Dear Jan,

I think you did a lot for Debby! What a great come back - Do you think I'm a liar? I love it!!! Sometimes it takes empowerment when you are tired and in pain to help the most. I would love to see a dr. or nurse reaction to that....I'm bad like that sometimes (but don't tell ) )

Dear Tony,

As we all face our internal wars, it is so nice to have a star out there like you reminding us of the joys we need to celebrate in each moment. The moon was full and beautiful the other night, my husband and I went out to view it in awe and as always I thought of you and all of our friends here. Rainbows are the roadways to dreams coming true, as I know yours will. Peace be with you my friend.

Marilyn --

I'll put my two cents in for a poodle -- the bigger, the better! They're

almost always affectionate, smart, quiet, and very loyal. And, they don't

shed. (My 5 y.o., 60-lb. " baby " -- the best behaved in the house -- is curled

up at my feet as I type :-))

It would be a good idea to do some research to see what breeds best suit

your family. There are lots of good books out on dog breeds and their

characteristics. The American Kennel Club and the ASPCA both have titles that

describe the different types -- guardians, sporting, herding, terriers,

companion

dogs, etc. The ASPCA guide (Complete Guide to Dogs: Everything You Need to

Know About Choosing and Caring for Your Pet) then describes each individual

breed

by appearance, grooming & exercise needs, energy level, behavior with kids,

ht., wt., and life span. They may also have some of that info on their

websites.

All of them will be high-maintenance as puppies, but working early on

with a trainer makes it easier. You could also look on the web for a

specific-breed rescue league. I think that those (somewhat older) dogs usually

stay with

a foster family until they're adopted, so the foster parent should be able to

tell you what behavior or quirks you can expect from that particular dog.

Good luck! Jane B.

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some postitive

feedback on finding a dog

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Just thought I'd ad my .02 because after a long nearly 10-year battle with

candida, cancer and all the immune problems you could imagine, I have found

a lot of help from Chinese medicine. I have been seeing a Chinese doctor

and herbalist who prescribes herb teas for me that really do balance the

overall system and my digestive health has never been better from the time

this all started.

I should mention in the beginning I did a lot of NAET/JMT and BioSet

treatments but these are also meridian/point-based, so there really is

something with that. On top of this I do lots of organ/colon cleanses and

find that the soil-based microorganisms also help tremendously... in fact,

when I take those I can get away with eating pretty much anything though I

stick to mostly good stuff these days--my tastes have changed from SAD

(Standard American Diet) to AD (Alkaline Diet). Sprouted, yeast-free

starches are okay with me and I even eat " normal " pizza sometimes and don't

feel bad anymore. Mostly it's veggies, lean meats, tofu, berries/watermelon

for fruit and some sprouted starches, rice- or buckwheat-flour based

cookies... no refined sugars of course... and lemon/lime water is a

favorite. Exercise and oxygenation is essential as well so I work out a

lot--this has really picked up the energy level.

Getting back to the subject at hand... Chinese doctors are not so expensive,

due to the fact that you don't see them that often. I got one tea recipe to

start and was instructed to use it for 3-6 months. The herbs are a bit

costly but are an occasional expense and they do work. If you have any

questions about my tea recipes, email me off list and I will share them.

Good luck with your program.

Subject: Frustration around oral thrush

Hi,

I feel for those who are frustrated as I am with

traditional Doctors. I do, however, suspect, that

since Chinese medecine is much more homeopathic in

nature, and focuses of eliminating parasites from the

body which affect it, they would be much more

understanding and acknowledging of oral thrush and

treat it accordingly. I cannot say I have gone to one

before, but when I can afford it, I will forage a long

term client relationship with one. They also study the

Ph Balance in the body, which, when tipped the wrong

way due to overindulgence in sweets/starches from the

current American processed food diet, causes this as

well as other incredibly real candida symptoms. I,

myself drink as much lemon in my water as I can

tolerate and am not regularly taking apple-cider

vinegar pills to work on my ph balance and keep the

yeast down. I also take probiotics, have dropped 90%

of my breads, cheese, dairy in general, rice, and

pastas, potatos, sodas, and fruit/fruit juices out of

my diet!
