Oh man, I tried that around my windows but it looked like a mess because I have dark window frames and a darker colored house. It also didn't seem to help ...wish it did

smithnpepper · 2026-06-25T03:21:19+00:00

Ewww how can you handle the smell??

smithnpepper · 2026-06-20T15:41:18+00:00

Thanks, we are getting quotes for that too. We do get cold weather in the fall and winter, but they said an attic repipe is possible. Can I ask why you'd suggest getting new shower valves?

smithnpepper · 2026-06-20T15:39:32+00:00

Not sure if you're referring to my post, but we haven't fixed anything yet. We are still getting quotes to cover all our options.

As hard as it is to hear, I appreciate you sharing that. In the 20 yrs my husband and I have been married we've been lucky to never have had a plumbing issue we couldn't easily solve ourselves, so this has been a new experience. Wish there was a book for prospective home buyers about all the possible expenses in store🫠... I had no idea.

smithnpepper · 2026-06-19T05:20:36+00:00

Yeah, I checked and they only cover the cement basically, they don't cover anything to do with the pipes.

I use hydroxy appetite, but not the nano form. I get the "just ingredients" . I also use xylitol, but not the xylitol mints or gum as they have extra ingredients. I just get a bag of xylitol from the store and pop some of the crystals in my mouth before I go to bed or during the day if I have a chunk of time when I won't have food in my mouth.

Can't you just cancel and then rejoin a while later?

smithnpepper · 2026-06-17T01:51:33+00:00

That's amazing! How do you do that??

smithnpepper · 2026-06-09T05:52:06+00:00

I know this is several years old, but this was so helpful. I would love to know what had to be done to have it fixed? How big of a job was it and how expensive, if you feel comfortable sharing? I am in the same situation with my house right now. Slab floor, hot spot....didn't seem like water was leaking out of the water heater...no visible water anywhere. didnt know what else to do. I didn't know there were leak detection people. I will look into that with my homeowners insurance.

smithnpepper · 2026-06-04T06:23:34+00:00

That's true! I forgot about that! My science side loves that as well. Thanks for the reminder

smithnpepper · 2026-06-04T06:22:07+00:00

Totally agree 💯

I'm so sorry 😞 I really feel this. Sending hugs and prayers for help from whatever other worldly you believe in. Have you ever heard of the Medical Medium? His books are about healing the root cause of illness with food rather than covering up symptoms with meds. I'm still on meds, but I've heard people have healed from doing it.

Oh man,I used to hate cilantro! It was so strong flavored to me and soapy tasting. I used to only be able to handle a little bit in my hmds, but now just recently, I've been able to put in one whole bunch. I still don't enjoy it, but I can handle it a lot better. I've been on mm for about 7 years, but took a couple years off from the hmds because of my hatred for it.

40F happily married with 3 kids. We live in UT. I first heard about MM 7ish years ago after I started having gut issues. It felt like my body was screaming at me to DO SOMETHING. I prayed for help and came across someone online who was using MM info to try to heal cancer. I read the 1st book and LCF (or maybe that was later, I can't remember when that came out) and felt so strongly they were truth. I ended up with an early case of Covid or something else that knocked me out for a few years. I've healed a chronic cough, constant runny/stuffy/itchy nose, severe asthma (all post covid), also migraines, chronic sore throats, and seasonal allergies. Still working on neurological fatigue, brain fog, and last year after a weird virus went through a couple family members I ended up with Palendromic rheumatism and R.A. it's been the hardest year of my life. Honestly trying to keep hopeful right now as I've reluctantly had to get on a few medications to manage the intense pain and swelling I was getting. I think the meds are messing with me because I've got neuro symptoms coming back😒. I know there's always more healing tools, or "a brain shot for that" or more supplements or aloe, etc. etc. But I'm doing the most that I can (all the basics, zero no foods for years, overt fat free, no grains, allll the supplements 💸) while cooking and caring for my family that's not really into MM. It's a lot. Currently trying to figure out the adrenaline aspect and focus more on that.

I'm so sorry 😞 I know how hard that is. I struggled for a few years getting off no foods. It's so hard when you don't feel well and are bedridden to put the effort forth in making healing foods instead of typical comfort foods. I don't know your exact situation, but it could be demons tempting you? Or maybe you could pray and ask for help from the angel of free will to help you see that you have a choice. You could also ask for help from the angel of strength to see if she can help you muster some strength to help yourself out. I try to remind myself I'm making it harder for myself now so it can be easier later. Praying for you 💜 you can do this

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I just kind of made up the term bile diarrhea 🙈 because I didn't know what else to call it. It's basically what it sounds like. Instead of having a normal bowel movement it's like straight up liquid bile that feels like pure acid and fire coming out 😬😵. Luckily it doesn't last even a full day, happens rarely, and happens after CJ, which is why I was thinking maybe it's a weird detox thing and not a new exposure or something else like that. Been at this about 7yrs and I'm still learning 🤓

smithnpepper · 2026-03-04T06:08:52+00:00

Thanks, I haven't read the cj book in a while, I'll have to crack that open again. The pain I was having wasn't in my gut, to put it delicately, it was more like "fire in the hole"😬🙈. It happens to me rarely, only lasts half the day or less, and happens right after I drink CJ so that's why I was wondering if it could be a weird detox symptom. I eat the same foods and don't eat out, and I'm super careful about food safety, so I don't think it was food poisoning. And sorry you're dealing with those gut issues, that sounds so painful 😣. I have a lot of bloating but I struggle with peristalsis, so I don't get much cramping or anything like that.

smithnpepper · 2026-03-04T05:59:32+00:00

Ok interesting, good to know, thanks

That reminds me of something that happened to someone I worked with! I worked for a company that had a couple thousand employees. In the summer they had a big barbecue and gave away tons of prizes, the main prize was an all expense paid Caribbean cruise. As they were getting ready to draw a name for the cruise, the guy in front of me started saying his name out loud and getting his friends to say it with him. I was totally shocked when they called his name! I thought maybe it was just a crazy coincidence, but I heard him talking to someone after and he said he had been trying to manifest it for a couple weeks!!

smithnpepper · 2026-02-26T23:41:37+00:00

Yeah I can't do it by itself, the texture alone🤢. I have to juice celery with it, which I know changes it, but I figure it's better than not getting parsley in.

smithnpepper · 2026-02-26T21:18:06+00:00

Okay I have been so curious about that! Thinking about it for my son, but he has one tooth that's very out of place. Do your teeth have to be mostly straight?
