| Mind you, if I'm coming down with something I'll take around 8g of Vitamin C a day and still don't overdose (the sign you're overdosing is you'll get uhm... loose stools).

My adrenal glands need to restore themselves (they are worn out) being gluten free wont cause any further damage, but its overall restoration will require a reasonably lenghty duration. I read somewhere that ... |

| I haven't read The Secret but as a New Ager I do believe in the power of positive thought and that we are creating our realities through our thoughts, beliefs and emotions. Positive thinking can make you feel better. It cannot, however, make you have a fancy car and tons of money in the bank. Only ... |

| I always thought it was more that the underdiagnosis of female aspies was more down to how other people treated them to how they themselves behaved. Men who are different are given attention (even if it's ridicule), while women who are different are often ignored outright. Oh how I wish I had been ... |
