Glenda,

I posted the email newsletter about the recent congressional hearing.

Would you please write and tell them how they did not provide you ANY

info. The more letters they get...the less the media, etc. can say it

is just a few people who don't get the info.

It doesn't need to be a fancy letter.

Thanks.

are you sure that you are using 100% lye and not drain opener?

I have never heard of lye being in blue chunks, double check you can and

make sure the words drain opener are not on the bottle

Hi Lulu. If you'd like some pretty comprehensive instructions for both cold and

hot

soap making, you can go here:

http://www.naturesapprentice.com/makesoap.htm

There are also a collection of links here, with various sites explaining soap

and if

you scroll down you will find a link to the lye calculator on the Majestic

Mountain

Sage site. Run all your ingredients through the calculator and check your water

and

lye content against what is given:

http://home.earthlink.net/~wizardwiz/soap.htm

The best way for you to determine what you did wrong is to think about what you

did

as you read the instructions on the page above, and to check your ingredients

against the calculator.

Then make another batch and let us know how you did.

Hi everyone,

I am back from my trip and wanted to say hi and tell you that I missed

talking with all of you.

I recieved a message from someone asking if she could do Life Lift while

pregnant and I wanted to share my answer with some of you who may have the

same question.

Here is a short version of her question.

>Hello everyone. I'm glad to be a part of this group. There is so much that

needs to be questioned about vaccinations. I would not be doing so had my

third child not had an unsettling reaction to her first series of shots at

age 2 months. My older two children did not have any noticable problems

and are " fully " vaccinated. I must admit, I had severe reservations about

allowing them to give my daughter those shots. Dtap, comvax(hib, hep ,

ipv, prevnar. For one thing, that is just to dang many shots for such a

small baby. Anyway, she slept most of the day and just couldn't wake up

enough to nurse well. Later that evening, she developed a fever of 102.4.

Her eyes were glassy, she didn't move, her breathing was rapid and shallow.

She also sighed and moaned with every breath she took. She did't look right

to me or my husband. Within a matter of hours she recovered. (thanks be to

God!)

>What she went through, regardless of what any vaccine manufacturer or CDC

handout sheet says, was NOT normal. My husband and I have since decided to

forego the shots. I heard that a low birth weight could mean not

vaccinating. Would anyone know if 5lbs 11.8oz would be considered low? You

would think a doctor would have told me yay or nay, but thus far none have.

Thanks for listening.

I'm so sorry - no matter what the weight - vaccinating is dangerous - even

Hi " kapesto " ,

I also followed Atkins, yrs ago, but found FIT FOR LIFE

included fruit for breakfast.

This worked for me. I still lost weight by eating fruit only in the

mornings upon awaking. I also have my tea in the mornings. It

doesn't seem to bother with diluting my stomach digestive tract.

Then eat ER4YT for the rest of the day.

Do not eat any more fruit, unless on empty stomach.

This worked for me since 1986.

another.

Keeping a food journal like this is always a good idea, and something

and I usually recommend to people trying to figure out where to start. It's

so important to find out not only when and what you're eating but *why* -

are we eating out of boredom or anger or are we truly hungry?

Dear Analytical,

It is always best to have plan of action! Good for you for asking!

I suggest first purchasing a review book. In your case you may want

to buy a book on pharmacology as well. Please go to my files section

and read my 'reveiw' of the study guide and review books for

certification. this willhelp you to choose a good book.

Secondly use one of the many sties that I have listed in my link

section that will help you to know about drugs. Medicinenet.com or

rxlist.com for starters.

Use the drug topics top 200 drugs list also in the link section, to

direct you as to what drugs youn eed to look up andor study.

1. Make flash cards with trade, generic, classification and

interactions on them.

2. As I have stated before if you make two decks you can

play " conentration " with them.

3. Read my Tutorial on how to study ormemorize trade and generci and

classifications. Give it a try

4. Decide to learn 3 ro 5 or 19 new drugs each day. Review the drugs

daily before learning new ones.

Hoep this helps you or soemone reading this...

Good luck!

When I was about 12 that dog thing came in real great for me. I used

to walk two English sheep dogs for the neighbors down the street from

me, and of course they both had 1 blue and 1 brown eye. And one day

when I was walking the dogs an ice cream truck came by and stopped to

see the dogs, when she saw that I had different colored eyes, and

that the dogs did too, she gave me a free popsicle.

Of course now that I am 35, I am sure that would never happen.....

and it would take more than a free popsicle to win me over.

Ninalynn,

I don't know anything about NT, but I sure hope this works for you.

Personally, I'd be freaking out big time! I just read Melinda's post, so maybe

that's

how this works. Still scares me tho. You'll know or figure out if this is

the right way for you. If you want to post what you ate and all each day, go a

head. That's a great idea and a way some can see what they are actually

eating. In the end you're the only one who can decide if this is the way for

you.

If it isn't, then it isn't, and don't let anyone tell you different. We're

all different. Another thought is tweaking it to work for you. I just don't

think any one plan is perfect, without tweaking by some. Just a thought...

Love and Blessings,

Kiki

[Guest guest]

Don't get discouraged yet, Ninalynn - I gained for a couple of months and now

I'm finally in a losing mode. I've lost about 7 lbs in the last 2 weeks. I

feel so much better, though. Eating on time sure makes a difference. It's a

bit of an adjustment remembering to take quality food with me. Hang in there!

Melinda )

Hi!

Where is everyone today?

Curiosity got the best of me this morning and I weighed myself. I am

up 4 lb since starting NT my way. Oh well. I am trying to remain

positive.

I am not going to measure for a solid week. Saturday morning seems

soooo far away. I really hope I lose something!

I think I will start a daily posting of what I did each day.

What can changing the way you breathe do for you? Everything!

See why tens of thousands agree, Life Lift is the best!

That's very true, Kiki! I had to tweak the NT by combining it with WW's Core
