For myself I'm kinda hesitent to add in things unless it is recommended by someone with some kind of medical support backing what they are saying.

I've jumped at way too many "Pie-in-the-sky" things in my quest to lose weight and it didn't serve my health or body well...for me I'm determined to do this the "right" way. I want to know what I am doing to my body and I want to educate myself as much as possible to do what is best for my health.

Just my 2 cents...
I'd love to know what she finds out when your nutritionist goes to that conference!

I've used the papaya to help with naseua on occasion, but that's about it.
