Chad, I'm pretty sure there is a law against you saying that....; )

Angus, It may seem like a piddling point, but I think it's important that we don't call theories "laws". And thanks for the clarification on this one. ----tele

Here's an interesting article about how holistic grassland management through grazing can help reduce Co2.
http://www.holisticmanagement.org/n9/about/carbon.php

I was thinking about the fact that grass-fed cows produce much more methane use almost no fossil fuel compared to grain-fed cows.
I think the methane issue wouldn't be such a big deal if we also didn't have so much Co2 to deal with and if people ate much smaller portions of meat, like the 6 oz/day Nora Gegaudas recommends- and that includes eggs and fish, so the meat portion could be quite miniscule!

I do the frozen when at home and I do the flakes when I travel. Just makes things a little easier that way. To me, BrainOn has a completely different taste than the regular E3. Enjoy your bounty my friend.

Sorry to hear about your aunt and I am sure that you are thankful for what you have received. Did you buy the liquid E3 or the flakes?
At 10:33am on November 4, 2009, Pink Lady Apple said…
Did you put the E3Live in the smoothie....sounds kick ass ;-)
I personally like to take my E3live separately from other foods. I just take two tablespoons straight up before eating anything else in the morning.
I am so glad that you've had an opportunity to try all of this out and hopefully you find it beneficial to your health.
I love them and you too!!!!
Take care and be well.

FEELING INFRARED RADIATION FROM THE GROUND Here's an experiment you can try. On a clear dry evening after a sunny day, as the sun is setting, extend your arm out over the ground (grass, dirt, or even better a driveway or parking lot. Turn your hand over, back and forth, several times -- palm facing down, then up, then down, etc. You will be able to feel the difference in the amount of IR radiation reaching the top and bottom of your hand. The reason for this is that the sky is emitting much less radiation downward than the ground is emitting upward.

So, how are you enjoying the E3Live and the Vitamineral Green? Big bottles on the VG huh?

What sorts of changes did you notice on E3 Live? I bought a bottle a few months ago, but wasnt taking it daily so I didnt notice much. I plan to take mine everyday once they arrive.

Profile Information

About Me:
20 years vegetarian (nearly vegan, but not strictly)
60 to 80% raw currently (transitioning to hi-raw and maybe 100%)
student of Permaculture design (certified via Bill Mollison 1997)
network administrator
process control designer
recording/live sound engineer
soil builder
red worm rancher
farmer of greens, in soil trays, under lights
sproutaholic
student of human nature (having to write my own curriculum here and there : )

caution: I look for and sometimes exhibit: reason, open-mindedness, critical thinking, humor, helpfulness.

20 years ago, a small amount of blue-green algae changed my life forever... (ask me, but don't worry...I don't sell it anymore !)

THINGS I'VE SAID:

*Let's stay on the path,
to encourage seekers and each other.
But, let's laugh till we can't breathe,
when we take ourselves too seriously.

*My food prep dread has finally led to blended bliss

*Few are things this or that, white or black,
more often degrees and subtleties.
Not just two choices today,
for me.....no gloom in the grey.

*I tend to be suspicious of instantaneous results (and especially explanations) But show me again and again... and I may believe and follow.

*Our ability to affect natural systems far surpasses our willingness to understand them. (Paraphrasing Bill Mollison, Half Moon Bay, CA. 1997)

*I believe we act as filters to all that enters our world. Keeping what we can use or agree with ....and letting the rest flow by. But...how often are we conscious of the choosing? And, does the flow have ANYTHING worth filtering?

*every moment is an opportunity to recommit or change direction.
the third option is forgetting the first two.
remember with deep breaths...

*amazed by decay
lovely if its breaking down,let me watch.
the season of rot and spirits are up
fall leaves, return loaned earth minerals

*those who think they have all the answers amuse me

*use food for thoughts

*watch barriers melt and respect bloom
when you admit, without hesitation,
that which you don't know.
.....a strength often mistaken as weakness.

*attack, decay, sustain, release

*bleck

FAVORITE QUOTES:

* are you sure?

*An unflinching determination to take the whole evidence into account is the only method of preservation against the fluctuating extremes of fashionable opinion. >>> Alfred North Whitehead

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?

GI2MR Oath: I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I will not name call or throw around personal attacks. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. When possible, I'll try to smile : )
Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.

less fear...more quest!

It's too easy to be cautioned into not taking action on the raw path. Too many tales of mistakes and troubles and musts. Be fully prepared to "fail yourself forward" and make some mistakes. Better to make adjustments to your course along the way... than to never start your journey.

Don't buy into the crap that there is a specific raw diet which is best for everyone (ie: 80/10/10, Natural Hygiene, 100% raw vegan, Essene, etc.) So many of us are coming from SAD (Standard American Diet) and there are amazing gains to be had just by eliminating the junk and STARTING to bring in the raw foods and juices. Cut yourself some slack and trust the food to help push you along and gain some energy back. Be patient with yourself...it took years to create your current level of health, so....doesn't it seem sensible that it may take a few years to turn things completely around? It may. Trust the process, take the baby steps, and keep moving forward! (I'm not preaching, I want to be encouraging and.... I'm smiling...... and I hope you are too!)

Homemade raisin experiment

I have wild grapes growing in the backyard. They are tiny (about 1/4" in diameter) and have seeds inside. Until now, I've usually just grabbed a bunch to nibble as I walk past the garage. But.....

Last week I got the crazy idea of picking a bunch of them and putting them in the dehydrator for a few days. I really didn't know what to expect. Would the seeds ruin them as raisins?

Well, they turned out fantastic! I can't believe how tasty and wonderfully crunchy these raisins are..... I'm getting… Continue
