Cloning Humans

Hmmmmm,
Scientists are one step closer, and once again i ask myself, are we doing things, just because we can? Is quantity / length of life in any way connected to quality of life? And what cost do our technological advances carry?

Counting Calories?

Some people eat over 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of meat per day (on average)…

Some on the other hand don’t :

From the 17th August until the 7th December 1996, Umasankar-ji stopped eating and sleeping altogether. His body weight remained the same and he continued his daily routine working in the assram in a perfect state of health.

How?

This swamiji, is said to “eat” the energy from the sun. Is it hocus pocus? Lies and Illusions? The website is quite convincing…

Daniel asks:

What do you think it’s going to take for more of us to grasp the
seriousness of our situation? How would you describe those conditions
that are going to provoke us to really change?

I think that all conditions are provoking us to really change. (more…)

digestion

So i’ve been doing a little personal research experiment since i’ve been back in the states.
I find my energy level so much more consistent and higher and healthier if i am eating pure meals with more raw food and less silly combinations.
My quick rules:
avoid:
- acid + protein
- starch + protein
- starch + sugar
- different protein sources together
seek and eat alone:
- raw milk products
- whole grains
- raw vegetables
- raw fish (yummm - but no rice!)

This whole thing has been partly prompted by daveo’s little taoist health book:

A careful comparative examination of the diets and
health of beggars in India and apparently healthy young
American teenagers revealed that in India the average
daily calorie intake of the typical beggar amounted to
less that half that of the typical American.

Yet only 6.25 percent of the beggars showed any sign of
nutritional deficiency, while a staggering 75 percent
of the American teenagers showed signs of severe
malnutrition. Only 1.25 percent of the Indian beggars
suffered dental cavities, compared with over 90 percent
of the young Americans. Conclusion: the typical beggar
in India derives greater health from his meager diet
than the average American teenager does from his ‘rich’
diet.

One can also take a look at the HPS site:

for info about cleansing, trophology (food combination), and all sorts of healthy goodness!
