One of the funniest stories I've ever seen in a health talk (2 minutes long from 18:30-21:30) Dr. Niel Barnard told about how he gave a talk to texas ranchers in the middle of cattle county about eating a vegan diet to reverse heart disease and he got booed.
Then he said "Look you guys, you can heckle me as much as you want to but this doesn't just cause heart attacks it also causes

Ok, I don't think anyone has listened to the interview
or read the transcript (the first part is the interesting part at the end they go off on other tangents).
Or they would be talking about avoiding calcium, they say that calcium basically turns you into a coral reef and on page 3-4 he goes on about little nanobacterias which use the calcium in your body to build coral reefs everywhere

I've always wondered if tatoos and piercings were subconcious reflections of the shots we get as babies and kids. Sort of an expression/acknowledgement of the pain we felt so we could bring the memories of the pain out into the open and get some closure.
There is also the fact that most of us got our skin cleaned right after birth and that cleaning is supposed to feel like rubbing sunburned s

The book said that transmutation is a process which can only be carried out in living things and which can't be duplicated in the lab.
But I looked hard to find a source that did not mention animal testing, I passed up a lot of great sites that do mention it, I guess I must have missed that reference, so I'm not interested in looking up experiments.

That's exactly what I thought too, suncloud, until yesterday. (Now it seems to me to be like "eating meat to get protein"
To clarify, they are saying that our bones are made out of silica, magnesium, and phosphorus which become calcium through transmutation and that silica is a better source of calcium than eating calcium.

It will probably take months or even a year for your body to absorb the stretched out skin. Just like when you have a baby you can't wear your old clothes for a few months but the skin eventually gets absorbed again.

Tobacco contains 2-3% nicotine which is a thousand times more than horsetail has at 0.00004% so yes it has MINUTE amounts of nicotine, but avoiding it because of it's nicotine content would be like avoiding almonds because of their cyanide content. But I'm sure some people would have problems with horsetail since there is always someone who can't take every herb so thanks for mentioning it.

I'm on David Wolfe's mailing list and I got this link about calcification:
He says that we should be building our bones out of silica, so when people ask you where you get your calcium send them this link. (excerpt from the PDF trascript)

I think it has something to do with the body's reaction to cooked foods getting in the way of assimilation. That 1% of cooked foods might trigger the immune system to produce anti-bodies to get rid of the toxins, it might trigger extra mucus which would coat the intestinal wall and reduce the assimilation of nutrients.
I don't know if this is true or not. She probably read it somewhere and is

From The New York Medical Journal (1899) Doctors talking about gallbladder sugery and their experiences with using oil to flush gallstones. I could probably pull up a lot of similar references. Liver flushing seems like a usefull thing. Yes?

What's the myth? There are gallstones and people get them out. There is build up of cholesterol and people get it out. Liver cleansing was the standard procedure until surgery came along. I've read more than one story like the following where liver cleansing info is found in old family recipe books. In the second story an old DOCTOR provided a woman with the recipe for a liver cleanse when she co

No, no not the hospital food. I meant the food additives that make us sick, the fluoride in the water, the hydrogenated oils that give us heart attacks and even the drugs that have bad side effects. I'm sure the nurses are NOT trying to make us sick.

Tamukha that's funny, but that is kind of what this Dutch Oven has been like; Surprise! You have a big white elephant.

I won a Dutch oven in a raffle. I don't need it and there was a person hurt at the same event so I thought I would sell it and give the money to her. It's about 25 pounds so I thought I would try to pawn it rather than eBay it.
I was wondering if the pawn shops would be interested in it and then I realized that they would love it because hunters would snap it up. It's a huge one so it's not w

I think every SADer is commiting suicide by the way they eat. It's the respectable way to commit suicide. You know when I do feel suicidal, I do think of SAD as being an option but, it's just so slow and painful.

To make this diet work you have to eat very simply, have most of your diet be just "peel and eat". Do things like buy frozen berries and dump them in a bowl and eat them and freeze bananas and wrap a paper towel around one end and eat them like popsicles.

DR it must be one of those things where you have to do it to understand it.
Oh, and I've come to the conclusion that the "mucoid plaque" is clear and that is the reason that there are "ropes" during cleansing. Yes most of the eliminated material is just the cleansing material but without the mucoid plaque it wouldn't be strong enough to be a rope. It's kind of like doing a

Debbie, if the stones from gallbladder flushes are not gallstones but instead are just the oil and lemon juice from the flush then wouldn't you get "fake gallstones" everytime you ate salad.
I could test this out so easily, one day I'll just eat oil and lemon juice mixture and and the next day I'll do the flush with the epsom salts. So according to you I'll get floating stones on bot

So now, when you buy a house, you have no way of knowing where there may have been broken lightbulbs and residual mercury. Better get new carpet everytime you buy a new house :-(.

What an interesting thread, especially since hubby recently replaced all the lights with fluorescents.
This site says to "cut out a piece of the carpeting" if the bulb breaks on the carpeting.
And it recommends LED lights, which sound like the best alternative once incandecents are phased out.

If you mix vegetable juice with something that they would normally eat (sugary drinks) she might eat juice. I know mixing sugary drinks into juice seems like an abomination but if she is going to drink it anyway why not add a little juice? I would start with 5-10% juice and give it a new name. For example don't call the pink apple juice with beet juice added "apple juice" anymore, it n

Are you mixing fruits with other things? If you do it ferments and that might be the cause of the bloating. Fruits need to be eaten alone and on an empty stomach, which is why eating fruit in the morning makes sense - your stomach couldn't be emptier than at that time.
