ARCHIVED Your Favorite Paintings/artists?
C.S. Blogsmith replied to C.S. Blogsmith's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Wow. I love how you get the sense of a jungle just spilling over with plant-life. Her orchids are incredible. I wish I could get a closer look at the detail... That is a wonderful story about her as well. Thanks for sharing -

oops, what's this? Picasso Open Original Shared Link (I like this sculpture because I know three fabulous men who play the guitar. My two brothers and my ex-boyfriend who was a guitar teacher) I'm really lovin these paintings all of you are sharing! Especially the one's I've not seen before. There are a few I think I am going to put on my blog. -

I noticed there are a number of people here who are artists (or who like art). What are your favorite paintings? Who are your favorite artists? MINE ARE: (I'm not sure if these are the correct titles--the websites I linked with supplied the titles) Monet Open Original Shared Link Van Gogh Open Original Shared Link Degas Open Original Shared Link Renoir... -
ARCHIVED Is Anyone Else Here A Fruitarian Or Raw Vegan?
C.S. Blogsmith replied to C.S. Blogsmith's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I am sorry to hear that you have diabetes. Just now when I read that, I remembered something else I read recently (while looking on the internet for some hard to find raw foods). I don't know if it is of any importance. I am ignorant when it comes to the topic of diabetes, but I found it to be interesting... Perhaps you already know about it. (keep in mind... -
ARCHIVED Is Anyone Else Here A Fruitarian Or Raw Vegan?
C.S. Blogsmith replied to C.S. Blogsmith's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks for the recipe. The thought of Vanilla Pumpkin Pie especially got me drooling... Is pumpkin a legal SCD food? I know that sweet potatoes aren't and I just LOVE sweet potatoes. -
ARCHIVED Is Anyone Else Here A Fruitarian Or Raw Vegan?
C.S. Blogsmith replied to C.S. Blogsmith's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks for your concern, It's a big concern for me especially because B12 is so vital to brain function and I have numerous neurological problems. Interestingly, there are actually a few plants that do contain B12, the problem is that they are B12 analogs that fool the body and make it difficult for it to absorb active B12--so yeah that's kinda worse.... -
I'm picking up this topic long, long after everyone else, but... I am also a huge Hugh Laurie fan. There are some great videos of him on YouTube. Aside from being a great comedian he is a good musician and composer. I also really like the show House. For those who think House is improbable, it is actually not the result of bad writing. The show is designed...

ARCHIVED Need Help Finding Songs
C.S. Blogsmith replied to *lee-lee*'s topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'm a bit late answering this one. I'm sure you put together the compilation long ago, but even now he might like to listen to Vienna Teng (the older stuff would probably be more to his liking). On this page are 4 free MP3's offered by the artist herself Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Blooming Flowers
C.S. Blogsmith replied to harp1's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
That is interesting because I have always wanted to be better at abstraction. I specifically find synthetic cubism to be interesting and, wow, that would be so great done by someone with a real interest in flowers! Well, anyway, if it makes you feel any better they say that a photograph is not the ultimate form of realism due partly to the fact that the... -
ARCHIVED Thinking Of Starting A Blog
C.S. Blogsmith replied to Silliest of Yaks's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
As you might have guessed by my name, I have never heard of such a thing as a blog I would love to give you tips, help, advise, assistance--whatever. I have two blogs that I have designed with almost zero html knowlege (links on my "about me" page). Blogger (blogspot) is arguably the best free blog service there is. If you are willing to pay, there... -
ARCHIVED Tired, Depressed, And Very Irritable - Help!
C.S. Blogsmith replied to bjn12670's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Maybe your body needs to detoxify. Try drinking fresh squeezed lemon juice sometime after supper one day (but not immediately before bedtime) and taking a ginger bath (read about how to do this because, though it is harmless, ginger baths make a person sweat for a few hours afterwards-- Open Original Shared Link. If you wake up feeling fluish the next day... -
ARCHIVED What If You Just Can't Eat Anything?
C.S. Blogsmith replied to IChaseFrisbees's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
According to the science behind something called the Open Original Shared Link it is not necessary to cut out all carbs and sugars in order to defeat yeast. It is simply necessary to eliminate a certain type of sugar called disaccharides and polysaccharides. Over time you will be able to add sugars back into the diet. You might want to look into it. Though... -
ARCHIVED Cold Hands And Feet
C.S. Blogsmith replied to Sin3str0's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
If your hands or feet tend to turn a blueish tinge or if you feet get puffy, it can be a symptom of Lupus. However, it could be a neurological complication related to Celiac. With Sensory Processing Disorder the body's temperature regulation can get thrown off. -
ARCHIVED Advice For Itchy, Flakey Scalp
C.S. Blogsmith replied to lilfrenchie's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Oil pulling has worked really well for my skin problems. A large portion of my body (including my scalp) was covered with a blistery rash (that appears to autoimmune related). It started healing immediately after I started oil pulling. -
ARCHIVED Seborrheic Dermatitis
C.S. Blogsmith replied to eLaurie's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
On this website, I read someone recommend "oil pulling" for dermatitis/skin problems. I took the advice for myself and have been doing it ever since. It has been working really well for me. Just google "oil pull" for complete instructions. Essentially, it is just using oil as a mouthwash (only for 15-20 minutes instead of 5). There are a lot of theories behind... -
ARCHIVED Serious Anxiety....which Seems To Affect Everything!
C.S. Blogsmith replied to givenupgluten's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Once my Vitamin D and B-12 levels were normal (both are vitamins that effect the brain), Magnesium helped with my anxiety. Also, it became necessary to make sure my body was detoxing from hormones (hormones from food, personal care products and the body's own natural hormones--which might not be flushing out properly). Flax seeds (as long as you are not sensitive... -
ARCHIVED Intolerances To Other Flours?
C.S. Blogsmith replied to MollyBeth's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I also cannot eat any grains, but there were also numerous other starchy foods that bothered me--potatoes, beans etc. Open Original Shared Link guidelines were helpful for me. I now eat Fruitarian, but when I first learned about the SPD, it was helpful to understand why a person's body is sometimes sensitive to these things. Unless it is just an allergy,... -

C.S. Blogsmith replied to C.S. Blogsmith's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks, I had forgotten about enzyme supplements. That's a great point. A while back I found a really good website for quick information on enzymes. They make some claims regarding Celiac that I don't agree with, but in general the information is useful. Open Original Shared Link. I have a unique situation. My body will not tolerate vitamins or enzymes... -
ARCHIVED Is Anyone Else Here A Fruitarian Or Raw Vegan?
C.S. Blogsmith posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I've been eating Raw Vegan since April and Fruitarian since sometime this past fall. It was not by choice so much as by necessity. Raw fruits, nuts, olive oil and a limited number of veggies are the only thing my body will tolerate much less digest. If there is anyone else who eats similarly or who has similar food intolerances I would like to exchange notes... -

ARCHIVED Hoping To Meet People Like Me
C.S. Blogsmith replied to C.S. Blogsmith's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I know I was unpleasant, but I tried so hard to be pleasant. I guess I had always had the theory that the great destroyer of my friendships was my Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Most people can't even get near me without me becoming too sick to function (due to chemicals including fragrance from personal care products they use). I practically go into a coma... -
ARCHIVED Hoping To Meet People Like Me
C.S. Blogsmith posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi, I thought my friends were nice people until I became too sick to work or pay for a dinner out or in general be fun. It was an eye-opening experience. I haven't yet figured out whether my friends were especially superficial or disloyal or if this is what people are like and I just never noticed. I lost my boyfriend to the complications as well... I...
