Hello All,

       After about five weeks of sauning, when I began to sweat more, I also
began feeling down in the dumps.  A lot of old emotional stuff was coming up
and I just couldn't stop crying.  This was stuff I had dealt with years before
and was surprised to be having such deep feelings in the present.  Jim
suggested that I might be low in zinc.  I had some in the house and tried it but
it
didn't do much for me.  Jim sent me a sample of Water Oz zinc and when I tried
that during a crying spell the crying stopped within about five minutes.

       To deal with negative emotions I've been using EFT (Emotional Freedom
Technique) and it's been really helpful.  It doesn't get rid of the memory -
just the painful emotion when it comes to mind.  That's a little off-topic for
this forum but I thought someone might be interested.... FWIW.

       This morning I started crying about something ... hadn't been thinking
about it, it was just there all of a sudden.  I ran out of zinc several days
ago ..... so I did EFT and in a short time I had stopped crying.  I believe
that taking zinc will stop these episodes, but in the meantime it's wonderful to
have a way to deal with a painful memory.

Ellen
