    Bikram Yoga?

    I have been practicing Kripalu yoga for about 5 years. I have not done Bikram, though sometimes my instructor turns up the heat in our studio in order to sort of simulate that effect. I am not too big a worrier about germs and stuff like that - I was a swimmer for years, in and out of hot...

    Can Someone send me a link

    I need some advise on enzymes

    Once I started school, my mom sent my enzymes in my lunch bag - we didn't ask or tell the school and it was never an issue. It was much easier for me and I was embarrassed by having to go to the nurse everyday before lunch to get my meds - would it be possible to pack it in her snack or even...

    How bad can Pseudomona be?

    I just found out I culture PA and I am 29. I believe it is class II PA and I can take levaquin and cipro for it, but have not been able to while pregnant.

    lung clearance

    I get that a lot, but amusingly, it has happened the most during both of my pregnancies - I wondered if the strain on my innards wasn't part of the problem...though I have had it without as well. I just have to take deep breaths and stay very still. Trust me though, I have puked plenty while...
