Teacup Chihuahua Dog food?
Posted by admin on Mar 11, 2010
he is 4 months old and when i got him he was on Iams puppy food and recently he keeps spitting it out. so i went today and got him Nutro Natural health lamb and rice puppy formula. Is this a good dog food to be feeding him? He eats it and seems to like it better but i have another dog and i feed him pedigree and my chihiuhua seems to wanna eat a little of his food to. But as of now i have a whole bag of Iams and Nutro natural health and he has been eating the nutro. Is this the right thing to be doing or have him on?
Look for a food without any corn, wheat, soy, or by products that lists a meat as the first ingredient.

Paste your code here!working in a job that works with natural health and the digestive system… Anyone a Naturopath?
Posted by admin on Mar 8, 2010
Hey i graduated from school about a year ago and i do not know where to start to go to post secondary school. I know right now i hate my jobs… i cannot work another 9-5 job that i hate 5 days a week. luckily i live with my parents still and so money will not be a issue for living expense and i will get a student loan for school. But i’ve really been thinking about what i want to do and I’m thinking the one thing I’m insanely interested in is the digestive system and how it heals everything. I read book after book on it. But then I’m finding that i can’t really find a job in just that…. i was thinking about becoming a Naturopath but school is so expensive and one day i want to raise a family and only work 2-3 days a week so i don’t think that would be ideal to go to school for 8 years an rack up that much in student loans.
So what I’m wondering is…. does anybody know of any jobs that could be similar to this field but not as qualified and where do i even get started? I’ve been looking online for schools but I’m so confused. I live in the BC, Canada.
Also… a natural health consultant i’ve been looking into becoming. Do they really have a stable job out there in the world today?
also i would be extremly interested in woman’s studies. Maybe becoming a natural midwife but the problem is i don’t want to do it through government funded medical school i don’t believe in the drugs at all or the way they treat giving birth as a illness not a natural process
Ha. I don’t want answers from anyone who is not in the natural health field
Because you guys are totally ignorant to what you have been learning all your lives.. I am not lazy and i have been raised in natural health all my life. working with the Ph balance of the body is my main thing but i have just recently got interested in the digestive system.
P.s naturapath are not quacks they do the exact same school as a doctor! they just don’t use cover ups (drugs) to fix things they work with the balance of the body and let the body fix itself!
and ……Healthy Skeptic.
you really honestly have no idea what your talking about.
Oh my god… You are rediculous. Let me re-write your question using different, but equal wording. Maybe you will see how rediculous this is.
You: "I’m incredibly lazy. I hate having to actually go to a job during normal work hours on a regular basis. I am a full grown adult that has graduated from college, but I still live at home and rely on my hard working, aging parents. I just want a job that pays well, and allows me to work about half as much as most people. This job must align itself with my false notions, conspiracy theories, etc. I am willing to allow the government to "fund me" with a student loan, but I certainly don’t want to go to a legitimate academic institution because I don’t trust government funded institutions. I read a book once that was written by some quack about the digestive system. Since I don’t know much about the human body (or science in general), the book was able to fool me into believing everything it said."
Sorry if that is harsh, but its true. Can you provide some specific examples of what makes you think that mainstream medicine "treats giving birth as a illness, not a natural process". That statement is just wrong…and stupid.

Posted by admin on Mar 5, 2010
I took a dose of Redline today. I admit- it was more than a sample, it was a dose. I had a bit of food on my stomach. Within 5 minutes a burning, sweating, nauseating sensation overcame me. My pupils dialated- to the point of blurred vision. My heart was beating so fast I could see my breasts shaking under my shirt. I begged Jesus to let me live!! I lost 5lbs in one day! This was recommended to me at a health food store for a "natural alternative" to ADD meds. It has been 12 hours and i still feel the effects- only not as bad. I still can’t eat, ven though my stomach feels like it is touching itself. So horrible- do not take more than 1/16 of a dose without a big meal first!
Drink lots of water to get it passed through your system faster. Sounds like your one of type that can’t take much supplimentation because you react extreme to it. I’ve never heard of anyone dying from it especially if they’ve taken it as directed. Redline is a thermogenic which raises your body temperature to burn more calories. Usually these types of suppliments have other chemicals in them especially caffein. Shed fat through the shivering response in the body. By shivering the body burns huge amounts of stored bodyfat for energy in an effort to keep the body warm.
Maybe next time halve your dose and take it with a small meal. Suppliments like this don’t have a huge effect on me since I take pure ephedra with a caffein and an asprine. Ephedra (thermogenetic), caffein (energy), asprine (blood thinner) get it all pumping. That mix’ll wake the dead.

Posted by admin on Mar 2, 2010
The dog catcher came into my yard today and told me why I did not have my dog vaccinated. In truth I don’t but I give my dog natural medicines plus she also gets vitamins instead of government approved vaccines. He gave me a warning but the dude look so menacing and had a police badge and look like he could sucker me into several of hundred of dollars in B.S. shots and fines. Its just sad
I know how this can be. I chose, yes chose, not to get my newer dog get some vaccines. The reason? My dog is a house pet. He is tiny and will never be exposed to rabies ,unless I get it and bite him. The trouble is , if you do have a legitimate reason to see the vet, they make you get all these shots before they will even treat the dog for the reason your there.
My cat recently had an issue that would have cost me a bundle if we had gone to the vet. My friend who is in vet school told me how to get the meds at a hay & feed store for $12.99.
Paste your code here!I have some questions related to the inaugural speech.?
Posted by admin on Feb 27, 2010
1.The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works – whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified…
Care in here means kind of health care ?
2, Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
Energy here means natural resources such as gas and coal, or armed forces?
Yes, "care" refers to health care, and "energy" refers to the gas, coal, etc.
Is your SOAP or SHAMPOO UNSAFE? What are some homemade natural alternatives to potentially harmful products?
Posted by admin on Feb 24, 2010
I looked up some of the ingredients on the back of products that I use daily. I was shocked to find that some of these chemicals are not very safe. While I don’t think there is immediate health risk, prolonged use (say, daily for 40 years) might be another story. What are some safe alternatives for soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, soothing dry lips or skin, etc. Any ideas? What are the statistics on health problems of our ancestors based on those today? Do we have more health problems than our ancestors in some ways? What are the most dangerous chemicals found commonly in everyday toiletries, such as soap, makeup, sunscreen, etc.?
I use Burt’s Bees shampoo. It has natural ingredients. Many shampoos have a bad chemical in them called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate..and you should also watch out for Propylene Glycol and parabens. Don’t use any conditioners with mineral oil.
You can try these natural brands: Burt’s Bees, Avalon Organics, Kiss My Face, Beauty Without Cruelty, Alba (a favorite of mine), John Master’s Organics (another favorite), or Jason.
I order from Vitacost.com, because the prices are cheaper.
Another comment: Conventional shampoos and styling products don’t improve the quality of your hair, they actually artificially make your hair look healthier. For example, Pantene Pro V uses a waxy substance to give hair a smooth feeling.

Posted by admin on Feb 21, 2010
I’m 33 weeks preg. today and I know infections can cause premature labor this late which is why I need help fast! I was diagnosed w/ a yeast infection and prescribed a 3-day suppository. I’ve heard 3 day treatments don’t work during preg. and that what I was prescribed can cause birth defects (although so rarely it’s not considered a risk…not good enough for me). The clinic where I go has proven incompetant many times (I have no other choice, so I really can’t do anything but do most of my own research, which is why I ask a lot of questions here), and I don’t trust them with this. Are vinegar or baking soda baths safe/effective during pregnancy? Does anyone else know of a non-drug treatment which is safe while pregnant? For those who will attack me, I am not going against doctors’ orders and being neglegent…I’m honestly trying to do what’s best for my baby’s health, which is not always what is advised by these docs. Thanks to everyone who offers advice.
Sweetie, listen. when your pregnant your body goes thru so many different changes it crazy but when i was pregnant i did get , a very common in pregnancy, an infection. it was kind of a yeast infection, cause it had all the syptoms but it was and actual "yeast infection" . My obgyn gave me a suppository, just like yours, for 3 days and the infection is gone. I got this infection twice.
My son is 100% health and he’s great. Im pretty sure that a doctor or clinic would give you anything that would harm you baby. Believe me when i say that i know what your going through. You want everything to be perfect with your baby. but im pretty sure that what you have is what i had.
take ur medication and it would go away in 3 days.
Paste your code here!I overate (kind of binged) today . . . What should I do?
Posted by admin on Feb 18, 2010
I kind of overate today.
I hate exercise so I jogged lightly for 15minutes. . .
The problem is at around 3 I overate.
Not on very unheathly food.
I ate lots of rye bread, rye crisp, natural rice cake, baby carrots, half an apple, PB, and LOTS OF COTTAGE CHEESE (3%) Where I live 3% cottage cheese is the lightest they have.
So my question is:
What do I do now? Jog more? Wait? Just sit down?
Is cottage cheese good for our health?
Yea. . . I actually do restrict But that’s only because my parents will make me go to the gym after winter break ends 
I try to eat at least 1300 cal but I think I eat less usually (and is cottage cheese unhealthy or healthy?!)
So what?If you are not feeling bloated or uncomfortable,forget about it.If you are,then take a tablet of Rinetidine-300 or Omiprazole-20 or Pantaprazole-40,depending upon the degree of uneasiness.You will start feeling comfortable after 1/2 an hour and will be perfectly comfortable after one and a half hour.It dose happen once in a while if the food is very tasty or you are in a good company while eating.Nothing to worry about it.These tablets/capsules are freely available as O.T.C.products.
I feel guilty about what I ate today and I feel fat. Please help me!?
Posted by admin on Feb 15, 2010
This is what I have eaten today:
-one smoothie
-a salad
-a bowl of life cereal with light soymilk
-two peices of bread with all natural peanut butter
-like 10 club crackers
-granola
-an apple
-half a veggie burger patty (I stopped eating it because it was nasty)
I feel really over stuffed, disgusting, and fat. I almost made myself puke but I stopped right as I was about to. Should I feel guilty about what I ate today? I am 4′11 and I weigh 96 pounds. I am very uncomfortable with my body weight and I know I am not fat, but I just don’t feel comfortable. If I drink only water and fruit juice for a week how much weight will I lose? Please don’t inform me of the health risks unless you are also going to answer my question. I am very self concious.
You are not fat, your BMI is 19.4, that’s on the lower side of normal range. If you go any lower you will be underweight. When you fast on juice and water, you tend to lose about a pound a day. It sounds like you already eat very healthy, so I don’t think you are going to have a ton of toxins in your body to rid yourself of.
I think a better option for you would be to just slowly add more exercise in your daily routine. Also, remember to drink lots of water, and eat SLOWLY. When you eat too fast the message that you are getting full doesn’t arrive to your brain so you tend to overeat…could be why you were feeling stuffed.
On another note,
We are bombarded with images of anorexic looking models and actresses all the time. Just remember that we are effected psychologically by the messages sent by the media, that may help you get to the root of why you are uncomfortable with how you look.
How do I manage all this mental stress going on with my life with helpless mental health professionals?
Posted by admin on Feb 12, 2010
My mental health case manager is trying to have me mentally hospitalized. Can you help me feel less anxiety?
I told her I’m struggling with a lot in my life. I’m 25 with a college degree, & she told me that if I don’t see her tomorrow, then she’ll have me mentally hospitalized. I’m not a danger, & I want her off my back. She does me more harm than good. My dad is slowly dying. Is that NOT a reason to feel sad & depressed? I’m not suicidal or homicidal.
I’m not court ordered to see a case manager or a psychiatrist, but I have to see her & all she does is tell me hurtful things & mentally abuse me harshly. @ the mental health clinic, all patients have to see a case manager. But I thought I had a right to refuse services from them. @ 1st, she was threatening to close my mental health case, & now she’s threatening to have me mentally hospitalized, talking about she’s concerned about me being depressed & living alone. Now, she has me more angry, sad, nervous, & depressed.
She’s treating me like I’m retarded & don’t know any better. How can I get her out of my life? & all mental health so-called professionals? She’s trying to stop me from pursuing my career as a translator, & she think me trying to pay off my student loan debt should be the least of my worries. I’ve had my degree for 3 yrs., & I’m still struggling to find a job. I’m just in hard times right now, & she’s making it worse. How can I tell her I’d rather see a private psychiatrist, & that I don’t want to go to that clinic anymore?
My dad is REALLY sick. He has pancreatic cancer & could die any day now.
Is it true that since I had my 1st period @ 8 yrs. old, I’ll have early menopause?
This woman told me that I’ll most likely have menopause @ 33. I’m scared because I’m about to turn 26, & I want to get married & have 3 kids. I’m still single. I hope this woman isn’t just scaring me.
I have a PNY attache’ flash drive with 4 GB. I bought it from WalMart maybe a month or 2 ago. It was working fine for a few weeks until last week. I’ve been stressed out & depressed about it ever since, because I have critically important data. I can’t afford to pay $300 out of pocket, & I don’t trust those technicians. I’m afraid they might cheat me &/or take advantage of me, & even though my data is important to me, I don’t want others to see it for privacy reasons. I also want to develop a new skill or ability by trying to do this myself.
The PNY company won’t help me at all. They told me they only replace drives & not repair them or retrieve data. My flash drive won’t read anywhere at all. I did some research, & from my understanding, the PNY drive stopped being recognizable since the library computers they have is Windows XP
, & I heard that the XP operating system is the reason why the drive stopped working. I just need my data. I don’t care about the stupid flash drive. May someone please tell me step-by-step, in detail how to retrieve my data from a non-functioning USB flash drive? Thanks. I appreciate the help because this is stressing me & causing me painc attacks & depression back-to-back because the files are critical, & I can’t afford the high price.
I’m also stressed because I’m experiencing PMDD (women, you know what I mean), & it’s quite natural for me to be depressed & irritable during this phase.
I’m stressed out about cleaning & organizing my house, feeling hopeless about job searching for a full-time position, to pay for a brand new laptop, pass a Spanish translation exam to take online courses, & pay off my student loans & other debts. & the mental health professionals tell me that these should be the least of my worries. No. I don’t care if I’m stressed! I need to move on. They act like I’m supposed to stay in Never Land & never mentally grow up, yet, they tell me I shouldn’t stay in the house. I have a social anxiety. & Mental health professionals make my symptoms worse by telling me dirty, evil things. There’s nothing to do in this town. You know what they say about people who are bored all the time. It’s easy for them to get into trouble, whether with the law or someone else. But I’m not a criminal. I dream to have a work @ home job translating, & I want to move out of this sorry, lifeless town.
All of this + more are affecting me. Sorry for the bold. I don’t know how do change it. I told my case manager & my counselor today that I no longer want to receive mental "harm" from them. They’re hurting my life more than helping. I’m afraid of going into withdrawal mode with my Wellbutrin & Luvox. They weren’t helpful anyway. Even taking the prescribed dosages didn’t improve my symptoms, & the Dr. threatened to put me on Lithium. NO WAY! The meds made me gain weight & get sicker & always have bloating, nausea, more irritability, pain, etc. I have no choice but to quit cold turkey. No more Dr. clinic since they refused to give me a new case manager. So, I left. My case is supposedly closed. I don’t care. I’m a
I just converted to an upgraded computer. What happened was that the USB port was so old so as to not recognize any device I put in the old computer to try to retrieve my data.
The solution was simple when I found a technician that had a USB device that would work with pretty well all Windows systems. (Mine was WindowsME). She downloaded the data and put it on my new computer.
My point is that maybe your USB port is just not being recognized. And hopefully a high quality USB device can retrieve your data.
As for your other issues, I found these references on the web: (See sources.)
