Two things you should know when soap making. The flash point of the

oil you are using and if you are buying from a good vendor.

If the soap heats up hotter than the flash point of any particular oil you

will

lose much of it due tot he heat. If you are doing cold process do not let

the

gel stage get hotter than your flash point...or use extra fragrance to make

up

for what will be flashed off.

If you are doing HP...cool the soap down to below the flash point (if

possible)

before adding. Another tip: Measure out your fragrance while the hp soap

starts to cook and put it in the frezer until needed. This will help cool

the soap

prevent flash off at the same time in cases of really low flash points.

The flash point will be on the fragrances MSDS sheet. Always ask for the

sheet when buying. If the vendor says they cannot supply one, find another

vendor cause they must provide to anyone who asks.

Hello everyone,

I make a batch on Sunday and the next day when I checked the soap,

the lavender essential oil that I incorporated to the batch at light

trace had evaporated. The quantity was 1tbsp of essential oil per

lb. Now that I think about it, the oil was not strong when I poured

in the mold.

What did happen?

Lesley,

I tried putting two bricks under each side of the head of my bed but felt like I was going to slid off the end of the bed on the floor. I thought about putting some type of bench at the end of the bed that would be higher than the end of the bed to prevent that. About ten years ago I had an endoscopy, and the gastroenterologist said that I had GERD (reflux). However, I have a new doctor now and was tested for it and do not have it. My doctor just tells me not to eat within two hours before going to bed. I wonder if this would also help with sinus drainage problems. I had considered going to National Jewish Hospital in Denver, but my doctor was not interested in referring me. I have called the Lung Line Nurse several times and receive their newsletters online. What was your impression of your treatment there?

HI Norma,

Yes, I had the same problem sliding off the bed. YOur idea about the

bench at the foot of the bed is a good one, also perhaps if you wanted

to try it you could start with one brick and add the second one down

the road. I don't know why, but we don't slide down the bed the way

we did initially, and really don't notice the elevation anymore. 6-8

inches is not a lot of elevation, but is what was recommended and

seems to do the trick. It helps if you don't use slick sheets or bed

clothes made from a silky fabric. You asked about my visit to

National Jewish Hospital in Denver; for several years it has been

rated the best hospital in the U.S. for lung related diseases by U.S.

News & World Report. They do have a lot of specialists and are very

thorough in the tests they give you. They were able to pick up subtle

changes in my disease that my dr. here missed. Also, the infectious

diseases person I saw there suggested several changes in my lifestyle,

such as elevating the bed. I was also told not to use my nebulizing

machine anymore, as they say your own bacteria can get into the

machine itself and become a source of re-infection. I think what

National Jewish has to offer is state of the art testing, equipment,

and every variety of lung specialist for you to see. I saw an

interstitial lung specialist and an infectious diseases specialist who

my pulmonologist says is the best in the country. I believe that

and also visited National Jewish and would have some

good input, is that right ?

Take care of yourself Norma,

Best wishes,

Lesley

Lynne,

That is what this group is all about, support for each other and each other's families. I am glad to know that the emails you received have also touched your husband. My prayers continue for all of you as the grieving process continues. My grandmother was very special to me too.

Love and Prayers,

I wonder if u ever had erythema nodosum during pregnancy and how it affects the situation

MashoSend instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

[Guest guest]

I have been pregnant for four months already and I started to detect one tiny node on my left shin two months ago. My skin doctor advised to put some rivanol (yellow powder) dressing daytime which i was doing since then. The node seemed to be resolving few days ago but all of a sudden the effected area started to get so itchy, next day the skin opened up with pus around. I am so concered what caused that inferction as the node seemed just ready to resolve, I wonder if somebody experienced the same thing, maybe it has something to do with my pregnancy. I am not sure. Now the effected area has been red and swollen for few days already

Yours faithfully

Masho

That is strange, but I think that you are right about doctor's writing the cause off as "idiopathic" too soon.

I had blood tests which didn't come up with any pointers and was told that as I am very tired I must have a virus that triggered EN. This may well be true, but I noticed that a post yesterday referred to Omeprazole as a trigger and this is one of my prescribed medicines. However, I haven't taken it for some weeks.

Does anyone know how long the gap netween the "trigger" or cause and the effect (EN) is?

(unknown)

In most studies I have read the trigger for EN is not found in up to 50% of cases. This is true for all except this case from Russia. Why is it that triggers are figured out in Russia at a higher rate than any place else? Could it be they don't give up as quickly as other doctors do? Russian doctors are predominately women. Could they be more inclined to figure out this predominately women's disorder? This study was done in 1986.

[Erythema nodosum in the clinical picture of internal diseases]

[Article in Russian]

Tareev EM, Kornev BM, Moiseev SV.

A study of 64 patients with erythema nodosum (EN), including 53 females, showed sarcoidosis diagnosed in 65% of the cases to be the principal cause of EN. It was followed by drug disease (10%), tuberculosis (3%), pregnancy or labor (5%), tumors (3%) and other underlying diseases (Behcet's diseases, streptococcal infection, histoplasmosis, nonspecific aorto-arteritis, chronic active hepatitis). The cause of EN could not be identified in 5% of patients only. Two or three possible etiologic factors were identified in 17%. Sarcoidosis combined with EN regressed without treatment in 82% of cases. Corticosteroid therapy was only given in cases of pulmonary lesion or other systemic manifestations. Purposeful investigation is believed to be capable of establishing etiology of EN in virtually all cases.Please enter Erythema Nodosum.........Thanks!Donation Information

chronic active hepatitis-this one is scary since it is what my dog Shadow has. AKA copper storage disease, where your liver stores copper, inflames=hepatitis. I now try to run my water at least 1 minute before I begin to fill my glass or anything I may be drinking. I had wondered about this, but it is not-NOT contagious.

My father's pharmacist assured my father that combinations of pharmaceuticals that his doctors prescribed to him was perfectly safe. He died suddenly due to doctors and pharmacists that lacked deep knowledge in the combination of certain drugs and the fact that they receive the bulk of their knowledge from the pharmaceutical companies themselves. The person that holds the most power is the patient. That is if they choose. You're right to research everything-even pharmaceuticals and the long term effects to our organs. ML GemmillEN -1975Writer - Creative Ideator I just want to comment on the Holistic things..just to have people be cautious about them as they have side effects as do medications prescribed by doctors.Some even conflict with each other.After all..medications were invented from Holistic things..for example the first penicillen was just a mold....Being a nurse I just find that people think they are safe from dammage using Holistic things..but that is not always the case.Always research and talk to the pharmacist about things or your doctor.DonnaYahoo!

My M.D., who has restricted me from vinegar and any foods which contain vinegar, has given me the okay to try the Braggs ACV and see what happens. I'll keep you posted. A N.D. friend had insisted that Braggs is completely different than other vinegars because of the Mother culture, and that it should be fine for me.
