P.S.  The acupuncturist said "low Qi and low blood".  She only used my
right hand for the pulses which I thought was a little strange.  She
said that my pulse was "thready".  I have been wondering lately if my
kidney yin deficiency is resulting from gluten intolerance.  That can
supposedly damage the kidneys.  Casein peptides also collect in the
kidneys, but I don't know what they do there.  I believe in the vitality
of raw foods unless the fiber aggravates the gut.  I have been eating
some cooked squash lately.  Mary
