  BM thanks. I was just curious to see how close of a family member would do this to you to compare to my situation.

  not deserving of a half star, march 5, 2016bythomas carrthis review is from: millions now living (kindle edition)slander of others religions is worse than trump.

  instead of being ignorant read the bible and get the answers.

  you are not worshiping people you should weork towards woirshiping god.

  Son that is an interesting question. I don't know but I won't be there. They can kiss my ass. I'll be sure to leave my ashtray on the front steps however as a reminder for them.

  Heil Trump. Sieg Heil.

  crowd looking like they're doing the heil hitler salute to trump when he asks for a pledge and swear their support while calling for broadening torture laws.

  trump asks backers to swear their support, vows to broaden torture laws.

  Sammieleee please refrain from common sense and reasoning. This thread is solely about mindlessly bashing the man known as Trump by using any ad hominem attacks the media uses to discredit him.

  there was/is a sister in my old hall who was a pharmaceutical sales rep and she was a huge proponent of anything in the drug industry.

  when someone had a headache, she was the first to say "take an asprin.

  Hurry! Balance is necessary! Thank you startrekangel for highlighting that!

  And to all of the negative commenters, I started this thread to discuss what ex JWs do for health now that they are free to practice what they will, not to barrage one another with cut throat reactions. I'm not selling anything here sweetheart.

  I appreciate the most helpful suggestion to celebrate with a fine champagne. My hubby has a fine Veuve clicquot hidden in the wine cellar. I'm wondering if he bought that for Thursday!

  I'm open to discussion and never closed minded. I'll take medication if I need them but that is a last resort. They have their place but not the way the industry pushes it like candy. Do you know the history of how lead got into gasoline?

  Organic foods sometimes yes can be a scam. But again, if you make such a broad statement that all organic food is a scam then I can't help you either. Do you know anything about Glyphosate? Never mind. Enjoy your bliss.

When someone had a headache, she was the first to say "take an asprin." Now my husband and I are what you might call old hippies. We live frugally, we live in a very eco-friendly home with optimal thermal efficiency (husband designed it) heat pumps, well water, solar. Our monthly energy bills are less that what most people pay for their cell phones, $60 on average. We believe in holistic treatments and for our age, have done very well. Neither of us have any health issues and when my husband went for his life insurance physical exam, the doctor was amazed he was in such good health and said he was one of the top 10 he has seen in his life. Ditto for me. We eat organic foods when we can, grow our own vegetables and stay away from chemical laced products. The sister I mentioned in the outset is constantly sick and taking all sorts of medications at the age of 41.

  What do you think? Is it worth the extra money for organic food? Avoiding GMO and pesticide laden foods? Eating home instead of out?
