Kathy I wish to god my pubic hair would thin! shoot then I would not

always be after it with the razor blade. I hate pubic hair, I thin

mine out, it just seems so much more clean to not have all that hair

there. That seems like it would be unrelated, as long as your not

losing hair on your head, I would just trim it down and be happy!

the olive oil really doesn't bother me in small doses. I think you

will see some benefits even if you do it once a day. When the tbsp

is mixed with the lemon juice, it isn't as bad, and I don't mind it

much at all if I add a little maple syrup. Milk thistle is an herb,

not a dairy product. It has much research behind it and is an

excellent liver protector and detoxifier. It has even been known to

save lives when people accidentally ingested poisonous mushrooms.

The olive oil/lemon drink is used by some doctors as part of their

protocol to reduce herx pain. I first read about it on Gabe Mirkin,

MD. site. Then I read about it on other sites--including ones for

people with autoimmune illness. Also, the candidiasis website

really touts the liver cleanse---which is also on curezone.com.

Hulda uses the liver cleanse as part of her protocol. The

liver cleanse also uses olive oil--in a larger amt.--and epsom

salts. Many people have excellent results withthe liver cleanse.

Patty has done the cleanse more than once. I have done it once and

had very good results. It needs to be done more often than that

however. Thanks for the comments on sugar and Christmas! Thing is

now I am craving chocolate again!! I am just like an alcoholic--I

am fine until I have some and then the craving starts all over again!

Hugs, kathy

Dear KATHY,

Thank you for your reply

I can totally relate to what you were saying about your vision being blurry as this is what I get, not all the time though.

I have stepped up my dettoxing as I have just got a sauna, maybe I am doing it too much.

Thanks again

thanks paula. i've had really bad tendonitis in my left foot. i had tarsal

tunnel surgeries a few years back. my dr was then busted for cocaine. i've had

problems even before the surgeries, but i get a swelling on my ankle about

the size of an egg and it gets quite painful. they did a 2nd ultrasound and

again determined that the tarsal tunnel area looks normal, but i do have an

extra bone in my foot. they say it is common and some people don't do anything

about it. but if it is bothersome, they remove it, (pea size) saw a little off

the bone in front of it an re attach the tendon there. it doesn't sound like

a lot of fun. the 2 dr's told me it's no big deal and barring any

problems....(i just looked and said, you don't know who you're messing

with!!)he said we

will do it out pt hospital and he'd run an iv antibiotic and give me pills.

i would have the surgery on a wednesday, be back to work with many

restrictions monday.(sure) wear the boot 2-3 weeks, then surgical shoe for a

couple

then back to tennis shoes. i just bought a pair of sandals for the first time

in

8-10 years!! i have been in tennis shoes for 7 yrs now!! i just started

walking more and really trying to get my social life back. now they want me to

sit again. i may just decide to live with this pain. the thought of them

opening my foot again in the same area is not really what i want to do.
