Date: December 27, 2013 02:18AM Flowers may only form a small part of the diet, but l feel they are important for the following reasons.
Colours They come in pink, yellow and a spectrum of unusual colours, and colours are important in diet because they pick up different frequency waves. Electrical frequency and trapped sunlight as reported by Dr Valerie Hunt In the 1970's Dr Hunt was reported to have done a bunch of life changing experiments on plant frequences at UCLA. She and Dr Brian Clement classified foods into categories according to trapped sunlight and electrical frequency of food as a measure of the true energy output of a food. 5 star foods were the most valued, while 1 star foods were the least valued for energy/frequency output. The more 4 and 5 star foods you have, the more the impact on the body for health. This is some of what they found: 5 star foods - flowers - sea vegetables - microgreens (cereal grass {wheatgrass etc}, sunflower greens, buckwheat lettuce, pea shoot greens - blue-green and green algaes - weeds - pineapple, mango and various tropical fruits (but only if they are ripe and fresh, otherwise the star rating dramatically drops and soon becomes a 0 star food 4 star foods - alfalfa sprouts - brocolli sprouts and other sprouted greens that aren't grown on soil - sprouted mung and adzuki beans - various FRESH fruits 3 star foods - FRESH green vegetables (spinach, brocolli, collards etc, but they must be garden picked or else the star rating drops) - various FRESH fruits - sprouted seeds like sesame, sunflower etc 1 star foods - dehydrated foods - nuts (some can also be 2 star) - various fruits - starchy vegetables Don Tolman also reports the benefits from a small amount of a certain food can stay in the body for one year, that's why various foods come in season once a year. These are three reasons why l reckon flower power is important.It's always good to focus on the 4 and 5 star foods, but some of the 1, 2 and 3 star foods are good too. www.thesproutarian.com Edited 1 time(s).

Is it the same with flowers or do flowers retain electrical frequency for longer? Also, could you provide an easy step-by-step on how to grow wheatgrass? I know I ask a lot of questions but I've already learned so much and this is the type of lifestyle I want to live so I'm trying to educate myself as much as possible for now and in the future Spiritual awakening/enlightenment is becoming more and more of a focal point for me.

Date: December 27, 2013 03:15AM How could that be? I've listened to David Wolfe in many different speeches/interviews go into extreme detail on not only the nutritional/medicinal benefits of mushrooms but also how they have the ability to heal other plants and how extremely important they are to the earth.

The star rating l give is just a basic guide. Some foods like sprouted chia would be a 3 star food, but the various things in the plant give great health benefits. l am sure mushrooms are the same, they have unique properties in them that are health building. Brian Clement says the same. Cacao, Agave, Mushrooms...Are They Healthy? [www.youtube.com] l'll listen to Woofy now. l have heard him rave about mushrooms before and l am sure he is right.

The grasses, sunflower greens, buckwheat lettuce, pea shoot greens are the big guns. Have the other juices as a compliment to those juices. Chia grass is highly recommended during winter to keep you toasty warm and brighten the spirits during the cold months. The green sprout juices are the backbone to a good raw food diet. Have a minimum of 16 oz per day and go up to 32 oz if you can, and go higher if you are unwell. They are wonderful. www.thesproutarian.com Re: Flower power from a flower diet

Date: December 27, 2013 08:34AM RULES FOR EDIBLE FLOWERS – VERY IMPORTANT:
1. Not all flowers are edible. Some are poisonous. Learn the difference. 2. Eat flowers only when you are positive they are edible and non-toxic. 3. Eat only flowers that have been grown organically. 4. Do not eat flowers from florists, nurseries or garden centers unless you know they’ve been maintained organically. 5. Do not eat flowers if you have hay fever, asthma or allergies. 6. Do not eat flowers growing on the side of the road. 7. Remove pistils and stamens from flowers before eating. Eat only the petals of the larger flowers. 8. Introduce flowers into your diet the way you would new foods to a baby – one at a time in small quantities. 9. The flowers may be edible, but that does not mean that the berries and leaves are edible. Note: Pregnant women should avoid all strong herbs and no plant should be ingested in excess by anyone at anytime. None of these plants should be eaten unless they have been grown organically. Some of the more common EDIBLE FLOWERS* in your garden: Angelica Anise Hyssop Apple Blossom Artichoke Arugula Bachelor Buttons (Cornflower) Banana Basil Bee Balm Borage Burnet Calendula Carnation Chamomile Chicory Chives Chrysanthemum Cilantro / Coriander Citrus Clover Cornflower / Bachelor Buttons Dandelion Daylily Dianthus Dill Elderberry English Daisy Fennel Freesia Fuchsia Gardenia Garlic Geraniums Gladiolas Hibiscus Hollyhock Honeysuckle Hyssop Iceland Poppy Impatiens Jasmine Johnny Jump Up Lavendar Lemon Verbena Lilac Linden Mallow Marigold Marjoram Mint Mustard Nasturtium Oregano Okra Onion Orange Blossom Pansy Passionflower Pea Pineapple Sage Primrose Radish Red Clover Redbud Rose Rosemary Rose of Sharon Runner Bean Safflower Sage Savory Scented Geranium Snapdragon Society Garlic Squash Blossom Sunflower Sweet Marigold Sweet William Thyme Tuberous Begonia Tulip Viola Violet Winter Savory Yucca An Incomplete List of POISONOUS FLOWERS* Commonly Found in the Garden: Aconite Anemone Anthurium Atamasco Lily Autumn Crocus Azalea Baneberry Bead Tree Belladonna Black Locust Black Snakeroot Bloodroot Boxwood Buttercup Butterfly Weed Caladium Calla Lily Carolina Jasmine Castor Bean Cherry Laurel Chinaberry Christmas Rose Clematis Daffodil Deadly Nightshade Death Cammus Delphinium Dogsbane Dumbcane Elephant Ears False Hellebore Four O’clock Foxglove Gardenia Gloriosa Lily Golden Chain Tree Goldenseal Heavenly Bamboo Henbane Horse Chestnut Horse Nettle Hyacinth Hydrangea Iris Ivy Jack-in-the-Pulpit Jerusalem Cherry Jessamine Jetbead Jimson Weed Jonquil Kentucky Coffee Tree Laburnum Lantana Larkspur Leopardsbane Lily of the Valley Lobelia Marsh Marigold May Apple Mescal Bean Mistletoe Monkhood Morning Glory Mountain Laurel Nightshade Ohio Buckeye Oleander Periwinkle Philodendron Poinsettia Poison Hemlock Potato Privet Rhododendron Rock Poppy Schefflera Spring Adonis Star of Bethlehem Strawberry Bush Sweet Pea Tobacco Tomato (blooms) Trumpet Vine Wahoo Water Hemlock Wild Cherry Windflower Wisteria Wolfsbane Yellow Allamanda Yellow Oleander [www.rawbc.org] Re: Flower power from a flower diet

------------------------------------------------------- > Also, can you overdo green juices? Yes. l wouldn't do anymore than 32 oz, but since you are still cleansing you would be much better to do much less, perhaps 16 oz and no more. Drinking juices can be safe if done properly. They need to be rotated and the same juices should not be had everyday. They are all perfectly safe when rotated. The key to doing green juices well is to know about the plant. So juices like wheatgrass can only be had 5 days per week, because the alkaloids reach peak time during the jointing stage where the nutritients reach their peak, so if we have it everyday we get alkaloid build-up and it's negative effects. Then we have alfalfa sprout juices with all it's phenols and the nasty tannins, that drink always dries the mouth because of the high levels of tannin, and l am sure it's full of alkaloids too. The only way to tame that drink is to add rejuvalic, that breaks down the tannins and the mouth does not get dry. 2 - 3 days per week. Then we have the peas shoots with their extreme high alkaloid level. That can knock you around if you have too much. 3 - 4 days per week. Buckwheat has things in it too. No more than 2 - 3 days per week. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/27/2013 12:49PM by The Sproutarian Man. Re: Flower power from a flower diet

It really has a nice effect too. It really mellows you, but gives you good lasting energy where you feel strong. It also has a unique impact on the mind that other green juices don't have. I would not start by having that much. Maybe 8 oz - 20 oz might be good to a try for a once a week treat. The effect of wheatgrass juice on the mind is more mellow, but it is there, it has a really special X factor that does something to you when you have that juice, it really is pretty special..definitely have your wheatgrass juice. But mix the wheatgrass with another juice because it is very very strong, and only start with 1 - 2 oz of this grass juice. How do you grow wheatgrass? [www.wheatgrassgreenhouse.com] > How much green sprouts would you need to make > 16/32 ounces of juice? It vary depending on juicer. One 16 by 12.5 inch tray = 8 onze - 10 oz of juice. One three liter jar of green sprouts = 8 oz of juice Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/27/2013 01:03PM by The Sproutarian Man. Re: Flower power from a flower diet

Still searching for the appropriate raw dressing. What would we call the one into eating mostly flowers? The Flowerian as in the Sproutarian? Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/27/2013 03:17PM by RawPracticalist. Re: Flower power from a flower diet

I'll have sunflower greens, broccoli/alfalfa sprouts, and wheatgrass on the way shortly, all amazingly healthy things I had never considered growing myself. The more you look into it the more it makes more and more sense to consume mostly green sprout/grass juice, algae like chlorella and E3 Live and sea vegetables (well, sea veggie powder for me lol). Isn't 'wild' grass juice extremely healthy as well and what kinds of grass would fall into this category? Also, what do you store sprouts in after you harvest them, would a ziplock bag be okay or would you run the risk of BPA or other chemicals coming in contact with your sprouts? When it comes to sesame seeds, do you think these would be okay (http://shop.livingnutz.com/Organic-Sesame-Seeds-16oz-Sesame-16oz.htm) to sprout, and how can you tell when they're ready to eat?

Date: December 27, 2013 04:24PM Do flowers retain their electrical frequency for longer or does it also reduce immensely shortly after being picked? Also, do you usually drink green juices straight or do you mix them with anything? What could you mix with wheatgrass? When it comes to soil, what would you recommend? Can you use only earthworm castings for sunflower greens? Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/27/2013 04:32PM by jtprindl. Re: Flower power from a flower diet

Date: December 31, 2013 01:51AM Ordered all my sprouts/equipment today...
I plan on growing sunflower greens in vermiculite growing medium/earthworm castings and wheatgrass in the vermiculite. How much is a good amount of broccoli and alfalfa seeds to sprout at the same time? 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup or what? Also, are there better soils to use? Re: Flower power from a flower diet
