DEALIN WITH STRESS……….CATECHOLAMINES

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

I already know of the hot-temperedness of extreme Os.
But my thing is……the post-argument, the post-excitement thing. I
read the scientific rationale of catecholamines in LVR4T.
Since september, I believe i have stopped expressing negative
emotions out loud to people that trigger that in me……and I did it
because the “post-blurting out” of my negative feelings gets me
remorseful an many times I get this bad withdrawal where i have to
sit ina corner and wait for it to die down etc etc.
I like the results of my action, but it feels weird for me not to
erupt in anger when i desire to….like i’m being fake.
I also have not participated in any “playing against the middle”
things with other people(you know, where you tell Bill things that
piss you off about Fred, when Bill is mad at Fred…..and vice
versa). I’ll have to say the whole catecholamine problem has kinda
settled down because of this change. I’m just waiting for what will

Hi Max,
I am on another list and the person who started it is a man named Dr. Jon. I
am sure that others on this list know about him. Anyway, he says that anyone
who says that coral calcium is better than any other calcium is a snake oil
salesman. Don’t know about ordinary calcium and cancer.

where is it?

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

i found a website while going through archives of blood type lists
with a list of foods b/n/a and apparently didn’t mark it and now i
can’t find it again = actually i didn’t think i’d need it with the
books but now i find it’s easier to look some things up while on the
puter - does anyone have the url handy?

heating element

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Hey Max……..you said you had to replace your heating element in
the oven. I’m glad you brought htis up.
8 years ago some electrician tell me to never use aluminum foil to
wrap the RACKS in teh oven…….
he says that will burn out your element. I hope i understood him
clear, but i see most people wrap their wracks in foil, or of course
they will wrap the “reservoir” circle thingies below the surface
heating elements on the oven.
anyone ever been told this?

favorite kitchen tools

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

My favorites are the old basics. I own few appliances and “modern”
conveniences. They clutter the kitchen counter/cupboards, and just do what I
can do with a good cutting board, set of sharp knives, a few wooden spoons, a
spatula, a whisk and a few decent pots and pans. All those appliances are so
you can cook and not actually do anything. Well, I like to cook. I like to
handle the food. I like the time I spend planning and preparing a meal.
Cooking is a process, it is more to me than a meal slapped down to be gobbled
up. I own mostly old-fashioned stuff I inherited from my mother and
grandmother, or bought at Salvation Army (like all my Pyrex).
I do own a bread machine, I use it to beat the dough, but then I bake the
bread in the oven. It’s nasty when you make it in the machine. I have made
spelt bread this way, plus rye bread. Just bought some quinoa flour, will be
giving that a try.
I also own a crock pot, and do use it for making meals, as I can leave it on
all day, and have a good dinner when I come home.

Acne/eczema

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has cleared their acne from doing this
diet? My doctor told me to try this diet for type O+, but, I am not
sure I should go through all this unless I see that it has worked for
other’s acne. So does anyone still have acne when they are sticking
to it? I was also if anyone here is doing the blood type diet with
all RAW / UNCOOKED foods.
thanks, Holly

In Case You Missed It

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

Incase you missed it:
(Jan. 30) — Mothers on a vegan diet could be putting their babies at risk
for developmental problems.
The CDC has documented two cases of neurological impairment in babies who
were breastfed by mothers on a vegan diet, which does not allow any meat,
fish, seafood, or dairy in the diet. The babies suffered from a deficiency of
vitamin B-12, even though both mothers claimed to have taken supplements,
says the report, which appears in the Jan. 31 issue of the CDC’s Morbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report.
Case 1. A 15-month-old girl was hospitalized for anemia and a condition
called “failure to thrive,” which means that the child was not developing
properly for her age. Blood tests revealed that the child had a vitamin B-12
deficiency.
The girl had been breastfed for eight months by a mother who was following a
vegan diet and who took nutritional and vitamin supplements. When the girl

? on natural supplements for menopause

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

Last month had my gynie check up and doctor is not prescribing
premarin any longer. I’m finishing up my prescription taking one
every other day instead of stopping cold. Have read Natural Hormone
Balance for Women and he suggests certain supplements and food options
in lieu of a prescription for estriol.
So far only having trouble getting a good night’s sleep and a little
warm occasionally, but I’m really concerned about bone loss down the
road. Have been taking one 5 HTP at night and that seems to help with
sleep. Is there anyone on the list that has taken 5 HTP regularly for
a while? Are there any problems with taking that long term? And has
anyone taken natural supplements to help with bone loss? Any comments
would be greatly appreciated.

newbie with questions

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

Hi, I am brand new at this and have some questions. Can I use spelt flour in the
same amount as regular recipes call for regular white flour? Has anyone ground
whole spelt to make flour? Can’t the webmaster kick that person offering porn
off the site? Pam
