Hi all~

I was talking to my LLMD yesterday. He is currently reading a book, "The Rhodiola Revolution" written by a colleague of Dr. F's at Columbia.

Apparently, this doctor's wife had lyme, and this herb helped her to beat it.

I've ordered the book, and bought the herb....anyone ever heard of it or taken it??

Do a search here. I think someone mentioned it not long ago.

Thanks, Lymetoo, I did look up a few past posts.

I should mention that this doctor did speak at the last ILADS conference on CAM (complementary alternative medicine). He believes strongly in a certain kind of yoga as well (too tired to look at my notes at the moment to tell you which kind.)

Hi Lymetoo~ OK...so before my nap I looked up the type of yoga....just for you...so feel honored, ok? [Wink]

Sudarshan Kriya Yoga.

He also talked at length about Ujjayi breathing.

He also mentioned an Art of Living Course. I "think" if you google that you can come up with someone who teaches it near you.

All interesting stuff, but the rhodiola was of most interest to me, for my LLMD seemed somewhat impressed by the book, and he isn't one to get impressed easily.

And I need something else besides antibiotics to help me for I STILL have C. diff. [toilet]

Naptime for me now... [sleepy]

I dont know, but could this be red root? It looks like it could "translate" into something like red root, and I have heard JimBob and others rave about red root. I dont know about it myself. Just a thought.

Ujjiaya breathing as I was taught it is the deep tummy breathing that you practice when meditatng and during yoga done with a slight gutteral sound on exhale. Just a slight noise so that you can hear your own breath and acknowledge your own life force. Long deep self loving breaths. Not to be confused with other types of breathing that constrict and force air thru your lungs or throat.
good beginning website:
http://yoga.about.com/od/breathing/a/ujjayi.htm

I am not familiar with that type of yoga, but pubmed has several articles claiming it can lift clinical depression. True east meets west there I'd say----pubmed articles about yoga. [Big Grin]

Re rhodiola. I did try it when I first saw my LLMD 2 years ago - she recommended it. I also read the book which to me, seemed entirely credible. Unfortunately, it gave me a headache and I couldn't tolerate it. Is that herxing? I don't know. I'm sensitive to just about anything. I would even try and empty out 1/2 or most of all the capsule. I still couldn't tolerate it.

My son who is 13 was 'prescribed' this by his ll psyche to give him some energy - she said that it was like having a few cups of coffee without the jittery feeling.

He ended up taking something else (for a reason i forget) but the research i did at the time, it looked like it was worth a shot for that.
