Dumb Tincture Question

Well Dukes were MY favorite but NO way I could afford $500.00 plus on valve adjustments so often Next door neighbor but one and now a new Navy Seal just bought the house and is driving me insane with his new Yamaha factory racer. He keeps changing the exhaust and the sound is more beautiful to me than noises from a **** movie....He doesn't know how to ride well enough to own that bike and scares me every single time he drives off and I hear him slipping that clutch. Oh well, I had my day and used it well but breaks my heart since I planed my entire life for THIS time, even sold my car and had filled my garage with motorcycles for every mood. Now sold for hospital bills. I'd sell the old dingbat but sorta attached to the old girl it seems.

LOL! I finally have something memorized and...

Keep us posted Peteza and Trav. Or since I'm a complete lyme dummy just write "Take X and leave us alone."

I have all mine in the original boxes they shipped in, covered with a towel to block out light. Then when needed, I whip em out (the TINCTURES ya pervs!) add each to my Margarita (just kidding-or AM I?) , put them back in their cardboard box and recover. As happy as any Vampire could hope for. Best I can do since I fear my refrigerator is too cold?

Make the wife giggle a lot too. Well mostly when I am undressing for some reason.

Just to clarify, tinctures do not last 10 years. A well made tincture can last up to 3 years, but only if it's kept away from heat and light, and stored in an amber or blue colored bottle.

Traveler, you don't believe the link I posted? Is that a horribly wrong source? Hmmm, I got that link from this site. But it was a long time ago.

Let me know so I can delete it from my references. Thanks

This is what I just learned from the Herbal Academy of New England in my studies to become a Certified Herbalist. I trust their sources. I was also told this by the Master TCM/ Master Western Herbalist when I was being treated the first time around - and I trusted her with my life, and she saved it.

Tinctures have plant matter that continues to break down in the alcohol/glycerin, so while they don't become poisonous or anything, they will no longer have the potency they need to work properly.

thanks, I will delete that source.

Well maybe I should "visit" one of my ex's and then she alone would likely spread this curse to the majority of men in, oh lets say a couple months time max? THEN I can get me some MANLY men time! Why this discrimination is scandalous. I wonder if the reason women seem to be so much more prevalent for Lyme Disease is because their immune systems are so much weaker from how hard they work?

I mean, a woman is a sentence for 24/7 NONSTOP labor. Work all day on a job or at home then come home and begin tending to a mate/partner plus pets, kids,housework, shopping, cooking, if really REALLY lucky gets a nap here and there and that has just got to play some part?

Makes me ashamed to be honest (slinking off into the sunset)

Mike,

Love what you observe about women. I was wondering the same. My son has it and I think my husband has it. A buddy of my husband's called today because his friend has very bad lyme and wants to talk to me. I'll be directing him to my invisible friends (you guys) when we chat.

I think my husband has had it for a while but because he is big and strong he can ignore symptoms. Honestly I was really strong before lyme.

I always see men in the waiting room at the LLMD's office. We are on east coast though so maybe not as many in sunny Cali where the living is good.

July,
"They cry over a paper cut." LOL! Let's not even begin to discuss the man-cold

Girlie,

Your husband has it too! But he won't even treat until you can help him? LOL! That is SO my husband. He will then ask me every single thing to do, what he should take, remind him when he should take it. Part of me wants him to have it because it will make sense of some health issues but another part of me is like "Oh now I can take care of three people with Lyme."

Did you start your husband on herbs? Is he chronic or found tick? He's lucky to have no symptoms really.

Amazing that he has had it for so long. I guess he has a very strong immune system.

We all have very different symptoms too. Lyme is so crazy that way.

He's lucky to have such an expert to help him through. You sound so relaxed about it all.

I can't imagine my husband detoxing, nor giving up gluten, dairy, alcohol, coffee, etc...

Well, more guy friends for Mike.

Well I was the big & strong type, took the 4 bullet & shrapnel wounds in stride and told to never walk again REFUSED to accept that. Went out and taught myself to walk again and went out to win 2 World Surfing Contests before switching gears to race motorcycles for awhile. Couldn't maintain sponsorships back then if bouncing between several loves so just did all I did for the lOVE of it, but no factory money. Anyway, wasn't till April 2014 when the removed a 3 year old double spine fusion done wrong and did 4 MORE fusions all at once and then found that massive tumor wrapped around the base of my spine. The very first surgery had their Mazor Robot open me up (YouTube has videos for those NOT faint of heart with my back skin splayed out over my SIDES while the robot went to work once they got the tumor out. Now this would be just the first of 5 major surgeries in the next 6 months. Let me tell you, as a man who refused any and ALL pain medications all my life and who never blinked till then, THAT series of surgeries "broke" me. Fully and completely BROKE me. I was in bed unable to even roll myself over on my own for 5 months. So never would ever walk again without crutches or Trekking Poles. And my pain NEVER leaves.

Moral is, no matter how big or how tough, nothing and NOBODY broke me, not even torture in War. But this set of surgeries combined with my advanced age did. Oh, I never quit, but my spirit was waning so badly I almost did. That alone was failure to ME. My whole neighborhood literally cheered me on when I would fall on the asphalt and refuse to be helped up but would climb back up and make it home on my own with neighbors in tow I often got home pretty bloody from all the falls and I fell every single day. When I got to my 1 to 2 miles every single day, missing NO days for 2 years and my arms looking like Popeye (from the massive muscle development) the wife said, I was on my way back. Wore out 2 sets of $200.00 NICE carbon fiber Trekking Poles and just bought my third set when my legs crumbled and I would never again get up. And now after 10 months of testing by every Neuro "specialist" my Primary could fine, here I am. Diagnosed when blood work tested positive for 2 bands of Lyme. Glued to this specially made recliner. And while I still never gave up, my body HAS. And I DO now complain and I do it LOUDLY to everyone I encounter in the Medical field who I now despise in this Country who abandoned me as a USMC Combat Veteran and now as a person with this Infectious Disease..... I literally am considering leaving the US to either Canada or more likely France of all places and ONLY because of the "culture" of the people and medical care. I prefer France by a huge margin but the language barrier is an issue with my brain fog, all I will remember is my "bedroom" French from the Bordellos I used to visit

Anyway, I was once the big & strong type but now you can hear me cussin & *****in for a mile before ya see me! Thank God for my wife Trish. Still unspoiled and NEVER complains after all her battles and over 35 surgeries now for her. She inspires me to continue fighting my wars for a more noble purpose. To simply live up to HER example of living with problems while maintaining a digity like I never saw before. She is such a SWEETIE and even I couldn't break HER!

Before you make a reply to that Mike, we aren't ready to give up on you yet.

Don't even think about Heaven .

I have a friend in France that had to leave his country to be treated for Lyme. He hates the medical profession over there.

I'll let Girlie and the others weigh in on Canada's medical shortcomings.

I do know of a Canadian Dr. that was imprisoned for refusing to cease and desist his cb oil set up and they refused to consider his lengthy notes and reports on the cancer sufferers he healed with it, including his own Father that had been given up on and was dismissed as too far gone.

We supposedly have the best medical care in the world in the U.S.
