514. Re: Chaos gardening
Good idea CC. I believe this is the ultimate way to live. By planting all the seeds, you produce the diversity that's needed to develope new crops. Of all the seeds that grow and fruit, one would pick the best fruit to eat and then plant their seeds. With many people doing this, new crops would develope by the evolutionary method of diversity and selection.

515. Re: mucoid plaque...
I agree that nothing sticks to the walls of the intestines. But food will collect in pockets and distortions of the intestines, festering there forever and producing toxins. Of course everyone is well aware of the appendix, a pocket we are all born with, which can fill with food, never empty and become so acutely toxic that it threatens immediate death.

It's a common misconception among many would be fruitarians that seeds are fruit. By all definitions, common and botanical, the fruit is the container that holds the seeds; not the seeds themselves. For apples and peaches it is the outer sweet flesh, not the seeds. If someone served a "fruit" salad of apple seeds and peach pits a reasonable person would think them nuts.

Inspired by Uncommon Fruits for every garden by Lee Reich I ordered some Pawpaw and Jujube seeds from and hopefully will get them going this year. Pawpaw is hardy clear into Canada and Jujube is hardy to minus 25F. Pawpaw is called the northern banana, is native to the US, and is the northern most represenitive of the Custard Apple Family (soursop, cherimoya, sweetsop). Uncommon Fruits lists

520. Re: Sweetness!
The Agave plant stores energy for a massive flowering for years. Just before it flowers it can be tapped for aquamiel, the sweet sap ment for the massive sprout that was to be. This is a true sprout juice from the rapidly developing embryonic process in the plant, full of the simple sugars, amino acids, enzymes, etc that you would find in any sprout. It is sold in Agave growing areas in Mexico

FunkyRaw, The plant generally does not intend for the seed to be food. If swallowed the seed is intended to be passed thru the animal undigested. The seeds of apple, peach, apricot, and cherry contain cyanide and should not be broken into and eaten.

I'm also transitioning and my idea is to drink 6 - 16 oz of sprout and vegetable juices a day. Grass juice is the most nutritious followed by the juice of other sprouts and greens. Of course carrot juice is a health staple.

Great resource! Thanks.

I don't know the brand of my electric frypan. It has a cord with a temperature control unit that plugs into it. As a finely controlled heat source to put on the bottom of the oven it works well but would be too hot to put anything directly into it.

Instead of a light bulb for heat I use an old electric frypan that I can adjust to achieve the right temperature. A light should work OK also as you could adjust the temperature by increasing or decreasing the gap of the ajar door. Use a thermometer. 110 degrees is good. As for bacteria, the oven is more sanitary than a regular dehydrator because you can sterilize it by occasionally by turnin

530. Re: Fasting
In a healthy person the body will metabolize stored food reserves, fat, vitamins, minerals and protein in the liver, to keep blood nutrient levels at healthy levels. A healthy person can go on a prolonged water fast with good energy, living off of his/her stored reserves.

531. Re: Fasting
Grass juice is the key to avoiding loss of muscle. It gives you enough nutrition to avoid starvation while aiding in the healing process. Wheatgrass fresh or dried is excellent. Wild grasses work well and can be good tasting to boot.
I think the fruit fest is the top healing system. Eat a small amount of whole fruit and a small amount of grass, vegetable or green juice, just enough to keep

With the Hichiya let it ripen till quite soft. Cut in half. You will see clear and cloudy sections. The cloudy part is still unripe. Leave out in the air on the counter for a few days till it all becomes clear. The exposed part will dry nicely. This not only ensures full ripeness but improves the flavor over one left to ripen without air exposure.
When quite soft put in the freezer. W

I think you were onto the solution in your first post. Whenever my back acts up it's always because of digestive problems. Nuts are one of the worst offenders (along with cooked foods), difficult to digest and constipating. A cleanse will solve the problem if it's diet based. I think the best cleanse is the fruit fe

Acid rain only harms a plant by making the soil too acid. As long as the grower limes his soil to neutralize the acid no harm is done. The fruit will be just fine.
ed: This link outlines the problems toxic metals like mercury that acid rain commonly contains cause to crops. The acidification of the soil can also dissove aluminium that poisons the plant and anyone that eats it.
