• I also have a terrible sweet tooth. i mean bad!!!!! And I love pudding, but don’t want to load it up with nuts, etc. My staple sweet treat right now is chia pudding. I just take 2 ripe peaches, or you can use mango/ banana, etc, and blend with a bit…

• now that I think of it…. i used to get these a lot when I had braces too! I think being strep free for so long, those holes in my tonsils have closed up quite a bit, so the food doesn’t get stuck back in there. I’ll bet sea salt gargles before bed h…

• i’ve had a low grade fever off and on for 4 months now. it is due to chronic urinary tract infections. seems to be getting better, but that could be one reason. Usually an infection somewhere in the body will give you that type of response

• yes it is possible. I am not too familiar with cactus, but if herbaceous plants get too much salt, they can start to decline. The salt levels keep building up in the soil, and can’t get washed away unless you irrigate the plant for about 10 minutes …
