"Healthpoint TSH Thyroid Home Test Kit"
About 5 years ago I found out that I had a deficient thyroid gland. So my doctor ordered a TSH test to determine how much medication I needed to boost my thyroid's performance. The problem I had was the $200 laboratory charge for the TSH test! Ouch!!! I remembered reading about home test kits for hormone levels and thought that maybe a home kit for thyroid testing might be available. What I found was the BioSafe TSH Thyroid Test Kit and recommended it to you. The problem now is that their company seems to have gone out of business. >>MORE

"Walk on Ice or Snow with Stabilicers Lite"
Last winter I bought Stabilicers Lite to wear when we had snow fall or ice in our Julian mountains. These little metal cleated bands of elastomer fit over all my shoes and kept me and my husband, RobART, from slipping on our icy wooden decks during the winter. We could walk all over the park without slipping! Who would have imagined that these little things could be so powerful!

"First Aid for Kitchen Burns"
During our scouting trip to Portland, Oregon trying to find new offices for ChezBettay.com and BareFeats.com, I prepared dinner and breakfast in our hotel room. I used a portable gas butane stove and on the second day in Portland, I leaned over to reach for the spatula behind the burner and burned the underside of my forearm on the edge of a hot skillet.

"Warding Off Warts"
I suffered from warts when I was a preschooler and my mother took me to a doctor to have them burned off my fingers with an electric needle. It was extremely painful and because I didn't respond to Novocain like other patients, the removal was a painful experience. The entire experience plagued me with a fear of doctors all through my childhood. In fact, just seeing a needle or thinking about it would cause me to faint. Anyway, I know what it's like to suffer with warts!

Many of you may have seen Dr. Oz on the Opray Show. During one segment, the Neti Pot was demonstrated by an audience member. She held the small porcelain pot filled with warm water and sea salt and placed the tip of the pot into one nostril while leaning forward over a bowl.

"What Do Vegan's Eat?"
The first question I'm asked about being a vegan is: "If you don't eat meat, chicken or fish, what do you eat?"

Right away I know that it's just too hard for many of you to get a handle on the experience of not eating animal protein. After all, the American culture has been eating protein-animal-based meals forever! I know about this first hand because before becoming a vegan,... >MORE
