OH, P.S. I don't use anything that is black in the tops...or any tops infested with worms or aphids ( I grow organically / don't spray pesticides.....so I do get other things (critters) on some of my plants! Plant one for the bugs or maybe three and one for yourself??? Happy Thanksgiving to you all Aunt Bean

Just made my second batch of papaya (fermented & dryed) This batch is nicer and more potent I think. Three cups of mashed ripe papaya fruit (without skin & seeds) added a generous amount of cinnamon and turmeric *next time I will measure, I promise. Put into a glass container with plastic wrap tightly over the surface of mix and another over the top of the container to keep out air. Let it sit for 6 days this time. Mixture was more thickened than first batch. Then added 3 teaspoons of finely ground flax seed and stirred in well. Let stand about 5 minutes. Stir again. Flax made the mix more thickened. Then dropped in small blobs on unbleached parchment on dehydrator sheets. This dryed nicely and was more like fruit leather (rubery consistancy..beautiful/ storable) The main thing I have noticed is an improvement in my eyes..things not as blurry without glasses, better night time vision. I am going to try taking alittle more at a time and see what happens.....will report back......Hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving Aunt Bean

Well, you all...my hopes are up. The person that has a relative who is in research is taking my fava research & info about my "non-clinical trial" with the tincture next week to show her. Pray with me that she will be the one to take on the research so that maybe someday it will be available to everybody out there who might benefit from the tincture like I have. It was really cold this morning and the beans have keeled over finally, but if is like last year....and we have a couple warm weeks, they will emerge from the roots again. Still haven't gotten the greenhouse moved....lots of work to be done to be able to do it (cutting apart welding on pipes, etc) Papaya working well and I am looking more into the fermenting processes to maybe add other foods to try.
Hope you are surviving the holiday rush and taking time to just breathe and rest some Blessings from Aunt Bean |

Have any of you ever heard of Parkinsons of the throat? I am taking square dance lessons. The caller/ instructor has this throat trouble and says that it is hereditary (many people in his family have been diagnosed with it) Doctors have told him that he is a canidate for trying botox injections in his throat. Last visit, he told the doctors about the fava top tincture. The doctor actually knew about the bean ....he told him , Try it....if it works, great. He is scheduled to go in for botox in Jan or Feb . I gave him a very small amount to test....we shall see if it helps ! It sure helps with my voice & singing

I think I found him in Trinidad, California. He's mentioned in this blog (below) so maybe you can contact him through the blog. Good luck! http://trinidadartgallery.blogspot.com/ jean

Thanks..I looked up the sight for the person in California and it looks like an art gallery....so if it is the same person He or She is an artist too. I did have time to go back to the library and write the parkinson's support group inc. that the article was under...asking if they could put us in touch with each other. Haven't heard back yet from them. Two people in the last two days said that I should write to Michael J Fox to see if his organization could connect me with a researcher. What do you all think about his organization, I know nothing about it. The friend going to Florida said his relative is only interested in pursuing cures for Alzheimers at this time...so that fell thru. Very disappointiing. But, the right person is out there somewhere....God will put us together at the right time....To everything...there is a season!!! I must be patient. God Bless!
