    Diabetes

    Re: Diabetes Would be interesting to see how stable your sugars are on a paleo diet. My wife has become somewhat of an expert. We have been on it for about a year now. At some point I am going to have an NMR to compare what it was 3 years ago. It is a diet that is supposed to help inflammation.

    Re: Hate to be a tool.........but may have to sell AR! I purchased some silver when it was $7/oz. Should I feel bad selling it for $30/oz? You are allowing someone to purchase something that they otherwise would not be able to. There simply is no supply. You should be rewarded for having the...
