get a load of my latest post on the glyco forum.

Trapper/kcmo, ParaZapper, and HOppy,

Thank you so much for posting your thoughts.

It's wonderful thing to share information, even guesses, because we all advance so quickly, and in directions we've not yet imagined.

It's my guess that there must be some other sources at work, supplying us with important micro-organisms...I'm still breathing. (Grin.)

Trapper, I have some Pascalite that I am slowly learning to use. I use only tiny amounts at a time because I know there is only a small supply of it on earth. I don't know what has been 'done' to it to prepare it for market...but I will find out.

In a documentary on the migrations of African animals it was discovered with time-lapse photography that the wildebeasts followed certain narrow trails through the plains, year after year, while all the other animals either followed other trails or ranged free.

They tested the soil and found that the wildebeasts were following lines of a particular trace mineral. (It was one that we know, but I have forgotten.) Apparently the wildebeast needs much of it, from the grasses.

A wholistic practitioner we know, spent 9 months with Inuit people of the high North.

He was taken hunting on the ice over the Arctic Ocean. (On a snowmobile or somesuch, I believe.)

He told me they traveled hundreds of miles. Coming home, he was offered the chance to drive, but he refused. He knew that the Inuit hunters could travel huge distances and return to within fifty meters of where they started, on instinct alone.

His companion was surprised that this man couldn't. "You are so smart."

Apparently creatures have instinctive knowledge that we are either born with or learn. Maybe we can recognize characteristics of the things we need the most, like the tastiest grasses, or the windsmell of home.

Perhaps there really are additional 'minds' within our bodies, or cells. Maybe this is why it is wise to stay near home.

Or, perhaps we can adapt to supplies brought in from all over the world. I think it all depends on the friendly micro-organisms we encounter.

Thanks, everyone.
