My favorite blood substitute is a sort of tea/juice mixture. It doesn't do
the same thing as feeding, but it will reduce rage and discomfort for a while.
It takes some getting used to the taste, however.
Start with 2 cups cranberry juice, and set them aside. Pour two cups of spring
water into a NON METAL container on the stove and heat on "low".
Add the following::
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 4 Tbsp. Honey
- 1 Tbsp dried
- ground rosehips
- a pinch cinnamon
- 1 tsp. rosemary
- a bay leaf
- some dried orange peel
Cook together until the water smells strongly of the herbs, then let cool
with the herbs still in it. When cool, strain out the herbs and mix with the
cranberry juice. If available, add fresh strawberry or cherry juice, or just
eat the fruits whole while drinking.
Another mix is not nearly as good for your teeth, but also helps the hunger
and your craving for sweets:
Take 6 scoops instant hot chocolate and put in a glass vessel. Add:
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- a tsp. cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- a teaspoon instant coffee crystals
- 2 and 1/2 cups hot water
- some hazelnut flavored creamer (the same amount as for 1 cup coffee).
Mix and enjoy while hot.
Also try "Red Zinger" tea by Celestial Seasonings Co. with lots of
honey, Freshly squeezed orange juice, or the following for those who can stand
it.
This one is great if you are really close to frenzy/beasting, as it tastes
awful but works well:
Get a 2 serving container of prepackaged tomato or V-8 juice (one of the
drinkable vegetable/tomato based concoctions) and open it. Pour into a blender.
Add:
- 3 Tbsp black freshly ground pepper
- 1 Tbsp. Cayenne pepper.
Blend until well-mixed and add 5 drops lemon juice.
Now choke it down if you can, and it honestly will ease the hunger (as well
as killing tastebuds by the hundreds).
Quickie hunger aids are fresh fruit, a pinch of salt on the tounge, an ice
cube melted in the mouth, ice cream, strawberry and chocolate milkshakes, and
any dark or milk chocolate. Hope at least one of these helps a little!
