This globalwarmingart.com site has some nice images done by a physics PhD. This one shows atmospheric co2 over the last 500 million years, as opposed to other graphs showing it over the last 50, 100 or 500 thousand years. Co2 has varied a lot over the ages, up to 20 times what's in the atmosphere today (notice the huge error bars) --

From the Hacres/Donaldson 2004 cancer study --
Oral Enzymes
Many people diagnosed with cancer have digestion or intestinal tract disorders as well. Impaired digestion will greatly hinder a nutritional approach to treating cancer. If the nutrients cannot be released from the food and taken up by the body, then the excellent food provided by the Hallelujah Diet will go to waste. Digestive enzym

"Jaspee de Vendee". (It's a Pepo-type squash, for those of you who are gardeners.)"
I'm so glad that worked out for you, Horsea, and will try to remember the "Jaspee de Vendee" winter squash variety for next season.
You'll never guess what I juiced this morning, a sugar pumpkin.. seeds and all - not bad.

Pre-digestion is also discussed in rawfoodexplained (how digestion works). That helps validate enzyme theory for me, the half hour or so our food sits in the stomach while the body is deciding how to proceed, during which plant enzymes can do whatever they do. Then stomach reaction varies; many raw foods, like a mono watermelon meal, might pass through without facing much an acidic environmen

The International Panel on Climate Control (IPCC) was caught referencing a magazine article where an Indian scientist was saying that in 35 years the Himalayan glaciers could be gone. That's against IPCC policy to reference popular print articles (that are not peer reviewed science) and the Indian scientist later said the IPCC should not be quoting from magazines. The IPCC said that was a mista

The Royal Society of the UK is somewhat analogous to the American Physical Society, and they have just come out with a new statement on climate change in response to a petition of some of their membership. The new statement acknowleges more the uncertainty in climate science saying we don't know exactly how climate has changed in the past or how it will in the future. I sort of liked their old

129. Re: Big Science
Parallel universe means different things to different people. Some of the dimensions in string theory happen at a scale so small they can't be measured.
Some believe in a multiverse where "big bangs" have happened elsewhere in infinite space.
I like to believe there are infinite universes like our own. It's like the argument some used in antiquity against the idea of the star

Omega used to talk of a parallel dimension where the spirit resides, the idea being that when you think about all the information we carry in our heads it just doesn't seem possible, and so our thought life might actually exist in a spiritual realm.

"Political correctness and other pressures to “go along” are one thing. But aggressively tying one’s corporate fate to such things as carbon (energy) rationing is another matter entirely. So far, the track record of such companies is not good."

So the origin of the theory and name for the 19th c diagnosis hysteria can be traced as far back as ancient Greece where the word for uterus was hystera, and the diagnosis of hysteria is less frequent today, and the word hysteria possibly having become "loaded". It's easy to see why.

I'm envious of your seed selection, Horsea. Have you tried juicing it? I have with butternut, hubbard, acorn and other winter squashes and am never dissapointed. I juice the flesh and seeds w/ husk (all fresh and gooey) all together making a drink with much the same consistency as milk.

The IPCC has wonderful presentation skills, I'll give them that. Of course there are programs that help scientists fit their data to form that appearance.

"It was the best prediction equation until 1990, when MD Mifflin and ST St Jeor introduced the equation... During the last 100 years, lifestyles have changed and a survey in 2005 showed it to be about 5% more accurate (than the Harris-Benedict BMR equation)."

rawgosia, in context the Wikipedea article was saying that due to modern lifestyle changes the Harris-Benedict equation is 5% more accurate (today than it was then), without mentioning how accurate it was considered in 1918. I looked it up and found the standard deviation used by H-B listed in
