Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 If I use Alum foil, I just make sure to first put parchment paper down / around whatever I'm cooking, making sure that none of the foil is touching the food.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Felicity, I had heard things about foil, but never did the research myself. Where do you find these pans with tight lids that can be popped into the oven. Cooking challenged in GA., - " the world is full of flat squirrels that couldn't make up their mind " ~author unknown aluminum foil I was just reading your blog -- the chicken yam recipe. and i think you like to know that aluminum foil is NOT healthy.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000934G7G/202-8206397-3495040 click here for a link to see basically what i am talking about the cast iron is good because it's heavy so the lid stays tight they sell mini ones of these so you can cook garlic til it's mushy (but that's much easier in the micro) if the link doesn't work google " Le Creuset cast iron casserole " mine is glass -- it doesn't HAVE to be cast iron and i'm sure it was much cheaper than the Le Creuset walmart or target must have casseroles with lids just any casserole dish with a lid if you want a super tight fitting lid (not that i ever bother doing this) there is a way of making a flour water paste to kind of glue the lid on while it's cooking felicity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hello There I am one of the unfortunate people that have to sleep outside in the camper in the summer in order to get any sleep. I never would have done this but I slowly learned that when I went to the lake I sleep better and eventualy at home I started sleeping out in the yard in the camper. (it is aluminum covered) One thing I noticed during the first week in the camper was that the lower frequency noise I hear and feel was gone, but I had a high frequency noise or feeling (that felt good) but kept me awake for about 3 days in a row, but then the high frequency faded away and I was able to sleep. I have repeated this low --high thing several years in a row. This is now March and I am sleeping in the house. I have had almost no sleep since October and in an act of desparation one day I lined one wall of the bedroom with aluminum foil. I noticed that some of the low noise was gone and I was able to sleep from about 1am to 5am, after 5am I had so much high frequency that I couldn't sleep. I decided to ride it through and now after about 2 weeks the high frequency has tappered off a little and I am now getting some sleep. I am surprised that some sleep actualy comes because I had lost that ability. I had read on this forum that aluminum foil would not realy work. My question today is why does this seem to work ? and more importantly what is the aluminum foil blocking ? Whatever I have done I would like to improve on it but am not sure of what to do next, Part of the problem is solved but not all, I am hoping someday to get my life back. Thanks, xyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I have bouts of insomnia and hearing everything-frequencies, noises in the walls, etc. Then I will have a short period where i can sleep. I think supplements can help-take a good multi,and fish oils. At night take magnesium and try a small dose of melatonin and see if you notice anything. > > Hello There > > I am one of the unfortunate people that have to sleep outside in > the camper in the summer in order to get any sleep. > > I never would have done this but I slowly learned that when I > went to the lake I sleep better and eventualy at home I started sleeping > out in the yard in the camper.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hello torch, I have been taking some supplements and tend to cycle to the point of almost not picking anything up to the point of being awake all night. Havent tried magnesium, will try that. I have tried melatonin and it almost rubbed me out:-) I presume that my own melatonin production is not working properly. I think that being electrosensitive must mess that up.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Re light sensitivity: I'm not light sensitive that way wise, hardly ever wear sunglasses. The sun just makes me feel tired and my skin starts prickling from it. > > > > Hello Kikkie :-) > > > > I only have one wall covered with aluminum foil, did you experiment with only one wall or did you do them all at once? > > > > I also moved all the wires in the basement that were under the bedroom and routed them away from that room.
