Ric, Thanks for looking after my nuts for me! I'll be looking for organic raw peanuts and sunflower seeds too when they come into season (around December I hear.) A 25# bag of each would be no problem. These I can get from Jaffe if a better source doesn't show up, however. Even more ideal from my perspective would be to find a local distributor who would carry them --- saves on UPS charges. If your grower has truckloads of nuts that he wants a market for, I could try to introduce him to Country Life Natural Foods here in Michigan, where I get some of my more local mail-order stuff, but they don't have as many organic options as I would like. Judging from the people you've hung around with (Airola, Fry), I guess you're probably an old-timer yourself, but you write with the youthful energy of a 20-something guy! And you seem to live all over the planet! I did manage to preserve your Airola bio for posterity in an Ascii file on my hard drive. Maybe it will make an appearance in Ward's "Natural Hygiene Many-To-Many" newsletter one of these days. Did you have any other famous friends, like Paul Bragg, for example? And what ever became of some of those non-hygienic wondermen like Bob Hoffman and Charles Atlas? For blood parameters, I think D.J. Scott of Cleveland probably has a good idea of what "normal" parameters should be. He's always poking hygienists and sucking their blood, but so as I know, he's not into publishing his results. Bob
