Hi, I have a new outdoor cold water pond, and five fish have died in two days. :-( I just went & purchased a ph kit and it reads high alkaline (blue). What do you recommend we do? I’m really worried I’m going to wake up tomorrow morning to more dead little ones. I have a filter and air pump, with two ‘live’ aquarium plants.I have read various things about adding some sort of product to the water, but it appears this may not be the solution.
Do I change the water in the whole tank or do I do part change? Should I put the remaining fish into a fish ‘hospital’ with salt water and wait until I can balance the ph? Should I buy some distilled water and mix it with half tap water? Your best answers from experience would be great. Thanks in advance.

What are the pros & cons of being on either one? Right now I’m on a raw food diet & have now lost 8 lbs in 6 weeks. My friend is on a protein rich diet and has lost 20 lbs in two months.

I have a cat and two kittens, aside from the mother cat I’m fostering for the local shelter. My cat, Tigger, is a Maine Coon Cat that weighs 16 pounds. In some cases that can be a healthy weight for Maine Coons but she’s extreamly fat and none of the conventional diet food have worked for her, not even the vet recommended Medi-Cal. I’ve been doing research on BARF (Bones & Raw Food) diets thinking maybe that the lack of preservatives might do her some good. What do you think?

I’ve been hearing ALOT about various colon cleanse products. Some seem legit others..not so much. Butt ; ) the concept does seem to make alot of sense and is something I’d like to try.
I have a pretty sensible and healthy diet, drink lots of water, exercise butt can’t seem to lose these last few lbs around my stomach. I can honestly say I’ve never been one of those people who "go" everyday but lately I feel rather bloated (look it too) and uncomfortable.
Would something like Activia be just as good to help me "empty out" and possibly lose some of my bloated belly. But I also do really like the idea of ridding myself of toxins…so that’s why I thought a cleanse might be better. I’ve heard alot of good about Colonx by Dr Natura..but again is their one that can be bought @ an actual nutrition store?
**if you are a company trying to sell or promote your product please don’t even bother..looking for honest unbiased answers & feedback
Eli..did I not state I already DO have a sensible diet? Better than most as in I drink lots of water, try buying organic products, stay away from hormones or processed foods….you sound a BIT like a bogus poster as in I also stated no one pushing products. Some of thos eso called "free trials" get you sucked into an auto shipment that bill you upwards or or more per month. SO NOT what I’m looking for.
*** Good idea though abou the setting up on secondary gift/credit card ; )

**some of the product that I saw avail able @ the health &nutrition store (more naturual than say the GNC type) were:
Super Colon Cleanse by Health Plus
Super Cleanse by Natures Secret
Simple Cleanse by Enzmatic Therapy

I have ended m netflix membership because we weren’t really watching the movies. I switched grocery stores. I’ve been going to a big chain store since I was a kid. Now I only go there for meat. I go to the super discount place now and pay .45 cents for a can of corn instead of .85 cents for the brand name on sale! I make my own laundry detergent and other cleaning products (saves money & are ‘green’ too). We routinely have ‘poker night’ at my house w/family and friends instead of meeting out somewhere. Cook at home ALOT more-family dinners out only 1x a month now.I live in WI, so I garden seasonally. This year I made my garden bigger and added some herbs, plan on freezing a bunch. I condense ALL trips in the car, we all walk more and I started letting my kids take the city bus ‘cuz it’s cheaper than me carting them around….how ’bout you?

I have changed my diet & feel so much better. I went from a junk food diet for many years to a better diet to now eating small healthy meals throughout the day…Now I want more energy but no in a hyper way. I really want stable energy. I want to make commintment to do things that will require me to be mentally at my best. I want energy, clarity. Do you purposely do anything so you will be more alert? What is the best diet for someone ready to live their best life now?

I would like some serious answers on what to feed my 13 month old. She only has two teeth so she cannot really chew well yet. She also gags on third foods with meat. I think its a texture thing.
She likes cereal, and super soft green beans, carrots, apples & pears. She likes noodles but she doesn’t swallow them she just cannot seem to gum them well enought yet, I have tried peas but she cannot chew through the skins, I have tried giving her finely cut up chicken, pork, ground beef and she just does not seem to chew them well enough, she will still have the pieces in her mouth a half an hour later and I get very concerned about her chocking because of it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I really love the raw food diet, but I always feel so horribly bloated! Is there any way to remedy this?
The fist try I was raw for 2 weeks. This is my 1st week this time around! The raw food recipes are delicious!!! If I’m not constantly eating natural foods, I tend to eat tons of meat & junk food. It’s just very simple for me.

I have extremely hard alkaline water. Ph of 8, Kh & Gh of 300. I got a Brita system and that seemed to help. I mixed tap and filtered water 50/50. My ph is now down to about 7, Kh to about 120, which the scale says is ideal. The nitrates and nitrites are nil. Why is my Gh still so high? Nothing changed. What can I do to fix it?
Oh, and I have a 20 gal tank. Thanks.

so i am trying to eat healthier, & i think the raw food diet is right for me, but the thing is i still live with my parents [ im a teen ] & they dont support me at all.

The only thing i can eat [ that i kno of ] in this house is salad, pistachios [ maybe. . i have to check to see if they are roasted or anything like that ], tangerines, & bananas.

Does anyone have any easy to make raw food recipes or at least some food ideas next time we go to the grocery store?

If you haven’t heard of it, it is a diet where you only eat raw foods.
Duhh.But anyways;no processed,cooked,or anything like that.
You’re basically becoming an extreme vegetarian for months..or a life time!
I think its a really good diet,I’ve seen videos on Youtube with real people.A man lost 100 lbs in 5-6 months on this.

Another man/boy lost 18 lbs in 7 days.
I’m pretty skeptical about stuff like this, but I dont think they’re lying.
Basically my question is, if you’ve been on this diet,or if you haven’t, all I really want is your opinion.
Are these good recipes?

i keep hearing all these people saying that you should feed your dog raw food, like raw chicken, lamb, hamburger, eggs or ham. but im pretty sure that would do more harm to a dog than good. i have a 1 year old German shepherd & he LOVES meat to put it simply, and i was considering putting him on this diet if it was actually healthy for him.

so is it healthy? or will it kill him?
