I catch figures moving out of the side of my eyes. At some points when I'm tired or don't feel well, I can see them better or more infront of me? Telling a doctor isn't an option. Is this stress related, because it freaks me out. Sry that's the best way I can put it.
Med hx in a nutshell..I just had my fourth miscarriage and it was followed by two surgiers.
Home enviorment..live with my bf of 8yrs (love him and hes' great..not into marriage like myself) and we have a 7yr old.

Okay what do you all think? Stress right? I don't feel more stressed but maybe my makeup is different now

I had to have a tooth taken out a couple of months ago. The root had broken and the dentist informed me that he had to leave a little bit if root in or he would have to cut all my gum to get it out. The root had had root treatment so is dead. The only thing is i can now feel a little pointy sharp bit at the side of my gum. Is that the root and should i go back? or will it be ok

My knee will develop occasional pain and hotspots that seem to be appearing without a logical (no injury or overwork) reason. My left ankle will unexplicably swell and become very tight and sore again without a logical reason. I played basketball for many years and my knee has very little between the bones. The pain and hot spots are not constant. My left ankle is occasionally tender but not always painful. Can a cold settle into these joints and create these symtoms? I am fresh out of guesses.Thanks for any insight.

Maple Syrup Diet
Lose over a stone in just a fortnight! That’s the promise of the Maple Syrup Diet followed by pop star Beyonce. But is this diet really the best way to shift those excess pounds and will it work for everyone? WLR’s dietitian Juliette Kellow investigates...


Maple Syrup Diet


By WLR Dietitian
Juliette Kellow BSc RD



This month, the papers have been full of reports about a new diet made famous by pop star Beyonce Knowles.



The ex-Destiny’s Child singer spilled the beans on how she slimmed down and lost 1½ stone in just two weeks for her new movie, Dreamgirls, due for release next January. Beyonce’s diet apparently consisted of eating nothing for a fortnight, instead surviving on detox drinks consisting of a syrup mixed with lemon juice, water and cayenne pepper!



The syrup – Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup – is made from the sap of maple and palm trees. Also known as The Lemon Detox, the diet was introduced more than 30 years ago by naturopath Stanley Burroughs. Many of the claimed benefits include weight loss, cleansing the body of toxins, greater resistance to illness, improved concentration, increased energy, clearer skin and eyes, shinier hair and stronger nails.



The detox drink itself is made by mixing 2 tablespoons of the Natural Tree Syrup (which they say is 20ml) with 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, a pinch of cayenne pepper or ginger and half a pint of hot or cold water. It’s recommended you drink as much as you like, but ideally six to nine glasses daily.



There are also four detox plans to choose from:

The Full Detox – this involves surviving solely on the detox drink for 10 days, although it’s recommended that beginners follow it for just 5–7 days. It can also be extended for up to 14 days, but should only be done so with the consent of a health professional.

Relaxed Version – this involves substituting breakfast, dinner or both these meals with 2–3 glasses of the detox drink. But you should still avoid sweets, processed foods, red meat, fried food, white bread, dairy products, coffee and booze for the remaining meals.

The Once a Week version – as the name suggests, you skip food and have the detox drinks on one day each week.

The Master Plan – a hardcore plan that involves a twice-yearly multi-day detox combined with detoxing once a week!
WLR says:



Pop star Beyonce may have a figure that many of us envy, but it seems she believes in the ‘no pain, no gain’ mantra to get it that way. In fact, this is one of the most extreme diets ever and makes Carol Vorderman’s detox plans look like a positive food fest.



This diet is potentially dangerous. Effectively, it involves drinking nothing but sugared water for days on end. Of course you will lose weight, but that’s purely the result of limiting calories excessively.



A tablespoon (which they say is 10ml) of Natural Tree Syrup contains just 26 calories. That means if you have six drinks a day (each containing the recommended 2 tablespoons of syrup), your daily intake will be just 312 calories. Even nine drinks only provide 468 calories.



The effects of crash diet



This low calorie diet plan will leave you hungry, irritable and lacking in energy as your blood sugar levels go on a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. And chances are, the pounds will go straight back on as soon as you ditch the diet.



But it’s not just the extremely low calorie content that’s worrying. These drinks are devoid of protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and all the naturally occurring plant chemicals (Phytochemicals) we know help to keep us fit and healthy. After just a few days, it’s likely you’ll become constipated due to the complete lack of fibre in the diet. And if you follow this diet for any length of time, you could end up with low nutrient levels, including iron, calcium, zinc and vitamin C. Meanwhile, a combination of sugar and acid (from the lemon juice) is also a disaster for teeth and so may increase the risk of dental decay.



As for the idea that the body needs to detox, this is simply nonsense. Our bodies are cleverly designed to get rid of waste products and toxins – that’s one of the main functions of our liver and kidneys.



Worryingly though, these facts aren’t stopping people from buying this product. Even though it costs a massive £39.99 for a litre (enough for 5 to 7 days), the company that distribute Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup say they’ve gone from selling 500 tins a year to around 2,000 a month!



Crash Diet Versus Healthy Eating



Bottom line: this is a crash diet – and one of the worst! Put it to the back of your mind and concentrate on getting a bootylicious body by eating a healthy diet that will shift those pounds slowly – but keep them off for good.
