The children are toxic. TOXIC. You can point fingers at the parents all you like for how they try to cope, but that won't change toxicity. It is like trying to talk a schizophrenic or bipolar type out of their behaviour.
Biology is the mother of psychology. Fix up the children's bodies and it will became much easier for the parents to cope with parenthood.

Curator, do you do exorcisms? If so, I would like to open a discussion on this topic, as I have some probably unusual opinions as to what really constitutes demonic possession.

All the time! But about 5 years ago my usual JW visitor lady showed up with another one, a trainee. I was in a bad mood that day and at a certain point in the conversation I mentioned - it was appropriate in the context of our discussion - that I felt sorry for animals and didn't want to eat their flesh. Well, the trainee went apeshit and said loudly and hostilely, "We're SUPPOSED to eat

I like your post, Brome. There's nothing good about suffering in order to (supposedly) end somebody else's. Then who is going to deal with your suffering? It just goes in circles. Let's just do the best that we can. Looking around for every tiny thing that might have harmed or killed an animal or another person can make a person neurotic, or, more likely, be an indicator of such a condition.

"Macho tofu recipes"? I don't know about that. Tofu and soy products generally were traditionally used by Buddhist monks to take away their urges, which they felt were not compatible with their spiritual search and lifestyle.
But for a person who's eaten tons of meat and dairy, I am sure that some tofu would provide a cleanout. But after the cleanout, I'd stop the soy if I were

Banana who: re raw plant fat vs cooked. I think this may be correct. I know that saturated fats (animal or plant) are reputed to be "better" for you than plant oils, but perhaps no distinction has been made between more- or less processed, ie, heated. There's no doubt that heating any

734. Re: olive oil
I wonder where the idea came from to squeeze fats out of plant foods - seeds, olives, nuts or anything else, why entire populations felt a need to do this. Anybody know the origins? Just off the top of my head, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to consume anything more than a tiny quantity of one portion of a food.
No, "whole" foods aren't automatically good for us all the time,

That's exactly correct, Banana, I don't know what is going on and that is why I recommend going to a doctor who is open to all sorts of approaches including the orthomolecular one as well as any and all other approaches. "Nipping something in the bud" implies willfulness on the part of a child. Kids of such a young age are not willful, they are expressing some internal biology. Furth

Coco, maybe your daughter would benefit from some orthomolecular-type vitamin & mineral supplementation. I have heard great things about this approach. It's not the parents' fault nor is it a psychological problem.
In some children (and adults), a good diet isn't enough. All kinds of things happen during gestation that can erupt later in life and then be blamed on terrible twos or threes

I have a real old grinder (manual) that will crush anything and I sometimes use it for chia. It is not the perfect tool for this job, though. I think something smaller, like maybe a coffee grinder, would be better.
It is hard to grind things with a mortar & pestle if you don't roast them first.

If you don't crush the chia seeds first I don't see how they are going to digest and do you any good.

Most parents who do smack do it because they just "lost it". It's not like they are thinking, "okay, I will now smack my child". Parents get overtired and overstressed and lose patience and next thing you know...SMACK. I have done it and regret it deeply. But it happened only twice. Not serious smacks, either.
By the way, there is a subset of strict Christians who DO

Personally, I would not think that the initial loss of menstruation for only a few months is pathological, so long as it returns after this few-months' cleansing. When your body is busy detoxifying, it will shut down those things that aren't totally necessary to life. That is how I see it; I would not place hair loss or tooth-loosening in the same category but that is just my opinion. Hair loss

Re cessation of menstruation: some macrobiotic women would experience that at first - it was indeed a healing reaction - and then their periods returned and they felt healthier than ever. However, the ones who stuck with the diet in a strict way for years, their menstruation ceased in a pathological way due to deficiencies in nutrients. It is an issue of knowing the difference.

It all depends on who you are and what your needs might be. Some people benefit from phytic acid and others don't benefit. You can even buy phytic acid supps, I think. However, it is impossible to know what is really going on in anyone's body, it is too complicated. They say our bodies are constantly doing a dance of balance. The doctors & scientists probably understand about 1% of this.

Thanks for that wonderfully informative and humorous post, tropical. It needs to be emphasized that "gallstones" are a settling-out of cholesterol, apparently caused by a lack of balance between bile salts and cholesterol.
Then these little bits of cholesterol take on a layer of calcium compound and the longer they sit there, the thicker those layers of calcium get. It is not har

I guess that the issue is how you define work of "equal value". Honestly, I don't know if this is doable, to sort it all out.
