what are the natural remedies to detoxify mercury/led from the body? Since DMSA pulls it out too fast and while you are on SSRI, its not a good feeling. Garlic is thought to speed up the natural detoxification process

Cilantro? Chlorella? Do they even work?
Also, which one would not interact with Celexa SSRI?

There is nothing in alternative medicine that will ‘detox’ mercury or lead. ‘Detox’ in this respect is a scam. You don’t have mercury or lead poisoning anyway. Garlic will have no ’speed up’ effect on liver or kidney function.

EDIT: I should have mentioned to beware of detox scams, the internet is abound with them. First they alarm you that you are full of accumulated ‘toxins’, they they will try to sell you some quack remedy with no proper science to support it. Stay skeptical.

From Wiki:
"Body cleansing and detoxification have been referred to as an elaborate hoax used by con artists to cure nonexistent illnesses. Most doctors contend that the ‘toxins’ in question do not even exist.[16][17] In response, alternative medicine proponents frequently cite heavy metals or pesticides as the source of toxification, however no evidence exists that detoxification approaches have a measurable effect on these or any other chemical levels. Medical experts state that body cleansing is unnecessary as the human body is naturally capable of maintaining itself, with several organs dedicated to cleansing the blood and gut."

If you had mercury or lead poisoning, you would be extremely sick.

@Janie – you don’t need to be an expert in alt med to identify scams and lack of evidence!

I love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy. Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention, we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals. We are confident in our principles and energetic about openly advancing them. We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation–the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people.

We conservatives are never stronger than when we are advancing our principles. And that’s the nature of our current debate over the nomination of Harriet Miers. Will she respect the Constitution? Will she be an originalist who will accept the limited role of the judiciary to interpret and uphold it, and leave the elected branches–we, the people–to set public policy? Given the extraordinary power the Supreme Court has seized from the representative parts of our government, this is no small matter. Roe v. Wade is a primary example of judicial activism. Regardless of one’s position on abortion, seven unelected and unaccountable justices simply did not have the constitutional authority to impose their pro-abortion views on the nation. The Constitution empowers the people, through their elected representatives in Congress or the state legislatures, to make this decision.

Abortion is only one of countless areas in which a mere nine lawyers in robes have imposed their personal policy preferences on the rest of us. The court has conferred due process rights on terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay and benefits on illegal immigrants. It has ruled that animated cyberspace child pornography is protected speech, but certain broadcast ads aired before elections are illegal; it has held that the Ten Commandments can’t be displayed in a public building, but they can be displayed outside a public building; and the court has invented rationales to skirt the Constitution, such as using foreign law to strike down juvenile death penalty statutes in over a dozen states.

For decades conservatives have considered judicial abuse a direct threat to our Constitution and our form of government. The framers didn’t create a judicial oligarchy. They created a representative republic. Our opposition to judicial activism runs deep. We’ve witnessed too many occasions where Republican presidents have nominated the wrong candidates to the court, and we want more assurances this time–some proof. The left, on the other hand, sees the courts as the only way to advance their big-government agenda. They can’t win national elections if they’re open about their agenda. So, they seek to impose their policies by judicial fiat. It’s time to call them on it. And that’s what many of us had hoped and expected when the president made his nomination.

Some liberal commentators mistakenly view the passionate debate among conservatives over the Miers nomination as a "crackup" on the right. They are giddy about "splits" in the conservative base of the GOP. They are predicting doom for the rest of the president’s term and gloom for Republican electoral chances in 2006. As usual, liberals don’t understand conservatives and never will.

The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no "crackup." It’s a crackdown. We conservatives are unified in our objectives. And we are organized to advance them. The purpose of the Miers debate is to ensure that we are doing the very best we can to move the nation in the right direction. And when all is said and done, we will be even stronger and more focused on our agenda and defeating those who obstruct it, just in time for 2006 and 2008. Lest anyone forget, for several years before the 1980 election, we had knockdown battles within the GOP. The result: Ronald Reagan won two massive landslides.

The real crackup has already occurred–on the left! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by 1960s retreads like Howard Dean; billionaire eccentrics like George Soros; and leftwing computer geeks like Moveon.org. It nominated John Kerry, a notorious Vietnam-era antiwar activist, as its presidential standard-bearer. Its major spokesmen are old extremists like Ted Kennedy and new propagandists like Michael Moore. Its great presidential hope is one of the most divisive figures in U.S. politics, Hillary Clinton. And its favorite son is an impeached, disbarred, held-in-contempt ex-president, Bill Clinton.

The Democratic Party today i

Well, a lot of people supported them in the late 19th century, and their reward was to be ripped off by the Robber Barons and their monopolistic trusts. In the "Roaring twenties," which ended with the Great Depression, they again got what they had coming for buying into the laissez-faire scam. Then in 1980, a bunch of clueless morons elected Ronhole Raygun, because they never bothered to stay awake in history class, and so we now have the fallout from that scam. The FINAL fallout, that is. There was plenty of intermediate fallout, like the S&L scam, the Enron scam, the Worldcom scam, the Tyco scam, the Halliburton scam, the Blackwater scam, and the subprime scam. Not to mention the October Surprise scam and the Iran-Contra scam.

I’m looking to start a home-based catering business in the future and am wanting to know the laws, rules and regulations for owning and running a catering business from home. I’ve been on a few state-run websites but maybe I’m overlooking one! Help!

Serious answers only please! Thanks!
Let me re-iterate my initial statement. It’s home-based but on the web. I WON’T have any customers showing up to my home. It’s catering;not a restaurant.

The laws are the same as for NON home based businesses.
You are running into some very strict laws for food preperation with a catering business that you should know about.
The fact that it is home based has no bearing on anything. There are no special laws for a home based business unless you have clients coming into your house a lot, which could run afoul of zoning or homeowners association laws.
EDIT: I understand that it is catering. You need to check the food prep and handling laws in your state, even if it is for catering. Some states are very strict and require all food that is sold to be prepared in certain types of kitchens.
I understand you will have a website. I understand there will be no clients coming to your home. You will need a business licence, which is issued by the state tax office, and requires you to collect sales tax. The fact that it is being run from your home, or on a website, does not trigger any additional laws.

My labrador has horrible allergies. She’s been to the vet several times and has been treated with everything from steriod and cortizone shots to antibiotics to shampoos and anti-itch creams and more. While the symptoms will go away after each treatment, they always come back and I hate to see her suffering from constant itching (not to mention all the treatments are getting ridiculously expensive and they don’t solve the problem long-term anyway). Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any homopathic/natural remedies? Thanks.

Grain free diet. If this scratching is all year round than he is allergic to his food. Up to 70% of dogs are allergic to corn, wheat, soy and/or barley. Go to your local natural pet food store and tell them you need a good grain free diet. Try to find wellness core reduced fat if you can as most grain free diets can cause a lab to gain weight (most food can cause a lab to gain). If the problem continues get some Azmira Aller’G. This is a natural supplement that will help his system to defend itself. If you smoke please do so outside as this can also cause these problems. If the problems continue after six weeks than add some salmon oil or flax-seed oil to her food. this will get her omega 3/6 balance out. Good luck!
