Re: [fast5] Re: vertigo?

Another thing you can do with ginger root ... buy a knob of it at the grocery store (it's cheap). Slice it into thin rounds. Pour sushi vinegar over it.

I keep it in the fridge, but it's ok at room temp too. Chop and add to meals. Super good for digestion and motion sickness.

My daughter carries candied ginger around, which she gives to friends when they get carsick. Says it always works. Candied ginger is awesome when chopped and mixed with chopped strawberries too (adding some pine nuts or other nuts is a nice touch too).

I think I already wrote this, but hey. I don't know any tricks for the other ingredients. Vit B is a great supplement in general.

The average American diet doesn't seem to have enough of some B vitamins. Yeast is one of the best sources, but we don't drink much "cloudy" beer either. Unlike, say, in older days, where everyone (including kids) started the day with beer or cider. Anyway, for an ongoing source of yeast, the "fake parmesan" is awesome. Actually I think it tastes better than "real parmesan". In the blender:

1. 2 cups of raw cashews

2. 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

3. 1 T dried garlic

4. 1 T powdered turmeric (or to taste)

5. 1 t salt (or to taste)

6. If you like spicy, 1 t red pepper flakes or cayenne.

Blend it up into a powder. Sprinkle on food. You can add dried seaweed too (instead of salt) or fermented black beans. Dried mushrooms add amazing flavor too. Dried greens add green stuff (dried green onions or dried spinach). Be creative! Makes a great hostess gift too. If needed, add some of those "do not eat" silica packets you find with some foods. (I save them for that reason).

Anyway, it's a great way to "sneak" good stuff into your diet. Here is an article about it:

It's great on popcorn, baked potatoes, vegies. Makes the meal more filling and satisfying somehow. Turmeric makes it nice and "yellow" and also happens to be very good for your brain.

Jeneric --

There's no complex and no link. Just buy these 4 ingredients separately and take them daily for your vertigo (and if you want to take them more than once a day, I see no reason why that could be harmful).

Once again:

Grapeseed extract
Ginger root
Gingko biloba
Vitamin B complex

That means, of course, 4 separate pills. But I take them all together and have never had a problem. It does take a few days (at least) for the symptoms to subside, but when they're gone, they're gone. And I keep bottles of all of them on hand in case the vertigo pops up again. So far this year, I've had no vertigo, but in previous years it's come once or twice a year, so I try to stay vigilant.

Good luck!
