We were told in Chemistry class in high school that fermented alcohol such as beer and wine are more likely to give you a hangover vs the distilled alcohols. I’ve have found that to be true (in my younger days).
Do you have one you like? My doctor strongly encouraged me to be taking VSL #3, but you can only get it at Costco or via mail (with overnight refrigerated shipping only $$) and I can't justify paying for the membership or the shipping. I've managed to get a couple of Costco pharmacists to sell it to me w/out a membership "just this once", but I think that boat has sailed now... I do have to admit it worked way better than the Culturelle I'm taking now which oddly tastes like fish?
The ones I used are geared towards premenopausal women... I don't think you would want those!
I heard recently of a study that showed that eating honey regularly helps to diversify your gut flora. I haven’t followed up, but honey is also good for allergies and just plain tasty, so that sounds like a win-win to me.
I put a teaspoon of honey in my coffee every morning!!
For the best results it should be local honey. It will have local pollen etc. Some honey on the market is just cooked sugar. Still other honey on the market is bee honey but it is filtered and heated so much of the healthy goodies are destroyed or removed.
Know anyone with cows? real buttermilk. Home made buttermilk is like mainlining probiotics.
There is such a thing as an addictive personality. I have really wondered what percentage of addicted people are narcissistic. I know some who are.
That would make an interesting study!!
Yeah, definitely. I get mine at the farmers’ market from a farmer about fifteen miles away. I’d love to try beekeeping myself, but our little suburban property isn’t big enough.
Yes! Someone could do a PhD dissertation or Master's thesis on this!
A bee hive only takes about 4 square feet. The bees will range for miles so they are leaving your property, unless you buy Wyoming.
thyroid & iron????
Way back in 1978 my wife and I had to take a birthing class so I could be in the delivery room with her.
I’ve been told that it’s wisest to give them about a fifteen-foot radius where you are not using the space frequently, so that they are not disturbed on a regular basis. That we don’t have.
I wonder if there is someone, such as a nutritionist, who could evaluate you? Have you been around chemicals and other things that could be harmful?
Have you done any research with the Weston Price foundation? A friend of mine has gone through the elimination diet twice, with two different practitioners, a couple years apart. She has always struggled with disliking many foods. She literally ate roasted chicken for lunch for years. I think she is one of the pickiest eaters I've ever known, but I have known others that I know were picky. It just wasn't allowed in my grandmother's house growing up. We were given such a hard time about so many things, that it was something not to resist about.
We're big fans of Weston Price's work, and Sally Fallon's "Nourishing Traditions" was huge in teaching us how to eat healthier. I feel super fortunate that we have this knowledge, because if I was still eating the way I was 20 years ago ( 2 fast food meals + one homemade meal that was probably high in refined carbs, damaged fats & artificial everything) I'd be dead and gone by now!
We have a WP chapter here. I've been to many of their meetings. One of the local leaders lives in my neighborhood and walks by my house almost daily.
Wow, the WP site is a lot better than what I remember from the 90's
When we were in Ohio we didn't have a chapter nearby, but we had a couple of other like minded families we shared ideas/support with. Just saw there is a chapter in our county in Utah, and they have an active FB page. We'll have to check them out!
People are interesting and I am always aware of people and their behaviors. It comes with Montessori training, minimally 100 hours of observation of behavior. Our local group has many self focused people who are completely unaware that there are other people there as well.Wow, the WP site is a lot better than what I remember from the 90's
I was around 50 when I had my realization about narcissism and addiction, my family issues. My narcissistic sister has always focused on the alcoholism, but I believe that alcoholism is a symptom of narcissism. People can stop drinking, drugging or whatever addiction they have, but the narcissism is virtually incurable.
