Interesting timing- I saw oxtails at the supermarket yesterday and was wondering what I would do with them if I bought them. I had no idea, so didn't buy them.

My eyes are extremely light sensitive and I wear sunglasses almost all the time during the day outdoors, sunny or cloudy. Actually cloudy days can sometimes hurt my eyes even more, as "white" light...

I've literally gone nearly a year without any real sun. Last year we had one of the most overcast summers on record. Then winter, which even when sunny, matters little our latitude. We're just now...

When I read this yesterday in the news, the part that struck me is that lap band surgery is essentially an enforcer when the person doesn't have the proper willpower to stop eating when they should,...

I'm hypothyroid/Hashi's with low D and supplement with 5000IU D3 a day plus some time in the sun (weather and season depending). Even on that, my D levels drop during the winter. I'm good in the...

I'm hypothyroid (Hashi's) and used to have severe hypoglycemic symptoms when I ate CW. I had to eat often, and when I crashed I had to eat NOW. I would get the shakes and brain fog so severe I...

This was forecasted over a year ago, when the drought hit and livestock farmers began slaughtering their herds because they could not afford the feed. Initially meat prices went down, now they are...

What does your doctor use as "normal" in his labs? Many docs still use outdated lab figures such as 4.5 or 5.0 TSH as normal when in fact anything over 2.0 is a problem. They should also be checking...

Soup. A super easy one that I like is beef vegetable but made with hamburger. Fry up the burger, add water, add frozen vegetables, add seasonings (cayenne and garlic will help a cold) and simmer for...

I would say if you are clinically depressed, that's probably the biggest contributor to you acting like an Ass#ole. You'll have to get a handle on that if you expect to be easier to be around.

Technically I met mine in high school- but he barely knew I existed. Fast forward 10 years and I ran into him at a dance club. I had a crush on him in high school, but the night I ran into him at a...

I live in Alaska where right now it's getting light at 5am and dark after 10pm, so for us blackout blinds are a must. By Solstice it'll be staying light until 2am. It really messes up the internal...

I've slept with earplugs for over 15 years now. I'm picky, I only use MAX Ear plugs, they're nice and soft and you can twirl them down to a nice skinny size to insert into your ear and then they puff...

I've got Hashis and my doctor has never tried to get me to do a crazy low calorie diet. And Hashis definitely can kill your metabolism- it did mine. I had to go on meds to get my metabolism squared...

Typically you avoid goitrogens like uncooked broccoli and cauliflower (cooked is ok). Don't supplement with iodine but you don't need to avoid foods that have it naturally present. Get tested for...

Looks like a great reason to include both in my diet. :) I love pretty much all seafood and shellfish.

I second the idea of running a HEPA filter in her bedroom. I have found with my own allergies that the simple act of keeping the air in the bedroom as allergen free as possible is super helpful,...

I would say no. My parents never had candy or soda in the house. When I was a kid I resented that, but when I became an adult I didn't have the desire to eat those things. I have maybe 1 soda a year....

I eat about 1 lb a week of uncured, nitrite/nitrate free type.

I steam them and then slather them in butter.

First- damn. What a comment to make. Biking is low impact- why on earth should an 80 year old not be biking? It's fantastic exercise.

Second- one thing a vegan diet is fantastic at is building...

That is freaking hilarious. :D

I've noticed the same thing here- my cravings seem to be either seasonal, or perhaps weather related. I've gone through three bags of oranges in the past week. Totally craving them.

Living in Alaska, we catch a freezer full of Salmon in the fall and eat it for the rest of the year. Personally I prefer to slow-thaw salmon prior to cooking it. I drop the filet (still wrapped in...

Good for you for going to the doc. Diabetes is something that should be tested for routinely anyway, since it's relatively a "silent disease" for a long time. I have an acquaintance that got a...
