    Where did everyone go to college?

    University of Wisconsin Madison. Madison is such an awesome city, everyone I know who moves here never wants to leave.

    Handling difficult people (long)

    I feel for you! Just hold on to your dignity and don't stoop to her level. Others see her just as you do. I mean, it's not as if she is sweet to everyone else and manipulating you or something, right? I'm also quiet and people tend to think I'm stuck up or stand-offish when they first...

    Allergies + Honey

    Honey can be helpful but it must be RAW and unfiltered. Bee pollen will help the honey along since it's really the pollen in the honey which desensitizes you. For my allergies, I take chlorella all summer and have had nary a symptom in two years. That is, unless I stop taking it. I get it...

    Stevia

    I use the powder in my tea and I use a drop or two of the English Toffee flavor drops in my plain yogurt. Yummy! Some people say it has an aftertaste so if you find that is true for you Body Ecology makes really good drops. A little goes a long way...

    kids and school germs/illnesses

    If there is one thing that will weaken the immune system it is sugar/white flour. Are you sure he isn't getting sugar at school? From the other kids? It seems like mine get it EVERYWHERE! The bank, teachers, grandma, other kids, birthday parties, and I don't keep sweets/junk in the house at...

    spider vein removal

    I had thought about this too, but now I think I'm going to try the natural route. Probably will try VASKO. I'll keep you posted whether or not it works.

    Milk--Low Fat vs Whole Fat

    I didn't realize Diana Schwarzbein had written a second book! Is it worth buying? Different enough from the first? I think it definitely is better to buy organic milk! I do sometimes skim my "farm milk" and it is easy to do, if I want the cream for a recipe or to give the cat a treat. I...

    Bare Essentials

    I had looked into these but thought you had to sign up to have monthly shipments or whatever which I don't want. Maybe I will look on ebay.

    Milk--Low Fat vs Whole Fat

    I drink whole milk, but I get it raw from the farm so it is unprocessed. Any milk you get from the store is processed, but they do add more undesireables to the low-fat varieties.

    Which rebounder?

    The Needak is the only American made rebounder but is pretty expensive. I would like to get one to support American business and whatnot but I don't think I want to spend that kind of money. So I guess I'm going to bump this one as I could use advice myself!

    Fat Grams etc etc

    I'm glad to see you switched to butter! It has lots of good stuff in it including vitamin A, medium-chain triglycerides which are burned off rather than stored as fat, and lauric acid which is anti-microbial and anti-viral. Margarine, on the other hand, is produced with toxic solvents like...

    Master Cleanser Journal (DO NOT read if easily grossed out!)

    RE: Master Cleanser Journal (DO NOT read if easily gros... I have lost faith in MD's as well! They can not learn what they aren't taught, however, and our health care system is woefully misguided. The fact is, there are studies about the effects of healthy foods, plant-based medicines, etc...

    "Cleanse" Your Way to Weight Loss and Better Workouts

    RE: I had worms. I used Body Ecology's Eco-Clear formula and passed quite a few. I want DH to try it now because he lives on junk food and soda but he won't...yet... I would have never known they were there if I hadn't tried to get rid of them.

    shave or wax?

    I won free lasering from a health expo drawing I entered. I'm having my armpits done because they never look shaved and the hair grows so fast. The two treatments I had hurt a lot but she said the more hair in an area the more it hurts, and I have a lot! They will also turn the laser down if...

    Bug Repellent?

    mercola.com sells a chemical free insect repellent which is basically neem plant extract and some other botanicals. It smells good but I haven't tried it out yet.

    Does anyone know a low fat tartar sauce.

    Tyler Florence has a good tartar sauce recipe you could make with fat free mayo or whatever. Do a search on the food network website for his recipe for fish sticks- it is on the side. (I made the fish sticks too and the kids loved them!)
