In a hurry, as usual, I picked up the only brand of parchment paper in the regular grocery store: Reynolds.

I think my problems started around 14 when I started having irregular periods. I gained 40 lbs over the summer one year. I soon figured out that If I dieted and ate no carbs, I could make my peroid come. I still didn't make the connection. So I…

Must look at current research in PubMed. MTHFR just identified around 1998, variants in 2001 and 2003. 35-50% of Americans affected with this gene polymorphism. Mandatory folic acid fortification in our foods since January 1, 1998.

From there and my own experimentations am thoroughly enjoying our adventures with kefir and its healing powers. Pictures of the development of my giant kefir which several of us variously labeled as Kefirzilla, Kefir Manna Colony, and other suggested names, may be seen at:…

14 day green smoothie challenge. I saw on facebook this starts Monday, December 6; only eat green smoothie in the morning. Sounds good to me. I hope to post what my green smoothies consist of. I like Hallelujah Acres barley max, so I'll include that in the smoothie, plus, greens and frozen fruits - maybe some soy protein powder and fresh cut ginger - YUM - thanks for the challenge - good to have goals. : )

I still want to lose about 5 or 6…
