having seen people with the lifelong crippling effects of polio I am really happy I got vaccinated against it too....I am sure whatever harm the vaccine did me is less than the disease....

Well I agree also that I wouldn't want to give most of the vaccines that are pushed on children ...same time I find it hard to believe prana that vaccines have had no part in stopping the spread of certain disease and its only due to better hygiene - just wondering where you learnt that....

Smallpox (and others) is no longer a threat in the world because of vaccinations.....I guess even if vaccines aren't that great for the body I have to be grateful for that....

I think you can get kits to grow reishi at home if you want to buy I don't know yet how easy it is - I am planning to try a few varieties. I think they can be grown on logs or on sawdust.

129. Re: Always tired
I'm not any kind of expert on the topic - the lion's mane mushroom was just something I came across - its seems to have some specific function for nerves - i'm not sure if the other medicinal mushrooms do.
But as far as if the myelin sheath can regenerate - I have read cases of people who through a gluten free diet have kept their MS in remission for many years and also recovered from quite dis

130. Re: Always tired
I was researching mushroom growing the other day as I'd like to have some mushrooms in my diet, and I came up with the fact that Lion's mane mushroom is supposed to be highly good for nerve regeneration and useful in MS. It is not something I have any experience with - I found it interesting though so thought I would mention it....

132. Re: Always tired
I can't say whether the sleeping and tiredness is a positive thing or not as I'm not an expert but I can say that the same thing happened to me after I did some fasting and then started eating more raw foods after. I was sleeping all the time and it was a real effort to pull myself out of the deep sleep I was getting.I also felt quite headachy. I was really irritated thinking I'd done myself harm

I wonder if you could try growing trays of amaranth in potting soil? dont know how it would work but my experience is that it is pretty unfussy about where its growing, how much light etc. as long as your indoor temperature isnt too cold.
I grow it in trays and cuts leaves for salads when the plants are small size (bigger than microgreen idea).

I also dont know the answer to this as by the time the permanent leaves come I suppose the original bean has totally changed. However since there are many other types of beans that you could use in the same way that would seem safer why not pass on the limas and try other types out?

Hi - as far as sunstar goes I would like to know what is coconut yoghurt!!
About breathariansim, living off sun energy I'm not really out to convince anyone of this - I have experienced too many things in life that scientists can't explain to find it difficult to believe but at the same time with anything like this it will always be controversial.

I have always learnt that candida can't live in acid environment and thrives in alkaline which is why if you have thrush, boric acid pessaries are one quite well known treatment.
I asked a naturopath in India where I live and took a fasting treatment about eating sugar /fruits and candida. he didnt think sugar would have that much effect unless you are a diabetic and unable to stabalise your blo

Hi - I am a bit confused by exactly what is WIFI as I'm not very well educated about this type of thing.
I have a broad band internet connection with a modem but it is wireless. is that the same thing as WiFI? Should I then be better using it with a cable and only using wireless in case of any special need?

Curry leaves and amla aren't essential - I have curry leaf tree in my garden and amla from the market here locally. Amla preserves its vitamin C in cooking or drying I think but fresh is nice although they're really hard to eat if you don't blend them into something - very bitter and sour mixed together.
I think the chutney always taste better when local women make it because they use a large

I have researched the topic of living on solar energy or breatharianism a little bit and there seem to be too many cases well studied for them all to be hoaxes.

Yes I do make coconut milk sometimes and its great - I just have to get better at opening them without depending on my husband to do it....
I guess the only kind of economical nuts/seed here relative to the economy I have are sesame seeds and peanuts but peanuts seem like something to have only in moderation...

I stayed in a naturopathy/ fasting centre here in India for about 2 weeks. They have a lot of diabetics there under treatment (diabetes is a huge problem here) and many of them are fasting - some for 2 weeks or so. They have a very good reputation of getting diabetics to control their condition very well. I wouldnt of course recommend someone diabetic doing that treatment alone but I just mean th

Hi, I live in India at the moment where raw food is not very common (even side salads). The one raw food I really like making here is coconut chutney (here called chowmundy although that is for sure not the correct spelling but how it's pronounced.It is not a sweet chutney but what is locally called chutney.
The basic version just involves ground coconut and chillis with some water and salt.

Hi - unfortunately no hemp seeds available here either - I suppose they might come here in about 10 years time or something!!
So when I was making a squash curry (not raw on that occasion) I took the whole seeds, put them in the grinder cup of the blender and blended them with some water, then strained it through a plastic mesh sieve.
The result was a not bad milk, but it didn't have a lot of

Wow! $8.90 - how many peanuts do you get in a pack? I pay about 50c equivilant for mine here!!
I can say the peanuts should definitely be raw because they sprout pretty easily and fast.
The afaltoxin thing is a little worrying so I suppose better to go easy on them...does anyone know if that is denatured by sprouting the peanuts??
