At the 1st sign of pink eye, a dab of pure raw organic honey clears it up- the antimicrobial function of the honey finds and destroys whatever virus is in ur eye...i've used this before on a couple of occasions when i wake up in the mornig and one of my eyes is a little pink..rather than wait for it to potentially become full-blown pinkeye, thi stop it in its tracks with the honey. Must be the REAL honey though, not the clover honey-in-a-bear kind, thats fake honey.

I live in Sweden and I got an epidural when both of my children was born. The first one probably saved me from a c-section. I got it after 7  hours of incredible pain that started immediately after the water broke. I tried several kinds of other painkillers, inkluding acupuncture, warm water, Thylenol and Laughing gas - neither worked at all. The contractions were so severe and came every minute - I had no rest. And they did no work - I did not open up one inch. I had told them I did not want any epidural - but efter 7 hours of this torture I could no longer speak and the epidural was given in consent with my husband.

It was pure heaven! I did have to stay in bed for half an hour after it was given - after that I could get up, walk around (got an EDA or "stand-up" epidural), go to the bathroom, drink a little water (previously I had thrown up everything), and the "normal" contractions started immediately and I started to open up. I could parttake in the delivery and I enjoyed most of it.

I did get two more complications. - Suddenly my temperature was rising and probably I had got an infection. I was given antibiotics to protect my baby and the temperature fell again. I had no problems pushing when my daughter was born - I got very strong urges to push. But at the very end her shoulder got stuck and my baby broke her collarbone and I tore an artery and started bleeding. I had to be rushed to surgery. If I had had my baby at home I probably would have died.

When my second child was born I had hurt my back previously and was given an epidural before the contractions started - and they broke the water after that and induced labour chemically as well. This was an alternative to a c-section and it only took a few hours before my second daugher was born. It was very painful in spite of the epidural - the pain came from my back and did not ease between contractions. But I am very happy I was allowed that second epidural - much better than a planned c-section! My baby was very lively and hungry just after delivery and we had just that lovely time together that I missed so sorely when my first daughter was born.

Do you recommend juicing for an 80 year old woman who has had stents.  If so, do you have receipes available for me. 

Increasing my consumption of omega 3's has greatly reduced my Blepharitus condition. I used to get regular eye infections and cysts under my eyelids, since cutting out all junk food and eating a lot more fish etc, my condition has nearly disappeared!
