Soapbox!

I'm always happy to see any discussion about B12 deficiency (and other nutritional deficiency, for that matter). I suffered neurological and other symptoms for years before being diagnosed with B12 deficiency, and even then I had a low normal level of 294 (150-1100). I'm quite certain I was low in B...

Re: Optimized B-Complex

Hi all, I found a new (to me, anyway) B-complex recently, and this time, I checked out the allergens it's free of VERRRRY carefully before I bought it. It's put out by Jarrow Formulas, in a bottle of 100 capsules. Took my first one of them tonight without difficulty swallowing it, so lets hope that...

I have to admit that both of my daughters had suspicious neurological symptoms present near time of vaccination... although it was not the absolute beginning of their total health problems.... and it took me an uncanny amount of time to put it together.

Yes... there have been two studies published in the last two months! And only a couple I've found related at all, previously. The gluten free/casein free diet has been around since the 1960's for treating autism... mostly rebuked by mainstream medicine. Now, some fifty years later... the proof is st...

We've been able to find the Rice, Corn, Honey Nut and Strawberry gluten free versions, but have not yet seen the Cinnamon or Chocolate in our area stores... but we check every time. What I like most is to be able to have some "regular" cereal in the house for when other family members come...

I have to say, I have not ever noticed any direct benefit for my younger daughter... and we always have to go very slow because of the rumbly tummy they give her...at least initially. I tend to think this may mean she actually needs them :???: . On the other hand, my older daughter was having repeat...

Probiotics

I have found it interesting that there is a sudden upswing in research about probiotics. I'm pretty sure just ten years ago talk about leaky gut and probiotics were considered fringy. Happy to see more and more research in support of using probiotics. But... here are just some of the more recent stu...

Sorry Lucy, I missed this post until just now... but I did answer your PM! I'm still amazed at the coincidence of your message coming in on the very day Anne was passing through WI, and she was sitting right next to me while I read it! I've been slowing working my way through the various areas here....
