Eyes!!!
Any one who knows me will know that I posted about having something called 'blepharospasm' diagnosed and the normal treatment being Botox injections around the eyes to slow the muscle spasms down. Well this morning I had my first treatment and the differences is astronomical! I can read again, walk down

Liver Pain and Causes
I am curious to know if anyone does any liver detox. I have read that castor oil can help reduce liver inflammation. I am willing to have my mother try this to help with her liver pain .

Vitamin D3 - higher doses
Really interesting video on vitamin D3. Apparently, most of us are now deficient and we are not taking enough. Gives advice on safe higher doses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH1rB-Ya2UQ I'd also recommend the book, "The Miraculous Effects of High Doses of Vit D3 and K2..." By Jeff Bowles.
