Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Ruth, I don't know about hot process and Dead Sea Minerals. I have used Dead Sea Mud in my cold process soap. I take a portion of my soap mix and mix the clay into that, then swirl it into the rest of the pot. Keep in mind that Dead Sea Clay absorbs quite a bit of water, so don't discount your recipe. As far as Dead Sea Clay goes, I would mix the clay with a portion of your soap and do it the same way as with the mud. To start, I wouldn't use more than 1 Tbs of clay per 1.5 lbs of soap. Hope this helps. Sincerely, http://www.herbalnatures.com " Ruth A. Kohl " <rkohl@...> wrote: I didn't get a reply the first time so I'll ask again. Please could someone tell me how to use Dead Sea Minerals in soap. I make HP soap, so do I add the minerals after the cook, and how much? I hear about Salt soap, what is it used for and how is it made. Just full of questions tonight aren't I. :-) Thank you Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Ruth Some People say salt makes the soap harder,, but it can also make the soap more of an irritant to the skin as well or cause contact dermatitis. I would only use a very small amount added after the cook, if your doing HP or liquid soap and mixed in well to dissolve the minerals. Say 1 ts per 1 lb of soap batch. Adding it to CP before trace will speed up the trace or can cause a falce trace, so you would again want to add it after trace and mix in very well. Because soap is a wash off product, the minerals will not have much of an affect on the skin as would be the case in a lotion or cream or bath salts. hth Sherry Sherry's Creations Sherry Barker http://www.herbalsoap-healingcreams.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Joan, I never started a Kombucha batch with commercial KT, because there isn't any raw KT available here in the UK that I have discovered. My guess is that it would always be quite difficult to brew from a commercial starter, because the yeasts would be kept extremely low in the commercial product in order to avoid undue pressure in the bottle (secondary fermentation). That's my theory. And that's why it takes such aaaages for any proper fermentation to happen in your brew. No 1 looks the more promising of the 2 brews and I should think, that given several weeks, there might be a new culture forming on the top. It's probably also a good idea to carefully taste your brews with a straw. If they are gaining a good acidity, that would be a very encouraging sign. IMO, only time will tell, whether there were enough yeasts and bacteria in the original commercial starter to form a viable brew for you. Keep us posted! And All the best!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks Margret, I have been looking at some of the photos from the list members. My No 1 brew looks very like some of the very early scobys although much thinner. Mine is almost transparent, it's so thin, and it doesn't completely cover the tea, although it does cover almost the entire area.. Anyhow I'm talking to it regularly. I'm hoping it will work.

Joan, that sounds VERY hopeful to me! I should go by the taste now. Remember, the scoby on top is not the most important thing in a brew, it's the liquid you consume. It, too, is the culture!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi, I have posted several times and have been a bit afraid to ask my biggest question. I want an answer so bad that sometimes I don't ask the question as I am afraid there is no answer (I have heard it from so many "professionals). My daughter is 21 years old, since she was old enough to hold up her head she had rocked it back and for. It has caused her so much pain and ostrification, even more so than any of the other problems she has. I think because it is so blatant. She bobs constantly, worse when she is agitated. I have thought of a neck brace, but it I am afraid it will cause sensory issues. Has anyone ran into this problem and is ther anything we can do. We have done tons of behavior modification, discipline, rewards, visual cues, and of course she has to bear all of the nasty comments and looks that you would think would help end the problem. Any suggestions would be soooo helpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay in the shade on some thing comfy and be warmed by the sun also this way you should not burn if you do fall a sleep. Call both docs and ask them to talk to each other but stress and I do mean stress how bad your hurting. Tell them every thing your doing to try and get some relief. Tell them you know you need some thing even before you have a dx. By the way some get fast dx's some do not mine was over 6 months with no pain help to speak off. Get a dx maybe faster got to a mayo center or some were other like Stanford on the west coast all depends on were you live and what you can spend.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Faith, Why does your RD think that taking pain meds is a bad thing? I think your GP needs to call your RD and talk. Nobody should have to live in pain while you wait for docs to sort things out. I know, I had pain for 6 years before anyone would give me any sort of pain meds, and even then they were mild. It will drive you absolutely batty and make you resort to trying to cover the pain in ways that aren't healthy. Bottom line, you are in pain and someone needs to listen, diagnosis or not. I'd stress to the rheumy this. I used to call mine crying all the time. If he would not have been responsive, I would have fired him and looked for another. Let us know how you are doing.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I do get the pain meds from my GP so that's okay, I just don't really talk to the RD about them because he would rather me take OTC stuff that doesn't help. The RD wants me to real quick go to my GP when I'm feeling bad to get blood work right then. Easier said than done because it doesn't usually last long or I'm out somewhere and don't get a chance.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Faith-I don't know if you're thinking about the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota or Arizona. I went to the one in AZ and was NOT impressed. They did the usual-repeat all the tests that you've already had done by your rheumy and a few more. Then, he told me he wasn't sure what I had so couldn't recommend any treatment. But, I could come back in a few months and see if anything had changed (gee, thanks a bunch!). If you're thinking of going to AZ, I'll look up his name so you don't get him. He was nice enough and thorough but of absolutely no help (and it's not cheap-costs above what my insurance would pay). Let me know if you need his name. Best of luck-Ann Heath lotr56@...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Faith, one thing I did (and still do) is feed each of my Dr's every piece of medical record I get from other Dr's, blood work, hospital records, etc.... For me it was relatively quick (about 4 months of hell) but I've found my Doctors seem to be a lot more in tune with what I say when I have the information to back it up. Whenever I go anywhere, I ask for copies of the records and then fax them to each & every one of my Dr's. I also keep a pretty large book for myself so that whenever I wind up in the resort I get past the " We don't know what the hell is wrong with you so we're not going to treat you! " syndrome that I've come across a few too many times when I could least afford to. As far as Doc's that you don't feel " right " about, dump them, and quick! My first RD always had a lot to say, such as " I don't know what to tell you " " I don't know what to say " " I don't have an answer " and phrases alike this. He also was of the mindset that I should take nothing for pain and let it develop. I dumped him, did some research and found a pretty damn good one. The only downside is that the first was virtually in my backyard and the one I have now is 93.4 miles South of here!! The most expensive part of seeing him is the God-Damn gas!!!! Aside form that, my life with my Dr's is great. I can't offer advice on Mayo or Cleveland, but I have gone to " highly touted " s Hopkins and wanted to punch the " SonofaB***** " right in the face and break his head into tiny ******* pieces! I guess I offended his intellect by not going there first and he treated me like a piece of shit. Surprisingly I have had my best luck at a local hospital which is where I got my diagnosis. I have also been to the Univ. of Penn., Jefferson Univ. (headache Ctr, Great people! (just haven't found an answer for me yet and I can't afford to go there for the time being) and a number of other places. The best advice I can give is make sure your Dr's communicate with each other and make sure you are comfortable with each of them. I think the comfort part is most important as it leads to trust quicker than animosity. Best of luck, Kirk. > > Hi Faith, > Duke University Medical Center has a great Rheumatology Department.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 What???? Not old enough for psychotherapy? They have two and three year olds that get psycho-therapy for parents that have died tragically. My son is seeing a psychologist monthly. Does your pediatrician suggest anyone? Ours suggested the one we go to and my son looks forward to seeing him. I would look into the Rispidal. I heard some moms post info that it made there son worse. I think it got to the point where she was beaten up by her son when he went into some pscyho rage. Sometimes meds can make things worse than better. I know the feeling. We have the same problem with our son. It always seems when he gets into trouble its with the same group of boys. We tell him don't hang around them. Alot of kids at his school some more than others have learned to push his buttons. We've tried to talk to him about ignoring them and walking away, but it doesn't always help. At one point we were seriously thinking about homeschooling him or sending him through a local homeschooling program cause of the very same reason. The phone calls, oh the phone calls...don't get me started. Anyway, three schools and hundreds of calls later we ended up at a public school where the principal and school counselors actually cared. I was starting to think the opposite until this school. They got the " ball rolling " pull some strings at the schoolboard and they started doing OT and interventions with him at school the breakdowns, meltdowns etc. went from 15 average a day down to 5. I found out then they are the only school I am aware of in my surrounding area that actually has an Autism program. And my understanding its one of the best. Anyway, the problem is his lacking in social skills and understanding his world around him like he should and he doesn't see it like that. He sees it a different way. The problem is going about seeing it how he sees it and channeling that into something positive and it just purely observation and trial and error. To give you an example, the Autistic counselor at my son's school when trying to talk to him originally she said it took her two weeks before she could come within 10 ft of him. I didn't or couldn't believe it. Anyway, she figured out what his likes and dislikes were and channeled that now they are great friends. Getting to the example I meant to use. There is an autistic kid that she had problems getting to stay still and pay attention during class lessons and therapy sessions. He has a real nack for movies from Casablancas to present day movies. He is literally the rain man of movies. He can recall the movies' scripts line by line. She said a thought occured to her that he almost seems to work like a VCR. Welp, she thought it couldn't hurt. She drew, to the closest of her ability, the exact replica of the front of a VCR. Complete with stop, pause, rewind button etc. Well, the next day when he just kept going and wouldn't pay attention she went to the replica drawing and pressed the stop button. She said just like magic he stopped and sat quietly for the rest of the lesson. She still uses that techinque for him and it still works she says. He is not a real verbal child except for his quoting movies and his hyperactiveness. The point is these are exordinary children and it takes extrodinary ways to reach them. If anything, it teaches you to stop and smell the roses. Some of the most littiest things are important to them that you may not even notice. That's the thing, can you notice them and how do you work them into what you need to do to get him through the day. I'm lucky his teachers and counselors have figured some ways to get him through and were willing to work with him and us, his parents. That's what you need. A good support system and group. Someone I work with has a sister that literally packed up and moved to Florida to place their child diagnosed with severe Autism, in an Autism specialty school just so he could get what he needed. They spend thousands of dollars a year, but he is doing so much better and has improved and actually has a better outlook than he would've had if they would've stayed around here. Its exhausting I know. I don't know what I would've done without the counselors and prinicpal at my son's school. You are headed in the right direction just by posting this help topic. We are here for you. Hope the info I gave you helps. By the way my son just turned 9 and his official diagnosis is ADHD presently. The only med I we have ever been given to give him is Focalin XR 20mg. We take him off of it on weekends and have during the summer. Last year he cleared his classroom three times that I'm aware of. I can't recall why he cleared them, but something set him off and he started tossing chairs. I've seen him at his almost worse. I know how you feel. The way we got him to calm down was completely changed the subject. He went from Dr. Hyde back to calm Mr. Jeckel. No confrontations worked. Just changed the subject. Like weren't you wanting to tell Mrs. so and so about that tv show you watched that was talking about computers? and it was like I my original son appeared out of no-where. ........I'll keep you in my prayers. > > I need help, my son is 9 1/2 Aspergers & ADHD he has had a difficult school > year socially.
