In this Chapter we will be talking about the second most abundant element in the Spinal Fluid and that is Sodium. More specifically we are not talking just about Sodium, commonly known as Salt, but a specific type of Salt called Sodium Chloride. So we sort of have to add a 3rd. most abundant element in on this chapter as well. There are all kinds of forms of Sodium and even just plain old Salt. But the most optimal form of Salt for a human being is Sodium Chloride. Yes, we can use just plain Salt, but then we have to go and find the Chloride to add to the mix. Sometimes that can be difficult to get the right one that will work with the Salt we are using and get it in the right ratios. So we just do it the easy way and just go with Sodium Chloride.

One of the interesting things about the Spinal Fluid is that unlike Blood, it is colorless. It also has a different chemical makeup than does blood. While some elements are similar in amounts with each of the two, many of the other...

Well as we move into the new year, it is time to start making plans as to just how the garden is going to start and evolve. I have noticed that seeds are starting to appear in the places that provides gardening supplies. However, most of the seeds are the early planting types of seeds for the most part. Other seeds will soon begin to appear. It would be a good idea to get with the program and get what you need purchased sooner than later. Last year we saw a run on just about every seed possible. I am sure with politics as they are, people will be panic buying big time. So I would suggest that you insert some urgency into your purchasing schedule. Basically for the vast majority, they won't cost you less later on, just that scarcity will be involved.

Leiann mentioned that a number of people asked what my favorite seed company was. Here goes; I really don't have one per se. But here is what I look at. I try to stay away from the big massive seed companies. Although not all the time,...

Today we are looking at the main individual components that make up the Spinal Fluid. With this, we will be looking at those ingredients in descending order from the largest ingredient to the smaller amounts of individual components. The Spinal Fluid amounts to about 500 ml. in the average person. This fluid gets changed on a regular basis at about an 8-hour interval, every single day. Of this fluid, about 99% of it consists of one component. The other 1% consists of about 44 minerals, around 300 oils, as in fixed type oils, and numerous other elements. Of course we won't be covering those, as in a post for each single one. Perhaps the most important thing that we must recognize about every aspect of our body is that the brain is the most important organ and the body will go to great lengths to do anything and everything it can do to protect the brain. The body will even deprive other organs of needed elements to support and protect the brain. If a person has an issue with the brain...

This new series of discussions about the brain will focus on mostly what an individual can do to support their brain and help to keep it sharp and functioning within normal parameters. I hope to keep each section or in this case, we will call them chapters short and to the point. In an effort to do so, we will cover some of the common points within this introduction so that we don't have to go over them again and again and discuss them in each chapter. However, we will refine the focus of this series to the spinal fluid as much as possible and will discuss each element in descending order by the quantity of each element among the major components of elements. It would be impossible to go through each one as many of these are identified as being there, but not much to nothing is known about them other than it is known that they are there. New discoveries are made almost on a daily basis. So for that reason alone we will have a cut-off point and have chosen to just deal with the major...

Hi Everyone,
I am excited to discuss with you a little change of direction with some of my discussions. As you know there are several themes that are threaded through them, like minerals, food, essential oils, and sometimes even political commentary. I want to move all of those to the back burner, well, it might seem like it but the reality they won't be, but rather we are going to focus more on one particular area. That area is the brain. Here is why we don't see a whole lot of discussion as it applies to the brain in particular. Oh yes, we see a few people that think they know all about the brain, but then again they think it is just a mass of goo that magically works and that our body is the one that runs the show. I wish it was that simple.

Back when I was in psychology school, we started off with lecture after lecture about all this stuff that was supposed to be going on in the brain and how the brain is made up of all these little different compartments and things like...

Today's mineral is Aluminum. This is one of those minerals that have a really bad name in the biological functioning world. Rightly so as pretty much everything on this mineral is negative as it applies to the animal/human body. The same applies to the plant world as well. However, all is not lost, there is some positive, a slight ray of light. But first, the technical points. Aluminum pairs with the amino acid, Isoleucine It is recognized by the symbol of Al.

In all of the text references out there, it lists all of the bad things about Aluminum. It doesn't talk about the positive effects of Aluminum. We know that there is a biological function for Aluminum and we are just now discovering some purposes of this mineral. I think it is best to lift a quote from Pub-Med concerning this mineral, as they do a better job of describing the potential of this mineral, plus it isn't just coming from me.
Here goes: A biological function for aluminum is proposed in which this abundant, high...

When I do these discussions on these topics and tie them into nutritional related discussions, I try to avoid the technical writing and wording that would appear to a specific group or discipline. So I try to speak to the general crowd that isn't current to the specifics of a given discipline. So in doing so I keep trying to figure out some example of sorts that everyone could understand from a common perspective. When we talk about this mineral or that nutrient as being all-important or the most important, well, it just does not really paint a picture that does justice to the idea or properly couches it as it really is. So I came up with a line of description that I would like to run with and see how it works out, So let's have some fun here, OK?

Our focus is Cobalt. Cobalt is one of those trace minerals, used everywhere in the body, but only in a small amount. The small amount makes a huge difference in the overall outcome. There are other minerals that are just as important, such...

I was involved in a conversation about addictions and part of that was dealing with what to use in dealing with addictions, as in working with a person that has a serious drug addiction. This person is dealing with some of the hard crap. Then aside from that most recent deal, I remembered that I gave a person my perspective on it and so I figured that it was a good idea to share it with all of you as I am sure that some of you have to deal with it as well with someone you know. Also, keep in mind that this same protocol applies to all addictions, no matter how small it might be. So here goes.
