> Thank you so much for the information and help. I cannot express how much I appreciate it.
You're welcome. :) I know how hard it is to not feel like doing anything and besides I was interested for myself too. I have the book "Strong Women Stay Young" by Mirian Nelson, have read it and even bought the weights last summer, but have yet to get doing the strength training on a regular basis. I am feeling overwhelmed with the "things to do" in my life right now that were neglected or have been compounded by my poverty due to the years of depression, starting with "find a job", so I am not pressuring myself too much on the weight training issue just yet. But when I do, this info will come in handy!
This morning I took apple cider vinegar mixed with a little lemon juice and a few drops of stevia and it was not only tolerable to drink but I really felt good a short time afterwards. One thing it is supposed to do, besides alkalize the body, is lower the glycemic index effect of food (and hence blood sugar fluctuations) if you take it with or just before a meal.
> Hope things still work for you and keep us posted on what you have done to tweak the process. What amount of Mg are you taking now? Any other supplements together at the same time? Or do you take everything after eating?
I'm still taking 600/800 or 1,000 mg of magnesium each day. I am also following all of the other advice of George Eby's site, the boron, fish oil, no glutamates, etc. I'm not very systematic about my supplements as far as keeping track of exact amounts of what I take each day, but they are pretty much as I told you previously. One new thing is that I ran out of the enzymes I was taking and could feel the difference in how long food seemed to stay in my stomach, so I had to go buy some more of those.
Did you think any more about finding a doc to help you sort these things out? If I didn't already give this site to you, here is one http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/directory/ with both organizations and a page where you can put in your city. There is a clinic in my general area, that I have heard about before for it's natural approach, and I would go there if I had the bucks. It's difficult sorting all this out on one's own.
I hope you have better luck soon.
