Her doctor has said her metabolism is the equivalent to that of a sloth, and since those mammals, indigenous to the South American Rainforests, rarely ever move, it's a pretty worrying statement. The sloth spends most of its life...

I was physically, mentally and emotionally at my peak and firing on all cylinders. Since then, it's definitely gone down hill and I've lost plenty of brain cells and lean muscle. I haven't lost weight though as muscle has been replaced...

Good bacteria deal with all the bad stuff and keep the pathogenic strains under control. So how do you get it? You will find all manner of formulations o... Womens Interest Jean Shaw Mon, 27 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=217962&ca=Womens+Interest My brother and sister-in-law have just had some marvellous news. They are going to be grand parents, not once but twice. That means I'm going to be a great aunt - hopefully, literally! The pregnancies whilst welcome were unexpected. It has always been accepted by his parents my nephew would never be... Self Help Jean Shaw Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=217025&ca=Self+Help There are three things I hate doing - shopping, cooking and cleaning, which makes me somewhat different from my friends. Give them a credit card or a cookery book and they are in their element, but we all agree on the cleaning issue. It's so unrewarding. Today, however, cleaning took on a different...

It's one of these big fancy ones you find in a gym. My husband decided "we" needed one as he watched me struggle into my jeans. Anyway I bid for a second hand rowing machine on e-bay and was frustratingly out bid in the last 40 seconds. However, the women who... Computers and Technology Jean Shaw Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=157292&ca=Computers+and+Technology I spend several hours each day on my computer and have to admit I often feel really "weird". When I've explained my symptoms to various family members they've dismissed me as neurotic and humoured me when I wear my bio guard pendants around my neck to protect me from electro magnetic fields. If I us...

It is getting better though. Until he developed autism after his MMR vaccine my son would eat anything. He was a delight to feed. However, things changed and for years he literally lived on Hoola Hoops. They are sm...

Unless I "nag" them when we are out they will happily just purchase one from a shop somewhere and raise it to their mouths. Maybe they feel drinking from a straw or glass isn't macho or cool. At home they have no such...

Take red meat for instance. Does it cause cancer or is it good for us? Is alcohol bad or good in moderation and should you stop drinking if you're pregnant. How about tea and coff...
