152. Re: IUD"s
Wow Coco, thats pretty awesome, congrats to you.
So I still have some questions,
A UTI, Urinary tract infection? That doesn't make sense because that is completely seperate from the vagina. Bacteria travels up the urethra into the bladder and if it's really bad can go into your kidneys. Have you ever had a UTI? I have and it was the most painfull thing I have ever experienced in my life. I

153. Re: IUD"s
Yes, now that you have jogged my memory I do remember talking to my health care provider about this. What she explained to me was that because of the strigs that protrude from the cervix, I actucally saw them my last visit (I recommend this for all women, next time you have the speculum in, ask for a mirror, it is very interesting to look at your own cervix) it can make it easier for any std/bact

154. Re: Facial scrub
I think white granulated sugar is what the recipe calls for, who knows if they are perfectly round probably not because they are crystals. I can really only see a problem if you use "raw" sugar. Think of sand, it's not perfect but I have never seen sand cut anybodys skin.

155. Re: IUD"s
I haven't read the book yet, but yeah, I feel like this is how I am taking charge of my fertility. I have been tracking my cycle for years doing the whole temp. thing but was always so nervous about that because like we all know, anything could happen. If I ever got preggers I know I would keep it; this way I can be completely prepared before I bring anybody into this world, and so can my partner

156. Re: IUD"s
The IUD, from all the research I have done, has definately improved in the past 20 years. Like all contaception controll there are risks, of course. I think it is a extrememly individual choice, I personally think putting synthetic hormones into my body in way more damaging than the IUD. It is also normal I think for my body to want to regect it, I would be concerned if it didn't. I think it is a

I guess bedbugs have a really sweet smell, so if you walk into a hotel room and the bed/room smells really sweet, BEWARE, bedbugs!
This might be harder to identify in someones house. I can just imagine the craigslist senario, you are ready to buy a sofa but you have to do a thorough "smelling" before purchase, ah, I'm laughing just thinking about it.

158. Re: Facial scrub
My mom has two different facial scrubs that she loves. The first one you use about 4-5 aspirin, melt them in a little bit of hot water, so it makes it like a runny paste, then apply that to your face, let it sit for a minute, then gently scrub in circular motions. Aspirin has salicylic acid which exfoliates. then rinse and apply some moisturizer, coconut oil is what I use, or castor oil is good a

I should have titled this as a cramping question. I think this is the first time I have posted here and not recieved any helpfull responses; weird huh?!
Anyway, for anyone who is interested, I have found a tea that helps a lot. It is Traditional Medicines' "Female Toner". It has the cramp bark in it and helps a lot but you have to consume a few cups a day. I figure this is way better

163. sprouting brocolli
Has anyone sprouted brocolli before? I am soaking them now but couldn't find any specifics in any books. I assume they will be fine but just wanted to see if anyone had any special instructions for sprouting brocolli?

Sometimes I do have intense craving for meat. I would fantasize about the texture of salmon and stuff like that. When was vegetarian I did what you did and eat some tofu or something with a bunch of protein. Now I make a smoothie with a huge scoop of almond butter or something like that. Young coconut meat is good too for the texture thing.

I feel like the pain starts a little above my sacrum and ends maybe 5 inches bellow my shoulder blades; but spands broadly from left to right, It could be structural, they did an ultrasound all on my back and abdomen and they said everything looked normal. I feel like it is a big mystery.

168. back pain question
I have been having this weird problem for the past couple months or so and i wanted to get some opinions ect. from everyone.
So sometimes, maybe 2 or 3 times a week I will wake up and have my back, specifically where my kidneys are in really bad pain, like somebody has punched me in my kidneys or something. I even went to the doctor because I thought I might have a kidney infection but I don't

I like to eat the "cappings" from raw honey, it has peices of beeswax, pollen and propolis. I think it tastes delecious; you can chew the wax for a long time just like gum.

I use my neti pot often (and I like it), I wouldn't say that it will help with the mucus but it does help with breathing, (it will definitely make it run easier and clear it out temporarly). You're not supposed to use it if you can't breathe out of both sides of your nose. Make sure that the water you use is warm and always must have salt in it. Sometimes I use theese little sinus rinse mixtures

In my "living in the raw" book by Rose Calabro, she has a whole chapter on sprouting and she says flax "sprout" by soaking them for 4-6 hrs without rinsing. I think flax are the only seed that doesn't really sprout, but that sounds weird.
The way I do it is soak them and blend them in a coffee grinder and use it that way.
Flax seed oil is easy to add to stuff too.

If I am soaking seeds for sprouting, I use the soak water to water the plants around the house, they seem to like it!

All this feedback is really awesome, thanks.
Alas, I don't know precisely what parasites I could be carrying around in my gut, I have a pretty good feeling that I probably have worms.
I think I am going to try the pinapple thing, I have to find the book that I read this in so I can share the details.

I have been trying to research the best way to cleanse my body of parasites and/or worms and I read that pineapple is supposed to be the best because something in them actucualy kills the worms.
Has anybody ever done a parasite cleanse? There seems to be a lot of products out there but I would rather just eat pineapple by itself for a few days.
I know It's a sensitive subject but any experien

Hey guys,
I forgot to rinse my radish sprouts this morning & when I got home this afternoon they seem to have grown little cilia/ hair like fibers on all of them.
This is my first go at radish sprouts so I was wondering if this is normal for the radishes, or if it was my bad forgetting to rinse them and maybe it's mold or something, but I highly doubt that because the alfalfa which I also

thanks everyone,
I have been using a coffee grinder to grind them when I need them; so they don't go rancid. Should whole flax be kept in the fridge with my other nuts/seeds?
Any recipes you like?

What do you think is better, ground or whole flax seeds?
Personally or nutritionally.
