Same place, though they sell other products, too. They also have a small frozen

section (though bigger than your average health food store), a produce section,

juice bar, and deli. They also have a museum/learning center on Edgar Cayce (to

which I've never been) down there at a seperate location.

 

I take you up o the chemistry bid, as I may have forgotten most all I read by

now, but know that the last part that stuck in my mind as reading (and having

trouble with) is addind several different substances/compounds together, and

having to add their molecular weights times their physical weights to come up

with the actual PH.

Chemistry can be a real hang-up for a lot of people. I think it's been made too

complicated in some ways, and also it's burdened with a bit of false data. If

you have particular questions feel free to write privately.

 

I took a great chemistry course at Red Rocks Community College near Denver in

1993. It was called " Chemistry of Hazardous Materials " and was oriented toward

firefighters. I found this course to be extremely useful, and largely free of

garbage. Similar courses are taught all over the USA, and can be found by

getting on the communication lines used by public service personnel.

 

Is the health food store in Virginia Beach run by the Edgar Cayce people?

There's one group i've been in contact with called " Heritage Products " which has

several useful remedies that can't be found anywhere else. I've always wondered

if they had their own storefront, or were just a catalog operation.

That's an interesting technique you mention there. pH is a measurement of

relative acidity or alkalinity on a gradient scale. It is useful in

determining the possible strength of a chemical reaction between acids and

alkalis. They use this measurement constantly in the field of water

treatment. If some water is too far on the scale one way or another, it has

to be modified, and the exact pH measurement is what they use to determine

which substance is then added to the water. This measurement is ordinarily

derived from simple testing with various chemicals, often using strips of

paper that change color depending on pH.

 

As for adding up all the molecular and physical weights, i imagine that

might produce a more accurate figure, but at the expense of time, money, and

understanding. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how that would work.

But then, the exact definitions of acidity and alkalinity have been a source

of controversy among chemists for a long time. We know for sure that

hydrochloric acid is very acid, and that sodium hydroxide is vary alkaline.

In between those two you will find many substances that are not so readily

classified. That's why they had to develop a gradient scale of pH in the

first place.

I erased the applicable e-mail, but milk thistle (and other herbs) can be found

on <www.herbalgram.org> (American Botanical Council), or <www.herbs.org> (Herbal

Research Foundation); and, yes I think that alot of schooling takes you o the

extreme, which you may never use, and, sometimes, may discourage you!
