    Re: Health food shops in Jersey?

    Excellent info, exactly what I needed to know!
    The shop in St. Helier sounds like it will be the first one I'll try. I'll not need *too* much stuff, just a few basics to get me through the week....

    Re: Bone density and calcium post-menopause

    Harpy, I in no way attribute it to being vegan, if anything I'm more careful about food intake since becoming vegan and have always eaten plenty of tofu and broccoli, too!

    Re: Bone density and calcium post-menopause

    Re: Bone density and calcium post-menopause

    Re: Bone density and calcium post-menopause

    Thing is, I rarely had the need to visit the doctor at all! About every 10 years I'd see my Homoeopath and that was it.

    Re: Avoiding bronchitis

    Agreed, those ectopic beats can be very scary.
    At my worst I was getting about 20 or 30 per day!
