Can you get a filter that filters it out from your tap water?

We were having water delivered that didn't contain flouride but had to

stop because we

couldn't afford it anymore.

I'M SO DEPRESSED!! I love tea and other than water it's the only thing I

drink. Now what??? I

could just drink water but that's not even safe. What's a person to do or

rather drink?

Last year, I got a Pur filter for my faucet but IIRC, it does not filter out

flouride.

Now I distill my water. I'm going to finish the green tea I have, then change it

out for water

Yes. Could you filter it out of the tea itself? Obviously without

taking out whatever else is in the tea and ending up with just pure

water.

How do you distill your own water. I'm fascinated.

Hi ,

http://www.we-beat-prices.com/

The one that is $97.00 looks just like mine. I paid $99. 00. When I clicked onto

the link, it is the same area code to call.

Sol, who posts here, has one too.

My problem is I don't like herbal teas. I've tried many over my life,

and have several here right now, and I've never found one that I liked.

I just don't seem to be able to force myself to eat or drink anything I

actually dislike. What I LIKE is TEA, camellia sinensis, even decaf

though it isn't half as good tasting. And coffee..............ah coffee.

I have been able to accomodate to decaf, but it took a long time as the

taste just isn't the same.

Maybe I'll just try to learn to drink hot water. GAH!

herbal teas helped me greatly during this flu. especially camomille. it

decreases viral replication.

[Guest guest]

Sol, were we supposed to be able to eat anything that we like anymore?

If I didn't eat stuff that I don't like lately, I would have starved

by now. If I go by gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, caffeine-free,

non-goitrogenic, and take away all of the foods that I tested

intolerant to which includes beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, egg yolks,

and a whole long list of other stuff, oh and eat no carbs and no

sugar, I guess that I can eat organic turkey, fish, vegetables (that

aren't goitrogens) and fruits (except that they have too much sugar).

Oh yeah, I hate fish

Good luck to us all in surviving this.

I think when you get some gut issues resolved you will be able to eat a lot

of foods. I was even more restricted than you for a time. I am really hoping

that you get some results from the PC. I know how horrible it is not to be

able to eat anything because everything creates problems.

Oh, and I ate a ton of quinoa today with no issues. You will get there

too eventually.

I had quinoa for lunch today and tolerated it OK (small bowl). I hope

that you're right and that the PC helps. What's getting to me more

the few days (although it's close) is the back and rib pain. I don't

know if it's attributable to adrenals which I have beaten up, hypoT,

or maybe it's as Barb said and my last Armour increase was too much

but temps don't support that proposition. Wondering whether I am

herxing b/c of the big dose of vitamin D and how long that might last

if it is.

Yes, mine is the $79 model, for which I paid $99 several years ago. I'm

glad to know if I have to eventually replace mine it will be cheaper, LOL.

You misunderstood, I didn't say your adrenal pain was because your

last Armour increase was too much, I said *I* got that pain when MY

increase wasn't tolerated. Since your temps are stable, I think you

tolerated it okay. I think your adrenals ARE hurting though, cause

you beat them up over the weekend from changing your HC schedule.

There's waking up, and then there's waking up nauseous and

sweating . . . probably a little higher on the low cortisol scale.

When DH or I get enough adrenal pain, it seems like a little more HC

for a couple of days really soothes them.

I know nothing about Vit D herxing, but it would make sense that a

high dose of anything would have some sort of effect.

Oh, and don't waste your $30 chromium pills. Take 'em with a big

meal or open 'em up. Like you said, they don't need to be split

exactly in half.

Wishing you better days. How does that song go? " You can

sustain . . . hold on for one more day. "

[Guest guest]

But Barb, I want to be more similar to you in how I feel and how I

respond b/c I get the impression that you're a lot better off than I

am. Don't deny me that comparison/pleasure

Literally every vertebrae in my back is sore. Usually I'm sore only

from T-5 to T-7. The ribs and adrenal area aren't as bad today as

they were yesterday, but it's early yet too - it gets worse as the

days goes on of course.

You're right about the severity of the beating that I gave the

adrenals too. It had been a while since my left hand has felt that

uncoordinated - since the days when I would wake up with those attacks

and then be fumble-fingered for the next few days afterwards. I think

that that is clearing up some now too. Interesting side-story on that

is that my new doc tested the reflex in that arm, instead of the usual

Achilles test, and estimated that it's at approx. 40% of normal which

he said isn't as bad as many he has treated, but obviously not good.

No wonder I'm dropping stuff all of the time these days.

I probably should have been stress-dosing over the past few days, but

I never know how to do it exactly unless there is an obvious stressor

like the argument that my wife and I had over the weekend or waking up

in the middle of the night sweating and sick. I'm dizzy right now and

have been all week for most of the day so I guess that I could take

5mg now and then another 5mg at 3:30 for my regularly scheduled dose?

Stress-dosing continues to be one of the trickier things that I

struggle with how to do.

I'll use the chromium as you suggest. I guess that it doesn't matter

if I don't get exactly 200mg. I should have brought some with me

today as I had brown rice and pork for lunch and two hours later I'm

getting real hungry again.
