    Who on these forums sees a chiropractor? WARNING - LONG POST

    I have had good results with a chiropractor. I would think you should notice some improvement in a week or two of treatments if he is going to be able to do anything for you. I have some scoliosis too. I get spasms across my shoulder blades where the twist starts and spasms across my hips...

    i want a pressure cooker

    I don't pre-soak my beans before pressure cooking. I did a quick google and found this: http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/article/223/27942 It has some info about pressure cooking beans and includes a cooking times chart for various kinds of beans, which is identical to the chart in Lorna...

    i want a pressure cooker

    A 4-qt. pressure cooker would be fine for 1 cup of beans. What kind of beans will you be cooking? For example unsoaked pinto beans take about 25 minutes to cook once pressure is reached. According to the chart I am looking at, soaked pintos should be done in 6 minutes.

    Mysterious Allergic Reaction

    I got hives when I was around 13 after eating a lot of wild blackberries. It was a one-time event--maybe because it was a particularly good year and I never had the opportunity to over-indulge again. I can eat domestic blackberries these days with no problem, but you can't pig out on grocery...

    is IAMS and Science diet really that bad?

    18 years is pretty old for a cat, so she seems to have done OK with her diet. I thought I was being good to my dog by giving him Kirkland brand dog food with all kinds of vegetables and no corn. Shortly after that, he developed colitis with the diarrhea and massive amounts of mucus that goes...

    OOPS! Artichokes not Brussell sprouts

    Give the sprouts a go! I hated them as a kid, but it turns out they were cooked to death. After 40 years of avoiding them, I friend served them for dinner and they were steamed just until tender. They were bright green instead of gray and were sweet and wonderful. Artichokes are just vehicles...

    BMI Question

    I am 5'3" and 136 pounds, which is the top end of my max BMI. I am also 32% body fat, all of which is on my abdomen and waist because I am apple-shaped. That is a bad body-fat distribution associated with increased risk for heart disease and type II diabetes so it is probably not a healthy...

    NYT article--Vitamins Found to Curb Exercise Benefits

    Thanks for the info. It was pointed out at the end that these results came out of this one study and that other studies have shown than supplementation shows benefits. The antioxidants from fruits and vegetables don't seem to have this effect, so the bottom line may be that it is better...

    Eating the wrong foods

    Basically a good diet for weight loss and muscle building consists of lean proteins (including eggs though they are higher in fat), fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy if you don't have dairy issues, and good fats like olive oil, avocados and nuts. Sugar should be avoided. Alcohol...

    Dilema: my pants don't fit:'(

    Your exercise is OK, which leaves diet. Tracking your food is good advice. You might be eating too little even! Why don't you post your findings after a few days with the calorie total for each day along with a list of everything you ate. If you started today, you would have 4 days of info to...
