    Growing a pecan tree

    I am certainly not an expert, but both my neighbors have pecan trees. We noticed a few years ago that our big tree in our back yard had two different types of leaves, it was actually 2 trees. A nut must have fallen by the original tree(a redbud), because we now have a pecan tree taller than...

    Mosquito bites

    Here are a couple of suggestions, some may work for some, and not others. We heard from someone that you could use a hair dryer. We turn it on high, and aim it at the bite. We keep it the same distance away as you would when you dry your hair. We keep it there til it hurts too much, and then...

    Cabbage Soup Diet

    Thanks for responding. I will look into the sources you mentioned. So, other than the carrots, are the other veggies in the soup ok? If I understand you right, unlimited protein and fat; lots of broccoli, spinach, and celery. 30-40 (grams?) carbs a day. What other veggies do you...

    Cabbage Soup Diet

    Hello, I am just wondering about this diet. I used it once before, following it to the letter, and lost 12 lbs. You make a cabbage based veggie soup, and eat as much as you want of it, and certain things each day for 7 days. Other than being hungry, I didn't have any problems. I gained the...

    vaccinations?

    I had to weigh in on this, as I have spent a lot of time over the last three or four years researching vaccines. The most important thing for the OP, and anyone else to do is find out as much information as you possibly can, from as many sources as possible. Find out what your rights are, and...

    Is there a healthy oil for frying?

    Thanks all for your responses. I will check out the different items suggested. I had wondered if we might just need to use lard and stuff like that We don't fry much, maybe a few times a month, if that. Usually for fish. I imagine fish fried in ghee would be wonderful! The more I dig, the...

We use olive oil for most things, but not sure if it can be used for frying, and it would probably be too expensive, even if it could. I am thinking about ghee, but not sure how expensive that would...

    KEFIR grains-Mind if we give them their own thread?

    Is there a way to make kefir that is non alcoholic? I read somewhere that if it ferments in the presence of oxygen, the sugar is converted to carbon dioxide and something else, but if it is without oxygen, then it converts it to alcohol. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Anyone know where I...

Could you please give me details, such as what med, what strength, what tests they did, and what problems she had/has afterwards? I haven't heard anything like that before, and I...

    Spare the rod......Not a bible quote

    This may seem a little odd to be posted here, but I was just reading some posts, and the phrase "Spare the rod, spoil the child" kept coming up, and being stated as a bible verse. I looked it up. It is not from the bible. Though many scripture verses seem to be in agreement with this phrase...

Definitely do tons of research, there is a lot of info out there. As was posted, women who have hysterectomies sometimes still have the endometriosis...
