Hey ,

Thank you for noticing. I had gotten a personal email complaining

about just that, asking why I feel I must reply to everyone's

posting here. I thought it was not only riduculous but rude. I

reply simply because I want to. This group is together not because

of me but because of the wonderful people invited here. I'm

thankful for each and every input from others and that's how I show

it.

Great news about your candida. I think these things happen to us to

remind us why we're doing what we're doing and to motivate us to

keep going. I have so much to learn but feel I've learned so much

already. I'm thankful for it. I do wish I could snap my fingers

and know more. LOL

First part of today I ate so well. I made hijiki with onions,

carrots and tamari. Then I made brown rice and then a miso soup

with blended (so Marlie will eat it) kale, dandelion greens,

brocolli, and squash to have some sweet.

The acupuncturist was good today he pulled my toes, needled me and

figured my liver, spleen, urinary tract, stomach, etc are the

problems saying the last 2 toes were bothering me that coincide with

the organs. While he was pulling on my stomach toe (roflmao it

sounds so funny) my stomach started churning and frankly I felt

gassy. I told him, he said let it go need be I won't be the first

one. Well, I passed on passing. Marlie was hysterical on that

one.

Anyway he looked over what I've been eating and told me no more corn

chips (or corn which Verne told me last year too), no pea soup,

cocoa and no raspberries. Marlie and I went to the playground and

when we got home we were starving so what did I eat? Pea soup,

millet bread and chocolate cake when Marlie fell asleep, LOL well, I

had the food and I shouldn't throw it out it's a sin to waste food.

The cake was too rich and try as I might, I couldn't eat it.

I've seen kyolic here so next visit to WF I'll pick some up thanks

for the idea. When I told the acupuncturist that I have parasites

he was like why do you think that. I told him thinks he has

them, our signs are right for it, and that you thought so too and

the lines on my fingers. Well, he said the parasite lines on the

fingers don't run the length of the finger but horizontally. He

suggested we do the rocky mountain test or something like that some

sort of mountain stool sample-lovely! I figure it won't kill me to

just do the garlic and probiotic and the heck with it. The para gon

Lino told me to do was nasty!

I already sent Ilanit her ipod! LOL

Peace,

Reg
