Don't mist the plant at all. It does nothing....but could lead to potential trouble. I find that too much Neem will "suffocate" the leaves and they won't transpirate as well. In the past, I've had to hand wash the leaves with water and lemon juice to cut the Neem. When did you add the MG? And how long is the MG intended to last? With that information, you should be able to get a rough estimate of how much/how potent the remaining MG still is. Either way, the yellowing would seem to indicate a nutrient issue. My Meyer looks similar, too...always hungry. Josh

1 spot each per leaflet makes for a tough diagnosis. please post an image of the entire plant

I believe it is a myth that too much protein intake causes bone loss - this summarizes the point: Gabe Mirkin, M.D.: Studies done many years ago suggested that eating a lot of protein increases calcium loss in the urine and therefore it was thought that eating protein weakens bones by taking calcium out of them. However, recent studies show that eating protein increases calcium absorption so the extra calcium in the urine comes from increased absorption, not from being take out of bones. Reports in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Volume 78, Issue 3, 2003) show that eating plenty of protein and lots of foods from plants helps to keep bones strong. Most scientists now feel that a very low-protein diet can cause osteoporosis, while a moderately high-protein diet may help to prevent it.

I had to use a cloth tape measure & go to thickest part of calf & check to see how much fluid she had collected. If over 1 1/2 in. gain I think I had to give her little more diuretic. Potassium ( stuff used in place of salt- Mrs. Dash -can be dangerous as easy to get too much) Body has to have a balance of sodium, calcium, magnesium & potassium- that's what keeps the cells of body working properly. I keep the charts on my fridge just like I did at mom's she was much more prone to imbalances than dad was. Better to try to keep your mom away from French fries, popcorn & things that seem like they have to have salt to be palatable. I air popped corn & used a little "I can't believe it's not butter" it makes it a little soggy but at least it had a buttery taste tho I think I finally found a bagged popcorn(like in the potato chip aisle) that was either no sodium or low sodium. Friend has AF & normal BP ,was hospitalized several times & told dr. she wished she could do something to avoid all those trips to hospital, he said have some salted nuts on hand & take some. It works for her. She also has to try to do something pleasant & be careful for awhile but so far it's working for several months. Mom liked fresh fruit so I bought blueberries, raspberries, strawberries & she had a mix of them along with oatmeal or fruit & 1 piece of toast(low sodium raisin bread was a favorite) or 1 small sodium reduced pancake with 1 slice no nitrate low sodium bacon (Whole Foods brand) or 1 egg on 1 slice buttered toast. Dad would sometimes have a low sodium cold breakfast food as he didn't want oatmeal as often as mom. But you can see that that was a pretty good breakfast finished off with 4 oz calcium OJ & about 1/2 cup coffee. Mom always had a salad & small amount of something at night. Drove me crazy, no lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes, red & green bell pepper, avocado, zucchini slices, cucumber slices & all fresh & most from my garden with Ken's honey mustard as tasted good & lower sodium than most. Dad liked mix of little mayo with no sodium Ketchup with little low fat milk,(French dressing is pretty much what it tastes like) Make up 8 oz margarine tub of this & keep if fridge with date on top. I made up casseroles that could be reheated easily ,soups & chili(chicken or beef) with Whole foods kidney beans, garbanzos, & pinto beans-all come with no sodium added & some brands of tomatoes come almost no sodium,35 mg or less per serving so you can find things but it took me a lot of time searching these things out. Kraft's can have a delicious Ranch dressing at hospital in packets for patients salads but do you think they could have it at grocery stores, no all their stuff is very high sodium. I want little over 100 not over 150 mg sodium as too easy to get several tbls on salad. Krogers has a nice honey mustard 20 mg sodium to spread on a sandwich & great with cooked chicken breast for a nice sandwich. Lot of things you can fix. Suppose I should write a cookbook. Too many other things but hope you get the idea. I cook up 2-3 lbs chicken breast(hate knives & cutting up chicken) so I pay for skinless boneless chicken breast, cut them in 2 so thinner, melt 1 cube real butter, 2 qts water, onion sliced or onion powder, cut up carrots, celery & little black pepper & cook until 1/2 done & throw in some parsley, (some other salt free seasoning if you like) finish cooking & remove chicken, figure out what yu need for a sandwich or 2 & put in sandwich bag & slip these into marked ziplock bag date, mark chicken for sandwiches) & freeze save out some of chicken to make delicious chicken soup. Buy a bag of mixed veggies from freezer section & dump into the remaining stock, I like about another lb of carrots & celery & sometime add, barley(not too much)pasta, potatoes, can of low sodium diced tomatoes, Zucchini or whatever. simmer until done. Put in 1 cup containers or larger. I loved the round margarine tubs & could just heat in microwave with lib ajar for about 3 1/2 minutes. Could put in pan but don't know that that is safe for your mom, & cook until heated through. So some "food for thought" Hope it gives you ideas!
