What do you recommend taking for the killing?
And does it differentiate the bad parasites from the beneficial ones (yes, they do exist)?

I’ve been taking acidophilus to replenish the beneficial bacteria in my system, which can be killed off by a cleanse of any kind and are very important. However, I’m fairly certain there are no beneficial parasites. A parasite by its very nature is a leach and benefits only itself. If you find a legitimate source that says otherwise, please let me know. Acidophilus can be picked up at any health food store, and is basically universally recommended by naturopaths to anyone doing a cleanse (or even having any digestive issues in general)
As for what I’ve been taking for the killing: cloves (meh) black walnut (ugh) and wormwood (beyond icky!) are the recommended herbs for wiping out nasties. I have been adding some powdered cinnamon to cut the taste a little, and putting it all in a shotglass with pomegranate juice and choking it down. Three times a day for seven days now (I’m halfway done). I’ve also been taking extra vitamin C, which is supposed to help with detox, and all my usual minerals and vitamins as well as some anti-inflammatory herbs to help with the aching. I just got up and can’t think of the name of those, but it’s probably best to do some of your own research on things like this.
And I'm not trying to live a totally nasty-free life, I'm trying to get rid of the nasties that have made my guts clench on a regular basis for the past year. My immune system can still take care of the other stuff; just got too overloaded to deal with these things. *ruffles Odds's hair*
And I could rant for days about how badly screwed up the Harry Potter movies were, and I've only seen the first two!
Hey look, it's a CK!

Oh yes, and I offer my vast emote collection to anyone who wants to yank a few: http://s63.photobucket.com/albums/h121/PhoenixRoseStar/Emotes/?start=a

Yes whitefall, I read a bit of the previous thread. Also, I wanted to give you hugs just for being your shiny self

Sorry to hear the club is dragging a bit.
Okay, I should go now. I promised I'd hang out with someone today and I got online so I could wake up my brain a little. Am I awake now? Guess we'll see.

I am exhausted. It's been a very long, long, long day. I just wanted to stop by to say "Hi" and "Bye."

mornin' everyone.

I've been here at work since 0400, but I think I have been in a bit of a daze (that kind of thing happens when you don't go to bed). I will be surfing the threads as I am able, and will at least (hopefully) get a goodbye message in before I leave for the weekend.

Hello everyone!

RIMG, why on Earth did you get to work at 4 AM?
Silly Rabbit.

Well, Boss is on vacation till the end of the month. I'm caught up from my day off last Friday, and the big weekend that followed.

I hadn't mentioned it, but Husband's two daughters flew in on the 18th to see their dad & grandfather, and meet Carson (and me). We had a great time, and I am settling into the Grandmavourneen role. Baby is due in August - and I will probably be in Florida in June for the baby shower.

Penguin, your Mr Burns is most excellent. I've been searching for a good Nr Burns gif from the show and they don't exist. Yours is promptly being filed away in my 'bucket account!

I've done the detox thing, too. Made me sick as a dog and really made me think about the foods I eat. ( I type that as my 3rd cup of coffee of the day sits beside me...)

Well, I'm off to the pub and see everyone there...

Because it means I get off at noon (which is oh so very close).

OH well maybe next week will be better. Spent the morning prep period frantically writing the huge legal document for the meeting only to have mom choose not to show up and instead dump suspended kid off illegally and dash to work. Causing me to have to locate kid, drag him to office, re-suspend, call mom and tell her he can't come back from a suspension unless parents show up for meeting. She claims she didn't know this ( which is odd seeing as this will be the 12th time he's been suspended in the last year and a half) and by this point the bell is ringing, my prep is over and I have to dash back and start teaching...argh!

Anyway, so what's everyone up to today? At least we're closing in on the weekend:)
