I just had my mind expanded this morning by Laureen Hudson's hour long online session on how to use the internet to get a message out. Laureen's session “Creating an Online Presence," gave me a wealth of information in a short time and impressed me with how many people are out there who completely rely on the internet for their information. I needed that, and maybe you do, too. - Ina May Gaskin I just hung up the phone from doing the hour long session with
Laureen Hudson on “Creating an Online Presence”. Laureen’s know-how
and expertise were enough to wake up even the birth oldtimers like me and
Ina May to the many unused opportunities of the internet. Laureen’s
engaging and easygoing teaching style made even those scary (to me) terms
like “hypertext, streaming, wordpress, technorati, feedreader and trackback”
start to make sense. Her passion is to reach the generation of young
women who have not yet given birth BEFORE they fall into the black hole
of aggressive obstetrics. I came away from the class today with lots
of ways to improve my website and make it more modern, usable and interesting
for readers. This class will run again this coming Friday (August
22) and I heartily recommend it.
Cost: $35 per session Each session will be 60 minutes in length Creating An Online Presence

I just finished typing up all this info about candidia for another list and thought I would pass it on in the hopes that it could help your or someone you know.
The book that I am referring to for the information is called: The Yeast Connection Handbook ISBN# 0-933478-24-0 by William G. Crook, MD, recommends: "A sugar-free special diet and nonprescription antiyeast agents may help control yeast overgrowth if your health problems are mild and of short duration. Yet, if you're troubled by a moderate to severe yeast-related disorder, I strongly recommend a therapeutic trial of one or more of the prescription medications." He recommends Nystatin oral powder the most due to it's safety and effectiveness along with diet and other therapies to rebuild your health.
From the book: Everyone should get this book if their health problems are yeast connected . . . If you:
Men and children also develop yeast-related problems, especially
those who take many antibiotic drugs or steroids.
Common symptoms in Male adults:
Other complaints and illnesses in adults of both sexes that sometimes
may be yeast-related, include:
"I'm not saying that the common yeast, candida albicans, is *the*
cause of all of these problems. Yet, candida may be one of the causes-even
a major cause- of these and other health problems." This book also has
a yeast questionnaire, case studies, and a 10 step program to regain your
health. Info on diets, medications, other therapies that may help and even
sugar-free, yeast-free recipes. He also goes into each of the above
symptoms in greater depth with a separate chapter for women; men; young
children and infants; and older children and teens. Well, I gone this far...I
might as well tell you what the steps are:
