"oh Doc we shared the best of times.........."

Oh he has mastered that facial expression! He does the arched brow and eye squint like no other!!! :lol:

I like to look out for the flared nostril also, now that is talent if they can throw that in there too.

Oh, I forgot to tell you guys-- I started Ezra on a children's DHA Omega 3 supplement, and a B complex. This combo is starting to gain popularity for children who have all kinds of issues: bipolar, ADHD, Autism spectrum, etc.

I just want to add my ringing "endorsement." I have noticed a BIG difference in Ezra's ability to focus, and control his temper. I mean, big. His teacher noticed it, too.

Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone interested. The Omega 3 that I got for him is formulated for kids, and I believe it is primarily cod liver oil. I give them to Luke sometimes too, although he can't swallow pills easily yet (yup, he's older, but he gags on them.) So he prefers to CHEW them. :shudder:

Hi everyone-

a quick breeze by, dad did not surgery today. He was unstable last night and so now the surgery is scheduled for 7am Friday morning. He took a shower today and passed out from the weakness and due to his heart being in such bad condition. So I am at my mom's and watching the little ones...talk to you all later...

so glad you dropped in Amanda.

prayers are coming and know you'll be so happy to have the surgery behind you all.

take care of yourself too.

So good to hear from you, Sarah. Just a thought, but have you considered being a substitute teacher? My daughter's boyfriend was desperate for a job and applied in our school district and got accepted immediately........they are always needing subs. He hasn't gotten his degree yet, so the pay is not as much as someone with one. At least he's working.

SAIRRRRRRRRR-UHHHHHHHHHHHHH||||||

Great to hear from you :):wub:

I've been wondering & thinking about you as well.

Sucks to be dealing w/ that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde kurrrrrrrrrrrRap. :angry:

But the good stuff is great to read.

Oh he has mastered that facial expression! He does the arched brow and eye squint like no other!!! :lol:

I like to look out for the flared nostril also, now that is talent if they can throw that in there too.

I think I do good eyebrow & squint but, besides the absence of Hollywood good looks, it's that *&^%$#!@ nostril flare that would've made my acting career's zenith in the arena of a Dubuque Commmunity Playhouse.

Curse those master nostrilators!!!!!!!

********

Sooooooooooo .. . I'm in Phx & hit Mayo tomorrow at 1pm.

Brought the old Palm handheld for plane (not at all plain, natch) music (sidekick also does mp3s, but not near as loud as the Palm). Haven't used the Palm in so long, I'm getting some nice musical surprises.

Like Ned's Atomic Dustbin :huh::)

:early90srockerface: (& if you know what that looks like, plz tell ME)

Anyone remember them?????

Despite the driving (pounding even sometimes?) beat, there's also a smoove lilting [ya I say lilting AND pounding, like some contradictionating juxtopositionificated wine snob] circular rhythm of much longer wavelength, enVELL-lupping it all in the rockin'est tidy way.

And if 'tweren't already a band name, we'd HAVE to add it to that ever-expanding scroll called "that'd be a good name fer a band!!!".

Spacebook question:

Does my old 'status' stay somewhere when I put up a new one?

I flip betw using the sidekick & a work pc & the difference is so tremendous I don't know wth's going on sometimes. :wacko:

Jules spoke Swedish!! Learn that around soph yr of HS?

Suzey phluishishness gone? <psssst . ...they're callin ya floozy!>

Dammit Gian-knit I must've been offline or just braindead when this Smack & Skeeter biz hath begun.

WHY are they called that????

Tell MEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Undeniably nice ring to it, <ed grimley voice> I must say. Like Quisp & Quake. Smack & Skeeter. Bogey & Bacall ... :huh: .. ..nahh more like Quisp & Quake. :D

So much to comment on but too tired for that much typing/thinking!!!!!!!!!

Mornin' gang!

Well, Ptaoughmghmnuss may get some answers at Mayo - - here's hopin', Ptaum!! :)

If one does not have medical insurance down there, does all testing, of all kinds, have to be paid for? I could see it becoming a nightmare for so many ill individuals (read: undiagnosed celiacs, for starters) who need the big, expensive tests for a diagnosis.

Well, there's a new president about to step in . .. . ..... .again, here's hoping. . . . ...

Gah. Giving a big test today on adverbs of frequency - - horrid, boring stuff, and there are always SO many questions and problems.

Always

Usually

Frequently

Often

Occasionally

Sometimes

Rarely

Hardly

Never

Gaaaaahhhhh .. . . ..STOP!

And it gets SO MUCH more exciting when we cover frequency expressions. . . . ... . ..

I can barely contain myself.

To mark this big day for the students and the amount of work they have put into this section, I would ask everyone to please use as many frequency adverbs/expressions as possible in today's upcoming posts. :lol::lol:

I frequently look at my current avatar and shake my head.

:huh::lol:

Yes, hence the reason health car often arises as a topic of political discussions.

Finally got my data!! I'll be checking in infrequently for a sanity break, but mostly absent.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it. 
    • xxnonamexx
      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
