sooo cool. its called The Doctrine of Signatures, whch posits that, by observation, one can determine from the color of the flowers or roots, the shape of the leaves, the place of growing, or other signatures, what the plant's purpose was in the divine plan. and really compelling when you see the pictures, like so...
makes sense to me. i've read that a very high percentage of the plants that

lol on the six year old quote. kids are such riots!
thanks pakd, that helps alot. while a part of me feels i should just be "strong" (militant?) about it and allow no cooked food in the house--it would sure be easier on me--another part of me knows my kid and feels like that's not the way, because self-rule is so important to her. i agree never say 'you can't have x'. so i have just

575. Re: Perfect Food
i just thought y'all might find amusing what a Google search turned up under "perfect food":
* of course the first 11 listings are sites hawking Garden of Life's powdered greens supplement called "Perfect Food". that's called good marketing.
* an article that asks 9 nutrition "experts" to name their perfect food or dish, results being: (1) whole-grain corn puff

576. Re: vitimins
best way to find out is to email the companies directly and ask them (you may have to define raw for them... however you define it).
i don't take a general supplement. at first i did, out of habit. then i felt like dropping it, so i did. but i do take herbs "prescribed" by my ayurvedic practitioner to address specific imbalances, so you might consider that the same thing. the body is

green papayas are harvested before they show any signs of yellow/orange, and once picked that way they will not ripen. they are pretty hard, kind of the texture of a squash.
i love green papaya salad too, and i just bought 4 monster greens at the farmers market this weekend and have been shredding them up with lime juice, cilantro, jalapenos... yummy!

thanks for this! i always hear different things about consuming the seeds of the papaya. i've heard very healthy and also very toxic, not sure which way to go on this one. i always throw a few seeds in my smoothies...

1) term made popular by dr. steven pratt in his book of the same name, where he identified a short list of common foods that are super-loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, etc to prevent disease, improve physical and mental functioning, and delay the impairments of old age. blueberries and broccolli made the list, so did citrus fruits, spinach, and raw walnuts.

i have an old cheepie dehydrator that someone gave me, and i use it very seldomly. making crackers and the like would be more effort than i am interested in putting forth. i make crunchy onion rings out of yummy sweet maui onions that i like to throw on my salads for a fun texture. i rarely buy prepackaged dehydrated foods -- crazy expensive!

someone stepped over the line, but it sure wasn't greg.
you sound pretty stressed out, and surely an enlightened guy like yourself can recognize that as a signal that its time to question your own thinking. you may want to give yourself the gift of following your own advice. peace!
