My view on this is a little different. I had gallbladder stones and was also told by a surgeon that he would recommend to get the gallbladder removed. To me that is not surprising, that's what surgeons do, they cut. I ended up deciding against it. I know that comes as a surprise :p Surgery for...

Don't even get me started on the off leash dogs in my area. We have very clear leash laws and it seems for some people these only apply to other people. :eek: I don't know how many times I have an ignorant owner yell at the top of their lungs for the dog to come back, the dog doesn't and then...

The clicker is supposed to mark the desired behavior. Let's say you try to teach your dog to sit. As soon as his bum hits the ground you click and give a treat. This book is really great (I think)...

I use a rechargable herbal flea collar from Natural Animal http://www.botanicaldog.com/proddetail.php?prod=HBFC01&PARTNER=judyshealthcafe and have used this when I had a really bad tick infestation http://www.diatect.com/flea-and-tick-killer.php I won't use Advantix because of the severe...

My dog Shiloh has the same dog aggression problem that you decribe with your dog. I initially tried the same things you did, make him sit, grab him by the neck, turn him around, etc. Nothing worked! In order to find what is working, it may help to know if the aggression is dominance, or if it is...

It's not only the hormones that are injected for the cows to produce more milk. It's the nature of milk, babies, no matter if human, cows or any other mammal, have the biggest growth rate during the time that they are fed milk. Milk promotes fast growth. I have to chuckle when I read "hormone...

Does anyone know where to download it? I killed my iPod and didn't back up my iTunes. Got a new iPod but now I need to get Press Play again. I was looking at Jim McLaren's website but I can't find it. And I know it is not on the Cardio Coach website. Does anyone know? Thanks!

YOU GO GIRL!!!! You are an inspiration!

It happens to me every time I go back to working out after a hiatus. I read somewhere that your muscles store more water when repairing the little tears in your muscles before the muscle grows. It usually goes away after a few weeks. I also found that if I don't drink enough water when I...

Brendan Brazier has recipes for recovery drinks, gels and powerbars in his book Thrive (they are vegan though). I have tried some of his recipes for longer runs and I think they are pretty good. Larabars always work for me. My recovery drink of choice is coconutwater with lime juice and a...

I am sure it's the later :p:p:D He sounds like a keeper!!!

Where did you find that pesticides/antibiotics are not used in any dairy? Per regulations of the FDA pesticides and antibiotics can't be ""added" to the milk / dairy product but antibiotics can be and are adminstered to the cattle and pesticides are usually in the feed in non-organic operations...

That's great news, Nan!!!! YAY!!!! :D:D:D:D

I know this is scary, Janie but I am sure you will be fine. My best friend had the same thing you have a few years ago and like you she decided to change her diet (she cut out dairy, eggs, wheat and meat) and exercise. She also took some herbs and supplements. 12 months later it was all gone and...

Don't you mention "Jaws" :eek::D I second the Slow Fat Triathlete book recommendation. That's the first one I got. It has a lot of great information that is not geared towards the competitive triathlete and as mspina said she has a really great sense of humor. I just signed up for swim...

Selling pink buckets of fried chicken to find a cure for breast cancer??? Encourage people to eat unhealthy to raise money to find a "cure"? What's next? Selling pink Marlboro packets?? I can't say that I care much for the Susan G. Komen foundation to begin with but this is getting really...

I don't see anywhere in the reports any proven connection of the raw milk and paralysis. The reports say that the man suffers from Guillain-Barre syndrome. However, studies show that in 60 % of the cases the cause for Guillain-Barre is an influenza virus, it can also be induced by vaccines and...
