Vitamins.... They don't really help... documented studys about vitamins called   You take vitamins... read this

Eat real food instead of taking vitamins... here is a good article about this

Hi! it is my recurrent theme on these pages to get people to do it for themselves ... for so many different reasons... here is one now. The paragraph below from the Wise Geek article suggests that it is best to grow you own Alfalfa sprouts because.....

"Commercially produced alfalfa sprouts have also been identified as a source of potential foodborne illness by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Unless the sprouts are cultivated very carefully and handled well, they can become a breeding ground for bacteria. This becomes especially true once alfalfa sprouts leave the grocery store, where they may sit in a fridge for several days before being eaten. When grown at home, however, alfalfa sprouts are fine"...."Wise Geeks" click for the full article 

Iceberg lettuce and spinich are now irradiated for your protection against Ecoli. Most tomatoes and other unripe fruit and veggies are artificially ripened with C2H4/ethylene gas.

I like this vermicelli made from mung beans... they are sometimes called cellophane noodles... I just read this article at wikipedia.In 2004,

Testing by Chinese authorities determined that some brands of cellophane noodles produced in Yantai, Shandong were contaminated with lead. It emerged that several unscrupulous companies were making their noodles from cornstarch instead of mung beans in order to save costs, and, to make the cornstarch transparent, were adding lead-based whiteners to their noodles.[2] In December 2006, Beijing authorities again inspected cellophane noodles produced by the Yantai Deshengda Longkou Vermicelli Co. Ltd.[3] in Siduitou village, Zhangxing town, Zhaoyuan city, Yantai, this time determining that sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, a toxic and possibly carcinogenic industrial bleach which is an illegal food additive in China, had been used in the production of the noodles....... Who the hell are these people! This is the reality in which we live.

It is wise to get into the regimen of making your own whatever it is if you can... I don't germinate my own brown rice anymore as I have found a very good source of germinated brown rice and germinating my own is a real chore, but most times it is safer and a better product when you make it yourself...

Lets face it not only do corporations lie to us; but, regular Joes and Judys lie to us too or they hope we won't notice when they are spinning us... Tyson Foods proports that their chickens are rasied without any chemical injections and that is very true... they are raised that way; however, Tyson Foods does inject the egg with hormones and antibotics.... surprise... here is the link to the article... Look; The Beechnut people put out a babys apple juice that contained no apples...just beet sugar, corn syrup, cane sugar, artificial color and flavor....to babies! they will say and do anything to make a buck... here is the link to an article about this

Even the great "Whole Foods" Company sold meat that might have made people sick... and they charge you 3 times the price to possibly get you sick on that meat.... The first time that happened they promised up and down that that it wouldn't happen again and; of course, it happened again within 6 months. Here is the link to Whole Foods own explaination of how bad meat might get into their store, Whole foods spins that no one got sick from their meat; however, the Massachusetts health authorities disagrees with them. This link is the Massachusetts Heath Authorites version of what happened..... And then there was the second recall of beef from whole foods just weeks later... Read this article about the second recall ... the article just shows that beef or whatever; organic or not, might not be safe.... and even if sold at the best and well meaning stores it may not be safe... and let me tell youi ... once you get food poisioning it is not a simple thing... it can stay with you the rest of your life... here is the link to the second recall of beef from whole foods.

Oh; and read this article about how vitamins are not really that helpful... but they do make some companys lots of money... check it out right here

Oh... and like I also like to make people aware of what else these good friends of ours do...like when the sell us organic milk most of the organic milk is ultra pasteurized ...they ultra pasteurize milk because it will give a longer shelf life... they can sell more of it before it goes bad... An ultra pasteurized milk doesn't spoil... it doesn't even have to be refrigerated ... it doesn't spoil, it will not turn into curds and whey but it does rot... read the label on the things you are buying ... the things they are tricking you into......

So my point is... it is good to be aware...it is good to make it yourself... don't just take what is given to you or what is easiest.... and this pertains even to who we think of as our friends... LifeWay Kefir; for example, makes their kefir from strains of kefir not from the kefir grain and it contains no kefir yeasts... it is hardly kefir at all and beside the subtractions that it does not contain,  it does contains additives that we don't want in our kefir, FOS and or Inulin..

The same holds true for ideas... don't just take what is given to you or what is easiest ...even from those who are thought of as your friends, our religious leader and politicle leader.... do for yourself and think for yourself.... these are the suggestions here at Alternative Thought & Supply... don't even listen to me... go into things yourself ....make your own!.You can grow your own herbs and much of your own salad greens and some very interesting salad greens.. you can grow tomatoes and strawberries in you own home... here is a link to grow your own
