Molasses Health Benefits and Natural Cures
Last Modified on Mar 04, 2014
Thanks to the wonderful feedback we have received over the past 14 years, blackstrap molasses appears to be making headlines as one of the best home remedies around! We have emails from our readers about blackstrap molasses curing cancerous tumors, fibroid tumors, anxiety, constipation, edema, heart palpitations, anemia, arthritic pain, joint pain, and acne, just to name a few. It has also been reported that molasses turns gray hair back to its original color and is a wonderful skin softener!
1 Tablespoon of Blackstrap Molasses, first thing in the morning.
1 TBLS Blackstrap Molasses
Hot Water
3/4 cup Milk or Soymilk
Add molasses to a glass and add just enough hot water to cover the molasses. Stir until dissolved. Add ice and then top off with either Milk or Soymilk. Avoiding milk?'Try vanilla or chocolate soymilk. Even yummier is to blend the whole concoction.
Click here to research books on Molasses.
Regular ole molasses is the first or second boiling of cane sugar syrup while blackstrap is the third boiling of the syrup. Iron levels appear to increase 5% in the 3rd boiling (see Nutritional Chart).

Molasses Tips
[YEA] 04/13/2010: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France: "Molasses and diarrhea: I followed the advice given here a few days ago to take molasses during the day, not on an empty stomach and it worked, my intestines are working fine now! And now I know, if I am constipated I will take it first thing in the morning. A pity I don't drink coffee, molasses seems to taste well in the coffee but I don't like it in the tea."
Replies07/07/2010: Maria from Mt. Laurel, Nj replies: "I drink black strap molasses in hot water with the juice of half a lemon. From my research Vitamin C helps with the absorption of iron. Before I started the bsm I would start my day with a glass of hot water and lemon... Now I just add the tablespoon of blm. I want to try it in warm almond milk next as suggested on this site. I'm drinking bsm for the myriad of heath benefits. Thanks for all the great tips here."
08/27/2010: Tasha from East Coast, Usa replies: "I like my BSM as follows, 2 tablespoons in approx 8 oz of hot(microwaved 3 min)water with either 2 heaping tbsp of vanilla instant coffee or with a tea bag. Im not a lover of coffee but the coffee combo is delicious. You can barely taste it in the hot tea, however."
10/20/2010: Kim from Melbourne, Australia replies: "I believe the tannins in tea stop the absorbtion of iron so you may want to be careful of that. Also I wonder if having the BSM in a very hot drink would reduce or destroy some of the nutrients. Anyone have research on this?"
12/27/2010: Kaio from Sofia, Bulgaria replies: "My concern about molasses is exactly their high content of iron. There are many health issues associated with iron building up in men and menopause women, damaging their organs. That is because for most people, iron overload has no symptoms. Some people with iron overload may experience symptoms. They may feel tired, have a low sex drive, see changes in skin color, and have pain in their joints. People may think these symptoms are caused by another disease, aging, or lack of sleep.The only way to know if you have iron overload is to get tested for it. An iron level that continues to be over 1000 mcg/L (micrograms per liter) means you have iron overload. A simple blood test called a serum ferritin test can tell you your iron level. Too often, people with iron overload don't know they have it until they have serious health problems, such as heart failure, diabetes, or liver disease. Learn more about the impact of iron overload.
I also do not trust the soy product. No nation in far east use this tipe of soy product - they use fermented soy (like natto). Soy milk is devastating to be a part of the babies formulas."
01/06/2011: Maria from Gippsland, Australia replies: "Hi Kaio, After learning how much some sugarcane is aerial sprayed nowadays with pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers my concern is the use of non organic molasses for those with Fibromyalgia or Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Your idea of having a simple blood test is excellent. There have been some Drs who even prescribe iron tablets without doing this test.A few years ago I had a chat with an hematologist regarding the use of Vit C to help with the absorption of iron. Not only to help get enough for those anemic in iron but also for those with levels that are to high and the use of Vit C to help in not absorbing too much. He agreed that Vit C can do both of these, BUT it would be worth getting it checked more often if it is in the high bracket. I have seen firsthand the results of someone who is a hematomacrosis carrier, whose iron levels were at the borderline of needing to be bleed, who had a large serving of Lambs-fry (liver) for their evening meal and also ate some the following morning for breakfast. They took Vit C with each meal and had their blood tested that afternoon. The results were iron in the normal range albeit on the higher end. Also a friend had low iron levels in her pregnancy but would not take iron tablets, she got her test results into the normal range (lower end) by having Vit C or orange juice with her meals."
05/22/2011: Angeldivine from Bedford Hts, Oh replies: "I read about the benefits of blackstrap molasses years ago and have been taking it off and on ever since. More recently, I have been using the organic blackstrap molasses consistently. I have a "molasses coffee, " which is BSM mixed w/ vanilla almond milk and and them warmed; a "molasses milkshake, " which is BSM mixed w/ cold vanilla almond milk and ice cubes or in a blender w/ ice cubes; and any kind of fruit smoothie w/ about a tbls of BSM. Every now and then, I'll make gingerbread using the BSM, ginger, and a little agave nectar for a little extra sweetness. You can look up recipes and tweak them if you're vegan. Overall, the greatest benefit so far is curing the dizziness or lightheadedness I would get as a result of taking an herbal diuretic. Diuretics can deplete the body of potassium and BSM rectifies these symptoms."
08/12/2011: Dianew from Fresno, Ca, United States replies: "I am trying to take BSM but finding it very heavy to consume all at once. This evening I took 1 TBS of it, and blended it with some almond milk and a banana. It helped to make a smoothie out of it but it still felt like "too much". Will I get the same benfits if I take less... perhaps a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon? diane"
09/26/2011: Nolan from New Orleans, La replies: "I started taking Blackstrap Molasses about 4weeks ago. Just started sprinkling a little sugar over the Blackstrap Molasses on the tablespoon and let sink in. This helps a lot."
10/07/2011: Immich from Las Vegas, Nv, Usa replies: "I've taken 1tbsp, once per day, for 3 days and I'm noticing that it's giving me something like heart palpitations just after taking it, I think this is odd because I've seen it mentioned that it prevents this. Not sure that I will stop taking it just yet, I'm very healthy overall and not too alarmed by this... Has anyone else experienced this???"
10/25/2011: G-ma from Cincinnati, Oh 45039, Usa replies: "Plantation unsulphurated BlkStr. I love the flavor, (reminds me of Goodn'Plenty my favorite candy), so I take 1 T. in a.m., for 3 days now, today I was having a slight pounding in the center of my back, I thought it might be my heart too! I am 57, good health, active w/3 new grandbabies??"
11/02/2011: Shelly from Springdale, Arkansas replies: "That strange feeling in your chest (and back) could be acid reflux."
12/01/2011: Lynette from Brisbane, Australia replies: "I HAVE JUST HEARD OF THE POWER OF BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES IN CONJUNCTION WITH APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (WITH MOTHER AS OPPOSED TO ONE DEADENED BY PASTUERISING). I SUFFER FROM ARTHRITIS IN THE KNEES AND HAVE 2 TEASPOONS OF THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH 1 TEASPOON OF BACKSTRAP MOLASSES IN A GLASS OF WARM WATER THAT HAS HAD LEMON JUICE SQUEEZED INTO IT. DO THIS MORNING AND NIGHT. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY SOMEONE WHO NO LONGER SUFFERS FROM GOUT IN HIS FOOT DUE TO THE EFFICIENCY OF THIS CONCOCTION.I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SAME RELIEF."
12/01/2011: Swampash from Colorado Springs, Colorado replies: "I would not use soy milk with BSM as soy is 99% GMO, so chances are you are drinking GMO soy milk. Try it with Almond milk or some other suitable juice/drink. As the report on most apple juices containing high levels of arsenic just came out - give apple juice a miss also."
10/07/2012: Margaret from Asheville, Nc replies: "Mix molasses with some butter or margarine with a fork and put on whole grain toast or on a biscuit. Marvelous! I have eaten this since I was a youngster."
10/23/2012: Claudia from Orange, Ca/usa replies: "Don't try this at home, but... Back in the early '80's I was expecting my 5th and 6th children (twins). In my fourth month my blood work came back with the iron a little low. My ob-gyn gave me a RX for some iron pills. I went home and started a regimen of 4-6 tbl. of unsulphered black strap molasses and didn't fill the RX. The next week the doc said, "Boy, those iron pills really work! " My iron levels were good throughout my pregnancy (had healthy babies) and I kept up the daily dose of molasses."
03/27/2013: Javschloggit from Wise, Virginia replies: "I absolutely love BSM! For all you with a green thumb out there, your plants do too! Look it up. But the way, I usually consume my BSM in a smoothie for breakfast. I use BSM, fruit(usually berries), vanilla extract, milk kefir, and avocado to thicken it."
06/06/2013: Arn from Kenmore, Wa replies: "I'd like to clarify some things about molasses. It is indeed one of the healthiest foods on the planet.Think about it, they harvest a field of sugar cane, remove as much water, fiber, and sugar as possible. What's left? Concentrated organic minerals! If you found such a supplement at the health store it would be very expensive. Yet here it is, dirt cheap and delicious.
Organic minerals have been taken up from the soil by the plants and changed into a form that is easily absorbed and utilized by all living things. The mineral supplements you might find at a drugstore, you may notice, are very heavy. That's because they are made from ground up rock. The minerals are in inorganic form and hard for the body to absorb. Most of it winds up in the toilet.
The iron in drugstore vitamins and processed food is often, literally, iron filings. Nasty and toxic. The organic iron in molasses, on the other hand, will do you no harm. Very good for you."
06/07/2013: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa replies: "Arn: Well said. If I might add, I read an article where studies were being done on known toxic lead laden soil. To prove the power of plant metabolism in even toxic metal contaminated soil, tomato plants were grown to maturity and fruited nice tomatoes which tested at almost undetectable levels of lead.This finding may very well further verify the theory of the energy vibration of plant blood (chlorophyll), what Leonard Harowitz termed Love 528. Not only chlorophyll vibrating at 528 hz, but also the source of life on Earth, the Sun, as well as the very heart of creator God. Again, it appears that the energy vibration of Love 528 may very well catalyze (directly or indirectly) all the miraculous healing powers found in our plant kingdom."
06/07/2013: Trudyg from Waynesboro, Va, Usa replies: "While I agree that blackstrap molasses is very good for you, I do not at all think it is delicious. Yuck."
06/07/2013: Tamara from Fort Collins, Colorado, Usa replies: "Hi Trudyg, while I agree that Blackstrap Molasses can be rough to take by itself or with water, it is delicious with full milk or even half-n-half. For everyone (and I know there's a lot of you out there) that have tried putting BSM in your tea and thought that it was never gonna be something you would WANT to drink, try this. A guy I know calls this "Half-asses" as a play on the combination of half-n-half and molasses. The fat really helps to cut the bitterness and brings out the caramel sweetness, and I'm sure it helps with the absorption of the vitamins and minerals even further. It needs to be warmed up (I use the stovetop) to help dissolve the molasses and then you can drink it, cool it down, add it to smoothies or (my favorite) to make your oatmeal. I make my own version of chai tea using BSM as the sweetner and it really lends itself to spices. You need the creaminess of milk or coconut milk or half-n-half (or even heavy cream! Yum! ) to really appreciate it. It really does turn into a caramely, rich, and flavorful drink."
06/08/2013: Kt from The Usa replies: "I have to add that I too love BSM in some warm milk and/or in my oatmeal. It's great to add to your spaghetti sauce or baked beans too! It's the only way I can get it into my husband... Sneaky, huh?"
07/05/2013: Dm from Mesa, Az replies: "I had trouble with the taste but adding it to coffee seems to work. The bitterness of the coffee leaves just a light slightly sweetened flavor. Your mileage may vary but worth a try."
07/06/2013: Kt from Some, Where, The USA replies: "Hi Dm, I like BSM in warm water or milk... You could add a little Vanilla extract. I sometimes have BSM in my coffee but I think it tastes worse... Just another opinion."

02/16/2011: Caroleco1 from Buffalo, New York, USA replies: "Have suffered from anemia for a number of years. I find that the Blackstrap Molasses help to build the iron. I drink 1 tablespoon in the morning with 1/2 glass of milk. I drink one tablespoon in the evening before bedtime with 1/2 glass of milk. I suffer from AVM of the small intestines, it cannot be treated with surgery. Ever so often I bleed internally so it is important to keep my iron levels up. I cannot eat too many dark leafly vegetables because I am on Warfarin for artificial heart valves. Vitamin K. I prefer the Blackstrap Molasses over a blood transfusion anyday. I am 54 years old and 95 pounds. After 5 kids all grown except one. Does anyone out there have any recipes for smoothies. Thanks!"

Acid Reflux
[YEA] 08/19/2007: Kita from Detroit, Michigan: "I had acid reflux bad for the past two years. Oneday my aunt went to a health food store. Her and a lady got to talking about blackstrap. The lady had tried everything for her acid reflux so the doctor finally told her about blackstrap molasses. My aunt brought some for me and within days the acid reflux started to go down. Now I have been taking it for4 months now. It is just about cured! It is the best thing for acid reflux. I took two teapsoons of it everyday in april and now I take less because it doesnt bother me. One or two teaspoons will help get you through the whole day."
Replies01/05/2010: Ruskat from Nelson, New Zealand replies: "To stop acid reflux, you should drink more water, specifically, a glass half an hour before eating. This treatment is based on the fact that water initiates the production of bicarbonate soda which is an alkaline that makes the contents of your stomach ready for release into the intestines. Without this process the body will try to eject the harmfully acidic fluid back through the asophagus... reflux"
07/18/2012: Normajd10 from San Jose, Ca replies: "Great info. I am newly diagnosed with acid reflux and have been taking prilosec and pepcid for about one month now. My throat still feels like there is food stuck and the doctor to a look and said my opening to my esophogus is swollen of course. It's very uncomfortable. Will any molasses do or does it have to be blackstrap?"
07/19/2012: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Normajd10... If your doctor did not give you any tests to assess whether you have too much or too little stomach acid then he hasn't done his job. It has been found that 80% - 90% of most cases of acid reflux are actually caused by too little stomach acid.Stomach acid, at the correct strength, is the only way that duodenal digestion, which is main stage digestion, can be triggered -- releasing neccessary enzymes and bicarbonates from the pancreas to neutralize the acid -- that occurs after stomach digestion. So if there is too little stomach acid and the acid strength is too low -- duodenal digestion will simply not occur causing reflux and all sorts of other stomach and intestinal problems in the future. Similarly, if your stomach acid is too weak and you are also taking PPIs like prilosec -- this will continue to massively reduce your stomach acid strength -- further aggrevating your reflux and creating more gut problems for you in the future.
To be absolutely sure of confirming your condition, there are two things you can do. You can either ask your doctor to have what is called the Heidelberg pH Test to determine stomach acid strength or you can determine stomach acid strength through blood chemistry, urine analysis and hair analysis.
Another simple test that you can perform yourself to find out if you have low stomach acid is to simply drink a glass of lemon juice with water or drink a glass with two tablespoons of vinegar(or apple cider vinegar) while you eat your meal. Taking lemon juice or vinegar with your meals will increase the acidity in your stomach and help your digestion to work properly. So if your acid reflux stops or reduces when you do this -- then your problem is probably low stomach acidity.
Unfortunately, using vinegar or lemon juice is not the cure for reflux but will only accomodate your problem -- it just treats the symptoms. To affect a cure for low stomach acid do the following:
* Take betaine hydrochloride tablets at mealtimes. To find your correct dose(and correct stomach acid strength) increase your dosage of BH by one tablet every meal until you get an uncomfortable acid feeling. Then cut back by one or two tabs and that is your dose. Further on down the timeline, as your stomach heals and you start producing more stomach acid, you will again get that uncomfortable acid felling. Keep cutting back the dosage like this until your stomach is healed and you no longer have to take the BH. The stomach is now healed because the BH supplies chloride for the stomach to manufacture its own acid.
* Take 1/4-1/2 tspn of sea salt outside mealtimes. This also helps to supply chloride and minerals to increase stomach acid and for the stomach to heal itself.
* Take pancreatin enzymes at mealtimes to help with digestion.
* Take Ted from Bangkok's Sodium Bicarbonate and water remedy -- 1/4 - 1/2 tspn of SB in half a glass of water. Take this 1/2hr - 1 hr after you finish your meal and your food has moved into the duodenim. This helps main stage duodenal digestion and also aids the stomach to protect itself after you have eaten. It neutralizes the stomach acids in the stomach when it is empty and is incorporated in the mucus of the stomach to protect the parietal cells of the stomach from acid damage after stomach digestion.
* Take Kelp extract or lugols drops drops for the iodine. Iodine is also necessary for proper stomach acid formation."
07/19/2012: Lisa from Manchester, Nh, Usa replies: "How about using black licorice capsules along with aloe capsules or drink? Also a good full spectrum probiotic and digestive enzymes. No more acid reflux."
07/23/2013: Mary from Regina, Saskchewan replies: "This question is for Bill: I have read to take baking soda before eating by one hour and now I am reading your post which says it is better to take it after. Which one is best for digestion? Thanks"
07/23/2013: Prioris from Fort Pierce, Fl, Usa replies: "I been using 1.2 tsp of baking soda in water for the last 15 years. It essentially cured my acid reflux so I rarely need it now. There was one time I needed to take a table spoon of baking soda to quell it. You take as much as is needed to put out the fire. You do it after a meal.If you already have acid reflux before a meal, i'd stop eating until it is brought under control.
If you have intestinal infections, Aloe Muciliginous Polysaccharide can handle it."
[YEA] 02/15/2009: JEM from Fort Worth, TX: "I kept getting breakouts on my chin and around my mouth. I somehow stumbled onto blackstrap molasses. I take two tablespoons a day (in Stash's double spice chai tea- really good) and it really seems to help. No new breakouts. Just the fading red marks from the old ones. I pretty certain it's the molasses because I stopped taking it for about a month while I was on vacation and the acne came back within a week.
I also did some research- blackstrap contains copper which helps skin repair itself and a bit of zinc which when taken consistently has the effect of an antibiotic/anti-acne prescription. Just make sure you get the right ratio of zinc and copper- they block the absorption of each other and can cause an imbalance."
07/29/2012: Jude from Somerville, Ma replies: "I have also found that an aspirin or cup of willow tea will eliminate acne."
[YEA] 07/24/2006: Nathan from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: "Supplementing my diet with molasses has decreased my acne about 97% in two weeks. I take two tablespoons when I wake up in the morning, and two before I go to bed at night. It eases digestive problems, so if your acne is related to constipation, it's a sure-fire bet. It also supplements you with minerals such as Chromium, which about 90% of Americans are deficient in."
Replies07/31/2008: Nathan from Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City replies: "Update: Since experimenting with other possibilities, I find that Aloe Vera works well at night, and Blackstrap Molasses in the morning. Raw Aloe works best. One or two tablespoons should be all you need. A perfect cure!"

02/02/2010: Chris from Brookhaven, Pa Usa replies: "Responding to Nga asking if one should take aloe from the garden. The gel that comes from the plant is okay to put on the skin for burns or skin problems, but do not eat the gel or any part of the plant! You can buy aloe juice in a health food store for digestive problems or reflux, but this juice has been specially treated to remove harmful chemicals found in the plant so it is safe"

Wasn't sure if it was or could even be the molasses but that was the only new thing I added to my diet. So I stopped for a couple of days and no breakouts. Had two teaspoons yesterday and today another breakout. I'm 51 and should have acne. So should I just keep with it? And how long should it take before the acne stops?"

I don't think I've had even one random pimple in over 20 years.About two or three days into taking BSM, I woke to find a small whitehead on my cheek. I thought 'What the... ?? A ZIT??' Then it hit me - molasses. :)
That was close to a year ago. I've never had one since."

07/23/2012: Tamara from Fort Collins, Colorado replies: "Hi Planky. I, too, got hives from taking molasses everyday. It took me a week to figure it out, but I realized that I had bought a different brand than I usually take. It was organic and unsulphured, but I definitely reacted to it! I took a few weeks off but really the only thing that worked to get rid of the hives faster was eating good ole' apples! I had been listening to Robert Von Sarbacher (of Mini Beet Protocol fame), and he talks a lot about the detoxing power of apples. I had at least 3 apples a day for a week and the hives went away. Without them, I believe it would've taken longer. So switch up the brand, try some apples and good luck!"
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 02/03/2013: Moogs from La, Usa replies: "I tried BSM for the first time last week. Had a terrible experience, thought it tasted awful anyway I tried it; coffee, milk, oatmeal, made it into a fudge with cocoa powder, coconut oil, coconut macca, cinnamon, and agave. Although the fudge was actually decent tasting. Anways, my face completely broke out and my eczema was out of control all last week. Suddenly today, one full week after starting on one tblspn per day, my skin is clear and no more itching. So I'm glad I've stuck with it. I am now forcing myself to drink it straight from the spoon with some warm water right after to take away the taste. I'm slowly getting used to the taste but can't imagine I'll ever like it."

I was really scared as I had a high health insurance deductible and the thought of expensive tests was out of the question. This site has helped me so much and I thought I would share with you my strategy gleaned from other readers's comments. I rarely ate red meat and with the alarming bleeding lately, and the cyst; I must have been anemic on top of the cyst or fibroids.I started Saturday with 2 TBSP Plantation Blackstrap Molasses three times that first day. Mixed with chocolate low fat milk. Then 2 tsp Apple Cider Vineger diluted in water with a small addition of fruit juice to flavor three times day. The second day, reduced to 2 tsp of BSM twice a day and same dose of ACV twice a day. Third day, 1 robust TBSP BSM and 2 tsp ACV each twice a day morning and night. At first, the bleeding changed in content. A darker red and not lightening up. I was scared but kept on. Taking an Advil helped to lighten it for a few hours. I kept up and onward believing in the other ladies who had gotten results. On the fourth day, a slight reduction in bleeding. On this the fifth day, less yet again. I will keep you posted.

You can eat as much as you want without haveing to worry about sugar.As for the baby, it is fine to use soymilk as long as you are using plain soymilk. With all the gmo. and additives we are getting way far from the natural soy. I make my own or buy it in a box that reads unsweetend organic soymilk. the ingredients are soybeans and water.

05/05/2010: Michelle from Spokane, Wa replies: "Rob, you're correct that soy is consumed in large quantities in many eastern cultures and they tend to be healthier. The key point you're missing, however, is that eastern cultures eat *fermented* soy products, e.g. tofu and tempeh. They do not eat unfermented soy products.The fermentation process renders the estrogen-mimicking and the thyroid-threatening compounds in soy safe, makes the nutrients more bio-available, and turns soy into a healthy, protective food. Read the studies themselves and see specifically *what* the subjects are eating. Not all soy-based products are created equal. Plain old soy milk, organic or otherwise, is still unfermented and should not be fed, well, to anyone. Same with soy yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. It has to be fermented to be safe. Many, many people don't understand this important distinction, which Dkay did point out.
Anecdotally, I once tried substituting soy milk on my morning cereal. Within 3 days I was experiencing breakthrough bleeding (a female hormone issue), something I'd never had an issue with my whole life. After stopping the soy milk, everything was back to normal in a couple days. My curiosity about this event prompted my research. Google "fermented soy" to start your own research."

05/07/2010: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Rob from Manhattan,Okay, that looks delicious! It's making me so hungry! And I love good kale salads. I may have to make this for lunch.
Glad to see you switching from the soy products. I eat natto almost everyday and have been for a month now after reading about it. One of the ways I dress my natto is to add a bit of soy sauce- the wheat free one, a bit of brown rice vinegar, a dab of wasabe powder and stir it up. So yummy! Years ago I tried natto and absolutely hated it. Now I look forward to it.
Also, have added in miso, another excellent source of fermented soy which keeps the body ecosystem healthy. Sometimes what I do is put a dab of it in my salad at lunch and toss it. It gives it a delicious flavor and goes really well with the sea veggies I toss in the salad. Have you tried tempeh? That's another fermented soy product and can be seasoned in different ways. It is the fermentation process that helps make the soy a useful food for our bodies. Fermented foods and drinks are extremely helpful to our bodies because they keep our gut replenished with all the good bacteria which keeps us healthy. Just be careful that you don't have a candida condition or it can cause problems. It is best to start by clearing out the candida before introducing fermented foods and drinks to then re-flourish your body with the good bacteria.
The best to everyone, Lisa"

When the vegetarian/vegan diet exploded, manufacturers in their greediness, skipped the fermentation process to make money more quickly. ONLY fermented soy products are safe, e.g. , natto, tempeh, miso, etc. I still feel so badly for the victims, all very nice, good people who got sandbagged by the industry. What a waste! Take heed."

Replies05/23/2012: Tara from San Antonio, Texas replies: "Hi! In response to the ladies who have painful, heavy, and long periods you should also consider the possibility of having endometriosis. Most women have it and do not know it. The symptoms are heavy periods, pelvic pain, irregular periods, pain during intercourse, etc.Endometriosis is where the endometrial tissue (the stuff that sheds and bleeds during your period) grows outside of your uterus. This means that you have internal bleeding in your pelvic cavity and possibly other organs every month during your period. Your body does not absorb this type of blood and tissue (that's why we flush it out monthly) and so your body forms scar tissue and lesions to cover up and contain the blood. This can end up in your organs getting fused together through the scar tissue formation. The way I found out I had it is that my right ovary was fused to my pelvic wall, and I had a cyst rupture (very painful!! ). The ER doctor thought it might be endometriosis and sent me to a specialist. A week later I had the surgery and they confirmed that I had it. They go in laparoscopically and laser all the scar tissue off of the organs and drain the blood from the pelvic cavity. Men can also have endometriosis especially in their eyes.
I was diagnosed with it several years ago and went through two surgeries and lots of heavy birth control to regulate the pain. After the surgeries I felt so much better- I had no idea I was in so much pain all the time. My doctor told me the only way to diagnose endometriosis is through surgery and other informational sites agree. On that note I suggest avoiding surgery and especially the heavy hormone treatments they put you on (before I tried looking for natural remedies they put me into medical menopause for a year at the age of 21! ).
The reason I bring this up is because someone mentioned that their period had less pain after removing gluten from their diet. Gluten is known to be a cause of pain for women who have endometriosis. If you have very painful periods try removing gluten from your diet and see if this fixes your pain problems. If it does you might have endometriosis and there are other natural remedies through diet change that can really help diminish your pain, heavy/irregular periods, and need for surgery.
My doctor said that typically seven out of ten women have endometriosis. I don't know if those statistics are true or not, but I hope that we can increase awareness so women will not have to live with the pain thinking its normal like I did!
There are several books on natural remedies and diet for endometriosis. I recommend trying the diet (it's healthy for you anyways- olive oil, lemon, etc. ) and not taking the treatments. You should also know that black cohosh and other female regulatory herbs increase the growth of endometriosis."
08/24/2012: Amber from Tyrone, Pa, Us replies: "Tara, is there one book in paticular you can recommend for endometriosis?"
[YEA] 03/16/2009: Erin from Haiku, HI: "Blackstrap Molasses CURED my anemia. Pain is better with menstrual cycles/fibroids. Heart palpitations stopped altogether. Decreased excessive blood loss during cycle within 24 hours. I use 3 Tbs daily in a smoothie, without fail. 1 week before cycle I start taking 4 Tbs daily in smoothie and continue until cycle stops. I have more energy and focus.
My smoothie:
banana, frozen blueberries (anti-oxidant), 3-4 Tbs organic Blackstrap Molasses, spirulina, green edge powder, 1 Tbs Udo's efa oil, ground Tbs goji berries/ Tbs raw cacao, 3 Tbs Maca powder, sometimes an apricot or peach.
Tasty, BSM makes it deliciously sweet, can't taste the spirulina although the drink IS green!. It is very fulfilling and energizing.
If you have candida or parasites it may make you bloat. If this happens you can take 3 clove caps, 3 wormwood caps and 10 drops of black walnut- it will kill them and you can continue enjoying your morning drink.

[WARNING!] 10/30/2008: Susan from Catskills, New York, USA: "PLEASE, PLEASE use caution when increasing iron intake from any source (particularly something like molasses that has been SO over processed -- it astounds me that people will turn their nose up at sugar as being a "processed" food, but ladle on tons of molasses, which is the sludge material left over from processing sugar, and is then further processed). Do I eschew molasses? No, it adds a nice touch of flavor to sweet treats and other foods.
Iron is good for the body, but can also lead to serious toxic problems. My mother had always taken iron supplements (she was once tested as low iron even with supplements -- I am the same). Then, she developed cancer and her iron levels became very, very low. The cancer was happily feeding on all the iron she was putting into her system. While one doctor just advised upping her iron more and more to keep iron levels up, a later doctor indicated that the excessive iron contributed to the rapid spread and return of her cancer. Before I knew the dangers of iron overload, I would eat the same iron-rich foods as I made for her, and even popped an iron supplement or two. Bad move. I damaged my heart.
So, please, before engaging in any iron supplement regimen, get another doctor's opinion about YOUR specific needs. And please, don't treat yourself for an iron deficiency without medical advice. Remember, iron is a heavy metal, and many people -- such as I -- have had to have chelation therapy to detox.
May I suggest maple syrup as a alternative choice for iron and nutrients?
I have excerpted the following from two cancer information website.
"Iron encourages the formation of cancer-causing free radicals. Of course, the body needs a certain amount of iron for healthy blood cells. But beyond this rather small amount, iron becomes a dangerous substance, acting as a catalyst for the formation of free radicals. Because of this, research studies have shown that higher amounts of iron in the blood mean higher cancer risk.,
Once iron is absorbed by the digestive tract, the body stores it. Most of us accumulate much more iron than we need. In spite of the advertising from iron supplement manufacturers, "iron overload" is much more common in America than iron deficiency. The reason is the daily diet of red meats, which contributes much more iron than most people can safely handle over the long run. A diet of grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, and natural sugars such as maple, provides adequate iron, without the risk of overload."
"Iron acts as a cancer-promoting agent by two separate yet synergistic mechanisms: 1) by producing "free radicals," and 2) by feeding cancer cells. Iron increases the production of free radicals, and-in fact-the production of free radicals is largely proportionate to the level of iron.4 This means that the more iron there is in the body, the more free radicals will be produced and thus the greater the risk of disease, in this case, cancer. Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules which damage (oxidize) the DNA of cells. Since DNA controls the activities of the cell, once the DNA is damaged, the cell becomes "out of control." Essentially, all cancer cells are out of control. These cancer cells then replicate and grow rapidly and eventually infiltrate and damage the body's organs.
Additionally, cancer cells consume many nutrients and thereby starve the host. One of the nutrients cancer cells need most is iron. In fact, researchers now think that iron may be a "rate-limiting" nutrient for cancer cell growth.5 This means that the more iron that is available, the more the cancer cells will divide and flourish, and the better chance they have of killing the host. Recent research has shown that people with high levels of iron have an increased risk for cancer.""
10/31/2008: Satina from Waldport, Oregon replies: "Regarding any warnings here, I think it's important to remember that iron occuring in natural foods like molasses is balanced by all kinds of other minerals and trace minerals and so has a different effect on the body than a synthesized, inferior source of isolated iron in a pill. All of the minerals work synergistically in the body, buffering and enhancing one another. In natural foods, you find them all together for a reason. We need them all, in order for any one of them to do their best for us. In addition, trace minerals in molasses such as, specifically, chromium, are essential to our body's metabolism of sugar, so consuming molasses is going to have nowhere near the negative effects on your body as consuming sugar *without* the trace minerals that are absolutely essential for its use by the body (as is the case in white, refined sugar). Also, when one has a complaint about 'processed foods', it is because what is good for us, the nutrients, have been stripped away from the so-called 'refined' food left behind. In this case, molasses IS what has been stripped away (leaving the worthless refined white sugar behind), so molasses is of the highest nutrient-density. As a student in an M.S. program of study in Holistic Nutrition, I believe natural sources of minerals like molasses are *infinitely* superior to any synthesized supplements and should be encouraged, never discouraged. Oh, and I like to put a tablespoon or two of blackstrap molasses in heated milk (or nut milk) as a mineral-rich, medicinal alternative to hot chocolate. :-)"
11/12/2008: Ana Mua from Tamuning, GU replies: "There are alternatives to black strap molasses, in my opinion better ones. Look for a whole-food iron supplement, that is one wherein all the iron is still in plant form. There is little danger with these of iron toxicity. The formulas are made to help your body absorb the iron that's in them. (well the one I'm thinking of is, but I'm not to name names)"

Help, please."

I was still low, but it had increased to 34 instead of 21 which was a norm for me. The Doctor told me to keep doing what I am doing. I do have more energy while take BSM but I do notice that if I skip the weekend doses I begin to feel drained by Monday."

text: The Cost of Thanksgiving Dinner 2009 Text Size Published: Friday, 13 Nov 2009 | 3:05 PM ET By: Christina Cheddar Berk Photo: Swell Media | UpperCut Images | Getty Images Put this on your list of things to be thankful for this year: the average cost of this year's turkey dinner and all the fixings will take a smaller bite out of your wallet. The cost of a Thanksgiving dinner has declined 4 percent from last year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual study. The AFBF has been conducting the informal price survey for 24 years, and estimates households can put a turkey dinner and all the fixings on the table this year for 10 guests for $42.91, or 2009 Cost: $18.65The centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal, the turkey, has declined in price this year. The AFBF estimates the cost of a 16-pound turkey at $18.65, or roughly $1.16 per pound. That's a 3-cent decline per pound, or 44 cents a turkey, from last year. 2009 Cost: $2.69Milk, at $2.86 a gallon was the biggest contributor to the lower cost of this year's meal. The price fell 92 cents from a year ago. But the cost of other items fell as well. A half pint of cream will cost $1.55 this year, compared with $1.70 a year ago. The average cost of miscellaneous ingredients such as onions, eggs, sugar, flour, butter and coffee fell 19 cents to $2.50 from $2.69 a year ago. 2009 Cost: $2.65Some items will put a slightly bigger dent in your wallet. A 14-ounce package of cubed bread stuffing will cost $2.65 this year, compared with $2.57 a year ago. 2009 Cost: $3.12There was no change in the average cost of sweet potatoes.

Only Natural Pet Free Range Low Odor Bully Sticks; a tough chew that's easy on the nose.
Only Natural Pet Free Range Low Odor Bully Sticks are made with a natural drying & cooking process that allows them to maintain their nutrients & texture without keeping the smell. Starting with free range, grass-fed Brazilian cattle raised without the use of growth hormones, antibiotics, or any other unnatural additives commonly used with feed lot cattle, these chews undergo the unique cooking & drying process that results is a tough, completely natural chew that's low in fat, high in protein, completely digestible, and a perfect accompaniment for any healthy diet. Plus, unlike rawhides, these bully sticks have their smell removed only with harmless heat and are not treated with any bleach or other harmful chemicals.
Just like their regular cousins, Only Natural Pet Free Range Low Odor Bully Sticks maintain a tough texture for a satisfying, long lasting chew. Their shape makes an excellent way to reduce excess tartar & plaque build up on your dog's teeth and support healthy gums. They're long lasting, giving your dog a healthy outlet for that desire to chew, but with the low odor, you won't even notice how long they last.
Only Natural Pet Free Range Low Odor Bully Sticks
Only Natural Pet Free Range Low Odor Bully Sticks are the tough for your dog's chewing, but easy on your nose.
Available in 6", 12" & 9" lengths as singles & multipacks.

Awesome Bully Sticks
By Pat the cyclist
from Oregon
As a chewy, my dog loves them.
Her favorite so far!
By Justlikethemonth
from Ruckersville, VA
Q's grandfather sent this as a gift to see how Q would do with a bully stick. When we first opened the package our dog, Q, was intrigued. She didn't quite know what to do but quickly figured it out. After a few minutes she had worn through the toughness and the stick had softened. I picked up the stick and smelled it and the floor area she has been chewing and to our surprise there was no real odor. The best part for Q is it is a totally natural treat that seems to satisfy her gnawing instincts better than other treats we have giver her. Since I give it to her occasionally it lasts quite a while and use it more as a special treat. She typically chews bones but I think she likes how quickly she makes progress on the stick and since she enjoys destroying things I think this satisfies that need without ending up with synthetic fluff lying around. As we are transitioning Q to more natural treats and toys we see she is responding to the textures and flavors very well. And knowing that it is a natural product makes me feel good about giving her the bully stick. She and I both look forward to her treat time. Thanks Only Natural Pet Store for providing us safe and healthy treat options!

Odor free bully sticks
By vetteguy
from Spring Prairie WI
We had been purchasing the Merrick bully sticks in bulk. When that option became unavailable, we switched to the odor free ones. They do not appear like the ones in the pictures on the website, as they are quite small in diameter. We have a 2 1/2 year old black Labrador who can finish one off in 5-7 minutes. The other ones lasted 20 or so.
Bully sticks
By The Weim owner
from Ohio
Disapointed in the diameter of the stick for the $3.50 plus per stick. Basically rawhide !
Perfect to keep my doxies busy
By Dog lover
from Endicott, NY
These bully sticks keep my doxies busy and happy. I am glad that they are from safe sources and much better for them than rawhide. The 'low odor' sticks are by far more appealing (to humans) than the bully twists... which have a really undesirable smell.
Stinky sticks!
By singer
from Magnolia, TX
Even though they are supposedly "low odor", I kept wondering what that awful smell was -found it was the Bully sticks. My dogs really do like them, and keep hiding them from each other.
Black labs love bully sticks
from Spring Prairie Wisconsin
We had been buying another brand of bully sticks for our dog, a 2 1/2 year old black lab. They were individually wrapped and kind of smelled. the new ones are shipped in a large bag and have, as the title claims no odor. The dog loves them and we usually give her one every couple of days in the evening.
Still pretty strong odor from 10ft away
By kha
from minneapolis mn
my other bully stick low and NO odor bully sticks were on back order, I tried this company, the low odor are much stronger odor than my other company. going back and waiting!
12" only natural pet bullysticks
By terri
from baltimore, md
Way too expensive for such a skimpy bullystick. Gone way too fast. Odor no problem, price big problem. Definitely not worth the money for a larger dog.

There is a god in TV heaven, you guys. Word got out yesterday that "Community" returns to the airwaves in a few weeks, on March 15, in it's usual time slot of 8 p.m. Thursdays. Now that we've made it out of the darkest timeline alive, I was finally able to watch the holiday episode that aired in December on Hulu. I needed to know it was coming back before I could potentially close the chapter of the first half of season three.
Anyhoo, in celebration of this wonderful news, I thought you might enjoy a collection of Troy and Abed's end credits scenes, or more appropriately, stingers. It's quite honestly my favorite part of the show.

We will soon be adding a second ipad to our Apple account but have ran into a confusing situation. We need help!
I registered my wife's ipod over a year ago and then registered her ipad about one year ago. I've finally folded and purchased an ipad 1st gen. for myself and will be registering it soon.
1. Is there a place in the Apple site which shows all devices registered to a specific id or email address?
2. Should I open a separate id and account or can we designate different devices for downloading different apps in the same account? I know with Amazon, our one account listed her Kindle as Vali's Kindle, my Kindle under Cliff's Kindle, and my Kindle Fire under Cliff's Fire, and we designate where an app or book was downloaded. Is there a similar setup with Apple?
Thanks so much.

#63 in Mid-Cap Value
U.S. News evaluated 109 Mid-Cap Value Funds. Our list highlights the top-rated funds for long-term investors based on the ratings of leading fund industry researchers.
The fund has returned 24.22 percent over the past year, 10.24 percent over the past three years, 22.58 percent over the past five years, and 9.27 percent over the past decade.
Trailing Returns | Updated 02.28.2014 |

Heartland Select Value's name can be misleading.
As of March 05, 2014, the fund has assets totaling almost $684.90 million invested in 56 different holdings. Its portfolio consists of shares of companies that span the market-cap spectrum.
Don't let the name fool you. Unlike many funds with "select" in their title, this one doesn't sport a compact, high-octane portfolio. Rather, it features a steady, fairly diversified approach that has, over the long haul, led to respectable results. As of the end of 2010, management owned shares of more than 50 companies. No single holding accounted for more than 3 percent of the fund's assets. And while it is technically a mid-cap fund, it holds shares of companies with a variety of market caps. Lately, the fund has been struggling to find its footing. In 2010, it finished the year in the bottom 15 percent of its Morningstar category. Meanwhile, this year investors have seen tepid returns. The fund has returned 24.22 percent over the past year and 10.24 percent over the past three years.
Historically, this fund has done a solid job of singling out undervalued companies. Since 2001, the fund has only finished three years in the top fifth of its Morningstar category. Nonetheless, its level-headed approach has paid off, and as of the end of the first quarter, its trailing 10-year returns beat those of the broader market as well as the average for its Morningstar peer group. The fund has returned 22.58 percent over the past five years and 9.27 percent over the past decade.
Investment Strategy
According to the fund's prospectus: "The Select Value Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital appreciation from a diversified, actively managed portfolio of stocks of all sizes. It is constructed as a core value holding for investors who can accept the volatility and other investment risks of the broad-based equity markets, but want to manage these risks by investing in companies believed to be undervalued relative to their intrinsic value."
Role in Portfolio
Morningstar calls the fund a "supporting player."
A team of four managers runs the fund.
Heartland Select Value Fund Class Institutional has an expense ratio of 1.20 percent.
