The Green Vibrance does sound really cool! I also purchase Rainbow Light vitamins, but I order mine from Swanson Vitamins because they cost less online.

I have wheat grass powder that I add to my smoothies, but I did buy a manual juicer and a sprouting kit for wheat grass that I hope to get going soon. A friend of mine had amazing results with shrinking some tumors through wheat grass and a clean diet.

I also take feverfew for exercise induced headaches (and it works), b-12, chlorella, calcium and cordyceps. I also add bentonite clay to my smoothies. A few years ago I had a ****ty immune system. I had strep and shingles. In the past two years, I have had only one cold.

Connie-you are a lifter? I've been doing a majority of cardio with some light muscle workouts, but I'd love to get more into heavier weights.

I think the tart cherry works well for cramps. I also get mittleschmerz (ovulation pain), and the pain and bloating that goes with that...It also helps! It is my theory that the histamine reaction can lead to an inflammatory reaction--so I try to take the queceretine and tart cherry together. It also helps with sinus (allergy) isues!

As for working out, I switch it up every chance I get. During summer I will do at least one sprint triathlon--which means I will swim and ride quite a bit. LOVING the cycling right now--but with kids home for the summer, and all the flipping rain we've had it's been hard to find the time!

I do classes: R.I.P.P.E.D (resistance, Interval, power, plyo, Endurance, Diet), Zumba, cross training. I also lift weights. I have been lifting more since beginning of May and cannot believe how much it is shaping my body! I have great legs, defined arms, and my mid section is finally flattening out ( i have an umbilical hernia-small, combined with a 1-2 finger diastasis in the same area--which results in a protrusion of that section). I started with stronglift 5x5 program which is geared toward beginners, and just progressed from there. I am really enjoying it! I will probably hit it a lot harder in the winter when I can't play outside as much...

But I also have more time right now--as I have a project in development--and not working full time since I am "wait" mode for said project.

What is everyone else doing for workouts??

Connie, what is RO? As far as alkaline water, idk. My husband is really into it though and comes home with it frequently. I know having the right ph is optimal. I do squeeze lemon into carbonated water a lot and i think that has an effect. I also know one of my favorite very healthy good quality restaurants touts their alkaline water (where i first heard about it), so i'm sure it can't hurt. Last, interestingly, a friend's uncle has cancer and she told me his oncologist (along with regular treatment) 'prescribed' alkaline water during treatment. I wish i did know more about it.

Btw, it's soooooo nice to be able to talk openly here without being attacked!

@ Mslmesq: RO=Reverse Osmosis. I have this chart of alkalizing foods.....and have read that most diseases--especially cancer exist while the body is in an acidic state. There is something to be said about keeping a neutral to alkalized ph me thinks! I'll see if I can find the e-version of the chart again!

@Fitobsessed: glad you found us! I saw that knob dissing you on the main forum. Nothing worse than bitter know it alls who really don't know it all! So Welcome!!

I am new to clean eating. Definitely trying to move that way, but I cook for 5 other people, and we are all on a tight budget. I'm hoping to be able to slowly get all of us onto clean eating.
