Sounds like you don't like COW - ME EITHER - never use anything from a cow - used to drink ORGANIC COW - BUT UGH - and I dislike SOY - TOO MUCH BAD INFO ABOUT SOY OUT THERE - but, for veggie lovers (or vegans) as said above - RICE POWDER is good - but alot of carbs - if you want PROTEIN-try NUTIVA HEMP POWDER - ALL VEGAN - 0 sugars, LOADS of PROTEIN AND THEY HAVE ONE WITH 37% PROTEIN AND 43% FIBER, etc.! I LOVE GOAT WHEY - has alot of amino acids a good deal of protein and less carbs - like 15 grams protein and 5 carbs - less than 2 sugars (sugar free). There's a couple out there - I use GOAT EVERYTHING - MILK, ICE CREAM, BUTTER, ETC. It's more easily digestible and just google to find the organic goat whey - it's another option....... BTW - MOST THINGS ARE CHEAPER AT THE HOMEPAGE WEBSITE - SO GO TO NUTIVA'S HOME PAGE - IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT IN YOUR HEALTH FOOD STORES! I've seen it almost doubled elsewhere - so after I google, then and find what I want, I go to the homepage of the product - so far they've always been cheaper! GOOD HEALTH TO ALL!

Try Nutiva Hemp Powder Drink - you can add anything to it - GOBS OF FIBER AND PROTEIN - 0 SWEETNER - Best Hemp Protein Powder (shake mix) I've Found. I drink it everyday. You can add fruits/veggies/juices, etc. to Nutiva or just use it as it was meant to - IF YOU NEED FIBER - THIS ONE'S EASY - IT'S A SUBSTITUE SNACK/MEAL and now Nutiva even has FLAVORS - find Nuvita's homepage since they've got the best price (and you can order over the net or most Health Stores have it) - it's the best mix I've found - especiall best tasting! It's also ORGANIC and they make sure NO HEXANE is used in the process. I use the original - but there's one out now with 37% PROTEIN and 43% FIBER, 0 NET CARBS, AND NO HEXANE USED - THAT'S A BIG DEAL. I've purchased from them for years - so depending on HOW MUCH FIBER you need/want - they've got it all - the newly flavored ones have less fiber/protein and more carbs - but there's something for everyone. They have awesome customer service and I've never had any troubles - I also use Hemp Oil for salads - and Hemp Nuts for snacking or toss on salads. And if you like the news about Acai, Noni, Pommegranite - I'd suggest you do a search for "organic xxxxxxxx" and buy them in a tub and you can add to the Nutiva. And I also LLOOOVEE ALMONDS. LOVE THICK SHAKES! APPLES AND CARROTS ARE GOOD WITH THIS TOO - TOSS IN ANYTHING! Hope this help !!!
BEST HEALTH TO YOU! |

Try NUTIVA HEMP PROTEIN POWDER FOR VEGANS OR VEGETARIANS - IT'S FROM ORGANIC HEMP - HIGH PROTEIN, NO SUGAR, LOW CARBS AND NOW THEY EVEN HAVE FLAVORED - AND ONES WITH MACA, ETC. AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE JUMPING ON THE ACAI - BUY THE POWDER AND DUMP INTO YOUR BREAKFAST DRINKS - CHEAPER THAN THE PILLS AND YOU CAN GET IT ORGANIC - IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SOMETHING IS - JUST USE A SEARCH - GOOGLE OR EVEN WIKIPEDIA.ORG IS GREAT FOR EXPLAINING WHAT EACH INGREDIENT IS! GOOD LUCK - BEEN USING FOR YEARS - HAVE TRIED MORE EXPENSIVE AND OTHER HEMP PROTEINS - BUT I THINK NUTIVA' THE BEST - FIND THEIR HOMEPAGE - IT'S THE CHEAPEST - OTHERWISE, YOU MAY PAY DOUBLE! |

Hi CoffeeLover! Just want to say that YOU ARE SO RIGHT! One of the signs of low thyroid is loosing the outer half of your eyebrow(s). That your doctor didn't pick up on that is that he/she doesn't know enough about hypothyroidism (unless you wore makeup and/or eyebrow pencil/brush. I never wear anything because if you do - and especially if you use a good brush and color, the doc won't even notice. But it is one of the basic symptoms - bet your outer eyebrows went first? BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IS "THEY GROW BACK"!!! Once you get on the correct dosage and get leveled out - THEY WILL GROW BACK. I just had a total hysterectomy (the old fashioned way - robots were booked and it hurt like heck), less than a year ago. Had lost my out left eyebrow and my eyebrows were thinning. Got on Armour and when I got to the correct dosage - the filled out and so did the rest of my brows! So don't worry - I have severely limited adrenal function (the adrenals are backup sex hormones along with adrenaline and they still came back! AND I wasn't on ANY THYROID MEDS prior to my hysterectomy! Not one Endo TREATED ME - they just kept testing and testing. Finally got my PCP to give my Synthroid (requewted Armour, she wouldn't give it to me). Synthroid did NOTHING! And I had almost every side effect you could have - made me feel worse! So I found a Holstic THYROID M.D. and she immediately put me on Armour and in about 4 months I noticed that my brows were fullter. That I didn't even have to use a brush and could go natural if I wanted to and I'm 50! So have no fears - they WILL RE-APPEAR! My very best to you and your health! |

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
