Re: [Biofuel] Closed-Mindedness (Was Hypnosis asAnesthesiaWasTestimonials as Evidence)
Hi D .. Actually, I believe that so much we are given is given to allow us the opportunity to Learn .. and learning can cover a lot of territory. We either get it or we don't and when we don't .. that lesson comes back again and again. Tonight, one of my business partners and I were talking about either that film or one very similar she had either seen or heard about while in Maryland .. but I thought she said that there were 3 healers working at the same time while the tumor was actually being filmed .. 3 inch tumor .. sorry that's all I remember about that brief discussion. Definitely want to see that film!! .. and not that it matters if there were 1, 3 or 15 healers commanding a physical tumor to be gone .. it was done .. WOW!! .. and now we have some contacts and hopefully will soon be obtaining it. Having been raised in a fundamental christian religion I was always told that if I really wanted something I should pray for it .. if I didn't get it then my Faith wasn't strong enough. Perhaps that's why I've become such a fan of Dr.Emoto's work in Messages from Water. His discovery of Positive vs. Negative and their effect on water took that sunday school lesson of guilt and just pitched it out the window .. Thank you Dr.Emoto!! Also having been raised in a household of 3 Chemical Engineers .. President of Solvey (division of Allied Chemical at the time), Head of Patients of Union Carbide before her retirement (and before Dow), .. and brother .. keeper of records of ALL those tests that are done before something is marketed for at least 3 different chemical companies. Such a vested interest in acknowledging the PHYSICAL and ONLY THE PHYSICAL concerning what life and living is all about .. not to mention a vested interest in making a profit at whatever cost .. called the bottom line. This was Table Talk .. you know, family gatherings like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. BUT with that film of the eradication of a physical tumor .. whoever made it .. takes that Only The Physical concept and also does a pitching out of windows action .. humm .. I like it!! Some days I am so grateful to be living in today's emerging awareness that so much of what we have be taught to be ABSOLUTE is more of a MAYBE .. or even a maybe. I know so many people who do this stuff on a daily basis .. really good ones. I repeatedly see physical results from psychic connections and I find such a sadness when those in authority will not act on information and life is actually lost .. such blindness. Mary Lynn Rev.

I saw one woman, a psychic, from California in a documentary, I think on the Learning Channel. Anyway, she was filmed for the test. She was presented a person with a disease. That is all she knew. First she located the area of the disease. It was in the abdomen and she found the diseased area quickly. It was a cancerous tumor. Then she worked on the area using energy techniques (Reiki, Qi Gong?). The camera switched over to infrared. As she worked on the man, you could see the tumor shrinking. She did not touch the man. Within an hour the tumor had essentially disappeared. This is not science but it was very dramatic. This documentary was filmed in Japan, I believe. I don't remember the woman's name. Maybe someone else has details on this? It was perhaps three or four years ago when I saw this. I think being sick with a dis-ease happens to get our attention to teach us something. Peace, D.

Re: [Biofuel] Tung Oil Risks
Hello Janet Good Afternoon, I hope that everyone is using adequate safety precautions when handling materials. Tung oil, rich in phorbol esters, has been implicated in the initiation of pharyngeal cancers and the activation of Epstein-Barr virus. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrievedb=PubMed; list_uids=6297709dopt=Abstract Many of the fumes from the basic oil stocks are carcinogenic, especially in relation to the leukemias and lymphomas. Methanol is highly neurotoxic. Yes but. Please see: More about methanol http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#moremeth ... With information from: United Nations Environment Programme / International Labour Organisation / World Health Organization: International Programme On Chemical Safety, Environmental Health Criteria 196 - Methanol, from IPCS INCHEM, Chemical Safety Information from Intergovernmental Organizations, in cooperation with the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) and elsewhere. The biggest problem is with inhalation and contact. Most people don't take the risks seriously. Yes they do. On the other hand, many people overestimate the risks and overreact, which isn't much use either. Please also see: Safety: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#safe Hazards: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_processor.html#haz When processing, it is easy to get accustomed to fumes and spills. From a health standpoint, fume inhalation is especially risky when one has a cold or the flu. Working in a very well ventilated area Work with closed processors. and using the highest degree of cleanliness only takes a little planning and care and pays the greatest of dividends. Safety and hazards have been a strong emphasis from the beginning. Safe processes and safe equipment and practices have been the standard here for quite a long time, the practices people here use (or should be using) are effective and safe, and continue to improve. The homebrewer casualty rate in seven years seems to be zero. I don't think anybody is being exposed to tung oil fumes. Jim isn't heating the stuff, just using it as varnish, which people have been doing for a very long time without ill-effect. I don't think anybody tries to process tung oil into biodiesel. Many of the fumes from the basic oil stocks are carcinogenic There's no exposure with closed containers, but please tell us of any carcinogenic or other hazards you know of from exposure to the fumes of the basic oil stocks at the usual process temperature of 55 deg C. If we're facing hazards at that temperature, what's the hazard level in the average kitchen? Depending on the temperature, the thermal degradation of vegetable oils is a polymerisation (200-300 deg C), a degradation of vegetable oils into acrolein, ketene, fatty acids then formation of alcanes, alcenes above 300 deg C and finally a formation of a gas-liquid mixture from around 500 deg C up. http://www.nf-2000.org/secure/Fair/F484.htm FAIR-CT95-0627 - Advanced Combustion Research for Energy from Vegetable Oils (ACREVO) Best wishes Keith Addison Journey to Forever KYOTO Pref., Japan http://journeytoforever.org/ Janet - Original Message - From: Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 10:55 AM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Polymerization of BD- more than copper to be concerned with.

Re: [Biofuel] Polymerization of BD- more than copper to be concerned with.
Hi Jim Hi Keith, I guess I am spoiled with the hydrolized oil I use that is mixed with about 50 % animal fat. Yes, I guess you are spoiled! :-) But I must use a heated system in winter as I gel around 45 degrees F. So winterizing is my big project now. It's one reason we fitted the Elsbett system. We use SVO in summer until the temp hits about -5 deg C (23 deg F), then we switch to biodiesel. The Elsbett pre-heating has kept the biodiesel flowing freely through quite long periods at -12 to -15 deg C (10 to 5 deg F), haven't had a gelling problem yet. I don't know how far that would apply to 50% animal fat biodiesel though. A lot better than 45 deg F I think. Let me know how you do with the Venturi. Certainly I will, thanks.

I've done no work with biodiesel for the last five months other than make it as needed, but the other work (farm) is winding down in October and then I'll be able to pick up some of the things I've been putting aside, including the venturi. All best Keith I have been wrong before and submit this premise to the greater minds of the list for scrutiny. Interesting subject this.

I assume it will still oxidize even without the copper in constant contact. There is sure to be metal ions in the fuel from various sources. Now that the cold is here and I can only run B50 I'll slow down my production so I don't get ahead of myself like I did last winter.

I also understand that it is important to be clear when you are talking about things so closely related. Could you give me a quick overview of what exactly happens in the hydrogenation of oil and why that affects the gel point? ok I'll give it a shot. Liquids solidify when all the component molecules can nestle together. The more regular their structure, the more easily this will happen. Saturated fats have a more regular structure than unsaturated fats, hence their gel points are higher. the unsaturation in vegetable oil amounts to putting kinks in otherwise regular chains. Hydrogenation converts the source of the kinks- cis double bounds- to regular saturated chains, hence raising the gel point. to recap: saturated lipids, (usually from animal sources and called fats) regular structure, easy nestling, high gel point. unsaturated lipids ( usually from plant sources and called oils) irregular structure, difficult nestling, low gel point. unsaturated bonds + hydrogen--- saturated bonds (the process is hence hydrogenation) Jim bob allen wrote: you mean hydrogenated oil, hydrolyzed oil would be free fatty acids. the scold JJJN wrote: Hi Keith, I guess I am spoiled with the hydrolized oil I use that is mixed with about 50 % animal fat.
