Partners in Prevention is the educational component for Beit T'Shuvah, a residential treatment center in Los Angeles that provides emotional and spiritual healing to people with addictive and behavioral disorders by integrating Torah with the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Through AJE, the program works together with synagogues, day schools and youth groups to bring the message of Beit T'Shuvah of spirituality and wholeness to young adults and their parents.
B.T. alumni share their stories, how they became addicts and their journeys back to their families and community.
Practitioners trained through B.T. lead interactive sessions with teens and their parents. These sessions combine Jewish spirituality as well as life skills that promote healthy decisions and relationships.
The focus of this program is to teach Judaism as a path to promote self-acceptance, self-worth, spiritual values and family harmony. It addresses addictive and self-destructive behaviors that are becoming common among Jewish teens against the backdrop of Jewish learning, spirituality, and celebration as powerful tools of personal transformation.

Deep Search, Wide Search, & Everything Else You Should Know About Semantic Search
Dick Bourke of Engineering.com recently shared a primer on current search and discovery solutions. He writes, "I've written several posts describing Search & Discovery Solutions (SDSs). This post will pull them together in an overview… The core of an SDS is a search engine that indexes and searches a wide range of product data. Search engines operate with an index – an optimized file format that supports rapid data access and display of search results. They usually do not store the complete sources. A search engine must give fast results. For example, one hi-tech manufacturing company reports that search results display in less than two seconds when accessing 16 million items and metadata from within 24 million documents, drawings and images. The usual approach to SDS indexing is based on text values. This is in stark contrast to relational databases that store data in tables, records, attributes and values. What's more, an index eliminates any need for an intermediate relational database to help with queries." Read more

Growing Jonagold in Western Washington (EB1804)
Establishing and maintaining a commercial 'Jonagold' orchard.
Archeological evidence locates the origin of apples (various Malus species) in the region today known as Kazakhstan, specifically forests of the Tien Shan mountains. The Old Silk Road from the Black Sea to western China was key to the evolution of the cultivated apple. Caravans and foot travel have traversed it since Neolithic times, scattering seeds from apples eaten along the way. Carbonized remains of apples have been found in prehistoric lake dwellings in Switzerland, dating back to the Iron Age, and 8,500 years ago apples were being grown and eaten in ancient Jericho. Selected cultivars were probably well-established in the near east by 4,000 BC and were later documented by Roman authors.
Crabapples are the only native apple species in North America, with small, sour fruit, but native tribes cooked and stored the fruit, and used the bark medicinally. Only 9 years after first landing at Plymouth in 1620, colonists planted European apple trees in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Unlike Europe, apple varieties in early America were usually not grafted and most fruit came from seedling trees. The fruit was eaten fresh, but mainly processed for storage by drying, cooking, and especially by making cider. Johnny Appleseed (John Chapman) was very influential in spreading seedlings throughout the East and Midwest in the early 1800s. By the mid 1800s, farmers began to select for fruit quality and grafted the varieties they liked best. Development and selection of improved varieties has continued to the present day, conducted by both private and state sponsored research programs.
Old-time apple varieties is a list of apple varieties commonly found in old Pacific Northwest orchards compiled by R.A. Norton from an orchard reference book dated 1914.
Apple cultivar trials were begun in 1963 by Dr. Bob Norton. At that time the varieties available to home orchardists were often unsuited to local conditions, with problems of disease susceptibility, poor flavor and inferior keeping quality. In the years since, there have been notable improvements in variety selection for flavor, quality, disease resistance, and suitability for home garden production.
Several of the apples highly rated for home orchards have also proven suitable for commercial production. This is especially true where growers can make use of niche marketing or farm-market outlets to offer a specialized selection of high quality apples, with unique and distinctive flavor.
For a summary of apple variety trial results, see Reports.

A small collection of cider apples specifically bred for hard cider production was evaluated from 1978 to 1998, selecting for variety productivity and ease of growing. In 1994 six new varieties were added in a larger planting, which was expanded in 1999 with new trees from varieties in the earlier trial. In 2001–2002 new varieties from France and England were added. Beginning In 2002, varietal ciders were produced on-station using fruit from the trial, with the advice of an expert cider maker. The ciders are then sampled and evaluated for quality and marketability.
Cider School Classes have been offered in collaboration with Peter Mitchell, an internationally known expert in hard cider and perry production from Worcester, England. The classes emphasize practical aspects of cider making and include intensive hands-on laboratory work as well as field trips to orchards and cideries.

Old-time apple varieties, a list of apple varieties commonly found in old Pacific Northwest orchards compiled by R.A. Norton from an orchard reference book dated 1914.
his plot was established in 1994 as a site for cultural research on commercial apple production, and was set up to duplicate the conditions (rootstock, tree spacing, training methods, etc.) and variety strains typical of area orchards. Four strains – standard Jonagold, DeCoster, King (Jored) and Jonagored – were planted on M9 rootstock at 800 trees per acre. Spacing was 12' between rows and 4.5' between trees, with 4 replications across the block for a total of 480 trees. Crabapple pollinators (White Angel and Centennial) were set in between each 12-tree section of row. Irrigation was by a drip system, and trees were trained to a 2-wire trellis using a variant of the central leader method. Research performed in this block included a nutrition study of potassium-magnesium, scab and mildew spray trials, and thinning trials. The trial concluded in 2001.
The bulletin EB 1804 Growing Jonagold in Western Washington includes information derived from this trial on establishing and maintaining a commercial 'Jonagold' orchard. It covers topics including orchard site selection, soil testing and amendment, nutrition requirements, spacing, rootstocks, pruning, and harvest, much of which is applicable to apple growing in general.

Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is close to joining Fulham along with Sunderland midfielder Kieran Richardson, the London club said on Thursday.Former Bulgarian international Berbatov was expected to move to Fiorentina but the Serie A team said he failed to turn up for a scheduled meeting in Italy on Wednesday."Berbatov is finishing his medical and if everything is good he will be one of our players," coach Martin Jol told the club's website.
"He was on my list all the time - I tried to do something months ago and it didn't come off so I came back and it was the right moment for him to make his decision"
Fulham manager Martin Jol
"There were a lot of clubs interested but we were able and capable of getting him. He was on my list all the time - I tried to do something months ago and it didn't come off so I came back and it was the right moment for him to make his decision."Berbatov played under Jol when the Dutchman was in charge of Tottenham Hotspur.
The forward left White Hart Lane for Old Trafford in 2008.The 31-year-old struggled to hold down a place in the United first team last season and seemed set for a move to Fiorentina."The player embarked in the company of his agent and with tickets paid by Fiorentina on a direct flight to Florence," the Italian club said.
"But the player never arrived."Jol also said a fee had been agreed for former England international Richardson."We are talking to Richardson and hopefully he will come to us," the Dutchman explained.
"I see him playing as a winger."
Defoe doesn't go
Berbatov's former club Tottenham Hotspur received mixed fortunes on Thursday with centre half Younes Kaboul having a knee operation that will sideline him for four months while striker Jermain Defoe signed a new three-year contract."Younes Kaboul has undergone knee surgery in France today. The France defender is expected to be sidelined for four months," the Premier League club said on their website on Thursday.The 26-year-old was forced out of the European Championship in June because of a serious knee complaint.Spurs also said on their website that Defoe, who is 10th in the club's all-time scoring charts with 119 goals, had signed his new deal.The 29-year-old former West Ham United and Portsmouth striker has 16 goals in 49 international appearances for England.

Man accused of killing Clayton Co. officer has police record
By The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) -- A man accused of killing a Clayton County police officer last month had been released from prison in May.
Tremaine Lebis had a 20-year history of trouble. Clayton County officer Sean Callahan was fatally shot Dec. 17 when he answered a domestic disturbance call involving Lebis. Lebis died in a shootout with police.
Lebis was convicted in 1992 of shooting his roommate in the back of the head. He got a 20-year sentence for aggravated assault and then another four-year sentence for prison escape. He got paroled in 2008. He was arrested in 2011 on a weapons charge and reached a plea deal for a six-month sentence. His parole officer sent him back to prison, and the parole board released him in May 2012.

It is time for bed and I am staying loyal to my promise of writing a blog each day for sixty days. So my blogs will vary in content and please excuse a blog every now and then, which may not be fulfilling. Today is one such blog. Thursdays are my busiest days because I schedule most appointments, run errands and work as full-time mommy. And on Thursday evenings I lead support groups for grieving adults. Today was productive, and I truly enjoy running groups about grief and loss. After leaving group, I feel truly blessed and fortunate to support and empower others, while also learning a great deal from families. It is a very rewarding job.
That is the part of my day I truly enjoyed. The part I did not was the hour and half wait at doctor's appointment today. The longest I have ever waited for a doctor's appointment was two hours and 15 minutes. This was close. But I was very grateful to my Aunt who watched my daughter while I attended the appointment. She was understanding when I speed texted "I may be late, doctor is late. Is that okay?" To which my Aunt responded, "Take your time. Even go shopping if you want to." I then sighed and texted, "I wish, but I am here waiting." Today was a test in patience.
At the end of the day, I am thankful for another day with purpose, love and support. I am grateful for this blog. And I am excited about the journey ahead, a leap of faith. Day 4 is pretty darn good! And to that sentiment, good night, as I am one very tired mommy at the end of an "on the go" day.
Be Well,

Acupuncture, a tenet of Chinese medicine, works by using small, thin needles to restore the free flow of energy in the body. A 2009 review of 22 studies regarding acupuncture and migraines suggests that acupuncture is at least as effective, and possibly more effective, than drug treatment for migraine prevention. While the frequency of needed treatments varies woman to woman, James Rohr, a doctor of Oriental medicine and licensed acupuncturist in Miami, says patients who commit to a series of treatments experience the best results.

Difference Between Irony and Sarcasm
Irony vs Sarcasm
In accordance to the definition of any dictionary an irony is the use of word or phrases that express a totally different meaning from its literal meaning, wherein sarcasm is the use of words that is a bit sarcastic and intended to make someone the victim of ridicule.
Now when it comes to the difference between irony and sarcasm, sarcasm is actually a subdivision or part of irony in a way, but it is used more specifically to hurt and embarrass the person personally. The attack is more personal and deliberate in nature and this is only used by people when they are angry or do not like the person they are talking to.
More often than not, sarcasm is also more derogatory and really insulting. However, even if this is the case many people still use sarcasm to hide their true feelings, and the oddest thing is that even friends use this to one another as a butt of joke or a way to tell their friends how they really feel. Just always keep in mind that you should also take into consideration your bond with that someone. If your ties are really strong and tested then it might be fine to use sarcasm once in awhile, since it could break your relationship if the sarcasm used is totally hurtful.
Irony, on the other hand is a more subtle way of expressing how you really feel, but without really saying and hurting them. Sounds confusing? An irony is expressing a word that is not really what you wanted to say. Like when you say the phrase 'over the top' or 'way over your head' to another person, it is a restrained way of saying that, 'maybe they should think about it first', because they might not be capable or don't have the capacity to do it.
Furthermore, irony can be used not just in words but also in situations wherein the circumstances are more ironic. Irony is absolutely not used to offend another person directly or indirectly.
In other words, Irony tones and delivery will always be humorous and sometimes can be viewed as life's practical joke. So if you are the one at the receiving end of an irony, you might even laugh at the whole thing and might not even bother to look into the real meaning of that irony.
Now that we have drawn the line and have define the real meaning or the difference between irony and sarcasm, it would be easy to compare which words is an irony and which one is the sarcasm.
Remember always, that sarcasm is nasty and not very good, especially if that sarcasm is directed towards you. Even if you are not the intended victim ,it is still not funny to use sarcasm, unless of course the situation really calls for it.
1. Sarcasm is used more specifically to hurt and embarrass the person personally, while irony, on the other hand, is a more subtle way of expressing how you really feel.
2. Irony tones and delivery will always be humorous and sometimes can be viewed as life's practical joke, while sarcasm is nasty and not very good.

People Go Nuts Over Fried Turkey Testicles
As guys, we'll eat almost anything. Brew us up some cat poop coffee, toss us a stuffed cone pizza explosion; we can handle it. There is one thing we're a little weary to try, though -- mostly because it's a male issue at hand -- deep fried turkey testicles.

Gus Hooker of Bedforshire, England has a couple really good reasons to take part in "Movember," the month-long initiative to raise awareness and funds for men's cancer research.
The first is that the 13-year old's grandfather is currently recovery from cancer. The second is that Hooker is the rare 13-year-old who can grow a solid mustache.

Orthodontist Sued for Leaving Braces on Patient for 11 Years
Eleven years. That's how long Devin Bost, now 22, was outfitted with braces on his teeth. We know what you're thinking. Those must have been some crooked chompers, right? Wrong. Turns out that Bost is now suing Oregon orthodontist Brad Chvatal for $150,000, along with $35,100 in attorney fees, as compensation for surgeries and expenses related to tooth and gum problems he sustained as a result of wearing braces for half his life.

For The 5 Series Touring shows BMW at the top of its game. A great drive, loads of space and Efficient Dynamics make it the must-have executive estate car.
Against It doesn't ride or handle particularly well unless you add the optional adjustable suspension. Talking of which, it's all too easy to get carried away with the optional extras and ramp up the price.
What Car? says
The BMW 5 Series Touring is the ideal solution for those who like to dash and carry. Beautifully built, superb to drive and financially unbeatable. What's not to like?
What Car? readers say
Buying a car? Need Help?Get in touch
There are 22 BMW 5 Series versions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
You buy a BMW estate as much for the way it drives as for its load-lugging abilities, which means you may want to explore the dynamic chassis options. You can add Variable Damper Control to four-cylinder models and Adaptive Drive to six-cylinder models, and we strongly recommend that you do. These options transform the car, making the ride more cosseting and the handling sharper.
Regardless, you'll have no problem lumping heavy loads, as all Tourings come with self-leveling rear suspension.
Obviously, the more powerful petrol versions will deliver thrills, but there's no need to punish yourself at the pumps when the 520d will deliver performance and economy.
Although it's powered by a relatively small 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, its 181bhp gives very decent performance; yet, take things easy and it'll return 55.4mpg.
If you're a company car driver, then the 520d's CO2 output of just 135g/km places it in a lowly company car tax bracket.

From the United States, the heart of the empire that imposes its laws on the entire planet, thousands of voices of the most scorned and forgotten people are now being raised to show millions of men and women what dignity really is.
San Cristóbal de Las Casas, July 30, 2013
The 30,000 prisoners who have launched a hunger strike in the prisons of California in the United States are our brothers and sisters. All these men and women who refuse to be silent, who are right to rebel, who defend their dignity by defying a powerful government to which the European governments have bowed down, deserve the respect and admiration of the whole world.
The United States is a country where freedom is reserved for the rich and well-to-do classes, big businessmen, financiers, and the political class. They are free to earn as much money as possible through the business of war and prison after having caused people to become obsessed with the danger of terrorism and criminality.

Investors Beware: Market Risks Are Higher than Ever
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( ChrisMartenson.com) -- After the shot across the bow in 2008, you might have expected regulators and market participants would use the experience to change for the better, to become more prudent and to reduce the sorts of risky behaviors that almost crashed the entire system.
Unfortunately, you'd be wrong.
LTCM and Moral Hazard
In 1998, there was a firm called Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM, as it is commonly referred to today), staffed by the best of the best, including one of the very top bond traders that Wall Street ever produced as well as two future Nobel laureates.LTCM boasted of its use of complex models that were supposed to generate outsized returns while operating with a risk-minimizing profile that, mathematically, was only supposed to experience severe losses so infrequently that the periods between them would be measured in the thousands of years. Unfortunately for LTCM, their models badly underestimated real risks, and their leverage was such that their original $1 billion in capital turned into total losses of $4.6 billion in a little over four years, nearly dragging down the entire financial system in the process. While this experience has much to teach us in the way of market risk, hubris, and the dangers of leverage, it really needs to be understood in terms of the rise of moral hazard on Wall Street. The main lesson that Wall Street seems to have learned from the LTCM disaster is that if the wipe-out was big enough, the Federal Reserve would swoop in and rescue things. Message received: Go big or go home. Take on as much risk as possible, secure in the knowledge that if things got bad enough, the Fed would simply print up what was necessary to make all the players whole again, with perhaps one core player or institution thrown under the bus for the sake of appearances. Fast forward to 2008, and that exact experience was replicated perfectly, thereby reinforcing Wall Street's perception that it is best rewarded by chasing big risks and big returns. And if things didn't go as hoped, the good ol' Fed would always be there to push the reset button.

Hugh Jackman, recently named People's Sexiest Man Alive, has a new title: Oscar host.The Australia star has been tapped to host the 81st annual Academy Awards ceremony, to take place Feb. 22, producer Laurence Mark and executive producer Bill Condon announced Friday."Hugh Jackman is a consummate entertainer and an internationally renowned movie star," Mark and Condon said in a joint statement. "He also has style, elegance and a sense of occasion. Hugh is the ideal choice to host a celebration of the year's movies — and to have fun doing it."It will be the actor's first time emceeing the star-studded extravaganza, but he's no hosting rookie. Jackman's thrice hosted the Tony Awards, from 2003-05, and has an Emmy to show for it.Jackman, a Tony winner, is a departure from the usual hosting suspects: comedians. Jon Stewart hosted the 2008 ceremony (his second time), and other recent hosts include Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Steve Martin and the very frequent Billy Crystal. However, with new producers, a new set director and a new music director behind next year's show, it may be time for more singing and dancing, and less joking and ribbing.What do you think of the Academy's choice? Will Hugh bring the goods? Who would you pick to host?

Air Jordan 3 Fire Red 32 crushing of Stevensville Lakeshore with video and gallery With Division 1 college recruits like Denzel Valentine, Bryn Forbes, Anthony Clemmons and Jalen Hayes, it no wonder Lansing Sexton powered to a secondconsecutive Class B state championship with a 6732 win more than Stevensville Lakeshore. Sadly for the Lancers, which produced their own history with a state final appearance, they have been only in the way of greatness for Sexton. guys are incredible, I telling you, said Lansing Sexton coach Carlton Valentine, whose team completed 271. guys have endured so a great deal pressure becoming No. 1 all year becoming the No. 1 group in the state of Michigan. of class, this is the No. 1 basketball team in the state of Michigan. We played the toughest schedule in Michigan Romulus, No. 1, (Detroit) Pershing, No. 1, Lansing Eastern and the only game we lost was by one particular point to Pershing." Related Jordan 3 Fire Red Hyperlink: View the photo gallery from this game. Cleveland Statebound Forbes led the Big Reds with 19 points, followed by Michigan State commit Valentine, 15 points and 11 rebounds and Hayes with 12 points. With a 124 lead to end the first quarter, Lansing Sexton heated up the net the subsequent two quarters by scoring 45 points. The Major Reds led 3210 at the half and took a comfy 5721 advantage to end the third quarter and all but close the door. a extremely superior feeling to win backtoback state championships, said Denzel Valentine, who was named the AP Class B Player of the Year. these with my finest close friends is an incredible feeling. When you win two state championships, it just shows the dominance. just trying to make a legacy. I really feel like our entire team deserves it for how considerably operate we put in.
After scoring only three points, Clemmons, who averages 15 per game, Jordan 3 Fire Red 2013 was sidelined with a back injury in the second quarter. thank the guys for maintaining the power going, said Clemmons, who committed to play for Iowa subsequent year. knew my guys weren going to let me down. pressed to ponder his group location in state history, Forbes said the Large Reds are a single of the greatest. feel we fairly superior, but I don know about the greatest ever, Forbes stated. put a ton of work into this, it didn just happen. Lakeshore coach Sean Schroeder agreed. the way this game went was not what we envisioned, but that a single of the finest high school basketball teams I observed in the state of Michigan, said Schroeder, whose Lancers finished at 243. a heck of a basketball team, and there a reason they won backtoback state championships. you shoot 22 percent for the ballgame, it incredibly challenging to compete with a team that excellent. But Jordan 3 2013 I was really proud of our kids and we continued to compete the entire game.

Dear Doctor, I was listening to your videos
One thing I did not know/wonder.
When there is a wound (any wound, not talking of any specific procedure), I remember you said that if a scab is formed, then the skin will not heal properly underneath it.
So one must not let the scab form in the first place.
When I explained that to a friend, she asked me something I was not sure my answer was right...
She asked me: how do you avoid a scab?
I told her: using vaseline or some emollient all the time
She then asked me: doesn't scab form even if there is an emollient cream on top of the wound?
And that's where I honestly was not sure what to answer.
Doctor, if an emollient is applied above a wound, will the scab NOT form, ever. Or will it form anyway, just not in the fast, "bad" way than can lead to scarring?
And if the scab somewhat formed, anyway, what should people do?
My nephew (a kid) just had a small accident and a scab has formed (I had not seen him until today) in his face (small, yet, as it is in the face, I guess trying not to get a scar is best), right where he has the wound. I told him not to pick at the scab and to keep it moist ... did I say the right thing? What should I suggest him if the scab is already there? I assume taking it off is not good... but since the best (not having a scab in the first place) is something that I can't do anything about... what should I do/tell him/my sister to make him do?

why should children under 5 NOT be given baking soda?
Hello all, I've been drinking baking for over 2 weeks now by itself ( I add a pinch in all water I drink), however I would like to start adding the potassium into it. However, I do not know exactly what potassium is the correct and best to use and where to buy it at? I read a lot about it on here, but there is so much info that I'm confused. So, could someone please enlighten me on which potassium to buy and where I can buy it from? Thank you so much! I'm doing this for ulcerative colitis and I feel like the baking soda works sometimes, but not all the time. I'm having a lot of mucous and gas... Any help is grateful. Thank you all!!!

Baking Soda and the Pancreas 0 0Posted by Dennis (Indianapolis, Indiana) on 01/24/2013
I had a gall bladder attack which affected my pancreas, I wanted to take baking soda to help improve my PH. Will this affect my pancreas? Thanks for help and God Bless.Replied by Bill

01/24/2013Hi Dennis... Supplementing Sodium Bicarbonate will not harm the pancreas or the gallbladder. One of the main functions of the human pancreas is to provide pancreatic juices during digestion. These pancreatic juices necessarily contain bicarbonates for a purpose. These juices are important and necessary to neutralize the chyme(food and acid from the stomach) and to create the necessary alkaline medium for proper operation of the pancreatic enzymes for main stage digestion to occur without problems in the duodenum. So supplementing with Sodium Bicarbonate or baking soda is actually beneficial to the pancreas - it restores the important bicarbonate stores in the pancreas necessary for proper digestion -- and will also benefit gall bladder problems.
For gall bladder and gallstone issues Ted also advises adjustments in diet -- no vegetable oils, no dairy, less meat and low sugar intake. Supplement a teaspoon of granulated lecithin(not the oil form) at mealtimes and also taking Ted's citric acid or lemon/lime alkalizing remedy twice a day will also benefit gall bladder problems. I would also advise taking 1000 mgs organic chanca piedra capsules 3 times a day with meals or just take the tea form three times a day. This regimen helps to reduce excess calcium and fat(mainly excess vegetable oils) in the body thereby helping to prevent gall bladder problems and which also helps to remove gallstones as well.

[SIDE EFFECTS] My question is for Ted, Bill or any body who can give some explanation for some one to develop too much of gas after taking sodium bi carbonate even with apple cider vinegar or with lemon. Some time soda is used in cooking and if that food is consumed even that creates lot of gas. I would like to know if some body else also had this type of experience, and if so what was the remedy.

[SIDE EFFECTS] Please be careful with baking soda. It took me 2 years to realize it was cleaning with baking soda that was causing the skin around my finger nails to crack and bleed... Very painful. Use rubber gloves to clean with baking soda. It also caused a rash when I wash my hair with it. It took me several months to figure that one out since the rash didn't start when I first used it... It didn't start until several months later.Replied by Francisca

12/15/2013[SIDE EFFECTS] I have used baking soda and coconut oil as a deodorant and it is super! Best deodorant I have ever used. However after using it for a while, I broke out in a flat, red, itchy rash about the size of a quarter or a bit bigger in both underarms. Coconut oil alone has never given me a skin problem. Nothing I have used gets rid of this rash though I discontinued this protocol at least a couple of months ago. Anyone have any idea as to how to get rid of a rash like this?Replied by Mama To Many

12/15/2013Hi Dallas,
One of my teen sons has had this happen to him, several times. He has very sensitive armpits and has had just the rash you describe, even from natural deodorants. He had immense relief from a home-made salve I made for him. It has been a while and I don't recall the exact recipe. But any natural salve made with calendula would be similar. Plantain, comfrey and chickweed would all be good for your skin if they would be in a natural salve you could find. I think the one I made had some tea tree essential oil in it.
If you can't find something like that, try A&D ointment (the original one) for diaper rash. It has to be the name brand and the original. I believe it is effective because of the Cod Liver Oil (for the A&D.) Generic has A&D but the source is not Cod Liver Oil and I find it doesn't work at all. You would find this in the baby section of any store with a baby section.
If neither of those work, it could be a fungal rash, though it does just seem to be a reaction to the baking soda.
By the way, my son can use Alvera Aloe deodorant. He works on a farm and gets very sweaty and this really does work for him. He has used it for years with no reaction.
Let us know how it goes! If none of these work, I will try and think of more ideas. We have dealt with many skin issues in our family.

12/16/2013Thanks, Anon. I will consider using your idea for a treatment, but as the rash is not only itchy, it burns a lot too, and many things I put on it make that burning worse. ACV probably would be no exception. But if things settle down, I might just try it.Replied by Dallas

12/16/2013Dear Mom to Many,

12/16/2013FYI: I just checked our drug store brand generic A&D and the first ingredient on it is cod liver oil. It also says to compare the ingredients with the original. Costs less and works well for us. As far as rashes go...could be something that is being eaten. I had to make a list of everything I ate and what time I ate it to observe what reaction I was having when. Food is changing. Our entire food supply is being infiltrated with hidden sources of MSG and GMO's. Everyone is on his own to find what is safe.Replied by Mama To Many

Thanks for letting us know about the generic A&D. That is good to know. It has been years since I checked on that. I don't know if all generics have Cod Liver Oil, but glad at least one does.

Dear EC: I have been doing the baking soda remedy for raising body chemistry pH. I have put baking soda in my water because it is acidic - to raise the pH to about 7.2. This remedy, as well as the borax remedy, gives me sore kidneys, as well as making me urinate what seems to be much more than I am taking in, and almost totally clear urine at that. I try to drink my proper quota but know, however, that I seldom drink as much as I should. I know that the copious amount of clear urine can be a sign of kidney problems, yet I have had these problems on and off years ago (pre baking soda or borax in water) and cured them by going off all sugar, so I suspect that the problem was originally yeast, and that the baking soda and/or borax is killing yeast and giving me a herxheimer reaction. Yet, kidney pain with copious amounts of almost clear urine is a bit scary. Has anyone else had this problem or can anyone explain what might be happening?Posted by Dallas2 (Amesbury, Ma, Usa) on 08/29/2010

Are there side effects from taking baking soda constantly as a remedy for heartburn?Replied by Dianna
Austin, Tx
08/26/2010There are probably not side effects for everyone - however baking soda for some reason does not agree with my body. I was putting a tiny amount in ACV and noticed that when I would do this I would get gas and that I wouldn't get gas w/o the baking soda! Also I tried using the baking soda to rinse my mouth out after taking the ACV and noticed my teeth got more sensitive with the baking soda than they did with the ACV alone!!! However my boyfriend frequently takes up to a tablespoon (!!! ) of baking soda in some water - at one time and hasn't had problems... So I would say it depends on your body! Watch and see what your body tells you. Personally I am now leery of baking soda for myself and my boyfriend LOVES it!!! Btw - he hates ACV...Replied by Jody

04/19/2011If I only take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with a 8oz glass of water, I get severe gas and abdominal pain. After I pass the gas, I start to feel better. I was taking the baking soda to relieve burning after urinating. I don't think I will be able to take baking soda. Every time I take some baking soda this happens. Some people can take baking soda without any problems & in some people it causes problems. I guess I will have find another remedy that don't cause belching and severe abdominal gas.Posted by Jc (Tonawanda, Ny) on 08/22/2010
I have been nebulizing sodium bicarbonate for a lung condition with positive results. However, there is a negative side effect with the treatment: I have been developing urinary discomfort. A CT scan revealed a ureter stone that seems to have passed when I temporarily ceased the SB and drank a lemon juice/oil mixture. But when I take the SB the discomfort comes back soon after. Is this common with others, and what can I do to continue the SB nebulizing without damaging my urinary systems? Thanks. JcPosted by Lou (Melbourne, Victoria Australia) on 04/28/2010

09/15/2009Ok I looked at it and the first thing that I noticed is that the wording in the documents titling each article was unlike any other medical document I have ever seen.

07/20/2014This study provides a good overview about the risks involved with baking soda ingestion:
"One patient in our series was using the baking soda as antacid and subsequently was diagnosed with a perforated bowel requiring surgical intervention. This case was illustrative of the problem of using a home remedy treatment which could delay seeking medical help, as well complicate or exacerbate an existing medical problem. The instructions on the package for baking soda state âstop use and ask a doctor if symptoms last more than 2 weeks'.[1] This may be an inappropriate time frame as some patients may need medical intervention more urgently based on more serious symptomatology. The package also warns the user not to take the product when the stomach is overly full from food or drink. This warning was added at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because of multiple case reports of spontaneous gastric rupture due to production of large volumes of carbon dioxide on neutralization of stomach acid by the baking soda."

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] any dangers from taking bi carbonate of soda? i have been taking approx 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda twice a day for approx 2years without any apparent side effects. Recently I have been a bit constipated, despite drinking approx 2 litres of filtered water a day, and having a small quantity of fruit. Our diet has only small amount protein, no beef, and asian vegies. I have regular colonscopies, all good. I am not on any medication (62yo). At present I have a virus, flu and dr said low blood pressure.

I do not know if the use of the BS would cause the constipation. I have considered using it to help my lungs. I hope you are soon able to resolve the problem. I just wanted to mention to you that supplemental magnesium will help with the constipation. It draws water to the intestines. If you begin to develop diarrhea just back off it some. Everyone should be using mag.

[WARNING!] I added Baking Soda to my ACV treatment and had many of the side effects others mention on this site. Baking Soda lowers Vitamin C levels and this can lead to symptoms of scurvy. I had to do a lot of research to find this out. I woke up with a purple spot/bruise on my leg and that convinced me, as I had not bumped into anything to bruise myself. The purple bruise looking spot is a sign of scurvy. Luckily, it was recommened to me to take Vitamin C for Constipation. I was sooo sick (my asthma was out of control) last night and the night before. I did not know that Vitamin C actually helps Astmatics.
I took 6 mgs of Vitamin C last night in error. I picked up the wrong size of measuring spoon!!..luckily! I had been up the prior two nights coughing up mucus, but last night I slept through the night. I couldn't figure it out since I needed to take bendryl the other nights just to not choke on the mucus. It appears that the 6 mg of Vitamin C did it's job to replenish my Vitamin C and to help with my asthma.
I woke up with the usual morning junk to cough up and spit out. I took 1000 mg of vitamin C and it stopped this problem dead in it's tracks. People need to read about what vitamin C does, especially for people with Asthma and food allergies. Also, the baking soda should NOT be recommended on this site.
It depletes the Vitamin C. If someone is already low in Vitamin C it can cause Survy Symptoms as it did in me.
I love this site, but I think promoting Baking Soda that depletes Vitamin C is wrong. Also, I love Apple Cider Vinegar and it is promoted here as the top natural relief, but I never hear any talk of vitamin C. It works wonders for Asthma, Hay fever and a load of Respiratory illnesses and other illnesses.Replied by Mark

09/02/2009Just about anything one does depletes vitamin C, especially stress but one would not give up working and walking on the streets because of this depletion. Same with sodium bicarbonate, it is not helpful to warm people to not use it if they need it. What would be more helpful is to recommend supplementation of vitamin C in conjunction with the use of bicarbonate. Whenever we use bicarbonate we should also use magnesium chloride because the two together make the perfect mitochondrial medicine. Combination therapy is the key when using natural remedies.Replied by Jean

03/11/2010I would like to make a simple common sense comment about this. I believe moderation in all things is very important and the absolute key to good health. Some people see a bottle of pills and it states one pill twice a day and some individuals believe if one, twice a day is good,then four, twice a day is even better! Well it's NOT my friends! Some people over do it and then suffer the consequences. Nothing should be repeated continually over a period of days/weeks or even months, not even the same foods, without consequences. But lets consider the substance we are talking about. Baking Soda and Baking Powder can easily be confused. Make sure what you are using is exactly what is being recommended. Don't mistake baking powder for baking soda. And if you are familiar with kinetic energy then you can test to see how much is too much and avoid going over your necessary limit. If you do not know about kinetic muscle testing then find a good Chiropractor who practices it or research the internet to learn about it. It is the most valueable tool you could ever use to measure your limit on everything from food to suppliments. You can even determine foods you are allergic to or are slightly allergic to. Lets be sensible and safe with our bodies. But most importantly, if a doctor recommends ANYthing that has a needle attached to it...DO NOT ALLOW IT. Many people put WAY too much faith in our Medical Society. It's time to take control of your life and your health. Research EVERYTHING!!!

09/16/2009Sally is right...baking SODA is Sodium Bicarbonate, pure and simple and does not contain aluminum. Sources of aluminum include vaccines, American cheese like the kind used in fast food joints (makes it melt easily), municipal water supplies (they add aluminum to clear up turbidity and make the water sparkle; purely for aesthetic purposses), food colorant that has the word "lake" in the name and anti-perspirants to name just a few of the sources of aluminum in our world. Oh, and I think non-dairy creamers have aluminum in them, too.

Glass Half Full or Faulty Frontal Lobe?by Jennifer Gibson, PharmD | October 29, 2011
Researchers recently reported that optimism may not be as rosy as once thought. In fact, optimism may actually be due to a brain malfunction. How is that for a glass-half-empty view of the world?
Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Center for Neuroimaging at University College London enrolled 14 volunteers to evaluate optimism in the face of bad news. While undergoing functional magnetic resonance image scans, the volunteers were presented with 80 negative scenarios, including being divorced, developing chronic diseases, and being a victim of crime. Each volunteer was asked to estimate the probability that these events would happen to him or her. While still in the scanner, the volunteers were presented with the actual probabilities of each event occurring. After the scans, volunteers were again asked to estimate the probability of each negative event. They also completed questionnaires that assessed optimism.
Essentially, the study found that in eternally optimistic people, the brain rejected bad news. If the estimated probability of a negative event was better than a participant expected, activity in the frontal lobe increased and the participant updated his or her own estimate in accordance with the true estimate. All participants in the study showed increased frontal lobe activity in this scenario.
Alternatively, if the estimates were worse, optimistic people displayed less frontal lobe activity and did not significantly update their own estimates. Optimists effectively ignored bad news, even when substantiated by facts.
The authors assert that this blind optimism is due to a malfunction in the prefrontal cortex that is supposed to update neural coding of undesirable information regarding the future likelihood of negative events. The brain is supposed to update personal risk factors when presented with negative information.
While optimism does have health benefits — lower anxiety, decreased stress, and improved health — unrealistic optimism can be detrimental to our well-being. People who are unrealistic about their risk of negative events are more likely to engage in risky behavior such as unsafe sexual practices, consumption of drugs or alcohol, or investing in less-than-secure financial situations. In fact, a related study reported that optimism predicts the occurrence of alcohol-related negative events; higher levels of optimism predicted more negative events, despite facts and past experience supporting the risky nature of the activities. A little pessimism, or even skepticism or realism, likely helps the fittest survive.
The study was quite small, and optimism is a highly subjective trait that varies across cultures, genders, and age groups. The authors are not telling people not to have a positive outlook — optimism surely has its place — but they do insist that optimistic brains are not functioning properly.
I would be remiss if I left out Monty Python's rose-colored life lesson in a story about optimism: "Always look on the bright side of life." But, in this case, we should be more appropriately reminded that "nobody expects the Spanish inquisition." At least, optimists don't.

Lola amazed me. I love floral scents , bouquet not just single flowers. Still, sometimes the mixtures smell similar mainstream.
This is not the case with Lola, to me it smells a little powdery oriental, but the flowers predominate, to me it is sweet, but perfectly and not too sweet. I think I smell the wonderful violets out.
Definitely one of the scent surprises to me.

My chiahuahua and best friend Lola passed away and I have not been dealing with this very well.
My mom sent me this perfume as a surprise and on the card it said " Now you can wear a little Lola"
It was beautifully wrapped also, I just wanted to tell anyone it was a great surprise and I will be back to send this random act of kindness to someone else...thanks,Mom I love you, Tam
