Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Tony- I've been doing guai for about a year and a half. You will want to titrate your dose up from 300mgs 2x daily SLOWLY because otherwise you will take too much, and free up more phosphate than your kidneys have the capacity to handle..then you feel bad all the time (instead of cycling) while you are clearing. I did this when I first started, and eventually had to stop for a week or so and start again at the 300 mg level. Now I have more good days than bad. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Thank you for teaching me ... choosing oils is the easy part, it's the method of hydration and other qualities that make this so interesting. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, the only fractionated oil that is available to home crafters is " fractionated coconut oil " . Based on descriptions of this oil, I believe that the INCI name is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is defined as a mixed triester of glycerin and caprylic and capric acids. I like to use Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides because it is quite light and has a nice feel on the skin. Maurice -------------------------------------------------------- Maurice O.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Thanks to all of you who have helped me out with the baby and comfrey issues. Rose, I was ROTFL with the mental picture of a baby licking his/her own bottom-- they're agile, but this would be over the top! Bettijo, I neglected to mention the water in my recipe, thus the Germaben, which I will probably scrap it for a pinch of citric acid (and smaller batches). pdjxxxwa, if I'm avoiding nut oils, shouldn't I also avoid sunflower? I'm thinking safflower is the way to go. Anyway, thanks to everyone--I know where to take this from here. http://www.gordano.com - Messaging for educators.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 , Just keep working through the book, come back and ask questions when you need help. We are all just traveling down this path called life. I have a question, If you had no choice and had to live with two of the following for the rest of your life and could get rid of one, which would it be. Suffer Feel your pain Feel your anxiety Think about it, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Thank you for welcoming me to the support group. I have been reading postings from other members and I feel that I am not alone. One member mentioned about black spots on the legs after the EN. The colour of my legs (the lower part up to the ankles) has never changed to normal after the EN and whenever I press it, it leaves a dent and some doctors even now when i visit the surgery think its oedema and i have to explain and they do not know what EN is until they research it o n the internet. My legs are mostly painful in Winter and Summer is a great time, they never swell that much and ache. Many thanks for all your emails.
