MORE Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals

Maybe you've heard that Black Friday deals are nothing but a come-on this year. There may be some fake deals out there--there always have been. But I saved about $115 on supplements, groceries, vegetable seeds, and...primer.

$42.78 at iHerb.com
over $10 at Vitacost
$4.70 on Burpee vegetable seeds
$45 on a free bottle of Ideal Immunity probiotics
$12.50 on a gallon of Kilz primer at Ace Hardware

I posted a link to my previous post at the Inner Circle, and some of the members added links to even more great deals. Thank you, members natural1 and saukriver!

ANOVA Sous vides are on sale for up to 60% off. I've never used a sous vide, but some people use them to make yogurt (among other things).

This one by Inkbird is 31% off on Ebay, and it's apparently quieter than the Anova.

A small Kitchen Aid food chopper is on sale for $45.

A larger Cuisinart food processor with slicing and shredding blades is on sale for $100 at Macy's and Amazon--the same price I paid for one 12 years ago, and it even comes with a second bowl now. Mine is still going.

Biotiquest (makers of Sugar Shift, Ideal Immunity, Heart Centered, Simple Slumber and Antibiotic Antidote probiotics) has a buy 2, get 1 free sale on all probiotics. Most of these contain B. subtilis DE111, the latest probiotic in the Dr. Davis arsenal. I ferment Ideal Immunity in shredded apples (combined with other ingredients).

Ulta Labs has 22% off all labs, and 50% off some labs including thyroid.

OmegaQuant, which tests the amount of EPA and DHA (omega-3) in your blood, is offering 20% off.

Dana Carpender's Podcast; Dr. Davis on YouTube; Labor Day Sales

Dana Carpender, who's written several recipe books and other works on low-carb, has a podcast and is still writing articles at carbsmart.com. She's a terrific writer and amateur researcher (otherwise known as reading , as Jimmy Dore jokes ). I use her book 500 Low-Carb Recipes all the time and I'm looking forward to hearing more from her. I've embedded her podcast on my blog (click on the three lines at the top right if you don't see it, or go to Spotify or other podcast source if you're getting this by email). Carbsmart.com doesn't seem to have a blog feed, so if you want to see the latest posts there, you can sign up for notifications at their site. Dr. Davis has been putting a lot more videos on YouTube, so I've added his channel to the lineup.

Carrageenan: A Sickening Thickener. Is it a Migraine Menace?

Let me tell you about my ride in an ambulance last night. I woke up at six o'clock from a nap with a mild headache. I ate dinner and took my vitamins, along with a couple of extra magnesium pills. Since magnesium helps my TMJ flare-ups, I thought it might help my headache. Then I went to see my mother. A few hours later, I had a severe headache, sinus pain and nausea. During a brief respite from the pain, I left for home, but less than a mile later, I got out of my car and threw up. A cop, Officer Fisher, pulled up behind me and asked if I was okay. He believed me when he said I hadn't been drinking, but he said I seemed lethargic and he wanted the paramedics to see me. (Later he mentioned that a man he'd recently stopped was having a stroke.) Thinking I had a migraine headache, the paramedics wanted to take me to the hospital. But since I knew that doctors don't know what causes migraine headaches, and I didn't know what effect their medicine would have on m...

Lousy Mood? It Could be the Food

Here's a funny AMV(1) on what it's like to be depressed, apathetic and overly sensitive. Note: explicit (but funny) lyrics in the video. Hearing this song brought a startling realization: I used to be emo, but with normal clothes. Sulking, sobbing and writing poetry were my hobbies. When I was a kid, my mother said that she wouldn't know what to do to punish me if I had done something wrong. And yet things got worse. Over a two-week period in 1996, my best friend moved away, I lost my job and broke up with my boyfriend. I lost my appetite and lived on a daily bagel, cream cheese and a Coke for the next few months. I had tried counseling, and didn't find it helpful; in fact, I found reviving painful memories was pointless. Not thinking about them, on the other hand, worked wonders. Later on, so did studying philosophy and learning to think through emotions instead of just riding through them. But what's blown away all the techniques is diet. Since I s...
