If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

I did write another manufacturer/marketer prior to you posing this information. I have not received a response yet. Don't think I will until next week if at all. However, based on the information you posted, it doesn't seem promising. The only thing, however, is that I am somewhat lax about starch when it comes to supplements. I am not necessarily NSD but am closer to it than LSD. The real test would be to try it and find out if it bothers me or not (it may have starch, but that information did not indicate how much starch was present I don't think).
Kind Regards,
Jay

Good recommendation. I totally overlooked that. I used to do a nice carrot, apple, beet combination.
Doing that intermittently does not help a whole lot. It is another reason to pull out the juicer on a daily basis. Interestingly, I just watched a video of a doctor who used diet to overcome the type of debilitating MS she suffered. She had been to one of the most prestigious medical centers in the U.S., some of the 'best' doctors, some of the most recent, promising drugs and she kept progressing for the worse. All they could do was try to keep her comfortable (e.g. zero gravity chair) in the life that she had. A real eye opener on the futility of the medical industrial complex. She designed her own diet, largely centered around vegetables (hence the need for me to juice frequently), and realized some amazing results. Most inspiring.
Kind Regards,
Jay

Right, just because it contains starch doesn't mean it is very starchy like a root. If you are not highly sensitive to starch, the benefit may outweigh the drawbacks.

Does anyone know if stinging nettle leaf, not the root, is starchy? It is supposed to help purify the blood helping with anemia. I need to get my iron levels up and oral iron is not cutting it. I constantly go back and forth with my hemoglobin being a little bit low and being low normal. My doctor advised large amounts of iron which I am hesitant to do given past extremely elevated readings. Also, I don't think that is the true issue.
Thanks. I had a lot of problems with anemia over the years as well. Nothing I tried helped including Stinging nettle leaf. I did the liquid drops. Tincture I believe it is called. No help. For me the anemia went away when I went on the TNF drug. SImponi immediately returned my red blood cell levels to normal. Doc thinks it is a sign of underlying inflammation, the anemia that is.
No families take so little medicine as those of doctors, except those of apothecaries.

When they're in season, we pick bags of Stinging Nettles. I haven't tested them, but I haven't had any problems. They're delicious steamed, or added to a stir-fry.
