My eye specialist (rather grumpy, over worked but very very good) suggested a way to help the horrible dry scratchy eye problem that I had had for years. I’d used just about every eye drop/gel version on the market with no lasting results. He told me that as one gets older, the glands in the...

This was in a recipe for chicken fricassee (as Johannisbrotkernmehl). Does anyone have any experience whether it’s good or not? A review said that it was slightly ‘slimy’ in hot dishes, but very good for ice cream. ‘Slimy’ is quite off putting.

I have heard from my Australian cousin (who is a nutritionist and works with Diabetes Australia) that an Australian study has shown that taking 500mg of Vitamin C twice a day reduces BG levels. This is reported on Diabetes.co.uk but I couldn’t get a link to copy. But it’s easy enough to find...
