I titled my review as I did because several people commented that the chair they received is not the one shown in the photos.  I can confirm that I did receive the correct chair - Model# DK-EC9006-Black-FDW.  FDW is Factory Direct Wholesale - this company sold their chairs through Costco recently, and as of June 2019, they are sold at Sam's, so they are a known, trusted company.

First impressions - I ordered this chair on a Monday night, and I received it on Friday... much quicker than I expected.  The chair arrived as scheduled on a large truck.  I wasn't sure if the driver would only leave it at the curb, but he brought it into my garage.  Upon request, he transferred the box from the pallet onto a dolly I had ready, and he took the pallet with him.  The unit was packaged very well, with multiple layers of cardboard, wood, and dolphin skin wrap.  It was very easy to attach the foot part, and this was accomplished in less than five minutes.

This chair has been in use now for two weeks, and has run multiple times per day.  The rollers are very strong, and do run from the neck to glutes.  The foot rollers are also very strong, and the air bags work very well.  I had tried an Infinity chair (probably the most expensive chair on the market), and although this chair is not quite as good, it is also about 1/15th the cost.  As far as value goes, I don't think you can do better.  I did a lot of research, and this chair is the best value I found.  The only question at this point is durability... I hope it holds up for at least a few years.  I don't often leave product reviews, but I felt obligated to do so in order to counter the reviews that suggested you will receive a different chair.  I can't speak to those claims, but I can confirm that I did receive the correct chair and so far it is fantastic!


Well, there really isn't a cure yet, but Boost Plus helped my son go into (and stay in) remission from his Crohn's Disease.  In Europe, and many parts of the world, Crohn's isn't treated with drugs as much as in the USA.  Other countries prescribe "nutrition therapy," whereby solid foods are eliminated and a liquid sludge is mechanically pumped into the stomach via a nasal feeding tube.  The sludge has all of the nutrients required by a person, including proteins and vitamins, etc.  Unfortunately, the sludge is not palatable and many people report that they cannot stand the taste.

Hence, we tried a Boost Plus liquid regiment.  Our son drank 7 of these per day for a couple of months, and the drugs were all eventually eliminated.  We now continue the mostly-Boost diet, and only have added some safe foods for a rescue from the monotonous repetition of the liquid diet.  The Boost has led to an accelerated growth rate (getting close to normal), and has allowed for healing of the GI track due to being gentle on the system.  Our son also likes the taste better than alternative formulas (hence we buy these bulk Brikpaks).

We, of course, worked with our doctor and GI specialist, and have been on this plan for about six months now.  If you or a family member are suffering from Crohn's or a similar GI condition, this therapy should be a consideration, as it is easy and effective.

I am not a doctor, so please do not consider this to be medical advice.  I am simply a cautiously optimistic parent whose son is thankfully in remission from a nasty disease.  Good luck, and please feel free to comment on this with your own experiences with similar conditions and/or treatments.  RR

*** 2017 Update ***
After a year on the "mostly-Boost" regiment, our son did start to get some relapses of his Crohn's conditions (after trying to drop the percentage to 50% Boost).  We now administer a bi-weekly immuno-suppressant but we continue the partial Boost diet for helping to keep his growth maximized.  We are still happy we tried the all-Boost diet, but it became impractical after a while to keep him on an 80 to 100% diet.


In a wacky kind of way, after working with Schneider Labs I wish that I needed to do lead tests more often.  If all companies were run like and did customer support like Schneider labs, the world would be all that much more amazing.

These guys are awesome.  I bought this test thinking that it would just be an automated thing that I sent in and got the results for a few days later.  But when I read the instructions for conducting the test, which were incredibly clear and easy to understand, I saw that I needed to send all 10 samples in together.  I think the listing on Amazon says this, but I must have missed it.  My intention was to use 1/2 the samples at one time and 1/2 the samples at another time.  So I called their customer service and they were extremely friendly and willing to accommodate my request.  They also were more than happy to let me pay the difference in price between the 5 business day sample and 1 business day sample to speed up the test results.

Their website is really easy to use when you're gathering your test samples.  You just need to mark each sample with a unique name, then log on to the website and add that name along with the time tested and then ship your samples in a provided prepaid envelope along with a unique PIN that they prepare for you on the website.  The turnaround time for my 1 business day tests was less than 24 hours after they received the samples.

As for the testing, I'm not a chemist or inspector, but the results were fairly consistent with other facts that I happen to know about what's going on in the locations that I tested.

I cannot recommend these guys enough.  You won't regret buying this test kit.  The only thing I caution is that you should buy the kit for the number of samples you wish to collect as they prefer that you send them all in at once.  They also offer 5 sample kits and 1 sample kits I believe.


This supplement is utilizes a blend of ingredients that increase energy and increase alertness.

What’s in it:

Thiamin: Vitamin B1, thiamin, or thiamine, enables the body to use carbohydrates as energy. It is essential for glucose metabolism, and it plays a key role in nerve, muscle, and heart function.

Riboflavin: Vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin that is flushed out of the body daily. It helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy, and it allows oxygen to be used by the body.

Niacinamide: a form of vitamin B3, an essential nutrient that supports many cellular processes

It uses an enormous dose of B12 and B6.

B6: one of the B vitamins that benefits the central nervous system. It is involved in producing the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine, and in forming myelin.

B12: may benefit your body in impressive ways, such as by boosting your energy, improving your memory and helping prevent heart disease.

The proprietary blend contains about the amount of caffeine as the average cup of coffee.

Guarana Seed Extract is used for weight loss, to enhance athletic performance, as a stimulant, and to reduce mental and physical fatigue. It is a frequent addition to energy and weight loss products.

L-Tyrosine may improve mood and cognitive and physical performance.

Eleuthero Root Extract: Eleuthero is also commonly called Siberian ginseng.  Often used to boost energy, metabolism, and physical performance.

I found this supplement to be very effective. In my experience I would not recommend taking it within 10 hours of bedtime.  Based on the enormous dose of several of the B vitamins I wouldn’t recommend taking this supplement regularly but as an occasional supplement it definitely works.

I started to read the list of minerals: calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur, aluminum hydroxide..

What? Why would you include aluminum hydroxide in a mineral supplement mix? Aluminum was removed from most over-the-counter products years ago during the first Alzheimer's scare. But then, as I continued to read the list (in VERY small print, I might add), my hair began to stand on edge...

Antimony, Arsenic...

ARSENIC??? They added the neurotoxin arsenic to a mineral drink? Why?

At that point, I scanned the list for other neurotoxins. Sure enough, the list included cadmium, mercury and lead. And FLOURIDE, to boot. I was dumbfounded. Why on earth would a company purposely include the most horrible neurotoxins that we have been attempting to remove from our environments for years?

"Plant-derived" = From a MINE!

These so-called "plant-derived" minerals are apparently from the TJ Clark Mine in Utah. The reason they are called "plant-derived" is that the mine has ancient plant matter that did not undergo complete fossilization, and they use the soft, crumbly material from this mine for their products. It is sold by several companies, among them TJ Clark and Youngevity, and sold under several other company names, with the "plant-derived minerals" or "colloidal mineral" designation.

Here's the problem, and perhaps they are so clueless they don't realize it: during sedimentation - when plant matter begins to become rock - it absorbs and fixes minerals that are not necessarily good for you - among them, the heavy metal neurotoxins mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and lead, plus the Alzheimer's-promoting combination of aluminum and fluorides.

Please be careful when taking this supplement. There have been NO long term studies on the health effects of this product. You are all in fact human "Guinea Pigs."


I was tired of the mesh loofah balls that I have been using for years. My skin is more sensitive and I have a rare skin condition that causes me to feel uncomfortable very easy. I also have arthritis and neurological conditions that make it challenging to hold a regular wash cloth. So, I ordered a variety of products to see which one I prefer best. After trying different sponges and loofahs, I ordered more of these. Here’s why:
Pros…1. Even though it’s silicone, the long bristles allow the body wash to lather and it holds the soap as you move to different parts of your body. Note that I tried a different silicone loofah sponge with shorter bristles and it did not lather up the same. Since the long bristles hold the soap, I use less soap than I did with the mesh loofah balls.
2. The bristles are very soft on my skin and don’t irritate it at all. The flip side is good to use when I have an area of skin that needs a little more elbow grease to clean. It’s actually good to remove the remnants of barrier cream and other medications, dry skin, etc.
3. These are so easy to keep clean. After my shower, I just put them on the 3rd rack of my dishwasher. It has a sanitizer cycle. The bristles don’t get completely dry, so I just let them finish drying on the drying rack. With the mesh loofah balls, I had to put in a mesh bag after each use, wash with my laundry, and hang to dry. With these, I know they are completely clean.
Cons…1 They don’t have a loop to hang up on a hook or to hold on your hand. It would make it easier to hold on to if there was a strap on the back to hold it on. It would also be easier to hang dry if there was a string to hold it up. I have cute decorative soap dishes that I put it on to dry in the shower, so I make it work.


This stuff works wonders!

I went through a pretty rough patch in my life. I lost 2 dogs, 1 cat, and my best friend/roommate to cancer all within 2 years.

My doctor placed me on Welbutrin but that stuff made me completely insane! 1 day I was angry, 1 day I was completely miserable, 1 day I was unbearably tired. I also had a horrible headache when I was taking it. I felt like was a mindless zombie on Welbutrin. I decided to stop taking the Welbutrin before it settled into my system.

I figured I would try and go the more natural route after reading all the side effects of the other anti-depressant medications they have available. I first tried [[ASIN:B00014DT1W Kira St Johns Wort Tablets - 45 Tablets]]. These seemed to help, but it was very mild and not consistent in keeping my mood up.

Then...there was Nature Made Sam-E. I tried some of the store brand Sam-E's to try and keep costs down, however, none of the other brands even came close to working as good as Nature's Made. And if you shop around you can usually find a buy one get one free at Walgreens, Giant, CVS, or even Amazon!

This stuff helped me through the roughest time of my life. I've been using Sam-e well over 2 years now and if I even missed one dose I would immediately notice a huge change in my mood. I have been taking 1 400mg pill a day since I started. Once in a while I would take took 2 or 3 in a day.

I just started taking 1 pill every other day to give my body a break because I do not like to be dependent on any type of medication. But for those super hard times, this stuff really helped to get me through.

I highly recommend trying Sam-E. Especially before trying any prescription anti-depressants. It is a natural approach to overcoming depression, has low to no side effects at all (I never experienced any), and even if it does not help with improving your mental health, at least it is supporting your joints.  ;)

Hope this helps!


I have had an issue with stray cats coming on my back porch for months now. I have a camera set up so i can see any activity day or night,  it started with 1, i didn't mind it, it was cute and furry. i was actually going to start feeding it until i saw another one, then it turned into 3. i even posted on my Ring neighborhood feed asking if anyone were the owners because they literally came every single night regularly. i just had to set up a barricade to keep them off so i can come up with a plan to keep them away for good since they were spraying all over the place.

I did my research, didn't want to harm them and read that coffee grounds would deter them so i scattered those around, i ordered something called a scat mat, (they jumped right over that ) and i was getting the grounds from the neighbor, i was sick of everything i was doing, not working. I was obsessed with getting rid of these cats, every single night i would see them on my camera and get more determined to find something that would work!

Finally i ordered this. it seemed like a good value for the money, it had a guarantee on it (you can't beat that) I followed the directions.....sprayed the entire area where they could enter my porch, the banisters and the sidewalk leading up to the porch and the next morning i looked at the camera and we did not have 1 visitor that night.  for 1 week you have to spray each day, i probably over sprayed since i was sick of them so i ordered a lot more for future, but then after the first week, you only have to spray once a week or something like that.

The bottle is a good size, the nozzle is easy to use, comes out in stream or spray ( i love that feature ) super easy to use and i am 100 percent certain if you a similar issue as I do, you wont be disappointed.

This product actually does what it says it is going to do, i have not had 1 cat on my porch for 3 nights in a row!  Not many products do what they claim to do or have that guarantee. i love this stuff!!


This product uses CreaPure creatine as its raw material, a branded raw material manufactured by Degussa AG Trostberg (formerly SKW) in Germany and licensed as a pharmaceutical would be there. Optimum Nutrition is one of only a few brands in North America that use only CreaPure raw material, and like [[ASIN:B000GONXVI Universal Micronized Creatine Monohydrate, 1000-Gram Tub]] is an exceptionally good value for this expensive raw material in a supplement market dominated by cheap Chinese and other amateur manufacturers. I began looking into the question of creatine purity after having bought some creatine from a company that I generally consider to be quite reputable and from whom I often buy commodity-item supplements, and was disturbed by its very bitter and (surprisingly) soapy taste. The company insisted that the lot number was fine, but my subsequent research suggests it was not. The important issues are nicely laid out in two very good articles by Will Brink and readily available on the internet: "What's in your Creatine?" and "What's Really in Your Supplements? - An Update on Creatine". I proceeded to order some CreaPure-sourced creatine and was surprised that, for the very first time, the stuff had absolutely no bitter taste to it: the suspicious supplement had been the only one with the weird soapy taste, but *every* other creatine I had purchased had a mild bitterness to it, which I'd just assumed to be intrinsic to creatine itself, rather than a sign of impurity. Subsequently, I've bought several of the few products that use exclusively CreaPure, and found them to be similarly free of these widespread off-flavors. There is still no proof that the common creatine contaminants responsible for these flavors (dicyandiamide or dihydrotriazine) are harmful -- but why anyone (let alone a life extensionist!) would knowingly put high (relative to likely dietary intakes) levels of organoleptically-detectable impurities of unknown toxicity into hir body is beyond me, especially with a CreaPure product as inexpensive as this one available.


I had just jogged 1 block to work and something started to hurt in my knees. Im 52 and very active. I was a swimmer and biker but not too much a runner. My knee has had meniscus surgery recently and my Doc said the cartilage between the joints looked good. So, what the heck just happened? I was on crunches for a month because I could barely walk without my knees feeling like there was glass rolling around in there. My sister is a nurse, she suggested that I might be loosing my lube in my knees at my age. I read a few specs on the different types like this. I tried this. Within 3 days, I noticed a difference. Yes, it worked. after 2 weeks, I didn't need the crutches. after 2 months, I was taking long walks again. After 6 months I ventured to take a backpacking trip! After 1 year I had forgotten that I had any problems. Sometimes I stop taking them for a couple of weeks. I do start to notice that I start to get a few symptoms returning. But, I never want to go through that again. And, maybe I saved my knee from loosing cartilage. I have been taking 2  a day for a couple of years now. I went on a 3 day 46 mile hike and no pain. My knees were fine. Now, I don't have arthritis and I haven't had any knee injuries other that that surgery. I also knew that my cartilage was intact. It had to be that my lube wasn't what it used to be. That is the only thing I can figure that was happening. This defiantly does the trick for me. And, yes, I do believe that the joint shield berry extract they say helps protect from acids in the joint does work as fast as they say. I hear that other types take a couple of months to work. I haven't tried them though. I just used this so I can't compare. I am always on the look out for the 2 for 1 sales at CVS and Wallgreens. Wallmart has some too for a good price. I use the tripple strength because I don't want to take so many pills.


This little gadget first and foremost is very difficult to use.  Starting with charging.  It’s difficult to get the plug in.  Once it’s charged you can easily power it on and select one of three settings.  But to actually USE the product you have to keep your fingers on the metal edges.  I did finally discover that contrary to the instructions you can also keep them on the small V at the base…basically you just need to have two fingers on the metal to complete the current loop. (That alone worries me! I have another device that it’s similar and it doesn’t require sending a charge through my body.) Once your fingers are on the base you have to figure out how to move this across your face while keeping your fingers in constant contact.  It is thoroughly awkward! I also found it to be too wide to move along all the surfaces of my face.  It fit okay on my neck but was tough to lay against my face because the curve was greater than the area I was moving over.

The settings don’t make sense.  The first one “cleans”.  Sure, whatever…how does a different colored light clean?  The second setting is the one I was interested in.  The IPL setting.  Based on how junky it was I don’t think it’s anything more than a different colored light.  The third setting is suppose to be warm. It was barely perceptibly warm in a couple tiny spots.  Don’t expect the entire surface to warm up.  Again the similar product I have gets really warm is is super soothing.  This one you probably wouldn’t recognize as warm if you didn’t know that’s what it was set too.  And as for the sonic vibration is more of a clattering and rumble. Again does nothing but makes a bunch of weird noises.

Lastly the cover does not stay on at all. Not even a tiny bit.  It wasn’t even designed with a lip or groove or tab or anything to realistically expect it would stay attached to a smooth plastic surface.  Save your money and skip this item.


This is a great little high quality IFAK pouch.  Big enough for the things you need without being to big to mount in areas that will limit how you move or sit. Quality is on par with 5.11 or Maxpedition.

Materials and build quality

Stitching is consistent and well done. The zipper is high quality and the pulls are easy to us The hook and loop (velcro) used throughout is a good high quality and seems like it will last well even with hard use.

Layout and size

The IFAK has plenty of room for essentials. I was able to fit a combat gauze, OPA, small trauma shears, and a full booboo kit in the pack.  You would have a hard time fitting a large full size trauma compress in the pack with everything else, but it could be done.  I prefer a IFAK will a little room that I can get into ( like the booboo kit ) that forces me to inventory things regularly. They elastic layout on the inside is well thought out and provides good retention for large and small items.  You’ll need to experiment a little to get everything to fit how you want it. There is room under the external elastics at the hinge of the pack for a tourniquet but it's snug-  not a bad thing. One of my older style TQ’s also fit well in the retention strap that doubly secures the IFAK to the velcro backing.

Negatives

Really very minor stuff.  The IFAK out of the package is meant for a horizontal orientation out of the package, and there's no provision for mounting it vertically.  A couple of vertical MOLLE straps added to the back would be great for taking up less real estate on a belt or vest.

I don’t lose a lot of sleep about all my gear color matching, and the black is a great option, but adding a brown or gray seems like a great choice for future changes to this well thought out little pack.

Conclusion

Really impressed with this little pack. For someone that needs a IFAK that can carry a pretty good load, yet not get in the way this is a good option.


My wife has major knee issues.  I purchased this and installed per instructions.  If you're a handy man type, this will pose no problem for the installation.  The white color matched the white porcelain of the toilet.  The base of the Toto Drake is longer than Toilevator's 22.3 inch length and extends off the platform 1 inch in the back.  It doesn't effect stability.  I know it can hold just over 300 lbs. without structural failure, in the 2 months we have had it.

I purchased the item because there were no ADA or otherwise round toilets available 3.5" taller than the Drake and this Toto has been great operationally and for longevity of parts.  With the Toilevator's 3.5" lift, I kept my original toilet, and my wife's knees are much easier to extend when she stands up.  I was rather concerned about the weight, but it said 500 lbs. was the limit.  It has proved sound.  It has been easy to clean.  The toilet hasn't shifted or slid on the base.  The bolts extended higher than the top of the Toto toilet base.  I just purchased a deep cap rather than cut them.  All needed items are in the kit, except for the deeper bolt cap covers.  I also needed a new bowl gasket (seals the tank to the bowl) as I took off the tank to make handling much easier for me.

****
The only issue for me were the closet bolts that were supplied (These connect the toilet base and the Toilevator to the sewer flange at the floor).  The heads of the bolts were round, not flat, and appeared to be galvanized.  They should be stainless steel.  They would not fit under the flange.  I simply ground the head and sides down a bit till they fit, and applied plumbers grease to the threads to prevent the bolt and nut becoming rusted together.  Years of experience have taught me to think ahead.......


I've had this 2.5 months now. I wanted to wait to review until after a break-in period to make sure it would last.

I'm a big guy. Like super size big. I'm 6' 2" (not super tall), and close to 400 pounds (that's BIG). I have arthritis in both of my hips. I have a desk job. My weight combined with arthritis means I need a very comfortable, supportive, cushioned seat or I'm dying. After a couple of hours, my hip joints feel like somebody has taken a white-hot pick and hammered it into my joints.

I've had seat cushions in the past, and they do offer some comfort, but tend to (given my size) compress to paper thinness quickly. Although it's expensive, I decided to take a shot on the Ultimate Purple No-Pressure Seat Cushion. I am SO glad I did! It's like sitting on a cloud. The first time my rump rested on this cushion, I thought I'd ascended to heaven and was sitting on a purple throne of the Gods. I swear I heard angels singing.

I've been abusing this thing for 8-12 hours every week day the past 2.5 months, and it's still like sitting on a cloud. If you're tempted by the promise, but scared off by the price, I can only speak for myself when I say it has been worth every penny.

**Update 10/31/2019
This seat cushion is just amazing. I've been using it all day at work for the last 2.5 years and it is still like sitting on a cloud. Unfortunately my arthritis has progressed to the point that I am sometimes in a wheelchair, and this thing is a life saver there. I honestly could not sit in a chair for more than an hour or two without thing thing. With it, I'm good for the day. I've gotten so much more than my money's worth here!


My SIL has been telling me for over a year that I have to try the Konjac sponge.  Recently, the opportunity came up to purchase this one for a discounted price in exchange for an honest review and I jumped at the opportunity.  I had just gotten over being sick which had left my skin in terrible shape, sensitive and broken out, and I thought it would be a great chance to really see what the Konjac could do.  I used it exclusively, without additional cleansers, twice a day for one week and overall I'm happy with it.  The packaging says this sponge can be used on face and body but I only used it on my face.  I would get a second sponge to use on my body if I wanted to use it for both and I'm planning to do that.

PROS:
--It's super soft, gentle doesn't even begin to describe how soft this is on the skin.  It's even gentle enough to use on the sensitive skin right around the eyes.
--It's easy! The instructions are simple and you don't even need to use any additional cleansers (but you can use your favorite cleanser if you want to).
--It comes with a built-in hanging string so you can hang it up and allow it to dry well in between uses.
--It's the perfect size for face or body and fits well in your hand; not too big so that it's awkward and not too small so you can't get a good grip on it.
--It does not irritate sensitive skin. (Yes, I would know!)
--Is not drying.

CONS:
--By day 3 and 4, I felt like I needed a bit more exfoliation in typical areas such as around the chin and nose. (I usually use a linen cloth with a gentle cleanser and that does the job well).  I felt like the Konjac needed a bit more if it were going to the sole product for cleansing.

When the week was up, my face had really settled down and was much improved with a decrease in redness. Success! I'm going to keep it in the rotation with my other products but I won't continue using it exclusively.  My next step is to use it with my regular cleansing products and see how that goes.  I'll also continue to use it at times when my ultra-sensitive skin needs a break from products or medications.


Cymas Breathalyzer, Digital Breath Alcohol Tester with LCD Screen

There is nothing better after a long day that a few of your favorite alcoholic beverages. But if you decide to have those beverages outside of your home, you run the risk of getting a DUI. Everyones body processes alcohol differently and depending on what you've eaten or done, your body may process alcohol differently each day. That is why I think that it is wonderful to have a breathalyzer with you to provide a quick reminder of your level of intoxication. With this breathalyzer and an Uber account, there is no reason a DUI should even be a concern any more.

The breathalyzer comes in a handy drawstring pouch with an instruction book. The back panel opens to reveal 5 washable mouth pieces. I definitely recommend changing mouth pieces between each reading and washing them after each has been used. I flip them up in the holder after they have been used.  The breathalyzer takes 3 AAA batteries (not included). It is easy to use, just slip a mouth piece into the side, press and hold the button until it beeps, wait for the 15 second countdown, and then blow until it beeps again. It will then give you your BAC in either %BAC, %.BAC, or mg/L. Just press the button to change the reading. Caution is displayed when you are from .2 to .499% BAC and Danger is displayed and the beeping blasts when you are at .5% BAC or above. The beeping is one of the most annoying sounds in the world, but it gets its point across. It seems to be rather accurate when tested of various friends. Make sure not to eat or drink anything at least 20 minutes before testing for accurate results.

This would be great for checking your children when coming home from outside of the home.

I received this product at no cost to me in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. I am in no way affiliated with the seller, nor the product itself. All above expressed opinions are solely mine and true.


I bought a couple of these for my aunt - for $30 each - and put one under her fav armchair and another under her loveseat.  She's found them very helpful and so will you if this product is used with care.

First off, as it's held together with screws, which will, of course, loosen with repeated use, use metal "lock" washers when assembling it (you'll need 8, which have to be bought separately).  Second, as the tubing is quite thin (maybe an inch in diameter), it can only be used under an armchair, loveseat, or sofa that has a FLAT bottom (if the chair has legs that are over an inch high, you'll have to get a couple of 2x4's - or however high the bottom of the chair is off the ground - and cut some grooves into them to slide the Riser legs under and then slide the 2x4's and the Riser under the chair).  Third, as the Riser has two cross braces in the front, this product obviously cannot be used with a recliner.  And, lastly, since this product is made of hollow metal tubing, the vertical supports will likely "wobble" - if not get damaged i.e. bent - if used by someone over, say, 200 lbs who has weak legs and, therefore, has to mainly use their arms to egress from a chair.

BTW, for added assistance in getting in and out of chairs (esp for individuals who have weaker knees/legs), I recommend the UPEASY POWER SEAT or SEAT ASSIST the former of which I've paired with the Riser for added stability/security (and which MUST be used on top of a flat, level, relatively hard surface for it to work properly [I simply discarded the seat cushion from my aunt's chair, put a piece of plywood on the chair, put the Power Seat on top of the wood, and then covered the seat of the Power Seat, which is a bit on the hard side,  with a slip-on cushion for greater comfort]).


First, WOW!... the case could easily go by itself for the price they are charging for the entire set. VERY protective and perfect case, no joke.
  I went to Cosmetology School years ago, I haven't had a pair a shears like this since School.  I've been cutting hair for 25 years, just family & friends (although I did graduate Cosmetology & I'm a licensed Aesthetician.) I really only wanted to know how for when I had kids, I didn't want to work in the field. I've been cutting hair ever since.
  These hair cutting shears and thinning shears are better than the ones I received. The squared off edges are so much safer when cutting hair if children. I can't say how many times I've poked around the ear section.... The resistance knob is always great, every pair slowly loosens with every hair cut and eventually you have to tighten it up and this feature works great for that. My husband needed a hair cut anyway, and was thrilled to test out the new ones. That rubber is great, I have had that with my originals, they would tap together often, but not with these! Great idea! I love the length of the blades, gives me more control over the cut,not too long or too short. They felt natural and cut very smooth. The ONLY issue I had was the finger holes are a little on the small side, but didn't give me any real problems.
  Thinning shears always come in handy with someone with extremely thick hair, like one of my four boys and my husband's best friend. These are great.
  I was not expecting the quality and cannot understand why they are going for such a low price, when I need more this is where I'm coming.
  I was given the item at a discount in exchange to evaluate and give an honest &  unbiased review. This review is based on my thoughts and opinions, if the product wasn't worthy of a good review then I wouldn't give it one. I take this seriously because I rely on reviews for my purchases and hope to help others out in their decision. Any questions, just ask.


I've had a few resistance tubes and resistance band sets, and this is easily the best quality set.

There are five, color coded, bands. The purple is the lightest resistance and the green is the heaviest resistance. In between there is blue, yellow, and red. (I wonder about that ordering a bit, since it's not really intuitive. If you order colors on the spectrum you'd go: purple, blue, green, yellow, red instead of purple, blue, yellow, red and green ... the purple is obviously the thinnest band but the yellow, red and green look to be about as thick so the only way to be sure which is which is to either memorize the order or pull and go by feel.)

Each end of each band has a carabiner on it, that hooks into handles. There's also a velcro loop that you can run the tube through after you've attached it to a bar. There's even a door mount, that can slide underneath a door or hook at the top of a door if you are  on the side of the door that opens away from you.

I find the easiest, and simplest thing is just to hook the handles onto one (or more) of the bands and then place one of my feet at the center of the band. I also use these for basic back stretches. I keep one of the bands at my desk and try to get up every hour or so and just grab the tube at convenient points with both hands and then pull my arms out and back until they are straight, and then I try it at a cross angles, with one arm going up to the left and the other down and to the right, and then vice versa.

I like resistance tubes because I tend to do my workout at home, mostly using bodyweight. I can work my chest and legs and shoulders that way, but it's more difficult to do anything with the back unless you have some kind of resistance. These are enough to get a good back workout. I can strap them to the door and then do a rowing exercise, for example.

I like that the kit as a whole comes with a convenient carrying bag that easily stores all components.

(I received a complimentary or discounted sample of this product for my honest and unbiased feedback.)


This (or a device like this) is great for having around the house, or at a remote location like a cabin or summer trailer.  All it takes is water, a teaspoon of salt, and a 2A USB source (charger/adapter) to make a small bottle of bleach mix.  No need to bring a separate bottle, store it, worry about kids or animals getting into it, etc.  Make it and use it in one go, on the fly.

This particular unit does the electrolysis need to make the bleach without an issue.  The problem is in the nozzle for spraying.  It's designed to have a pressure system that allows you to squeeze the trigger multiple times and the unit sprays the bleachy water in a fine mist continuously.  Sounds great right?  Except the nozzle gets clogged within minutes, and a safety valve starts rediverting the stream back into the bottle.

Why would this happen? Because you're literally converting table salt into bleach in an imperfect system.  If even a small clump of sodium remains (which is highly likely) it can and will easily make its way to the nozzle and clog it.  And how do you unblock a pressurized system, filled with bleach water?  Carefully, wearing clothes you don't care about getting bleach on.

I bought this mainly to make bleach with.  I plan to 3D print a small cap for this, and simply use it to make the bleach I need, then pour it into a proper dollar store spray bottle and use it on demand.  While it would have been great to be able to use the sprayer directly from the bottle, it's not worth returning, given the price of the unit.  You could also use a pin to enlarge the hole, but then getting the aim right is kind of a pain.

If you're looking for one that works as a spray bottle as well, pick another design.  This one sucks.  If you just want it for making bleach cheaply? Grab it, and look for a cap for it over on thingiverse, where it will eventually be posted. :)


I have to say that the Bodybugg changed my life. After I had my daughter I was overweight for 3 years, just couldn't get the baby weight off. I worked at a gym and was exercising, but it just wasn't all coming together. The Bodybugg helped me so much! The basis of it is calories in versus calories out.

It's simple mathematics. Every pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. So either you have to eat that much less or work that much off. Some people can just decide to work out a little more and lose weight, but that wasn't working for me. For me the Bodybugg motivated me so much by being able to see the numbers. I decided I wanted to lose a pound a week, so I needed a 500 calorie per day deficit. If I worked out a lot and burned 3,000 calories a day I could eat a lot. If I was a couch potato and only burned 1,800 calories I was only able to eat 1,300 that day. Anyway, seeing it all in numbers and graphs helped  A LOT!

The Bodybugg isn't for someone looking for an easy way to lose weight. If you aren't committed to spending a lot of time on it, it probably won't work. In order to do it and be really successful you need to know almost exactly how many calories you are eating. That means weighing your food. It's a pain to do. I was weighing my chicken, pasta, fruit, veggies, cereal... everything basically. I packed all my lunches and snacks and logged them before I left my house. If I was out and got a snack I put the calories in my phone and logged it when I got home. It's time consuming and hard, but completely worth it. For about 6 months I did this religiously and lost 40 pounds. I am still down around my goal. Sometimes I put my Bodybugg on for a couple weeks if I need a little kick in the butt. I've recommended it to a few friends and unfortunately most of them didn't have the patience ortime to do the calorie counting necessary to be successful. I try to warn everyone how difficult it is and how you have to be prepared to weigh and count everything you eat, even condiments. If done right though, I think it's the best tool on the market.


Review of: Super Organics Red Reishi Mushroom Powder | Healthy Immunity - Organic, Vegan & Non-GMO, 4 Oz

I’m really pleased with this product … I’ve used it with three different meals and the ‘Super Organics – Red Reishi Mushroom Powder’ has enhanced the flavor of each dish.

My first use of the powder was in Turkey Sloppy Joes.  As you know, using turkey in any dish and you lose some flavor as opposed to using beef.  Adding the mushroom powder amped up the flavor and gave the mixture a deeper, almost beefier taste.

The next use of the powder was as a topping on baked Zucchini.  But a tiny amount of olive oil on top of sliced Zucchini … sprinkle on a little mushroom powder and a little Romano cheese powder on the top and then baked … so good.  Not only tasty but also healthy for you.  Just remember, when using as a vegetable topping to use it sparingly, you don’t want to overwhelm the taste of the Zucchini or overwhelm the taste of the cheese.

The third use of the powder was in Lentils.  Add a scope of mushroom powder to the Lentils (after they were cooked) and you can impart a ‘mushroomy’/almost beefy type flavor to the Lentils.  Cook the Lentils with some carrots, celery, onions and then add the mushroom powder … scope over some cooked rice and you have a full, delicious meal that even the most strident meat-eater will like.

I haven’t tried it in tea or a smoothie yet … but I am looking at making a stew fairly soon and I know that I’ll be adding this powder to the stew.  I’ll need to experiment with the amount of powder to use as a stew needs a heavier/meatier taste than the other meals I’ve made.  Oh … and know that I think of it, maybe adding some of this powder to some Zucchini bread would be good.  Hey, there are all kinds of options for this powder.

I can’t really comment to heavily on the ‘healthy immunity’ claims on the product page but as this product is organic, vegan, non-gmo and gluten free and doesn’t list any negative ingredients or additives then the product is probably as healthy as fresh mushrooms.

If you want a little extra flavor with your meals then this powder is something you should consider.


I have a stoma that has to stay covered at all times, which has been really difficult as I'm extremely allergic to adhesive, it literally eats through my skin! Also extremely sensitive to latex. For yrs the only bandaids I could use were the curad for sensitive skin, but needed the large 2x3 size which they so rudely discontinued over a yr or so ago, only the size I needed too, they still have the normal sizes, ugh! I had already tried every single adhesive bandage and medical tape I could find at every drugstore and medical supply place, even online,  my skin couldn't tolerate any of them and it was miserable,  my skin was so raw and itchy, they literally ate holes in my skin! Even the curad sensitive skin ones irritated my skin but were just a lot better then all the others. I thought I was just going to have to live with raw & blistered skin all around my stoma b/c it has to stay covered. Then I finally found these here on amazon, never seen them anywhere else, and even though the reviews were mediocre,  I had to try them,  I was so desperate!!!! And this was literally the very last brand for me to try! To make a long story shorter, I thank God and the makers of these that I found these! They did still irritate my skin some for a while, made it a little red and itchy now and then, esp. when the adhesive would build up, but after using an adhesive remover to get all the stubborn leftover build up off, it would feel much better. I was just so grateful they weren't eating holes in my skin like all the others!  And after a while, I don't know if the formula improved or what but they now feel even better then the curad for sensitive skin ones ever did!! And so much cheaper, thank God! It's so expensive needing to use a bandage 24-7.  my only complaint about these would be, I do wish they would restick more, so I wouldn't have to go through so many a day, having to change it every time or every other time I catheterize,  which is a lot having IC. But these still save me a lot of money and have saved the skin around my stoma!!! Thank you Hartmann for making these!! Please don't ever discontinue them, PLEASE!!!!!!


Not only is the product AMAZING the company and employees are BEYOND AMAZING! They took care of me kindly & quickly & respectfully. Those qualities deserve the 5 stars even if the product was horrinle! They truly went above and beyond! I never take the time to review any product! This is my first but blessings need to be shared! I was not expecting a free replacement! My face brushed stopped working i inquired about warranty expecting the answer to be no.  This the the correspondence.....

I love my face brush! It has stopped spinning and I am devastated. Is it covered under warranty?

Hello Danielle,
I am quite sorry to hear that. Could you please check if the batteries out of power? If necessary, please replace with new batteries and have a try.
If still not work, you can contact us here. We would like to send you a new one soon.
Look forward ot hearing from you soon.
Bella
Nope, the batteries aren't dead. In fact I have probably thrown away a dozen good batteries thinking my daughter was forgetting to turn it off. I think a little metal piece from the battery compartment fell off.

Hello Danielle,
I am quite sorry to hear that. For the inconvenience, I would like to send you a new replacement for free immediately. (No need to return the broken one.)　Please confirm if the below shipping address is correct.
Look forward to hearing from you

Oh my gosh what a great blessing! Thank you kindly! Shipping address is correct. God bless

Thank you so much Bella! That's the best thing I've heard all all week.... What a tremendous blessing!  Probably sounds silly that I am so grateful. Because of a rare blood disorder in the leukemia family I was on chemo for a bit & since then (a long time ago) i get  the strangest most random uncommon infections. My least favorite is cellulitis on my face it makes me feel so ugly! Using my face brush helps keep my sensitive skin super clean & makes the cellulitis go away faster & occur significantly less. You have given me a huge blessing! I am so grateful! Thank you! You never know when or how a simple silly kindness is having an impact on someone & blessing them....


Update: I use this every day- it’s been 4 or 5 months and I would say that I still have more than half of it left! Considering that, this is a great economical & climate friendly option. Someone else pointed out how it’s shipped from New Zealand and thus has a carbon footprint due to the transportation involved. While this is true, I would say that if I only have to buy it once or twice a year, the footprint is no worse than the deodorants available to me locally which are all pkged in plastic and run out faster. This bar is actually more than is in most plastic deodorant dispensers and those companies are taking a lot of advantage because they can camouflage how little they give you in the giant opaque container.

Additionally, I just wanna say to the folks experiencing rashes in the reviews who seem to be switching over from big name brand anti-perspirants: when you make the switch away from anti-perspirants, you can experience a detox rash. It’s because your skin is used to the chemicals. I had an awful reaction back when I first switched. But once you got through that initial couple of days/ weeks, it will be totally fine, and worth it. Your skin will actually feel better and it will be easier to shave. Because anti-perspirants are a carcinogen that you don’t need to be putting right into your breast tissue every day. Take a chance! This product is super gentle, effective, and convenient compared to most natural deodorants I’ve tried over the past 16 or so years since I made the switch.

It’s such a relief to find a natural deodorant without anything in it that irritates my skin. I get giant psoriasis type rashes from anything with baking soda and they take a week of not wearing any deodorant just to heal. This has been quite soothing to the skin, keeps working, and is a pleasure to use knowing it doesn’t come with any wasteful plastic. I just plopped it in a jam jar I had lying around. The scent is quite mild and after a couple of hours just smells faintly sweet, but that probably depends on your body chemistry.


I've been using mud mask now for over 30 years.  I have very large pores and just the daily routine of facial cleansing, no matter the routine, never felt like my face was ever really and truly clean.  Plus I love that pampering yourself feel you get when you do a mud mask.  It's like you have been to the spa.  Then afterwards you can feel the glow.

Serene Auras Deep Cleaning Dead Sea Mud Mask for Face and Body detoxes and purifies the skin and they make good on their promise that their product is going to achieve a more beautiful , radiant skin by moisturizing, cleaning, and reducing pores.  Reducing the appearance of wrinkles.  This is a superior in home spa treatment.  Use it on your face, I know I will but I also like the fact that I can use it on the body for aches and pains.
Serene Auras is created for men and women of all ages.  Apart from detoxing and soothing it also contains beneficial minerals help reduce acne and blemishes.

Made from real mud from the Deep Sea and other ingredients that sooth the skin, such as aloe and other natural oils.  It absorbs skin oils and toxins so reduces acne.  It tones and tightens which reduces wrinkles.  It' decreases large pores leaving your skin looking more radiant. It relieves sore muscles, and small aches and pains.  Its all natural.

When my deep sea mud arrived from Serene Auras I know I couldn't wait to get to the bathroom, fill the tub up and lay back in the tub to apply my mud mask and let it do its work.  I love, love, love it!!!!!!  I have now found my new facial mask.

You can rest assured that it's just great to purchase this product because the company stands behind it completely and offers you satisfaction or money back.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion and is based solely on my experience with the product.


This facial brush features quality silicone covering and bristles, with good vibrating massage speeds and a light therapy option.  Also, quite appropriately, it is rated IPX7 waterproof.  I view this level as being 'true' waterproof, since that rating is based upon no damage or water leakage when submerged up to a meter, for 30 minutes. So, it can be used in the shower or bath, which makes sense for a cleansing brush.
Operation is fairly simple, with one twist.  A long press of the power button will activate the vibration massage.  Then you can increase or decrease the speed using the respective + and - buttons.  The twist comes into play when you want the phototherapy feature.  A long press of the - button will engage that feature, and turn off the vibrating massage.  If you want to include the massage aspect, merely press the + button to resume the massage (and then use the +/- buttons to achieve the desired massage speed).
The light cycles through it's color spectrum. I could not find a means to select or stop on any specific light color. It seems, you have to use the lighting rotation.  Personally, I do not see the sense or value in that strict presentation for the phototherapy.
I like that it has it's own tray/base, which also acts as the wireless charging base.  I would exercise caution, though, because the usb port is open/exposed.  I would not want to get water in that opening. And definitley use caution if charging in a wet environment.
The silicone covering and bristles are top notch. The vibrating massage seems ample for cleansing and facial massage.  The phototherapy is cute, but limited to the color rotation constantly cycling.
The product is a decent and able performer. I don't care for the control aspects involving phototherapy.  I would prefer at least an option to select a specific light therapy. Based on these aspects, it receives a 4 - 4.25 star rating.


My daughter loves to create characters through her theater skills and through her make-up and costume design skills.  As a home school mother, I like to foster her gifts so every once in awhile I will purchase something for her that allows her to grow her skills.  That was my thinking when I purchased the Kangaroo Professional Grade Liquid Latex Make-up for my 16 year old daughter.  I had no idea how crazy things would get after it arrived. . .

Just about every day, I sneak out for some exercise at the gym, leaving my 16 year old daughter and 10 year old son to do school work.  Lately, returning home I have found all manner of creatures instead of my children including a zombie and a ghost with a slit throat.  Of course it doesn’t faze me because we are home schoolers and that is just normal.

WHAT IS IN THE BOX:  One 4 ounce bottle of liquid latex.  No applicators are included.  The bottle looks nothing like the larger version in the picture on this listing as of the date of my review.

WHAT I LIKE:  This is real latex.  I know because my youngest has a latex allergy.  I returned home to find my kids quickly scrubbing his chest one time when they decided to create a wound for him.  They forgot.  (Fortunately his skin just turns red temporarily and itches.)

Despite my son’s latex allergy, his reaction has so far been mild.  In fact my kids want to recreate their wounds and head to Wal Mart.  (Not going to happen.)

Realistic special effects can be created without any other special tools.

It dries quickly.

My kids love this stuff!

WHAT I DON’T LIKE:  I love the product but I hate my son’s latex allergy.

PICTURES:  I am including some of the effects my daughter created with this product plus some fake blood.

My kids have had a great deal of fun with this product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in this sort of thing.


I am writing this review for both myself and on a good friend of mine’s behalf. I strongly advise that anybody reading this does not ingest these pills. How this product has an overall rating of four stars is something I cannot even begin to fathom. The amount of caffeine (205mg) along with an additional 25mg of ephedrine in a single pill is not only overstimulating, but makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable overall. It should be known that I am very experienced with high doses of many different types of stimulants. Just one pill from this bottle had my heart beating out of my chest, breaking out in cold sweats profusely, and had my anxiety levels through the roof. I honestly thought I was going to pass out, and it lasted for hours.

As for when my friend one, it was even worse. While she does not have nearly as much experience with stimulants as me (which I would assume the vast majority of buyers do not either), not only did she experience all of the aforementioned symptoms I did, but she also called me up more than four hours after she took one pill. She was breaking down and in tears. When I asked her why she was crying, all she could respond to me repeatedly was: “everything hurts, I’m so nauseous but I can’t throw up, I’ve been in bed all day, and I can’t even walk; everything just hurts way too much! I’m in so much pain”.

I can’t help but wonder if what’s in these pills is even ephedrine, or honestly, even caffeine for that matter! I take 200mg caffeine pills every single day and bought this to try a different brand, and despite saying on the label that this bottle contains about the same amount, it did not even come close to making me nor her feel the way caffeine usually makes us. Either that, or the combination of ephedrine and caffeine is not befitting.

In summary, coming from someone who is well-experienced with high doses of various types of stimulants, ingesting one pill from this bottle will make you feel like you poisoned yourself, and I’m not exaggerating. Do not buy these pills. Nobody deserves to suffer the way my friend and I did. Concluded.


This is one of the cutest banners that I have ever purchased for a Bachelorette Party! I love to decorate for parties and am always looking of elegant, quality decorations. When I was asked to review this "Cheers Bitches" Bachelorette Party Banner by the Sterling James Company. It is made from a high-end card stock emblazoned with gold foil lettering. They are strung up by a 1/8" white ribbon. The cards can be positioned however you want. It can be as long or as short as you prefer. It is lightweight, so it is easy to hang. You can tell by the pictures, but we knotted each end, and hung them by hooks. It looks AMAZING, and I know my future daughter-in-law will love it! It matches a shirt I bought for her with the same sentiment. It matches perfectly!

I usually have to buy most of my party supplies at online catalog stores. I have tried to find unique items in large box stores, but they are all the same. Same styles, colors, etc. when I saw this on Amazon, I knew it was the one! It wasn't made of thin cardboard and screen printed lettering. This banner is made better than any of those. They are not just square pieces of cardboard hung on a wire. I am going to look on Amazon to see if the Sterling James Company has other supplies for the party! If they do, I'm buying it all! They have made a customer for life!

I received this product at a discount to allow me to test it, and then write a review based on the results of my experience using this product. I am not affiliated with this company and I never promise to provide a positive review when offered a discount. I tested the product thoroughly so that you may make an informed decision. The views expressed are 100% my own honest opinion and are in no way influenced by the discount that I received.


These are very well-made, sturdy little pill poppers. I have nine cats, who all hate taking medicines more than a petulant toddler. The only way I can get a dewormer pill into any of them is with one of these gadgets. Even still, I have to break pills in half and shove the pill (in the tip of this syringe) all the way into their throat to get them to swallow. It's all about speed and finesse. You place the pill in the end of the syringe, and make sure the plunger is right up next to it, so that a very light push will eject the pill when you get it in position. You force their mouth open by pinching their cheeks, inserting your thumb gently on one side of their mouth (while they are attempting to bite you) and put the syringe into the very back of their throat, past the tongue but don't push it against the soft palate, just get it into the throat, push the pill out, then quickly remove your thumb and hold their mouth closed for about five seconds to ensure they've swallowed. It's an unpleasant task at best, and a downright agonizing one with some animals. But it's sometimes the ONLY way you can get medicine into your feline friends.

These syringe tips are made from soft, pliable material that bends and will not scrape or tear the delicate lining of your pet's mouth or throat. If you are careful, gentle, but yet firm, you can accomplish those pesky medication tasks without too much fuss. It is a lot harder to give a cat a pill with your fingers than with using one of these, so if you have a cat who likes to spit out her pills, or attempts to gnaw your fingers off when you try to give them anything, try these, because they make your job much easier.

I did receive this product free to try in exchange for sharing my review, and I am glad I got them, because I need to keep them on hand because of my large indoor AND outdoor cat population. I would recommend these syringes to anyone with cats, finicky or not, just to make the job of medicating easier and less stressful for both humans and kitties.


UPDATE: 3/4/21 - It had been quite a while since I ordered these energy shots from Neu, and WOW was it a totally different (and terrible) experience than what I had come to know from my past purchases. I'm not certain if they changed their formula or added new ingredients, but they totally wreaked havoc on my stomach. I lost count of how many trips I made to the bathroom over the 3-4 day period that the effects lasted. Sometimes I'd be on the toilet for 20+ minutes with cramping and bowel movements of varying consistencies. It was so unpleasant, that I returned what drinks I hadn't consumed and came back to update my review and drop my rating down FROM 5 TO 2 STARS! I don't think I've ever done that before in my nearly 2 decade history of being an Amazon customer. Absolutely disappointed in these Neu shots now, and I don't plan on re-ordering them in the future :(

ORIGINAL: I am very impressed with these energy shots! The taste is kinda bad but the result was very pleasing. I drank the recommended half bottle before work and I noticed improvements in my motivation, energy, and my mood. It wasn't a euphoric feeling, but I was feeling noticeably "happier". Usually energy shots like 5-Hour, etc., just give me the jitters and make me sweat. This was a more mellow type of energy and the focus I experienced was a definite plus. The only negative side effect I've experienced so far is that, even after drinking on a full stomach, I started to feel hungry and my stomach churned a little bit about 1-2 hours after having the shot. All-in-all I'm very happy I came across this product. It's a little pricey in my opinion, but the fact that it actually works as advertised makes it well worth the cost. If you're skeptical on how these will effect you, I'd recommend trying the 3 quantity variety pack. That's what I started off with.


I've heard great things about liposomal technology, so I decided to give it a try.  I'm no health expert, so my information is really based on the little I've read about it.  Apparently, vitamin C taken in larger doses cannot be absorbed as well by the cells.  When this happens, much of what's ingested can easily get flushed through our system and down the toilet (yellow pee, anyone?).

If what I'm reading is correct, liposomes wrap around the vitamin C, so that they can be absorbed by the cells much more easily.  When this happens, the vitamin C better does what it's supposed to do - boost the immune system, give you better skin, and fight tiredness and fatigue.  I imagine during this era of concern over Covid-19, it wouldn't hurt to find better ways to boost one's immune system.

One thing that makes me wonder about this particular product, though, is this: If liposomes are like a kind of nano technology that encapsulates the vitamin C, what exactly is meant, then, when it says that these specific capsules do not contain genetically modified organisms?  I may just have "liposome technology" and "genetically modified organisms" mixed up all together, so I probably just don't know what is meant by "genetically modified," and why this particular brand, being not GMO, would be superior to its rivals on its use of liposome technology.  Nevertheless, I still have this question.

So another question for this specific product is, does it work?  Well, I don't know. I suppose I may not know the answer to that question until many months later, if I paid close attention to my skin, level of fatigue, and immune system.  Is my urine still yellow?  I take other vitamins other than this one, so I can't use this as a marker, either.  What I think, though, is that if liposomes seem to be as great as they are supposed to be, it probably wouldn't hurt to use it as a means of boosting my vitamin C absorption.

Finally, a word on the labeling - white font on a yellow label makes for a *really* hard read, especially if one does not have great eyesight.  I strained even with my glasses on, so I might encourage the makers to use another font color over their yellow label, in order to see the words more clearly.


UPDATE ON 2/28/2018 - The company sent me another pad to replace the one that kept shutting off.  The same model, and it is working just fine and the heat seems to be more evenly distributed. The original one I received must have been defective.  So GREAT customer service!

...................

First of all, I really like the feel of the fabric on this heating pad. The size is perfect for my back or my leg calves, depending on where I need it. Unlike a lot of pads I've had in the past, the innards do not bunch up or get soft and bent out of shape. The highest setting is not scalding like some other brands I've tried, which I am absolutely thrilled about.

But I have run into a few problems that I've been able to work around but may be of concern to others.

The most annoying problem for me is that while it claims to have a two-hour auto shut-off, it shuts off a lot sooner than that. I'm in the habit of using a heating pad at night while watching a movie, and when I have to turn it back on three times during a 90-minute film without commercial breaks, there's something wrong there.

There is also a notable design flaw. Unlike many pads that have their cords coming out from an edge seam, there is a large, hard plastic piece that is on the upper part of the pad (the soft part that you use against your body) that is incredibly uncomfortable if you happen to like to lean back in your chair while it's on your back. I realize that this is part of the removable power cord so you can wash the pad, but I wish it wasn't placed in such a way that makes using that corner of the pad uncomfortable.

Another thing I've noticed is that from time to time it does not feel like the heating element is distributing heat evenly throughout the length of the pad.  This happens mainly after an hour of use.

None of these problems are so bad that I would wish to return it, but I do foresee looking for another model in the future.


at $21.95 they come out to about 7 cents a wipe.  it feels expensive in the beginning, but after Alexa does the math for u, u realize are they each worth 7 pennies a piece... yes they r.  they last... and last.  I used 1 with pledge to clean my glass dinning table (not cleaned in at least a month... dont judge... we dont use it), after I was done the wipe was still looking good so I moved on to my wet bar.  I folded it a bunch of times to keep the side I was using clean.  I then went into the kitchen with a new 1 and did all of my kitchen counter granite.  as kitchen size goes... its smaller, but not that small.  my granite is black and I didnt realize how much yucky stuff was lurking til I used a single wipe.  I then grabbed another and cleaned my entire toilet.  again great results.  ok lets recap... for 21 cents I cleaned my wet bar, dinning room table, kitchen counter, and my toilet... sign me up for another package of 300 please.  I did put the towel down for a few minutes after wiping the table and I will say that it dried rather fast, so if it isn't really dirty I think u could use 1 again... im not sure if u would want to keep a used 1 lying around, but I think u could.  the only thing I didnt love about the product was the packaging.  these 9" x 9" cloths are just lying on top of eachother in a super simple plastic wrapper that once it is open... its not cleanroom ready.  anything could get into the package.  I suppose if u were already inside a clean room when u opened them, it would remain clean, but it just feels like they should have added a ziplock edge to one side of the package.  just a side note... I tried to tear 1 with just water on it, and I wasnt able to... I wasnt using all of my strength, but by just pulling it only stretched the wipe out, it did not tear it.  they r pretty heavy duty and lint free when it comes to cleaning.  I hope this was helpful.


1. Look/Design: I like the label. It is basic, but professional. It contains all natural ingredients and you can find the expiration date on the side of the bottle.  "1.00 STARS!

2. Effectiveness: This is one of those supplements that takes a while to see noticeable results. The supplement contains a pretty basic formula with only a few ingredients. To be honest, I think the formula would be more effective if more ingredients were added, since there are plenty of herbs that help both the brain and vision.  "0.75 STARS!"

3. Quickness Of Results: You definitely won't notice drastic results from the get go, but with continued use you should probably feel results within a few days to a few weeks.  "0.50 STARS!"

4. Feel/Comfort: I didn't experience any stomach discomfort or indigestion while consuming the capsules. The capsules have the most interesting  circle shape and are very small and easy to swallow!  "1.00 STARS!"

5. Price/Value: The price is quite steep considering how few of servings you get in the bottle. If the formula was more noticeable with quicker results than I think the price would be more worth it.  "0.50 STARS!"

6. Summary: This is a decent product. It is a formula that takes time to see effective results instead of showing instant results like some formulas and I think the formula could use some more ingredients to make it more powerful such as ginkgo, which have been shown to improve on both the brain and eyesight and is an herb that you find in many other formulas such as this one. The steep price is also something to keep in mind.

7. Rating: I rate this product a 3.75 out of 5.00 stars and have to round up to 4.00 stars for Amazon's review system.

DISCLAIMER: I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased review and opinions.


My elderly mother and I have both struggled with iron deficiency anemia for pretty much our entire lives. My ferritin level on my labs a year ago was 16. According to my doctor, it should be MINIMUM 75-90 range. I was previously using a product called Vitron C for over a decade which based on my labs clearly wasn’t working. I tried SlowFE too which was crap lol. After a lot of research on what iron was best for me, something I could take on an empty stomach without pain AND also tasted great, I stumbled across NovaFerrum pretty much by accident. I’m SO glad I did! I started taking 1 chewable every day and my most recent labs show my ferritin number went up to 22! That might not seem like a big increase in a year but when you struggle for as many decades as I have with how to get numbers up, let me tell you this increase is very very good. So much so, that I’ve had my mom taking the high potency liquid version (her ferritin is even lower than mine and she can’t chew very well) - she loves it! I also increased my consumption to 2 chewables a day 🙂 they do truly taste great. I can’t taste any iron/coppery ickyness at all, and my mom says there’s a very slight aftertaste but isn’t bad at all and if you find that you don’t like that tiny aftertaste, mix it in a shot of your favorite juice. You don’t even need a full cup lol. NovaFerrum has done an amazing job! I just recently purchased their new liquid multivitamin with elderberry and I can’t wait to try that one too. I am definitely a lifetime customer! I highly recommend their products for everyone from children to elderly ages. I do suggest you buy these directly from NovaFerrum’s website though… they’re much cheaper than Amazon has listed and NovaFerrum will even email you coupon codes for discounts from time to time. Win win!


I am horrible about remembering to take vitamins daily. I have been trying to find ways to help me remember, so that I can do much better this year than last. I’ve experimented with a variety of pill containers. The thing that attracted me to this particular container is that it allows you to sort out two weeks’ worth of pills at one time. This was a big plus for me, as one of the reasons I tend to “fall off” is having to re-sort the pills every 7 days. This may not be much of a task for some people, but my schedule as a working mom of a Kindergartener makes even that simple task a monumental one. I got the opportunity to purchase this pill container at a discount in exchange for my honest review, and I wanted to see if sorting pills for 2 weeks at a time would help me stay on point with my vitamins.

Yes, it takes twice as long to fill the container but that is because you are sorting twice as many days’ worth of pills. For me – THIS WAS WORTH IT! I was able to sort 14 days of pills, keep the container in my top desk drawer at work, and I remembered every single day to take them. This was primarily because that is the first drawer I open when I sit down at work in the morning, to pull out my glasses. The fact that I was not required to fill the container at the 7 day mark was tremendously helpful. I wound up replenishing week one at the 10 day mark, with no pressure. And this is why I saw success – because it was not a show stopper to fill the container at that point, I still had 4 days worth of pills sorted and ready to go.

The only con I noted was that the compartments are not as deep as other containers I have used. This is okay for now because I am not taking too many large pills at the moment. Once I add another fish oil pill to the mix, the compartments will be full.

This container is valuable to anyone who has lots of medication sorting to do; someone who does not have a time to sort one a week; someone who needs to remember if they took their medication for the day; or someone who is just lazy about this sort of thing. Being able to sort two weeks’ worth of pills at one time is helping me stay on course with my vitamins so far, and I am on my way to a much better vitamin-filled year.


I like the fact that you can use four channels at a time, even more with the double lead they include. Device is mostly easy to use, except even after reading the minimal (and tiny) instruction booklet I still can't figure out how to sync all channels, so it's kind of annoying when you have electrodes on complementary body parts doing different things.

The 30 levels are fine for EMS but the TENS I wish I could go a bit higher. For the money though it does just fine. And the 24 modes are split up 12 modes each for TENS and EMS. A way to customize modes/any customization options besides intensity/duration would be nice but isn't a deal breaker.

Time can only be increased in increments of 10 minutes but you can turn it off whenever so it's not a big deal.

The instruction booklet (which as mentioned before) is very short and, seriously, incredibly tiny, so the pictures showing where to place electrodes are as good as useless. However this isn't a big deal since Google exists. Still would be nice to have a handy reference you could actually use.

The only things keeping this a 4 star review instead of 5 is the modes are very confusing. The modes are chosen based on choosing a picture of either a massage (TENS) or activity/sport (EMS) but the pictures don't make a lot of sense in regards to what they device is actually doing. There's not really a rhyme or reason to it that I can find. It makes it really hard to decide what mode to actually use. That along with the impossibility of getting channels to actually sync dropped it down a star.

Cost/benefit of the device though is still very much worth it, especially with the 4 channels, 30 intensity levels, 12 TENS + 12 EMS modes, and quality build of the device. You can definitely feel it working and it seems to be helping, at least short term. I suggest giving it a shot.


If I hadn't already used one of the [[ASIN:B00DL6LRNY Manatea Tea Infuser Silicone Strainer]] (by Fred and Friends), I might give these sharks a better rating. The are just not quite as good as the Manatea, in my opinion. Shark fans who drink tea should not be put off by my 4 instead of 5 stars.

And both sharks and manatees look funny (in a grim way) if you drink herbal teas with ingredients that make your tea red.

I use tea infusers like this one to hold those tea bags that don't have any strings, rather than loose leaf tea.

Pros: It is silicone, inexpensive, cute, and the tail joins the body snugly without being hard to use. Shark fans who drink tea will enjoy them. A stringless tea bag (like Republic of Tea, etc.) can be rolled loosely to fit into the shark. Doesn't stain, even with hibiscus leaves in the tea. Sharks!

Cons: They're a bit on the big side for my taste, and they don't grip the lip of the mug as effectively as the Manatea infuser does. If you drink tea from a teacup instead of a mug, it might be just about right.

Details:
The shark's head is a heavier, more rigid material than the tail, and the "mouth" that holds the edge of the mug is just slightly too tight for a standard mug so it wants to slide up and fall into the mug.

With some herbal teas, if I'm rushing off to a meeting I'll leave the tea bag in as I drink. I can still manage to sip out of a standard mug with a Manatea in it. With these sharks, that's out of the question. They just take up too much space above the mug. (Yes, I use these sharks and the Manatea at work. My co-workers already know I'm a little odd.)

That said, the tail is not so big that it displaces too much of the tea, and I think most people will take an infuser out of their cup before drinking.


Vegetables actually have a fair amount of protein, and I'm happy to see this vegetarian option in the marketplace.

I do a lot of weightlifting, and the more variety of protein options there are, the better.  I can't imagine using the same protein powder for years at a time.  I'm always happy to try out a new option, and this offering from GENONE is very good.

Flavor:  If you've never tried "workout chocolate before" then let me warn you it is not a candy bar.  Nearly every brand of workout supplement that claims to be chocolate is like a semisweet chocolate powder.  Have you ever tried cocoa powder?  well, thats what this GENONE is like.  Personally I am very happy that its NOT SWEET.  I tried a "cookies and cream" protein drink recently and was really put off by the appalling sweetness.  This GENONE chocolate on the other hand is not sweet and has a relatively decent aftertaste.  BUT!  If you are looking for the chocolate flavor usually associated with milkshakes made from real ice cream, you won't find it here! (or most anywhere else, for that matter).

It says it has 30 servings, and since I work out 6 days a week, that will last me for about 5 weeks.

Mixing it was fine, it says all you need to do is "shake well" and its nice to not NEED a blender ball to keep it mixed.  But I did have to use a fork to stir it, particularly because I had to scrape the bottom and side of the container to get it all mixed in.  Really, thats not necessary it was just me being a little OCD about "mixing it all".  I felt it mixed well.  I just mixed it with water which is how I mix all my shakes, particularly when I'm reviewing them.

Overall I would recommend this for a change of routine if you are looking for a new protein powder to try.  It doesn't have EVERYTHING under the sun, like some protein drinks do, but maybe thats a good thing, right?


I am so happy to FINALLY have the tools I need to get nasty plaque and tartar off of my teeth between visits to the dentist.  I have always been disgusted by the plaque buildup that seems to evade even the best dental floss, and eventually turns into tartar.  (Plaque is the colorless, soft, sticky film of bacteria that is made of food particles and saliva, and if it is not completely brushed or flossed away each day, it can harden and turn into tartar, which can be very difficult to remove.)

This kit came with 7 individual instruments, three having a different tip on each end.  The sharp tips came protected with a clear rubber segment over them, which I'll likely keep so that I can put them back on after each use (for safety's sake).  The pieces in this kit include 2 dental picks, an anti-fog mouth mirror, Jacquette scaler, tartar scraper, burnisher, and a sickle scaler.  The carrying case is zippered and compact, so it's easy to store in a small space or take with you for travel.

After my first try with these instruments, I was able to remove tartar behind my bottom front teeth that had been bothering me for a while, and it feels so wonderful to have that gone!  Do be careful when using these instruments, and don't scrape too much against your teeth.  It is possible to damage the enamel and gums, so be gentle and go slowly!  I'm VERY happy with this dental kit, and I would recommend it for those who want to keep their teeth extra clean between visits to the dentist.

I love this thing.

I have terrible insomnia. Sometimes I can't sleep without complete silence. I live in the city and there's so much outside noise. And my housemates have a completely different sleeping schedule than me. I tolerated it for a few years before I was so sleepy all the time that I couldn't take it anymore. That's when I found this. I first saw it in a counseling center at my school. I didn't know what it was because I thought most white noise machines were tracks being played. But this is better. I slept with a fan on my nightstand in the summer and I found out that this drowns out the noise. So I use this in the other months when it's too cold to use a fan. It has helped me sleep soundly. It blocks out enough noise that if someone were to call me from outside, I wouldn't hear a thing. I can't hear cars passing by or people talking on the street. I can't hear things through the walls. I have this thing on the floor right near my head. I think the placement matters.

The only bad thing about this thing is that the motor is making noises now. It used to smell the first few times I used it too. It was this plastic smell as the machine heated from overnight use. It disappeared after a week and the machine doesn't get nearly as hot anymore. I'm a bit disappointed that the motor is kind of dying but I think it has to do with dust. For my next one, I'm going to be careful with the dusty on the floor. I tried to open my current one up but I haven't been able to unsnapped certain parts to get the hood to pop off. I've had mine for almost two years now. I see that some people have had theirs for much longer. I guess the quality has diminished or there was a bad batch. But it's so essential to my sound sleep that I just don't care about paying $40ish every two years.

If you're debating whether or not to buy it, go for it. But be aware that it literally sounds like a fan without the wind. If you can't stand that type of white noise, then don't get it. I find it soothing.


It heats up like it says, and fairly quickly. I used an infrared thermometer and the top maxed out at 113 F, and the concave eye portion at 83 F. The concave eye portion could get hotter if you press it into the heating layer. So the heat is largely influenced by the contour padding and air gaps.

In that respect, it is a very efficient sleep mask, not putting pressure on the eyes, and providing a true blackout. There may be an issue around the nose area as everyone's noses are different. I end up with a slight peak-through at the most comfortable distance up from my nose if I look at it.

The hook-and-loop strap is on the finer side, indeed less likely to trap hair but do move it out of the way. I don't have a particularly large head and there was only one inch left where I set it. So if you have a large head it may not be sufficient.

The magnetic connection is nice, I find it tolerates a good amount of movement. Of course it will disconnect with enough force; much easier vertical than lateral, as there is a small peg reinforcing the connection. 39 inches is not all that much, especially since the control is half way, taking up some slack. It's fine if you are wearing a USB battery but difficult if it's tethered. The connection is on the left side if you're wearing it, which can pose a problem depending on where the power source is. You can use a USB extender cable but it's a hassle.

It comes with a cold gel pack that sits in the concave area, and a sateen finish cinch bag for transport.

In conclusion, it works and comfort was prioritized, but there are some issues. The more direct heat concentrated at the top is limited, and the concave area is effectively creating a low-temperature oven via radiant heat; more even heating and reaching 131 F would be large improvement. I would have appreciated an additional magnetic connection on the other side of the mask. The strap should be longer.


Well, I've been trying out various protein shakes to try and have something readily
available for meal replacements.  Thanks to some mobility problems, I can't get to the refrigerator
when I get hungry, so having something available where I am was important.

We've tried several flavors of Spiru-tein shakes now.  We got various packets,
and got a whole can of the egg nog.  If you like the egg nog that comes in the wax cartons
like a quart of milk during the holidays, then you will like this one.

I needed something that would mix well and taste okay with WATER, not milk, as I cannot
get to the milk. We tried this one both ways, and I love it both ways!

The milk made it taste like a creamy cup of rich eggnog from a carton - definitely not like a diet shake.
The water made a very tasty version also - I use a shaker with a blender ball (vs a blender),
and very cold water. I shook it like crazy, then let it sit for a minute.  It mixes very easily,
and I had no problems at all with the shaker. The result was a super creamy shake, thick enough to
drink with a straw if desired. It has a nice nutmeg aftertaste. The color is eggnog yellow (why mention
color? Some of Spiru-tein's shakes have some funky colors!), and totally acceptable. It coated the blender cup as well.

The only downside, if you can say there is one, is that it uses fructose as a sweetener. I prefer
stevia myself.  At least it is not aspartame, which would be a deal breaker. It uses only ONE scoop
per 8 ounces of liquid, and has 120 calories, 14 grams of protein and 15 grams of carb (making it a little
bit on the high side of the carb). However, it also has choline and inositol in this flavor, which adds
to the fat burning potential.

I don't drink this to bulk up, rejuvenate after lifting weights, or any of the athletic uses.
I am using protein shakes as meal replacements to help shed some weight. So, the relatively lower
protein (compared to the muscle shakes) suits me just fine.

They say this is a holiday edition.  They need to offer it year-round. It is fantastic!
A definite favorite in our house, with six thumbs up.
We'll definitely buy this one again!


With all the things going on with Nail spa's, we are always looking for a way to make sure we have pretty feet.  With this callus remover, you will get that look in minutes! No need to wait in a pedicure chair, or even pray that you won't get a disease because they may not sanitize the equipment. No worries! You will have your own personal one at home. This product is very neat, to me. I have had problem with callus for years, and when I got this product and tried it out; I was in awe!

A little description of this amazing remover:
First it does come in a box that will include three different types of heads for your remover. You have one that will immediately get to the bottom of the icky callus. The next one helps with left over callus that wasn't removed with the first mod. The last one smooths the skin on your feet as if you had soaked in a pedicure chair for 30 minutes. Seriously, it is just that good. The product also come with a charge cable for your remover, and I would advise that you let charge for a typical 8 hours to get the best results. You can also use this product with while it is on charger, but I wouldn't recommend. You can use this in the shower, but I wouldn't recommend that because you do have to still charge it and you don't want any water getting into the port the charger connects too. There is also a clear protector for your remover once you are done, just to keep it sanitize until you are ready to use again. There is also a brush that helps clean off the excess callus of the product, which is great!

I would definitely recommend this product. Everyone needs there own personal callus remover without paying an arm and a leg for a pedicure at Nail Spas. It is easy to use, directions included. Just charge it up and get ready for the ride of your life.

Disclaimer: I receive this product at a deeply discounted price for my unbiased honest opinion.


I really can’t go a day without using this oil. It’s the only thing that makes my skin feel soft. Ive used so many different 24-48 hr moisturizing lotions which start off great but doesn’t compare to this oil.

This baby oil is AMAZING and has MULTIPLE USES. Ive always used the pink regular one from johnson’s but i wanted to try out this brand with the aloe & vitamin E. I’m glad i did!!!! it’s sooo moisturizing and works perfectly on my skin. I love how it feels and makes my entire body feel so soft and hydrated. I use it in a mist spray bottle straight out of the shower everyday and it works wonders!!! I actually mix it in with a bit of water in the spray bottle, so the water gets on my skin and the oil seals it in to keep it hydrated. It spreads very easily.

it’s so much better than putting on lotion  that dries out almost immediately. I use on my face AND body. it seals in moisture and keeps my skin GLOWING! my face loves this stuff especially since i have dry-combination skin. when i have this on, i know my facial skin barrier is protected because it literally seals the skin and keeps moisture in.

I actually also started using it on my hair because i know aloe & vitamin e is beneficial for hair. i put it in a spray bottle to make things easier. I get less shed hair because it makes my hair so easy to brush out any tangles. This has changed the softness of my hair so much! My hair has never felt so hydrated and soft & stayed that way for DAYS until this product. IM SO AMAZED. I know the future of my hair is going to be long and healthy.

Also, mineral oil is rated 0 on the comedogenic scale meaning that it will not clog pores and is not capable of doing so because the molecule is physically too big to clog pores so that is why i’ve always used it for my face/body with no problems.

Not all of the formulas are non clogging though! the pink cap and green cap ones are best (in my experience), & the brown(cocoa/shea from j&j) is horrible and will surely clog pores because of the cocoa butter it in being a 4 on the comedogenic scale. i have not tried the lavender version of this oil.


I bought this watch for myself and really wanted to love it.  My old talking watch died on me and I needed a quick, economical replacement for it.  This one seemed to meet those criteria.  Sadly, it didn't live up to my expectations.  After less than 2 months, it just plain quit working right.

There ARE good points about this watch.  There are 4 diferent alarms to set for time reminders.  I loved that.  It woke me up, alerted me to it being time to get the kids off to school, told me when they would be home soon and let me know when it was time to start getting them ready for bed.  I loved the stopwatch feature.  I was really in love with the date function.  In so many ways, it was everything I wanted.  And then there were flaws...

I loathed the watch band.  Looking at the picture, it appeared to be your typical rubbery plastic sport-type band.  But it wasn't.  It's a stiff plastic that really made it a pain in the backside to buckle on my wrist.  And then there's the fact that it's lasted me a mere 6 weeks before dying on me.  I turned off the hourly report feature one nite.  45 minutes later, when I went to check the time, it didn't respond.  It was totally blank.  Ticked off, I set it aside and looked at it the next morning.  It was once again showing time (the incorrect time), but the buttons wouldn't do anything.  No talking.  No resetting the time.  Nothing.  I've never gotten it wet.  It's been taken care of.  And it just died.

Now, perhaps I got a bad one.  One of the parts in it just fizzled out.  But when you're visually impaired and your watch dies, you're kinda up the creek without a paddle, so to speak.  If I were you, I would buy a totally different watch.  If you want something cheap?  Independent Living Aids sells a REALLY cheap talking watch for around $7.  It's ugly to look at, but will do the job if you need that.  Or you can spend around double and buy something that looks a whole lite nicer and much better quality to last a lot longer.


Hello everyone! I started using this powder 2 months ago. I knew from the reviews and previous experience with other herbal protocols dues to Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella, etc...to go super slow.

I only use a fraction of the scoop and use every 2-3 days. That alone makes me Herx a bit which means it's working. I've been able to tolerate it and hoping to be able to use it daily.

Pros:

Has every herb in this one powder that my naturopathic doctor wanted me to take. Also I know that all the herbs listed is also in Stephen Buhner's protocol to help with not just Lyme but various co infections.

Saves money and time. Instead of purchasing each herb individually to use, it's all compacted into one powder and I just have to take it so far once every other day. I'm on a tight budget so this is a winner.

You feel this powder crossing the blood-brain barrier. So if you feel any tingling sensations or something like that within your head after taking this powder, it's okay, that means it's really working and helping out your CNS. Good for Neuro Lyme & Neuro Co-infections.

I have more energy (huge win)!

Cons:

It's not so much a con but those in the world of Lyme disease know that unfortunately some of us herx when taking certain products or treatments. Praying that this will pass soon and that I could just start to feel better altogether.

I detox a great deal and also use a binder to get the toxins out, all the dead bacteria that might be floating around inside my body, biofilms and all that nasty stuff. This is super important to find a good detox protocol and binder.

I'm going to continue using this and want to come back in a few months and share with all of you how I'm doing. I'm down to working on the last few symptoms of Lyme disease and co-infections after being diagnosed 9 years ago. I do have CNS Lyme and trying to see if a co-infection or two also impacted my brain.

Praying that I could be in remission soon and that this powder could really help me get through the finish line.


As someone who is new to playing instruments, this guitar foot stool is awesome because it allows me to rest my foot without the strain.  I do not know if there is a weight limit to this stool but since you are only putting one foot on it, you should be okay.  As a violin player, your body can take on the effects of  sitting and leaning for a long time and can cause pain after years of playing. The guitar stool is used mainly for sitting and playing instruments as I am currently using it to practice my violin at home. The design of this foot stool is to  to elevate the leg your leg a  bit so your body is not in a hunched over position while playing, which can become painful after a while of playing. The foot stool has several different height positions to choose from so whether your short or tall, there is a setting for just about anyone. The adjustable levels are made by moving one of the legs on the bottom and selecting one of the groove positions. The material used to produce this product are sturdy and seem to be of good quality so I don't have to worry about it breaking after the initial use. Again, you are just resting your foot on the stool instead of applying your entire weight.  It features a padded surface for the foot rest part, which allows for a more comfortable foot position and it has a slip resistant surface so your foot is not moving around. As someone who tends to wear shoes that has horrible traction, this foot stool allows me to rest comfortable with slipping. Upon initial usage, it will take some getting used to and might feel uncomfortable  for the first two times because your muscles are getting used to the resting stage instead of flat.  The great thing about this feature is that each foot rests has a protective piece attached to prevent any scratches to your floor or surface. This is the added bonus because I can literally use this foot stool anywhere without worrying about it damaging my floor especially if they are tile or wooden.  This guitar foot stool can easily put in your tool bag and easy to carry around since it is lightweight and folds up easily for storage. I don;t have anything negative to say about this item because it does the job that it was made to do which is to support your foot. I received this item at a a free/deeply discounted rate in exchange for my honest opinion. My opinion of the item is 100% of my own opinion.
