As a matter of fact, I have used Dong Quai and have about 1/2lb of it,

(coincidence)

Peony root, thats a new one for me I'll try it with the Dong Quai..I
always decoctions or infusions as it is easier but I would use a
tincture Paleo or not, can't see that it would be that big of a paleo
deal (LOL)

What is the difference? Paleo is "low carb" isn't it. That is what I
eat Protien and veggies.

What do you cheat with LOL And Why?

That's a good Idea! I'll give it a go!

I tend to shy away from anything from a pharmacy, Mother nature always
does it better..

I eat meat once or twice a day....not that much, I don't think...

I don't know..how do you find out? I know I have read on the list a
little bit about that but I would be interested in a place to read up on
it...it could very well be. I'm real thin, not much body weight, I eat
as much fat as I can, and a lot of nuts and dried fruit as I can to try
toput on some weight but to no avail. Any sugestions about that?
