Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Dear Hanneke,<br><br>Eating mainly fresh fruit, vegetables, sprouts, nuts and seeds, is plainly good for your health.<br><br>However it is wise to remember that this is movement that goes back to the nineteenth century. And is primarily a religious movement. And scruples are a vice of religion.<br><br>Simplicity is probably a good antidote to scruples.<br><br>Fruit is easy to eat and a good blender is sufficient to prepare raw vegetables.<br><br>Once you are eating raw, it is time to turn your mind away from food to perhaps sharing your raw bounty with others or start to develop other skills and talents.<br><br>It is a mistake to get trapped in the minutae of food. We eat to live not live to eat.<br><br>Victor.<br><br>PS: I'm glad you bought a kitchen distiller. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Hello Victor,<br><br>I've read your message, and yea, I think I'm a bit puzzled about your reply. Wonder if that was perhaps a response to someone else's contribution.<br><br>I'm a person that eats to live, no fanaticism about that. Live and let live is my motto. It's just so that life experiences do teach lots to those who are open to it. Always been one for thinking/doing things out of mainstream, following gutfeelings. Just nice to sometimes see it in print years after I had figured certain things out for myself. <br><br>I'm still catching up on messages which takes a while but it gives a good picture to read the 'whole story' and somehow get to know the contributors a little.<br><br>About 3 months ago or so, there were a few contributions re HIV/AIDS. Ross Horne in his book Health & Survival into the 21st Century writes a very interesting (although not surprising to those who are cynics by birth)chapter about the way the medical establishment found a another way of deluding the people. I personally think the whole book is worth reading but this particular chapter came to mind when I saw the HIV/AIDS contributions.<br><br>A nice weekend to all<br>Hanneke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Hi Hanneke,<br>I'm from the Czech Republic, the middle Eu. country, but I lived in Sydney, N.S.W. for more than 4 years. I now the tap water is not good there, but there is perhaps the widest range of fruit on the market in the world (Harris Farm's Market was my favourite). Can you share your knowledge about destillers, I mean recomended brands, websites, etc.?<br> To your recent post: I read R.Horne's H. & S. into 21st C., to be frank, it opened my eyes when it comes to AIDS. I can recomend it too.<br>tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Dear Hanneke,<br><br>It is lovely to get positive responses. I love them myself.<br><br>And I do see that my last post had a negative cast.<br><br>So it's wonderful you have always been one for thinking/doing things out of mainstream, following your gutfeelings. And now your feelings are validated in print.<br><br>And not only are your thoughts and feeling validated, but you validate the thoughts and feelings of your friends.<br><br>With Thanks,<br>Victor.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Dear Tom,<br><br>We certainly are lucky in Australia with an abundance of fruit everywhere ....but some of us just live a bit further away from the producers than others. Harris Farm's Market, is that in the Sydney area? By the sounds of it a good place to be near to. <br>Unfortunately I could not really suggest a particular website or brand of water distiller. The best I could suggest is to use the IN browser (Google?), search for water distillers and start reading. The one I have purchased is West Bend model The Dove. I used to have a purifier which had to be connected up to the tap. My main reason for selling it at the time (15 yrs ago) was that I 'wasted' a lot of water (waste=letting it run into the yard for trees/plants) something like 100 litres resulted in 20 litres purified water and still had fluoride left in it.<br>Switched to using rainwater from a rather reliably clean rainwater tank. However, since moving to the bush I was stuck. Rainwatertank here is old, dirty etc, with no money to replace the thing. <br><br>Sorry I can't be of more help, Tom. I think it becomes a personal thing when choosing a model depending on available space(bench unit, or built in unit), and certainly finances play a role.<br><br>PS For those who have a cooked meal every so often, it is suggested not to use distilled water for your cooking because it will remove the minerals from your food, and thrown out with the water.<br><br>Talk to you all later<br>Hanneke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
