I was just perusing the net and got completely wrapped up in reading about this. Has anyone heard of it? Apparently, A doctor from Germany researched, practiced, and had great success with using a special mix of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese (along with a vegetarian diet forbidding sugar) as a...

I have stated in some threads here that I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. For most of my adult life I suffered with this disease and the side effects of the medication I was prescribed. I described myself as a being trapped inside of my body. I was a walking dead person. I cared about nothing yet...

Heya, I find that when it comes to meal times, I get REALLY hungry, tired, weak and dizzy. It goes away once I've eaten, but comes back again before my next meal - normally if I haven't eaten for 4-5 hours. I also eat HUGE portions of food, I eat pretty healthily (well, so I am told!) and...

hi thread :) so, i just posted in ED Recovery however I'm not anorexic, I simply lost a lot of weight due to being stressed out and busy etc. Anyway, so I've been at this weight for a little while and I eat enough to maintain (aka i haven't lost any more weight) and get a lot of vitamins etc, but...

Hello, I'm having surgery in the morning and I'm going to miss this site for a couple days. I want to say that I have some very well meaning friends but they think my problem, that will be corrected with surgery, is from not eating meat! Most of them will be in attendance tomorrow, bless their...

I'm DYING here. I feel a TON of sinus pressure (might be getting an infection too), have a non-stop runny nose, lots of sneezing, teeth pain (everything is connected), plugged ears, and body aches. Anyone else suffering? Any tips/suggestions for getting relief? I've tried all of the OTC...

Has anyone in Europe been offered the package leaflet for the H1N1 Vaccine? We are supposed to read it before having the shot. You can find them here. http://www.emea.europa.eu/ Of the three vaccines being offered, two contain chicken protein; the other contains vero cells (Epithelial cells...

If so, what were the side effects. I'm hearing that most people are getting cold symptems from it. Also wondering, if someone in the family gets the vaccine and gets cold symptems and passes it on, will it be a cold that gets passed or the flu????

I would like to change doctors and want to find a doctor who is veg*n and altenartive medicine friendly. I went to pcrm and could not find any lists. I googled it and did not come up with anything. Does anyone know a place that has a list of doctors that would fit the bill?

Who does it? ME!!!!!! :) First time was Christmas eve 2008. I went with my mom and my boyfriend. My mom couldn't donate because she needed a written notice from her doctor to do so as she is a cancer survivor. My boyfriend couldn't because he didn't know the results to his ultrasound for his tummy...

I've had weird problems the last few years with my skin. It all started after I had a severe bout of Mononucleosis and Hepatitis at the same time. I was in bed for months and after I recovered, I haven't been the same. Anyway... I started having boils (staph) a couple of years ago. They are...

I'm almost never sick but the past two days I've had a low fever. I grew up being treated by being given tylenol every six hours, but all tylenol does is reduce your fever for a while, then it comes back. Is there anyway to get rid of a fever without pills? Obviously resting and sleep but anything...

Some highlights from the first comprehensive blood test I've had since becoming vegan 11 years ago: + total cholesterol: 140 (HDL:44 LDL:70) + risk of cardiovascular disease: < 0.2 (considered EXTREMELY low risk) - < 1.0 = low risk - 1.0 to 3.0 = moderate risk - 3.0 to 10.0...

I hope I put this in the right forum. Does anyone else here use a crystal deodorant? I've been using it since early August with no problem...but about three weeks ago I started to get itchy in all of the places where I apply it. After about a week and a half those places turned VERY red and are...

Tuesday I'm scheduled for an operation and the whole house just came down with strep throat. I'm feeling a little fluey right now. Will they still go forward the operation if I'm sick? What if I don't have a fever but just feeling ill? :sick:

Has anyone had it or due to have it? Judging by The China Study, then us vegans don't need it... but better safe than sorry??? I'm unsure. What is the vegan-ness of the needle any ways? I think it's unlikely to be veg*n friendly. Your thoughts?
