my beloved and magical acupuncturist/rolfer/yoga coach/nutritional coach (unnamed because she isn't taking any new clients) recommended taking a supplement called "stone free" after having had a kidney stone.
apparently the chances are, if you have one, you'll have more. i certainly did NOT enjoy the experience! it was very painful. i visualize them dissolving.
you can get stone free at whole foods and other stores with good supplements like people's pharmacy.
patrice also recommended eating kidney, aduki, and black beans, ume paste and vinegar, and lots of greens. shiitake mushrooms, black fungus (wood ear mushrooms), and "all the healing shrooms" (in patrice's words) are also kidney strengtheners. and did i say lots of greens? lots of greens!

If we can find some chard in Maui, we'll fix "charred chard" for you. We learned it from a macrobiotic chef. I usually don't like greens, but this way of preparing them masks any bitterness but retains all the green goodness!
ReplyDeletei've never had charred chard, so i'm looking forward to this. just planted chard in my fall garden yesterday--new recipes for it are welcome!
