ALUMINUM!!! alu min Ium. aluminIum. rob Rob, here in 'Merica we have our own special way of screwing up the English language, no doubt about it;-) I know, I just thought I'd pick a fight. rob Tomato - as in Tom r to z - as in zed Sorry! won't pick a fight with me - maybe someone else though...............i got's other things t' worry about now! lol |

"Rachael Simpson" wrote in message ... "Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... snip Hi Janet, did your pharmacist get the E45 for you or did you get it elsewhere? I've searched and talked with my pharm. this AM, and he doesn't know if he can get it. I want to try the cream and shampoo that they have out, but i've only found it in the UK. can you tell me of any place online that i might could order it from that is US based? Also: I recieved an email from someone who said that i sounded like a know it all on all my post on the garden groups. (someone who has not posted anything on this subject!) They also said that i should quit posting when i didn't know "jack" (they used another 4-letter word) about what i was posting. Anyway, i ain't gonna let them "run" me out. however, if i did come off as a know-it-all to you. I am deeply sorry - i did not mean to sound like that. I was trying to shed a little more light on our situation, in case there was more that you or others could suggest. surely didn't mean no harm! i hope you haven't taken it that way! Always willing to learn more............ Rae |

We be 'Mericans. Sack and Pillage is our middle name. What 'chew got that we wants? Them pesky Canadians somehow got our water on their land but it is only a matter of time before we take it back, quicker than you can say,"Bob's your Uncle". You wouldn't have room for about 32,805,041 refugees, would you? Of course it would go quicker if'n we had a leader with some smarts. You may have heard about our present leader. He is about as sharp as a bowling ball. What you trying to say 'bout 'maters? Step up boy and stop mumbling. Tom r 2 z? Don't understand. Pie r squared. I think but, that don't rightly make much sense teither (or is it teether?). Now you getting me all confused. Anyway, let us know what you got and, when would be a good time to send the stealth bombers to pick it up. Uh, one question 'fore you go. When you catch a few zeds, doesn't it get a might noisy? - Bill Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |

"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "Rachael Simpson" contains these words: He still has the mattress from his crib - when i bought his crib I made sure it was one of those convertible types so we could save money in the long run there. the mattress a hypo-allergenic one with the vinyl covering. One of the irritants to eczema, is sweat, and getting too warm, especially at night. Vinyl and rubber near the skin promote sweat and skin heating. Make sure you have a good layer of cotton (not polyester) mattress padding between the vinyl and the pure cotton bottom sheet, to wick away any sweat. you know, i knew the part about the sweat - i mean I know how sweat makes it worse, it does on myself. But i hadn't thought about the vinyl matress and sweating from it - i do use a waterproof - hypo-allergenic mattress pad, but i don't use it always - will start doing that. i think it's all cotton: will have to check on that though. I wash his, mine, and my daughters clothes all in baby detergent. I figured that was as safe as it gets. Not always. One of my son's allergens, was the UK's biggest and most famous brand of baby products at the time, (Johnstons) which is still marketed as gentle and safe for the tenderest skin. "Baby" market products nearly all contain perfume :-( to make babies smell nice, and a range of petroleum-based emollients. I learned to avoid "baby" products like the plague. Never seen or heard of Filetti. http://www.filetti.co.uk/filetti/about.cfm thanks for the link - checking them out now (Don't use any biological washing agents, on his clothes, towels or bedding). An extra cold rinse cycle in the machine after the normal wash, can also help remove detergent traces. i use dye & perfume free detergent - hadn't thought or previously been told about the extra wash part. that makes a lot of sence - gonna start doing that also. might have to wait til after the drought though....well's starting to go dry! Also gonna try getting the E45. Don't remember hearing about that. It's the very neutral water- base-cream used by UK pharmacists to make up prescription ointments and salves. The cream itself is available over the counter without prescription in every UK chemist shop )pharmacy. You should be able to buy it from UK sources if not in the USA You have all my sympathy. I know exactly the feeling of a desperate mother of a sleepless, limb-thrashing child who is crying in pain and irritation.. I had a red raw baby from the age of 3 months. People used to look in his pram and recoil in horror. First task of the morning was to soak the sheets off the baby where the blood and serum had glued him to them in the night. But having said all that, I found the hard way, that the very simplest treatments produce far more comfort and relief than the many and complex prescribed ones we tried. you should have seen me while i was pregnant with wyatt - oh my god! i just wanted to hide in the closet and not let anyone see me. so bad on my scalp that my hair started falling out. haven't had many break-out with eczema myself since i gave birth to him. although i would rather have to have it all myself than see him suffer from it like he does. Another son's eczema (and behavioural outbursts) were triggered by artificial food additives, especially food colourants in the yellow/orange/red spectrum. I would strongly recommend a month's trial of eliminating those from the family's diet; it means cooking from scratch with raw ingredients, and a complete ban on all manufactured/convenience foods especially coloured and artificially flavoured drinks and sweets. no soda's at all - i only let him have all natural juices and milk - sometimes a bit of tea (decaff!). his only "junk-food" is potato chips. already watch out for red dye food products. for some reason he can climb walls after eating/drinking something with red food colouring in it! lol Thanks so much for the ideas - you don't know how much i appreciate it!

Rachael, chemicals are more soluble in hot water than cold. Hot water is best, warm is good, cold is better than nothing. Chemists rinse three times and count to twenty when the dripping starts and that's for glass, with cloth, spin dry and re-soak. Good Luck, Billy Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |

Racheal wool is a wonderful product for waterproofing but as Janet mentioned should never be in contact with the skin of sensitive people. It is wonderful though for warmth if wet and will act as a buffer between the vinyl mattress and the sheet. It's even better if it's felted (such as an old woollen blanket cut up to fit the mattress and then run thhrough a hto wash then cold rinse a few times). (Don't use any biological washing agents, on his clothes, towels or bedding).

Half a cup of vinegar (but a good quality naturally brewed one such as malt vineger) added to the rinse cycle also gets rid of detergent residues and shouldn't cause any allergy reaction. |

Aluminum doesn't migrate much but because it is a metal, it will dissolve in the presence of acid (citric, ascorbic, oxalic, ect.). Cooking instructions always tell you to do sauces with acids in them in enamel pans and pots because iron or aluminum can change the color and taste of the sauce. Does perspiration contain enough acid to dissolve and allow the skin to absorb aluminum from anti-perspirants? Maybe. http://www.aakp.org/aakp-library/Alu...tiperspirants/ I've been using a mineral salts stick for awhile, seems to work fine, at least the cat is not trying to cover me up. The other way not to get Alzheimer's is to not get old or, have circulatory problems like high blood pressure, high triglycerides or, high cholesterol. I'd like to add to that Bill. One segment of the population is nearly guaranteed to get Alzheimer's, some times rather early onset.....people with Down's syndrome. Doctor's and neurologists often start people with Down's syndrome on Aricept, sometimes at a young age. Namenda may be added as the disease progresses. A lot of it is hereditary but why push your luck. If you make too many bad bets, one is sure to come in. You sound like your young enough and, have time to make adjustment.

What was your gardening weather like this year, cold, hot, sunny,
overcast? Big storm is supposed to be hitting eastern Australia. Are you catching any of it? What do you do with your garden in the winter, cover crop, nothing? - Billy -Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |
