I’m excited! I just scored 15 pallets. And they were free! I found them on Craig’s List yesterday. I have to drive to North Hollywood to pick them up but I’m not working today and Alla will be here to take care of Kate so I’m going to use the day to do errands and [...]

We got back from Santa Barbara last Friday but then we were busy all weekend and have had very long days at work every day this week. So here’s an old photo — from last week in Santa Barbara — Kate at the zoo watching the penguins swim: Oops gotta run now — I have [...]

We upped her dose (per Dr. Campbell McBride’s instructions) last week from 2 capsules per day to [...]

It was full of dehydrated water kefir grains (sent by Claire, a WAPF member I met on the Yahoo Discussing NT mailing list — thanks, Claire!). I put the grains in some distilled water and BOOM they tripled in size within an hour [...]
