CSQuestions about Fulvic Acid Minerals
Hi, List, I have a few questions about Fulvic Acid Minerals. Has anyone ever heard of them or used them? I don't recall ever hearing anything about them. One of my sisters has a thyroid issue, is on a supposedly natural thyroid meds from a compounding pharmacy, but never feels right. This is supposed to help and she asked my opinion on it. Just reading about it there is a lot to take in so I'm not sure what to even think. Another question I have, if this is a bunch of ionic minerals, would this be different from something like Concentrace which is also a bunch of ionic minerals? Or is it because the Fulvic Acid Minerals also contain amino acids? Thanks for your help! Cindy This is the link she sent me: http://www.vitalearth.org/fulvic_minerals.htm
CSRestless Leg Syndrome (Ivory Soap or D3)
Hi, Dee, Who knows how it works, but such a simple cost of opening a new bar of ivory soap, it's definitely worth the try! The People's Pharmacy have other home remedies for things like nose bleeds - take your car keys and drop them down the back of your shirt; gin soaked raisins for arthritis. These crazy things seem to work for some. Worth a try in my opinion. But as far as working, it depends on what the cause of the problem is. If this doesn't work, you're on to the next idea. Take care, Cindy Hi, Faith, Don't remember what you said - do you have restless leg syndrome or was it something else? I used to have back issues and couldn't figure out why, including some muscle spasms. Was going to the chiropractor at least every 6 weeks. Now that I added vitamin D3, haven't been there in over 8 months. Keep looking until you find what works. It's out there! Take care, Cindy
CSRestless Leg Syndrome
For Restless Leg Syndrome I've always heard to add B Vitamins. This little article says to add Magnesium too: The most common reason for Restless Leg Syndrome is a magnesium deficiency and Vitamin B deficiency. A magnesium deficiency will cause muscle tightening in the legs with spasms. A Vitamin B deficiency may cause the neurological problem and cause the crawling creeping feeling on the legs. But what about Restless Leg Syndrome ( RLS ) causes these two deficiencies? According to John Lee, MD, Estrogen Dominance causes Magnesium Deficiency and Vitamin B deficiency. From People's Pharmacy: This home remedy mystifies us, but we have heard from many readers like you. The risk of unwrapping a fresh bar of soap and putting it under the bottom sheet where the legs will be is almost zero. The cost is far less than a prescription. Positive responses from other readers experimenting with Ivory soap remedy: A while back I wrote to complain that the bar of soap under the bottom sheet quit working for my restless legs. (It was great at first.) Then I got to thinking, it worked before, so why not now? That bar of soap had been there for six months, so I replaced it. The result: no more restless legs. A few times that I had symptoms, I put my feet on the soap and the sensations went away in about two minutes. My husband was having severe leg cramps at night. Without telling him, I placed a soap bar under his sheets for two nights before he noticed. It worked! He's had no more cramps. We still can't believe it! I have had severe leg cramps for years. When I read about putting a bar of soap in bed, I got a bar of Ivory and put it under the bottom sheet near my legs. It's been a month since I did that, and I have not had one leg cramp. http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/archives/home_remedies/index.php?page=all Cindy

CSMS Cure - a real possibility
We just got back from a party where I talked to a woman I've known for years who has had MS for about 7 years. She was forwarded an article alerting her to look into wheat gluten/celiac disease for being the cause of MS. Two days after she found out about it, on March 28th of this year, she began following the diet on http://www.msrecoverydiet.com/. Now almost 2 months later she has so much more mobility, used to take naps now has too much energy for it, has lost weight in her stomach area (she's quite thin). My friend has her PhD in nutrition and teaches at a local community college and at a local medical school (UT Southwestern). She will be presenting her findings this Wed. to the medical school. She wants her old MRI's there. Although she is greatly improved, she said it's not time yet to do another MRI for comparison. As a nutritionist, she couldn't believe her ailment was staring her in the face but remembered the Hippocrates quote Let they food by they medicine and they medicine by thy food. I hope the word gets out to the many people suffering from this disease that's considered neurological. How many other neurological disorders are caused by wrong food choices? Cindy http://www.msrecoverydiet.com/ Their book explains that there are five common trigger foods that can set off the symptoms of MS--dairy, grains containing gluten, legumes, eggs and yeast. Yet because MS is such a complex disease, other foods may also be the culprits. The MS Recovery Diet explains the background, science and development of this diet in one source for the first time, and shows readers how to pinpoint their specific problem foods and sensitivities.

List, sorry, meant to send this to the OT list. Brain error. Cindy
CSA Little Humor
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE! JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road. HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road... We were under sniper fire and had to run zigzag or we could have been killed. Additionally, this experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- That every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me... DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems. OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens. GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here. COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road... ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road. JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it. NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks. PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American. MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information. DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told. ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. SOCRATES: Is what you saw a chicken? - Will you not fancy that the shadows which you formerly saw are truer than the objects which now cross the road? ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain. Alone. JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay, too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that. GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough. BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road. JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace. BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but also will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra... cra...#@% Oops! Reboot... ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken? BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken? AL GORE: I invented the chicken! COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one? DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun? AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
CSPlanning Surgery--knee
Hi, Diane, I am not trying to frighten you, but just to send a word of caution. A friend of ours just had his 3rd knee replacement surgery. The second one was evidentially the wrong knee type and caused continual pain. Eight years later he went to a maverick type doctor who put in the 3rd knee. Surgery took twice as long, partly because he took out a pound and a half of scar tissue. Most doctors say you can only get up to two replacements in a lifetime and most doctors won't do a third. I've heard of folks in the past have part-replacements to find out later the part was being recalled or that the doctor put in a part because he got a deal on it. If your husband has good insurance, please consider getting a second opinion or do an investigation on your doctor through state boards, etc. And yes, I'll say prayers for both of you. Do keep us informed. Take care, Cindy

CSCataract Surgery
My Mother-in-Law had her first cataract surgery this week and had a rare complication of pressure build-up in her eye. She has found it traumatic enough to want to wait a while before having the second eye done. She is severely limited now in her activities and she's normally very active. Big bummer for her. Both my parents have had both eyes done and love it. My dad played golf the same day the second eye was done. Both got the lense implant so glasses are not needed unless doing a lot of reading. It certainly depends on the person how you'll respond. In both cases, they've gotten recommendations of friends that did had successful surgeries. Cindy
CSteeth to paula and a question for the group
BTW, what do you use for ear infections? For ear infections in dogs or people use raw ACV (apple cider vinegar). Just pour some on a cotton ball, wipe ear, some will drip down ear canal and balance the problem. Sort of a probiotic for the problem. Cindy
CSreceding gums
Hi, Paula, It may depend if the tooth and root are healthy but instead of pulling the tooth, see if a dentist could do a surgery to put skin there, maybe a graft or some thing else they can recommend. A big problem with pulling a tooth is that you'll need to put something back in there or all your teeth will shift. Hope you find what works. Take care, Cindy
CSkidney stones
Hi, Lin, My female dog has a congenital stone problem that killed the father and sister. I keep her clear by giving herbs daily. They are: Uva Ursi - this is powerful, can not be used for long period of time, and may hurt the stomach so I get around that by giving two pills for two days a week, with one pepcid each time. The rest of the week, I gave Echinacea - two pills once a day. Have done this for three years and she has been absolutely clear. My holistic vet says to keep it up. I recently switched the Echinacea to Parsley to give her system a change - it's only been a couple of weeks but every thing is fine. Doing an internet search you will find other herbs that are good for kidney stones. I like the brand Natures Way and GAIA. Another thing to consider is learning more about magnesium, here's a wonderful article from Mercola. com. http://www.mercola.com/2004/aug/7/miracle_magnesium.htm Hope you find what works. Take care, Cindy
CSSciatica
Hi, Dianne, For Sciatica relief, I'll second the suggestion of taking L-Lysine! Worked for me. I'd suggest also adding Vitamin E to help combat internal scarring. You can google stretching exercises, the one that worked the best for me was stand with hands on hips and knees slightly bent, arch back slowly and slightly. Let us know when you start feeling better! Take care, Cindy L-lysine is an essential amino acid for humans and therefore must be supplied in the diet. For years, lysine has been considered in the treatment of herpes and cold sores, and more recently, has been attracting attention as a possible addition to the fast-growing list of muscle-building nutrients. L-lysine helps to build muscle protein, it is good for those recovering from surgery and sports injuries. http://www.herbs-wholesale.com/article/l-lysine.asp Vitamin E belongs to a family of fat-soluble compounds. It is available in different forms, the most common and potent being alpha tocopherol. Its main function is as an antioxidant. It Beneficial Effectss destruction of fats and vitamin A in the body by oxygen fragments. The vitamin also Enhances in the production of hormone-like substances that regulate blood pressure, reproduction, and muscle contraction. http://www.herbs-wholesale.com/Vitamin-E-512_info.htm

CSRe: Making CS in high volume
Hi, Marshall, Perhaps I missed it, but may I ask, what do you do with so much CS? Thanks in advance, Cindy I make 55 gallons at a time. Takes about a week to make 250 gallons, at the rate of 1.5 gallons per hour. I use silver plates totaling 100 square inches active area, 90 mA of current, and reverse the polarity every minute, with the water being pumped around to keep it stirred up. I also use a flow through arrangement, so it never has the long time to start the process, and the output is very consistant. Marshall
CSTis the season for colds!
Hi, Mary, You're G got me laughing. I had the same problem when my kids were little except they weren't getting sick, just me. So I started looking and feeling their hands - they were nasty; probably hadn't washed them since leaving the house. Since then have asked my husband and kids to wash hands upon entering the house. Even make some of the kids friends wash too. Don't know if you remember hearing about people getting stomach virus on cruise ships. Heard of a line that requires everyone to use hand sanitizer before boarding the ship or entering a dining room. This has been very successful at reducing number of people getting ill. Same thing with hospitals - they are full of people, so they are full of germs. Hospitals that require medical personnel to wash hands upon entering a room or before touching the patient have seen infection rates reduced. But since you're gotten pneumonia I'd encourage you to purchase a nebulizer (try ebay) for use with CS. There are a ton on ebay and not too expensive. We have an older model purchased by insurance when my son was an infant - saw same unit on ebay a couple years ago for under $5. Picked up some new tubes and things incase we needed it at a pharmacy. Take care, Cindy p.s. Ian's idea keeps sounding better, and better!

Hi, Ian, I just read a article in the Wall Street Journal, which I'll forward after this message, and they brought up the concern of cleaning too much.

CSGlutathione for Austism
I was watching Good Morning America this morning and there was a story on about a boy with autism who got experimental treatment of injection of Glutathione and had much improvement. Here are portions of the article - left out some parts because the sister helped raise money for the study. Cindy v With an experimental autism treatment v parents were impressed with changes they saw after Evan was injected with an amino acid and antioxidant called Glutathione v His day-to-day life was filled with struggles. His mother heard it might help minimize his temper tantrums. v family tried several things to help when they finally stumbled upon one that seemed to have drastic and dramatic results. v For the first time in his life, he was able to dress himself. v It has made a life-changing difference. Is Evan cured? No. Is he better? Yes, said his mother v But doctors are skeptical of Evan's changes because no scientific evidence is available to support the claims made by Glutathione proponents. Yet, after seeing Evan's progress, doctors at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky., agreed to try the treatment on other patients. v I have to tell you, I was very skeptical, said Dr. Steven Wright, of Kosair Children's Hospital. v The four patients the hospital tested saw improvements too, but four patients are not a scientific study. v There really is very little that can be generalized from a story about three or four individuals besides the interest in pursuing some real research on the topic, said Dr. Peter Gerhardt, of the Organization for Autism Research. v A larger study would cost at least $200,000 v Physicians at Kosair plan to begin the Glutathione studies on 50 patients in January, said Leslie Buddeke, of Kosair Children's Hospital Foundation.

Re: CSurinary tract infection
Regarding Bladder Infections, I give my female dog herbs for a congenital/heredity problem with bladder/kidney problems. Her litter mate died with one kidney full of stone, and the other kidney about 3/4 full, and their father had problems. My holistic vet tried various things and nothing really worked, but cost me. So I looked in a couple of herb books I have and I gave her Uva Ursi, the purple cap which is standardized by Nature's Way. First gave it to her for about 2 weeks, and she eventually bled, probably was her stomach as it can irritate it. So now, I give it to her as two pills a day for two consecutive days in a row along with pepcid, each week. Since she has a chronic problem I maintain her the rest of the week with Echinacea. Done this for more than 2 years, probably 3. Vet knows I'm not buying stuff from her but she tells me to keep doing what I'm doing because it's working. This has to be better than being on antibiotics every few weeks. Cindy a.. Urinary antiseptic (antibacterial effect in the urine) a.. Diuretic (increases urine output) a..

Kathryn - Here are some suggestions from Oprah.com. Saw the show Monday and these items were discussed: a.. Regularly open up windows to air out your home of all the fumes and particles trapped inside. a.. Making your house healthier starts right at your front door. Take off your shoes when you enter to avoid tracking in pesticides and lawn chemicals. a.. When you microwave food, don't leave it in plastic containers or with plastic covering. That plastic could leak into the food. Instead, use glass or other microwave-safe containers. a.. Instead of using toxic chemicals to clean your sink and bathtub, Dr. Oz recommends using baking soda. And you can use white vinegar to clean your windows. Or look for brands like Shaklee's Get Clean line. Oprah says she loves their Basic H2 spot remover. a.. To avoid the chemicals used in dry cleaning, take your clothes out of the bags while you're outside and throw the bags away. Then, let your clothes air out for at least a day before wearing them. a.. Use a dehumidifier to cut down on potentially toxic mold in places like garages. a.. If you must store old cans of paint and varnish, only do it in well-ventilated places that are far from your living area. a.. Include plants like spider plants, golden pothos and philodendrons in your home. They are experts at converting carbon dioxide to oxygen. Cindy

CSBetter Treatment for dry and cracked feet
Hi, Sol, So many of us women have dry and cracked feet. Mine started after having children. I don't like to pay for pedicures and manicures when I can do the same thing at home, but have learned about what additional products are out there. I mostly wear simple sandals so want my feet looking nice. Just purchased a callus shaver from Tweezerman. It sounds violent to use, but is not too unlike using a razor to shave dead skin off feet. You would need to buy extra blades too. I soak my feet until skin is pretty wet, then using lotion shave off the dead skin. When I'm done, I wash off and clean my feet. Then apply a heavier lotion made for feet, and put socks on. If you can put foot lotion on at night, while sleeping, that will help too. It's the best my feet have looked in a long time. Using a combination of the two will keep feet looking nice. http://www.tweezerman.com/index.cfm?page=productdetailprod=198 Cindy Sorry, not sure how to change the subject, it was: Re: CSCopper cure...-silver in nose

Re: CSBetter Treatment for dry and cracked feet..or parasites?
Hi, Tony, Very interesting... parasites. I just looked at my eyes, they are red. Skin is normal, I still wash my hair daily because it's oily, or it could be from products used, and have no flakes. I figured my feet were this way because I rarely wear closed shoes. But where does one get parasites from? Other than getting from drinking water or swimming in a lake, I have no idea. Where I live they have supposedly changed the drinking water some years ago to an ozone water system from a chlorine and ammonia system. Would that make any difference in parasites or make it worse?

CSBrain Injuries
Hi, Frankie, An Anchor with ABC news was hit by a roadside bomb some months ago and received a brain injury. One of the key things that saved him was removing the brain from inside the head. Since the brain needs room to swell, if it doesn't get it, then there will be permanent brain injury. I too will pray for your son and family. God Bless, Cindy p.s. You might want to print pertinent pages to give to your son's doctor.

CSRe: Iodine Lugols etc - Is mine Lugol's?
Hi, Rowena, I don't understand taking Lugol's with raw ACV, wouldn't the iodine kill everything in the ACV? I can see taking the ACV and honey afterwards, but not with it. Both Dr. Jarvis altcancer.com mention using Lugol's with ACV but when I re-read their instructions it also says apple or grape juice as shown below in the middle of the last paragraph. Take care, Cindy altcancer.com/lugols.htm Dosage: One drop if body weight is 150 lbs. (68 kg.) or less; two drops for body weight of more than 150 lbs. Directions: Take the suggested Dosage above two times per week - temporally equidistant (i.e. such as Wednesday and Saturday). In times of bacterial or viral infection, take Dosage three times per week (i.e Monday, Wednesday, Friday). Take Lugol's on an empty stomach about 20 minutes before eating in an 8 oz. (236 ml.) glass of distilled or purified water with one teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar added for slight acidification. Also see: www.herbhealers.com/lugols.htm The contents are stirred with a spoon and sipped through the course of the meal, as one would drink a cup of coffee or tea. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING. Supplement Facts: Serving size: one (1) drop. Servings per container: 3,120. Ingredients: Distilled water, potassium iodine, iodine crystal. Warning: All iodine products can be toxic, or even deadly, if taken in excessive amounts. Follow the directions precisely and keep out of reach of children. Precautions: Lugol's, like bio-oxidative preparations, is oxidative. You should avoid taking anti-oxidant supplements (Vitamin A, C, E, selenium, glutithione, etc.) for the duration of your higher-than-normal usage of Lugol's. You should also follow high usage of iodine products with Microflora Restoration - or similar products to replenish vital intestinal flora. Dr. Jarvis was particularly keen on the power of Lugol's iodine, for treating various illnesses, including colds and flu, and for countering the effects of stress: Supposing you do follow the suggestions outlined above (note: not what I have above) and find that some weeks the pressures of your private and your business life are causing you to lose the ability to bounce back. Then you should add a drop of Lugol's solution of iodine to your glass of apple or grape juice at breakfast, or you may take it in the mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. The point is that the potassium in the solution (Lugol's is 5% potassium iodine) blocks off the body mechanism that organizes for aggressive action, releasing its hold on the body when opportunity for rest and relaxation arises. The iodine swings into action the body and the building up and storing of body reserves. When working under pressure, include the Lugol's solution dose each day until the period of pressure passes. If it should happen that your body becomes saturated with iodine, you will find that there is an increase of moisture in the nose. If this occurs, omit the iodine until the nose is normal.

CSa few questions
Hi, Zeb, Here's a nice website to look at regarding heart health: http://www.health-heart.org/vitamins.htm My dad had his heart value replaced and we think he may have missed or poorly timed his antibiotic dose prior to a dental cleaning. He ended up with night sweats and took doctors months to figure out where the infection was. Take care, Cindy
CSStomach problems
Regarding several comments on stomach problems, may I say it's sometimes the simple things that can provide healing. For instance, plain yogurt. Take a spoonful or more with each meal, and over time you will see improvement. I've done this for myself and a rescue dog who was vomiting and seen really good results. Also, taking Braggs raw Apple Cider Vinegar a couple times a day really strengthened my immune system. Does wonders for a sore throat too. Not everyone can tolerate the smell or taste, but doesn't bother me. The first time I taste Kombucha tea it tasted exactly like ACV except it was sweeter. The Kombucha mother looks much like the raw ACV mother. Both of these are fermented foods and would be easy enough to add to your diet. Cindy
CSHelp with DMSO
Hi, Donna, DMSO Nature's Healer by Morton Walker is a great place to start and is available from Amazon for $11 or less. To learn more go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DimethylSulfoxide-DMSO The only caution is that ingesting it will require that you take something like chlorophyll for the body odor it gives. Using externally should not give b.o. Per my files from the above group: I know of no cases of toxicity and would have expected to run across documentation by now if there were any readily traceable to DMSO. The only caveat is not to boil it and inhale the vapors. DMSO vapor is toxic but DMSO liquid is not. It took 10,000 times the therapeutic dose to establish a toxic dose in lab animals. Hope this helps, Cindy
Re: CSdental: pericoronitis.leaning towards osteomyelitis
Hi, Scott, Maybe I read more into your post, but just in case though I'd say: Be careful about gargling and then swallowing it when through. It'd be better to spit it out then get a clean swig to swallow. Also, look at getting vinegar that's not distilled. Bragg's ACV is a quality raw vinegar. Take care, Cindy

CShelp with puppies and parasite
Hi, Nathalie, I am not an expert in this area but I'll nutshell a problem I had and maybe something will help you find what is bothering your puppies. Got a puppy mill rescue dog, who was vomiting and had pudding-poo. After trial and error went to a second vet who diagnosed whip-worms because by this time my dog got it too. Rescue boy was so infected he developed a secondary lung infection. Since it was taking many doses, because it's hit or miss with the timing of parasite life cycle, also used DE in diet. Remember, any parasite is infecting the other animals, as well as the location where they do their business, so clean up after each 'deposit' and spread DE over whatever remains you can't pick up, make sure you don't inhale while spreading it. The vet/s thought he had a secondary parasitic infection, which was thought to be fleas, although there were no signs. All they need to do is scratch one flea off them, swallow, and now there's a new parasitic infection. Again, he needed many treatments. My dog didn't, but the vet said she should have them so avoid getting reinfected. Ended changing food and adding yogurt probiotic and he slowly got better but it took months. Two items that may help you: The stool was checked several times and no parasite. What finally helped was when they gave me several bottles to collect specimens. I took some and left it outside for a day or two, and viola, they were there. (It was warm outside). Looking back I should have also slipped a probiotic into his behind after the parasite was gone. Hope you find your answer!! Cindy p.s. I kept him. :)
Re: CS(About Clorox) Now Steam Vapor
Sorry, but I am a little behind on my reading, abut was reading up on the bleach topic, which I do use, but what I've been interested in trying is Steam Vapor for cleaning. Once I saw how expensive my husband wasn't interested in trying to find a machine for me (darn!) but this seems like a good definitely non-chemical way to keep the house clean. Cindy Water.nature's natural solvent, when super heated becomes dry steam vapor. Tackling the toughest of cleaning jobs.your steam vapor cleaner will melt away grease, grime and build-up while killing mold, mildew and bacteria deep where they hide. http://www.vaporcleanproducts.com/SF233_1_.htm
CSExercise options for Sol
Hi, Sol, Saw something in my paper today which might offer you another way to exercise - it's called Chair Yoga. Here's an article to learn more about it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6914206/ Here's an Amazon link to see DVD's for sale: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_mag/104-8690680-1292758?url=search-alias%3Dapsfield-keywords=chair+yoga Another thought is to check into Aqua Aerobics using a private or public pool. When we lived in a neighboring town the YMCA would hold swimming lessons in private pools, giving free lessons to the people offering the use of their pool. Lots of folks are happy to share their pools as long as they are not held liable in case of accident or injury. Take care, Cindy
CSvitamin a links and information?
Hi, Wendy, Look for information about vitamin A from http://www.mercola.com/2004/jan/3/vitamin_a.htm Sometimes it's hard to navigate his website without accessing it from the once or twice email I get weekly, so consider subscribing. Take care, Cindy
Re: CSTrem..nebulizer.
I'm sorry, been away and am catching up on emails, and did try to read the ones with the same theme. Just don't understand: why wouldn't just using a spray bottle of CS into the nose and throat be almost as efficient as a personal nebulizer? Thanks, Cindy The unit I bought is called a personal humidifier not a nebulizer, it is hand held. Walgreen discontinued stocking it. Richard Harris said he sells this same unit. He may have a few on stock. The humidifier had alot of problems where it would quit misting. Walgreen would replace the unit within one year of purchase. Brickey
Re: CSRe: silver-digest Digest V2004 #642
Hi, Marlys, I don't have the same problem but was having major pain in both hands due to inflammation. I got on two minerals: Magnesium and Potassium - and I'm basically healed. I've purchased the Nature's Way Brand because both minerals are Chelated so your body will absorb them better. Both are capsules. When I was in pain, I was taking two pills of each, in the morning and evening and within a couple of weeks the inflammation was gone. I have found that just about every pain in my body was alleviated with this formula - whether it's bunion pain that crops up on occasion or back pain or a couple of times now, a stiff neck - haven't needed to see the chiropractor because this has taken care of those pains. I've got my husband on this now and his pains are disappearing too. Best, Cindy
