Lol Lyra, sounds like you've put quite abit of energy into this herb business and was lacking a place to express it, good info though, spirulina probably is best and unless i can find a cheaper uk source of chlorella, i'ts what i'll probably stick with

Thanks Lyra,

Miles.

Hanh?  I do have my own website you know.  I'm certainly not "lacking" a place to express things.  I mentioned what I mentioned because you asked.  Nothing more.    If I had a need to express herbal stuff and was wanting for an outlet, as you've mistakenly interpreted, I'd go to my website and do it.

I meant it in a jokingly, ofhand and unserious fashion, so even if i mistook what was going on in your subconscious, it would pass over without bringing offence, never mind, i'd be interested in your website, what is it? If it in your sig and i missed it i'll check it out.

Branching this out however, isn't anything we say stemming from a want to express it, thus, currently a lack of satifaction with the amount one hs already expressed?
what i've said and to be honest, it was
I understand how you've interpreteda poor demonstration of social skills, i have this nagging habit of to various degrees, making a joking insinutation about a person made in jest, that can be taken the wrong way, or the right way as that's subjective, but not the way it was intended, rereading this, i see how it can be interpreted, by the way i've structured the statement with a tone other than what was intended.

Take it  easy Lyra(not saying that your not taking it easy, this is a british expression like saying, go in peace, which obviously doesn;t suggest one is not already peaceful) lol, so take it easy lyra, peace, thanks,

Miles.

I know.  But it was a mistaken assumption, and me being me will always pipe up and correct somebody when they mistake where I'm coming from, or why I'm doing what I do.  Nothing wrong with it....in fact more people should do it, this way everybody would be on the same page and understand each other a little better.  wink

No.  If you hadn't asked directly in this thread, then it wouldn't have occurred to me to post the info that I posted.  You asked............so I answered.   If somebody brings something up first without being asked then yes, it's obviously stemming from wanting to express it, otherwise they wouldn't have said anything.   But answering when asked is about obligation, and responding to another's need for info that they've requested.  But it doesn't necessarily mean that the person being asked had an actual "want" to express it.  I'm sure we've all experience those times where we've been asked questions that we're too tired or annoyed to answer, but we do anyway, with an internal **sigh** (Not saying that was my mindset here in this thread, it wasn't...but it has been in other threads!  haha)  But see, there's the difference.

Spirulina...bringing philosophical conversation to the masses.  wink

In fact to give you an idea - I had to go and research/double check all the numbers I cited in my post to you, including researching the silica packages I'd purchased on eBay.  I didn't know any of it off the top of my head, and had spirulina and chlorella bottles next to me at the computer to check the figures and a window open with my personal eBay account to look up my purchasing history.  If there was some sort of "want to express it" or a "lack of satisfaction with the amount one has already expressed," then for me, it would have been burning up my brain and I would have known all the details off the top of my head, because that's how it works for me. Also I would have resurrected this thread since I started it to begin with and just gone ahead and posted all that info if I felt a need to say more about it all.  In reality, until you asked directly, I hasn't really thought too much about it and it certainly didn't cross my mind to post it.   So, just because somebody gives thorough answers doesn't mean they're lacking in outlets to express themselves or have some lack of satisfaction going on.  It just means they give thorough answers.  wink (or that they talk too much...)

Anyway, that should clear things up.

Re: Spirulina

Lol, sorry again Lyra:)

Anyway, another thing i've been wondering is rather than taking spirulina as a suplement could it be a major part of ones diet, seeing as it's a superfood, it would have greater nutritional value than ordinary foods, like fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds etc..

I've been thinking about my diet alot lately, my appetite has dropped significantly and i've found myself, feeling quite depressed, snacking on pizzas, crisps, fatty foods like burgers.

Today i'm feeling very out of myself, i had a bad dream last night, i can't remeber much of what it was about, but it very definitely a reflection of the confused energies in my body and mind, so today while my mind is blank and i feel illfocused, i know there's probably alot brewing in my subconscious.

So i'm hoping that a dramatic change in diet and an increase in physical actvivty as well as spiritual activivty(meditation and energy balencing work), will bring me out of this depressed confused state.

I'll probably start a thread addressing the perfect spiritual diet, but in this thread, i'd like to ask, can one just make spiriulina a big part of ones diet, or as it's quite expensive atleast a good addition, says about 200 grams of spirulina a day, making 3 kgs a month?

Would more spiriulina over other foods and fruits be good?

Thanks,

Miles.

I also happen to have a bag of silica freshness packets that i bought from a retailer on e-Bay for like two dollars or something for 50, and I always put a packet in my supplement jars when I make stuff for myself, or if I buy a bottle of something that doesn't have one.

I know this is somewhat ghetto, but I make my own freshness packs using Damp-rid (desiccant) and coffee filters.  I cut the filters into squares or whatnot, fill with a few grains or teaspoon of the desiccant (depending on the size of the jar I'm using for storage), fold over, then secure with a tiny bit of tape.  I'm sure I'd be better served just buying the darned silica packs, but it's a good trick if you ever find yourself without them.

Yeah, people gravitate towards the high fat when they're depressed or feeling bleak.  I'm not sure why we're wired to do this, but since you mentioned it, one suggestion would be to substitute quality fatty foods for the junk.  For instance.....instead of ice cream or something, (not that you mentioned ice cream, I'm just using that as a typical comfort food example) eat a bowl of fruit mixed with coconut milk maybe.  Coconut milk is very high in fat and takes care of fat cravings, but it's healthier than say a tub of ice cream or a bag of crisps.  And it's very tasty!   Even if the crisps (potato chips for the Americans) are cooked in one of the healthy oils they're still not as healthy only because they're not a natural food.  Coconut milk is raw and natural and therefore can be more easily digested by the body than a bag of potato slices cooked in oil.  There's controversy about whether coconut milk and oil are dangerous due to their saturated fat content, but I've seen both pro and con literature on it, and I'm thinking it still has to be better than say a big greasy bacon cheeseburger, (as tasty as that is!) or a tub of ice cream or something.

Avocados are another very high fat natural food.  A good thing to work into one's diet.

I don't know, I haven't researched that myself.  Maybe somebody else here knows and can offer input?

I'm not sure about the idea of any one supplement being used in large quantities to try to take the place of other foods even if it has been labeled a "super food."  I think balance is the key.  Eat in a balanced way and fill in the cracks with the super food supplements.  I think our bodies can benefit from a lot of raw veggies and fruits, as they have those infamous "anti-oxidants," fiber, and their energy giving life force, good fiber containing carbs like brown rice, (not white, but brown, which has fiber and nutritional qualities that the stripped, bleached white rice lacks) and moderate quantities of clean meat.  And lots of water.  But that's just me!

Thanks for the tip.....
