fruits and veggies and nuts! Look into curcumin, oregano oil, whole food supplements, and probiotics. There are some amino acids that are thought to help, though i don't know which ones. Avoiding fat if digestion and weight gain aren't an isse is beneficial as well - though it is necessary...

thanks deb!

well I know I am not the norm - and I would have to say no matter, what do what you are comfortable with - you won't have a good time if you are worried about the smoke. However, I think that if you protect your child at all possible times from adverse exposures, such as smoke, then spending a...

Well I was in the chat room for a bit too - I know the pros and cons of drinking. I am almost 29 and I have been drinking socially for at least 15 years - starting in high school. Socially=on social occassions. I am not sitting down at the bar pounding them down night after night. Yes, maybe...

I am laughing so hard right now, imagining people going in to get weighed jingling and clanking away!

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote><i>Originally posted by: <b>dramamama</b></i> hi guys- I need some help. I just tried hypertonic saline today and suddenly felt real weird...my sats dropped from 98-99% to 94% and I am coughing up all kinds of crud...now my joints are hurting which makes me...

My son was breastfed and I took my enzymes as well as albuterol and I think advair, but I don't remember for sure on that. I am pregnant now and taking the same three things I mentioned above - my doc says all are OK, so I would assume they would be fine for breastfeeding too.

I'm sending out happy and healthy thoughts to her!

oui, Scarlett, mais j'oublie beaucoup de francaise parce que je parle espanol tout le temps pour mon travialle.

OK, so you probably know by now I am pregnant (11 weeks tomorrow! hooray!) and I just had all my routine stuff done at the OB - pap, blood work, etc. and they called today and said my white blood count was slightly elevated and they were going to pull it again in a month. My question is - as...

ha! I did the same thing onc, minus the oregano oil. I had a herbalist tell me for a cold to mince four cloves of garlic and wash them down with some water, and do this 3-4 times a day. i did it once and had projectile vomit like the exorcist. I still don't care much for the smell of garlic...

ooh, I have a really huge tattoo on my back - I will post as soon as i can. I have a new computer and all my pics are still on the old one.

I agree too. Maybe because I have kept myself from getting embroiled in any serious drama, but I feel accepted here and I enjoy reading everyone's perspectives. As far as some of the other stuff....well I wish people were more open and sometimes sensitive about others opinions and...
