In the case of women, do the ginger compress on the abdomen 2x a week.
In addition, a home remedy called the Daikon Bath (which is called the
universal home remedy for all female organ conditions) should be done
2x a week while doing the 2 ginger compresses a week (See Articles
Section, also Macrobiotic Blogs): The treatment regimen
being a total of 32 ginger compresses and 32 Daikon Baths over a
period of16-20 weeks. These treatments are absolutely to no avail
if they are not also accompanied by a change to a macrobiotic dietary
practice. (Vegetables in season, and grains appropriate to the season.
No nightshades or tropical fruits. No dairy or saturated fats.)
(Dorcas)
If you are menstruating during your schedule of compresses and baths,
finish with your flowing and resume your bath schedule again
with the 2 and 2.
If you are
cramping, you might enjoy the warmth of the ginger compress for relief.
Or just fill your hot water bottle, go to bed and rest. Your body is
needing nurturing as it is discharging the accumulated monthly waste.
ITEMS NEEDED;
One gallon container with a lid. This container is to be used for the
healing work you will be doing. You can use this to make your water
for your compresses too (this information is given on Dr. Bursell's site as well...
That container
is best an enameled steel pot. No cast iron, stainless steel or aluminum.
With each use, it is only necessary to rinse it with plain water and wipe it dry.
No need to scrub off the stains that will accumulate.
Do not use special cleansers to remove stains. You will not be
cooking food in this pot. It is strictly for preparing your solutions for healing.
The vibration from the leaves stays in the pot and is used for healing only.
(Dorcas) I have added to the list of recommended leaves to use from my own notes
and experiences of their uses).
The following can be used for the hip bath:
Daikon Leaves
Turnip greens
Comfrey leaves
Dandelion Greens
arame sea vegetalbe
Chestnut leaves
mugwort
Oak Leaves
Pine Needles
(Dorcas)
You will need the leaves of what would have been on 4-5 fresh bunches of daikon
radish.
If you buy your leaves (all leaves...whether you buy or dry yourself) packaged,
you will need 4-5 oz.
Of the pine needles, you would need 3 oz x 4-5, or 12 to 15 oz. per bath;
of the arame sea vegetable, you would need 2 oz. x 4-5 or 8 - 10 per bath.
Of the Mugwort powder, you will need abut 4 oz or 16 -20 oz. per bath.
So for 2 baths a week, you need to double the amount. Then you need to
plan to buy enough for 2 baths a week x 16. For your diakon leaves,
check with Gary Mill at
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
for information.
If you should like to find sources for your own leaves to dry, it is
done by hanging them to dry in a place sheltered from direct sunlight
until the leaves turn crisp. Ask your store manager to save the leaves for you.
Arame is usually found in bulk in some coops or health food stores. I have used
the non-organic for my baths at times.
Dandelion greens can be foraged, washed and dried. The same with the
chestnut, oak leaves and pine needles. Perhaps one of your friends has
comfrey growing in his/her garden that you might be able to negotiate
for or buy. I have not foraged for mugwort, only bought the powder and the tea.
You will need salt: (Kaare)
One generous handful of any kind of seasalt or rock salt/ice cream salt.
(Dorcas) The grey salt is dirty so I would reserve its use for your other needs.
ITEMS TO PREPARE FOR BEFORE THE BATH:
For your bath, you can have ready for yourself a comfortably warm bathroom,
a granny nighty or pajamas, perhaps a cotton flannel one, a towel to use as a
shawl to keep you warm, if you would like, your robe and slippers. Also, a cool
cloth for your forehead is useful to keep your head cool. You can have the tub
ready to fill. Have a scarf by your pillow to put on your head to hold in your heat.
Have a cover that will keep your body heat up longer, because you might sweat,
which is want we are aiming for. The toxins that will be stirred up will exit the
skin after the bath.
You might need to get out your douche bag (see Douching).
INSTRUCTIONS: (Kaare)
Into ½ gallon of water, add the equivalent of 4-5 (4-5 ozs) bunches of the
dried leaves. Bring to a boil and turn down heat and simmer for half an hour.
Keep the water gently rolling. Then add the handful of salt, and turn off heat.
Meanwhile run a hot bath with a enough water to be level to your navel.
With the level this high, it should be enough to cover your body up to your
neck if you chose to lie down in the water.
(Dorcas)
I use an utility sink which is placed
inside the tub on 2 pieces of wood to allow the water to drain when I empty
the bath water. I fill it to the point that I can sit in it with the level of water
need to cover my navel. I used to do the whole body bath when my husband
was alive and would sit with me in case I fainted, because I am given to fainting
easily. But because, I am doing them without his help now, I use the sink and do
just a hip bath, with my feet in a tub of water and shroud myself with a towel
around my shoulders to keep warm and a cool cloth for my head. If I were to
faint, I would fall forward or to the side.
Strain the concoction so no leaves will be in your tub with the water.
The leaves are discarded. What you have prepared is a tea, so it will look like
a dark brown, muddy tea. Put all of the amount of the concoction you have
prepared into your filled tub.
Have the water as hot as you can stand and soak for 15-20 minutes.
While in the water, it is useful to massage the abdomen. Begin with the
left side above the pubic bone on the left side and do rotational, circular
movements always moving down toward the pubic bone. Continue up to the
splenic flexure, which is on the left, all the while massaging downward
toward the left side of pubic bone. Do more rotational massaging movements
across the transverse colon (across from the left ribs to the right side of the ribs).
Then massage back over to the left and down to left side at the pubic bone.
Then massage up from the right side of the pubic up to the ileocecal valve
continuing up toward the hepatic flexure on the right side and continue across
and down the left side to the pubic: This way, you will be aiding in the way the
waste leaves the body. Don't forget to exhale while doing the massaging.
You can massage and breathe at the same time :)
Now before you are ready to leave the tub, you can do what Cornelia
calls "finger douching"...that is to say, she never does the douching the
next morning as most instructions call for. Before she alights from the tub,
she uses her finger to clean the vagina about 10x's. (This is why I suggest
you not use the grey salt.) Dr. Bursell suggests the
umeboshi solution the following morning. Towel dry as rapidly as you can,
dress in pajamas or dressing gown, put a scarf on your head and go to bed.
Keep warm.
This bath is best done in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Here in AZ, it is too hot and
too yangizing for an already yang population and climate to do this treatment into
the middle of May until October, unless one resides in the high country. I have
used the bath into the warmer weather, but just do not use hot, hot water. I go
for the vibration of the remedy. And a bath is always useful, even if tepid in the
hot weather.
ACTIVITY OF THE DRIED LEAVES: (Kaare)
The result of the dried leaves and the salt energetically cuts through the
fatty, mucus deposits in the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and breasts
(even if you are not lying in the bath up to your neck), bladder and
bladder walls and dissolves the deposits. (Dorcas) Some of the dissolved mucoid
waste is discharged by way of the pelvic girdle orifices will be excreted in the
form, usually, of copious vaginal discharge.
The heat of the bath stimulates the overall blood and lymph circulation
so that when you get into bed well-covered, you will eventually begin
to sweat and in some cases, profusely.
Some women begin to sweat on the first occasion of doing the bath,
but usually it takes several weeks of the applications because most
women have lots of accumulated fat under the skin and this needs to
get dissolved first before real sweating can begin.
(Dorcas)
In the morning you can shower off. Also,
in the morning,
roll back your covers and let your bed air out so the perspiration
does not sour. It is best to change the sheets and put them back
on at the end of the day, so the mattress can air out. It is best to
use a fresh nightgown/pajamas for the bath the next night as well. This
bedclothing has taken up toxins from your body through the night and
as long as you are in the cleansing mode, it is best not to don the
clothing that has absorbed those poisons without washing them all.
Your skin will take up the poisons from the unwashed clothing making
it another job for your kidneys to handle while they are busy excreting
not only what they usually do via the skin but now with the speeding
up of the circulation with these modalities. That being the preferred
way to handle the bedding, the next way, is to open the windows
wider and let the fresh air in to dry the bedding.
Another idea is to hang the bedding
out in the sunshine so the sun can sanitize the bedding during the day and
reuse it again. I am hoping you will find the energy to change the sheets
and clothing for the rest of the week though after your 2 compresses and 2
baths.
(Kaare)
The resulting activity of the hip bath occurs, if and only if accompanied
by a change to a macrobiotic diet of cooked whole grains and vegetables
with the understanding of the proper use of salt and salt quality.
The benefits of the bath are as follows:
A cleansing and tonification of the female organs.
A thorough cleansing of the skin, including facial skin, which is
truly remarkable to see. A dissolving and melting away of fat
deposits everywhere in the body.
Therefore, it is used in all conditions of the breasts, ovaries,
fallopian tubes and uterus/vagina, for helping to lose weight,
and as a tremendous skin cleanser, WHEN DONE IN UNION
WITH THE DIET OF COOKED WHOLE GRAINS AND
VEGETABLES, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE NIGHTSHADES
AND FREE FLOWING OILS AND SATURATED FATS.
CAUTION:
Do not use the Hip Bath if you have any heart/or high blood pressure or
condition requiring medication. See a macrobiotic practioner for a
consultation so s/he can monitor your progress as you change from foods which
contributed to the intestinal stagnation to
the whole grains and vegetables.
S/he can offer you suggestions as to when it seems the right time then
to begin the hip bath regimen.
Men do not do the hip bath: They will follow other instructions
by doing the ginger compresses only (4x a week). See Articles or Macrobiotic
Blogs for Ginger Compress on Cybermacro.com.
It is best for the first 3 to 4 weeks of being the bath regimen to not
schedule any appointments for the day after doing the bath. You may tend to
feel somewhat tired and the body will benefit from the rest.
Your body is unloading waste from accumulations from food that
built unhealty tissue and from food that has stagnated along the route out.
(Kaare)
The cleansing of the female organs ie vaginal discharge and/or
symptoms similar to urinary tract infections ie burning and itching
and the urge to urinate frequently may occur; and sometimes fever will occur.
(Dorcas)
Your body is helping you to throw off the trapped poisons inside your tissue.
Dorcas) You might be tempted to go to the ER or your M. D., but if you
will just relax and let your
body work for you, you will pass through these phases.
(Do not take antibiotics as this will suppress all the action of what
you are wanting to do with the regimen and that is loosen up the
wastes to move out. Talk to the practioner about your concerns.)
DOUCHING: (Kaare)
When the abovementioned symptoms occur, make a douche as follows:
Place the flesh of 6-7
umeboshi plums in one quart of water and bring
to a boil.
Switch off the heat and let cool to body temperature. Then strain out
one cup and use to douche. The next day, reheat a cup of the water
until reaches body temperature and douche again of the strained liquid.
Repeat daily until the liquid is gone. Then add 3-4 new Umeboshi plums
to the ones you have already in the pot. Add one quart of water, bring to
boil and proceed as before. Do for 20 days, 1x a day. Save the pits.
(Dorcas)
I will tell you that if you notice an odoriferous smell that is familiar and
similar to an old menstrual pad, if you smell a fishiness about you, I would
suggest you douche with the umeboshi recipe during the time you are in a
cleansing mode with the baths/compresses . The strange odor will be a
sign of releasing of old waste from the tissues in the digestive- pelvic girdle.
The waste from the small intestine and large intestine cross contaminate the
digestive and reproductive organs. The smell coming off is something to
rejoice because your healing powers are indicating a sign that your
vibratory levels are raised enough to loosen up old matter. This old
proteinaceous discharge is better helped out further by the douching.
If the smell started before you started the cleansing program...oh well...
your body was working very hard to dump the waste and trying to
get your attention crying for help. Douching on a regular basis is not
suggested, but because you are in a focused cleansing mode, for the
short haul, the umeboshi douche is most useful.
GOOD SIGNS EVEN THOUGH DISCHARGING: (Kaare)
When you might have some discharge signs as mentioned above,
which can also include fever, don't be concerned about the discomforts
that will visit you as long as:
-You still feel as though you could still eat your next meal.
-You don't have nausea.
-Your energy is still up, even though you might feel the need for a little rest,
especially if your bowels unload in unusually way...ie feces that is watery,
black, greasy, stringy, hard ball like substances, ropes, or unusually mucous-like...
If a fever is evoked, you can use some tofu mixed up with some flour to
hold it together, put in a cheesecloth, and applied to your forehead to
cool you down more naturally...Do not put a tofu compress on your belly area...
-You still are able to sleep as you have been.
NON FOOD ITEMS TO AVOID: (Dorcas)
It is important that during your ginger compress and hip bath routine to not use
lotions on your skin, deodorants, shampoos that have ingredients you cannot
pronounce, including hair sprays, hair dryers, mousse's, perms, dyes, etc.
because the small intestine sends its effluvia up through the lungs and out
the little chimnies, the hair strands, to release the every day poisons when not
on a cleansing program on the one hand, and when in the planned cleansing mode,
these strands need to be clean from hair preparations/conditioners so the poisons
can exit easier. If you block the skin and hair, these poisons have to be handled by
the already over tired kidneys. These make the poison go deeper so consequently
more difficult to discharge if ever...
Skin brushing with a dry vegetable bristle brush will be useful to unload the skin
of its waste that will be evoked by the baths and compresses. You can find this
brush at the health food store for abour $8.00. Yerba Prima is a company
that makes them. I am hoping you will make skin brushing a part of your daily hygiene.
DISCHARGES: (Dorcas)
If skin discharges happen, or it seems every orifice in your body is letting go of unfamiliar
discharges, or a cradle cap- like scaling from your head down your brow into your eyebrows
happens, scaling in other parts of your body, etc., you are oozing between your toes,
having smelly discharge behind your ears and from your nose, just hang loose and be patient.
Don't run for an emergency room. You may want to consult with your counselor for
ideas to help ease discomforts. It means your body is strong enough to release its poisons
and if you are patient and rest and just let them BE so they can discharge in their own time,
you will be ready for a wonderful feeling of energy and clarity each time you pass through
whatever discharges are evoked from each cleansing...
After a 16 week regime of the ginger compresses and hip baths, 2 each a week,
you are ready for a 6 week rest...then after that week week period, you will be
ready to start again for 16 more weeks. Do this about for 3 rounds of 16 weeks
of 2 compresses and 2 baths a week. (For men their schedule is for 4 compresses
for 16 weeks). Then thereafter, work to do the 16 week routine 2 times a year for
the rest of your digesting days. If during the time after you have put into this project,
you can stay off the non-foods, your 2x a year routine will not only but a sustaining,
maintaining benefit, but a health building one.
If you feel weepy, irritable, fearful, depressed, anxious during this time, it might be
because you are releasing toxins from the organ systems, blood, brain/nervous system.
The blocked emotions that are related to those systems that got locked in, for instance,
perhaps due to some trauma, sickness whereby antibiotics were used which suppressed
the release of the poisons, are now taking the opportunity to move out too.
There is nothing wrong with you! You are on course and going for health in your emotions also.
You will be needing much patience. The Macrobiotic diet is about supporting
you and your spiritual path while your body heals itself. It is a time for journaling,
reflecting...finding someone who cares about how you feel so you can hear your own
words without advising, judging, humoring, diverting, lecturing etc. you so you can be
heard accurately to help you get some clarity. That person may have to be a professional.
Perhaps you might look to someone in your church family...some member in the family...
a support group...
There is a teaching called Hering's Law...which says that we heal from the head down
(emotionally), the inside out (inside us to the covering of us, our skin) and the order
of the maladies that came upon us.
So for instance, if as a child I were treated with drugs, say pneumonia (the order of
the malady that came upon us) and now am doing this cleansing. I may experience
some of the same signs I had when I had the sickness. I may feel emotionally the
same way as then. (Go back and check the list under Good Signs... and if you
are falling in that category, you are discharging and need time to let it pass through...)
This discharge is a good sign...it says your body has the energy to have its vibration
raised to the point that it can throw off those poisons. It may take several occasions
like this to unload the body.
If it is a problem like a tumor or cyst (inside-out), it will show its cleansing more and
more as the body unloads it waste from all the tissues in the body. It may present in
a way as rashes, flu like symptoms, weakness and more fatigue.
After each release, you will feel stronger and with more energy.
If it is an emotional detox, (head down), it may be about some emotional trauma that
got locked in and now scenes arise so you can get clear for your own self-compassion
and perhaps compassion for the one(s) who knowingly or unknowingly hurt you.
You may need professional care to help move you through the last bits of what
you have gotten more clear about. You will not need lifelong care talking over and
over your problem with a professional. You may only need just a little help to move
through some of the puzzling parts...or not.
The issues that are raised may crop up
in bits and pieces for the rest of your life, but be grateful for the mercy of that because
it will be given to you in the doses Mother Nature deems you are ready to handle it...
so that you move with more ease from woundedness to wholeness.
The Macrobiotic diet is about supporting you and your spiritual path while your body
heals itself. It is a time for journaling, reflecting...finding someone who cares about
how you feel so you can hear your own words without hearing advising, judging, humoring,
diverting, lecturing etc. you so you can be heard accurately to help you get some
clarity. That person may have to be a professional. Perhaps you might look to
someone in your church family...some member in the family...a support group.
You do not need electric shock
treatments. Your brain will be cleansing too (relationship to the intestines) and
from the limbic system will come emotions that for the most part are not the
most helpful no matter the events of your life. This physiology of release will
engage the cerebrum and feelings arise. The choices we make from those
feelings that were evoked by thinking have many times set us up for very
destructive behaviors and verbal communications which have cut a wide
swath in our lives. You might need some direction from a professional to help you
get clear about all the feelings that can come up and give you some tools on how
to differentiate between emotions and feelings.
If after the cleanses, you are moved to get medical tests that may show
something genetically awry, the medical professional will prescribe for you.
I can tell you that when your blood is so toxic and your thyroid is doing its best
to hold it together for you, the medical profession will find an imbalance. If you
are not already on medication for depression, or thyroid disease, you might enjoy
a degree of clarity after the cleanses that might be enough to signal to you that your
functions are clean and clear to perform as nature intended.
More than one client has gone in for lab tests that showed an elevation in certain
which issue in question was not a problem before but numbers
which will reflect changes because so many toxins are evoked with the cleansing.
Please consult your health professional with any concerns about lab results if you
opted for medical care during this time.
I remember when I was first told about Hering's Law and what I could expect as a part
of my detoxing, if I wanted to be well. I panicked. I was frozen to imagine that I would
have to pass through some of the familiar symptoms which were mostly treated by the
medical profession. But because I was slipping so fast by then into a hopeless existence,
I went for it. I have been through some wild rides with detoxing, but because I had the
understanding that I would be visited with things I was already familiar with and it would
not be as bad as it was when it happened and wouldn't last for as long as it did when it
happened, I felt confident that I could endure.
There is a greater degree of health awaiting you, if you are willing to step up to the plate
and go for it. WITH NO EXPECTATIONS! What will occur then will be all bonuses
and grace! And you don't have to like the way it is happening or not happening.
You might make a list of the medical treatments and surgical interventions you have
had during your life so you can watch for similar symptoms.
Be in partnership with your counselor so there can be an awareness of the possibilities
of signs to watch for during discharges. For instance, one woman was treated for lice
as a child. Into her adulthood she suffered with headaches and cried all the time. When
she was cleansing, the eggs which were suppressed from the treatment, hatched.
The treatment worked on the adult lice but locked the eggs into her scalp. We would
need someone close by to ease the discomfort with a natural remedy to ease the cleansing.
Tell your counselor so you can be adequately supported. Another case was a woman
who was a hairdresser and during one of her rounds she release blue/purple dye through
her hands from giving perms years before. In that case, just letting the chemicals
discharge is adqeuate. The smell coming off would smell similar to permanent solution.
If you have been treated for worms and parasites with medication, your counselor should
know. This kind of cleansing will not happen with just the baths. It is with the combination
of the compresses in conjuction with the baths that these kinds of dramatic results happen.
I got sick when I was in my 20's when I went to live in Mexico after my second year college
Spanish class and I am still not the same. But I am so near what I felt like when I was that
age now as then. Sometimes, I still discharge as I did when I got sick then. I have the fever;
and the signs in the colon arise. I am so grateful that my body can still muster up enough
vibration, like shaking barnacles off a ship and the baths and compresses are the lasers!
I have enough energy to keep unloading the waste that set me up for the problem then...I
am guessing you can imagine how grateful I am.
FREQUENCY OF ROUTINE:
Sometimes after the baths, I might feel I am still having lots of inner movement, being stirred up,
and feel the need to settle down a little before stirring up the process again, so I may give
myself a day off during this 16 week schedule. The recommended schedule goes like this:
Begin with 2 days doing the compresses...So let's say you begin Monday night, so there's
one done and the next a.m. you do the 2nd one. Both compress sessions are done for the
week. Then 2 days off till you do the baths. Then you do a bath 2 nights in a row. Then 2
days off before you start the compresses again until you accomplish 32 compresses and
32 baths in 16-20 weeks. I have added the extra weeks in case you need time to
recuperate like I have to at times.
SO WHY DO ALL THIS?
You may need to put up some kind of reminder for yourself about the reason you are
doing this project. These compresses and baths are helping you to loosen up old waste
that is holding you back in your energy and health not for just now, but in your aging
years so you would be more inclined to stay on course. The lining of the colon exudes
a protective mucous when foods are eating that are not healthful to the organism.
But because foods that are promoted as food are so much a part of the everyday diet,
the lining cannot longer produce this protection. It does until it can't anymore.
Soon I hope to have pictures to show
what can come out of one as a result of the cleansing which might help make a believer
out you so you can see what is lurking inside that may even be in there from birth.
You can see for yourself how it is that halitosis and body odor have their roots...
right inside your own roots...your intestines. For instance, if you were not breastfed
the meconium, the black waste that accumulated during your gestation did not have the
benefits from the first feeding to help eliminate it. If you have eaten your share of
fast food, sugar, meat, chocolate, tobacco (ie snuff and were in the habit of swallowing it),
coke, coffee, hydrogenated fats, fried foods, you have undigested, unmetabolized waste
in the sacculations of your colon. You have CIS, as Dr. Bursell calls it: Chronic Intestinal
Stagnation. The villi in the small intestine are gummed up so that they cannot pull the
nutrition from your food so that the mass just passes through...or not!
By using these recommendations, you are working with the timing of nature by allowing
time for the body to discharge and rebuild as you go along. The ginger compresses zero
in to help loosen up the wasted collected for so many years and to increase circulation
to the walls of the intestines. Colonics or enemas, and bowel cleanses do unload
waste old and current, but do not increase circulation from the inside of the colon out
to its tissue which forms the walls of the intestines bringing a healthy blood supply to
the walls. There are 3 things important to health: Circulation, Circulation, Circulation!
I am so grateful to the Source of this Being that these remedies from the Ancients
are available to us today to help increase our feeling of well-being without nostrums,
powders etc. It takes energy and time and effort and money. Either we pay as we go
along, or we pay at the end...Cleansing versus a predictable surgery down the
road makes very good sense to me.
So now...if you decide to make this kind of commitment, you will need to learn to cook
with whole foods without the use of baking soda, baking powder white sugar, white flour,
dyed teas, caffeinated drinks, over the counter and street drugs, butter, transfats, tropical
oils except those that are in the cells of the foods that contain them like beans, grains,
nuts, seeds/nuts which are best grown in our own temperate zone. Learn to find the best
produce in your area. Use proteins that are natural like those in beans, grains, vegetables,
sea vegetables, good quality bread made without yeast, good quality sea food and eggs
for when your counselor signals you that you can add them, if you would like or need them.
Even fruits have a small amount of protein and fat. Use a good quality salt, not the kind we usually
see in the grocery store which has been heated to 2000 degrees. Check with

EXERCISE: (Dorcas)
Walk to turn your new good food into muscle, bone and sinew. Don't forget to breathe.
By unloading your body from all the foods you were using that were not conducive to health,
your circulation will be faster because you will have more oxygen. But breathing while walking
really is a bonus to your lungs. You can see my Blog on Hara breathing if you would like.
You can use an exercise ball to sit on to gently bounce on to help move your lymph, as
well as a mini trampoline. Build up gradually. You can do some movement exercises.
The George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation, 1.800.232.2372 sells a wonderful book
on the subject of Sotai by Hashimoto that makes for a very useful home exercise program.
If you are finding yourself fatigued during the cleanses, rest is what you are needing because
you are already stirring up enough as it is. Save the vigorous work on
the trampoline for the 6 week interval. Unless, you have someone who can jump on the
trampoline while you put your feet on the trampoline while seated and catch a free ride
for a few minutes at a time. Or you can just bounce without your feet leaving
the mat for a few minutes at a time several times a day. Don't forget to breathe while
doing your bounces.
If you find this information useful, I would like to hear from you.
If you are needing clarification on some of the points I have brought up, I would welcome
the communication. Dr. Bursell is always open to hearing your comments as well.
