I think what you have is fire in the stomach. Look at what you like to eat and drink. Every day you eat a lot of fish and meat. And you like to eat painfully hot and stimulating food. Who knows how much heat has accumulated in your body. You'd better eat some more things that clear out your internal heat. The bitter melon you just mentioned is excellent. During the summer, you can drink a little more iced tea.

It could also be because we play too hard on vacation. Busy visiting relatives, running around to various get-togethers - every meal is a big feast. It's so bad, looking at meat just makes me want to puke now.

I whole-heartedly support your principle of protecting animals. But don't you think it's a little phony of you to say on the one hand that we should protect animals, and on the other hand to feast on fish and meat?

All organisms in nature have to abide by this rule. Also, what to supplement differs from person to person. For example, people with stomach problems shouldn't eat a lot of solid foods like meat. They should eat things like lotus porridge, yam porridge, porridge with slices of fish meat; things that are easy to digest. People with lung problems? They should use lily buds and wolfberries when they make tea.
