I did suffer from this for about 8 months several years ago and am recovered. (Or I guess recovering, because although I am symptom free, they say it can flare up again throughout your life.) The medication that "can cause your hair to fall out" is Elmiron - I was on it for over a year and...

Could it be gout? I think gout often starts with a pain in the big toe - not sure if it's the joint or not...

Ravi and Ana in particular, and other instructors as well, have debunked the myth of "be careful of awakening the Kundalini energy - anything could happen OMG!!!" I remember reading somewhere that that rumor was started in the 60s by some yoga instructors who did not want their students...

I second lorajeanne's suggestion to email ravi/ana at their website and ask them which specific dvds would be helpful for you. They have always responded to my questions quickly and thoroughly. I had a quick look at their A - Z condition list at their website, and found the following under...

I love Kundalini. I did one of Ravi/Ana's dvds about 4 years ago - I started with Yoga Beauty Body - and was immediately hooked. I now own all of their dvds (about 15 - 20 I think) and have bought every other Kundalini dvd on the market, most of which I still have. Kundalini is not at all...

I had a friend who sat on the boards of a couple of different breast cancer foundations. About 7 years ago (when I was freaking out about getting a mammogram) she told me the following: When anyone goes for a mammogram, they can think of 3 big posters. Each poster says 95%. What they mean...

The older Bryan Kest and Baron Baptiste series are also good.

Mel said in an interview several years ago that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which my mother-in-law and niece both suffer from. While Mel's behavior has been horrible, if he is not medicated, his behavior is consistent with bipolar disorder as I have witnessed it - I have seen a...

I have read that some sushi can contain high doses of mercury. Some celebrity last year supposedly developed mercury poisoning because he loved sushi so much he had eaten it almost daily for quite awhile. (However there was speculation that he actually was hospitalized for drug problems and...

Actually the kid might just have been blathering on the way kids do, and the dad may not have even made this comment. I once worked in a very stodgy law office; I had a friend there, Rhonda, who had a 4-year-old son. Rhonda brought her son in to work one day; the son was introduced to...

I drank a ton of it a few years ago when a doctor advised me to give up caffeine for awhile. I really liked it, it tastes a lot like coffee, I like all the different flavors, I love how it's brewed just like coffee. I'd highly recommend it.

We do have a maid (I'm trying to call her a "housecleaner" now because I read a book recently that implied that "maid" is demeaning...) and I LOVE it. I don't enjoy housework at all, I'm a paralegal which can be stressful, when I used to do housework once a week or so I always felt resentful...

My husband takes triphala and has tried many brands - he swears by the Organic India as well.

a.m.: Fish oil, D, occasionally E and selenium, occasionally a vision supplement (with lutein) when I get to work: C p.m.: Amealbp (an over the counter supplement that supports healthy blood pressure), either a strong multiple (Centrum Silver for women) or b complex plus CoQ10 plus...

I agree - instructors should not touch their students - and especially males should not touch females. Bryan Kest and Mark Blanchard, I'm talking to you! I also agree it's disconcerting when instructors complain about how hard the workout is - sometimes it can be cute, like when Cathe says...

This is a very interesting discussion. From the OP's report, I do not think her hubby was verbally abusive just by making the comment "When are you going to start exercising again?" It does sound like he has made other comments about her diet and weight, but it is true he may just think he's...

Clare, thank you for your thoughtful response. I did sit down with the book again and after reading 2/3 through it, it still is not my cup of tea and my initial impression of the characters has not changed much (although I do now cut Salander a bit more slack.) I am now abandoning it with a...

Oh Carrie I am so relieved to read this. Everyone seems to love these books SOOOO much, I sat down today in fact with the first one (Dragon Tattoo) and only made it to about page 25, I got bogged down in the middle of some long-winded section about the backgrounds of the various corporations...

Morningstar, thanks for posting this update. I remember your original post and I'm one of the people who recommended Moondrops so I hope they do make it through customs and you can give them a try. But I'm so happy that you have found a good combination and that you've been able to get some...

I love almost all of Jari's workouts - they suit me perfectly. I did Cathe for many years but now I'm liking lighter weights, more reps. Every time I do Jari I feel great and get a great workout. You might try one to see if it's your cup of tea. My favorites are Ripped to the Core, Ripped...
