re:"No animal (that I know of at least) knows about fermenting foods to produce helpful enzymes and such."

Actually, I think there ARE animals who go after certain fermented berries, maybe instinctively, maybe even learning about their effects, and passing on that knowledge to their offspring. But I appreciate what you're saying, James.

And not to drag mh in here again, but I seem to remember him telling a story recently, and being truly astonished: saying something about bees going wild for, wasn't it olive leaf, he had in a big dish? Something they almost certainly had not run across before, as it didn't grow anywhere these bees had been, and yet -- they 'learned' something, as soon as they were exposed to it. They were drawn to it.

Sadly, all of us are bearing the brunt of the effects of this planet's distruction.
If WE humans are trying everything to heal ourselves, no doubt all beings are.

this is esp. in regards to that grass-eating goose)



Interesting.


I keep thinking of how UT has been around for thousands of years, and it's not exactly hidden, yet it remains so, until whatever series of events come together--
be they arising out of desperation, or more and more seeing, or the 'grace' of the two.


Reflecting a bit more on this "animals don't drink their pee" argument that keeps bobbing up, all over, like a bad Shakespeare death scene, I can't help but add:

Humans don't play with mice either, batting them around as cats will.
nor do they chase their own tails.

Nor do they lick themselves all over -- which, it turns out, is a combination of
grooming and a feline version of UT. Something to look into.
