My estrogen / estradiol levels were way out of wack a while ago according to the blood tests they ran. I had to get them down and get them down fast. The best thing I did was changing my diet, as my weight came down so did the estrogen levels. Any excess weight will increase your estrogen...

Have you tried to cut out dairy products? I had recurring sinus infections and sore throat for years. When I cut out dairy products, the problems disappeared. Just a thought, it might be worth a try. I hope you feel better soon.

You sound like you were a supporter :confused: I don't think there is any question that Obama is smart. You don't get from nothing / humble beginnings to being the President of the Harvard Law Review and then become President of the United States. Connections and a well-known name is a...

Now that I disagree with :p;)

Well said!!!! ITA

It really makes me angry when people say that charities are better suited to take care of "the poor" who get sick. With all due respect this can only come from someone who has no idea what people are going through when they are diagnosed with a severe illness. The last thing that you should have...

Happy Birthday, Nancy!!! Best wishes for the coming year!

If you think that dogs are not pack animals then just watch dogs in a group. I have 5 "domesticated", tame Mini Aussies and there clearly is pack behavior if I let them loose at the dog park or other off leash area. One dog alerts, the others come as a back up, one chases, the others follow...

ITA!!! That's a shocker, isn't it? :p

Thanks Vee!!! I think that was the hardest part for me to recognize that someone who is as outspoken as I am could be an "abused" wife. And for the longest time I brushed off my friends who had recognized it long before I did. That being said, I don't think it is mutually exclusive to have...

Who can forget chocolate:p:D I don't eat dairy based on what I read in The China Study that they were able to turn cancer growth on and off by adding and avoiding casein from milk. I have been eating raw goat milk cheese every once in a while but stopped that again. I do eat fish and seafood...

That is true! My diet consists of mostly raw (whole) food but that is not the diet that most people eat. And even for me I find soy lecithin in almond milk, supplements and cosmetics. All I am saying is, even if there is a compelling medical reason, the consensus is that it should not present a...

I was diagnosed with estrogen positive breast cancer and didn't go the conventional route but instead choose alternative treatment which included a pretty comprehensive change of my diet. I avoid most soy products, particularly isolated soy proteins, but I do eat fermented soy, like soy sauce...

Congrats, Robin!!!!! Sounds like you had a great vacay.

If I were you I would not walk but run away from this jerk. Usually people are at their best behavior at the beginning of a relationship or dating. If he is already disrespectful at that point, it can only get worse. I made the mistake to overlook disrespectful behavior 15 years ago, ended up...

I wasn't referring to you when I said "spreading misinformation", Carrie. I apologize that it came across that way. I was referring to some "journalists" and politicians but I can see that I didn't make that clear with my comment about spreading misinformation. It doesn't matter where in...

I just wish journalists would do their research. I don't know where they get that 40% of the income goes to healthcare. The contribution is 19.7 % of taxable wages, the employer pays 12.8 %, the employee pays 6.9%. In Germany the contribution is 18.5%, half is covered by employer and half by...

German licorice :D:D And I am so lucky because the Cost Plus Worldmarket around the corner has all of my favorites.

The problem is it is just not true!!! There is no wait period in Germany, the insurance industry is regulated. Unlike in the US the insurance company cannot overwrite the doctor. Your health care there truly is between doctor and patient, no insurance bureacrat will be making your diagnosis from...

Okay, so when do you use that vs. which? I think I get that one wrong frequently. But since English is not my native language I have an excuse :cool::p And thanks Jonezie and Lainie, now I want icecream :mad::mad:
