• Hi RawJim, Is the Omega a centrifugal juicer? I ask because I own a champion and a breville and find them completely different. The Champion gives a denser, richer juice, and can’t be beat for making frozen banana ice cream. You do have to chop thin…

• I second the Breville Models. Don’t dismiss it because it uses centrifugal motion as opposesd to mastication. Its a great juicer and a good value.

• Wow Dain5000, That makes me sick. What is the matter with us? You know I got into law school 20 years ago but backed out at the last moment to go be a ski bum for a year and I don’t regret my decision on the whole. But recently I’ve had a hankering …

• Thanks Bluedolfin, Thats good info.! Can’t say I’m surprised. ;o( I actually just saw my gyn today and she said I’m definately going through an early-ish menopause but she said as long as I am feeling good ( I am for the most part ) not to bother wi…

• Mopoke, Thanks so much for your ideas! I agree with you. Treating this time like detox regardless of the catalyst is valuable. I just need to stay with it until ‘it’ is no longer here. I love the psyllium/coconut oil tip. I think I may sub chia seed…

• AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I have completely lost my mind. You know the old joke ’ People make plans and God just laughs. ?’ Well good grief. After blathering about my lack of menses for 11 months and my relative calmness about it all…...BAM! I got it 48 hour…

• Hi One, I forgot to say to you that you are right! I don’t miss my period at all! I thought I would feel sadness and loss but… Nope. I’m just fine without. It hasn’t changed a thing about my soul. ;O)

• Mopoke and bluedolfin, Thanks for all the info! I’ve decided to hold off on any natural hormones. I’ve worked incredibly hard these past two years to get off all meds. I feel better and beleive my body will figure it out if I support it in more whol…

• Hey Bluedolfin, Thanks for your input. I hear you about the ever fluctuating hormone levels and the effectinveness/value of adding even so called ‘safe’ hormones into my body. I know I’m not ready to go that route yet but I have felt so crummy of la…

• Lord am I grateful to hear all these voices. I’m 40 and fairly positive that I am in menopause. I have not had a period since feb. of last year and at 34 shortly after I had my third child I started with the heinous mood swings aka RAGE and soaking…

• What about Chia seeds??? They are pretty cheap and good for long term energy/nutrition. You could make up some gel/pudding keep in in the fridge and slurp up as needed. Not super exciting I know but didn’t the Mayans? live off chia seeds for ages? o…

• Stefunk, If you are still looking you might check out Breville Juicers. I own one of those and a Champion and while the Champion juices more ‘nutrients’ the Breville centifugal is much quicker and MUCH better with leafy greeens. Having made the mist…

• Hi Lucy, for what its worth ( and altho’ I think its muscle mass you are gaining) too much tahini may be the culprit. I eat much like you but when I get a hankering for tahini I gain weight immediately. Strangely this does not happen with other blen…

• I think there is a real range for detox. For me the worst was about 3 weeks. To speed things up and get through it I did skin brushing and dry infrared saunas which are wonderful if you can access one.My symptoms were always the worst in the AM, sha…
