Wow~! What a night! Whichever side won there was going to be a very big and very important first.

The year I was born interracial marriages were actually illegal in this country. My own relationship with my beautiful man would have been illegal. It is like a miracle to think that in my lifetime things have changed so much.

I heard a very wonderful introduction to Obama yesterday on the radio. It was from a student in Philadelphia, I believe. It went something like this:

Rosa Parks sat so MLK would walk

MLK walked so Obama could run

Obama ran so that we all could fly.

Immortal words. No matter what side you were on, this was a fantastic election between two very worthy men.

I wonder what is next? We might be in for a bit of a bumpy take off.

D'you know what's really been bothering me? MLK said his dream was of a day when his children would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. And yet ALLLLL the freakin media coverage I see of Obama is about the color of his skin. I'd like to hear more about the content of his character, I don't care what color his skin is. I just feel like this presidency should be about more than race relations.

It was an Historic race from the beginning to the end. It makes me proud to know that my daughter can run for president if she wants to. There is no longer a glass ceiling. :)

Somehow, I think he was elected because of the content of his character. As far as I know, african-americans are still a minority race in this country. That means people of all kinds of races voted for him. I did and I'm white.

It is historic because he has opened up the political world to all of us, not just white men. We are all Americans.

I hope the media cools it too.

woops........had to do a edit......it was Lisa 16 who gave such a great quote from a Philly student. Thanks loved it

Bunnie

Gosh, Isn't it amazing how we can all see things in such a different perscpecitve.

I didn't think Obama or the media were playing the race card. IMO there were so many times he tried to down play it with positive statements about what he wanted to be remembered for. Sure he is proud of his mixed heritiage but I didn't see him using it his advantage.

Obama even quoted MLK with the 'content of his character and not the color of his skin' as you said.

Isn't it great we live in this country where we can share how we can see and listen to the 'same interviews' and come away with totally different opinions of what we hear.

Viva la difference. :)

Thanks for sharing. You know I was just thinking.......Maybe we see things differently becasue of the news stations or cable stations we listen to. :lol:

Would really be interesting to see if we listened to the same ones. ;)

I would love to see this thread continue in a fun and informative manner as I know we aren't to really be able to talk politics here.......

Maybe we can call it..............media interpretations instead. :lol:

Exactly. It doesn't matter to me if we have a black president, or a woman. I honestly feel this country is ready for either one. The problem with this election is, it was based on the color of his skin, and not his character. From all I have learned about the content of his character, we are in big trouble. Many people were afraid to vote against him, they were afraid of the uprising that may have occured had he not been elected, and well they should be. By the way, he isn't our first black president, he is bi-racial, remember his mother is white. We seem to be an angry nation, we need to get back to taking care of our country, no matter what color skin we have.

When our country is having troubling times, we should pull together to fix our ailing country, we shouldn't have to worry about who is going to attack who. I am worried about what will happen to this country now, I hope my worry will be unwarranted.

This is not directed any anyone. There are a few subjects on this forum that tend to bring out a lot of emotion. Politics is one of them. A good healthy discussion is great, but please keep in mind that words can offend. Choose wisely. ;):D ....carry on.

Character was the one of the main reasons for my choice of candidate.

I think both of the candidates have good characters. I voted on the issues. Especially health care. It's shameful that a country like ours lets people go without proper medical care. We can spend billions killing innocent children and people in Iraq, but we won't take care of our own citizens medical needs. That needs to change. Unfortunately, I think health care is already dead in the water due to the bailout of the economy.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
