Sea Buckthorn is a good one. Very hardy, grows in poor soil, and produces berries rich in A, C, and some E. Also is a fairly attractive plant. I got three on order (from Burgess), one male and two females. I look forward to using the berries to make smoothies and maybe do some canning. The plants do grow fairly large, around 8 ft. But I will have to likely wait three years before the berries come along. Peace, D.

http://nnlm.gov/pnr/uwmhg/comnames.html university of washington. http://www.crimson-sage.com/ they have a pdf catalog Stevia Stevia rebaudianaNative to Paraguay. A remarkable sugar substitute. Stevia's flavor is stable when cooked. You can use it in jams, canned fruits, cakes and cookies. Your own home grown will taste much better than store bought. Stevia is fast growing. It thrives in full sun and well drained soil. Pinch off the flowers as you would with basil. If Stevia is allowed to flower they droop and become dormant. Some studies have shown that it contains substances that inhibit tooth decay, increase mental alertness, decrease fatigue, improve digestion, regulates blood pressure, and is safe for diabetics. However it has not been approved by the FDA. Excellent sugar substitute for diabetics. My children love to nibble the leaves. Stevia is a tender perennial. Hardy to zone 9. My daughter has researche plants form eastern europe and sourced some. Will post more info later Also http://www.fungi.com/ they have kits I know people who grow them in their garage. http://www.fungi.com/kits/indoor.html The Reishi Mushroom PatchT Growing Temperature: 70-80° F Ganoderma lucidum, known as Reishi by the Japanese and Ling Chi by the Chinese, has long been sought after for its beneficial properties. Ling Chi is perhaps the most well renowned of all the medicinal fungi, represented in Asian art for thousands of years. Reputed to have many health stimulating properties, Western studies are increasingly authenticating what Eastern cultures have known for thousands of years-that this mushroom stimulates the body's immune system. Once grown, this mushroom is generally broken up, powdered and steeped in simple teas. Its flavor is strong, distinctive, and pleasant to most people.

We shall have to be self sufficient. I predict little success opposing the pharma corporations due to who owns them. Kirk "D.

The Codex is designed to harmonize to a lower standard. It invokes the precautionary principle in a really perverse way. It is embedded in CAFTA, btw.

The FDA is really the scourge of the earth wrt real healing. They want to constrain our health freedom entirely and have us to believe that only prescription drugs (chemo, radiation, surgery) are real medicine. Nothing is further from the truth! Peace, D.

Mike DuPree ----- Original Message ----- From: D. Mindock To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 3:30 AM Subject: [Biofuel] That bogus antioxidant study http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Can-Vitamins-Really-Kill-You--6508.aspx I just watched Dr Mercola who reported on the study that the media said proved that antioxidants do not lengthen life and may even kill you. He said that of the hundreds of studies that were chosen to be studied, they picked the most unfavorable ones, based on elderly patients who were in poor health. Also these people were only using synthetic anti-oxidants which are known to be a lot less effective than natural ones that the body easily recognizes and uses effectively. So, once again, the media has been a willing accomplice in softening up the public for the day (in 2009) when Big Pharma gets their most ardent wish fulfilled and all effective supplements are pulled of the shelves of U.S. health food stores. We must not allow this to happen. We can neutralize these untruths by writing to the editor, emailing the TV media news, and joining groups like Life Extension Foundation (LEF), the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), etc., and getting their newsletters. Writing your representative politicians could help too. Peace, D.
