    I always bring minute rice! You can always ask for a cup of hot water on the plane--like asking for tea without the tea bag. Add your dry rice, cover for 5 minutes, and you have nice hot rice. Make sure you pack white rice and not brown--the minute brown rice actually needs to cook, not just drown in hot water. Oh, Trader Joe's sells boxes of individual...

    On the bright side, if you do not have an official diagnosis of celiac, then the insurance companies will have no excuse to deny you coverage (which has happened to some here when changing insurance companies). You do, however, need to keep on top of any developing autoimmune issues. It's always possible that you DO have celiac, and that your villi didn...

    That's not entirely true. If your study was funded by a company (like a pharmaceutical company) or by a university (like a medical school), your data belongs to THEM, and you are not permitted to publish it without their consent. So, if your results don't match what they are hoping for, those results are buried, and you are basically gagged from even discussing...

    Fair enough! I just wish that others would list their sources when they write things like "{saying that vaccines can harm or kill" can have a deadly outcome by its implication!" Incidentally, this appeared in yesterday's "USA Today" : Open Original Shared Link

    Jestgar, as a moderator, surely you know that we aren't allowed to have links in our sig...

    Excuse me but you didn't provide a link yourself. What deadly outcome are YOU talking about? Did you provide any facts showing that my statement (that vaccines could kill) could have a deadly outcome by its implication? What facts did you provide? The fact that vaccines CAN cause death is something that I was NEVER, EVER told, either in person or in...

    Where do you draw the line? Do we have to back up with a quick link "it takes an average of 11 years to be correctly diagnosed with celiac?" Everyone accepts that one as fact now. I have not seen any mods insisting that that one be backed up with a link referencing the University of Chicago 2006 study. Why do I have to provide a link for "vaccines...

    I have not done anything like this, and I really resent your attempting to paint a racist or religious comparison. I have never condemned all doctors,nor have I campaigned to abolish all vaccines. If THOUSANDS of children have severe reactions to vaccines, shouldn't they be properly investigated? If it takes an average of 11 years to get correctly...

    Without the anecdotes shared by tiredofdoctors, Canadian Karen, Ursa Major, and several others on this very board, I would never have known that I had a problem with gluten, nor that the potential for more and more serious autoimmune disorders existed for me. Without going off gluten, I would not have gotten rid of or lessened numerous symptoms and medications...

    I totally understand where you are coming from. What disturbs me is that our doctors consider that we have as much reliability as "someone just in off the streets." As I've mentioned many,many times here, much of my life has been a fight against the doctors' frame of reference---and I have been right (and they were wrong) EVERY SINGLE TIME. Unfortunately...

    Whoops, sorry, double post!

    Diet soda is associated with INCREASED weight gain. From Wikipedia: An independent study by researchers with the Framingham Heart Study in Massachusetts, has turned up results which indicate that the consumption of diet soda correlates with increased metabolic syndrome. Of the 9,000 males and females studied, findings stated that 48% of the subjects were...

    First, that's a study. Not a long-term study. Secondly, by that study, there ARE serious side effects reported. Thirdly, the CDC's integrity has come under fire: "CDC Perspective Parents groups alleged that CDC officials had worked to dissuade agency scientists from looking more deeply into links between thimerosal and autism. The groups also alleged...

    Good question.

    I just went to their website, and couldn't find it either. 4 years ago, though, it was there. We had put off the second MMR shot for our oldest son, but when he hit puberty, we were worried about possible complications if he were to catch mumps. We looked into giving him a mumps-only vaccine--but it contained thimerosal. Our pediatrician did a blood...

    Open Original Shared Link There are NO long-term studies that have been done on the current vaccine schedule. As referenced above, the hepatitis B vaccine has killed infants, and sent over a thousand to the hospital. The Gardasil vaccine has caused deaths: Open Original Shared Link and has been taken off the market in Spain Open Original Shared Link....

    Sorry, I still don't understand what you want me to cite sources for. Is it the 1999 study? If so, that can be found at www.nvic.org. It can probably also be found by googling "1999 study hepatitis vaccine" Here is also something with TONS of references: Open Original Shared Link Do we need more references?

    Is this supposed to be a helpful comment? I am NOT against the idea of vaccines, as I went on to explain in my previous post. The principle is a sound one: prevent serious disease by activating the immune system against them in advance. It's the way the idea has been put into practice with all kinds of serious, literally life-threatening flaws,...

    Jestgar, your quote got cut off in your post, so I'm not sure what you want me to back up.

    Mamabear, the respected institutions you mention are all linked with big pharm. 2/3 of medical schools are headed by CEOs who have financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Medicine as practiced in this country is based on treating complaints with medications. It is NOT based on looking for root causes. Even "preventive care" is pharmaceutical in...

    I use pretty much the same recipe but use 2 eggs and brown sugar. Yum!

    My husband was on colchicine for gout (which is autoimmune, I believe). He found that it did reduce occurrences, but if he wasn't careful to drink enough, his kidneys would hurt, so he stopped taking it. I don't know if there are any other side effects. Is there a support site/forum for the FMF? Gluten definitely gives me both more appetite and more...

    Thanks for the link, purple. I noticed at the very bottom of the article the part about donating polio vaccines to third world countries. It's already been established that live virus polio vaccines is responsible for outbreaks of--polio--in India and China. I guess that they're donating it for two reasons: to look good, and because they're catching...

    The genetic test can rule celiac in, but not rule it out. Here in the US, doctors recognize 2 genes as being linked with celiac. In Europe and Asia, SEVEN are recognized. Here on this board, there are several members who posted in the last 2-3 years that they were biopsy-diagnosed with celiac disease, yet they did NOT have either of the 2 genes...
