Finallyfaith started this topic at the top of page 88, to discuss growing algae at home.

I feel this subject is vitally important, so I want to call your attention to this thread.

Please take a look. Ana also has some terrific information.

Subject: More about algae - they make oxygen, for example...

From bits of information over years of reading and asking questions...

...Life-giving nutrients come from rock, in water, over time.

...Volcanic rock works fastest because it's loaded with little holes, which allow far greater rock surface to be exposed to erosion. Also works well because volcanic activity mixes elements from wide areas. Sand in soil is rock. Compacted soil (and clay) resists erosion by water.

...Microscopic organisms carry nutrients into plant roots. No microscopic organisms means no nutrition for plants. It's as simple as that.

...Sunlight is important for both photosynthasis (sp?) and warmth; therefore, the depth of the water must suit the variety of algae. The water's flow rate must also be appropriate.

...Some claim that the variety, Aphanazomenon flos aqua, wild-grown in Klamath Lake, is the most nutritious for man. (I can testify to its effectiveness, having felt the amazing glow of well-being, plus health improvements. This is the food that started my health awareness journey.)

...Others claim that the area in Klamath Lake (Oregon) where this algae grows, is contaminated by both farm animal and urban run-off. Although, I can't see how this can be true with the extensive independent laboratory testing done by Cell Tech.

...Darryl Coleman (sp?) is no longer active in Cell Tech, but he felt that ponds of this variety of algae, to equal the size of the state of Colorado, would replenish the world's oxygen. Since lack of oxygen, world-wide, concerns me, I've searched for his thoughts on backyard algae ponds. Can't find anything. Maybe I need to search again.

...Lake Chad, in Africa, was the only other vast growth area for Aphanazomenon flos aqua, although it was considered polluted. Several years ago I heard that Lake Chad was reduced to one quarter its size by drought. Don't know its condition now.

Perhaps the best thing to do is to move to Klamath Falls, and swim with the algae from time to time.

This is the best I know about fresh-water algae. And that water is purified by falling over rocks. And that water is affected by words and sounds (and probably thoughts), according to the proof discovered by Masura Emoto. That's why I bless and appreciate water, out loud or in writing, at every opportunity.

All water molecules on Earth (including the water in every cell in living bodies) are connected by vapour.

I love you...I appreciate you.
