This has been quite a journey for me that led me to AIP Paleo last week. It started almost two years ago with my youngest son's seizures and not wanting to heal him naturally when I came across that gluten can be the cause, I took the gluten out and they stopped (as well as his whole personality changing and he was able to…

My daughter Lumina is three months old. She has ds and recently had surgery to correct her three heart defects. I am ready to get back to mfp. I have eliminated gluten (our whole family has since a few of my children are effected dramatically by it), and dairy and soy for my Lumina so as to hopefully avoid (or at least…

I originally eliminated gluten for my son who was still breastfeeding (he started having silent seizures and I found that at least 33% of silent seizures can be linked to gluten so I took it out of his diet immediately and he hasn't had a seizure since). We never were tested for a sensitivity but now my whole family is…

When I found out I was pregnant the scale read 200.5 At 14 weeks (when I was sick with the flu) the scale read 183.5 Today, at 30 weeks the scale read 198 The first trimester was really tough and I lost 17 pounds due to nausea (no vomiting, just severe nausea) The past month is when I have gained 7 pounds or so and I want…

Thanks, This child actually will not drink milk, if he takes a sip of chocolate milk (he loves chocolate) he spits it out, so you may be onto something. After looking up how gluten affects the body, I am wondering if my other son may have issues with gluten too since his stools always float and he complains of bad stomach…

They have an oath they needed to take upon being hired. I do not know what that oath states but I am sure that these actions have violated that oath. When I worked for the US Senate, due to the office I worked in the only active form of citizenship I could participate in was voting. I was not allowed to express my opinions…

Actually, he said he came to fulfill the law (Matthew 5: 17). There is a huge difference in the two words

The reason most Christians worship on Sunday instead of Saturday (the Sabbath) is because Jesus's ressurrection was on a Sunday, the day heaven was opened for souls.

You know, I don't remember all the tests (my husband and I were at the psychologists office for hours taking the tests). And because it is to determine if one is of sound mind and has no inclinations toward troubling spots to start the process of ordination in the Catholic Church it doesn't surprise me that they used test…

I never supported the Patriot Act (though I couldn't voice it with my elected officials at teh time because I worked for the Senate in a non-partisan office) and I don't support ObamaCare for many reasons, including that it does NOT address costs. Having insurance means crap if the costs of services is rediculous (why is a…

This is great, thanks! Though they are missing that one should escalate in the name calling and stereotyping to really try to get one's point across, at least that's what I've been experiencing more lately, like they are going to try and escalate the language to beat me into submission of their view.

My husband and I actually had to take all the ones you mentioned plus Myers-Briggs before he would be consdered to enter aspirancy for the diaconate (in laymans terms, before he could start the process of being an ordained deacon in the Catholic Church). That was just part of the psychological background check we both had…

There is one thath you can use for ounces instead of a general deduction, so if you pump, I'd go that route

Born in Peoria, IL, raised in a Chucago suburb, now live about an hour and 15 minutes from Chicago and 2 hours from Peoria

I like him enough that I voted for him today! His life is a testament to the values he discusses on the campaign trail. As far as his economic policy, it's geared more toward promoting the family life, which, for our society, we desperately need. I hope he beats Romney (aka, Obama-lite)

Why not pump and dump and slowly wean your breasts offof producing? It's less painful that way too.

Wow, how little you know of Jesus and of conservatives. In regards to the topic at hand, the GOP has had support from those who are just economically conservative but socially liberal (Guliani, etc.) and the support from fiscal and social conservatives. There have been a few fiscal liberals and social conservatives who…

Here is a group who does work with your body. From what I am told, if there is not a doctor near you who uses NaPro technology to help a woman become regular with her cycles they will work with you over the phone, and they do work with irregular cycles. Good luck. I've been down your road before too.…

Why not have your doctor look into NaPro technology? You know, its better to get to the root of the problem and help the body function the way it should then putting a band-aid solution on the problem. It is not your fault that your doctor is lazy instead of trying to truly help you out completely.…

Then don't claim you are tolerant when you clearly aren't.

But I ask you this (and anyone with opposite views than those of faith), have you questioned why you are loyal to your beliefs? Have you questioned your beliefs in their totality? And last I check, the Catholic Church has not said anything negative about science in general, but has cautioned that science should contain…

Humanae Vitae was written by Pope Paul VI (it's a quick read and was inregards to life issues): http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/paul_vi/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_25071968_humanae-vitae_en.html Azdak, this was written in the same era you are referring to in regards to Cardinal Cushing (and as we know, the 60s is…

I believe that most, if not all, will choose God. That they will be saved by Jesus' death and resurrection, that they will choose Truth even though they did not know He who is Truth here on earth.

My parish is the same way, just as welcoming and active. However, I would venture that many assume that it is not based on how "traditional" we are (up until recently we even had the Tridintine mass celebrated at our parish). We have had plenty of fire and brimstone homilies if you want to call being held accountable for…

It's your day. We invited only the minors of our wedding party and our nieces and nephews. My cousin (who wasn't a part of the wedding party) showed up with his kids because his sitter fell through at the last minute. We were fine with it. On a side note I was invited to a wedding where my invite had included a "guest" and…

I'm sorry that you don't see the fullness and beauty of the faith you proclaim. Not to mention, the Church doesn't say everyone else is wrong, actually, the Church states clearly that other faiths do contain part of the Truth.

Well, if you research what the early Christ followers did and how they worshiped you'd find that it is the same as the Catholic mass, minus the actual "church" building. These are the same followers who knew Christ when he walked the earth. It requires research if you are truly seeking to know TRUTH.

Well, it is also about discernment. Discernment is to take what one believes (or is taught), and see if it is reinforced in Scripture. Yes, there are plenty of moments in Catholic history where there was corruption and leaders who, while at the time were viewed by many as valid, are not seen as valid according to the…

I thank God for the bad too, even the self-created bad. Not only that but I try to offer it up for souls (yes, including yours). Great good can come from suffering if one offers it up for others or in reperation for their own sins.

That's why I eat kiwi fruit ;)
