    Sherry, I think I will try the Kirkman's. How many pills do you use for 1 quart of milk? You might have told me but I went straight to the starter I found in the store. I have tried kefir from the store and it is very tart. I bought one that was made from goat milk that had blueberry flavor. My son liked it, but I am sure it has sugar. I would...

    I just checked my yogurt starter and here are the ingredients: skin milk powder, sucrose, ascorbic acid, lactic bacteria (bulgaricus, thermophilus lacidophilus) I swear I thought I read this brand was okay for scd (Yogourmet) but sucrose is illegal. Any thoughts?

    My son loves it runny. (He's the one with the gut issues for the most part.) I call it yogurt milk and I put it in a cup and treat it like a drink! I think I'll try that. I don't want to heat it too much for that kills the good stuff found in honey. But a little heat probably would be okay. Do you know why I couldn't put the honey in before fermenting...

    I do think water can contribute and I think it was the contributing factor in the one the other night. The reason I think that is because I felt like both leg muscles felt tight like any part of of my legs could cramp up at any minute. It wasn't just the calf. I *felt* kind of dehydrated, too. There are definately other contributing factors to...

    Mine always happen in my calf. I haven't had them in a LONG time. The wierd thing was I couldn't stretch it out because then the front muscles started cramping. Feeling like I was going to pass out if I kept standing wasn't helpful at all! I have been drinking lots of water today. I did a pinch of salt a few times with a big glass. I think I'll...

    Sherry, I have actually heard of that before. My co-worker runs marathons and constantly gets leg cramps. She says the soap has helped her more than anything. She also drinks the tonic water. I felt a little better after the cal/mag. I think I went all week without drinking enough water. Then last night I had a glass of wine. i think that...

    Glad Kassandra is doing a bit better..... I am so glad the weekend is here. This has been a tough week! Andrea, Have fun on your kid-free weekend! We all need those sometimes. Tonight I woke up with the worst leg cramp. Then I almost passed out! Leg cramp woke me from a dead sleep and I jumped up out of the bed so fast. Then I got real...

    Nora, What's LDN?

    Yes, I remember reading that you put it straight in the fridge. Wonder why that is? This time I stirred in the honey very gently while it was still warm. I hope this works because Trying to blend it up in the blender each time takes up a huge amount of time. Tonight I made apple muffins, but instead of muffins I made it like a cake. It turned out...

    So, by that you mean ramp up on chlorella, activated charcoal, and zeolite? I can try that.....plus I need to do a detox bath. I ordered some magnesium chloride flakes. Today it seemed a bit better. Last night I took adrenal support, magnesium, and enzymes that fight inflammation. I *think* the massage stirred up toxins and stressed the adrenals...

    Has anyone gotten an update from Kassandra? Rachel, I think you make a very good argument. But, when you are having such reactions, how do you NOT take out the foods? I think I did became deficient in calcium over time by taking dairy out of my diet for so long. I figure if I would have done the SCD diet from the get go, I might have healed more by...

    pericardial effusion is like having too much fluid around the heart. Or too much fluid in the pericardial cavity. Can come on with viral infections, other infections or inflammatory conditions. Good thing is that it could go away on its own especially when these other situations are under control. Sounds like the lyme, co-infections and the other...

    Hi all! I think I am going to have to mix honey it the yogurt after its done fermenting while its still warm. When I try to mix it cold, it just globs up. Any ideas for making it sweet and yummy? My daughter won't eat it at all if its the slightest tart. My son likes it though so that's great! I made my daughter some made from whole organic...

    there is a convention here this weekend called "raising healthy kids in a toxic world" and they are talking about Autism, Add, nutritional and natural approaches, toxins in vaccines, mercury,ect. I think they said Holly Robinson Pete was going to be there too. They had some info on NPR - National Public Radio if anyone is interested. I am going to...

    Kassandra, I don't know if it might be too late to try it, considering you are in so much pain, but Gold Coin Grass (herbal) dissolves gallstones and takes the pain away within a week for most people. The problem is I think you have to order it. I couldn't find it locally. It worked very well for me. It's a decoction so the herb is in alcohol. ...

    So you put a pot with some water in it on top of the heating pad? Hmmm......I might need to try that method. Maybe I could get my money back for this yogurt maker because its heating the yogurt too hot. I need something that stays at 110. Everytime I have made yogurt the temps rose over 110. I now have the yogurt maker's lid propped open to ventilate...

    I used one a heating pad the first time. Just a regular one that you get in the drugstore for putting on injuries or whatever. I stuck inside the crock pot (crock pot off) and put the jars of yogurt on top. Then put the lid on. I noticed that heat built up inside after a few hours and I had to turn the heating pad down to Med. I thought it was fine,...

    I used to, but once I started doing things to help the liver pathways, its MUCH better. As far as testing....i haven't had that much but the most beneficial for me was the Liver Detoxification Test by Genova. In addition, I had Igenex lyme testing, adrenal testing.....and thats about it. I still can't stand the smell of perfume, though...

    Have you ever had the vents cleaned? we had ours done after we moved in and had done a lot of work to the house. Plus we found lots of yuck in the vents. They guys said they sprayed something in there to "nuetralize" any mold - but not sure how accurate that is. You might be right. She is exhibiting no symptoms what so ever. And at least if...

    Paula, Is it in the tub/shower or is it growing in conspicuious places? is that a word? ha ha! I'll check into the Poke Root. we have plenty of that growing around here. It might be possible to do a phone consult with an LLMD?? I could do bioset to see if its even an issue. I would be very curious too!

    It has been about 2 months since the tick bite. I don't want to be over thinking it, but at the same time, some of you are very sick now due to tick bites from long ago and/or tick bites you never even knew you had. All I wanted was that stupid duck to give me 10 days of abx right after the tick bite. Is that too much too ask? Especially since he threw...

    I forgot to add from my ND appointment.....She was totally dismayed that my pediatrician wouldn't treat my daughter's tick bite in the first place but then not to treat her when the tick was positive for Ehrilichia was even worse! She said if I can find out the protocol, she would make it happen. Now to find out the protocol...???? There isn't as much...

    I saw the ND yesterday mainly to talk about my son. I want to try him on the SCD diet but need some back up evidence to get hubby's support. I don't think it would be a bad idea to do some testing on him anyway, since he hasn't had much. So, we are doing the CDSA 2.0 - Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis by Genova. Hopefully it will show what...

    Carla, I know I should go more!!! That's my problem - procrastination - busy-ness - blah blah! I am going to make an effort to NOT let it get this bad again. Also, on the weight loss - I don't know what you were going through last time but if I were to guess it was when you got really sick right before being treated for lyme?? If so, this...

    Today I made the muffins with almond flour. I put some raisans in some, blueberries in some and some were plain. I sent my little boy off to school with one for lunch. I haven't tried them yet, but my daughter ate one for breakfast so they can't be too bad! I sooooooooo need a housekeeper! Even if to just help with the housework!
