I take a multi vitamin , saw palmetto, boitin, vitamin-c ,& b-vitamins, fish oil in the morning with apple cider vinager. In the evening I take saw palmetto, Grape seed extract, stinging nettle, & fish oils

As long as you don’t take them with Antibiotics you’ll be fine :)

If they are going to populate the intestinal tract, its not as if the Vitamins or food is going to get in the way….

My 18 months old daughter is very picky eater. Her doctor recommended me to give her some vitamin Supplements but didn’t say the brand.

That young, you should really give them like the Enfamil supplement drops. When she is 2, you can start to give her the regular Vitamins like the flintstones or gummies because they’re for ages 2 and up. I will warn you though, babies do NOT like the drops, and I don’t blame them they smell bad and I bet they taste worse!

I’m looking to try out something similar to a velocity diet or metabolic diet. Over the past few days I’ve reading about weight loss and have come up with a plan for myself. I would like for some of you to give me some feedback.
Height: 6′1 and change
Weight(last known):200lbs
Things I consume throughout the day:
Liquid Vitamin, Protein shakes, liquid fiber, frozen chicken patty, frozen chicken fried steak patty, universal animal pak cuts. Now, if I eat that everyday, with 3 protein shakes a day I come out with these totals:
Calories:1315 Carbs:72g Fat:45g Protein:162g

I do cardio every day whether its running or on a bike or both, also I lift weights everyday. One thing I can already see that could be wrong with my current diet is the low calories and the slightly high amount of carbs.

Yeah, your calories should be higher, and your carbs should be lower. I know you’re trying to find a velocity or metabolic way but it can only be one way.

Be sure to eat 5-6 meals a day, protein in each meal if possible. Also I would go for fresh foods rather than frozen foods. Just my choice.

So far it seems decent, see how it works out. Be aware that if you have low protein and low calories, but you’re doing a lot of cardio, you may be losing fat, but you are also losing muscle. Lift weights then do cardio at the end. Work one or two muscle groups per day. 5 days a week, 2 days off.
Good luck.

I’m looking for any review article that mentions clinical studies, involving groups of patients or test subjects, fasting for multiple days. I’d like to know the health effects of such fasts, (juice fasts, water-only fasts, etc.) I am *not* looking for articles written about pre-operative fasting and its relation to anethesiology. I am *not* looking for articles on fasting in relation to Type 2 Diabetes. I am also *not* looking for the effects of long-term hunger on people in impoverished areas of the world. Lastly, I am *not* looking for undocumented webpages, written by crackpot authors touting M.D.’s. Thanks for your help in this difficult search.

try Google’s Scholar search – it’ll find actual research publications for you

I have hyperacusis as a result of sensory issues (no autism or anything, just genetics), and I really want to be able to enjoy things like my boyfriend’s concerts, church services, movies in theaters, etc. As mentioned in another question, I have a massive neurological-based spasm/grimace (loss of muscle control) that occurs for just a few seconds when I’m around loud noise until I brace myself. This makes it hard for me to have much of a social life as a teenager.

I’m trying aroma therapy and pressure/massage therapy, but I’m seriously considering something like the Ease CD’s. Does anyone have any experience with any AIT things you can do at home? I’d really like opinions before I invest my limited funds into this.

Most of the ‘cures’ for being hypersensitive to loud noises are very expensive and will undo themselves if you’re exposed to loud sounds! Isn’t that the point of curing myself– to be around them? Anyone have any ideas?
Before anyone suggests it, I cannot wear earplugs– they make me dizzy and actually amplify the part of the sound that hurts me. I think it’s certain vibrations and pitches that cause the problem.

Also, I can listen to music very very loud on earphones (most of the time), so training myself to receive loud noises will not work as a therapy. It is not the loudness of the noise (though that is painful, I can deal with it)– it’s the spasming that comes with certain-pitched loud noises.

I’ve looked into Berard AIT but don’t have the money… and as I said, it doesn’t look like it will actually allow me to have a life even if I successfully complete it.
No hyperacusis gene to my knowledge. Others in my family have a lot of hypersensitivity to clothes, smells, etc., but I’m the only one with hyperacusis.
I do have SID, or at least some form of it, but insurance covers nothing because I’m ‘too old’. I eat almost completely organic– no food colorings, very few preservatives, very little white flour and simple sugars. I take acidophilus and cranberry extract Supplements, and I think 80% of my food is ‘fortified’ with Omega 3 fatty acid and/or olive oil.

If money were not a factor, I would say to try Berard, or Tomatis, because what I have heard and read indicate that they are helpful for many people! My son had lots of sensory issues (sounds-and, like you, it seemed to be certain tones and pitches, rather than volume-touch,smell, etc.), but he also had PDD-NOS, which is a form of autism. He improved as he got older. I think that some of the PT things (like "brushing", "putting hands in warm water, then cold water", etc.) helped, and I think that some of the dietary and nutritional things helped. [ I wonder if you would see any improvement if you eliminated food colorings and preservatives, had food allergy testing done, and added probiotics (such as acidophilus), and essential fatty acids (such as flaxseed oil, or fish oil) to your diet?]Google "Sensory Integration Disorder", and you may find some helpful info. The book "The Out of Sync Child at Play" has lots of games for younger kids with sensory issues. Good luck!

? Cold Thai Summer Vegetable Stew ?

* I n g r e d i e n t s *
…..All quantities in this recipe are up to you! Use your intuition. ;-)
— 1 Young Coconut (water)
— Carrots, several to be juiced
— Carrots, a few to be chopped
— Peas, shelled
— Cherry Tomatoes
— Kale, with leaves torn off of stems
— Collard Greens, with leaves torn off of stems
— Red Chard, with leaves torn off of stems
— Lettuce
— Garlic Cloves
— Optional Additions…only if you need them!: sea salt, olive oil, hot pepper, avocado, corn

* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) Open the young coconut—refer to this video if you need help: http://bit.ly/u9Q4j —and pour its water into your Vita-Mix, or other high-powered blender of your choice. http://bit.ly/GZsuq or http://bit.ly/3OTXD9

— 2) Add chopped carrots, shelled peas & cherry tomatoes, followed by all the leafy greens: kale, collard greens, lettuce & red chard (make sure to tear the leaves off of the thick stems first!), and any of the optional additions you might need.

— 3) Lightly blend in your Vita-Mix, but not too much…you’ll want to leave it looking like a chunky stew…and then transfer to individual soup bowls.

— 4) Run the carrots you designated for juicing through your Breville juicer, or whatever the best juicer is for you. http://bit.ly/mIrEW

— 5) Serve soup with a pitcher of carrot juice offered on the side. The carrot juice allows people to thin out, sweeten and/or tone down a spicy soup, so as to suit their individual taste buds.

— 6) Enjoy!
