Guest guest Posted April 14, 1999 Report Share Posted April 14, 1999 Can anyone help me remember the dates the Anthrax protocol was started for the USAF. Gen Roadman has told the press he has had 6 shots. If that is true, the protocol for him needed to be 18 month ago in Oct 97, right? How can that be if the AF news release dated 15 Dec 97 announced that the program is to start soon. Thanks! Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 1999 Report Share Posted April 14, 1999 The first AVIP shots began in March 1998. However, a small cadre of servicemembers were vaccinated prior to this time, due either to deployment needs (possible anthrax contact) or other possible exposure, such as work in a lab handling anthrax. The General claimed he was so committed to the importance of the vaccination, as I recall, that he wanted protection earlier and so began the series before the AVIP was instituted. -- Meryl Nass, M.D. Parkview Hospital, Brunswick, Maine 04011 email mnass@... phone (207) 865-0875 fax (207) 865-6975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I have been taking 10mg Lexapro qd for panic disorder for about a year now (since it came out)... My doctor told me to take it first thing in the morning, because it tends to keep people awake... And for me, he was right... I had incredible insomnia for weeks, even taking it when I woke up at 5:30 a.m.... he had to prescribe Restoril to combat the insomnia... I eventually went on another benzodiazepine (Klonopin) to help fight the panic disorder, so I stopped the Restoril, and now the Klonopin keeps me sedated... Anyway... for me, the Lexapro disrupted my sleep in a major, major way... Just another viewpoint... anything that interferes with serotonin is going to interfere with sleep in one way or another... All the best, in Houston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Adjust the amount of kefir grains (remove some) or milk (add extra) in the jar so that they can handle another eight hours. No need to put them into the refrigerator. This would put them out of balance if you make a habit of it. If you left it out at room temp, that particular batch would be a little more sour. But would still be drinkable if you cut it with milk.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Marilyn, Good words, thanks! I processed just now, waiting the extra 8 hours, and it's great stuff! There must be lots of different schedules for duration of culturing, given the variables of temperature, amount of grains, etc. Is there an " average " time, a minimum time, a maximum time that you could cite?

Is there an > " average " time, a minimum time, a maximum time that you could cite? The idea is to adjust your milk kefir grain ratio so that you get good tasting kefir in a 24 hour period. That way you are only straining once/day. I don't like the idea of going 36 hours if it is actually taking that long. If it is already sour at 24 hours and another 12 hours go by, at least no bad bacteria has a chance to get in there. The kefir grains will be a little stressed from lack of food is all. People that put way more milk over their kefir grains so they only have to strain every three days are asking for trouble from competing bacteria.

I seem to never be able to find the right balance and end up with curds and whey. Also, how do you know if it's " sour " at the end of 24 hours? Is this determined by taste or smell? Is the kefir supposed to be thick or still like the consistency of milk? -- April The Lotus rises up from the mud and dirt Sweet Lotus Creations https://www.sweetlotuscreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the statement above again. There is no single answer. Everything is relative. You have to find your own ratio according to the condition your kefir grains are in. I seem to never be able to find the > right balance and end up with curds and whey. It went too long. Not enough milk. Tweak your milk every day. By the end of the week you'll have the best ratio for where they are. If you are only willing to make two cups of kefir, you might have to remove some kefir grains from the jar. Keep removing a little every day until you get it right. Also, how do you know > if it's " sour " at the end of 24 hours? Is this determined by taste Yes, taste, of course. or > smell? I can taste sourness better than smell it. Is the kefir supposed to be thick or still like the > consistency of milk? Depending on the cow/goat/sheep you got your milk from it will vary in thickness. I have a Saanen goat that has so little solids (the part of milk that turns into cheese) that the consistency is best described as having " body " . Other goats I have make kefir as thick as yogurt. These are my Nigerian Dwarfs.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I wanted to add my 2 cents of experience. I used goats milk all summer that I got from a local family. It and the kefir was tasty, but there was a lot of separation. Now the goat milk has dried up so I am using skim milk. I normally did not drink that watery stuff, but by accident I discovered that it makes kefir that never separates! I love that! No matter what I do, leave it too long or not, it never separates. Try it and see. Pam in kentucky, with a mere 6-month kefir-making experience.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thanks Marilyn. I actually got a 24 hour fermentation without curds and whey so I think I was using too much grain. However, I didn't have time to make my smoothie this morning so I just put all of it in the frig. Not sure what I will find when I get home tonight. -- April The Lotus rises from the mud and dirt Sweet Lotus Creations https://www.sweetlotuscreations.com On 10/27/07, Marilyn Kefirlady <marilynjarz@...> wrote: > > Hi April, > > > > The idea is to adjust your milk kefir grain ratio so that you get good > > > tasting kefir in a 24 hour period. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Well, did the same thing again and ended up with curds and whey at 24 hours. I guess this is what is so frustrating. I do the same thing and one time it's great and the next, curds and whey! LOL!! Making kefir is definitely hit or miss. -- April The Lotus rises from the mud and dirt Sweet Lotus Creations https://www.sweetlotuscreations.com On 10/29/07, April McCart <sweetlotuscreations@...> wrote: > Thanks Marilyn.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi April, If you think of it, you didn't do the same thing. Your kefir grains grew just a little and possibly got a little more active. So unless you add a little more milk the last time, your ratio was different. Your ratio right now is probably right on the edge. Be more generous with the milk or remove more kefir grains from the jar.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I did take some out but I guess it was not enough. Well, the curds and whey will come in handy as I am going to use them to make a cream soap, so there is no waste. The last time I put it in a flour sack and let it hang until the kefir was like cream cheese. Still haven't used that but I'm going to give it a try. Question: once I get the curd " dry " (as in all the whey drained out and it's like cream cheese), can it be frozen for later use? -- April The Lotus rises from the mud and dirt Sweet Lotus Creations https://www.sweetlotuscreations.com On 10/30/07, Marilyn Kefirlady <marilynjarz@...> wrote: > > Hi April, > > If you think of it, you didn't do the same thing.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Temperature a big determining factor too if eveything is kept the same.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Well, I just came upon a brilliant idea for how to use the curds when my Kefir has gone too long. I eat a lot of East Indian foods and one of their most popular dishes is paneer, which is like cottage cheese, but not quite the same. I can use the curds as a substitute for the paneer. Okay, I know there are many other ways to use curds, but this one is actually a viable choice for me. I'm happy!! -- April The Lotus rises from the mud and dirt Sweet Lotus Creations https://www.sweetlotuscreations.com On 10/30/07, Zaky <zakyzaky@...> wrote: > > Temperature a big determining factor too if eveything is kept the same. > If it is warmer it will take less time if it is colder it will take more > time. > > April McCart <april@...<april%40sweetlotuscreations.com>> > wrote: Well, did the same thing again and ended up with curds and whey at 24 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I use the kefir cream cheese to make cheesecake. I'm a low carb dieter and so I use Splenda for sweetening. I like something sweet for breakfast so I make my little cheesecakes in muffin papers and they are just right for a light breakfast.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 BonjourFerritin is 32Free T3 2.45TSH 0.35Vit D3 23.7had these (and others done a week ago) my doc didn't ant to do free T3 and free T4 but i insisted on Free T3. My cholesterol has been very high since diagnosed age 10, have been on statins 20 years though regularly come off and check them without, they rise super high super quick but just stopped again this past week to test again and have asked my doctor to find out where in France i can test to see what type my LDL is as that seems more pertinent to me and want to stop taking statins. I had been self supplementing Vit D3 for 6 weeks at 3000IU per day before these labs but my doc prescribed some stronger Vit D3 for me. I haven't mentioned the iodine as i know he wd be against it! The only changechange apart from weight gain. I think due to the weight gain i am exercising less, which doesn't help :(I am taking all the supps with the iodine and have worked up to 8 drops of lugols over the past 10 days. I had a mild headache the first two days otherwise feeling nothing. I think maybe i am sleeping a little better since starting the lugols, but only time will really tell that. 2010/2/14 <cindychurch@...> I'm in France too. I bulk buy from www.illnessisoptional.com in the US but I think Lugols is just as good. The difference is that Iodorol bypasses the stomach and hits the small intestine whereas Lugol's hits the stomach which can be hard for some people. You should ask your doctor to check your Vit D3 levels and ferritin levels as usually low levels go hand in hand with compromised thyroids. Your doctor would not agree but most people here would say different. Also your cholesterol could be high in the range another indication of thyroid problems. Again, your doctor would not agree. You can go without a prescription to a lab here in France and ask for the tests. The only thing is that you would have to pay but as far as I can remember it is below 100 euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 >Iodine and thyroid meds can be taken together. You might need to reduce >your thyroid meds as you up your iodine. -- I recently asked my compounding pharmacy where I get my NatureThroid ('s, in Arizona), if it was ok to take my iodine at the same time as the thyroid meds. They said absolutely not to take anything anything else with the thyroid meds and to wait two hours before taking any supplements. I said, but I can eat in an hour? And they said yes, but no other supplements for two hours (I've been handling this mostly by taking my thyroid at my early morning bathroom break, then go back to sleep). Since I've gotten directly contradictory information from my pharmacy, could you please explain where your information comes from and could anyone else explain what the thinking is about going ahead and taking the iodine (I take Iodoral in the morning) *with* the thyroid meds? I'm very aware that any Western source, including a compounding pharmacy, may be operating on outdated assumptions, so I'm double checking, and wanting to correlate information since I would have answered the opposite. thank you. -- ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J.
