" >> Girl, I really hope you are kidding about taking on a 2 week fast. Tell me you're joking, please? Fasting can be real good for a person if it's done for a day or two once in awhile, but NOT for a week or 2. Trust me on this. Now friends, I don't write in very often, I just read what you guys are up to cuz I know you're experts compared to me. But I gotta break in for a minute and say-- let's be careful, k? Yeast overgrowth is a crappy kind of a health problem, but there are worse problems we can bring on ourselves by getting desperate and trying " anything. " I'm not criticizing-- I've done it myself, dieting my whole life long, trying to lose weight. I earned a Phd in Deprivation. I starved myself till my hair fell out (when I was young and stupid). Any mental health practitioner could tell you the WORRY and ANXIETY over ANY particular health problem can create MORE health problems and therefore SABOTAGE your best intentions. Yeast sucks, it certainly does. But there is a whole psychological component to dieting that most diet doctors don't bother talking about. It's the whole negative reinforcement stuff: This food is BAD, that food is BAD too, and you better believe it cuz I'm a board certified expert. Our minds are very powerful; if we tell ourselves something often enough, we begin to believe it and manifest it. It's the body/ mind/ spirit connection, and it's the very thing lacking in most diets. I'll get off the soapbox now. My best wishes to all of you in your healing process. theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 Leah, had his usual terrible Monday today too. Seems like he falls apart everytime his aide leaves the room and goes under the table or lays on the floor and won't get up.His aide has it figure out , but we don't know how to change this behavior, since she obviously has to leave at intervals for something, even a bathroom break.????? Any suggestions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 My g/f has RA, and notices more pain when it rains -- I was thinking the humidity was the culprit and suggested she get a dehumidifier, but she thinks it's the change in atmospheric pressure -- anyone know which it is and/or have similar experience and suggestions? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 9:39 AM Subject: Digest Number 516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I have heard that it is the change in atmospheric pressure that causes the pain. As pressure becomes lower the pain starts and often rain also follows. They go together so well that it is almost the chicken and egg situation.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 I definitely notice when the atmospheric pressure starts changing and rain is coming (living in Oregon, that happens alot). And, it's not only weather related - my arthritis flares up when I travel by plane as well. Although the cabins are pressured, my RA can tell the difference (as if travel and airports aren't stressful enough). > > HI all, > > Just wondering if anyone else who takes Enbrel has gotten injection > > site reactions.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hi Leo, I get the same thing - sometimes my RA actually gets worse the day BEFORE it rains (or changes from a few days of rain back to clear), which makes me think it is the change in barometric pressure. I know a lot of doctors say there is no connection, but then they don't have RA! I've heard other people with auto-immune disorders say the same thing too (scleroderma, etc.) so there must be SOMETHING. Best wishes to you and your girlfriend!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 , I had a terrible time with 4.5 mg, which I was only on for four days when I first began taking LDN in December. Leg spasms, stiffness--I felt like I was 110 years old. I'm much happier on 3 mg and am finally beginning to see improvement. Good luck with it. P.S. I hit reply to answer, but I can't tell if there are all these attachments. If I'm doing it wrong, please let me know someone. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 On the thread about so many different opinions and do's and dont's about KT I think we all need to be aware that we all have different conditions under which we are making KT. Some of us use distilled or RO or even just filtered tap...each of these will be different...none of us have the same temps or humidity or whatever and yet these little buggers continue to grow and thrive for us. Yes we all make mistakes but the best advice I can think of is to keep some back up scobys and then experiment with different teas, conditions, whatever to find what works best for you. As for not using organic tea as it would introduce mold to the culture...there is mold spores in the air everywhere...so it wont be from using organic tea. Its like when i started with orchids many years ago, there are so many orchid rules but then I read an article in the American Orchid Society Bulletin from a very respected grower who pointed out how orchids grew in the wild and how we tried to raise them in captivity and that basically you had to find what worked for you and your babies. KT is remarkably hardy and forgiving..take chances, i have one friend who grows some in Mountain Dew and says it is tasty..not sure it is for me but hey if it works for her..go for it. The good thing about this group is that instead of one expert telling you how to do something the 'right' way you get opinions from many who can give you practical hands on experience. Thanks everyone for contributing. tom rochester mn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi everyone~ I thought I would update you on my first hard cider experience! (I am the one who salvaged a batch of just starting to mold flash pasteurized cider that I thought was unpasteurized for a wild yeast apple wine experience) Well, I bottled the 5 gallons on Monday night after adding my sugar and taking a hydrometer reading--looks like 7.3 % alcohol. And--I assumed I would wait 2 weeks for carbonation to occur--well, I spoke to a friend who brews beer who said to go home and check out a bottle--unbeliebably, just 24 hours later--the bottles were super carbonated and the cider was flying out of the bottles at room temp. I chilled a bottle down and it didn't overflow at all and so, I decided to leave them overnight--I tested them this morning once chilled down and they are super ready, carbonated and I now have 50 plus bottles in my fridge!!!!!!! Whew! With my fridge as full as it is all ready--I am thinking a party is in order ... Has any one out there had this experience of the cider being ready so soon after bottling? I still have lots of bottles of the beer I made about a month ago sitting in the basement and I assumed that I would be able to store my cider that way(out of my fridge!!!)--is that not true for cider? Or--did I just have super sweet cider with a lot of " life " in it?! Thankfully, it is delicious... Thanks for all your input!!!!!! Cultured foods and teeth care Since I started eating cultured foods: kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, etc. I have had problems with my teeth. They get stained and when I eat sauerkraut my teeth get very sensitive. Is this caused by the acid in the cultured foods? Does anyone else have this problem? What can be done? I have tried rinsing with baking soda. Is there anything else that can be done? Mattison Shanghai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that issue a lot, which is why I stopped bottling my cider. It seems to take forever to go " dry " ... I'm not sure it ever does, until it turns to vinegar. The sugars are more complex, I guess. Plus you have bacterial activity along with the yeast, and when one bacteria runs out of food, another one kicks in. Which makes for rather overfizzy bottles! In the old days, cider was kept in a barrel on the porch, and that's more or less what I do (except I use pitchers in the fridge). It is still fizzy, though not as fizzy as " bottled " cider. Or I use PETE bottles, where I can feel the outside to see how tight they are (and they don't decorate the kitchen if there's too much gas!). -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
