BW, I was told by my pediatrician years ago that using the bulb syringe to flush out the ear canal does no harm. The water does not continue to travel, it's stopped and is sprayed back out. You can use things to soften any wax first, I used hydrogen peroxide the night before. They have stuff you can buy at the drug store, or use whatever holistic item you like.
You can start using the bulb sy

I don't think that colonics are going to help your eustachian blockages. I've had a series of colonics and while I thought they did some good, nothing has been better than the psyllium husk drinks I've been taking 2x a day. That being said, here's a couple tips for the eustachian blockages.
If you have a water pik you can set it on low and use it to irrigate the ear canal. It feels wonderful a

My 3rd day of no caffeine and I don't have one sign of a headache..in fact I feel really good. I feel fortunate if all it took was a couple days of withdrawal. I think I'll plan on doing a 1 day fast and when I'm ready to do that I'll post a thread if others want to join in.

This is my 3rd day of weaning off caffeine..that one cup of coffee (large cup) in the mornings. I've have gotten a headache around mid-afternoon and have made a couple ounces of coffee to wean off. I'll see if today I need to do that.
I was just going to quit without any 'hair of the dog' but I can't live with the kind of headache lack of caffeine is giving me.

I definitely am going thru withdrawal from the little bit of caffeine I take daily. The headache came on around 2 pm and now I can recall going off caffeine before. If I remember it will be about a week of headaches and then around 3 weeks total before I'm caffeine free.
I did take less than half a cup of coffee to get rid of the headache. I tried to hang but I figure a little bit will help m

Sorry 'bout that BW. Yes, I find the book to have a lot of insight and facts I never new about caffeine.
I also think that 40% blood loss in your brain is a lot. It's frustrating though when a story shows up like that one and is too short on answers. I'm wondering if there are more details to it and were left out of that version.
The fact that the coffee bean plant is the most sprayed plan

Once you get your friends in with the first raw pot luck, the next ones can be where everyone brings some kind of raw food/dish.
Oh yes..don't forget the desserts..even if some are reluctant to try the main dishes they will always give the sweets a try!

I've had one for a number of years and I was without one for about a year until recently again. I can sit and balance with no feet on ground or holding on to the ball. It is supposed to help with core strength. I'm a fidety person..so the ball is perfect for me as it is mostly in some kind of motion.
Even my dog likes the ball..she'll put a squeaky toy under it and then buss the exercise ball

I'm at Amazon reading some of the pages on that book Caffeine Blues and it says coffee itself has over 700 volatile compounds not including other contaminants it may harbor like pesticides, mycotoxins, and solvents.
I'm finding the book fascinating enough I may purchase it. It could go with my other book Sugar Blues.

I'm drinking my peppermint tea this morning. It was difficult to not have my coffee but I've quit it before for a few years at a time so I know I can do it if I really want to.
I think that the effect from the caffeine in loss of brain blood volume would stay low and people learn to function in that capacity, because otherwise why would one have withdrawal symptoms like headache that may be ca

The aqua toner does go back and forth. I don't know what it does to relieve my sciatic pain but it works. Maybe helps with circulation, or helps with muscle tension, or a little adjustment of my lower back, or something else.
I have my exercise ball which I work out on and sit on while at the computer. It never helped to relieve my sciatic pain though. Nor did the chiro sessions I did for seve

Lots of easy snacky things. Veggies and raw dips, raw crackers (you can purchase them if you don't make them), green juices, simple ingredient smoothies they can make on the spot.
You could have fresh whole pineapples ready to juice, apples are great tasting to juice also.
I've gone to raw pot-lucks, and I've had my own raw pot-lucks. Have fun!

I had to purchase a new Aqua-toner system..because after a few months my pain from sciatica was back in full force.
I'm using it again and after only a couple sessions (I do at least 15 mintues 2x a day if not up to 30 minutes each time) the mornings are once again pain free and I can walk normally and not hunched over and crooked from the pain.
Next thing I want is that massage/heat mat to

I found this interesting..a 40% drop in blood volume in a brain after 1 cup of coffee..seems like a lot to me.
What I'd like to know is, does this blood volume stay that low all day from that 1 cup of coffee (or other caffeine source) and if not how long it takes to get it back to 'normal'.
I have to admit that I went b

Chat, do you think that fasting gives one more energy (short fasts) due to the fact our body is not taking energy to fuel digestion and we are using stored fats to burn for fuel for things like repair and rebuilding?
I am feeling like doing a few 1 day fasts once the weather is consistently warmer. I used to do 3 days fasts but I am wondering if the 24 hour fasts might be much better in the lo

If you don't like those boom cars spewing out all base music that it literally shakes the surroundings then you won't like the new sirens. Someday they will be able to just move aside any obstacles!
I think it's an assault (sometimes the military uses the same sound tactics in standoffs) on our health. The typical boom car is obnoxious, and disorienting to my senses.

This is great Jodi! Congrats on your very own open space
You might start with building a tiny house on wheels. There are plans for those online. Then you could move it around as you plant and plan out things for the property.
What are some of your dreams/goals/ for the property and lifestyle Jodi?

I talked with a woman that lives in my apt. building. She is out daily a few times to feed the feral cats, she walks to the store albeit slowly, she even traverses a brick wall to get in a back space in the garden that one of the cats is caring for her kittens. This lady recently had a hip replacement.
I asked her about the results and she said it was wonderful, and she has no pain. She was i

Years ago my wiser older brother and I were reading Ann Landers (yes..the love lorn adviser from the newspaper) and he said, "She always only answers what she was asked without adding in extraneous statements." I've always remembered him saying that and try to keep that in mind when someone is asking a question.

I went to look up the area you are moving to and it's looks more like SoCal that I'm used to. I'm in Northern Cal now as you know. I've been in my little apt. for just over a year now and I'm getting used to it. I still miss having so many of the fun things to do I had to do in SoCal..as this is a very small town.

No, I wasn't joking...why would I do that? I didn't go research it first, it was my first thought from what I recalled from something else.
Anyway, I did look it up now and it's complicated I see but there are lengthy explanations as to types of foods, preparation of foods, Kosher certified foods..and much else. And I don't know about additives such as waxing foods if that's Kosher.

I think that Panchito and HH are in this forum together feeding off their back and forth posts for whatever agenda they have. I don't believe they are here for altruistic purposes.
