    Goat soap and cheese questions...

    I would absolutely do this if I saw it offered in my area. I really want to get into goats and soap/milk but I worry I won't really know what to do once I get the goats. Would be great to be shown!

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    I am on hydroxyquin and that is the one for the eye exam. I already got it done, she wanted one from when I started and then a year from now. The other meds I have no idea, she wasn't interested in talking to me after I mentioned the elimination diet and food allergies! Do the elimination diet...

    Why are rescues so difficult?

    I got both of my cats from the HS and I am so blessed that they are in my life. However I would never get a cat from there again. Second cat came home with a respitory infection. They tried to charge me for the vet care when I brought her back the next day. This is after spending 300 dollars on...

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    That is very interesting, I did not know that. I've eaten brocolli the entire diet although I did read on one or two pages not to. Like I said so many different websites said different things! I suppose I must not be allergic to it thoguh since my symptoms went away. Thankfully- broc is my...

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    Ah I would be very interested to know what vaccine. I did not have it my whole life, it got especially bad after I was in my early teens and progressed to being very bad in my adulthood. You know I quit dairy for two months (but did not quit gluten at that time) and there was no improvement in...

    Strep throat help.

    I had strep my whole teenage life it seems. Warm salt water gargled help. Eating warm soup. I'd just eat things that would soothe. Oh boy, strep is a terrible ill. I do not wish that on anyone. Every swallow is pain. I hope your daughter feels better soon. I got my tonsils out and have not had...

    Don't sleep in the stuffy room.

    My house is VERY old and VERY drafty. We can't keep our bedroom free of drafts, it is always cold. We blanket up and have no issues (besides getting out of bed in the morning!) Neither husband nor I have been sick in a very very long time. We keep our home quite cool because we have an old...

    Heart Health / Diet Question(s) - Update Pg 7

    Great and easy salad dressing is ACV vinegar and EVOO mixed together with some sea salt and perhaps some garlic. I won't buy dressings from the store anymore but I really miss ranch dressing, I've always been a creamy dressing type of gal.

    Cannabis as medicine for real, anyone?

    I love this discussion and look forward to reading through these 14 pages. I have RA and I am not much for medication. I try to avoid pain pills and the like at all costs. I used to smoke pot recreationally with friends but never really put much thought into it being used instead of pain pills...

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    I am not familiar with that illness but I really encourage you to try. It is really not that hard, it sucks for the first few weeks. We lived off carrots and homemade hummus (I'll share the recipe), brown rice and EVOO fried up with garlic and sweet potatoes for the first two weeks basically...

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    Honestly, I have not noticed anything yet. I have had terrible eczema on my hands over the years which is especially bad in winter. I'd be so embarassed to show people my hand. It's just a very gross and painful ailment. After many lotions and prescription drugs and cortosteroids (didnt like...

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    I need to share this info with someone! I hope it helps someone living with something similar. Here is my little story: About a year and a half ago I started getting terrible pain and stiffness in my hands. It took me quite awhile to get to a rheumatologist, most of it my own stubborn will. I...

    Chickens chickens, im getting chickens!!

    I bought a small flock with 2 EE hens, an EE rooster, and two RIR and a buff brahma. I'm so glad I did it that way! Raising their chicks has been an awesome experience. Waiting for the chicks to start laying is a wee bit brutal, but a great experience none the less. I love my chickens, I would...
