Blood and Wine

Summary: Overall not too bad a week and have decided to have the cytology test, although I am waiting on a few issues. See Cytology Option.

Well the twinges are pretty evident most days yet its not so cold, so maybe that was due to the Chinese herbs. -:- 12:46 Will collect more 'Cleavers' today. -:- 20:24 Used, the cleaver leaves only, as a vegetable this evening; the stems are too tough. Maybe they are ok when the plant is much younger, in April or early May? Not feeling the best

26th May Ate the rest of last nights meal with some cleavers and three cups of tea. Tea is drinkable, made form fresh herb. Feeling a bit offish still but e wee bit better maybe.

27th May 20:04 Feeling ok-ish, not very energetic and bladder feels a bit cold. Will be drinking more cleavers tea this evening. Have spent a lot of time researching the active pharmacological constituents of cleavers, but haven't acquired a sense of soundness.

28th May 17:16 Got tired a few hours a go and got some sleep, not feeling quite right. However I did another pee test which seems OK. However the pH is unusually alkaline or rather, 'neutral'. The tiredness maybe due to eating two and half bowls of veggies, potatoes, onions, leaks, kale and some leave of comfrey, greater yellow cress (Rorippa amphibia) and cleavers.

30th May 09:02 This morning's pee reading maybe a bit high as I ate a packet of biscuits before going to bed and drank nothing so their was only a small amount of concentrated pee. Of course this is always a problem but as there shouldn't be any blood the result doesn't matter that much. The issue is whether flushing the bladder is good or strong whether strong pee would be an enemy or helper of any possible tumours. -:- 09:17 However I'm feeling better right now, maybe that's because I've eaten some chocolate and look forward to the a strict regime of 'RenShen Jian Pi Wan' -:- Over the last 6 minutes I have gone from feeling very positive and feeling ok about having the cytology, to not so. Things rapidly change and I am learning to feel my way through them. Speaking to Vyaj is going to be a defining issue. -:- 12:40 Spoke to Vyaj so that's good. 'RenShen Jian Pi Wan' went down ok.

31ST May 09:02 Had a pee and cup of cleavers tea before the dawn, so its not so surprising that at 7O'clock there was 290ml of pale yellow, not very acid pee that had no haem count. May only take the RenShen Jian Pi Wan twice a day. -:- Emailed Dr McCormick:- See Cytology Option
