Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have found that doubling b & b recipes is like doubling recipes in the kitchen. I don't' have luck with it actually working. What does work is going back to the original formula and figuring your ingredients based on the total batch size, larger or smaller. I am sorry I can not be of more help. I tried this myself way back, and won't do it again, lol (no questions on why, lol). Now I go back to the formula and go from there with much more success.

I think that it was such a cold day, I should have warmed the Chamomile water first, and also, maybe mixed it more carefully.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi Folks, The problem is your recipe is not exact nor repeatable to the T. The problem arises in the units of measurement, There is nothing exact about measuring beeswax beads with a tablespoon. Yes, if you do it a million times you personally know how a tablespoon of beeswax feels but give your recipe to someone else and they will definitely have a different idea of how full a tablespoon should be. That recipe is definitely multipliable by whatever, as long as you have a blending apparatus large enough to cover blending the entire mix well. Meaning the smaller the mix the easier it is to perform a controlled blend. I highly recommend you change your recipe to grams, a gram is always a gram, and as long as your scale is in good working order you should have no problems. I hope this helps. Have a great day, R.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have taken all of the classes--and they were WONDERFUL. Sheri is a font of knowledge and resources and challenges you to think critically for yourself after reading materials and resources. She asks great questions that help you 'distill' the information into something you can easily use when helping inform others.

VERY, VERY informative and I keep ALL of the emails in a separate folder and am still referring to them as on the parent lists vaccines KEEP coming up. I don't know why, but I am continually surprised about how entrenched the " vaccines ARE good and are responsible for X disease being killed off " theory is..so I keep at it, one mom at a time.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I have had great success using the oil cleansing method, which sounds counter productive for oily skin, but its has actually worked wonders. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Acne is the result of overactivity of oil glands in the skin, usually because of increased hormonal activity in adolescence. Here are some helpful hints. Avoid high-fat foods [the reasons are obvious! Avoid iodine [shellfish, iodized salt...ah, no more lobster!] Clean the skin regularly with natural fragrance free soap. Do not use any skin products containing oils or dyes. Deep clean pores with Calendula water Relax! Doctors have seen a connection between stress and acne for a long time. Studies have shown that the body produces more androgens when a person is under stress. The increase may trigger acne flare-ups by stimulating the sebaceous glands to pump out more sebum. Even physical stresses, such as colds, allergies, surgery, or menstruation, can trigger break-outs. In persistent cases see a doctor for Tretinoin (Retin-A) is a topical preparation or isoretinoin (Accutane) is for internal use. hth Sherry Sherry's Creations Sherry Barker http://www.herbalsoap-healingcreams.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Someone had told me about a product that is very similar to proactive, its called acne free-I got some for my 14 yo son who was starting to have a little bit of a problem, but not severe, it really works well for him. There are a few steps to the process but will be worth it if it works for you, and you may not need to do all the steps every night. You can find it at CVS-where the other cleansers and lotions are. It cost 19.99 for the whole kit. Its in a bright orange trimmed box. Don't mistake it for the neutrogena kit, it has a similar box. Good luck! <shades_of_black12@...> wrote: Does anyone hear have suggestions to help get ride of red acne spots? I suffer from acne, not severe, but mild.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 From what I understand, you caught your mistake fairly quickly right? And then picked out the grains and put them in milk? I can't imagine them being killed by coming into contact with four. Well, the proof will be in the kefir. If they make kefir out of the milk, then all is well. If you lost grains during the process, they will most assuredly grow!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I picked out what I could. I had stirred it so hard that I'm afraid they are not in clumps anymore. I strained out as much of the dough as I could. There were a few dough clumps so I just left them and figured it wouldn't hurt too much and that they would dissolve sitting in the milk. I think I'll strain them again in the morning to see if I can get more of the flour out. Despair in NEGA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Threats are how they get people to do what they want. Ask your friend to type up a letter, fax it/email it to the social worker (or hand deliver with the social worker's signature requested upon delivery) requesting where it says that Medi cal will drop her for failing to comply with " recommended " vaccines. If the worker refuses, have your friend take it up with their supervisor.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I live in Oregon and my children and I are on the Oregon Health Plan, which is the same as Medi Cal. I have never had to share my medical plans with my social worker...nor do I believe she should HAVE to do this. Sounds weird to me. I have never had an issue regarding my choice to not vaccinate. I told my children's doc that we were " making vaccination decisions through our naturopath " , which is true but is not an admission of vaccinating or not. This seemed to satisfy my doc and everyone else involved. Sounds like this mom needs to stand up for herself a bit more. Just because she is working with social services for medical care doesn't mean they rule her choices. They can be very intimidating because they have rules to follow. What I've learned is that info should only be offered on a need-to-know basis. Hopefully, she is not just offering info about her choices freely. Share as little as possible, submit the proper documentation to be covered by Medi Cal, and keep your plans to yourself about medical care for your children. She can request a different social worker and then choose to only reveal info about medical issues to her medical provider. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/127032870/direct/01/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
