Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hey Stepha! When is the best time of week/day to get BF measured? I didn't do mine at the beginning of my challenge (march 15) I had it done in February but then delayed the beginning BFL. gina > I would reccomend going to a gym and having your BF tested > properly.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 as long as you get it done at the same time each time, you'll get a consistant result. But if you are starting a challenge, I suggest getting it done first thing Monday morning on an empty stomach, then each time after that on a Sunday BEFORE you start your free day eating festivities, because you will be carrying water on Monday morning. in NZ C1W12D6 > > I would reccomend going to a gym and having your BF tested > > properly.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Jeanine, I had that problem last winter. After months of waiting for the soap to shrink, I finally ran the molds under hot water to melt the soap a little. The detail wasn't as crisp but I didn't lose too much.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Patience is the key here. If, after leaving the soap in the freezer for a couple of hours and then running hot water over the backs of them and smacking them a couple of times doesn't work, then let them sit for a week and try again. If you force them, you'll likely end up with some of the soap coming out, but with some sticking to the molds. Ask me how I know. LOL.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Mine was the Green Man ~ only one lost enough detail to become my bar. It had come down to either heating it or just digging it out. Heating under running water worked. Good Luck! Let us know how you accomplish it!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 6 more hours in the freezer and then hot water on the back of the molds. All came out beautifully. I did lose one rectangle mold. The loaf molds were fine and Kokopelli is perfect. I'll post to FB when I get a chance. Don't know what happened this time. I've used the recipe many times.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I didn't put the loaf molds in the freezer, just hadn't cut them as soon as I usually do. Those soap gremlins...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Dear fellow health hobbyists, I have a problem that I thought I would describe to you-all in the hopes of learning more about it. Some years ago I had this excruciating pain in my toes that would happen for about 5 or 10 seconds and then be gone for 2 or 3 minutes. I solved the problem by rebounding (jumping on a mini- trampoline) for about 30 minutes a day for a few weeks. Rebounding supposedly moves lymph, and I believe it. It healed the pain. Yesterday, my puppy-zilla landed smack dab on the top of my left foot, and it hurt. But the worse was yet to come. It started the above pattern of pain for 10 seconds and relief for a minute or so, only just exactly where my puppy-zilla landed. Her landing on my foot barely qualified as an injury. It was a little scratch. But, obviously, there was some injury below the skin and above the bone. So, it started to do these throbs as described above, but only where my baby-girl landed with her paws. This became more of a problem because I could not sleep with the intermittent throbbing. I tried EFT, and that held the throbs off for as long I was doing EFT, but they just returned as bad as ever, and one cannot sleep while one is tapping. I tried rebounding, and that worked while I was rebounding, but again, I have been told by reliable sources that one cannot sleep while one is rebounding [sarcastic humor]. I tried kefir on the spot where it hurt. That didn't do anything, even though one would think that the placebo effect would help, since I am a kefir fanatic. I tried putting it in ice water, and that worked really good. It would continue to work for many minutes after I took my foot out of the ice water, but, again, it would come back. And it is impossible to sleep while one has one's foot in ice water. So, I did not fall asleep until 6:00 A.M. this morning and got only 3 hours of sleep. {I thank you for your condolences in advance.} So, today, it was OK, until I took a hot bath (and tried to catch a nap in the dark in the hot water). Well, surprise, surprise, it came back because of the hot water. It is much better now (1:11 P.M.), I guess because some healing as happened. But there is still a little pain. I am a pitta for you ayurvedic folks. I am 65 years old. I have been a health hobbyist for about 40 years, on and off. Any ideas and comments would help. Thank you in advance.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi , I just went through a mystery foot pain with my mother. She would have severe foot pain when she tried to walk and it was there in a less intensity when she sat. Per her PCP and because of her age I took her to many specialists (heart, vein, etc. . . ) and still to no avail we had no reason for the pain in her ankle. By the way, we hear she will live to be 100+ from all of the tests they did. We went through about 15 appointments in two months. Finally, the orthopedic listened to me and we had an MRI done on her ankle and found a small cyst in between her tendons. He gave her a choice between a cortizone shot (only once to try to avoid surgery) and orthoscopic surgery to remove it. He preferred the shot first as it sometimes reduces the inflammation enough that the cyst actually goes away. Mom makes and drinks kefir, eats healthy from scratch diet that is predominately organic and until a year ago walked on her treadmill everyday for years. She is 84. We really did not want to do the shot, however we also did not want to put mom through surgery needlessly and the pain was wearing her down and interfearing with her quality of life. We tried the shot. She is doing much better. Time will tell if the cyst actually goes away. If not, surgery (orthoscopic which is less invasive) is the next step. I also had a friend who had a mystery pain in his foot and it turned out to be to be gout. The point I am trying to make is that I would at least consider some non-invasive testing to see if they can figure out what is causing your pain and offer you solutions so you can decide if any of them are worth the risks or you can figure a treatment of your own or so you at least know what is wrong even if you decide you can live with the pain. Just a thought or two. I hope this helps some.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 , The best solution for pain I've found is acupuncture. Yes, it requires several visits to an acupuncturist who sticks you with thin little needles (that I barely felt), and you have to stay still for up to an hour with these needles sticking out of you. Buy my pain went away last year after 6 months of incessant pain in my arm. 5 Sessions and it was gone. I'm a believer - at least when it comes to pain.
