Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi, I have used a weighted blanket when my now 6yr. old was 2-3 yrs. old and it did work, it made him calm and relaxed. You have to make sure the right amount of weight is in it. An O.T. can assist with this. He is now around 6o pounds and is not really interestd in it. Every now and then I try to reintroduce it. > > first a big Hello to the new members, I have been MIA for awhile.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I have never used a weighted blanket but my son loved to go to sleep with a heavy rolled up blanket across his middle. I have a low-functioning autistic son (age 7), a high-functioning asperger son (age 15) and aspergers myself. It is really odd having both ends of the spectrum. We are so different yet so similar. > > first a big Hello to the new members, I have been MIA for awhile.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I know that Unjury can be added to sugar-free jello & will set up. We tried vanilla powder with sugar-free strawberry kiwi jello and unflavored powder with sugar-free black cherry jello. The Unjury website has several recipes on it. We did a big cooking demo at our support groups right before Thanksgiving & those were a couple of things we made. I don't remember if we followed the " jiggler " recipe or the regular jello recipe. I think it was the " jigglers " though. I haven't tried Beneprotein in jello-only unsweetened applesauce, yogurt, etc. We've also tried ProStat in sugar-free apple cider. I don't like the way Wild Cherry ProStat tastes by itself, but our patients actually liked it in the cider. I am sure you could use other protein powders if the water was less than 130 degrees.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 If your house is that cold I think you have a few options.. others could probably give you more - I just started myself. But maybe you could put it on top your fridge (mine is always warm) and wrap a towel around it for insulation (but not the top, of course). Otherwise, I have seen kombucha warmers online so that you can keep your KT on a warmer. the warmer supposedly keeps it at 80-85 degrees F. Hope you figure it out! sarah a few questions Hi all, I had a few questions for all of you. I've had a scoby for 6 months or so, but haven't been having good luck. A few of the batches molded, and I read somewhere to add apple cider vinegar (to a new scoby), which I did. Later I read the ACV should be pasturized, so as not to introduce another culture. Oops, mine was raw. So does this mean the culture doesn't contain the right, well, cultures anymore? (Sorry, I'm not very articulate here.) Also, it seems to be taking forever for my scoby to have babies, or even get acidic. My house is pretty cold - between 60 and 65 F. (Cold to me, at least.) It didn't reproduce at all in my cold kitchen. Now it's in a slightly warmer room, and there are very thin babies forming, but slowly. (I'm letting it form a little " hotel " in there.) It's about half full in a gallon jar. My question is, is anyone brewing in a cold house and having it produce enough to drink daily? I've been craving this stuff since I tried it, but have hardly had 4 glasses total in all the time I've had it! I would appreciate any advice that you could offer. I really wanted to make KT myself, rather than buying it. Thanks! Tabitha __________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I read that someone put their Kombucha Tea in an ice chest with a light bulb to keep it warm.

In fact, the Acetobacter species present in unpasteurized ACV is likely to be identical with one of the species already in the kombucha, if only due to the fact that, throughout the New World, it's one of the more common soil bacteria, and so presents in significant amount in the air. This is why you can start a vinegar culture from scratch on wood shavings (if you're into culturing your own Mother of Vinegar). > Also, it seems to be taking forever for my scoby to have > babies, or even get acidic.

My > question is, is anyone brewing in a cold house and having > it produce enough to drink daily? I'm using a 1-gallon sun tea jar and my house stays between 55 and 65 -- I've not lit the heater for the winter, and don't think I'll need to. The trick is to only drink a bit while establishing the continuous culture. Kombucha is different from kefir in that the entire complement of microbiota is present in suspension -- which is why you can get a scoby from plain unfiltered kombucha. So getting a good suspended culture (as well as in the dead yeast and such that form on the bottom of a continuous culture) going is paramount. Now I can drink a half a gallon a day if I want, as long as I give it a day to catch up from major consumption like that. I generally drink 8-16floz a day.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Again, my knowledge on these things is limited. But can give what I know. I don't think there has ever been a malaria vaccine, but they do have a course of medication they give as a so called protection. I do remember hearing about a vaccine in the works though. Not that this is any surprise. I am not sure on the typhoid vaccine. And as far as polio goes. The SV40 was supposedly taken out of the vaccine in the early 60s. Yet now we know that our children are getting cancers from the SV40 virus. Showing that it was still in the vaccine. If they say that it is no longer in the polio vax, then why would we believe them anyway. I don't know if it is in the schedule anymore. Mainly because I don't keep up with what they recommend, as I do not vax. Which is most likely the same reason you don't know yourself. We do still hear of polio outbreaks that are caused by the vaccine, so there must be one that is being given. Just not sure if they have changed it. At the end of the day, the majority of my research steers more towards the staying healthy side of things. I tend to get the general gist of most scientific stuff. But really find it hard to read everything and fully understand. This vaccine issue, and all the subjects surrounding it, is huge. Fieldman A Few Questions Is there a malaria vaccine? If so, was it ever used in the U.S.? Was the typhoid vaccine ever routinely given in the U.S.? Are the polio vaccines given today in the U.S. or any other countries still contaminated with SV40?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Yeah I know the polio vax is still in the schedule, I'm not sure how many doses though, but I think it is the injectable one. I also think they still give the oral polio vax in third world countries. > > Again, my knowledge on these things is limited. But can give what I know.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 They use the oral polio vaccine elsewhere--India, Africa. Not here. We have the killed virus vaccine now. They stopped using the oral vaccine sometime after 1992 (after my oldest two had already been given it). Winnie A Few Questions > > > Is there a malaria vaccine?

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Many have different ways and theories. Here is mine:) Instead of vaseline try bag balm make thick as tar. Bag balm can be bought at feed mills or tractor supply. For bedding fels naptha homemade enzyme and borax. Use wintergreen alcohol on bedding before sleeping. For scalp and body use yellow sulfur mixed with lye lotion shampoo hair and body. Mix lye lotion and sulfur with bender or mixer, shake well before using. http://www.soapsgonebuy.com/Fels_Naptha_Soap_p/dial1001.htm 1/3 cup shaved naptha 6 cups water bring to rolling boil turn heat off add 1/4 cup borax and 6 cups cool water stir for 24 hours and before use can be used right away. http://www.o3enzyme.com/enzymeproduction.htm I use lemons grapefruit and peppermint leaves, and brown sugar. http://www.soapsgonebuy.com/Pure_n_Simple_Lye_Soap_p/ly1001.htm Add flower of sulfur to this in your blender. http://www.pennherb.com/cgi-bin/herbstore.cgi/herb?;Sulphur LYE SOAP LOTION - HOW TO MAKE IT ( same process to make shampoo, dish soap and plant spray as well ) To make a lotion out of the soap it is really very easy. In fact it is a good way to recycle those small pieces left over from the shower. To make the lotion just take several small pieces and mix them with water. We recommend you use either a spring water or a distilled water. Something that has the impurities removed. Especially if your using the lotion for a skin allergy or something of the like. They put so many things in city water any more you don't know what you may be mixing into your lotion thus maybe even irritating your condition further. Also you may need to add a little heat when trying to get the soap and water mix if the pieces are really hard. Not much heat just a bit. Anyway just mix in enough water and stir it until you get the consistency you want for your lotion or dish soap or shampoo, whatever it is your making the mix for. Now be sure to put your mix into something relatively air tight so it won't dry right back out. If you need to take it with you in your purse or something just get a small squeeze bottle or a zip lock bag that your sure won't leak. We have also been told if you thin down the solution enough you can use it as a plant spray to keep unwanted bugs away from your plants. WHAT MAKES LYE SOAP SO SPECIAL? Actually what makes our soap special is because what it is - it is All Natural. It is simply water, lard and lye. All natural products. We do not add any hardeners, fragrances, perfumes or dyes, etc. The soaps we do offer that you can smell comes from all natural oils to create that wonderful memory of Grandma's place. In fact the main special ingredient in our soap comes from the natural process called soponification. The process that takes place when the soap is cooked properly creates a wonderful glycerin content that nearly all commercial soap makers separate out and sell off to cosmetic companies and such. We don't do that - we leave it right in the soap like it was meant to be. We believe the glycerin to be the natural healing ingredient that makes lye soap so special and also helps keep the wrinkles away. Most people guess me to be about 15 years younger than I really am. I have also found the spring tonic keeps biting insects and parasites away, perhaps just the smell? Also start on MSM. I can buy the sulfur and quality MSM at my local feed mill. http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.aspx?ID=2066 > > I am slowly getting better with the dandruff mite. My environment is good and I believe my bed and pillows are clean. Is there a good product to wash down the vinyl covers? I keep the zippers on all casings duct taped and make sure they don't come undone. Would it help the flip the mattress? I haven't noticed any bites in bed lately. I have spent the last three nights in sulfur/vaseline mix. The iver is helping. I just notice a little crawling at night but nothing like I used to. Do oils help such as tea tree oil, neem oil or even olive oil? Would these help the young ones stop from mating? I've been having some issues with my scalp. This started with soaking in the bath tub but that is getting better. I do a lot of cleaning and laundry. I don't wear the same things twice and try to rotate clothing. Can you dilute tto in cocunut oil to apply to skin? Thanks. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Wipe vinyl covers down with rubbing alcohol I prefer wintergreen, or fels naptha mixed with water and homemade enzyme. > > I am slowly getting better with the dandruff mite. My environment is good and I believe my bed and pillows are clean. Is there a good product to wash down the vinyl covers? I keep the zippers on all casings duct taped and make sure they don't come undone. Would it help the flip the mattress? I haven't noticed any bites in bed lately.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Something I forgot to add, I soak my hairbrushes and combs in straight ammonia in a gallon jug with lid. I shake the jug well after putting brushes comps in. Rinse well before use. > > I am slowly getting better with the dandruff mite. My environment is good and I believe my bed and pillows are clean.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I've been microwaving my brushes. Also, I buy really cheap brushes from Walmart for $2 each and toss them after a while.L.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 That is an idea, don't they melt? I have used ammonia for over a year I could probably change now to something less caustic like fels naptha borax lye, ect > > > > > > > > I am slowly getting better with the dandruff mite.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 My brushes don't melt in the microwave, but I watch them carefully and put the temp on a lower setting. In the early days of Morgellons I did microwave clothing, and believe me, those critters were all over inside the microwave. They could not tolerate it. A mess to clean them all up out of there and were afraid for a while to use the microwave after that, but we had to get over the fear. The microwave was perfectly safe after I cleaned it up. L.
