John Curl's Blowtorch preamplifier part II

[Chris Hornbeck]

My lady taught school, mostly second grade, for more than thirty years. I figure that schoolteachers and their close companions will be the last folks standing after the Great Plague That Destroys Humanity (due Dec 21?). Already had everything.

Thanks,
Chris

Maybe what you eat. I may cost a lot of time and money but it is avoidable, it just depends on how important it is to you. Think the obsession of some audiophiles.

Nope. wrong guess. not what i eat.

About the usual. Only time I got sick more often than usual was the year my son started preschool. Those brats were all little virus bags and my kid was a perfect vector- that winter, I caught a series of bugs, and I'd be just recovered from one and another one would hit. I don't think eating a few hamburgers would have changed that.

Not necessary hamburgers, but some eggs or fish would help definitely.
By the way, eggs of chicken feed by seeds only has ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 as big as 1:16, while eggs of chicken that eats green grass and bugs has 1:1 ratio.

I think you might find the problem is with people who interpret the Book of Leviticus in an overly legalistic fashion. The original aim was a combination of hygiene and teaching of moral principles. To say any more would get me into trouble!

This is a fairly common view (the hygiene part).
As for the facts of the matter – who knows?

As for morals, so far I didn't find any set of morals rules better than the religious ones – the moral rules of any religion.

The problem is that it's practically impossible for the non-believing masses to adopt religious moral rules completely, without reserves. As for religious people (at least those that I know personally), they care much about those rules that aren't related to morality and to the conduct between humans. Hence humanity is in shape it is.

the Great Plague That Destroys Humanity (due Dec 21?).

What? Great Plague? It is something new. I heard about Earth crust shift due to planetary gravity, meteor hit, flare on Sun that destroys electronics, Dollar collapse, global war starting on Middle East, now Great Plague?

Or, you somehow get animal proteins in your vegetarian diet.

That is the only way - there are 'essential' amino acids that cannot be made by the body - it must be supplied through eating it. One such comes from meat. There are a few lesser quality of it in plants so one could just be lucky so far.

Let's stop here Joshua. It is Taboo topic.

Agreed.

May be genetically modified human body can produce essential proteins from vegetable and mineral food, who knows... But even our mineral food is refined: salt that used to be the main source of trace minerals for horses and human beings now don't have them!

OK Dick again your emphasis...

"Any check on the internet will tell you we typical Americans consume 80% GMO foods"

If you don't mean what you say how can we have a conversation?

Hi Richard,
Being a vegetarian for the past 43 years, I took for many years vitamin B12 and Vegetarian Omega 3 food supplements. Since in my country there are almost no GE vegetables and since I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, I didn't need any other food supplements.
Now I'm 69 years old. On recent years I added multi-vitamins and some other food supplements, mainly for my back aches and some memory deficiency.

In the light of the present situation of GE food in the USA, it seems to me that food supplements are recommended for all people. To my view, organic food is much better, with or without food supplements.

I could afford consuming mainly organic food only on recent years, after my retirement. When I worked, I either ate at restaurants, or catering, so I didn't have the option of choosing organic food.

It is a very sad story in the USA, since many top employees of the FDA are former employees of a well known chemicals corporate which is also known for GE vegetables. They managed to make the FDA declare that GE vegetables are no different from non-GE ones, hence it is forbidden by USA laws to state that certain food is GE. In some states it is forbidden by law to publish any criticism on food suppliers. Perhaps conscientious people in the USA would better raise their voices, for the food situation is really gloom.

Genetically Engineering is in a way playing God role, none knows definitely what it does and what are the effects and consequences on the long run.

Meanwhile, purchasing mainly from farmers markets may be a good choice.

I'm sure that anyone who will watch documentaries about how animals for food are reared in the USA will stop consuming any meat. As for myself, I'm a vegetarian out of compassion to all living things, including animals. Only on recent years I became aware of the great benefit to health it is.

You seem to very aware person. im only 66 and didnt eat well nor know what was good and why it made a difference. Totally ignorant about foods and health. Until a few years ago.

Now I work on building the immune system. Mostly vegetables.... like you. I recently had a lab tech look at my blood under a 2000 power scope. We had it hooked up to a flat screen monitor.... I didnt see anything in the plasma except red and white cells. he said he never saw blodd that good... asked by many people - what is it supposed to look like? he wished he had a camera with him because then he could tell others that my blood is what it is supposed to look like. Most people have al sorts of things in their blood... looks like pond water under the scope. he commented that i have a great immune system and asked what I did to make it that way.... I told him what I do... not for here... no one wants to know such things. But email me and I'll go thru it with you. Also doctors have commented on my healing so fast that i must be in very good health etc. happens all the time. I could be the poster-boy for good health. The immune system is what needs the most attention... and even more so as we age. I expect to die in good health and of old age... all used up. Thats the plan. We will see.

Eggs are not dead animal flesh, so I'm happy to whip up the regular omelette, frittata, souffle, or ouva Albese. Eggs and cheese are part of the cuisines of India.

I leave the fishies in peace.

It explains why you are still kicking.

Eggs are not dead animal flesh,.

They were not been allowed the chance to become "live animals" in the first place.

I leave the fishies in peace.

They couldn't- non-fertilized, the same relationship to a chicken as menses are to a human.

If you don't mean what you say how can we have a conversation?

Its easy. You just listen (?) to the meaning. It isnt about me or any particualr person but Americans in general (the WE).

Now I know you get the meaning I was going for: A lot (80%) eat GMO in America. I know you got it... Must just be some kinda weird humor, I guess.

Now you add "how can WE have a communication"? You mean YOU and anyone else who adds thier name to yours'..

Maybe YOU cant have a meaningful conversation with me. So, give up, then. I'll have a conversation with the ones who indicate they got it.

…

Better late than never.
Apparently the human body is a magnificent machine with overwhelming ability to recuperate.

…
But email me and I'll go thru it with you.

Thank you for your confidence in me.
I will.

…

I wish you what I wish myself: to live whatever number of years allotted to me, free of suffering.

Hi Stuart,
Thank you for sharing.
I also eat eggs and diary products. I also love most Indian Cuisine. Generally, I prefer OM over Amen.

How do you know they are not fertilized?

We is collective including the person speaking, why not just clarify most Americans but not me? Not wierd humor just sarcasm, can't help it that's the way I was brought up.

The worst was over a billion years ago when blue-green algae poisoned the whole planet with free oxygen. That was a bad'un, I'll tell ya!

Thanks,
