Hi, friends. I thought I'd share about my experiences breastfeeding. My partner knew my passion about the subject, and I was to deliver at a hospital that supported breastfeeding as well, so I didn't think there would be a problem. First of all, we had a birth that wasn't quite what I had planned. I...

Hee hee - it's Vietnamese.

I've got some photos of me and my family at <url removed>

Thanks!!!

I was trying to think about how to modify the diet for someone (like my father) who has heart disease and blocked arteries, if they were not willing to do the sample diet 100%. Wai suggests high-fat munch food for acne sufferers, but that's because protein is mainly the issue (and my dad has never h...

So how does the female aversion to too much penetration benefit the species, biologically? Does it prevent over-population? Can't men be in a perfectly 'natural' exclusive heterosexual relationship by substituting masturbation, oral sex, and other creative things for some of the penetration? Or do y...

Yay! I'm back! I'm at four months (no more nausea!) and back to feeling crappy on cooked foods, and not so on raw. And back to "craving" mostly raw foods. I don't like to call it that anymore, because it's a different feeling than cravings for addictive food. It's a "hunger" for something healthy an...

Also another question, were you at any point (and for how long) on the strict 100% wai diet before getting pregnant? This could very well be a factor, since I was only 100% for a couple of weeks before conception (I think). I started adding munch foods back in after a month or so. I've been trying ...

Well, I don't know where else to post an update. This is for myself mostly, anyway. I mentioned that I'd gone off the diet because of nausea, cravings/aversions, and the struggle to consume enough calories at work. Well, now I think it's more than that. I started this diet because it made the most s...

Avalon, Sorry, I tried to post mine as an experience. Not as a general rule. Truly, you're not supposed to be doing any strenuous excersing. The whole point is to flush your body and give it a rest. The literature suggested I could still do light exercise, which didn't work for me. I could barely wa...

I tried the Master Cleanse for 13 days. I don't agree that all people should go past 10, or even 7 days. I think I was too sensitive and prone to deficiencies. I did feel progressively better for a week, but then I felt worse. I could not exercise, and my body ate my muscles away. It did make me fee...

I've found I have to eat melon by itself before or without fat. But other fruits mixed with oil, or even eaten after an avocado, don't give me stomach problems. We all have different sensitivities! Huntress, does eating small amounts of fruit after fat give you stomach problems? I find it helps when...

High GI foods = higher levels of insulin growth factor, which makes children grow taller. Though I'll have to look into the biology behind it, this makes sense to me, as babies born to diabetic mothers, or mothers who had blood sugar problems during pregnancy, are much larger than normal. My mom sa...

Hark! Who is that, skulking across the icy wasteland! It is Dadasarah, hands clutching an oversized scalpel! And with a cruel cry, her voice cometh:

"This one's for you, mom! I shall discombobulate the entire world!!!"


Mommy!

Ahhhh, no Avalon, don't tempt me!!! I've been so bad this week! Right now, fortunately, all I'm craving is grapefruit and watermelon. Mmmmmm...
