    I agree. Honesty and transparency is important to me in relationships. I want to KNOW what the other person really thinks and believes. It's as if they aren't willing to be vulnerable and admit their true feelings--they think that expressing emotion is showing emotional weakness, and that they want to preserve themselves. I think acting as if one is tough...

    Has anyone had weight gain when taking antihistamines? I have been taking benadryl for several months every night to help with sleep and I feel so puffy and bloated, and I am gaining weight. It feels like water weight. Anyone else have trouble with this medication, or antihistamines in general? Any thoughts?

    Hi everyone. I was reading your posts. You guys have some good information you are discussing and it is very helpful. I was wondering if anyone feels a difference between B12 injections versus B12 orally? I have been taking B12 and B6 orally, which makes me feel better mentally, but I have had bad headaches with them... Im wondering if the B12 injections...

    Hi everyone, I thought Id stop in to say hi and give an update. The enzyme topic caught my eye. I Tried Dr. Houston's enzymes back in 2005, they made me feel sick, and headaches got worse. I think I was taking the protein breakdown digestive enzyme, so I gave up on them. I spoke to his wife on the phone, she was very nice, and she sent me free samples...

    this cracks me up,,, im thinking back to what doctors have said to me over the years, respected rhumatologist- you are what we call, the "worried well" you can take all the blood tests in the world for the rest of you life and you are not going to find anything-quote my family doctor- "you are a hypochondriac, " "I think you have an eating disorder...

It happened immediately. And that sucked...

    My holistic dentist said he does not use lidocaine for numbing because it degrades into a carcinogen. He said that he uses Septocaine instead. I just had a filling done, it seemed fine. I had never head of septocaine. I remember you saying that you felt bad after the dental injections a year ago, and that you got really sick from them and you asked...

    Also... when I first started having problems, (pain, allergies,intolerance, fatigue,CS, thyroid etc) I was taking thyroid medication, pretty high doses of T3 I had bought off the internet from a pharmacy in mexico... prob not the smartest idea. I had electric shocks in my neck going up the side of my face and my lymph nodes felt so painful. Before that...

    Hi everyone!!! Has anyone ever had a problem with thick sticky mucus and dry mouth? I have noticed that the dryer my mouth is, the worse the head pain is. As in when im dried out, im hurting. And when Im producing saliva and clear mucus I feel much better. This fluctuates all the time, so I try to avoid gluten and dairy, but I will admit, I have not...

    When I had my skin biopsy done on a puffy part of my face, the lab report came back as, "mild imflammation and fibrosis" I wonder if that meant fibrin or something... fibrosis, fibrin? that was 2 years ago. The derm, dismissed it. about the fluvic acids, and humic acids, they are only bad if they are contaminated. Since they do bind to metals and...

    I know you are super into research and obviously know if something was bad for you, you wouldnt take it. I saw Trace minerals, and literally freaked out. I dislike the Trace Minerals, concenrace liquid mins brand because they made ME sick. The ones I took were derived from the great salt lake concerntrated brines, portions of which are polluted with...

    I hope its not the Trace Mineral drops I took before I got sick. Read the back of the bottle, they usually are derived from the great salt lake, or from various coal, shale mining landfill operations. Arsenic, lead, uraninum, lithium.... all in Trace amounts,,, we dont need that poison. If thats what it is... Please, What every you do, read the...

    Rachel, Which lab did your hair analysis? I was reading on line, mercola, and other people say that its hard to find a good lab, because most of them wash the hair with detergents and chemicals, and it can effect the results. Do I need a doctor to order them? THe analysis can vary from lab to lab, ive heard, so im thinking of not wasting my money...

    Ohh great! I like the sound of this new doctor. I might be in trouble, My periods have been irregular, long spotty weird, for the last 3 months. So I started the NUVA ring, last month to bring on a period, and shed the lining that was building up,,, its not bad, today is my 7 day week off. I put it back in tommorow. Graphic,,, dont read...

    I think that we all want to understand the reasons why things are happening inside our bodies. No matter how deep or complex the issue may seem. There is comfort in breaking things down, into simpler units, to begin to understand, and believe that something real is going on. And not just some abstract idea, but something real and tangible that can...

    For anyone who cares... Which group would best fit you? Sorry, Im a psychology geek and I like this stuff. I just wanted to know, Im curious about people... The SPs "ARTISANS" Myers had SPs probing around their immediate surroundings in order to detect and exploit any favorable options that came within reach. Having the freedom to act on the spur...

    If you don't mind my asking, what do you do for a living? Right now I am working as a nursing assistant for 3 years and I like it. I am finishing up my degree in Psychology and English, at OSU. Then my masters in Psychology. I decided I didnt want to become a nurse. Do you find that its hard to choose a career? I have a tendency to get excited about...

"You Just dont understand" Women and men in Conversation." "That's not What I meant!, How Conversation Style Makes of Breaks Relationships" She has her PhD in linguistics, and is so...

    I think Ive figured out how to do the quote thing... Ya both you and rachel have mentioned the paradox, that Yeast actually can protect the body from causing further free radical damage through adsorption of metals. Did you know that they actually use Mushrooms or Fungi in Bioremediation, to clean up Atomic waste. The enzymes in the fungi can actually...
