my dose 5 Tabs of 500 mg Sulfasalazine daily

2 after good breakfast with half litre of luke-warm milk having Honey 2 spoons

--------------------

I take 100 mg. B-Complex daily along with my multi and extra Folic Acid, C and I still take some E even though i know the jury on that one. I also take Flax Oil and use a lo of flax seeed.

We can harldy eath "not healthy" any moe. i avoid Echinacea like the plague alon with bean spouts. Anything known to activate the immune system is a big no-no.

Blessings.

so whats the best way to consume fresh root ginger ?
how to eat it?
is it safe to take while on salazopyrin and steroids?

Wll there are a few ways, make a tea, add to food ( chinese)or candied. I supposed you could just eat it but it is a very tough root so at least it would have to be cooked and it would be pretty hot too . I just drink the tea it is so easy ...

Hi Petra,

It is safe. I keep it in the fridge grated and covered with honey. We like a spoonful in our hot green tea. Sometimes we had Pomegrante to it. I also keep candied ginger to nibble on if I want something sweet. Might as well get a little ginger also.

I have been wondering about you since I hadn't had a PM in a while.

Take care.
