    Resource Preventing Sleep Apnea Therapy was Miracle Cure for Me

    Pretend to buy some. The next page says that a prescription is required. Sneaky, right?

    Resource Preventing Sleep Apnea Therapy was Miracle Cure for Me

    I've been searching, and every vendor in my Google hits requires a prescription. Offshore pharmacies don't carry it.

    Poll What type(s) of doctor gave you your diagnosis for ME/CFS?

    I got sick in 1985. I was diagnosed with CFS in the early '90s. This GP was in a group practice with Dr. Teitelbaum, who was just getting interested in CFS. There was no treatment. I manage my own CFS. I saw Dr. Teitelbaum in 2001, and Dr. Rey in 2013-2015. Neither one had anything for me...

    Resource Preventing Sleep Apnea Therapy was Miracle Cure for Me

    Dairy was causing my apnea (diagnosed in a sleep lab). It makes the back of my throat swell just enough to cause obstruction lying down.

    Finally got my Hemp Oil

    I just found my notes from when I tried Cibdex last year. A normal dose is 15 drops once or twice a day (according to the bottle). I took 5 drops and was a zombie the next day. Every 15 drops contains 1.25mg CBD. I notice that each vendor has a unique way of describing potency. I also...

    Finally got my Hemp Oil

    What effects did you get as you built up to the normal dose? I can't ever take the normal dose of anything.

    Kombucha - It's Working

    @Who Me? I'm sorry you have so many food restrictions! But my point was that very tiny amounts of fermented, live cultures can have profound effects over time. Cort says similar about his Kombucha only working at the right dose.

    Kombucha - It's Working

    I've started on the GAPS diet, which was invented for IBS and similar. [I'm trying it for reflux.] A very small amount of fermented food daily is a cornerstone of the eating plan, because of the probiotics. The more extreme your symptoms, the smaller the dose you start with......starting with...

    What Kind of Protein/Fat/Carb Diet Are You On?

    Whole teff cooked with almond milk makes an amazing breakfast cereal. Teff is a little sweet and a little nutty, and very nutritious.

    How members can help HR grow and thrive

    I was contacted by a friend on PR, who told me that a lot of people have come over here. I checked, and the forums are much more active than when I joined. So now I'm looking for threads to post on, to help keep things moving, and so people can get to know me. The personal contact was a...

    Poll The Family-Get-Together Poll: Are They Worth It?

    I'm about to happily miss my mom's 95th birthday party in Ohio. It's true that I can't rent a car and navigate in a strange city, and that I can't eat the $45 a plate food at the fancy dinner that will run too late for me. So I have good excuses. But really, even if I felt absolutely fine, I...

    heartburn drugs linked to risk of dementia

    I've lived with "silent reflux" for almost 2 years. I don't get heartburn as long as I'm careful with my diet, but I clear my throat all day long. I'm still experimenting to see if I can heal it. ACV didn't do anything for me.

    Poll The Family-Get-Together Poll: Are They Worth It?

    I don't even talk with siblings on the phone; they think it's all in my head. But when my kids come visit with boyfriends/girlfriends, it's totally great. They know visiting them is out of the question (45 minutes or 4 hours away), and they're always welcome here. My kids grew up around my...
