Health Forum
-
A thought, I myself and believe alot of memebers here would have something to offer to such a place, an additional forum regarding health. As I feel the body is the temple for our spirit and so it is important to maintain it.
In the forum people could discuss the effects of various foods on the body (mind and emotions as well), alternative means of staying healthy, etc.. basically a sharing of each persons understandings of paths to becoming healthier.
I think it is something useful for people to become aware of as the emphasis on health I find is currently to centred on appearnce, often to the extent that yes you lose the weight but lost the clarity of mind and peace of heart, when it can be oh so simpler than a temporaral gain, and to be healthy is not the same as looking healthy.
I feel it is far easier to remain peaceful when the body is functioning a-right and this addition could be as a help-post to others on their path.

Peace khalil,
I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting, please clarify...
(1) a thread (2) a section (3) a different forum altogether
.. on health? ???Thanks
Peace to you Zenje and Adley
A section like Adley suggested, such as below General Issues / Questions
like so;
General Issues / Questions
- General Issues / Questions
- How you came to GOD Alone?
- Off-Topic
- Health Related (I like how Community Needs sounds); And then something like this, but not this ---> A forum where to discuss health related issues.
And then if it grows and requires a new forum then its on forum would be the best outcome. But I think a section would do well.
Peace! D

please clarify... ... on health? ???
For example, the following could be discussed
-issues relating to disease (dis-ease) and bacteria, viruses, prions, etc
-Enzymes, Nutrients, Vitamins, minerals
-the effects of cooking, processing, pasturizing, sprouting, fermenting, giving hormones, spraying with pesticides etc our foods
-Any ailments such as cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc
-Allopathic/homeopathic Medicine, reflexology, iridology, flower remedies, herbs
-healing naturally
-food as medicine
-Vegeterianism, Fruitarian, Vegan, Raw Vegan, macrobiotic, Primal Diet, Paleolithic Diet, etc...Just numerous ways in general that can give us a greater understanding of our bodies and how they function, and how to keep them functioning.
peace,

Could I ask any of you here a favor?
I want to test out a theory but I cannot do it where I am right now. What is that favor? I want to see about malt-making. I already know what i'm doing pretty much but I need to know if this will work.
Sprout wheat grains, barley grains or whole grain rice grains? Any of them will work.
Soak them in water then drain the water (keep this water, refigerated)
Once sprouted take this same water (and if you have to add more, add more), and then blend it in a blender with the sprouts until all the wheat is all blended up and the water is cloudy. Then with a very thin-meshed (plastic) stainer, strain. Discard what you strained (this would actually be given to chickens). Let this sit for about 15-30 minutes, and then pour the water out and do your best to keep what is settled at the bottom separate from the liquid you pour out. Then take that liquid and put a pot on simmer (you should have had it already going). Just keep it on simmer until the water starts to boil away. What you are looking for is a syrupy, sweet liquid at the bottom. Don't let it burn. If you get a sweet liquid. Tell me and thank you.
What is the goal of this
1.The starch at the bottom can be dehydrated easily to be used as flour
2. The bran and little plant stems that have been strained can be used as chicken feed.
3. The syrup can be used as a sweetener.If this is successful. This method can be done with rice as well or any other grain.
Why do this Sprouted grains are more nutritious, the syrup also has the vitimins of the grain and make a healthy sweetner and the starch is healthier as well and can be used for thickeners, and anything that requireds starch. The syrup and starch can be recombined even to make a more nutritious and more digestible food then the grain intself.
How to sprout Take a suitable spaghetti strainer and put whole wheat berries or other whole grains (not oats) and let it soak over night. Then take it out and let it sit for about 2-4 days. When it starts to sprout let it the little sprout until it is sticking out very clearly like a little string. Taste the wheat berry and see if its sweet. If so, that's good. Get to work. Rice is different and you have to use whole rice which is hard to find(not white rice or brown rice). And you have to let them drown in order to get them started. The same water that you used to soak the grains will be the same water that you will use to blend it. So refrigerate it before you use it to blend the sprouted grains.
If you want to go along with this whole plan, you can take the settled starch and put it on aluminum or a flat plate and let it dry(if you live in a hot region or if you have a dehydrator. You can also put the oven on really low like 150 degrees, and leave it kind of open and this will do the same thing.
Use this like flour or heat it up, thicken up a soup or add some water and boil it and then add the syrup.Godbless,
