I say this mainly because he will not get the notice of the comments and compliments unless he is the one posting it. He seldom reads the comments beyond what he gets in his email box. The day I took this picture, my wife and I rode far up the mountain pass onto public lands in Riley Plantation. We found tons of lady slipper flowers, etc. The water in the river was quite high from all the rain. Within 2 feet of the roaring water and waterfalls, I took this picture. I was interested in getting a nice photo of the butterflies and have often seen tons of butterflies clinging to piles of dung. I'm always amazed at some of the things I post that draw the most discussion. Not that it matters to me or to Milt, but that’s my photo not Milt’s.

And ar, if you come on down to Florida, you can head out to Steinhatchee and the grass flats, and bring a snorkel and a facemask, and cruise the shallows, picking up bay scallops, and watching them squirt away with their sapphire eyes reflecting the light in an evergreen forest of seagrass....and eat your fill, raw or cooked...right beside the water...

Cool ocean breeze in your face. I picture a petite little island just off shore enough to wade to in low tide. Coral reef out in front to snorkle from. Fish galore and the trees are laden with ripe coconuts. The stuff dreams are made of....., and they do come true. 1972-3, Panama, Canal Zone. *question: fifty miles between Atlantic and Pacific oceans with a sea-level difference of three feet - why?

I think there is something to this, I was thinking today that with the clean alkaline diet, fresh water only, and no sugars, at least modernized or altered sugars..lots of natural juices and vegys, it might or probably would be healthy...Still not sure about it though..Even though I know a couple herbalists who I trust a lot, use this remedy, and recommend it all the time..One of them has so much documentation on the subject he could write about six books on it... Still not ready for a serving though..lol... And old American Native buddy used to always tell me to piss on cuts on your fingers and they would heal quicker..

Thanks for the connection. My daughter (an EMT ) did tell me once that in an emergency, if you need sterile fluid, use fresh urine. There are also cultures in Siberia which recycle urine from people that have used Aminita muscaria (fly agaric) for its halucinogenitic properties. I heard about this from my mother way back in the dark ages ( the 1950s) - She and my father had been in Sweden to study micorriza. Some rabbits eat the first "pellets" of the day to recycle vitamin B. We know not what goes on in all the natural systems No, Greg, I did not know all that. Thanks for the connection.
