If You Could Just Use One Herb For Spaghetti Sauce....

Greek oregano is by far my favorite herb to use in spaghetti sauce. It grows in my backyard. I harvest it each fall and freeze it. Right now, I'm all out. I usually use thyme,as well, also grows it in my backyard. I'm not all out of thyme. It comes in second for spaghetti sauce.

What's your favorite?

Definitely fresh basil as it adds the most punch, having had many yummy pasta sauces all over Italy! :)

Basil seems to have it. Which strain of basil is the most tasty to grow?

Genovese for sure. It is also very easy to grow (even here on the windswept prairies as long as it has protection and is a little sheltered). Genovese is also my first pick for pestos.

I may try growing that this year. My first choice is still Greek oregano. It has the sweetest, freshest taste of any herb I've ever used. This is not the same flavor as plain oregano that you buy in the store, as you know.

Oh, I love Greek oregano, too! It grows wild at our place in Croatia and it is so true that it is nothing like what you can get in the store - much BETTER!! :D

      Ibuprofen

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
