I tend to eat quite a bit of spinach.  I don't eat only spinach but I do eat it quite often in salads and occasional smoothies. 

Then all of the sudden I started finding these articles about the high oxalate counts in spinach, swiss chard, dark chocolate, etc.. 

Now Im a afraid to eat spinach.  Do the benefits outweigh the oxalate danger.  And are oxalates even dangerous?  is this a myth?

Ive also read multiple articles about oxalates being beneficial and necessary for proper digestion...  Any thoughts?

so the rule of eating fruit on an empty stomach first thing in the morning is just a myth?  wondering for digestion reasons

My source of raw eggs is from farmers market, free range, cage free, omnivorous chickens who sometimes get organic vegetables as a supplement.

I try to eat with the seasons, even with my eggs...Im actually trying to learn more about seasonal eating with everything..
I consume alot of bison meat as well and trying to eat it in season.. Eating meat like i do.. it is hard to know when it is in season.

My goal is to eventually be 100 percent instincto while eating foods closer to the ancient varieties (EX: dandelion greens and wild berries) completely with the seasons... but at the moment I am trying to heal my body  from years of junk food eating.
I find it easy to heal with smoothies, very lightly cooked rare meat, eggs, some greens and low sugar berries.


but pack to the point....I find that even not eating instinctively... including a raw egg or two on a daily basis makes me feel pretty darn good..
Ive never really enjoyed the consistency of raw eggs but I feel like they add something Im missing.

Two of the oldest women in the world (if not the two oldest) contribute there longevity (115+ years) partially to eggs/raw eggs

I am trying to eat my foods as close to the wild varieties as possible but am wondering about somethings that I love


Sugar snap peas are a cross between garden peas and snow peas and I love them.. Is there anything wrong or bad with
eating a semi hybrid food like this?  I'm starting to think that while eating wild is great certain hybrid foods are fine and beneficial for you
as well as tasting better. 

Or an occasional honeycrisp apple?

man i lived with that cyst that was like an irritating little stab in my frickin' testi for yearssss..I even had it removed (surgery) and it came back instantly

My diet is not as good as it used to, I drink too much coffee..eat to much grain, started consuming the hell out of ACV and boom..
WTF?!  Pectin is the reason? i dont think I couldve consumed that many raw apples too = the acv I consumed

It makes me think that ACV is probably doing good things to other organs in my body

I want to believe that this has to be some what poppy cock but... I havent actually heard anybody debate it with science instead of just quoting other people saying it is bull crap.   I feel like I need some info because im interested!


Genotype and Blood type diet book by Peter D'adamo

Just speculating, but I am wondering if there is an ethnic difference as regards tolerance of/preference for  certain foods. I recall, for example,  one attempt (by vegans??) to suggest that African Negroes were more suited to a plant-based diet than other ethnic groups. I have also come across claims that the Inuit have larger livers etc.  in order to handle their  former) largely ZC/RZC diet.I don't know, perhaps tubers are more designed for ethnicities from hotter climates etc.etc.

Following on from this, one would expect those from hotter climates to positively thrive on tropical fruits, with those descended from more northerly climes to favour mostly berries, medlars,apples and pears and the like.

but when did this prefernces/adaptions take place. because we once were all a tropical species

I just had a random thought that figs might be the healthiest fruit for humans becuase of evolution.. and the facts that bonobos chimps gorillas all eat almost exclusively figs when it comes to fruit

say like the fig which is long part of our evolutionary history..Chimps, gorillas, bonobos all primarily (when it comes to the fruit part) eat almost all figs.

 Are we more adapted to eating them and benefiting from them as compared to say...
plums, apples, and berries, etc..?  Or does it not work like that?

I love plums, pears and wild blueberries, and, most berries for that matter... but from what I recall I did really enjoy figs unless they were not ripe yet when I ate them... End Rant

Any thoughts on my random thoughts lol? 

So If I use nothing but water will I be leaving any germs or poop particles  on my clothing that shouldnt be there?

I dont need to use vinegar or something to get that out or make sure there is nothing bad on there??

I have a washing machine but no dryer.

I use washing soda and Charlie's Soap. I'm not endorsing Charlie's soap, but I do want to mention that it contains a surfactant only - no optical brighteners, no bleach, no nuttin' - so depending on how you feel about using a surfactant, it might be an acceptable option.

When people clean their clothes with water only, vigorous agitation is necessary to dislodge the microscopic dirt. That's why you see the womenfolk kneeling on the riverbank, beating their clothes on the rocks. An old-fashioned corrugated metal washboard does the same job. Surfactants are "wetting agents" that hold the dirt in suspension so it can be washed away with only slight agitation, such as in a washing machine. My style of washing and air drying leaves clothes a little stiff, but not terribly so, because I am not using chemical softeners.

I run an extra water-only rinse cycle each week before I do the first load of laundry to flush out the stagnant water in the machine. If you have never smelled that water, try sticking your nose in that first drainage water after the machine has been sitting for a week.

Thanks for the tip.. is it necessary to sanitize your washing machine and dyer once a month as recommended online?

And I also keep reading that water only doesnt get everything out of the clothes as good as sometime of detergent or soap does...
Is this true?  or just paranoid people?

"Need"?  well i gues you dont "Need" to do anything technically

But I think it can only benefit to remove dead skin cells, and pollution from the air off your clothing

as long as the water you are using isnt terribly polluted
