Guest guest Posted October 1, 1999 Report Share Posted October 1, 1999 Re: Message 7- I have read somewhere that as we get older, our systems become more alkaline. ALong with apple cider and or lemon juice, I would think acidophilis would be an option, so as to balance the acidity and alkaline levels. Even hormone imbalances and stress can daily effect their levels, and acidolphilis would be good to use on a daily basis. Anyone agree?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2000 Report Share Posted May 4, 2000 Re. Bringing husbands to the get together -- I agree with whomever said that someone has to come watch the kids while us moms gab!! But seriously, I would love my husband to come. He has been involved in a few entrepreneurial ventures over the last few years. And when you have your own business, your hours are terrible. We don't see him as often as we'd like, and he is hardly involved in the DS part of my/Eli's life. He comes to the IEPs etc, but he's never been to a session with our private speech therapist or PT. I think he has not come to terms with how the DS has changed our lives. So I think it would be good for him to come and start trying to extend his involvement in that part of our lives. My husband has a brother 4 years younger than him, and I know he was hoping when I was pregnant with the twins that at least one would be a boy so our older son could have a great brother relationship like he had. Well, one was a boy, and they have a great relationship, but I think my husband has not fully dealt with the fact that it's not the relationship he had in mind. He has not fully grieved for what was lost. Which in NO WAY I mean to take away from what a great person Eli is. It's that damn extra chromosome. is a wonderful, loving, playful, sensitive and giving father and husband. He simply hasn't had the time, or hasn't chosen to make the time, to deal with what I think could be an emotional time bomb for him. But as I babble on I realize this is stuff for our therapist! (I started going on my own, he came with me a few times and then started seeing her on his own!) Count me in for an East Coast get together. love debbi mom to Logan (almost 6) Eli (DS) and Milo 3 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Hi Have you tried flexeril for the cramping? It works very good for me....the only drawback is it makes me little sleepy....and we all know how tired us CMT people get anyway without the meds.....just a thought....

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Hi, ... I haven't tried Flexeril since being diagnose with CMT. I used it prior to a lower back surgery in 1978. I think it worked for spasms if I remember right. Maybe I'll as my doctor about it ... thanks for reminding me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Just had to add mytwo cents too.My went from clinging and screaming anytime we went somewhere to I want to do it myself.Mine was the same way.He didn't bat an eye about going on the bus and I too had the OK it is the second day here we go but mine is the est behaved. For me this is great because before he could talk he used to be the worst behaved and I would take a deep breath before I picked him up to say OK what did he do.Now he is the best behaved!Let me know how it goes he may really surprise you.Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 i don't have any easy sprouters. My kitchen space is very small.

Normally you have to purchase the parasite cleanse separately but it is best to do them both together. Actually, if one were to do an extended bowel cleanse (two to four weeks) then I would say to start with the bowel cleanse for one week and then add in the parasite cleanse. This way you weaken the parasites and it is much easier to elimate them. Anything you get should have wormwood, black walnut hull, pumpkin seed, cayenne, garlic at least and maybe even cloves. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I think also it would be good to be taking some soothing herbs like slippery elm during a cleanse like this to ease some of the discomfort involved in blasting these parasites out. Intestinal Cleanse #2 was formulated for just such a need. I'd hate to have to feel sick while making myself well if I didn't really have to.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 -Thanks! Well, I don't know about 600, easily well over 300 or 400 though. Some are just sucky but I have an obsession. I try and " clean house " once in a while and usually just get reid of one or two. My favorite is the original Advanced Live Taebo 2. Its what really drew me into Taebo and the music " Paperback novel " bein one of the songs ..love it. As for non-Taebo tapes....some faves include anything Rodney Yee, Minna Lessig Strength and Grace, Kathy Time Saver Cardio, Tamilee Web tighter assets, and an old Jazzercise tape that is 15 min long. They are all older but they are the tapes I turn to when I am unmotivated or undecided. Today I did Taebo Bootcamp Abs--some moves very easy others...youch. We'll see how my mid section feels tomorrow. I also did Taebo Bootcamp Basic training and two sections of Afro-Brazilian Cardio workout by the Method. I LOVED this one. I got it from Blockbuster's netflix like service and I'm going to buy it. Perfect as a fun add on or hobby tape. Not for the uncoordinated though. Well Terry is demanding I get offline ;-) Don't stress !!!!! a -- _______________________________________________ NEW! Lycos Dating Search.

Ileana, Who's got a 19 litre container? If it was that big a container it would produce a huge scoby to go with it (I guess its circumference will be big as well). Starter liquid for that quantity would be about 2 litres. I brew the bulk of my Kombucha in nine 4 - 5 litre special foodgrade plastic buckets which I bought from a Kombucha utensils supplier. These work fine and show no sign of deterioration. As these buckets are oval in shape, so are the scobys: huge ovoids. I use one of the same buckets as 'container for slimy creatures' plus KT which gets nicely acidic for my own starters. There are also quite a number of glass jars with Kombucha and water kefir .... ....get the idea, my kitchen is overrun with my slimy friends. This morning the atmosphere in the kitchen was so strongly kombuchic, I knew immediately: Today is bottling time for 4 of my buckets (about 19 litres). Did I mention 19 litres and give you the idea of having just one 19 litre container? I wish ..... ;-) Blessings, Margret:-) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Minstrel@... www.therpc.f9.co.uk +---------------------------------------------------------------+ You need both blessings and difficulties, because one without the other is neither.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 The plastic doesn't impart any kind of taste to the kombucha? I think I was reading somewhere that this can happen with plastic. I'm wondering because you can get 6.5 (25L) or 7.9 (29L) gallon plastic buckets from wine brewing supply stores. I was thinking of using these before but I figured it would impart some kind of taste. michael.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hi , I home brew beer and I use a small beer keg with the top cut out. It is food grade stainless steel, so it would be safe to use.I think the small beer kegs are 7.5 gallons and the big ones are 15 gallons. Sometimes you can get them at a liqueur store or at Sabco. They have a lot of different containers with spigots. I will try to post the link.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 thanks... that's interesting - never thought to use a keg. Still curious about brewing in food grade plastic buckets though. I assume if it is good enough for wine, it should be good enough for kombucha as well. michael. Mike Tina wrote: >Hi , >I home brew beer and I use a small beer keg with the top cut out.

Hi , IMHO just because a container is used for something else doesn't necessarily mean it's appropriate. A fellow kt brewer here in my town just switched to plastic - she was not concerned about leaching - in fact, she said it tasted better. Hmmmm....I'm thinking if it's affecting the flavor - whether good or bad - it's imparting some of it's components. Which, in the case of plastic that something would be petroleum based. With all the other brewing vessels available - both large and small - why take the chance? Drink Safe...Randie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
