Maya, I was wondering about this Holosync. I went to their web site and filled in the info for the free CD. Does this stuff really work? Do you have to use headphones? I want to try it on my daughter. She is only 3; I don’t think she will keep headphones on, but she will listen to any music. Tina.   [End]

People who say to wear magnets on various parts of the body to increase circulation. People like Alex Chiu - http://alexchiu.com/eternallife/alexchiu.htm. Is this healthful, or dangerous? I saw it on the Life Extension forum. Thanks, Tina   [End]

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this today, and hardly tasted any of the cayenne; you were right! I was looking for a good way to be able to take more cayenne since I get cold easily and want to improve my circulation. How often do you do this? Is there such a thing as too much cayenne? Can I do it 2-3 times a day, or should once be good enough? I have Dr. Schulze’s cayenne also, it’s very potent. Thanks, Tina.   [End]

I know I read that on some natural health web site or newsletter. It just goes to show that you can’t believe everything you hear (or read). It was probably someone who was just making that up to try to discredit his diet. Tina.   [End]

Hi, First I must say that I am not an expert by any means. I don’t know if the Paleo diet is good long-term or not, as I did not study the ancient peoples and do not know their life-span or general health. But I do know that some people think that they are eating ”Paleolithic” food when, in fact, they are not. Just as humans are what they eat, so too are the animals. If the cow you ate was organic and grass-fed, then that was a paleolithic meal, as the cow ate a paleolithic diet also. But, if the cow was a standard american grain-fed cow, then it is not a paleolithic meal (in my ...

Yes, I buy this brand in Fair Trade also. You can get it online at http://www.sunorganic.com if you cannot find it locally. I don’t know if the web site states that it is fair trade, but that’s what I got when I ordered it. It is in the ”Sweetener” section. It tastes very good. Tina.   [End]

I enjoy eating plain parsley. In fact, if I am feeling run down and I eat some fresh parsley, I feel so much better within minutes. I read it is high in iron, which may be the reason, but I have had my iron tested and it is ”fine”. My 90+ year old grandmother thinks this is horrible! She thinks you should never eat parsley except as a seasoning. My mother said that in the town they grew up in in Italy, parsley was used to induce a miscarriage in an unwanted pregnancy. Do you think it is okay for women to eat a lot of parsley? I will most likely never be pregnant, since I had a t ...

A friend of mine was teaching me how to make miso soup - Take one chunk of the dark green chunky konbu (kelp) and put it in a pot of water. Turn the burner on and cook until 2-3 minutes after boiling. Remove from heat and remove the chunk of konbu. Wait about 5 minutes and then add a spoonful of miso. Taste it and add more miso if you like. While still hot, add fresh sliced mushrooms or sea vegetables. Enjoy! One of the sea vegetables I bought was a different species of konbu that is an off-white color with a greenish tinge (she said it tastes much better than the chunky green ki ...

The olive leaf extract is anti-fungal/anti-bacterial. I used this for my son because his problem may have been fungal based. When he was a baby, he drooled a lot and got a similar condition on his chest. The doctor at the time suggested we put Monostat (a yeast infection creme for women) on it. We did this and it cleared right up (I wasn’t into natural medicine back then). When he got it all over his body, I did not want to use Monostat. I had to put the olive leaf on him and in him every day, or his ”rash” came right back, so it was not a cure; a few weeks after we left Rhode Island ...

Gooner, You said that you live in the UK and do not go out much. Do you have a Vitamin D lamp? Do you take vitamin D supplements? One winter, we had to move to Rhode Island because my husband had some schools there. My son developed severe ezcema which was like sunburn all over his body. I am not absolutely sure, but I attribute it to a combination of lack of vitamin D and the quality of the water. I don’t know what your water is like, but when you wash your face, you should use distilled water. Also, I mixed olive leaf extract with some lotion and applied it topically, as well as ...

My daughter is just like you described your children. I do not allow any junk in the house. At my daughter’s school (she goes to a special needs preschool), I was horrified to see what they gave the kids at snacktime. I asked the teacher how the kids react after snacktime with all that sugar, and she said that their behavior does not change at all. Just to give you an example, one day they had corn pops, jello geletin and chocolate jello pudding. Well, I took it upon myself to mail-order and pay for organic and whole-grain snacks so that the kids would not be eating crap. My husband ...

The Japanese people are very nice. I live on an American base, but I go out into town 3-5 times a week. Everyone is polite and helpful. No one is rude or bad-tempered like in the USA. The ”small” city I live in has the approximate population density of downtown New York City. Even so, the crime rate is etremely low and most of the crimes are done by the American juvenille delinquints that are in the Navy and live on the base and get drunk and stupid when they are off-base. This may sound strange since I am obviously not Asian myself, but I feel like I fit in here so much better tha ...

Wow, I am very jealous now. I don’t think I would be good at trading. I can’t complain, though because after my husband finishes his 20 years in the US military, we will be free to move wherever we want (well, within the USA) and won’t have very many financial worries. I love moving and visiting new places. But, now that we have children, I do feel the need to find a more permanent situation (this is beyond my control for now, though). I think that visiting new places and seeing and studying new cultures is so enlightening. That’s one of the things I like about curezone. Though ...

Sofia, Japan is a wonderful place to live:-) I have never lived overseas before. I lived in: Philadelphia, Pa, Richland, Wa, Blacksburg, Va, Norfolk, Va, Monterey, Ca, and Newport, RI. Now I live in Yokosuka, Japan (just 45 minutes south of Tokyo). This is my favorite place so far. The people are all nice, it is safe, you can walk to anything (we don’t even have a car), and you can buy fresh, healthy food at any grocery store. Organic produce is difficult to come by, but I have been told that the Japanese do not use nearly as many pesticides as other countries and the soil here is ...

This makes sense to me. I have recently lost my craving for meat - unexplainably. Maybe because it’s summer now and I’m getting some sun. In any case, I do believe that most people need more vitamin D than they are getting (except maybe my little blonde daughter who would probably run outside naked in the middle of the winter if I let her). I was thinking of ordering a vitamin D lamp for this winter, but I haven’t found one yet that will ship to US Military bases overseas (FPOs). If anyone comes across one, please post a link to it:-) Thanks, Tina.   [End]

Last year, I was watching Zoom on PBS with my young son, who loves science. This is a science show degigned for young children. They were taking different fruits and vegetables and measuring the electricity in them with a voltmeter. My son was so excited about this, so we bought a cheap voltmeter from radio shack. My son has mutilated may fruits with his experimenting. We haven’t done it, but I read that you can power a light bulb with a raw potato or grapefruit. I haven’t tried it, but I assume that if you compare a control group of various raw fruits and veggies with a variable g ...

Can you give me a few examples of foods that have the most/best mixture of oils, fats, and complex carbs? I eat a lot of fruit and green leafies. ”Heavy” foods like grains (even sprouted) make me tired. What do you think about olives and avocados? But green olives are not ripe and the avocadoes are not plant-ripened, so are these not good? Thanks, Tina.   [End]

I was just told by someone Japanese that you can make a healthy vitamin broth by just boiling kelp with slices of lemon. I think I will make some now:-) Tina. I just made this broth. To me, it just tastes like a lemony herbal tea. I put two medium chunks of kelp, sliced up 1/2 lemon, and boiled it in filtered water for about 30 minutes. I highly reccommend it. Though, I have to say that I eat sea vegetables almost daily, so if you aren’t a sea vegetable fan, I cannot promise that you will like the broth. Okay, so I just talked to another japanese friend who said that the real ...

Well, I was inspired by this forum to go get myself some kelp. I went online and saw some that looked good. It was imported from Japan. Well, I am in Japan, so I decided to see if I could get some here. I talked to a friend who told me it is used as flavoring much the same way that americans use chicken stock in soup. I went out in town to try to find it, after writing it down in Japanese. I went to the mall to a little stand that had all kinds of dried fish and sea veggies. Konbu wa mottemaska? (Do you have any kelp?) The guy looked at me like I was crazy! Duh, of course we h ...

I ordered 10 pounds of chia seeds from sunorganic.com today (along with a few other items). I know that sounds like a lot, but I have to place all of my orders to last the summer now because my kids are about to get out of school. We do not have a car so when I walk to the post office to pick up my mail, I have to bring a dollie (one of those things that movers use) to get my heavier boxes. It is a big fat pain to get back from the post office with my daughter and son and packages - so I’m stocking up now. I was just wondering what is the best way to store these seeds - in the freeze ...

Thanks for the info. Do you know a good link for the body types you are referring to?

It’s funny, but I can walk past all of the bakeries and grills and be okay, but when I get to the grocery store and see all the sushi rice in all the prepared dishes they have, my mouth just starts to water and sometimes I cannot help myself!

I may try to make this bread for my kids when I am feeling more ambitious (maybe when school goes back in session in September). I have a difficult time eating a lot of complex carbs at once - I get really tired. I know, I do not get enough sleep but there isn’t anything I can do about that for now. I used to have high blood sugar, but whole grains aren’t really supposed to affect that so I don’t know why I still get so tired. Thanks, Tina.   [End]

Sono italo-americana. Io vivo in Japan. Esta piovendo siempre in primavera! Ma me piace vivendo. Sorry, my Italian is way rusty! If I tried to write any more, I would wind up mixing a few Spanish or Japanese words in there. My mother grew up in a small town near Reggio, Clabria. My father grew up in the US and doesn’t know much Italian. My mother didn’t teach us much because back then the ”experts” said that it was confusing to small children to learn two languages at the same time. Tina.   [End]

I also frequently eat sea vegetables - nori and wakame and a few others that I’m not sure what they are (I may be eating fresh kelp because one of the kinds I eat looks like the kelp pictures on the internet, but it’s hard to tell and I can’t read Japanese very well yet).

Thanks for your advice; I enjoy reading all your advice and I am healthier because of it. I have always been a small person and have never been able to gain weight no matter how much food I ate.

Do you think if I used jarred nut butters that were already ground, that I could make my shake with them and let it soak for a few hours in the refigerator? Or do the seeds/nuts have to be whole for this? When I make seed or nut bars, I always soak them first. But when making shakes I always use the pre-made butters or I grind the dry seeds in a coffee grinder. It is difficult to blend the soaked seeds, since I don’t have a super-duper blender. Maybe I should just make my shakes with fruit and superfood and eat seeds/nuts separately? Thanks, Tina.   [End]

Hi, I was just wondering which are healthier, seeds or almonds, and why. Also, what kinds of seeds are best? I had read somewhere that too many sunflower seeds are bad, (especially with an O blood type, which I am, but I am really not convinced of the blood type diet). I usually make myself a shake with berries, dates, and superfood once a day. To this, I add either raw sesame tahini or raw almond butter. Since the sesame is significantly less expensive than the almond, I usually use that. Sometimes I grind whole sesame seeds in a coffee grinder for my shake instead; should I add ...
