What about coffee? It's very high in antioxidants!

LOL... don't have any (yet). BUT... you can rent a pretty decent place for about $200 a month. Also, homes start at about $30K for something most Americans would consider acceptable. Nothing fancy, of course.

Any in Michigan?
Quote:It takes work to heal a major disease going the alternative route. Even with the water, there are still emotional issues that can bubble up, that need to be addressed. Whenever I deal with very sick people, I always tell them to be aware that they might even feel worse before they feel better...they might have emotional as well as physical detox. But the good news is that the water seems to help bring all that to the surface and wash it away.
Yeah... every now and again I have to cut a client loose because they seem unwilling to do the inner work, and place too much expectation on the outer stuff. Recently had a woman with a somewhat mortifying history ranging from sexual abuse to her sister being murdered.
Besides the gut stuff, she has a really bad problem with thick mucus, especially in her lungs. She wanted to know what she should "take for it". I recommended NAC but specifically said that the mucus could be related to unresolved emotions from her traumatic experiences.
Long story short, she ends up taking a trip, then comes home and notices that her symptoms got worse again when she returned. Asked me about dust, mold, allergens, etc. I say- sure it would be a good idea to give the house a thorough cleaning... which she proceeds to do without using any sort of protection for her respiratory system. Granted, I forgot to specifically mention using a mask... but really?
So anyway she triggers an asthma attack, and ends up in the hospital for a treatment. Also she decides while all of this is going on to put herself on a "low-carb diet"... pretty much ignoring the dietary recommendations I gave her.
But despite all of this, she managed to convince herself that it was the NAC giving her problems, due to "something she read on the Internet" which, by the way, she wouldn't give me the link to when I specifically asked for it.
So finally she decides to cancel her follow up appointment, because she is "concerned" about the NAC, and plus all of a sudden she thinks she is spending too much money on supplements. Mind you, the primary reason she came in was for gut issues, which were improving.
My take is... she started the healing process and some very uncomfortable catalyst came up for clearing and it freaked her out. But what am I to do? I don't have the inclination to chase these people around. Besides, what can I really do besides, "wish them love, light, peace, joy, and bid them well."
Quote:But remember those 2 STO Wanderers who tried to control the community and woke up 'disconcerted' that they had graduated STS? They switched polarity and didn't even realize it! (NOT saying you are in any danger of that!!!)
Yes that's true, but, "The technique of control over others and domination unto the physical death was used in both cases." That's some pretty serious stuff there! I wonder what possessed them to think that "domination unto the physical death" was an appropriate way to deal with other-selves...
Quote:True, assuming the person has an abundance of minerals. I'd been a vegetarian for many years, and was doing a lot of juicing (concentrated alkalizing!) yet was still very acidic. I couldn't figure out why! I mean, dangerously acidic! After almost dying and almost losing my teeth, I finally figured out that the distilled water was leaching my minerals. I was an extreme case, though.
Yeah, I remember that story. Glad you made it out alive! But if I recall, you were going buck wild with the distilled water, no? We still use our distiller, but add the minerals back into it. I can't drink plain distilled water anyway, it makes me thirsty!
Plus I must confess I only drink about six cups of water a day, in contrast to the eight that I should be drinking. But I do have about 4 cups of coffee in the morning... that sort of counts (but not really).

Anyway... so far I haven't noticed any deterioration in our health status. No dramatic improvements, either. But we don't have any chronic conditions to speak of.
Quote:Really? Oh and I just mentioned Costa Rica, and I had no idea!!
:idea:
Quote:Oh so you have great taste in music TOO??? Gosh, Tenet, now I'm really impressed!
Oh, but even more than that, I play music! Actually covered "Shakin' the Tree" with a bluegrass band some years ago for a New Year's gig!

Oh I'm sure the demons of depolarization are dancing with delight!

Quote:Tangent: Are you a lunatic? Have you kept up with his other stuff? Brilliant, all! But that's a whole 'nother conversation!
No, I haven't. But I should check it out!

Maybe. I started exploring South/Central America as bugout zones for if/when the s*** hits the fan in the U.S. So far, nothing has turned out as bad as I thought it was going to be...
But still Costa Rica is an all around great place. Besides the obvious tropical paradise environment, they have a stable democratic government. Some aspects I think are even superior to our own with respect to how they address the balance of power. No army. And crime is pretty low. Of course, they still have crime but it tends not to be as violent. Mostly robberies and stuff like that. But violent crime does exist there.
Quote:I know a lot of people in the raw foods community are flocking there.
Hopefully, just the cool ones and not the fanatical extremist types.

Quote:But what I don't get is how regular folk can do it...how do they make a living? Doesn't one have to be independently wealthy to pull that off?
Well, the ideal situation is to be able to make money in the U.S. remotely while in Costa Rica. That is assuming, of course, that our monetary system doesn't completely collapse. For example, our recruitment business only requires the Internet and telephone... well actually with VoIP only the Internet. And the telecommunications infrastructure is excellent in Costa Rica.
Still there are plenty of ways to make money down there. It all depends on what sort of "standard of living" one finds acceptable. A resourceful person could go down with $5K and easily make that last a year or more while they figure something else out.
$30K in a local bank account basically gets you a temporary resident visa. Otherwise, foreigners need to leave the country every 90 days. People usually take a short trip to Nicaragua or Panama... buses are cheap.
$200K will get permanent resident status, if you can demonstrate that you are using the money to "invest" within the country. I use that in quotes because the gov't will consider a $200K home as an "investment." But personally, I wouldn't show up in some Tico town broadcasting to the neighborhood that I had that kind of cash.
Americans can even get citizenship without having to give up their U.S. citizenship, but that is a long road.
There are also all manner of "communities" popping up where people can buy lots, build a modest home, and have some shared resources for food, etc. About $50K to buy into one of these. But personally, I am leery of "communities" since there is no way to weed out the orange/blue vMeme types without being accused of "elitism" by the green vMeme types.

One other consideration is that you can't really buy property and let it sit unattended for months and years. Costa Rican law is much more friendly to squatters than they are here. On the other hand, you can probably hire a property manager for $50-100 a month.
Bottom line- people go down there and make it work all the time... with much less skills and resources than you or I.

Hydrogen is flammable. Our water ignites! I can hold a lighter in the water stream and hear pop pop pop as the hydrogen bubbles ignite!
Wait... what?! But hydrogen ions are what make a liquid acidic!
