This is one of Fran the Baker's recipes. It has some avoids but they can be

minimized depending on what products you buy.

I'll paste this recipe because it won't come through as an attachment. Hope

it comes out OK.

FLOUR-LESS CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

A flour-less chocolate brownie recipe with no oil, or butter. I'm really

pleased with the results I got using lentils as a substitute for flour.

Lentils, have so much more fiber, and no beany after taste. And reduces

unhealthful spikes in blood sugar due to the high fiber content. It's just

what we need when using gluten free flours. We can only use lentils in dark

dishes, because of the dark coloring. Brownies are moist, with a cake-like

texture, and very light. For Blood Type O Non-Secretors.

1-1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (milk free)

2 cups lentils, drained/rinsed or 1 can (19-ounce can)

3 large eggs

2 tablespoons " Creamy Lemon Concentrate "

1 tablespoon whole flaxseed, finely grind in coffee grinder

1 to 3/4 cup brown sugar or less

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)

o In a small double boiler, melt chocolate. DANGER...Make sure you don't get

1 drop of water in the chocolate mixture or else chocolate will harden up.

o In blender or food processor, combine beans, eggs, lemon concentrate,

ground flaxseed. Add sugar, sea salt, and melted chocolate; process until

smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped nuts (optional).

o Pour batter into greased non-stick 9-inch round cake pan or a 10x7-inch

baking pan.

o Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center

comes out clean. Cool brownies before cutting.

Serve with Raspberries or Raspberry Sauce, or Quick Melted Chocolate Chip

Frosting. Recipes follow.

QUICK RASPBERRY SAUCE

1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam, or any fruit jam

2 tsps. fresh lemon juice

1 pint fresh raspberries (optional)

o In a heavy gauge saucepan, over moderate heat cook jam until melted, 1-3

minutes. Stir in lemon juice and berries.

Per wedge with sauce: 318 calories, 10g fat (4.8g saturated), 56g carbs, 2.8g

fiber, 5.8g protein, 116mg sodium.

QUICK MELTED CHOCOLATE CHIP FROSTING

o Remove baked brownies from oven. Quickly pour chocolate chips unto hot

brownie cake. Try to spread evenly over the top. Place in hot oven for 2

minutes, remove from oven and with a large rubber spatula smooth softened

chocolate chip evenly over brownie cake. Let cool until chocolate topping has

harden.

NOTE...You may also cook up 1-pound lentil beans and substitute them for

canned lentils. One pound of lentils will make enough for 2 brownie recipes.

CREAMY LEMON CONCENTRATE:

1. Scrub, the lemon with a good vegetable soap. Juice lemon and store juice

in a air tight jar for further use.

2. Cut lemon rind and inner membrane into small pieces, remove any seeds.

Combine lemon rind in a min-food processor and pulse until finely ground.

3. into a small saucepan add 1-cup water to minced lemon rind mixture and

bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, and cook covered for about

30-minutes or until mixture is thick and creamy. Let mixture stand covered,

until cooled.

4. Purée in blender until smooth and creamy. Makes 1 full cup or more. Recipe

can be increased.

Suggestions.........

> Is there anything I can do to help with plaque?

My childhood was splattered with cavities & sensitive teeth(still the

case). If my teeth sense anything sweet in the foods, you bet i'll

be brushin soon afterwards. Make it portable3 or 4 toothbrushes

where you mauy need 'em....purse, at work, etc

> I did some research looking for recipes to use, especially for

bread, cookies, cakes, etc, as I have a sweet tooth, found a few

things, but not very many. Any suggestions?

You're a carbo type. Decreease your fat & protein ratios in your BTD

meals,, and up your fave carbs.

I > I noticed the post on sweet potatoes and other bene's causing

weight gain, sigh, Im trying to lose weight, put on 45 pounds. I try

to watch my carb intake, but I feel like I will end up eating nothing

at all if I cut those to 20 or less a day. Any and all help

appreciated. Thanks

> Debbie

If you MUSt LOS E weight, read EATING ORGASMICALLY AND LOSE

WEIGHT.....just read the principles of the psychology of " bein

thin. " Try to get rid of the guilt. Also, you're a chick, so see

what happens to your appetite after a daily dose of 1.25 gallons of

water(advice i know you won't take, ehh hee hee). Get on a short but

intense weightlifting routine so you can shape yourself, grrrl.

Other than that, stop feeling guilty after you munch on some " no-

no's. " Feel happy.

Sara,

I would be interested in knowing more about the comment below about soy not

being good for those who are hypothyroid. Could you also give references?

Thanks,

2) Has anyone found a high protein, crunchy food for a snack that is not soy

(I understand soy is not good for those who are hypothyroid)?

Soy protein is only a problem if you take it with your synthroid. You need

2-3 hours between your dose of synthroid for hypothyroidism and your soy

product. Same for calcium and iron products.

Hair loss lasts for about 3-4 months. Three good sources of information about

hair loss and hair loss treatment. HOpe this helps you with part of your

questions.

Sounds like you need to so some researching!! Let me see if I can

help you here.

NO you can NOT get Hepatitis C from a spoon or fork or glass or

kissing or hugging. (note: if blood is present due to bleeding gums

in the mouth then it can be transmitted via saliva or kissing)

YES you can get it from a toothbrush or a razor.

ABSOLUTELY YES you can get it from sharing a Straw...if it is used in

drug use. Also from sharing needles.

Less than 2% of all infected people pass HepC on via sex.

The most important thing to remember is that Hepatitis C is spread by

BLOOD TO BLOOD CONTACT ONLY. Blood MUST be present to transmit it.

Hepatitis C is NOT found in body fluids, breast milk, or sperm.

85% of those with Hepatitis C go on to Chronic Hepatitis C.

20% of those will go on to cirrhosis.

20% of those with cirrhosis will go on to liver cancer/end stage

liver disease.

Treatment can stop the progression of further liver damage and

fibrosis IS and CAN be reversed!

Treatment success rates vary due to all the different genotypes.

Also, it depends on what you define as success. This is a virus and

they have never cured a virus. BUT...treatment CAN and DOES slow the

progression of disease to your liver.

If you have been diagnosed you MUST NOT DRINK ANY ALCOHOL. It is like

putting gasoline on a fire.

12,000 people die each year due to complications from HCV and that is

expected to triple by 2010.

If you are diagnosed with HCV you must remember to cover all cuts,

scrapes or open wounds with a bandaid until fully healed. If you drip

blood on anything...clean it up using bleach. Other cleaners will NOT

kill the virus and it does live outside the body for up to 4 weeks if

not longer.

When you brush your teeth, you sometiimes make your gums bleed. Any

blood (or virus in the blood) left on the brush, can pass it on. You

can eat infected blood and the digestive system acids will kill the

virus, but if there are micro leisons in the mouth it can get

transmitted. Straw same thing, although the chance of transmission

is low, it exists. That is if you are DRINKING from the straw. Back

in the '70s snorting cocaine was very fashionable. Anyone who went

through that period will tell you the fine crystal flakes of cocaine

when viewed through a microscope look like pieces of broken glass.

Sharp!! And one of the side effects of coke use through nasal

ingestion was nose bleeds which would leave blood on the straw being

passed from person to person. The CDC believes this avenue was

second only to IV injection with dirty needle transmission in the

amount of people infected by HCV. Sex is also a way to transmit the

virus although it is thought to be low. The word to remember is

THOUGHT. When I was diagnosed in '92 they believed and I was told

that the HCV virus was not sexually transmitted. You should be

engaged only in safe sex anyway. It's like the guy who picks up the

blond at the party and takes her home to have sex. After they were

finished she said " you did use a rubber right? " The guy says " Ya,

why " , and the blond says " well I had that HIV once and I sure

wouldn't want to catch it again! "

Hi Marie,

No the treatment usually does not make your glucose go up or down.

Did you eat anything before having your blood drawn? You may want to

have the Dr re check it for you to be sure.

Yep, it will cause thyroid troubles so I'm glad to see your Dr is on

top of it for you! Hey those platelets look GREAT!! I'm not on

treatment and mine are never over 150 and while I was on they were

usually around 75,000 so you are cranking girl!!

I hope your stitches heal fast and with as little pain as possible.

Nothing worse than oral surgery. (which is why I avoid the dentist

unless I am dying!)

You are doing great there on treatment girl!! Good to see you posting

now and again. We don't want to think you fell off the coast of

Florida and floated off to the Bahamas ya know!

My Chiro does this. or something very similar. Too many things he's

diagnosed this way are right for it to be completely hokey!

Four generations of my family have now gone to this guy because he's so good.

I don't know about the things your dr prescribed for your child, but my

dentist tests my compatability with dental filling materials the same

way and uses what my body 'tells' him I'm not reactive to.

Hello everyone!

Been kind of lurking on here since my hook up. Haven't had too many

My 3G is mapped at 900 one with sensitivity and one without. I only

use the sensitivity setting while driving yet I think it's too

strong. The reason I say this is everything seems to be filtered to

the point where I have to turn it all the way to 7 and speech still

sounds too soft. Using Whisper with this program doesn't help. What

should I have my audie do different at my next map?

I'm not doing bad with this map yet I just get frustrated that I only

pick up bits and pieces of stuff off the radio and TV. Have any of

you changed to a 1200 map and got better results? My audie says

about 95% of her clients are on a 900 map. Although she said it was

up to me to switch to a 1200 map, she seemed reluctant to only map

one processor that way so I can see the difference. Do you think I

should be more vocal about it next time?

Thanks for the help!

Kat:

I am new at this. Just really learning. But, my audi gave me 900

map the first week which worked fine for a few days but the words

began to become more garbled and hard to understand so she gave 1200

map and words were again easier to understand but I use my auto

sensitivity almost exclusively as the background noise is to noisey

for me to understand everyone talking. I also have 1400 map which I

don't really use. I have a BWP so I have more programs then on the

3G. I was thinking about asking for a 900 map to see if this would

lessen the background noise, on my next visit.

I hope this helps.

The 900 vs 1200 vs 1400 program is the speed at which sound is

processed. I don't know that it would make any difference with

background noise, this would most likely be in your sensitivity

settings which can be adjusted to fit your needs. By all means, have

your audi change your sensitivity if you feel your program is too

soft.. Doesn't hurt to try anyhow.

I started with ace 900 then after a month or so switched to ace 1200.

There was no difference in the background noise for me, however

sounds were a bit sharper.

As for me, my sensitivity setting is too loud right now. I can put it

on 1 sometimes.. the 3G that is.. and everything is still too loud,

so it's adjustment time for me too.

Hope this helps some.

Hugs,

Silly

Kat I am not sure what you are asking. If the noise of the car is the

problem, then auto sensitivity on a map show work better...at least it does

for me. I feel I can hear what I need to hear, without listening to the

drone of the engine noise. Experimentation like you are talking about is a

good way to find out what works and what doesn't work for you. Eventually

as you become a seasoned user of the CI you will know more specifically what

you like or what works well for you. Remember each time you make changes

your " brain " is going to be a bit confused and you will need to adjust to

the difference in stimulation. Go for it! Ruth

Kat,

If your 3G has autosensitivity and it is too strong then have your audie

change the dB at which the autosens kicks in.

If you have a sensitivity map that is not loud enough then let your audie

know that you can't hear well qnd sounds are too soft. There are several

things that your audie can do to bring in more sound. S/he can raise your

comfort

levels, increase the gain on certain electrodes...your audie knows best!

Kat,

I also use auto sens with volume map in the car. I turn the volume on the

processors down just enough to knock out most of the road noise and turn the

radio up until I can understand it. The radio knob is wayyyyyyyy up there too

since my audi had to set the default where it is (don't ask, I don't know) so I

could use this program at my very noisy work place. I usually do not listen to

it as loud if the family is with me and still get a lot of it but it is better

louder.
