appetite stimulants?
Comments (44)My husband stopped taking Levaquin a week ago and hasn't had an appetite since. He's been in the ER twice this week for treatment of nausea and/or vomiting. He saw an acupuncturist, who treated him w/ needles once, and gave him herbs, but the herbs nauseate him. Food nauseates him. Smells nauseate him. He thinks he'll never be able to eat again. I can't offer him anything because the thought of food nauseates him. When he thinks about tea or even water, he gets nauseated. He just took Zofran (ondansetrol, an anti-nauseant for heavy-duty nausea, as in cancer chemotherapy, e.g.). We'll see what happens. Compazine tabs and Phenergan suppositories haven't really helped, or help only during the day, not at night when he lies down. I think half the problem is emotional. He's used to being very active and healthy, and now he's without energy and feeks cold all the time - that's another thing, in the past, eating turned him into a furnace, and now that he isn't eating, he's cold. He's almost at the end of his rope, and I can't see that there's anything I can do. I read through all the posts and I don't see anything in them that addresses this situation. It is unlikely, but possible, he still has an infection, as he never finished the course of antibiotics, and that a lingering or even spreading infection is contributing to this, but he doesn't have any obvious signs of infectin. He sees the doctor on Tuesday. The doctor should be able to determine if infection is still a problem. Wish I could slip him an anti-anxiety drug/herb to get his mind off this; I think a lot of it is emotional; he hasn't lost any weight, although he looks thinner to me, and is moving like an old man; he's only 66. He is very thin anyway and is normally highly energetic, but not now. He will try things other people suggest, but what I suggest....See MoreComplete novice seeks help and advice
Comments (16)looks like nice parkland! are those fruit trees or just ornamental? by the way, some growers from thailand ship internationally - it all depends on agro import rules where you are and how fast the plants can ship so as not to die! may be better selection/shipping from australia? rainy Hilo on big island in hawaii /carribbean/thai/philippines/aussi tropics - would be similar to your area somewhat. there are subsets of garden web for australia/europe/etc i'll poke around to find some links for seed/fruit shippers in asia. i like learning and reading about tropical anything :). by the way you should have some incredible alocasia/colocasias (elephant ears) locally - are you familiar at all with them? colocasias are edible. prime example is taro - traditional hawaiian crop. not that i like it myself. but there are various kinds of very tasty tropical sweet potatoes that you might grow instead: yams, batatas, boniatos (cuban white sweet potato). also you should be able to grow monstera deliciosa - it produces an edible large fruit (cousin of swiss cheese houseplant). peas like it cool, but some beans can def take hot/humid like lima beans and some you can eat fresh from the pod. and all are available as seeds. e.g. from australia but shipping only locally - see tropical beans at the end. http://www.greenharvest.com.au/SeedOrganic/VegetableSeeds/Beans.html it's worth looking into indian stuff (which i know very little about, except i can see it in the freezer in the supermarket!). they grow all sorts of beans/long squashes in the steamy south. oh, you might be able to get some seeds/info/sites thru UK on that! found what i think is a good place in philippines (at list to start looking, not sure about international shipping) - info on fruit trees.ships nursery trees. http://www.dizonexoticfruittrees.com/index2.htm it was referenced last year - Q on shipping/visting with recommendation on http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=3111.0 seems to be a very active and useful forum too! here some useful links info/growing hawaii/fl/china http://www.lycheesonline.com/links.cfm this is Caribbean puerto rican site(us territory): they ship internationally. even just getting familiar with names can take time:) http://www.montosogardens.com/tropical_fruit_trees.htm...See MoreCalamondin...anyone have experience with them?
Comments (14)I have many Calamondin trees. To me they are beautiful and are the least trouble compared to my other citrus trees. The trees can be kept small and still produce a good amount of fruit. Looks good in the house on a table. They usually are flowering and fruiting most of the year. I never not have a calamondin to pick. Yes, the fruit is very tart, and not many want to eat it out of hand, but I do - peel and all. The peel is edible and is sweet so I usually tell people to eat it that way (watch out for seeds though!). I often think of calamondins more like an orange key lime than just an orange, and use the fruit as I would a lime or lemon - in drinks, desserts and cooking. I like eating them whole too. Wakes my mouth up real good....See MoreCan we talk Mojo? Sauce, that is.
Comments (6)Sorry. I'd have a much easier time explaining Quantum Physics, than my delay. Mojo (Mo-ho) is Cuba's national sauce. And while there are some variations, this Citrus /Garlic sauce mainly consists of naranja agria (sour orange), lots of garlic, ground cumin and olive oil (although Mojo is traditionally made with lard). Some people include hot peppers to this sauce, such as Scotch bonnets, a cousin to the Habanero, but these are very hot peppers, and unlike Mexican cooking, Cuban cuisine eschews heat, focusing instead on myriad of spices for most of its dishes. Btw, I use Mojos to marinate chicken, steak, pork, over Yuca and most root vegetables - I also serve it with Cuban sandwiches, and fried plantain chips a.k.a. Mariquitas. Mojo Criollo 1/2 cup olive oil 6 to 8 garlic cloves 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/2 cup Seville orange juice, or substitute 1/2 cup of combined sweet orange, lemon and lime juices 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted 1 teaspoon Sherry vinegar, optional Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Using a mortar and pestle, or food processor, mash the garlic, salt and toasted cumin seeds to form a thick, but fairly smooth paste. Combine garlic paste, Sherry vinegar, if using, and the citrus juices, set aside for about 30 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, until just hot. Add the garlic mixture (it will splatter), stir well. Season with black pepper. Allow to cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes. Refrigerated, this sauce will keep for several weeks.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoI planted my seeds about three years ago. I underestimated the size. The one in the picture is about 2.5 feet tall from bottom of pot to top? Currently, they are in one gallon sized pots and due to be potted up in the Spring. If a project for your daughters, it may help teach them patience and responsibility. It has not flowered yet.
Actually, I just planted some more in a community pot. Good luck!

8 years agoYour trees have the potential to grow much bigger and faster. I planted sweetlee tangerine seeds 3 years ago. The results.
4 months old and out for the summer
sweethee#3 · More InfoIn for fall in aluminum foil lined bucket lights.
bucket light and grow boxes · More InfoOut grew buckets and into the grow box. I grew beet greens to warm the floor of the citrus level to 80F to promote root growth.
bucket light and grow boxes · More Info1 year old tree gets fresh air sucked through its root to fresh up the oxygen and prevent root rotting slug forming in the bottom of the container.
Sweetlee #4 · More Infooutside in the greenhouse here in Cincinnati micro zone 6b.
sweethee#3 · More Info2.6 year old tree provided rootstock and grafting scion material. The first 3 feet of trunk will be grafted with New Zealand lemonade buds and the sweetlee mature twigs are currently grafting to Kuharske Citrange and rooting for own roots trees.
Give your tree lots of light, feed it well, followed up with root growing room.
