Zinc

Seems most of us get plenty of zinc in our diets and that the zinc we do get is usually well balanced by our intact of other metallic minerals,

Foods with particularly abundant amounts of bio available zinc include:
oysters
beef pot roast
ground beef
turkey
pumpkin seeds

More Hyperborean Education

In this education dietary suggestions were made. For example millet was recommended for its nutritious qualities. This disciple was urged to avoid foods which acted counter to illumination, purity, and chastity of the soul or which got in the way of temperance or virtue.

Music and poetry were taught. Music was taught as a 'medicine' and an instrument of purification. Music was used to help develop and support mental states of readiness and fitness. Dancing to string instruments was included. Homer and Hesiod were important poets in his teaching.
The theory of music which lead to number and computation, was thought of as coming from sailors, merchants, and astronomers.

Cooperative politics were taught.

Divinity was taught. Nothing real need be hopeless. God first and then my promised word. An oath should be taken as sacred. Things divine can be learned even from the Celt and the Iberian.

Short sayings of the teacher are fine seeds for meditation.

The teacher called philosophy not only a desire for, and a love of, wisdom, but also the science of objectified truth.

"Guayangareo," Valladolid, Morelia

Morelia, Micioacan in prehispanic times was once likely called "Guayangareo." In a colonial time it was called Valladolid. The older downtown section of the city still has a noble and lordly aspect of the epoc of the viceroys. It was designated a Cultural Patrimonony of Humanity in 1991.

In the older part of this fine Mexican city the Cathedral dominates the skyline. Many of the streets of this part of the city end at a temple or monestary, seemingly built with the intention of being roads to faith.

Morelia may be an excellent place for the history buff to begin his study of hispanic Mexico.

The greater city of Morelia is a major cultural and artistic center with a great variety of cultural events and venues. Internation musical festivals are held in the city. It has its pleasant zoo and interesting planitarium. It has one of the better Orquidariums and an amazingly great variety of museums.

The city is less expensive than much of Mexico and has really great food.

Nearby is the "Rout of Health" into the area of hot water spas in the very attractive highlands. Nearer yet are 'typical towns like Charo, Capulo, and Cuizeo which are a pleasure to visit.

Eat:

• colorful red and yellow peppers, they have twice as much vitamin C and a lot more beta carotene than do the green ones.
• foods rich in vitamin C to increase the amount of iron your body absorbs from other foods.
• sodium free mustard by mixing mustard powder with a bit of water, vinegar, or milk.
• prepared horseradish; it has half the calories and one tenth the sodium of mustard or ketchup.
• a whole orange you peel; whole oranges lose less vitamin C than does any juice.
• the Chinese or Thai cold noodles with peanut sauce you like in a lower fat version: mix 4 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter with the juice of a lemon, 2 teaspoons of reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, and some chopped scallions. Blend and then toss with cold cooked fettuccine or linguine.
• a new fruit or vegetable every week or so and have some fun boosting your antioxidants and getting your veggies.
• a sweet potato. a three and a half ounce sweet potato contains three times the recommended daily amount of beta carotene, half the RDA for vitamin C, and just 100 calories.
• a fresh herb soon. Fresh herbs are more potent in antioxidant power that the dried, Culinary herbs in general have more antioxidant potential than medicinal one such as ginkgo. Fresh oregano and marjoram are great.

Sir:
Where can I get information on changes in the nutritional value of truck crops over time? I'm especially interested in data from recent decades, but am also interested in older data.
Who handles such research?

Ñeque

John McCain has probably never eaten ñeque, but he has probably seen them here in Panama, perhaps near his home in the Zone. Here they say a ñeque is like a rabbit, but it is a rather sweet rodent of another kind.

Patacones are grilled plantains which to my pallet are very tasty.

Espiritu Santo is the national flower of Panama. I suspect that it is an orchid. I is a fairly large plant with a small, pretty, white flower with a somewhat dove like aspect.
Its dovelikeness is from whence comes the reference to the Holy Spirit.

Still possible to find a new house here for $40,000 in an okay area.

Most homes here have a variety of fruits and spices growing in their gardens. Still I was surprised to find black pepper growing in many yards. Reminded me of South East Asia. Green is its color as it grows, of course. Green it is eaten in salads and many other dishes. I really like it.

What Does Eating Have to do With Me?

You and I have received gifts. We have been grateful, but not always grateful enough to use our gifts well. For example, we have been provided with energetic minds and we have heard that "God helps those who help themselves. We have been told to "get understanding." We have been told that "knowledge is power" and yet we cry, "I don't know. I don't know." "I don't know" may be a good cry of humility and a good first step toward understanding, but we are not cry babies.

You have spoken of responsibility; me too. What is the nature of responsibility? Who has it? Who is responsible for our understanding? Who is responsible for our power?

My questions may seem a bit extreme, but I have often found them empowering. For example: Who do you think has the greatest power to keep me from eating poison? Who is best able to be responsible to keep me from eating poison? Who is most likely to take on that responsibility? I, for one, am willing to take prime responsibility for y eating.

Even though I seem willing to take some responsibility, I am often rather lazy and unfocused. As lazy and unfocused as I may be, I still have the power to cooperate. I have some ability to cooperate with the way of things, or God. I have some ability to cooperate with you.

I am not sure what it means to say, "You are what you eat." Still I have heard it often, occasionally from a person who seems wise. Even on my foolish level I know that if the baby has been given poison to eat, we may say she is poisoned.

I don't know anyone who wants to poison a the baby, but is the baby the only one responsible for its eating? Who is responsible for a baby's eating?

When it comes to making sure that food is safe to eat, knowledge is power.

Herbs

In partial response to comment on the post "Talk with the Animals." I have successfully use herbs to treat intestinal parasites. I use herbs almost daily. For example I find ginseng a better pick-me-up than tea or coffee.

Herbs have been used to treat man and his domestic animals for millenia.

I have had others tell me that they have been joyous at the herbal treatment of a general malaise said to come from human yeast infection.

I hope 'mousse' will tell us more of herbal experience. The 'Bea' 'mousse' speaks of may be checked out in 'comments.'

Persons close to me suffer rheumatoid arthritis. Penny Royal in her popular little book "Herbally Yours" lists many herbs used to treat rheumatism and indicates that she has had successful persona experience with Alfalfa and Chaparral. I take alfalfa
and was taking it when I got rid of painful joint problems in my fingers. Alfalfa is easy to take and easy on the system; not so chaparral. In another book I have at hand,
"Prescription for Nutritional Healing " by Blach. Again for Arthritis Blach recommends primrose oil, salmon oil, superoxide dismutase ,SOD, (Including injections, alfalfa, celery seed, chaparral, parsley tea etc.
There is help out there that may not be suggested by your particular specialist. Examples are hot and cold compresses, exercise, raw lemon rubs, caster oil packs.
Some have found avoiding certain foods a help. Foods like green peppers, white potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes.
Talking with those who are improving or suffering less than before is a help

Time to Eat

I am feeling a bit hungry and am a bit disturbed by loud Brazilian TV program.
Seems this blog is all about me.
Still I feel a bit frustrated not having gotten to the parts of this trip I find must interesting.

AOL has been resopnsive and helpful.
Avianca, Taca, and other airline personal have been ver helpful.

árrepa´was a roasted ball of a simple cornmeal recepie. These days it takes a bit more the for of a tortilla. Another form is made from fresh corn from the cob and when done correctly DELICIOUS. I like it topped with a bit of fresh cheese.

My spellchek wants me to write in Spanish and is making all corrections in that language.

´choclo´ is fresh corn on the cob.

Kevin Maloney, maloney2000@yahoo.co.uk, sportsman, lover,world traveler, and all around good man would like to hear from you. He knows a good movie when he sees it and has a weakness for beautiful woman.

La Montana Magica is a resort at nearly 9000 feet near Santan Elena and not far from Rionegro, Antioquia. Its name is taken from the novel of the same name by Thomas Mann.

I find my sister´s sites at: http://gerryart.blogspot.com and http://gerrysgeneology.blogspot.com/ interesting.

My flight from Lima (Callo?) was supposed to be to La Paz, bbut by mistsake was to Santa Cruz. By mistake also it seems that that $390 flight may cost me nothing.

Well I have´t gotten to the Venezuela Amasador or even the Bolivian Ambasador; much less the hammoc and the geese, the buck rogers transport system, love, money, politics ........ appitites .....

Rio Negro, Antioquia

I´m here. Still very tired from trip. It seems more expensive than Thailand. Cost about a dollar and a half an hour to use this computer at this cybor cafe. I´m having to listen to Colombian hip hop as type this. For lunch I had a delicious arrepa de choclo with some very nice cheese. Drank blackberry smoothie and a cup of coffee with it for about 2 dollars. That was great. Had what might be called a typical Antioquian dinner. It was very Colombian.
The country side is beautiful.
What are my impressions?
Not sure yet.
Glad to be here.
More after I´ve slept.
