• I actually have measuring spoons that are for a smidgen, pinch, dash or tad. Ha ha! I thought they were cute which is why I bought them. I normally don’t use them though. The Tad is the largest one and the smidgen the smallest. The smidgen one is a …

• Usually when I get out of the shower, after doing my water rinse, I put my hair is a towel and than I usually let it air dry a bit and than use my comb on it. Sometimes I don’t comb it until it is dry if I am not going anywhere right away. You can c…

• Pam (and others) – Never brush your hair when it is wet! Only use a wide toothed comb. When wet, hair is in a more weakened state – as meaning, it can be stretched really easily and breaks more easily. When you use a brush, your hair is more likely …

• You didn’t mention where your hair seems to be breaking off (towards the ends or near the roots) either. That would help to know. Are you sure they are not new hairs growing in and your are just starting to notice them? Check out the ends of your ha…

• From what I understand, nutritional yeast is not a problem for those with candida. It is not the same sort of yeast that is causing the problem. So, you won’t be adding to your problems by eating it if you chose too.

• Dain5000- I haven’t really noticed the electricity cost – I guess I just don’t keep track. I am not the one paying the electric bill right now but I didn’t notice a difference before. I don’t use it very often right now. Yes, the wax paper works bea…

• MSM is organic sulfur. It is very useful for scars, nail and hair growth, arthritis and a number of other things. There are several thread on here about it. I would do a search and read up on it.

  in What helps heal scars Comment by queenfluff
• MSM. It is believed that the reason we form scars in the first place is a deficiency in MSM. I have been using MSM lotion on my acne scars for many months and they have greatly improved in appearance. Take it internally too (it is available in powde…

  in breast cancer Comment by queenfluff
• I was going to say the same as far as breast cancer goes – I believe it is not really hereditary, even though I have someone in my family that died from it. I honestly think it is due to a few other factors as others have suggested – my main one bei…

• MSM is VERY easily destroyed and because of our modern farming methods – there is not enough MSM in our food which leaves us with a deficiency. Even using the blender can destroy the MSM in your veggies. Humans were meant to forage for wild foods wh…

• 4000 mg is actually a average dosage – not high at all. You just have to keep taking it until your body gets used to it. My stomach was upset too when I first started taking it. It went away in about a week. Don’t increase until it doesn’t bother yo…
