Interesting about the vertigo. I probably had something like that at one point but it kinda went away so I don't think about it. At the time I was having a lot of ear problems though too. I used to have constant ear and sinus problems. These appear to have disappeared. I'm not sure what to blame for that!
I agree with no3rdseat too, about traffic. The Internet does seem to bring out the worst in some people, and that quashes discussion. It's actually been studied ... how to keep polite discussions in this kind of a venue. It reminds me of the Victorian days when the ladies would have evenings of discussions in a "salon" ... it was the hostesses job to kick out any people being overly rude.
And yes, the fact is, there isn't much to say once something WORKS. You ever see discussion groups for "building a better spoon"? I mean, over the past 500 years or so people have decided how a spoon should look, and now no one talks about it.
In fact, I think one reason there is so much discussion about "vegan" and "low carb" and "raw food" is that basically they *don't* work at some level, and that makes them hard to stick to. So people spend a lot of time online trying to get motivation and figure out how to make it work.
In terms of online sharing ... there is no "spoon" for that. No one knows "what works". It's pretty clear to me that none of the current venues work very well. Forums are pretty close, but they lack some of the "social connection" and "image" features that are needed. Wikis tend to be taken over by a few people. Facebook is chaotic. eMail groups lack the ability to summarize history. It would be a great project for some PhD, grant, or Kickstarter.

Heather --As always, I love when you post, because you always have a million good ideas!I never drink tea without lemon--have been doing it all my life--and as we get into cooler weather, even here in South Carolina, hot tea becomes more and more a daily staple. I also find when I'm outside my window that drinking hot tea seems to do for me than just having water or another liquid; it's almost (not quite) like actually eating something.I have had issues with vertigo since 1996, and a friend gave me a great protocol to get rid of it. Ginger is helpful, but that's only part of it. I keep the following on hand all the time: grapeseed extract, gingko biloba, ginger root and vitamin B complex. When you have a vertigo issue, take ALL of them (I get them in capsule form from Whole Foods). It's not an instant fix, like taking aspirin for a headache, but over the course of a few days you'll notice the vertigo goes away. And none of that stuff can hurt you.I'm glad Marty started posting here. I've really missed this group. It's so much easier to read stuff here rather than going to FB, which IS a huge time waster, and I've tried to get away from it. But I do love the ideas and encouragement here.Maybe if enough of us keep posting, others will be drawn back here? I hope so. And Heather, could you please remind us again of the name of your blog? I loved reading it but don't have a bookmark (my mistake).Thanks!Susan
