Thanks, RR! I go to an acupuncturist and yes, have studied some TCM. I didn't know that about the pancreas and spleen, though; should help with the blood sugar getting low, too, I should think, then.
I did check the sodium on the seeds I get. They are pretty low, about 5% of the RDA, plus I don't use salt on anything else, so I am pretty careful.
I keep thinking I will get back into garlic, again, too, but it just doesn't *feel* right for me right now, despite all of its great properties. Have always done deep breathing which drives the docs nuts. They can't figure out how I can be on O2 for a leaky valve and still be able to draw and hold such deep breaths! It's pretty funny when they get out their meters and start measuring. Last time the gal kept saying "okay, you can breath out now" and I wasn't done breathing in!
Allandarlin'...very phunny!*bg*
Me, too, MMariosweetie...reminds me of that Kliban cat song:
Love to eat them pepitas Pepitas what I love to eat Bite they tiny heads off Nibble on they tiny feet
