Nik, my hubby says it's the "perfect movie for a forty year old to see".

OMG....this reminds me of something that has nothing whatsoever to do with allergies!! Been meaning to tell you all about an incredible trick for a big, painful, deep plantars wart, should anyone be unlucky enough to grow one. DH has had one on his foot for months. None of the commercial products did a thing, and he was about to go in for the weekly burning treatments at the clinic. Well, I read some time ago about the incredible healing properties of clove oil, particularly for warts. I bought some, and DH put a drop on his wart, covered it with a band-aid, and repeated the next day. That night, the entire wart, root and all, came out. In two days. Very disgusting, I should say - -a huge hole has been left in his foot. :blink:

'Tis a scary magic, methinks.

I am tempted to put a drop on the next zit I get on my face .. .........but it may make my entire head disappear.

:huh:

On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings into boxes, crates and

suitcases.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful

dining room table, by candle-light; she put on some soft background music, and

feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring

water.

When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a

few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain

rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth day, the husband came back with his new girlfriend, and at

first all was bliss. Then, slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place. Vents

were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air

fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas

canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in

the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing

worked!

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the

house. The maid quit.

Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to

move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half,

they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.

Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return

their calls.

Finally unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a

huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

Then the ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told

her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she

missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce

settlement in exchange for having the house.

Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on

a price that was only 1/10th of what the house had been worth ... but only

if she would sign the papers that very day.

She agreed, and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed

paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the

moving company pack everything to take to their new home.

... And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

:P

Hi ever-body! So very nice to hear from GJann-it! Hope the vacay is belly good to you!

Pah-Tay......I loved the joke!

NikNik...thanks for sharing our SoozleB. I am so amazed by that voice....and of course I passed it on! I hope she gets her wish to sing before the Queen. I wonder about "her story" but I'm sure we'll hear about it at some point. BTW......happy belated birfday! Glad you had a nice celebration. (What? NO BLACK BALLOONS? NO DEATH MASKS worn by family members? No big OVER THE (SAM)HILL jokes? Are you SURE you're really forty?) Ten years from now you're still gonna feel the same inside...but wondering how you ever got to 50!

Not much else to add. Hope you're all shiny inside! :)

      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
