I wonder if any raw paleos in Florida go "free food!"

Looks like more people are discovering the fact that the appendix is actually useful. In this video there is also an explanation why people eating cooked meat may get B12 deficient:

Was there a time when there was not madness at large?

There was, just as there was a time with even more madness at large.

If you search for hidden human history (youtube,google etc) you will eventually find sources that tell a different story than what is called common knowledge. For example Nassim Haramein blends his scientific discoveries with some interesting theories on the ancient times.  Search "Nassim Haramein. Rogue Valley" on youtube.

 

I was fascinated by the survival story of these people in the wilds of Siberia.

Especially this: "Dmitry built up astonishing endurance, and could hunt barefoot in winter, sometimes returning to the hut after several days, having slept in the open in 40 degrees of frost, a young elk across his shoulders."

Imagine what is possible on a raw diet.

There is an aspect of compromise (regarding diet as well), but I'll let you read about it.

This is a documentary (if you understand the language).

Majormark, I listened a bit to this “Bashar” I had never heard of before. He’s funny but does he really bring something new and practically valuable? How to better practice raw paleo nutrition, for example? There have been plenty of such people pretending to have been somehow in contact with ET’s, but up to now the only result has been to discredit the UFO’s extraterrestrial origin hypothesis.

The value of those concepts is that it allows for a better understanding, a new perspective, of the "physics" of vibrations related to psychology and this gives us the opportunity to evolve, to get over some problems more easily.

Some of the Core Concepts of Bashar are explained here: iasos.com/metaphys/bashar/

The basic principles are listed on Darryl's site: bashar.org/aboutprinciples.html

I found another video where the issue of "open contact" is better explained (how, why and when):
Bashar - První kontakt aneb pro? jsme ješt? nep?istáli?

has anybody used vertical Tanning Beds? what was your experience?

I'm thinking it may be a good idea to get one but I would like to know if they are worth it in terms of reliability and effects. The alternative is to eat more fish (which I've been doing already).

Also, are there any sites from Europe that sell similar beds to the ones from Mercola (I mean in terms of UVA/UVB spectrum).

I think some crop circles are man made and some are not, due to the precision and timing.

Regarding "official" alien contact, according to theories - including Bashar, this will only happen if human consciousness evolves to a point where such a thing would not be detrimental to ourselves. It's more like when we discover an uncontacted tribe in the jungle. We normally don't go straight to them and show them some iPads to freak them out. In the same way, other evolved civilizations do not interfere directly on a large scale and wait for us to ease into this idea first and be somehow ready.

The only thing I use from time to time is salt and water.

There is also a book called Money By The Mouthful, written by a dentist that recommends exactly that.
Have a look here:

Hello,

What's your understanding/ idea of the subject of extraterrestrial life?

I used to think that, while extraterrestrial life can exist and some ufo's seen may have been real, they were probably
just passing by earth and were more like "look at those primitives, let's go to a planet that is more cool".

After I checked out some of Bashar's videos, it seems to be an ongoing communication between us and them through
certain individuals with the scope of helping us evolve.
Bashar seems to be standing out because his message is right up with the most inspirational thinkers of our time.
A guy named Darryl Anka says he is channeling this being through telepathy since 25 years or so.

Well, regardless of the accuracy of his description, the messages are really empowering.

Some examples (of many on youtube):

Bashar on surrender, excitement and anxiety

He also talks about a natural diet and detox here:
BASHAR - Circuite Sacre (Sacred Circuits) 2 [RO]

aLptHW4k4y,
you dont need to go to complete muscle failure to get results. I rarely do that and still have results, with the little amount of time I spent.
 
It does seem to work well even with free weights or body-weight exercises.  The thing with body-weight exercises is that you may notice the time under tension stays constant sometimes, but the in reality you may be moving more weight than last time so it's still a progress.

I think the lesson here would be that performing extreme cleansing continuously (as it seems to be the effect of most vegan diets) without giving the body the proper elements to rebuild may  not be a good idea. But, who knows.. maybe his detox protocols are valuable, although I never tried them.

One thing that helped me gain some weight lately is the free software called cron-o-meter (also available as an online service). I made sure to go over 2000 calories a day and some days I would even go over 3000.

Now, I know counting calories does not seem natural, but when I ate as much as I felt I needed it was usually under 2000 and my weight was dropping.

Another thing that contributed was consuming unfermented milk, miked with honey and closer to body temperature.
