In case you were wondering ... (Note: this stuff tastes really quite yucky, but boy is it good for my energy level)

Spirulina Blue Green Algae
Spirulina is the most concentrated, nutritious food on this planet. It is the highest natural source of complete protein (75%). We use the only organically grown spirulina in the world, from Hawaii. The high amount of sunshine there makes this spirulina higher in Beta Carotene than any other. It is also a rich source of B-vitamins, especially B-12. Grown using water pumped from 2000 feet deep in the ocean, this spirulina is also one of the richest sources of minerals. One of the oldest types of algae, it has a soft cell wall for easy digestion and assimilation.

Chlorella
Chlorella is second only to Spirulina in nutritional content. Another of the algaes, it is an excellent source of nutrition and complements Spirulina well. The cell wall had been cracked to make the nutrients more available and increase digestibility.

Alfalfa, Barley and Wheat Grasses
These are the Vitamin/Mineral herbs. They are mildly cleansing and the greatest sources of nutrition of any grasses. Grain grasses are more potent than the grains themselves, offering us a rich array of vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll.

Purple Dulse Seaweed
Seaweeds are the riches source of assimilable minerals on the planet. They contain all the minerals and trace minerals that are found in the oceans and the earth's crust. We chose Purple Scandinavian Dulse because it has the highest mineral concentration and also tastes bland. Many seaweeds taste fishy and are offensive to vegetarians.

Beet Root and Spinach Leaf
Beets and Spinach are some of the richest, most assimilable sources of organic iron. Beets, being a root vegetable and growing underground, change inorganic raw elements into plant minerals, that are usable by us. Spinach is a rich source of calcium, iron and vitamin K. Both of these plants are famous for their blood building ability.

Rose Hips, Orange and Lemon Peels
Revered as the best sources of vitamin C, these fruits are also a balanced C-complex source. They contain bioflavinoids, rutin, vespertine, calcium and all the trace elements that are known to be necessary to assimilate vitamin C. The citrus peels are also one of the highest sources of pectin which has been proven to remove heavy metals (mercury, lead, etc.) from the body, even remove radioactive contamination like strontium 90.

NON-Active Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nutritional Yeast
This yeast is grown on beets and pure molasses. It is the second highest source of complete protein in nature (50%), and the richest source of B Vitamins. It is also a rich source of iron and many other minerals. The yeast we chose is heated high enough to absolutely destroy any yeast activity, but not high enough to lessen the B Vitamin content. It is totally NON active and safe for patients with candida albicans or on yeast free diets.

Three examples of my daily food totals from my excel food journal worksheet. They are very typical of what I eat on a weekly basis. Be warned. I'm in the middle of a serious chocolate craving this month.

A friend is visiting my home island Kauai. I'm very jealous, but I'm also reminiscing about my beach bunny roots, when the five biggest concerns in my youth were:

1) how to not get tan lines - tan lines are evil, they still are!
2) how to get every single hair off my body - body hair is very bad for tanning - you get polkadotted skin.
3) the best time to tan for maximum sun exposure without burning.
4) boys, boys, boys.
5) what bikini to wear under my clothes to school, just in case I got invited to the beach.

Finally, a good decision is made by a San Francisco appeals court, State appellate court overturns ruling in Haygood case.

Talk about a good case for the abuse of affirmative action policies. The woman made a mess out of San Francisco elections and ran up the election budget, and then said she was fired because of race. I don't think so. Can you spell "incompetence"?
