You should be able to, but I have heard that with CTB the cheaper brands aren't as effective, so don't just buy the cheapest thing out there. I buy the powder from Mountain Rose Herbs and capsule it myself. It's also commonly called Vitex, and that is what I see it called the most at the HFS.

Thanks for the name correction, guess I didn't have it right! :lau I forgot to take my CTB last night and havn't yet this morning.... :gig

You can do however much you want, you just have to watch how fast it's culturing. I have found that if I have 2 TBS of grains to 1 qt milk then my kefir is ready in 24 hours, while most good sources will tell you to use 1 TBS kefir grains to 1 qt milk and wait 48 hours. So if you decrease the...

For adrenal issues and general hormone issues I would check into Chaste tree berry. I have found that most people are totally wrong about CTB. Most say it only makes your body increase progesterone levels and reduce estrogen levels. Which is what most women need, especially in their luteal...

I forgot to add that rejuvenating your kefir grains this way makes the process go much faster, plus getting rid of the nasty taste that mine always have when they were refridgerated, especially since usually just before refridgerating I tend to have left the last couple batches go too long...

In most other forums that I am a member of I have a link I can click on to check on threads that I have replied to that have new posts. Is there something like that here and I just haven't figured it out? If not could we have one pretty please!

I couldn't have any for months because I was having issues. It was only giving me vinegar, even when it was still sweet. That was an interesting tasting experience! :lol: Anyways I finally found out that my bedroom was too cold, so I moved it to the same room as the fire, rook out 5 inches of...

Drinking some now. :)

Ah lol. I have seen star wars but I wasn't sure why the reference to it. :)

Hmm both my husband and I have a number of liver toxicity symptoms. We've been taking a live cleanser, but not like we should. Just sugar or all sweeteners too? I only use sugar (organic dehydrated cane juice) every blue moon (was a daily habit until a couple weeks ago) when I have some black...

Yes, it's because of the types of casein. Most cows have type 2 casein while most goats have type 1 casein, which is easier to digest, and all around better for you.

I take activated charcoal and butchers broom when I'm cleansing. Between the both of them almost always all of my nasty cleansing symptoms are gone. *sigh* I know I need to go GF and more then likely DF at least long enough to heal my gut. I have a family history of gluten intolerance and this...

:yuckyuck

Love the pic too! I want some Nigie babies! My girls are holding out on me... :hit

Sounds like a great deal to me! I'd try to get a ram too. If I was ever to want sheep again. :P Ugh!

On the note of sheep milk.... Our local store recently started carrying some WONDERFUL sheep milk Ramano cheese. It's SO yummy! Well worth the $15 for 2lb!

I LOVE my goats! I have Nigerian Dwarf's and just adore them. We looked at possibly getting a cow, but there was three BIG issues that made us decide on goats. First of all land. We only have 4 acres, although access to 14, but it's all wooded and hilly. Not the best for a cow, but perfect for...

Come again? :idunno

I restore mine with cultured buttermilk or probiotic powder. This prevents the kefir from getting a off taste. Good kefir will taste just a tad bit sourer then plain yogurt. So if your plain kefir doesn't taste like that then treat it with buttermilk or probiotics. Plain yogurt might even work...

My husband, his boss and my brother are preparing for a snowmachine trip into the White Mountains so today I'm making a bunch of meals for them. It's been AGES since I made granola so I thought I would surprise my husband and make some. It's SO good, and since I found a stovetop recipe, it's...
