue.

This is just raw sliced ginger root, but it's coated in a bit of sugar.
Spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down?

Hi
I have a question. What is Brussel Sprout? I saw some picture from googling it. It does look like the sprouts of cabbage, isn't it.

Like the expression!!! That should work.

Hey Tim:

From the most arcane musical group ever:

Who would go and who would come
Or who would simply linger
And who would hide behind your chair
And steal your crystallised ginger

(A Very Cellular Song by Mike Heron/The Incredible String Band)

I've been eating it *almost* ever since, and that is a lot of years. I'm still afraid of it, despite not having reacted as-yet. You can find this in the baking sections of supermarkets and in health food stores, and it can be used to make ginger tea, also.

My anti-inflammatory foods include baked salmon, ocean dulce, sea cucumber (urgh--this is more a cup 0' gall--yeah, they wrote this into their music, eventually...--than the colloidal minerals, but some people consider it a food!), wheatgrass juice (while we're on the subject), cranberries, blueberries, mint, fresh cilantro, sauerkraut, cucumbers, pomegranates, garlic, possibly fenugreek, dill and neem leaves (which are a great food, btw).

Slithering and squelching on,
John

Hi Charlie

well Brussel sprouts are a quite common winter food here in europe. I think it comes from a plant with buds growing thickly on the stem of a cabbage-like plant. It is not simply small cabbage...
I guess it is not common in your part of the world ...

Cheers

Hi Dragonslayer

that an interesting and somewhat surprising list of anti-inflammatory foods in my opinion. Please let me ask some questions:

ocean dulce: I guess that is the seaweed that we call dulse here in sweden. My experience with seaweed tells me to stay away from seaweed as they stimulate the immune system too much. Is ocean dulce an exception, better than other seaweed?

Garlic? This is really scary as far as I know, really dangerous and full of inulin. Have you found out if raw or cooked or otherwise prepared is better? I really really would like to eat this, it is the most wonderful food. Yum

Thanks a lot
Andreas
