yes; you should do what feels right; did not mean to put your habits under the microscope....


The Caribbean indeed seems tempting to me; we all need sunshine....

I have changed my diet so much -- always finetuning-- I can't always remember what my decisions were, or why.... I guess I decided here to get cholesterol from egg yolks, mainly, and let the body absorb the rest that dairy offers-- vitamins A and D; K; etc, from other foods. The ghee ultimately seem...

I looked back at my notes and the Wulzen factor is stigmasterol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmasterol It looks like as you say, cold-process butter oil is a good concentrated source of several things, including clean cholesterol-- but K1 and K2, as well as stigmasterol-- everything but the chol...

Dear Fictor, I used to eat ghee with no oxidized cholesterol (it was produced at just low enough a temperature, according to its label, as to result in only 'clean' non-oxidized cholesterol) and at that time looked up butter oil in many sources. I could never figure out what the 'Wulzen' factor or s...

The centrifugal juicer I have certainly would seem to 'beat up' protein more than a masticating juicer. The pulp is finely, finely ground and there is heat generated-- certainly more heat than in a blender-- before the centrifuging action occurs. I am sure that these are subjective impressions that ...

I have used Staphysagria (homeopathic) for pain; it is a very good remedy.

What you conjectured about arabinose seems sound; it decreases as fruit ripens. The ripest fruit is of course the healthiest; the most desirable... this is another reason why. Here is a study that notes that arabinose decreases greatly as red Bell peppers (sweet peppers; capsicum) ripen: http://www....

I like yolks so much I use them to dress up things I am less keen on... I suppose it could work the other way around for you. I will eat anything, anything, anything from the sea (which is by rights delicious by itself, but sometimes the cut is not good, or the freshness peak) with raw yolks over it...

Light Years Ahead: The Illustrated Guide to Full Spectrum and Colored Light in Mindbody Healing (Paperback) - by Brian Breiling (Editor) is a good book. Also, English-language books by John Ott, if you do not have them already. Good health is very much correlated with proper exposure to natural ligh...

yes; in the U.S.; just near the border to Canada...

Full-spectrum bulbs and outdoor time are a way of life to me.

I bought a lot of extra clothes to be able to spend more time outside.

I think I'm done now

The Toothsoap is excellent and you will do very well to use it over time, I think. Reducing artificial lighting, not having a television, and limiting time on a computer, as well as using full-spectrum lights, has not just affected my skin; teeth-- it is an overall feeling, better sleep cycles, and ...

I wanted to simply summarize all the postings from me above... A) I avoid, and avoided, arabinose and high-sucrose foods while treating for Candida. 1) The arabinose sources I ran into the most included: agave nectar, apple and carrot juice with pulp; pears, peanuts (I know they are not included on ...

you can rinse after eating these acidic foods. At the same time I started Wai, I overhauled my use of artificial lighting, too, using full-spectrum lightbulbs (yes; we are told to use compact fluorescents for energy conservation, but I ignored that) as going outside a LOT more. Light has a tremendou...

Are the olives cured (no salt; naturally) before being pressed for oil? Because with out curing they are bitter/not as edible; they need to be cured in some way before being consumed. For olive oil I suppose this is done; otherwise those bitter substances (antinutrients) would be in the oil. I do no...
