I had three bouts of awful sciatica flareups that took up to 4 weeks to start improving. I could hardly walk and the pain went in the butt and leg and lower back. I've been seeing a chiropractor to control but not cure it. When I start to get "cocky" and go higher in the impact, I start to...

I had three awful attacks of sciatica and I literally could not walk without excruciating pain in the butt and leg. I couldn't go to work for a couple of days and then hobbled to the subway and feared the trip home. I went to the chiropractor and it took a good three weeks to "begin" to feel...

As a woman who feeds the strays in my neighborhood, it was wonderful to hear a happy ending for the kitty. Brought tears to my eyes.

Try amazing grass products. The best tasting wheat grass, chlorella, spirulina and other antioxidants. Website: www.amazinggrass.com. The chocolate is delicious (it's the best cocoa, high antioxidant). I take both the regular one and the chocolate one. I also take Emerald Balance, a whole...

active supporter too. Saw the article and was reading it this morning on the subway.

I've had three bouts of sciatica in the past four-five years. It was the most painful experience next to having my daughter (which was shorter than the weeks of agony with sciatica). I would hardly walk and had to limp in extreme pain on my left side. The chiropractor helped me alot - I...

Yikes, how cute....gave him a 10.

Aubrey Products or Jason products - both available in the vitamin shop.

Hi Jerry, Just wanted to chime in - my mom also has alzheimer's and right now is pretty functional living with my brothers on a rotating basis by month. My dad died January and mom doesn't remember him. She knows me when I take her out to lunch every Saturday, but doesn't remember where she...

I have been a Cathe fanatic since Step 'n Motion I in the late eighties, buying every one of her products - 4DS has been a big disappointment for me - I found the step workouts extremely frustrating, and the quick steps and turnarounds easily can cause me to injure myself. I absolutely loved...

Alvarado California Bread or the Sprouted Barley Bread are the best breads and the only ones I use. They are costly but worth it.

Emily, I am in week five of my sciatica attack and it is much better but I dare not try these workouts for a while. And even then, I will be always doing them lower intensity. This is my third attack in five years, and I'm not taking any more chances. I will still do them, but I call it the...

I was sitting at my desk in Midtown Manhattan when I got a phone call from a woman who was laid off on September 10th telling me that a plane hit the WTC - I first thought it was an accident - then she called me back when the second plane hit and I knew it was more than that. We were told to...

I have two parakeets and four cockateils. One of the parakeets was given to me by my brother who never tamed him and didn't take good care of him - when we got him, he was small and malnourished with a little hump back - so very tiny for a parakeet. The vet couldn't believe how small he was -...
