You are really giving your friends a priceless gift by inviting them to this group. Members here are so thoughtful and caring, doing their best to share knowledge about natural healing alternatives.

I get messages from my own friends list asking me why I havn't invited them to this group because they have heard about it through the Care2 grapevine. I have to explain to them that most times my powers of invite are not working. Care2 hasn't tried to fix that after over a year of imploring to them.

So anyone who joins this group has to find it on their own or be invited by the goods graces of their friends who are already members here.

So many people are suffering and don't realize NATURE PROVIDES, many times the simplest of remedies for them. I hate unnecessary suffering don't you? It's so..so....unnecessary!

Good Morning everyone and thanks for directing me to the thread about Hep-C I could not find that thread no matter how I tried.  Also, is there a thread about building immunity.  It is coming into the cold season and I experience something close to terror, I get Pneumonia each winter and or Brohchitis that lasts for weeks.  Once again thanks for all the information this is such a great group with knowledgeable people.

 [ send green star]

all and thanks for checking in.

Jean - if we don't have one, we should definitely start a thread in building your immune system.

Believe me, I sympathize, we all have a difficult time finding certain  threads and topics here as there are so many, . Our Hosts have tried in vain to get Care2 to give some more colored pins to groups for various uses and categories but they ignore the need for some reason.

We have taken the request to Care2 Feedback & Suggestions numerous times and get shouted down by people who think pins are not necessary and that even red and blue pins should be taken away! Go figure why some people are threatened by pins!

It sure would make life easier on this group as far as management and use but meanwhile we suffer......

 [ send green star]

to Neo Phyte for the invite!

I've been into herbs for quite awhile, and have found them to be better than Rx meds in some cases--when you've got as many conditions as I have, you've got to be careful with interactions and side effects!

For instance, I add kombucha to my green tea--it makes the tea taste better, and keeps my energy up. Ask anyone with MS about fatigue!

This looks like a great group! I see a lot of my friends here, and I hope to make new ones!

Good day, from the other side of the world, I am from Melbourne Australia. I am into natural food and medication. All my dogs are fed a natural and fresh food. Needless to say that hipdysplaisa and other illnesses stay away!Not to mention their strong immune system! If you like help with a natural dog food, you may call on me, I would be more then happy to teach you how it is done. I have 14 years  experience. I will unravel the worst things about commercial dog foods to you, you won't want to feed it to your dog any more, dry or canned or sausage. We are poisoning our dogs with it, as it is at best of "take away food" quality, but nothing to do with fresh and wholesome! No wonder so many dogs die of unnatural causes, cancers, etc

But thanks for inviting me, so glad to be here, as this looks like a very interesting and knowledgeable group.

Aanii, Hello,

Miigwetch, for the invite.  I do believe strongly in natural medications.  If we keep putting drugs into our systems we don't allow our body a chance to build a natural ammunity.  I will enjoy checking out and learning new things to help with lives ailments.

I only know of a couple of natural remedies, that have worked for years for me.  I am learning new things since I found my Native conection and anything I can pass on I will.

You are welcome Donna, it was my pleasure to bring them here, you and all of the host make it such a nice place to be. Hi Fil! Hi Elena, nice to see you!

I have some info on organic products, (some of which I use!) that just came into my inbox and I tell you all I am angry about what I am reading. Its so LONG I worry about where to post it, like, should it go into consumer alerts or what??  I worry about how hard the page might be to load for some users, the vaccination page thats SO important (like all of the other pages here) , is becoming a little hard to load even with high speed net!

I will post what I have from my mail, if it hasnt already been posted, if its in the wrong place I apologise in advance to the host! If its wrongly posted please fix it for me, okay?

Love ya'll!

Thank you, Eric, for the invitation. Small story about me: I had a heart attack about a year and a half ago. Had stents put in for the coronary artery that was clogged (one of two) and then put on massive drugs to be taken forever. I have been fighting the drug thing, so was I looking for alternatives. One I "had to take" was a statin combo (to lower cholesterol) from which I suffered endless and severe side effects. On the net I discovered an alternative: red yeast rice. I now take this along with policosinol with great success and no side effects. This does not work for everyone and anyone who tries this should do it with an MD's knowledge and supervision. Also, I have altered my diet to almost no meat (only occ. ground turkey), increased fruit and vegetables and almost zero saturated fat, so, the red yeast rice had diet support. I am still on some other drugs and will be until I lose about 40 to 50 pounds. But, I am definitely a believer! My best to all and be "seeing" you.

Hello all!

 [ send green star]

Make U R own kelp caps from certified organic kelp for a rare nutrient: iodine. You don't easily get enough.

Stop drinking coffee and start using ginseng extract or caps of ginseng root powder. I drank coffee every morning, got headaches about every 10 days and sleep disturbance occasionally. Once I tried red ginseng powder caps and coffee together and it was like too much! I found I could quit the coffee and headaches, sleep soundly and get that extra zip and go from ginseng.

Nature knows best
