Goji Berries
Hi All,
This may be old news but thought I should pass on the info. Have spoken to two goji berry companies who say that all tibetan goji berry supplies at the moment are NOT ORGANIC...even if they state they are! :o
Turns out the goji berries have been found to be covered in 2 pesticides due to spraying happening nearby in a local wood! These findings were found by EU testing so companies are now waiting on the new harvest which is happening in around 2 months.
The first company I spoke to had actually been waiting to confirm their goji's were organic a couple of months ago and then told us this today. Nice of them to be so honest!
Dunno if any of this applies to Chinese wolfberries???

Hi Gail
That's interesting. I get my gojis from raw living and I can't remember whether they are organic or not? I think DYW does organic ones?

I think I'll email both RL & DYW to see if they know anything about the pesticide residue thing that's going on and see what they say about their products ;)

Good plan, let me know how you get on. My goji-intake has seriously sky-rocketed of late so it'd be good to know the best source. Will check out my online ebay woman to see if hers are organic.

I only use them if necessary, like if Im ordering at a restaurant, or if someone asks me about my diet.

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.

Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.
I'm assuming "fasting properly" means RESTING while fasting?

Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided.

GASP! I would never accuse you of such. Take that back right now.
Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...
