Another wonderful book is called Hedgerow Medicine by Julie Bruton. I make lots of herbal infusions from dried and fresh plants, these require hot water - unless you live somewhere really sunny - then they could simply be infused on a sunny window...
Thanks for posting, Charles. I've also been pondering on this topic and not just superfoods but herbal supplements, tinctures, elixers etc. On an energy level seems they'd certainly be dim of life force.
I get great satisfaction from walking through the woods and fields here every day.... I always examine different plants closely, the leaves, texture, smell, smell when crushed, the roots, the way the roots smell... it really does send you to anoth...
my lifestyle is hardly conventional.. i despise toilets and earwax is the only "product" in my hair, i have conversations with trees and rocks and clovers and chipmunks, dancing is my primary mode of transportation.. my divine purpose is to create loving energy into life, what i like to call, love breath.
i believe i am

hi! i was reading some old posts and came accross one of yours saying you had tried wwoofing a while back? this is something i'm considering doing, what was your experience like?
Lindsay thanks for you comment on my bi polar blog. I have been doing a banana fast where i only eat bananas to help me cleanse myself of food addictions. it is something im following according to dr. douglas graham. im doing it for a week and then i will gradually add in other things. i want to try to be as much 100% raw as i can because like you, i have noticed a severe impact when i eat badly. Like last night, i cheated and succumbed to half a slice of peperroni pizza and i did NOT feel well. It took forever to get to sleep and i just felt crap. So its really interesting about the raw diet.

Im a hydrotherapist and I love taking arm bath. Its a totally wakeup kickstart in the morning! And the fundamental hydrotherapeutic stuff are the cold flushes and wraps. Sure theres much more like the 5 principles by S. Kneipp (water, moving, plan...

i like sub-acid sweet pineapples. but the losers have like a patent on the 'head' - so u can never buy them with the heads on. i love planting pineapple heads though.
pineapples are weird eh. Wiley old foxes.
Can you just eat more volume so you don't binge? also, what about eating really dense herbs like a bunch or two of parsely or basil put into a pesto? Parsely is high in iron so you can make a tabouli with it and use oranges instead of tomatoes- it...
