I hope you start feeling better soon! I will only do yoga on an empty stomach but also well hydrated. I stay pretty well hydrated during the day, so before bed I will drink a large amount of water, then, when I wake up, I will go to the bathroom, then drink another large glass. After one...

After reading more about enzymes and such, Canned foods have very low levels of the natural enzymes, so I am not surprised that our seniors (and even our young people!) are having multitudes of issues. My M-I-L is now dealing with an itchy scalp---she thinks it might be psoriasis---which is an...

I have noticed there are no photo printing places here. I looked in the phone book, and there used to be a couple, but I called them and the numbers are disconnected. They do have 1-hour prints available at walgreens, cvs, etc, but most only have glossy prints. Walmart is able to print in...

I hope you get it figured out! When I was having crazy cycles, my naturopath recommended "What your doctor might not tell you about premenopause". (Not peri-menopause)

I would also like to add that you should be drinking plenty of good water (Not city water-which contains chlorine and fluoride, among many other things). If your body is getting enough water, it will reduce inflammation. Avoid inflammatory foods like Sugar, High Omega 6 foods (like fast food)...

My two boys are quite entertaining, but outside of them, I would have to say Chickelodeon (My Pullets) and Chick Jr. (The 2 month olds) are my main freebies right now. I put a cabbage pinata in the coop since they have been cooped up because of the cold. The Ladies had a field day, and they...

Right now, I don't have it set up for quantities, but total price. When they all sit next to each other, I can get a rough idea of how much they were each (Lets say, tomato sauce-if I buy 2 one day because I ran out and they aren't on sale-and then I go back a few days later when they are on...

Question. I am thinking about using solar panels and a wind turbine to help with electricity. My goal is to have a stack of batteries that will be on a trickle charge from the home-made electricity, and then feed the rest of the electricity back to the grid-especially when we are not at the...

I almost peed reading this thread, btw. Well, someone mentioned something about if it was for surely a yeast infection or another type of infection. Then, a few years ago I thought I had a yeast infection. I was dealing with something down there. When I was younger, I was very prone to...

I started a spreadsheet on every grocery receipt and on each item I got. I put it in by month, and I can also see if things are cheaper at one store or another, and find out what their sale cycles are. I have a large grocery bill for our family of 4, but, we have very little medical expenses...

I rarely use coupons because most of the stuff I buy doesn't have coupons that print in the newspapers. I will flip through the flyer they hand me at the health food store...I usually don't buy anything though. I can't wait to grow my own food. I know my food budget is super high, but we eat...

I am actually thinking about getting a pre-paid phone to leave at the house to use for emergencies. We have 2 young boys and whenever I am out doing something outside, I feel as though I need to make sure they have access to a phone, in case I fall and break my leg or something and crush my...

I just purchased 3 LED bulbs. The one for the coop was the most expensive, but it will be on the most. I got it at a hardware store. Little did I know, the *big box store*(I try to limit my purchases there) has LEDs now, and they are not terribly expensive. The ones I got were less than 6...

I just thought of something that helps around here. Foaming hand soap dispensers. My boys used to pump the soap and we would go through it like wild fire (and I am not a big fan of bars), but with the foam, you add a little soap with some water and it really stretches the soap. I actually use...

When I was younger, I used to trim and cut it all the time. Once, I cut it so short (of course the night before school photos), that I had to basically cut it about 1.5 inches long and let it grow out. And I was a tom boy, so I got called a boy all the time. :( Since then, I tried to cut my...
