Peanuts

[bhanson]

We went to a new accupunturist from China and she gave us this recipe that they use in China for MDS. I thought I would post it just to give us another option. In China, they use this to boost all the numbers affected by MDS:

Tea

1 lb. unsalted raw peanuts in shell (I order mine from the internet)

Remove shell and peanut, but SAVE the red peanut peels, the peanut paper.

Put peels in pan with 5 cups of water. Gently boil 1 hour. Drink 1/3 cup a day. Ieep refriderated. Continue for 2 months.

I know this sounds wierd, but I also know of a place in San Francisco that is selling peanut milk and it is helping all kinds of people. You can’t get it here yet, I don’t think. The address is:

We are going to try it. The pineapple and seasame seeds and noni are going fine. We are seeing some increase in the platelets from 49 to 58, thanks to you all. We will keep you posted on results. Best regards, Bernard and Bonnie

one of the doctors of Chinese Medicine here in Oregon suggested that I get the peanut skins from a company that tmakes peanut butter or process peanuts in other ways. Couldn’t find them but used other natural methods suggested by another doctor of OM/acupunturist/naturapathic physician.

Great idea. I did find a place with Virginia raw peanuts already shelled, but you have to skin em!! I’ll try anything. Thanks for the idea. Bonnie

My Dad has MDS and had done stem cell transplants. During his stay in the hospital, we were told by a well intentioned nurse that some drink peanut soup to boost platelet counts. I do not have the proper recipe but it is a chinese style clear soup where peanuts are doubled boiled with pork ribs (think peanuts’ shells included). We have it at least once a week before my Dad visits his consultant. UNSURE IF THE SOUP REALLY WORKS but his platelet counts have held steady so far.
