Does anyone give iodine to their animals? I recently got a milk cow and it’s recommended to use a teat dip containing iodine. I’m wondering if I can make up my own, using lugol’s. Would using iodine on a cow translate into any appreciable iodine in her milk? I’m thinking that would be healthy for her AND an easy way to increase the family’s intake at the same time. (Or would it just be a waste since she doesn’t drink fluoridated water or store-bought food?) Also, I’m on my last bottle of 5% lugols and need more. Where is everybody getting it from now? J Crow? Thanks, happydog

The bath salt is not much bigger than the coarse grind and looks very similar, so I called and asked if it was edible. She said they don’t sell it for eating because it won’t fit in the grinder they sell but it’s still high quality salt and good to eat. $2.75 per pound for Himalayan salt is an excellent buy!

I bake with coconut oil a lot. Depending on which brand you use (how coconutty it tastes/smells) it won’t add a lot, if any, flavor to your cornbread. You’re right, ”thinking it may just lend a slight coconut essence”. Cooking kills the yogurt anyway so adding coconut oil to it won’t make any difference. An added benefit to using coconut oil to any baked goods is that it keeps them fresher for much longer. I use it instead of butter in cookies, breads, etc and I can leave them out at room temp (80F in my house) for days on end and they’re still soft and fresh with no staling or mold.

If you are a man or a postmenopausal woman you should be aware that molasses is high in iron which can build up in the body and is not easily eliminated when you get too much.

Then of course my hands smell like a wino’s corpse for a week, and we have to keep the windows closed till it rains, but boy does my garden take off!   [End]

In general ask for the highest deductible that won’t break you. When I was single my health insurance deductible was $5,000. I figured I could put that on a credit card if I had to. My insurance premium went from $300 a month to under $100. That saved $2,400 a year or $24,000 in 10 years. I hardly ever went to a doctor in my twenties and thirties. You’re buying insurance to cover you in an expensive emergency situation (like dropping a chain saw on your leg or blowing an appendix.) You aren’t looking for something to pay for monthly ”checkups” and pills. Be prepared to defend you ...

Try taking Emergen-C the morning after. It replenishes your electrolytes and instead of spending the day feeling tired, weak and headachey, you feel GREAT! You can get it at most health food stores and even Sprawl Mart.   [End]

I totally agree with Trapper. Also, if you are young and have no assets you have even less to worry about. If you run up a hospital bill you can’t pay, say $20,000 for an overnight stay, either they will work out payments for you (they’re real generous that way) or they will get Medicaid to cover your bill. Or you can do like everybody else and just walk out and owe them $20,000. It only stays on your credit report for 7 years. They can’t put you in debtors prison. Or you can take your medical business out of the country. I was in Costa Rica when my appendix blew out and I was i ...

I’m a bit wary about storing this at room temperature. Right now room temp is running 80 - 84 degrees. That seems awfully warm to let fruit sit out. Won’t it mold? If I leave fruit out on the counter it molds in a few days here. I’m thinking maybe I should store it in the fridge? Thank you so much for the tip about using ripe fruit! I found two little super ripe pineapples at a fruit stand at a flea market. ($2 each!) The car smelled like pineapple wine all day.   [End]

I tried it. It healed a little red mark (maybe old acne scar?) in just a few days and made my skin feel soft and smooth. I think it helped even out my complexion. It didn’t do much for the laugh lines around my eyes, but then I only tried it a few days. The drawback is applying it in liquid form. I’m going to make some of Sophia’s skin cream with urine and jojoba oil and start using it every day. I don’t wear foundation so I’m happy to find something that really helps the texture and the color of my skin. When I applied it to my hands it did smooth out the wrinkles just as well as ...

http://diamondorganics.com/ShowView/prod_detail_list/18 After the hurricanes took out my health food store I started ordering from Diamond Organics. Here is my favorite: http://diamondorganics.com/ShowView/prod_detail_list/423#399 The Original Organic Sampler. I like this one because the shipping is free and you get a nice selection of amazingly fresh produce that’s much better quality than I can get in the stores here. I also love the selection of baby greens.   [End]

If it ”burns away blockages in your bowels” how do you know it isn’t burning the bowel lining too? How do you know it isn’t stimulating your bowel to eliminate it fast because it’s doing damage? Does it burn coming out too? Yikes you’re brave to be the first one on the block to try that, lol!   [End]

Thanks, chiron! I bought an organic pineapple but it’s still pretty green. It was the only organic one I could find but it’s taking its sweet time ripening up. So I guess I’ll abandon that one and go up to the store and hunt for a super ripe one. I don’t know anything about making vinegar but that makes sense. I just thought it was better to use organic, so thanks for telling me! I have some coconut vinegar I bought from Wilderness Family Naturals that I was thinking of using to make my pineapple vinegar - (I’m thinking Pina Colada vinegar) do you think that would work or should I ...

I like the Barleans and I really like their convenient squeeze bottle, but I recently tried the Whole Foods brand and it seemed to have more particulate and had a good flavor. It was also cheaper. So...I like them both.   [End]

It really depends on your particular body. I could eat a tablespoon or more of olive oil on every meal. My husband would think that was a nauseatingly greasy mess. I need much more fat in general than he does. He likes his food dry; I like it warm and with plenty of oil. I’m a vata, he’s a pitta. After I learned about Ayurveda I understood why we always order totally different meals in a restaurant and why we always argued about how much butter should go on our popcorn. Why I like my broccoli steamed with melted butter, he prefers it raw... Different thumps for different chumps ...

is made by the Bariani family in California. I buy it 4 bottles at a time and it’s not too expensive, especially considering that it’s 100% olive oil and organic. Here’s their website: http://www.barianioil.com/ I’ve been buying their oil for years now and its the best I’ve ever tasted.   [End]

”obsessive thinking only weakens your body ( spleen def.)” My acupuncturist says that I’m suffering from spleen deficiency and told me the same thing; that I need to stop studying/obsessing. (I didn’t tell her that I often spend the whole day on curezone) But I don’t understand WHY that weakens a spleen and she couldn’t explain it. I’ve tried looking it up and found plenty of info that says it but no one ever explains why or how that can weaken a spleen OR how I can fix it. Can you explain it or should I just accept it and break my curezone addiction? (Sorry to butt in on this ...

here’s how I did it: http://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=82&i=736#i It’s not about following diets, it all comes down to eating REAL foods instead of packaged foods and getting some exercise. Oh and keep your bowels and liver clean. I once had a trainer who summed up weight loss in just 3 little words - ”MOVE YOUR ASS!” He swore that’s all it takes, eat whatever you like and just get off your ass and move.   [End]

As long as I take a tablespoon of flax oil daily I don’t get pms. If I slack off for a while, sure enough I get it again. The other thing that I’ve found is important is to keep my guts clean. When my digestion is working well pms isn’t a problem. But when my digestion slows down I have problems with pms, skin problems, depression, bloating, and on and on. You gotta get the toxins out or you suffer the consequences. But the flax is the main thing. I must have been really low in omega 3s because I used to get really horrible pms.   [End]

You can tell if you’re low in magnesium by taking a hot bath with two cups of epsom salts (magnesium sulfate.) If you feel a lot better the next morning then you know you were low in magnesium. It’s a quick test, it can’t hurt, and you will probably feel fantastic really fast.   [End]

I’m putting in an order and looking at all the goodies on their website to try. What are some of their other products that you like? I’m going to try the powdered coconut milk for my son who’s just given up dairy. And I’m looking at the Coconut Vinegar; anybody ever try that? I want to make some pineapple vinegar and coconut vinegar sounds like a natural to make it from. Thanks for any input!   [End]

Two main points I’d like to make - 1. Be very careful about letting a ”regular” dentist do mercury removal. Before you let any dentist work on your teeth, do yourself a favor and read the amalgam forum at the very least. I not only read through the forum for months, I read several books about alternative dental practices. A dentist who doesn’t use the proper removal protocols can really make your situation worse. 2. Before you agree to any root canals please read the root canal forum and educate yourself about what you are really in for. Here’s my dental story: http://curez ...
