Hi Shrimp...sucrose does not cause dental caries. Cavities are caused by bacteria, streptococcus mutans and others....please watch this video, it's kinda long but VERY thorough.

Wonder if that is from the lowering of stress hormones...certainly feels like a good thing, whatever it is. What sort of dose did you take? For me, even a tiny bit like 5mg seems to have good effect. I don't want to overdo it with the dose since I am only 28 years old and shouldn't need that much. Seems pretty safe, though!Pregnenolone always warmed me up too. Did you see the recent thread on what to eat with shrimp?
Oh Yes, I saw that and it made me smile.And I stopped by the thread to post a startled smiley ( ) hoping maybe someone would get a chuckle out of it haha.
A whole lot but I'm older (like old enough to be your mom!) so you know i just experimented until I found the dose it took for me to feel better. I'm glad the pregnenolone is helping you Shrimp. You really deserve some relief!What sort of dose did you take?
I did.hoping maybe someone would get a chuckle out of it haha.
She's a very nice woman, really, but doesn't exactly have a delicate touch.

The Super K seems to be doing good things for my teeth. No progress on the cavities but it has only been a few days. But my plaque has decreased significantly! However, my gums/teeth/jaw have felt weird, like tingly/throbbing at times. Not painful or anything, just...odd. Not sure what to make of it but figured it was worth noting. I also tested my saliva ph a few times and it seems to be slightly acidic, around 6.0-6.5. I get bad breath from post nasal drip and also some reflux, which come to think of it might actually be causing the post nasal drip problem. Gotta work on the reflux somehow. Been making sure to get some gelatin and hydrolzyed collagen.
Thank you, Blossom! It is nice to have something finally seem to make a positive shift in my body, as so many things have done nothing or made things worse. Taking the pregnenolone really feels like a step in the right direction right now.Oh Yes, I saw that and it made me smile.

I did.
Sure thing, Peata! Right now, I am considering giving Betaine HCl supplements another try.Let me know how you go about working on post nasal drip and reflux. I have a similar problem.
Fresh black currants are good, too:)I've been craving red/orange bell peppers and kiwis. I am eating red bell peppers just like I'd eat an apple haha. Perhaps I need vitamin C?
I can't say that I've ever seen fresh black currants in stores around here, though I think I've seen the jams or juice. I'll keep a lookout for them next time I go shopping, thanks!Fresh black currants are good, too:)
I don't see them in the stores here either (occasionally frozen). But they are the easiest fruit to grow, at least where I am.I can't say that I've ever seen fresh black currants in stores around here, though I think I've seen the jams or juice.

Unfortunately, I don't have a green thumb; I can barely keep the tiny lucky bamboo plant I have in my room happy haha. But if I find black currants frozen I'll be sure to give them a try; I love trying new foods!I don't see them in the stores here either (occasionally frozen).

(Peat tends not to favour the skins and seeds, I just mention them because they are high in vit-C and taste good.)
Lanolin smells lovely. :)It does have a "sheepy" smell to it which is actually pretty pleasant.
It really does!Lanolin smells lovely. :)
It really does!

So questionable allergy/cold seems to have developed into a full blown cold in the past few days. I have a mild fever of 99.6 today, scratchy/swollen throat, super irritating and nasty hacking cough when I breath in and constant post-nasal drip. I don't really take cough medicines but generic Mucinex seems to help some. I felt short of breath from the coughing and nauseous from the mucus this morning and ended up having a panic attack and taking ativan; my hr had shot up to 127 and i dont think that my anxiety was doing my body any favors when trying to heal. I tend to get super anxious when sick like this and it is frustrating. Hopefully this cold will clear up soon since I've had it for a few days. That was the first time I've had to take ativan in over a month and a half so that's pretty cool.
Thanks, Peata! I hope so, too, as I'm currently on night 7 with minimal sleep (like maybe 4 hours a night?!) and it's really getting to me. Going to drug myself with Benadryl tonight because I'm sure this lack of sleep is hindering things. Bronchitis sounds miserable; hope you've shaken that!sounds like what I had a couple weeks ago that turned into bronchitus. Hope you get better soon.
Could well be.I do have quite the sleep debt built up from last week and that is probably an issue, as well.
That seems likely.Just keep telling myself it is this killer cold virus and I'll return to the land of the living once it's gone...
Thank you, tara! :)Could well be.
That seems likely.
Hope you feel better soon.
