Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I am in section 8 housing, Pegasus. We get to deduct from gross income, all the medical stuff that is prescribed by a doctor as 'medically necessary'. Would that bring the income down sufficiently to qualify? And I wonder if you can? worth the inquiry perhaps... Glad that you had already checked! and yes, of course you are right that to get income, you need a car -- especially if there it no public transportation to there, and no carpooling. And a cheap used car may not be reliable, and reliability is probably essential to keep a job. (I meant by cheap used, one of the old ones with LOTS of miles. One of my professional friends does that, and periodically has to call someone to come rescue her.) BUT nonetheless, I have read horror stories about folks who tried to stay in houses that had become moldy... oh dear, life becomes SO hard sometimes!

I have had the experience in the past where I bought a car that ended up repoed - the lending company sold it but for $3000 less than I still owed on it which meant I still needed to pay off that difference and they wanted it all up front because it was no longer a secured debt. Hate to say it, but long as you owe on a car, it is best to get it paid off before even thinking of getting rid of it - not only that but it is our only vehicle which means "no car, hubby no work" (OOPS! Much worse situation!) As to public housing, looked into that as well, hubby earns too much. I think the worst part of the whole mess is that most of the meds I am on are over the counter which means they can cost around $200 6 months or so (not that much, I know, but my prescription meds - 3 prescriptions - are maybe $5 a month with an additional prescription that is about $20 every 6 months and 1 that is about $5 every 6 months, the last 2 are "as needed" meds - all the OTCs are must take all the time as are the first 3 prescription meds) T. aka Pegasus -- foot bath detox Does anyone have any experience with foot bath detox?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hello All! Regarding Detoxification! If GOD had meant for us to " DETOX " our bodies do you think he created marketing scams for the sick to spend billions of dollars on foot pads, detox foot baths, herbal supplements, juices and the like? LISTEN to yourselves!!! And, think really hard about what each of these " remedies " are trying to gain --- MONEY! Yes, I agree we live in a toxic age. Our water Is laced with heavy metals. The air we breathe is polluted with carbon byproducts. What we eat is chemically enhanced or genetically modified to last longer, taste better, and fill us up with superflu¬ous calories. Even our body's burning of fats, proteins and sugars for energy creates waste. So cleaning out our guts has to be a good idea, right? No. Our body can clean up its own mess, The body does not passively soak up toxins like a sponge. It has defences and resources which constantly act even while you sleep. When toxins enter your body, these are swiftly dealt with. Detoxification occurs on a continual basis in the body — the lungs, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, skin and immune system all play a part in effectively removing or eliminating toxins. But if our body can take care of its own waste, why do we sometimes feel bloated enough to want to stick a plunger down our gut? Symptoms like bloating and fatigue may be an indication of an unhealthy lifestyle, or a lack of vital nutrients because of poor eating habits — not of toxic build-up. For example, constipation, bloating and flatulence can all result from a lack of fiber. Pro-detox experts think we can do with some extra help. Be detox savvy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Detox programmes aren't for everyone. While most detox diets appear safe as they use natural herbs, and advocate a switch to fruits and vegetables, don't let that lull you into complacency. It can be harmful to health if not done properly. For instance, you shouldn't fast if you are anaemic and your body doesn't have sufficient iron. Those whose health is affected by tumours, bleeding ulcers, cancer, blood diseases, active pulmo¬nary diseases, diabetes, gout, liver, kidney and cerebral diseases should not fast or detox. They should consult doctors for advise. For instance, special fasting programmes consisting of only water or juice should be done no longer than 14 days, this should be done with caution. For natural detoxifying, let nature do it's work within your body or for a detox starting point, a brief abstinence from rich foods and alcohol will do the trick. Stop eating rich foods and drinking alcohol and stop the sugar for a period of time. Instead, drink plenty of plain water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Doesn't that make more sense? You're better off saving your money and making small but sustainable diet and lifestyle changes that will benefit your health in the long term. > > > >From: Anne R <amacgruder (DOT) com> > >Subject: Re: foot bath detox > >@grou ps.com > >Date: Friday, June 19, 2009, 6:38 PM > > > > > >Hi Amy, > > > >I have only seen the little patches you can put on your feet at the drug store, but have no idea if they work.
