Quack grass contains polysaccharides including triticin, a volatile oil including agropyrene, with mucilage and other nutrients. It’s been used medicinally since about 25 AD. For what purpose you may ask? Believe it or not, quack grass played a role at increasing urine production, and treating urinary tract infections such as cystitis and urethritis. It was even said to relieve and partially dissolve kidney stones and treat an enlarged prostate. Fresh juice was used for liver problems such as jaundice.

During wars and hard times, roasted barley and beet root were a common coffee replacement. Not to be outdone, pale yellowish-white quack grass roots called rhizomes were roasted and ground as a coffee substitute and eaten during times of famine.

Various quack grass home remedies have been tried in Europe and shown to contain antibacterial properties.

thousands of other children developed kidney stones

The Hong Kong English-language paper quoted Zhao as saying that the force-feeding was a painful reminder to him of how his own son and thousands of other children developed kidney stones after drinking mainland-produced formula laced with the industrial chemical melamine in 2008.

Zhao gave the interview in March to be published if he were taken into custody again.

However, he gave permission for it to be released after he joined the growing number of concerned supporters of detained artist and dissident Ai Weiwei.

Zhao’s son was one of about 300,000 children affected, six of whom died, after consuming milk powder tainted with melamine, which had been added to boost protein levels. The scandal came to light in 2008.

He was arrested in November 2009 after trying to organize petitions and protests and help parents make compensation claims against the company behind the scandal.

In November, he was sentenced to two and half years for ‘creating a disturbance’ but released in December on medical parole.

In the interview with the Post, he described how he was kept in an empty hospital ward for 18 months and how in November he had gone on hunger strike to protest his sentence.

‘They used mainland-produced milk during the first force-feeding,’ he said. ‘I threw up for half an hour.’

The staff switched to imported formula milk after Zhao threatened to resist being force-fed through his nose, he said.

On Wednesday, Zhao posted messages on his Twitter account about Ai and spoke to Radio Free Asia, calling for his release.

while driving herself to Kaiser in Oakland to have a kidney stone blasted

When I see a disabled vehicle on the side of the road, I always get the shivers. There sits the most luckless person on the planet. They may be stuck for hours, even days. Appointments blown. Groceries melting. Will they succumb before help arrives?

I’ve had remarkably good luck with car meltdowns. Once when my engine conked out, I was able to glide into a repair shop. This freaky wonderful event happened in Athens, Greece.

Another time my engine started smoking, but I managed to maneuver into a service station in rural Alabama. A mess of wires had melted, but I’d found a safe harbor.

On another memorable occasion, my engine overheated as I drove to a dinner theater event in Benicia. I found a gas station just before closing and was soon back on the road. I missed only soup.

My worst breakdown ever: my VW Bug blew an engine on the First Street overpass. This happened so close to home and help, I hardly missed a beat.

Cheryl’s car traumas have been worse. Once, while driving herself to Kaiser in Oakland to have a kidney stone blasted, her engine started steaming on Interstate 80.

Her dad, who was riding shotgun, was no help. As family legend tells it, he yelled, “We’re screwed” multiple times.

He didn’t appreciate Cheryl’s resourcefulness. She pulled to the side of the freeway and fished out a gallon of water from the trunk. They made it to Kaiser with a few ounces to spare.

As for Jenny’s plight, a day passed without a word. Which was a good thing, right? If she weren’t OK, wouldn’t I have heard?

Then again. …

Finally I texted her: What’s up?

Car in shop, problem unknown, she texted back.

This was reassuring. Jenny was alive even if her car wasn’t.

I got the complete story in a phone call two days later. The AAA guy towed her to a supposedly reliable repair shop a mile away. It was almost 8 at night, but the place was still open. The owner, a middle-aged man, apparently treated her honestly.

The bill came to $165. He even gave her a 10-mile ride back to her apartment, Jenny said.

The mechanic gave you a ride home? A total stranger?

Yes, it was an awkward situation, she said. She was fully prepared to end up in a burlap sack, dumped in a slough.

possibly kidney stones can occur as well.

“Studies have shown that vitamin C may reduce the odds of getting a cold, but only in specific groups in extreme circumstances, such as soldiers in subarctic environments, skiers and marathon runners,” Griffin said. “Studies have not found solid evidence that vitamin C helps prevent or treat colds in average people.”

When the vitamin C intake goes above 200 milligrams a day, Weems and Bostwick said the body doesn’t absorb the extra amounts, but rather excretes it.

Weems said the effects of an extremely high amount of vitamin C cause toxic problems in the body.

“When you get way too much, like 2000 up to 5000 a day for a long period of time, the body gets really lost on how it absorbs it,” Weems said. “Sometimes they’ll pick up flu-like symptoms, the very symptoms they’re trying to treat.”

In hopes of preventing a cold or the flu, many individuals bring symptoms upon themselves.

Not only are flu-like symptoms possible, but Bostwick said diarrhea, abdominal bloating and possibly kidney stones can occur as well.

The best way to get the recommended daily amount of vitamin C is to eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day.

Weems said people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables each day.

“Children and young adults will tend to not get enough fruit or vegetables in their diet,” Weems said. “They would be the ones most at risk unless they happen to be adding a lemon to their tea or they add a fruit jelly to their sandwich.”

Simple additions of fruits and vegetables to the diet can increase the amount of vitamins the body needs without overdosing, a complication which is more likely with vitamin supplements because of the high intake amount from one supplement.

Weems said vitamin C supplements can have as much as 1000 to 2000 milligrams — more than one person needs.

an operation to remove a kidney stone

Carmel Bloom, who was 54 and lived in Snakes Lane East in Woodford Green, died following an operation to remove a kidney stone at the BUPA (now Spire) Roding Hospital in 2002.

Her brother Bernard, of High Road, Chigwell, has spent the last nine years and more than a million pounds trying to establish how she died.

Lee Scott, MP for Carmel’s constituency of Ilford North, has secured a debate on the circumstances surrounding her death at 1pm today (March 29) in Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament, in the hope it will lead to an investigation.

He will put a series of questions to a minister from the department of health before any other interested MP can contribute to the debate.

Mr Scott said: “I’m delighted that this debate has been given a slot so quickly.

“It’s difficult to get a debate on something so specific like this, as they’re usually reserved for things like healthcare across an entire region or something like that.”

Last month Mr Bloom met assistant attorney-general Kevin McGinty to request a fifth inquest into his sister’s death, raising the prospect of having her body exhumed.

Mr Bloom, of High Road, Chigwell, said: “It’s obviously going to raise the profile of the case and give it even more publicity.
