Effortless Healing was published in 2015 (Harmony Books), and written by Dr. Joseph Mercola. The book lists nine ways to help the human body fix itself without medication. Recommended by a nutrition specialist addressing the complete restructuring of my own gastrointestinal tract, the book offers straightforward and easily understood advice. While the alteration of your diet will probably not be as effortless as advertised in the title, I have found the advice to be invaluable in addressing the physical, emotional and mental issues which are part and parcel of human digestive tract malfunction.
Lifestyle choices determine health. While our DNA causes us to be predisposed to certain physical traits, most traits do not express unless the chemical reaction is triggered by an enzyme or precursor in our genome. Without proper input, that chemical reaction doesn’t ever happen. Seeking medical help for digestive health is almost dangerous in an environment where pharmaceutical companies advertise their drugs to you almost nonstop via media outlets. The drugs may make you feel better, but they are also killing you quietly by destroying your body’s ability to function.
The book recommends having testing to determine your insulin levels, cholesterol levels, average blood pressure, uric acid content and other key factors easily obtained from either a local health facility or at one of the laboratories recommended in the book. This is to not only give you confidence in the program, once understood, but to inform you of your body’s current state of health.
1. Pure Water
Drinking pure water involves a lot more than turning on your tap. But, even tap water is better than most bottled waters, in spite of the toxins in fluoridated water. The best water to drink is chilled spring water because it is structured water, a term explained in detail in the first chapter. If you lack access to spring water, there are many filtering systems available. We preferred the Big Berkey system for its portability.
2. Vegetables
Non-startchy vegetables should take up most of our plate for meals. Organic vegetables are most likely to be (but, not always) free of pesticides, fertilizers, sewage, and radiation to kill “germs.” You should avoid genetically engineered foods like corn and soy, unless fermented (sixth chapter).
If you don’t like to eat raw vegetables, juicing is an easy way to add the nutrients to your diet. Spend a few hours juicing your vegetables and fruit and freeze it for consumption.
3. Fat
Eat good fat. A calorie does not equal a calorie. Your body can burn sugar or it can burn fat. The body depletes its sugar in 12 hours, but if you eat good fat, your body will grow accustomed to burning fat to metabolize fat. It is in this section that the doctor also recommends intermittent fasting by consuming all your daily food in an 8 to 10 hour window. This helps your body burn fat.
4. Non-exercise Movements
There is so much common sense in this even a caveman should realize it. Our body was designed to squat, to kneel or to walk. Since modern life lends itself to sedentary lifestyle, it is important we pay attention to our posture at all times. The doctor recommends setting an alarm on your phone or computer to remind you to stand and stretch every fifteen minutes. He also recommends what he calls Peak Fitness exercise, which is 20 minutes of intense exercise for cardio purpose with Yoga types of stretching for muscle strength and tone.
5. Sunlight and Vitamin D
This section discusses the misinformation in the medical community regarding melanoma and cancers and their relationship to sunlight. It is mostly lies. There is also a strong relationship between the metabolism of Omega 3 fats and sunlight. If you are afraid of the sunlight, oh well.
6. Gut Health
This is the largest section and, of course, the most important one. But, the doctor makes it clear that attention to the bacteria in our gut will not in and of itself cure disease.
Gastrointestinal tract is complex with our health dependent on our ability to digest and use the nutrients in the foods we eat. Digestion impacts our physical well-being, emotional well-being and our mental health.
Central Nervous System (brain and spine) and the Enteric Nervous System (gastrointestinal system) are formed from the same fetal tissue in an embryo. They are connected by the vagus nerve, which allows the brain to communicate with the gut. Adding a few bites of good yogurt twice daily can alleviate stress, anxiety and depression.
The book explains fully the relationship between refined sugar and pathogenic bacteria (cancer cells thrive on refined sugar) and also, inflammation. The reason corn, soy and canola are detrimental to our health is because they are genetically engineered to grow in sizes and quantities which do not occur naturally. GMO foods turn your gut into a pesticide factory because the bacteria you need to digest your food is sensitive to the chemicals in Roundup.
There are many potential links to modern epidemics of Autism, Obesity, Multiple Sclerosis, not to mention the growing number of skin diseases seen throughout the world.
The doctor recommends fermenting your own foods if you do not have a trusted source. The recipes and ingredient lists are provided with several “how-to” guides so simple even a caveman could do it.
7. Sleep
The doctor explains the impact the lack of sleep, over time, has on memory and ability to concentrate. He also discusses the link to pre-diabetes, the immune system, aging, heart disease and tumor growth.
The brain is a closed system, protected by a blood-brain barrier. The cerebra-spinal fluid cleanses the brain and takes the waste to storage ventricles in the brain, which drain through a duct into the spine where it is distributed to the body’s system of cleansing: the liver. This particular waste management in the brain is most active during sleep. With the onset of darkness, around 7 p.m., melatonin begins to be secreted by the pineal gland, causing the human brain to slow down and desire sleep, unless it has been stimulated by bright light or caffeine-like stimulants to resist sleep. The doctor recommends introducing yourself to darkness without electronic stimulants to address insomnia, among other herbal remedies tried and true for ages.
*A hydrocephalic, like myself, might have the CSP drained to the abdominal cavity, as I did for years. This causes additional gastrointestinal problems for some, which is why my tube drains to my heart now. Almost nine years without revision.
8. Barefooting
This sounds like a silly chapter, but it includes a lot of information about the science of reflexology. Walmart also has a wonderful book on this technique, which will help TBP as well if you credit TBP when you order.
In a nutshell, our skin is a vital organ that protects every other part of our body. The importance of skin-on-skin contact should be obvious, but isn’t to all. This chapter also discusses the impact of laughter, faith and quality breathing techniques.
9. Eliminate Unhealthy Health Food
The last of the nine steps involves avoiding the health foods promoted by modern convenience that really are not very healthy at all. This includes some “natural” foods and sweeteners that are surprising to find on this list. However, a quick reading will explain why our bodies can’t handle the fat and gluten present in many grains and proteins derived from GMO crops.
I recommend this book to anyone hoping to modify their current lifestyle choices to address their own health issues without drugs.
And, while I checked the book out from the library, which I do to help encourage them to stay open, I will definitely be buying my own copy through the Walmart.com link here.
I hope you will at least consider it for your own health and well-being, as well as that of your families.
HELP TBP BY SHOPPING ON-LINE AT WAL-MART – TBP gets 4% OF EVERY TRANSACTION
Don’t forget to thank a Veteran of D-Day this week, if you can find one.
There aren’t many of them left to thank.
M G: thank you for posting this, it mirrors my own health issues and offers the guidance that I’ve followed to help heal myself without drugs. As to thanking a veteran, my 91 yo father gets all the thanks and love I can provide on a daily basis.
Cheers
Dumb cunt still stinking up the place I see.
what kind of a loser puts those words out in public?
you and your kind are the reason for so much hate in this world. Own it and do your self a favor, don’t post on TPB again, ever.
I couldn’t agree more!
I’m not even sure that’s the real Llpoh, but in any case, there’s nothing wrong with the word cunt – even if Mygirl didn’t warrant it this time.
God, you’re ignorant, cunt is in today’s vernacular is an insult, similar to someone calling you a prick. Whatever is going on with Llpoh is beyond fanaticism, seems he’s lost his mind. Trolling MD’s post like this is inexcusable and he’s doing it all over the place.
TorC – she compared me to war criminals, Nazis, and those who experimented on humans, complete with pictures. Unprovoked. I am never going to lay off her sorry skank ass. Go fuck yourself if you support what she did.
She did
Nobody on TBP should be offended by the word cunt. Or faggot.
The deranged nazi is still trolling…pathetic
LLpoh, enough with your hate. Take your filth elsewhere, we don’t need or want you here. Keep it up and the administrator will get enough complaints to get your filth banned.
I come here for the comments, I have read thru several articles and the Llpoh person is destroying the comments sections with his foul language. It is embarassing and disgusting, it destroys what is usually a really great website.
TorC – you will like it here.
Mygirl – You are losing credibility by posting under different aliases trying to make people think there is a landslide of opinion against Llpoh. I can see the IP addresses.
Well, there is a surprise. She is a lying sack of shit and cannot help herself. What she said about me was despicable and unprovoked. She might try honestly walking that shit back instead of doubling down on stupid. I would address her more personally but all I know about her is based on what she has done to me. And hence me repeating myself.
Weak response. Try harder, work on the tears, wring out some pathos, poor little hurt fella. I don’t walk back what I didn’t do. Mommy, she was mean to me so I have to troll and call her cunt and twat and be nasty because she hurt my little feelings. Wah. You fucking little crybaby.
Dear heavens… I just popped on to see if anyone liked Mercola’s advice summed into a sound bite.
YIKES…
Am glad I’m off to take that wrecked Jeep to the auto body shop. Along with the 500 deductible from my son, the Jeep wrecker.
My next summary of a book will be Kissinger’s “World Order” so prepare yourselves accordingly with lots of shitballs.
One can also choose to rise above such situations. You do what you want, but from my position these posts of yours reduce the typically high quality dialogue found here.
I know you can.
I have noticed that many commenters post using different aliases….seems to fit a pattern and I’m availing myself of the opportunity. I’m also testing your patience and for that I apologize but I’m not going to let someone like Llpoh pretend he’s upset and then attack with out defending myself.
EL Coyote posts under many monikers. Uncola posts under aliases. Maggie is now M G. That doesn’t sound like many commenters.
mygorilla, I like you somewhat, I could help you negotiate a truce with the great man – LLPOH. If you prep a heartfelt sincere and moving apology, I will talk to Pushmataha, the Big Chief and see if he is amenable. You must walk back your slurs; calling him son and little boy and all those disrespectful terms so unbecoming a man of his stature, he is 7′ tall, almost as tall as his daddy and almost as vindictive. But you are in luck that he isn’t totally like his dad, there is an outside chance that he may accept your apology. I will try. Just post your apology and I will look it over and talk to Apuckshunnubbe.
Mystico, little yap dog, what you think of me is inconsequential, you hit and run, attacking like a little dog. Your relationship with the insecure and vulgar one is all too apparent. I don’t apologise for something I didn’t do. His attacks on me have gone beyond the pale. What he thinks of me is also inconsequential, when someone uses the filthy language like he does, insults and casts slurs for an imagined slight, that person is of low stature and morals and deserves no respect, much less an apology. Why don’t you craft an apology to me?
Oh, stature also refers to character, ability, respect and achievement, height has nothing to do with it in the context used.
Why don’t you craft an apology to me?
“Dear exalted and most honorable LLPOH, light of the Choctaw, I, mygirl, shame of the Texas hinterlands do humbly submit this apology for all the harm and emotional pain I have caused you. I am worthless, unworthy and overweight even. I am a sorry sight and a poor player in this arena of TBP. My comments are benighted and dull. They are disgusting as a new turd and stink just as much. I am ashamed of my behavior towards you and would be honored to hold your member while you relieve yourself at the urinal. Please give me the terms of penance that I may redeem myself in your eyes if my appearance is not too foul for you to look upon. I shall await your reply with ‘bated breath oh, most honorable and venerable sage of the Choctaw nation, beauteous to behold, profitable to hear, privilege to touch and so manly besides. Yours in gratitude for your forgiveness” – mygirl.
It’s a rough draft, you can touch it up a bit, mygirl.
Not bad, just substitute Mystico for Mygirl and send it on….BTW: to is towards something, like craft an apology from Potty Mouth to me….but then…you knew that…
Why would I need to apologize to LLPOH, did I call him names and compare him to Hitler? Your projecting, sister.
I guess it’s ok for him to call me names right? I forgot your man crush, sorry, send him love letters. Hero worship much? It’s you’re as in ‘you are’ and I’m gratefully not your sister.
Lololol!
Llpoh ain’t going anywhere. He’s an original TBP member and has contributed more to this site than you will ever know. Shit gets rough in the comment section. Only the strong survive.
I have just started on her ass. She compares me to war criminals and those that experimented on humans without provocation, says I would have defended them, and thinks it will not get ugly? Not here.
Yes, you are ‘punishing’ me by calling me foul and vulgar names, cluttering up the landscape with your cunt and twat bombs, you are supported in your filth by the administrator of this site.You hide behind his skirts, pretending to be aggrieved because I called you out for defending Monsanto, a vile and evil company.
You are a fraud. You feign your offense and protest entirely too much. I never called you Hitler, you made that assumption and ran with it. I think you are indeed unable to have a female challenge you, you terrorize just like your nazi counterparts terrorize. Intimidation? No, it is trolling, thread jacking and hanging your ass out.
Admin wears a skirt? Maybe it’s a kilt.
What part of “only the strong survive” do you not understand? Your cracking like an egg in hot water. It’s a shame. Clammy could fight back, Maggie could fight back, heck Iravani could fight back but you:
why don’t you go copulate yourself?
I have posted exactly what you said. You compared me to Nazi war criminals that experimented on humans and said I would have defended their actions. Included pictures of Hitler to highlight the point.
And it was unprovoked. I never defended Monsanto but did call out your lies. And you responded in the most vile way.
So now you get what you get, you dumb cunt.
You ARE a nazi, you act like a nazi, you twist truth and act all coy, you lie and you bring the tone of this website down to sewer level and you revel in playing in the shit you spew from your mouth.
What galled you was I called you out, called you a prissy little girl when you attacked Donkey and called him a communist. You can’t handle anyone calling you out, your ego is huge and you cannot accept that anyone would challenge you, you’re too used to having your ass kissed by the sycophants who have bought the lie of your intelligence.
You are one very sick MF who hides behind a reputation that you are rapidly destroying. You are nothing to regard with respect. You produce the shit that is flung with pride. That says all that needs saying, for a group to pride itself on playing with shit is not something to be associated with. Shit carries disease and you are a diseased mind.
You think Donkey was really offended? Ask him. You are too new to know anything about anything. It is not your place to defend anyone. You do not know the players, their history. Donkey (WIP) and I go way back – a long time.We are friends , at worst ever frenemies.
So go fuck yourself you clap riddled twat.
Does this look like a war criminal to you?
Robert (QSLV)
Well, I can understand and appreciate history and I can understand loyalty. He’s still an asshole, now how’s that for survival strength?
First true thing you have said.
You are still a cunt.
I called you an asshole and you agree that you are, priceless. You are also stupid.
My – I am an asshole, a jerk, foul mouthed, and many other things. Stupid – no. And I sure as hell am not someone who would defend Nazi war criminals who experimented on humans, as you said. That is despicable. That is way beyond anything that is generally used around here unless it really gets ugly – and it was not. It was uncalled for in any way. As so you get what you get. Nothing I can say is as foul as what you put forth.
You lying stinking clap riddled cunt.
There are a lots of newbies around who don’t grasp the truth of the matter.
I do.
To this site or to your deep dirty pocket? Let us know!
How much? $5G? $10G? More?
What’s your price, poor Jimmy?
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
Your time is over, Jimmy.
Look! Finnegan’s found a way back on the page.
A – yup, you are new around here, I see.
I will just sit this one out. I’m investing most of my time reading books and not reading comments. I just wanted to share this one because I really think it has made a tremendous difference in my recovery. I don’t have a clue what the original fight was over and I don’t need to know.
Good day, mate.
When I read about the toxins in tap water – I stopped reading right there.
Why? Do you actually think that flourine is anything but the most oxidizing element on the periodic chart? That chlorine is good for the human body? Ask the soldiers in ww1 who choked to death on chlorine gas if it is good for us. Yeah so what if it is in a different “form” in the water. Flourine is too, but BOTH are toxic to LIFE.
Actually, the amount of toxins in most tap water – not just Flints – isn’t much of a matter for debate, other than, what is defined as “toxins”.
It is known that many municipalities water contains the following “toxins” that are proven to have adverse biological effects:
1.) Copper – if there is blue sediment-like corrosion on any fixtures in your abode, you are almost certainly seeing potential for copper toxicity
2.) Pharmaceuticals – if your water comes from a municipality and not a well, you have high potential to be ingesting micro-doses of any drugs that any one flushes
3.) Arsenic – In my city, there have been arsenic warnings for violation of EPA maximums multiple times in the last decade
4.) Lead – It’s there in any municipality and the only question is, “does it meet the max, or ‘action-level'”
Here is the list of EPA regulated that are found in every supply in some quantity – nitrates, for example, are almost always at the max level (or greater) if you live in the midwest or near any farming:
Aresenic, Barium, Flouride, Nickel, Nitrate, Sodium, Thallium, Copper, Lead and Radium.
There there are the “unregulated contaminants” that your city may or may not test for (mine stopped strontium after the final test AFTER fukushima – the amount difference from the test before fuku, compared to after was 5 times greater in amounts known to cause problems):
Sulfate, Chromium-6, Chromium, Molybdenum, Chlorate, Cobalt, PFOA, Strontium, Vanadium, 1,4-Dioxane, Dichlorethylene, and Tricholoroethylene.
There are also potential biological issues with the known impact of nano-bacteria, pleomorphic bacteria and other relatively recent findings, still in question.
Bottom Line: Use a Reverse Osmosis kit if you want clean water. Add UV and other extra filtration for better water.
It makes a huge difference and cost is now reasonable. Install is easy – do it yourself with a good kit for 150 bucks kit/install and about 30 minutes of time if you have any mechanical skills at all.
We used the Big Berkey when in Oklahoma because, well, sulfur and other stuff Oklahoma has in its well water. My son NEVER had flouride (I tossed the pills the doctor told me to give him.)
No cavities. Enamel perfect. Orthodontist got his braces on and off in 14 months.
All four teeth?
Haha… Yes, indeed. All Four.
And NOW, he’s a software engineer with a minor in computer engineering and an associates in computer technology from Junior College, which he attended in lieu of a wasted senior year in public school.
All four indeed, Grog. Have some more grog.
Could eat corn-on-the-cob through a chain link fence.
Keep drinking that tap water, Dutch.
Apparently, I missed something.
MyGirl, don’t let it get to you. I’ve been treated similarly.
Edit: Never mind, didn’t understand the circumstances. I’m staying out of it.
Another edit: This is Vixen Vic. My name has changed apparently and I’m appearing at “dR.” Don’t know what happened there. Will have to try to change it.
I prefer the audiobook version. Easier to listen while walking or driving. Available at our local public library.
I haven’t yet adjusted to audiobooks, but am working on it. It is a change in the way I process information… I blame the brain surgery.
It’s an easy out.
I’ve followed Mercola for years. His website is a treasure trove of medical information. Highly recommended.
I’d seen his name but not actually read his advice. Am glad I did.
You should definitely check out Mercola’s website, Maggie. I get the daily email from him. His website is mercola.com. One again, I’d like to thank you for this article.
He refers to the site in the book… I plan to mine that site for information for sure.
I enjoyed reading the short article, and am thinking about going to local library to check it out before buying it. But now, with all the comments…… Wow! I didn’t see that coming!
All I wanted to know is whether I should eat some sauerkraut or not.
Yes, you should eat sauerkraut. The naturally fermented kind, not the stuff packed in vinegar in the supermarket. It is quite simple to make.
Just don’t eat too much fermented food right off the bat if your body is not used to it. It may give you a temporary bout of the trots. Ask me how I know.
How do you know MC?? 🙂
My son was here during the time I started eating tiny bits of Miso to help my system recover. (The sweet salty taste is not unlike that of Vegemite, which my cousins from down under tried to tell me was “like” peanut butter. Not terrible, but NOT peanut butter.)
He took a big spoonful instead of a tiny taste. He got the trots and I told MC about it. That’s how she knows.
I had to send out for toilet paper. LOL… and you know how I am about toilet paper.
Hey? Is Vegemite fermented?
I think it is fermented!
https://whatscookingamerica.net/History/VegemiteHistory.htm
Actually, Bea, I came home with some fresh sauerkraut from a natural foods store. It was so good that I ate too much at once. I never will make that mistake again.
Am still hoping to see Stucky here, although I hope he just reads the book review and doesn’t wade through all the craziness here. You know what I mean… since I’m really you too.
Good advice, Mary Christine.
We enjoy the kraut with brats. Good brats, made by a local sausage maker. If you eat good brats and good fermented kraut (watch for the processed kind which has all the good stuff killed), you can even have a nice hunk of bread to go with it.
Definitely get it from a library. Even with all my notes, though… I decided to order the book. I already have the reflexology book, but added that link to tempt readers to buy both.
Definitely eat sauerkraut. It’s extremely healthy for you and a cancer fighter.
I do recommend making your own with natural sea salt, preferably Pink Himalayan sea salt because you never know for sure what you’re getting at stores.
I have a 50 lb block of sea salt purchased from the North Atlantic the year of Fukushima. Why fifty pounds? They didn’t have hundred pound blocks.
I ordered the Himalayan salt through Swanson’s years ago. I have several canisters.
HOLY MOLEY… it has doubled in price since I bought it.

Thanks, I’ll order the book.
Have been doing the intermittent fasting (min of 16 hour fast per day), and it has made a positive difference.
I did not realize the importance of fasting… I thought it faddish. I KNOW better now.
I don’t just THINK I know.
I know.
MG: As i stated before I got sideswiped, this post is absolutely essential knowledge. I’ve battled a digestive disease for over twenty years, I had exhausted all the meds and they were talking surgery. I made the decision to follow thru with what you are suggesting in this post. I have gotten the disease into remission through diet and lifestyle changes, I basically fired the docs except for one functional medicine guy. All the best for you in your recovery, this process, it takes awhile but it works.
Mygirl,
Gotta take the good and the bad when it comes to the 1A.
TBP is the best blog on the internet simply because of 1 thing…anything goes. I believe we would not enjoy the best minds interacting without the 1A. This blog supports it and will support it until it is deplatformed. In fact, I believe Jim has stated those exact words. I do not speak for Jim so if I am wrong I am happy to be corrected.
Donkey: Taking the good with the bad doesn’t mean rolling over for bullies,
I’m not asking you to roll over for anyone. In fact, I would never ask you or anyone here to do that. I’m just adding onto what Admin is saying and why he would actually defend LLPOH. I have defended you and most likely will continue to do so. Trolling can also be part of the gig.
Again, it is great to see you have not been run off.
Run off by the likes of Llpoh isn’t going to happen. He can troll and that’s about it. No, when I take off it will be because I have work to do and can’t spend time typing on a blog…. and no, trolling isn’t part of the gig, it’s someone with too much time on their hands and a very petty nature who got his tail twisted and is now hoping to get even…I imagine there are lots of people who would rather not read his vulgar bullshit, the down votes are a good indication of that.
What he reminds me of is a poisonous toad that hops up, drops a load and then lumbers off, muttering invectives. It is rather sad that someone has such an empty life that they find fulfillment in trolling.
I’m saying Trolling is part of the gig here on TBP because of Admins fervent defense of the 1A and, possibly, because LLPOH is one of the few big dogs left. He’s been around for 10+ years.
Why is everyone so afraid of a bully? Once again I see a group that acts like a clique, insiders and outsiders and secrets and special relationships and treatments. Shhh, don’t mess with so-and-so, he’s senior, he’s a big dog and we all bow to him because, why exactly? There is no reason to accept the unacceptable, nor to tolerate the intolerable. That has happened and it is starting to resemble something out of the Stepford Wives, everyone thinks and acts in lock step, it is like a clannish small town, can’t allow any strangers in, don’t want to upset the status quo. we’ve always acted like this, thus it is written and thus it shall forever be.
I don’t know of anyone who is “afraid” of LLPOH, we just know 1) how he lashes out 2) how Jim and other long timers feel about each other and 3) what it means to have been here since Admin started this “Thing of Ours”.
In 07/08 Admin was personally sending Ron Paul CDs to anyone who could figure out how to post a comment. Solid Dude that Admin.
Stick around Mygirl. You know how I know you will? You got moxy and that be sexy girl.
????
I’m not afraid of Loopey Mygirl, he has raked me over the coals to hell and back but we still manage to be friends. Extend the olive branch and if he is a douche, then fuk it. It’s worth a try.
I don’t want to tell her that one does not walk into someone’s “home space” and take a dump on someone’s friends.
It just ain’t right.
Those of use who have been around this place since Methuselah was still wetting the bed know good and well just WHO the real big dogs are and why.
I’m in that club, as well, Bea. He raked me over the coals for my Chabod essay. I survived. I pick my battles and I made my defense. If Llpoh still thinks I’m a liar, whatever. It’s his problem, not mine. I just let things go. It makes for a much happier life.
Llpoh is a good writer and I enjoy some of his comments. I don’t expect everyone to love me. Some people are going to hate me. That’s just part of life in the little area of the world known as The Burning Platform.
I told someone who said they hated my guts (worked for me!) that as long as she did her job I didn’t give a shit. And, unless another six billion people agreed with “her” I wasn’t going to give it a second thought.
Sometimes you just gotta wear the armor and fuggedabowdit.
There is nothing shameful about a little fear of the unknown. It helps temper the bravado of the young and foolish to have been “bitten” a time or two.
The Big Dogs are respected because they’ve withstood and dished out the abuse for years. It’s my understanding there were really intense shitfests before compared to now, so you and I actually have it easy. But I wasn’t here then. I picked that up from other comments through the years.
The Big Dogs hold their own and stay on. The newcomers, if they cannot take it, leave. If you can take it, you stay on and become a part of a great site.
Darn it. I’m still “dR.” This is Vixen Vix.
Thing is, VV… there is nothing wrong with using different monikers. Even when we “used” to dopple one another (Stucky started it, I’m sure) it was more joking than not.
And you are right… the shitfests were intense when someone was truly being an obstinate ass like that Finnegan dude who came to this site and THREATENED Admin with exposure.
And, the idiot did not really know who Admin was.
If TBP did not already have Moran in its lexicon then, it would have been invented for that guy.
I did spend some time in old articles years ago learning who the cast of characters is here. It was fascinating.
I still think TBP is unique in its composition and the network of loyalists to the cause of furthering the sharing of ideas, no matter how badly formed they are by some of the contributors, especially one very loathesome one.
It is like no other site.
Yes, but I like my name, Vixen Vixen. After all, the people on the site came up with it.
I can’t even get my own name right now. Oh, well.
Just parry and thrust…………
Not really so intimidating. Big business guy who took all his winnings and moved to Australia. He doesn’t have a dog in this hunt.
Robert (QSLV)
We all know that you are maggie, MG, MyGirl, EC Mistico. The endless list of names is mind numbing and the endless dribble is actually intended to chase well meaning people away from the blog. The (((communists))) found out that we were fermenting hatred so they sent their “b” team in to try and disrupt things. They can do it with demonetization or they can get you kicked off all of the service providers, or they can get all of their (((buddies))) to kill your advertising. In this case, they are flooding the blog with meaningless dribble and arguments. As long as trolls like EC/MG/MyGirl infect the space there is little room for informed discussion. These are the equivalent to the screaming blue haired harpies who attend the speaking engagements of the conservatives. Their job is not to make sense. It is purely to stop the discussion through meaningless screaming posts and name changing.
Sorry MG/MisticoEC/MyGirl/… your efforts do not seem to be all that successful. Perhaps you should report back to your handler in Tel Aviv and inform him of your failure. He will probably withdraw you funding but it is the honorable thing to do. If he stumbles on your failure by himself, admittedly not likely, he will be pissed and you will lose your funding for sure.
Just trying to help sweety.
Oh lookee… it is the most loathesome piece of shit to hit this platform and stick. I suggest fermented food for whomever this piece of crap came out of.
You are a loathesome blight on this website.
I do not reply to your worthless posts, for whatever reason Admin lets you crap on his blog. Why not avoid mine, you worthless piece of crap.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….HEHEHE…
Oh, and I do apologize for pointing out to everyone that mostly, your posts start with you telling everyone how very smart you are, i.e., sucking your own dick. I apologize for pointing out your athletic prowess. You loathesome POS.
Muhuahahahahaha. You never learn do you? You and your menagerie can prattle on for days having discussions with yourself. When Tel Aviv calls what are you going to tell them?
“Ready, aim, ….”
Rob, please, don’t start with the multiple personalities again, I’m not EC, Maggie, whatever and I’m not a communist subversive out to shut down the blog. Get a grip. Not everything is a conspiracy and not everyone is out to get you or anyone else. Quit trying to see something that isn’t there.
Whatever sweetie. I am just trying to help you out here. What way did you come in? kunuck kunuck kunuck.
Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck..
Mygirl… I tried to reply on the drive home with Mr. Grooch. Our signal is limited here while driving. Well, it is limited here most of the time. We like it that way.
Now, I wanted to clarify my comment that I thought I could teach you to bootstomp, since you have some real sass.
Lesson I
Do not, and I repeat, DO NOT, go for the biggest badass in the place down under.
I made that mistake longagofaraway with a guy named Billy (before I “got” the moniker business.) After he chewed my flat ass complete down to the bone, I realized bb/BB was not short for Billy AND I realized that bb/BB was not the complete idiot I’d assumed because of typos on his phone.
I also realized using terms like the Chicken Shit Tribe of Oklahoma was not a good idea on a platform populated by both Choctaw and Chickasha Indians, who put up with a hell of a lot from people who assumed they had no right to the land just because they didn’t have a flag.
So, I won’t tell you what you should or should not do… am not a mentor and am not a trainer of any sort any more. I just want to write a few posts and see if a few minds aren’t interested in what I have to say.
I still think you could bootstomp, but I suspect you will need new boots because those appear to be stained.
And, if Dutch doesn’t like deep well spring water like I have here, well, I think he should drink all the tap water he wants. And if others don’t like Mercola’s advice, don’t read it. I read it because a US Navy ship’s doctor of a longass time seconded the Veteran’s Administration Nutrition counselor’s advice to read it. Since my GOAL is to be completely medicine free from now on and that is going quite well, I suggest the 9 steps to those who are having digestion or insomnia issues.
The two health issues are quite correlated, if not causally related to one another.
(290 feet to hit cold spring water underneath that rock layer my home is built upon… how do you know your house is on solid rock? You ask a geologist. Then, you hire a guy with a bulldozer to dig down and show you since you want your safe room to be truly “safe.” If you are from Missouri, that is. And, I is.)
MG: I wasn’t aware I was going after anyone at the time….seems I did touch a nerve, but said nerve was pontificating and frankly, I’m not real sure anymore about the whole thing. I made the mistake of thinking I was dealing with an adult male. My bad. I also made the mistake of thinking I was dealing with a mature male, again my mistake.
I can’t bring myself to kowtow to someone because of seniority, if that gets me curb stomped, so be it. I’ve had a belly full of ‘you gotta respect because seniority’for most of my life, I respect intelligence, maturity and a person strong enough to be humble, seniority? Maybe.
I’m old enough to not have to put up with childishness and calling someone a cunt and twat because they weren’t respected is beyond the pale. The big dog is a spoiled child, everyone panders to him and turns a blind eye to his bullying. I can’t stand bullies and his charging after people because they don’t respect him is absurd and I’m not the only one he’s attacked, I just gave him his aggression back and he can’t handle that.
Thank you for your response, I’m trying and that can be taken many ways….
I’ve had a long day and I’ve decided that Stew the goat is about to become stew. I’m sick of asking my husband to replant fence posts the little tub of meat pushes down. He was banded and the testes dropped off but he’s still a male goat and needs killing.
Nick volunteered to shoot him in the head, but for some reason after this nasty food fight with the most loathesome person on this blog who thinks I’m you, you are me and we are both EC (who seems to have gone turtle)… well, I want to cut Stew’s throat and watch him bleed out. (That’s just me being gruesome… he will die as painlessly as possible to avoid stress hormones tainting the meat.)
I really do need to upload my turtle videos… I really took the fight to a big ugly snapping turtle one day, posted the video and my cousin replied* “What kind of drugs is that crazy turtle on?”
(The alligator snappers only pretend to pull their heads in… they follow you and will attack, which I managed to film in spite of having to jerk away. I don’t know if it is true they clamp down until it thunders but did NOT want to find out in spite of braving the beastie.)
*That is on my little hillbilly blog and no… I do not share the url or name here. My hillbillies think these folks are dangerous and have warned me not to invite any more herefor TEOTWAWKI, though the ones I’ve invited are indeed welcome. Just be sure to say Y’all and youins guys and don’t say NOTHING bad about corn or soybeans around here.
And I just got back from down the road where the other people live. They have chickens who smoke cigars and they sell them to goats just like you. Once the goats have been sold the goat boxes are then painted a lovely color of yellow and are put into the back of the Studebaker to be hauled to St Louis where they are sold to poor people. The poor people then use the yellow boxes to put their children in where they listen to old WWII musical numbers. My favorite is this one but you might like this other one. I could listen to these lovely musical numbers for hours. Which one do you like best?
Perhaps if I type enough some more musical numbers will float into the room so that I can ask if you like them. Do you like them? Here just outside of St Louis we all like Pocahontas. Not the one from MA mind you. That would be offensive. No we like the one in the Disney movie. Did you know that when that movie came out Disney produced a mall tour that traveled all over the US and Europe. Can you imagine it. A Disney extravaganza in our little mall. Of course, our mall only has four stores and three of them sell adult diapers but still we all enjoyed Pocahontas.
What do you think Stucky?
If you could learn to poke your own penis in your ass, it would be quite the hat trick since you continue to suck your own dick nonstop.
https://www.waltdisneymuseum.org/
Well, I guess the only conclusion that I can come to is that you are indeed a (((communist))) troll. Clearly you impune those whom you disagree with using slurs that you think are disgusting because you yourself do those things. You being a biological male naturally leap to the slur of self flagellation. You being a proud gay man who stuffs gerbils up his ass naturally assume that sucking your own dick would be a slur to others.
Most of us here are far too old to bend over that way. You, of course, would be unaware of that so you would immediately leap to such a slur thinking that it would be off putting. You are, of course, free to continue with the racial and homophobic slurs if you like as they have no affect on me at all. On the other hand, your (((fearless leader))) in Tel Aviv is likely to take a dim view of such foul language.
if that’s the real mg writing,the persona certainly is changing–
Think? I think you’re getting nuttier by the post. You wrote …
Now … I ain’t no farmer. I ain’t never raised no chickens. The only chicken I ever saw was wrapped in a cellophane package in a supermarket. But, dammit, I do know this …. chickens don’t smoke no fucken cigars!! (I mean, they don’t even have fingers to hold the damn things.)
I was getting worried about you, Stuckmeister! I almost sent the bead counting lunatics back into their prayer closet.
Oh, and if you are buddies with this loathesome blight on this website, I apologize for hating his guts.
Goat stew is birria (beery ah). I had only tasted it with a few beers. Years later, I found out what a stinky dish this is. I’ll take a rain check, Ma Gooey. In a weird auto-suggestion, I actually had a dream of seeing you on the beach, Maggietas jutting out towards the sea.
It doesn’t mean rolling over for bullies. It means either ignoring it or fighting back with the 1A. It’s up to you as to your argument.
Too bad you survived.
Is that eating all of your meals between 11am and 7pm? I’ve been thinking of trying that.
I shoot for finishing around 4 o’clock with a half-cup of good yogurt with herbal tea around 6ish. It really isn’t hard to get used to… the late night snacking was never a real issue, but I did tend to string out my meals for most of the day.
Of course, that was before I lost a whole person after surgery. Haha… maybe that was part of the problem.
Oh, and my nutrition counselor was a bit shocked at the number of surgeries I’ve had. I told her, straight-faced, that I guessed God really did not have very good aim after all. He seems to have missed me again and again and again.
Her eyes widened a bit, but when no lightning blasted me away, she laughed.
Jesus wept. He gets it too.

Do you get up just before noon? I assumed people would use the typical American meal window of 6am to 5pm and work out a meal schedule around that window.
I awaken around 4 a.m., if you are asking me. I like to read for a bit before first light, when duty calls.
If you are asking Mary Christine? I apologize for the mistaken reply.
However, while here, I might remind everyone there was a time when Doppling one another was actually funny and not mean-spirited like it has become of late.
Friendly fire practice I assume. I’m using real bullets for practice.
And, I killed another baby copperhead… this one beginning to get its coppers. I’ve got a picture but don’t feel like messing with the upload.
Not lazy. Just better things to do.
Maggie, I thought I would be reading comments about health and ended up in a combat zone. Who knew?
Well, all health begins and ends in the gut. So do sucker punches.
I do wish the discussion had focused on Mercola’s excellent advice, whether folks wanted to buy or read the book or not, but it was a bit like the “old days” to discover what had happened while I was away.
I just wish I’d added something about the moon landing in the title.
Do I get up before noon? Of course, silly. It’s a sort of mini-fast to wait a few hours before eating the first meal and going 16 in between. So that is the reason for squeezing your meals in between 11-7.
I borderline on the low blood sugar spectrum and get light headed and dizzy if I miss meals so I thought I might try this form. It’s supposed to be good for you to fast intermittently but it’s not for everybody.
I think the question was about the eating at 11. Dr. Mercola recommends NOT eating breakfast right away. I’ve been waiting until around 9ish to have a “first” meal. My husband wakes up hungry but he’s on board to try to beat the insomnia associated with restless leg syndrome (and yes… we know about magnesium, but he’s had RLS for his entire adult life. And, yes, the USAF will waive a sleep disorder for someone with my husband’s expertise to stay on flight status. They would waive death if they needed you to fly and fight.
Well if I was trying to do that I would fail tonight because we haven’t eaten yet. I used to get Mercola email updates years ago and never signed up again after I changed my email. I think he is a good resource but not the only resource. I think I better finish making dinner before it gets too late.
Are you just now making dinner? I insisted on getting some chicken while we were out. Oh, and I think I will be butchering a goat very soon. I hate him.
Lol! I don’t want to get on your bad side. Yeah we ate late tonight.
Grooch, what a great post.
Not only was it stocked with good tips, it referenced a great sourcebook, by a respected name in natural health practices.
Then you encouraged the Walmart link so Admin could benefit.
As I was reading, the research and informative message is classic Stuckyesque, before discovering it was your submittal. Brava, Madame Ozarks. Well done.
To our health…nazdrovja!
And, I might add that my nutrition specialist highly approves of the “occasional” fermented beverage to aid in digestion.
Thank you for your kind comment and your support during my illness.
LOLOLOL… gotta tell you that I jumped into your comment to check really fast… the Grooch is driving the wrecked Jeep to the autobody shop and I’m to follow.
That was ten minutes ago.
Am trying to figure out what started the fight over a review of a nutrition guide.
But, I’m sure this, as all things, will pass my friend.
All is well.
I told my husband I ended up behind a slow poke on curvy back roads. I did, but we have a bigass truck and I just make them move over.
Isn’t that amazing. I too told my husband that exact same thing. And after he made the goat get over so I could go around the bend we all came back to another house and had a lovely stew made from my own garden. There were purple dingle balls and black carrots along with some of that chicken. The cigar smoke imparts a lovely earthy taste.
Funny that. Friday night, I attended a millennial wedding that was within walking distance of where dirty blondes get fermented.
The outdoor ceremony was 50 yards from a body of water in the city of the same name.
Couple hints, for the curious…
The matrimony vows were occasionally overshadowed by a helicopter overhead. But it wasn’t the papprazzi filming my buddy’s kid’s wedding. They were filming live broadcast shots of Indy Car Racing on a small island in the middle of that body of water I mentioned.
Atwater Street is very close by.
That’s another hint /clue.
The wedding venue was outstanding and picturesque, besides totally safe.
For locals and recent transplants, the tarnished, old
reputation is just not very accurate anymore. It shines at times.
On the radio that Friday morning last, Paul W. Smith said a guy in town from Oz for the race was gushing about being in the area where Shinola watches and bikes are produced, saying how electric the vibe was there.
I’m not pitching it, for enticing visitors. Not for everybody.
I get that, and understand.
But, aside from outlier neighborhoods where thugs still roam, the downtown, Midtown, Greektown, and Corktown areas are jumpin’ these days. Lots to offer.
Do better research, naysayers.
Cheers.
The last one was good brew too, but I really have a thing for the Monk with horns.
Agreed. From a much cleaner and beautiful part of the State.
Petoskey in Summer and nearby Charlevoix are just gorgeous.
For adventurous types, book a week there at a B&B or two in summer, and go exploring.
Fly into Traverse City airport, take a rental car north up US 31 for about 2 hours.
If a tourism guide is studied, there’s beauty up there, and a spectacular sight seeing vacation venue just waiting.
Plenty to see and do.
The pair of us plan a trip to Alaska later this summer. We are taking a little piece of coonskin to visit the site of the Elmendorf crash, where many of our friends and comrades died shortly after the Murrah Building bombing in OKC. It was a very sad time … I’d volunteered at the VA to help sort and clear up files that were in boxes everywhere and Nick had volunteered downtown and then, when the AWACS plane in Alaska crashed, it was like no one noticed because when shit happens do you know what?
Life. Just. Goes. On.
BK Van Lear? You were an awesome dude and I hope your son knows that.
We also plan a trip to see an old AWACS pal who retired to Michigan and taught school until a couple years ago. He came here in his RV a couple times and now that we have an empty nest and are dancing in it… we are planning to enjoy retirement a bit and stop worrying about kids. The two footed kind, that is. The four footed kind are now at work clearing the poison ivy and honeysuckle from our woodlot. With the formerly crazy female Pyr guarding them. Turns out she was trainable after all.
Good to chat with you a bit. I hope to finish a summary of a wonderful pdf I received which parallels my recent research nicely. I think it would help me focus my own ideas to do the summary. So, I shall.
Honestly EC you need to get some professional help. Take a writing class or see if Jordon Peterson is taking on any new clients.
Thank you for your concern, Robby. I could use help but I’m too stubborn to let anybody touch my words. I submitted an article once. I faceplanted. I know it was bad. I got irritated once when Stucky criticized my syntax. As for getting help from Peterson, I don’t like him, he is too wordy. It’s like being back in philosophy class.
I like Peterson, but enough is enough.
A failed writer
Hollywood Rob heckles others
Talentless hack sobs
Don’t sob dog boy. Stucky loves you.
But but but…you post as maggie all the time. Surely you don’t consider those posts as faceplants? Come on man…you can do better.
you post as maggie all the time. – Hollywood Knob
It’s been a while since “Maggie” posted. You are behind the times.
We are in a comment stream on an article by maggie written by you posing as MG where almost all of the comments are from you as various other names. I can only hope that you are not so psychotic that you don’t remember what you are writing or who you are writing as.
This was a weird time here on TBP, weren’t it? I was out raking the pens and remembering the goats.
Oh, how I loathed that damn billy goat.
Maggie- THANK YEW for posting this info and book link. Most here are older and need to be aware of how they can improve their health BECAUSE, once it is gone it is very hard to get it back. You really must maintain your health to enjoy your golden years.
What a great Bea Attitude you have!
Dr. Mercola provides excellent advice, and I have been reading him and watching his Youtube offerings for years.
No doubt, we are what we eat and drink.
Add aerobics, weight-bearing exercise and healthful rest…viola: the magic formula.
So simple but it ain’t easy for many, many folks.
It isn’t easy to start, but is easy once you start realizing the results. I am recovering from a long, long debilitating condition of which I was almost completely unaware. And, in complete denial.
Breaking old bad habits is challenging, the programming is strong and much easier to allow entropy to take over rather than making some difficult and uncomfortable changes.
Almost dying is convincing.
yup
MG and MyGirl having a thoughtful conversation.
M G is mygirl who is actually EC in drag, got it. That’s a cute pic but your joke is getting stale. Get some new material. Damn, even Yokes knows he can’t keep grinding out the same message all the time.
And yet you keep grinding out the same message all the time. Is it working for you?
I’d take llpoh’s informed opinions and experiences over my girls any time. He has proven himself here more times than most.
Funny thing is if one says he is insulted by something someone posts how is it possible for the other person to refute it?
Stupid cunts!
I upvoted you, stupid faggot.
Fuck u too, whore
Well, little exchange above is what the website is devolving into. Insults and profanity rather than intelligent discourse.’ Flapping cunt lips’ Llpoh is leading the fray and we are supposed to look up to and admire him and this ‘discourse’ because seniority ? Sorry, this is becoming a losing prospect. I’m of the mind that I would rather leave than watch what was once great dissolve into a mosh pit of hate and profanity. Life is short and wasting it in a slug fest of vitriol and hatred is not only a waste of time but also soul deadening. I thought we were better, I hoped so, my bad.
I don’t know what happened with LLPOH but I gotta tell you that the man is smart and has a lot of experience that deserves at least a bit of recognition. I’m not saying you gotta kiss anyone’s ass here… hell, even I tossed the New Guinea Sambian tribe at him to taunt him about the bizarro sexual behaviors the Degenerate Classes sent to Australia by the British found upon arrival, but… trying to paint the man as a bully is not accurate. The man is smart, Mygirl. And, he’s a TBP Big Dog.
To some of us… that means something.
Don’t make a petulant mistake. Use a bit of discernment.
When every post I make has a rejoinder like ‘you still here you fucking cunt’ I have to question his intelligence. That is downright ugly, ditto telling me to stuff my kotex in my mouth. Now, you may find those kinds of comments acceptable, but I don’t. They are the remarks of a man who has gone round the bend with hate. He has become a poisonous toad. If you care to look, go peruse the comments and almost without exception Llpoh has tossed his poison after my comment. He’s gotten loads of down votes by people disgusted by his profanity and if someone has the temerity to tell him to quit he savages them.
He may be a big dog but his actions towards me are the actions of a small minded, petty little man-child, they are borderline insane, seriously. I’ve known people who were in the beginning stages of dementia and his remarks are very similar to what went on with them. I don’t need to sink into a sewer because some ‘big dog’ is mentally ill.
Mygirl…maybe
M G: thank you for posting this, it mirrors my own health issues and offers the guidance that I’ve followed to help heal myself without drugs. As to thanking a veteran, my 91 yo father gets all the thanks and love I can provide on a daily basis.
Cheers

Apologies work wonders. Take a look at how the great man apologized instantly to Donkey Nuts. It was inspiring to see two men with differences become instant friends. It’s heartwarming. One day, you too will love LLPOH like a brother. Or you can “hold your position.” That’s terrible advice, please re-read Patton’s sage advice. Join the LLPOH army and go forth and prosper. Or don’t. Just keep being stubborn.
——————————-
23Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.…
The ‘great man’ first insulted donkey and then after he had made his cut he apologized, rather like someone who insults you and then claims he was only kidding. . You keep acting like I should apologize… for what? Him calling me a cunt? Someone insults you and you apologize? Nuts to that…
My girl – you compared me to Hitler, Nazis, war criminals that experimented on humans complete with pics with no provocation. Had you called me a cunt or some such, this would not be happening.
Then you invented a range of characters to further show your ass, continue to lie about what you said, and generally are a lying sack if shit. Time and again.
You skanky whore.
You ARE a nazi….you petty pile of shit. You attempt to justify attacking me by weaseling out of the fact that you defended Monsanto and I called you on it. You don’t like being challenged do you? Coward.
Not fair pooh. She isn’t a skanky whore. She is a gay boy from SoCal.
MyGirl, all you are doing is showing a weakness, name calling. Now that he’s found that weakness, he will use it. Don’t be a snowflake over name calling. It’s only words.
What it says is that the ‘great man’ the ‘big dog’ is a fraud, how much do you pay admin so you can post your shit, you Nazi? I revealed the truth about you LLpoh, you are a Nazi and you would make Hitler proud with your actions. You defended Monsanto, you prick and now you’re trying to weasel out of that fact. Go suck some Roundup you murderous nazi bastard.
So far you have suggested that Admin is a venal skirt wearing Nazi sympathizer. You dismiss my efforts to help you recover lost ground. You disregard M G’s and Vixen’s good advice. You poor, sad, confused nymphet.
Are you calling me a Nazi or was that directed at LiLpoh?
You wish. What an asshole you are… You are that idiot that thinks I’m everyone aren’t you. Got your turtle head pulled in hiding from my little slicing knife?
Well, as much as I’ve enjoyed this FOOD fight over Dr. Mercola’s advice regarding nutrition, I miss the Stuckenheimer’s input. Especially since I’m hoping the MISO has reached him and has helped as much as it did me when I realized it was exactly the thing to restore a bit of balance to my gut flora.
“Especially since I’m hoping the MISO has reached him …”
MISO??? Seriously? Ummm, no, I have not received any MISO. So solly.
Great article/ book suggestion, Mag.
When a person starts checking into it, there’s a wealth of info about these things. It’s incredible how toxic the vast majority of our ‘food’ is, nowadays. And how voluntarily sedate most people’s lifestyles are.
Too bad about half the comment section got hijacked by a bunch of pathetic bullshit, no matter which side of the insult you’re standing on. Did your article no honor. And I LIKE a good shit-fest. Most of this stuff – not so much.
Agreed… I was rather surprised to return later in the day and discover the mess left behind.
I have to admit being rather proud of it, all in all.
Especially my exchange with the anonymous faggot who is a loathesome blight on this site, name or no name.
You know, a while back I made a joke about EC’s many psuedos, which pretty much everyone knew about, shit-festing amongst themselves. Not so long after that, ‘no name’ started in on the ‘everyone is one’ BS. In other words, he is swinging off of me. What a dubious honor. One I would like to see go away. Sure not funny and doesn’t make a point except to highlight the point between no-name’s ears.
Blessings, Darlin’, and goat stew with marjoram and ginger is quite tasty.
Marjoram? Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever used that. Thanks for the tip.
Especially good on mushrooms.
Maggie, I really appreciate your summary of this book. I have a few books by Dr. Mercola, but not this one. I think he gives excellent advise. I rely on my diet and natural remedies to keep myself healthy, so this will be a good book to purchase.
I also get the e-mails from the veterinarian associated with Dr. Mercola’s website. Dr. Karen Becker tries to use natural remedies as much as possible, though that’s not always possible. She gives good advice on pets.
By the way, this “dR” is Vixen Vic. Can’t edit this.
Any tips on natural remedies for dogs from good sources appreciated. Got the big guy with Hip Dysplasia issues. He gets laser treatments but that only helps his knees and for short periods.
I will look into Becker. I have those two ginormous puppies I’m also working on against their will. They don’t like having herbal oils and tinctures glopped onto them, but I’m just the woman who’ll rassle them to the ground and put the stinky crap on to keep the ticks away.
(A variety of mints and other herbs distilled into an oily, resiny mess. It does keep the ticks off. But, it does stink.)
And, again… I’m awake far earlier than I should be.
Damn.
Mygirl,
Whatever you do, DON’T LEAVE TBP. I’m 0-3 cheering for newbies to stick around. You’re my last hope to get 1 correct. You belong here…believe me. You’re going through a shitfest right now but I believe in you. Plus you add some spice to TBP.
No goie awayie.
Sugar and spice and everything nice…
Instead of the snails and tails.
WHOA… listen to what just came up on my playlist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuZyMx2NXZM
Hey MG…out of all the comments on the heels of your post, from those few who appreciated health tips, and maybe find Mercola interesting, and worthy of consideration…
Care to venture a guess as to which comment(s) (ers) might have triggered a well researched counter post / opinion rebuttal the next day?
I have my suspicions.
Poorly worded maggie/ec. Come on you can do better than this.
Do you wash it before you start sucking on it?
I think I know… but, I am being circumspect. You know me… the silent, enduring type. Rarely a peep.
Hey!
200…
Because, when I checked, 198 was just sitting there, asking me to add two.
I just wanted to return and let folks know I stand by this post. The advice is good. I’m sorry Stucky doesn’t like it that Dr. Mercola was successful, but hey…
Shit happens. It happens better when you follow Dr. Mercola’s advice.
