My neighborhood is restless with anticipation. I went for a walk today. There were people doing last minute vegetable shopping (like me) in a small vegetable store which I have never seen so empty of produce. Mostly the customers were chatty and friendly, more so than usual. I think people had reached the point where they were as prepared as they were going to get and now it is time […]
The big news today is all about digestion. I’m continuing to work on the candida issue and I’m still trying to figure out food sensitivities. Candida First, on the candida front, I’ve increased my daily intake of 5 LAC to two packets a day. It’s part of my candida program, using probiotics that eat yeast.

Yesterday I took a homeopathic remedy based on my constitutional symptoms. The first time I did this, I had a cold […]
It think I’ve had a migraine for the past three days. That’s why I haven’t been blogging. My headache was triggered by the sunlight which I couldn’t avoid while driving to and from Connecticut to be with a friend and see my naturopath(more on that visit in another post). My eyeballs were the first to start hurting. Then it turned into a very intense pain on the right side of […]
