Thanks so much for the information MaidforHim! A woman I work with makes kefir so she'll probably be able to supply me with some grains at some point. If not, I'll check out eBay :D. It all sounds really great, and the fruit/kefir smoothies is an awesome idea. I've struggled with candida...

Ooh this has been something I've been wanting to do lately. I've had Kefir before but I want to start making it on my own. Do you start yours with Kefir grains? :clap: I went through a similar process a few years ago, and it still continues. So glad for your improvement!

Wow.. I've never heard of gagging and throwing up from taking enzymes, but I haven't read everything there is to read either. Maybe you should start out with a lower dose to adjust to your body. Keep me updated through the thread, 'cause I'm hoping it'll work out for you well. Thanks for the link!

Yes, I drink pure aloe vera juice occasionally. I really like it, although some people don't care for the taste. It's really soothing to the gastrointestinal tract. :thumbsup:

Yes, I've had good results with them. Supplementing with digestive enzymes can be a great way to attain more nutrition from the food you eat. Eating raw foods can have the same effect though, since they contain active enzymes. Sometimes they can have a.. compacting effect when first taking...

Wow, I'm not the only Frente lover here?!

Thank you so much for sharing your story WarEagle. If only everyone took the step that you did to self-educate - I think we'd see many more people pushing for food reform in this country.

I'm not sure about UTI's, but antibiotics commonly cause yeast infections. They disrupt the healthy bacteria balance in the body which can cause an overgrowth of candida albicans.

Yes.. it's a bit confusing. OP, do you mean iron as in the nutrient? :confused:

I completely agree with you loribee. No aspartame here! And I could go on and on about the FDA :|...

Well, I haven't had any doctor guiding me since I can't afford it unfortunately. But yes, I'm feeling a lot better than I was because I was able to start eating specific things to alleviate deficiencies - which has helped. I haven't been able to do much about the mercury thing, but thankfully my...

I ordered a test kit from Doctor's Data laboratory via www.directlabs.com. The one I ordered was a Hair Elements profile: http://www.directlabs.com/testtypes.php#hair. It showed me essential trace minerals as well as toxic elements (mercury, lead, etc). It's supposed to be the most reliable one...

Feel free to PM me if you'd like. I've had a lot of success with nutritional stuff to help with my anxiety and I can give you some links to informative websites that really helped me out in my journey to learn about it. This one is a really good one to start with...

Hey lexio :wave: Welcome. Since you're interested in getting off meds, have you ever looked into dietary means of treating your anxiety?

Anything in moderation is better than overdoing it. So yeah, having only one cup would be better than three. The less dependent your body is on the caffeine the better.

If you're looking for personal opinion, I would recommend weaning off the coffee but keeping the ginseng. Coffee acts as a stimulant to the adrenal glands and the central nervous system (see here). Over time the adrenals can become worn out from use of stimulants like this (including refined...

I'm sure there could be a number of different causes for weird eye symptoms.. straining, neurological problems, nutritional deficiencies, etc. What kind of symptoms are you having?

Munch - I just sent my scarves out today. I'm so sorry it's taken me until now when I said I'd mail it a few weeks back. I wasn't very confident in the packaging job I did and wanted to find a new box to put the scarves in. So now it's finally on its way via Priority Mail. :) Let me know when it...

Check out my post in this thread: http://christianforums.com/t6775980-need-help.html. Some of the sources I listed there could be worth looking at. I'm not an expert on the causes, although I strongly suggest you research adrenal fatigue and look into nourishing your daughter's adrenal glands...

Have you changed your diet since being diagnosed? I'm not an expert on fibromyalgia, but I do know that nutrition plays a key role in managing it. Check out this article: http://www.immunesupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm/id/3425/e/1/t/cfids_fm/. Also, this one...
