One of the corners I'm watching is my calcium to magnesium ratio. I'm drinking calcium Bentonite nightly, and it can be a little heavy on the calcium/water absorbtion side. It's a little hard to manage quite so much good and green, and I'm using magnesium citrate on the side to help balance out the bloodsugar-raising effects of niacin, a good anti-fungal. It's pretty much the brain that's been hit like a hammer every year since getting the massive dental work I've had, and stress brings me straight into insomniawith a bit of bad speed.

Honestly, magnesium was a godsend in 2011, and I'm rather bent on having it on my shelf- even if it is not needed so often.

Thank you for the good nudge to focus on diet- My rhythm is to stick to protiens, fruits and lots of greens right now. I'm still working out a pattern of how to work the detoxing and protective supplements- fx, zinc, Iodine in kelp, magnesium. Without those, digestion goes pretty much downhill, and those are some of the most important elements in protien synthesis- aka, normal healing processes in the body. When most of the minerals from food are shunted to glutathione production, it's no small wonder that anemia and insomnia come gnawing at me so easily!

So.. my preparation is in part detox, and in part prevention. I want to go into schooling again this coming year, I need a head on mah shoulders! :o

Ouhf.. I know. Easily stressed, too often in the fast lane in the head.. I'll look at lowering the supplements a bit and re-balancing in favor of whole foods.

Oh, yeah, on the list is boron and milk thistle, you can look those up if you like. I'm aiming for the liver detox route, with Bentonite soaks when I can manage them. :)

So what sort of test strips are those you use to test PH? Stuff you buy for aquariums, stuff for xyz..? I've got no idea where to find stuff like that. ^^; I kinda have to know where those things are sold to buy them.

Mmmhh.. Yawn- I've been working on a painting all evening. Almost done, demmit! Christmas gift commission.

Thank you for your reply, Pamela. :) TBH I have no idea how it'll go with my teeth, but I know that struggling with my health like this isn't something my creator means for me to live with forever. :D

I'm about a month now into focusing on a no-bread, no-sugar diet, and using what alkilizing supplements I could find for combating the Amalgam effects. I can taste the metal of my fillings so well, it's annoying.

What about you, had some progress with de-glassifying-le teethies?

Thanks for the invitation about the gallery of beautiful womens pictures. :) I couldn't honestly tell you exactly how beautiful or outside of the beautiful category I am. I consider one of the most crippled women I know to be beautiful, because of being selfless and setting her focus on sharing her life experience and wisdom with the younger women in our little group. 'Course, a lot of my focus intellectually is on avoiding a concentration on the physical body, and more about the health of the mind and spirit. :9
