SPROUTING

Sprouting for Health


The health of the physical body should be the concern of every aspirant to the higher life. Spiritual evolution requires refinement of man's vehicles. In order to attain purification of the physical organism, the body must be provided with proper nutrition.

Processed foods often lack the vitamins and minerals necessary to a balanced diet. Research shows that, in sprouts, one finds one of the foods highest in vitamin and mineral content. Sprouts should, therefore, occupy a prominent place in the diet. Among their other virtues is the fact that the seeds are low in cost, can be stored indefinitely, and are easy to grow, and, when sprouted, increase their nutritional value many times.

From: http://cycling.thenoisies.com/2005/03/sprouting-101-nutrition.asp

Here we have it, my version of sprouting. =)

Lets take a look at what we've got:



Above, we see a couple jars, and containers for them. For materials for sprouting, i suggest the following:
  • large, wide-mouthed jar (Adam's peanut butter jars are perfect, wide mouth makes getting sprouts out much easier)
  • window screening (the mesh stuff on porch doors, get it from hardware stores, be sure to wash thoroughly before using, seems to come covered in some weird oil)
  • elastic bands (i like the ones that come on broccoli)
  • drainage containers (recognize the Earth Balance margerine containers?)
Once you have the following, as well as some beans or seeds to sprout, you're ready to create life in your kitchen!


First, fill up the jar so you can't see the bottom when looking down. (You'll figure out what's good for you, but this is a good place to start.)



Next you'll want to fill the jar about 1/3rd of the way with water, make sure it covers all the seeds/beans with an extra inch or two. They'll expand quite a bit!

Leave it like this for 12-24hrs. If handy, empty and refill water once. Not necessary however.


After 24hrs, you'll want to drain out the water.....


....and then rinse the seeds/beans. You'll want to do this several times.


Once well-rinsed, use your container to allow the jar to sit on an angle to allow the extra water to drip out.

This is where things get a little busy - you'll want to rinse your sproutlings twice a day. I usually do this in the morning, and in the evening around dinnertime. Each time you rinse them, rinse several times, then leave to drain.

They say a cool, dark place is the best place for storing your sprouts. If you have room in a cupboard, that might be a good spot (as long as you won't forget about them!) I use a corner on the counter, seems to work fine!

After several days, you've hit paydirt!


Yummy, healthy sprouts waiting to be eaten!

I use a plastic container with holes and room for air to pass, otherwise they get mushy. Should last 3-5 days in the fridge, tho best to eat sooner than later.


Sprouts are an important part of my diet, so i've always got a couple jars on the go. In the pantry i keep all my sprouting seeds and beans together, and pre-mix my bean mix in a jar for quick and easy distribution.

When sprouting, best to keep the beans and seeds separate.

Some seeds and beans i like:

Beans (take 3-5 days to sprout)
  • mung beans
  • green lentils (other lentils are usually split and won't sprout)
  • red aduki beans
  • green peas (very yummy!)
  • chickpeas

Seeds (take 4-7 days to sprout)
  • broccoli seeds
  • red clover seeds
  • alfalfa seeds
A few other general tips:
  • don't try to sprout kidney beans, there is a toxic substance in them that needs to be neutralized with cooking. Most other beans are fine however.
  • alfalfa sprout shells are toxic, rinse in a large bowl of water when done to get rid of these (they float and sink, so easy to eliminate)
Enjoy!

Despite recent Dubai concerns and the moderate flight to safety in the US dollar, the currency remains near 15-month lows versus the euro. The weakness stems mainly from the US’ extraordinarily high debt level, $12 trillion or “12, followed by 12 zeros,” according to the Telegraph. There are numerous other reasons the Telegraph covers as to why the dollar is getting hammered, from excess money printing to the ultra-low interest rate. However, what’s most useful is the description of two ways in which the dollar is likely to be at the root of whatever crisis emerges next…

.S. stocks rose yesterday, so it would appear that Dubai’s reported troubles were overblown. Or were they? Initially, stock markets around the world sold off heavily on news that Dubai’s holding company, mega-developer Dubai World, was about to go under owing nearly $60 billion. When the story hit the news wires — unsurprisingly, on Thanksgiving Day — it sent Asian and European markets into a steep dive. U.S. stocks looked as though they would follow suit when index futures began to trade on virtual markets Thursday night. The electronic Dow contract, for one, was predicting that the Industrial Average would plummet more than 300 points at the bell. When the dust had settled, however, the day turned out better than one might have expected. The blue chip average, which had opened about 230 points lower, clawed its way back up to 10310 by day’s end. The net loss was a less-than-calamitous 150 points. How could it have been any worse than that when the world’s banks would rather shovel their liquidity at stocks and Treasury paper rather than make loans to businesses that in any case are not eager to borrow?

I. Rescuing the Dream
At the end of a week in mid-October when the Dow Jones soared past 10,000, Goldman Sachs recorded “just another fantastic quarter” with a $3.2 billion quarterly profit, JPMorgan Chase raked in a cool $3.6 billion, and a New York Times headline declared “Bailout Helps Revive Banks, And Bonuses,” I spent a Saturday evening with about 100 people camped out in a northern California parking lot. A passerby, stealing a quick glance, might have taken the crowd for avid concertgoers staked out for tickets. There was, however, no concert here — just weary, huddled souls, slouched in vinyl folding chairs, covered by blankets, windbreakers, and knit hats against a late autumn chill.

New reports from Iowa and North Carolina are raising concerns that the deadly H1N1 swine flu mutations that have been confirmed by the WHO in Ukraine, Norway and elsewhere have already reached the United States. In Iowa, a report that doctors are seeing “very heavy, wet hemorrhagic lungs, lungs with a lot of blood in them” in H1N1 patients is creating concerns among health experts that the deadly Ukraine H1N1 has already spread there. In addition, a report of Tamiflu-resistant H1N1 swine flu in North Carolina is raising questions about the ability of medical authorities to combat H1N1 if thousands of people do start dying. If deadly H1N1 swine flu mutations have already reached the United States, what does that mean? Doctors in Ukraine have been reporting that victims of H1N1 there are experiencing violent hemorrhaging in their lungs. As the patients near death, their lungs reportedly become as “black as charcoal” and literally begin to disintegrate. Will this start happening soon inside the U.S.?

Gold’s spectacular swoon on Friday provided fresh evidence that a red-hot bull market is in no imminent danger of cooling off. The initial plunge was orchestrated by bullion bankers and other promiscuous borrowers of gold when some unsettling financial news out of Dubai triggered a misbegotten panic into, of all things, dollars. Smelling blood, gold shorts pulled their bids when it looked as though the dollar was about to soar. Alas, the buck barely got off the launching pad before gravity re-asserted itself with a vengeance. The rally was so short-lived and feeble that it will have significantly diminished the dollar’s bizarre status as a “safe haven.” That in turn will make it harder in the future for the central banks of Europe, Japan and the U.S. to kick off an inevitable dollar-support operation with some “news” annnouncement designed to promote a short squeeze. Conversely, gold’s powerful, market-driven surge will now be even more difficult for officialdom to suppress, since Friday’s rebound was so swift and steep as to purge all doubts that bulls are overwhelmingly in charge.

The default in Dubai is not the beginning of Financial Meltdown 2. Don’t look for dominoes here. Yes, it does raise serious questions about the vast debt-overhang in emerging economies – particularly East Europe. But, this is not a “sovereign default” in the strict sense, nor is there any great risk of contagion. Oil-rich Abu Dhabi is loaded with liquid assets, possibly as much as $800 billion. They could pay off Dubai World’s measly $60 billion debt without batting an eye. But Abu Dhabi wants to send its wastrel younger brother a wake-up-call by forcing Dubai to restructure its debt. That means that banks, bondholders and contractors will have to take a haircut, which is not surprising given the abysmal condition of the commercial real estate market.

VOG: Gases in the volcanic fog

Hawaii volcano emissions prompt federal disaster declaration

Gases in the volcanic fog, or vog, from Hawaii Kilauea volcano are killing crops and costing Big Island farmers millions of dollars



Vog not only blankets plants with sulfur, it fills the air with microscopic particles that block needed sunshine.


WASHINGTON (HawaiiNewsNow) Dec 01, 2009 – Gases in the volcanic fog, or vog, from Kilauea volcano are killing crops and costing Big Island farmers millions of dollars, but help is on the way.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared Hawaii County a natural disaster area. The designation means farmers there can apply for low interest loans from the federal government.

It is estimated that 2,000 to 2,500 metric tons of sulfur dioxide billows from Kilauea's Halemaumau Crater on any given day.

The vog leaves leafy greens less than leafy. Flowers are not as colorful or healthy as they should be.

"We can wash our trucks in the morning and in the afternoon you rub your hand across the top of the truck and it feels like sand paper," said Phil Becker. Becker and his wife Merle own Aikane Plantation Coffee Company near Pahala on the Big Island's South side.

"We've only got about three plants left after about 181 is what we started with and we've only got three that are trying to survive. It's also impacted our cattle as far as the grass not recovering the way it usually does," Phil Becker told Hawaii News Now.

These days the Beckers are focusing their efforts on growing coffee ... and even that is suffering. This year's crop is about a third the size of a normal crop.

"We hope that the loans will be able to help the farmers because most of them are really impacted by this. And the income that they are planning on surviving on is not there and the expenses that they have just to keep their heads above water is atrocious. It's really bad," Becker said.

November 30, 2009 - White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs today brushed aside the concerns of more than 31,000 scientists who have signed a petition challenging the theory of man-made global warming


"There is NO convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

"Are you aware of a list, the published list of 31,000 scientists who oppose this idea of global warming?" Kinsolving asked.

"I don't doubt that there's such a list, Lester. I think there's no real scientific basis for the dispute of this," Gibbs said ...

You know about Dubai's economic crisis. But do you know the background to - and fallout from - the crisis?

An international satellite monitoring system to check countries comply with new climate change targets was proposed by Gordon Brown last night as a way of binding developing nations into a new deal on the environment.

The move towards artificially engineered foods has taken a step forward after scientists grew a form of meat in a laboratory for the first time.

China should use the shockwaves created by the Dubai crisis as an opportunity to buy gold and oil, a senior Chinese official who helps oversee some of the nation’s biggest enterprises was quoted as saying Monday.

Although some may have viewed President Barack Obama’s recent Asian trip as uneventful and perhaps unsuccessful, he appears to have recommitted to the principles of globalization as the answer to the world’s economic woes.

The Sunday London Times newspaper was removed by authorities from shelves in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday amid intensive reporting of Dubai's debt problems, an executive at the paper said.

During the Bush administration, the Justice Department did not file a single case under antimonopoly laws regulating a dominant firm. But that stretch seems unlikely to continue.

The CIA hired America's most famous magician to write a manual on the arts of trickery, concealment and secret communication during the Cold War.

With Chinese companies trying to gobble up western firms and brands (like Hummer) by taking advantage of the global financial crisis, there are many who wonder if China will some day dominate the western corporate world.

Osama bin Laden was "within the grasp" of US forces in late 2001 but escaped because then-defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld rejected calls for reinforcements, a hard-hitting US Senate report says.

The head of the US central bank said Saturday he was "concerned" by some congressional proposals aimed at regulating the US financial system that infringe upon the powers of the Federal Reserve.




World Health Organization (WHO) Consistently Downplaying Dangers of Mutated Flu Strains
Most people have figured out by now that we can trust the WHO as much as we can trust a baby to not spill milk.

They have consistently used scientific fraud to conduct their policies on the H1N1 pandemic.

Now, they are consistently downplaying what appears to be a virulent mutated or recombined H1N1 strain at least ten times the lethality of the swine flu observed earlier this year.

The agency recently reaffirmed its position that the pandemic vaccine is as safe as the seasonal flu vaccine.

Meanwhile a surge of deaths in Canada and Japan and severe side-effects have been reported from the vaccine ...

China expert warns of pandemic flu mutation
China must be alert to any mutation or changes in the behavior of the H1N1 swine flu virus because the far deadlier H5N1 bird flu virus is endemic in the country.

Obama’s Speech at West Point on Afghanistan: What He Dare Not Tell Us

Ron Larsen | What Obama will not tell us is that additional troops are needed to guard the opium poppy fields.




November 30, 2009 - During his address before the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Tuesday, December 1, expect President Obama to ask the American people to support his sending an additional 34,000 U.S. troops to fight for freedom in Afghanistan so that we do not have to fight radical, militant Islamic terrorism in the American homeland in coming years. He will probably refer to the shootings at Camp Hood allegedly committed by an Islamic military officer and psychiatrist with al-Queda connections earlier this month this month to convince us that al-Queda based terrorism constitutes a genuine threat to the safety of Americans, even those living in the homeland.

Obama will probably go on to say that the heroic American military troops fighting for freedom in Afghanistan since shortly after 9/11, have significantly reduced the numbers of al-Queda and Taliban insurgents fighting there and add that, nevertheless, the still pose of significant threat to the security of the people of that nation and so must be eliminated. Furthermore, he will likely add that to honor the American who died fighting there, he intends to finish the job started by President Bush shortly after the 9/11, which is to rid Afghanistan of al-Queda and Taliban fighters and then train Afghanistan troops to defend their own homeland.

That’s sweet Obama rhetoric. Let the violins play. But how does all of it square with the assertions General James Jones, Obama’s national security advisor, made on October 4 concerning the current strength of Taliban and al-Queda forces in Afghanistan and their danger to American troops and that nation’s people? According to an article published that day in the Washington Times, General Jones said that Afghanistan is not imminent danger of falling to the Taliban. Furthermore, he estimated total al-Queda presence in Afghanistan at 100, a drop in a bucket.


What Obama will not tell us is that additional troops are needed to guard the opium poppy fields because of record yields now achieved each year and expansion of growing area and that the opium industry there was designed by the United States over thirty years ago.

The opium trade is big business there and worldwide and revenues are comparable with energy industry levels. Professor writes in a 2006 article titled, Who benefits from the Afghan Opium Trade?, published by GlobalResearch.ca, “…what distinguishes narcotics from legal commodity trade is that narcotics constitutes a major source of wealth formation not only for organized crime but also for the US intelligence apparatus, which increasingly constitutes a powerful actor in the spheres of finance and banking. This relationship has been documented by several studies including the writings of Alfred McCoy.”

What Obama will also not tell us is that the growing presence of the U.S. is all consistent with Zbigniew Brzezinski’s master plan for America’s securing control of Central Asia and Caspian Sea gas and oil producing nations. Brzezinski, elitist master strategist and founder of the Trilateral Commission along with George Soros and David Rockefeller and well as former national security advisor to President Carter, see control of that corridor, which includes the old Silk Route, is the key to control of the world’s commerce. His plan was laid out in masterful detail in his 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard, which may be read free online at Scribd.

The presence of the U.S.military in Afghanistan is pivotal to execution of this plan. Whoever controls Afghanistan controls access to all of the major gas and oil pipelines in this region. It also serves from a logistical standpoint as the perfect staging area for U.S. military troop forays into Pakistan and neighboring countries in Central Asia and into the oil and gas rich Caspian Sea Region.

According to historian and author Webster Tarpley, Brzezinski met Obama when he was a student at Columbia University, became his political mentor and was responsible for Obama’s winning the U.S. presidency. Brzezinski still serves as Obama’s unnamed strategist and advisor. During the 2008 presidential campaign season, Obama’s focus on what he believe was a vital need of the U.S. to switch its military focus from Iraq to Afghanistan. This lends credibility to Tarpley’s contention that Brzezinski is guiding if no specifying Obama policy decisions in Afghanistan and Pakistan and, if fact, all of Central Asia, South Caucasus and the Caspian basin.
