    Salam

    I know that olive oil is healthy, and I know that ingesting it once a day is a good idea, but couldn't you just eat it with salad? I personally find it a bit...odd I guess. But that's just me. peace

    And much thanks to Bender for pointing out those verses. They made my day! yay

    Peace. ;D

      Whoa, a whole liter?! &
      You're hardcore mirjamnur. And most people have the opposite reaction after an experience like that - they would NEVER touch Olive oil afterwards. That's the usual reaction anyways...

      You must be blessed with lots of strength! muscle
      But I will personally stick to my 2 tablespoons in some spinach. Yum! eat

      Peace! sun

            Shalom Aleikhem,

            How does One make One's own toothpaste?

            The truth of the matter is that if you wanted, you could "make" your own computer that runs on your "own" Operating System. You can build a nuclear reactor, medicines, biologically hazardous weapons, and other weapons. But most people chose not to make their own. There are good reasons for that. Do you think, as the owner of a corporation, I would be willing to spend few hundred million dollars to improve my product if your home made remedy already does what my product does ? I say this not to belittle home made remedies, but to stop people from drawing absurd conclusions.

            Most likely I will be posting a refutation series on this forum, for the members of this forum. It will be based on "Alternative Medicine".

            @inquisitivetrini Sorry for going offtopic on your welcome thread P

            Peace

              Peace SoA,

              The truth of the matter is that if you wanted, you could "make" your own computer that runs on your "own" Operating System. You can build a nuclear reactor, medicines, biologically hazardous weapons, and other weapons. But most people chose not to make their own. There are good reasons for that.

              The truth of the matter is, yes you can indeed make whatever you want at home when you put your mind to it. Corporations spend so much money to "improve a product" because they have us so wrapped up in their "name" and what they "stand for" that we can't trust ourselves to make something as "good" as they can. Many of us never "think" that the corporations which spend so much money to "improve their products" are actually not considering the actual interests of the consumers. Think about it. All this "real" this and "natural" this and "organic" this being put on labels....why? Why do they have to put that label on a product in the first place? Why didn't they just give us a good, healthy product to begin with? Plus, they increase their profits by doing the bare minimum to get a product passed and we pay for the cost externalization.

              So sorry for the rant. I just try my best to use things as God intended. Technology is indeed a potent poison, though.

              Watch this http//youtu.be/nmXgedNKgjI

              Then you'll understand why I get so heated about Corporations. P

              Peace! O0

                I can not defend a for profit Corporation's business ethics. ) That was not the point of my post. I am sure if you keep looking, you will be able to find Corporations that will actually poison you literally and take your money for that. Therefore, I refuse to defend them.

                However, I stand for Science. If you claim that whatever product you made yourself is better or even equal in quality when compared to a product available in the market, you must provide the scientific evidence for your claim. Double blind experiments done on your product, using large samples of test subjects (people) and not to mention peer reviewed scientific journals to back your claim. Otherwise, its yet another claim !!

                Oh, and by the way, no matter how you criticize Corporations and their business strategies, that does not add any credibility or validity to your claim of having a better product. All claims stand or fall on their own merits.

                Thanks for the link to that video. Will watch it and let you know later. )

                Peace
