: Hi,
: Wanted to first of all thank Roy Collins for
: his insightful contributions to this forum.
: Much appreciated Roy.

: I was put into intensive care a few months ago
: due to a lethal dose of digoxin, apparently
: the source of which was some herbal supplements
: I was taking (supplements are being assayed
: at the moment).  Anyway, let's put it
: this way: now I'm recovering from the
: hospital as well as from the illness(!), and 
: so begins my journey with macrobiotics.

: As digoxin is a heart medicine which slows the
: heart rate it is extremely yin.  The antibody
: I was given is made from the spleen of mice 
: (Yikes!  In a squeaky voice).  So yin/yang, 
: body is pretty darned confused by all this.

: I am having a really hard time figuring out
: on what basis to adjust the balance on my diet, cuz I
: have both yin and yang factors going on
: I.e., since the drug is yin, do I lean toward a
: more yang diet?  The symptoms I experience
: are also apparently yin phenomena (heavy fatigue,
: low blood pressure and heart rate, hypoglycemic
: phenomena, etc.)  The drug is still trying 
: to exit.  On the other
: hand, I have a generally very yang body,
: as I am in basically good condition due to
: exercise andoverall conscientous diet.
: I don't think I can go too far off if I 
: stay within the general guidelines of the
: macrobiotic diet.  The body is pretty
: darn confused with the drug poisoning (I have
: been completely drug free, other than this
: incident, for the past 22 years.)

: I guess my summarized quandary is since one
: adjusts and jockeys the yin/yang factors, when
: one observes both yin and yang in extremes,
: where do you start, and on what basis do you 
: make your choices between tending more yin or
: more yang?

: Thanks for you response.

: Love,
: Caroline
