    My doc had me on turmeric as well - for ITP, another autoimmune disease. Interestingly, the combination turmeric, ashwaganda, zinc, and boswellia has shown to be a potent arthritis pain medication in dogs and humans. The symptoms decrease even if the actual problems stay the same. It may not have been R. Arthritis...I can't recall. I'll try to look...

    Hey all. I'm working on a project with an Iraqi-American who lives in Seattle. I mention her background because socially speaking, eating with people and/or cooking for people is of the utmost importance in their culture. Every time I drive the hour and a half to see her, she wants to repay my efforts with food, and I honestly feel I am offending her when...

    My food co-op has it; it lives with the cheese. Or you can probably order it online. Open Original Shared Link Good luck. It's yummy!

    Hey everyone! I wanted to share an email xchange I had with a company that imports and distributes a most wonderful fruit bread. It was the best communication I've had so far. On 5/31/06 8:46 PM > Hello! I very much enjoy the Matiz date bread. I am wanting to try the > Matiz fig bread, but it has an ingredient listed that I must first >...

    If I'm not mistaken, calcium and iron can't be taken at the same time (put in your mouth and swallowed at the same time) because they block one another. I'll double check this.

    I swear, I kept KRAFT in business when I was a kid. As an adult I switched over to Annies - but I just craved and craved and craved. Quitting diary put an end to that. Boo hoo. What is it about mac & cheese anyway.

    I've been having more fun with salads by adding things that seemingly don't make sense: asparagus, green beans...AND I have the best dressing that I make which is to squeeze a mineola (really sweet orange), a bit o lemon squeezed, some balsamic, salt and pepper, a dash of sugar...mix all up, then slowly wisk in the olive oil. It frothes up....very nice...

    I wonder why you're drinking distilled water (sorry, I didn't read entire post so maybe someone mentioned this). Distilled water has had all of the life-giving force taken out of it by removing any mineral content. You might want to think about drinking spring water or filtered water, and you might think about adding a nice pink salt like Himalayan salt...

    I know that I craved potatoes all the time, and am intolerant to them. After a while, I stopped wanting them. (Thank goodness for sweet potatoes, of the marigold family -- they make good fries!)

    mercola.com sells some, though it's not the kind I was using. I got mine at the food co-op/healthfood store. It's about $9/bottle, but has all the trace minerals in it. I'm going to go see if I kept the empty bottle...nope. My nutiritonist suggested "Real Salt" by someone or another.. Here are some websites about Himalayan salt: http://www.himalayancrystalsalt...

    I love this soap. However, keep it out of the flow of your shower water when you're not using it. I mean, if you've got a hanging shower caddy that hangs from your shower head, you might find your soap disintigrates quickly. Good stuff, though.

    The hair loss could be from gluten in your hair products. Check for what protein and wheat germ in there. There are some other ones...alcohol maybe ... that could be from gluten. wow...I hope you get some answers soon.

    I just had a nice quinoa salad from my coop: green onions, black beans, quinoa, lime, cilantro, cumin, corn It was great!

    I scoped the site and couldn't find the same data. I suggest googling blood test definitions or blood count or something...someone must have something online about it.
  15. BRUMI1968
    At some point, I printed out blood chemistry definitions from a website called: www.carbonbased.com/definitions.htm. I don't know if they are still around or not. Here's what it says for ALK Phosphatase: Produced in the cells of bone and the liver with some activity in the kidney, intestine, and plancenta, it is mostly found in an alkaline state...

    I have been looking at a great website called The World's Healthiest Foods. It's really great! Open Original Shared Link It tells you the history, the good stuff, and the bad stuff about 100 or so foods. (If it's not on the worlds 100 most healthy, then they don't discuss it.) They also have recipies, and info specific to certain disorders like diabetes...

    There are some studies to suggest that folks with auto-immune diseases should avoid high protein diets. That's not to say they should get busy eating white rice bread, but watching what kinds of carbs you eat does not necessarily mean pounding down the protein. I only eat fish and eggs for animal protein, and am currently waiting on eggs until my digestion...

    As to almond butter - it tastes very good on sandwiches and the like; not so good as peanut butter right from the jar. One idea is to get it raw instead of roasted. It is very gooey, but is healthier. The taste, though, might be better in the roasted kind, I've not had it. -Sherri

    Yeah, Himalayan pink salt is the same. You'll go broke eating it, but it's yummy and nutritious.

    I haven't seen my test results. I'm going to request to see the lab work come Monday. I was told I had "mild" celiac. Anyway, it's been a month now and I feel better (no canker sores, almost no itching) in most ways (though the C is back with a vengeance - now starting to clear up on my new diet of slow cooked brown rice and veggies 24/7), other than the...

    I just this morning took slow cooked brown rice from the day before, added a chopped up apple and cooked it another 1/2 hour with water (or pear juice if you like), then ate it. It was pretty good, and the most filling breakfast I've had in a while. I did have to add quite a bit of sweetner: I usually only add maple syrup, not eating refined sugar for the...

    I just bought this stuff from my co-op called "Seasoning" made by Lydia's Organics in California. It's weird, but it tastes good. It contains: dehydrated carrots, celery, parsley, sprouted seeds (sunflower, almond, flax) herbs, and himalayan crystal salt. She says it's all organic and all gluten, sugar, and oil free. She also makes cereal and crackers...

    All this talk of the tapioca bread; I just bought it and used it to make a salmon burger. It was good. It took a lot less away ffrom the salmon burger and mayo/mustard than did the brown rice bread.

    Another thing I thought of is to not necessarily believe in the exclusivity of each part of our bodies - the colon being the colon, the arm being the arm ... they are all connected. And in this way, alternative medicine can often be a good choice. I see an Ayurvedic doctor from India. Ayurved means science of life, and it is thousands of years old. ...

    Sometimes, metaphors help. One I use: If life is a journey, which I think we could say it is, at least in the terms of time and movement and experience and the like, then your body is the vehicle with which you take this journey. I would rather go on a long roadtrip in a finely tuned volvo or mercedes than my old 76 chevette with four cylinders (sometimes...
