#emp threat is preventable

5: co.fb/pol/energy/emp threat is preventable:
politico:

. EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack
can happen from a 150-yearly solar flare
not just nuclear terrorism
and it can send us to the stone age
by destroying our electrical grid's transformers
which take months or years to replace .
. there is a way to harden our grid
just as Canada has done,
but so far the usa is too cheap .
. we are due for a solar EMP attack,
and when that happens,
only the military will have electricity,
communications, and computing power .

 Mr.Bartlett spent 20 years as a congressman;
Now he's prepping for doomsday.

-- nice to see someone who should know
telling us what we should know:
emp is no joke .

Dr.Rupert Sheldrake`extended mind

that formed religions and theories of god .

#christian #meatless means less of warm-blooded

4: web.relig/christian/meatless means less of warm-blooded:

. according to historical records,
Jesus sacrificed his warm blood on a Friday .
. as early as the first century,
People have written of fasting on Friday
to commemorate this sacrifice .
. Technically, what's off limits on Friday
is the flesh of warm-blooded animals
explains Prof. Michael Foley, author of
Why Do Catholics Eat Fish On Friday?
. Fish and reptiles are coldblooded,
so Christians can eat them on Friday
even when they can't eat mammal meat .

nut trees for desert (not mac's) #xeriscape

4: web.apt`xeriscape/nut trees for desert (not mac's):
17: summary:
. I'm looking to grow cooking oil in the desert;
the healthiest is the mac nut (macadamia).
. avocados are heavy in palmitic fat;
and other nuts have a bit too much omega-6 .
. olives are difficult to process,
brazil nut fat is good only for selenium,
(the anti-cancer cysteine-bound form),
better to get that from brocolli and onions .
. so, what can I grow in the desert,
around Tucson AZ -- zone 12 ?

3rd-party tested #probiotics

4: web.cook/probiotics/3rd-party tested products:
. probiotics are capsules of live germs;
they are notorious for delivering dead germs .
. is there any 3rd-party testing going on?
. here's truflora with regular 3rd party testing;
others just claims spotchecks by ConsumerLab.com .

USANA® Probiotic
Receives ConsumerLab.com Certification
-- Sixth Stamp Of Approval From Third-Party Testing .

Dr. Mercola Complete Probiotics 
was also listed as tested by ConsumerLab.com
and I'm betting it got a good review .

17: current practice:
. go to your health food store, and try
refrigerated gardenoflife`RAW Probiotics .
. it has a certain variety of germs that will
pull me out of depression,
but they can also overstimulate my thyroid,
causing a bit of anxiety (leave it in your mouth,
and if you have any oral sores (or leaky gut?),
a lot of germs can get to your thyroid gland .
. I use this everyday like it was sunshine;
but I've been sunburned a few times .

 

leaky gut related to #autism #GAPS

2: news.health/probiotics/leaky gut related to autism:
DECEMBER 5, 2013 sciencenews.org:

Leaky intestines and an abnormal mix of gut microbes
may contribute to autism symptoms,
a study of mice suggests.
A skewed mixture of intestinal microbes results in
high levels of certain chemicals,
including one similar to a compound found in
the urine of some children with autism,
researchers report in the Dec. 19 Cell.
Mice with autism-like behaviors
also have leaky intestines,
which allow the chemicals to
build up in the animals' blood, the team found.
Giving the mice beneficial bacteria
reduced gut leakiness
and improved some abnormal behaviors,
suggesting that some children with autism
might benefit from probiotic treatments.

Google "sick monkeys" + Autism
[ http://www.ageofautism.com/2008/05 ]
to learn about vaccine overload research.
When the same kind of monkeys that are used to test
individual vaccines
are given all of them the way we do our kids
they develop the same kind of
social difficulties & painful gut problems.

Israel advances desalination

11: pol/desalination/Israel advances desalination:
desalination can be mainstreamed:

. Israel desalinizes water for a cost of
53 cents per cubic meter;
desalinizing 1,000 US gallons (3,800 L) of water
can cost as little as $3 .
. modern technologies, such as
the Seawater Greenhouse,
use solar energy to desalinate seawater
for agriculture and drinking uses
in an extremely cost-effective manner.

alternet 2010:

. by 2014, Israel's desalination plants
might provide 33% of their drinking water.
. reverse osmosis technology
is used by the Hadera plant
(the world's largest using such technology);
it does not involve heating the sea water .

High-Gristle Diet

10: health/High-Gristle Diet:
. I was reading on page 93 of Harley's Monroe 2013
about the "high-gristle diet".
. you might think think he is kidding,
going from veganism to "sausage",
but there is some science behind it .
. sausage and hotdogs are given as
typical sources of gristle;
but, the ideal convenience product is gelatin .
Dr. Ray Peat points out that gelatin has
a different amino acid profile than meat,
and that the two complement each other .

. if anyone is going to be eating animals,
they need to start with the whole animal,
not just the muscle meat;
say, by adding "5 or 10 grams of gelatin"
to a large meat portion .
. "gelatin is a protein which contains
no tryptophan, and only small amounts
of cysteine, methionine, and histidine.
Using gelatin as a major dietary protein
is an easy way to restrict the amino acids
that are associated with many of the
problems of aging" .
