I have't had a breakfast smoothie in ages, I mixed some yogurt with milk, added strawberries, and blackberries then mixed it all up. I may tomorrow make one with adding some orange juice. My friend said how fattening they are,...

sugarboogerbear I agree, almond milk is better. Not fattening but make sure you get the one that specifically says unsweetened.

I have a goiter/thyroid nodule that I've had for years. I have had my thyroid tested several times and the doctors always say my blood work is normal and that my thyroid is functioning properly. However, I have suffered with many...

sugarboogerbear Thank you VB: Never heard that about the teas. Regarding iodine, I will have to look into that. I do eat seaweed occasionally like dulse or powdered kelp.

There is nothing like fresh juice from your own juicer. If you love juice, investing in a juicer and making your own is well worth it. Not to mention, the health benefits are proven and many. Even veggie juice can be yummy and...

sugarboogerbear Yeah, that's a good one. One of my favorites (mentioned above) is a cantaloupe, carrots and sweet potato mixture. Because of the yam it's frothy and ends of with a thickness sort of like a smoothie. Spice it up with a little lime and ginger (use powdered or...

My friends had their van repossessed on Saturday. They called and asked if I could take them to the store. I didn't mind doing this at all. Then they asked if they could borrow my car until they got a different vehicle. Yes, there...

sugarboogerbear And another thing...you should tell them that they will have to contribute towards gasoline. And if they're really your friends and not users, they would offer without you even asking. I couldn't imagine asking someone to put themselves out to that degree...

sugarboogerbear You were nice to even take them to the store. You have no reason to feel bad. They're your friends, not your children or anyone else you are responsible for. They are the ones who should be feeling bad for getting their car repossessed in the first place. Not...

I learned of Gabriel Cousens when a friend shared a DVD documentary with me about his clinic in Arizona, where he has cured patients of diabetes in 30 days using a raw food diet. Working in healthcare, I shared this information...

sugarboogerbear Well, I'm not exactly %100 raw at this point but I'm enjoying the journey. I am eating a lot more vegetarian meals though. I'd say 50-75% of my meals are vegetarian. I didn't set out to do that but once I started with raw veggies and juicing my desire for meat...

I was reading an article a friend sent me, my doctor kept saying for me to drink milk because of the oseteoporosis I have. I can't stand milk, it turns my stomach. When I was in the Dominican I loved their milk (and I was told...

sugarboogerbear To SWP: Something to be aware of regarding thyroid. You can have normal test results on thyroid panel tests and still have an issue with your thyroid. I have not actually been diagnosed because although I have a goiter, my numbers always come back normal....

sugarboogerbear hey Veganbliss! It bothered me too throwing away all that beautiful pulp. So...I found a dehydrator at a thrift store for $4! I just started experimenting with using the juice pulp to make veggie crackers in my new (used) dehydrator. Did my first batch a...

sugarboogerbear To answer STARTWEARINGPURPLE's comment, my thyroid is under-active as well. I'm not sure if it matters if it is hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism that you have. I just know I've read that soy products can aggravate existing thyroid conditions. Do some research...

sugarboogerbear Another thing about starting to smoke wee at a young age is that it can induce psychosis or even schizophrenia in later life. This is documented and true. Particularly if you start before the age of fifteen it's possible to have these problems later. I have...

sugarboogerbear Ditto on the spices. Spices and olive oil can add flavor to just about anything. One of my favorite easy dishes is any kind of beans with tumeric, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil and a little salt. Very tasty! This same combo of seasoning works well...

sugarboogerbear Ariannet, chicken is done once it's not red inside anymore. If you're not sure don't be afraid to make a cut into it and see if you see any blood. If there's no blood then it's done.

Has anyone had issues in their relationships because of depression? I find that most of the time the person I'm involved with only makes me feel worse (why didn't you answer the phone? why don't you wanna see me? you act like you...

sugarboogerbear "...a person who is in depression may behave in that way cause she or he needs attention and care and love...that is it..." Aah, such a sweet thought. I think you're right...attention, care and love not ridicule, guilt and anger. Thanks. That touched me.

sugarboogerbear That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. When you're depressed the last thing you need is someone telling you that you're just lazy. That only makes you feel worse! The silliest thing anyone ever said to me about being depressed was from my grandma. She...

sugarboogerbear Hi JMC! Thanks for your post. That's my frustration. Even when I try to be upfront about what's going on they don't get it and act offended if I need space. People need space sometime even if they're not dealing with any major issues. It takes a mature, secure...

sugarboogerbear I agree, "Depression is best traveled alone." At least that's the best way I've found to deal with it so far. But I think on the other hand, if you have a partner who is secure enough to let you go through it while being supportive, then that can be helpful...

sugarboogerbear Hey Alpha. I guess you misunderstood the post. It's me that has the episodes of depression. As for medication, I've tried a few over the years and didn't like taking them. So now, I've learned how to take care of myself and for me that generally means time...

sugarboogerbear Absolutely. Unless you're involved with a very understanding, insightful and patient person it can get messy. But that being said, that's asking a lot of anyone.

sugarboogerbear That's the problem. You don't want to be rude but when the person doesn't get it you almost have to get selfish and think of yourself first no matter what they think. You can try to explain but if you try explaining to someone that your boat is sinking and...
