Well you just linked an image to a book cover and I checked it out finding immediately reasons why not to trust the book. Perhaps the advice is sound, I don't know, but I tend to distrust books that claim to be based on science but are more of a personal story. I especially cringe at this type of book that claims it's busting a myth only to have alot of hot air. Choosing good sources has nothing to do with pro- or con-vegetarianism and as I think we discussed before, I'm not exactly vegetarian myself.

Not really: It was the topmost review and the problems cited were relevant. I don't plan to spend 15 bucks to find a book basing 30% of itself on wikipedia, one authors experiences or rumors when it claims to be some kind of debunking book. Yes it was only one example. I could give more, but I thought it was enough. There were others with pages cited. You can read the full review. Indeed, alot of my health problems disappeared when I threw out gluten and most of the artificial sugar. I would suggest this is the main reason. Alot of vegetarians eat way too much gluten. We could give more stories how things changed for the better but they serve no purpose since we are only giving one view. Anecdotal evidence isn't enough to rely on regarding diets. Exemplary lifestyle with gluten? Please... Ideologies come and go. It's best to follow your instincts and what you want, not books based on bias. So what did you eat as a vegetarian? Can you imagine someone doing better?

I wouldn't be so judging of the butcher but otherwise I agree with you. There will be resistance to change from people.

The best tip I can give is to avoid food fanatics and do rigorous fact checking. You will find alot of stories in circulation are made up or their interpretation is skewed. The folks using them are plenty and they will try to mess with your head and health. In my country they are mostly low-carb folks who took first place from vegans many years ago and have kept it since. Even they are starting to calm down after the constant seeking of ketosis turned sour. Try different things and learn to trust your intuition. I think you will find your way.

According to the top commenter who gave The Vegetarian Myth one star on amazon page the author thinks there are no bacteria in the stomach that alone should set off some warning bells that it's not a book to look for serious dietary advice. Quote from the review:

Isimiz Biri, you will remember we made peace before and I hope you will still have the good will to listen to what I have to say. I think you are not representing your beliefs positively here by disrespecting others or judging them quickly and harshly. You will find that people will listen when you are kind and patient. If you are harsh they will close their hearts to you and will not be able to know truth from lie. Reflect on how you are acting here(and perhaps in "real life") if not for your own sake then for the sake of the religion and beliefs you represent.

Since there seems to quite an emphasis on initiations in XYP, would you say it's possible to work with this system without the physical initiation? I know connections of this nature are best transmitted in person but how much of a difference is there between non-initiate and initiate?

More full lotus motivation for us still working to get there. Thanks!

" Georgia shows off skull thought to rewrite human evolution (Update) Georgian scientists on Friday presented a 1.8 million-year-old skull discovered in the Caucasus nation that researchers say could force a re-evaluation of current theories of human evolution. The skull—unearthed in the medieval town of Dmanisi some 100 kilometres (62 miles) southwest of the capital Tbilisi—is the first completely preserved skull found from that period. Along with four other skull samples uncovered at the site, it appears to show that early man was a single species with a wide range of looks rather than several distinct species. "Today in this skull—and the other Dmanisi samples—we see all the features lumped together in one group that we previously thought identified different groups," David Lordkipanidze, Georgia's national museum director, told AFP after a presentation in Tbilisi on Friday. " ... Thoughts?

I think if you started a new thread about specific books/techniques by their Chinese names(like 易筋經 / Yijinjing) or in English like Marrow Washing it might draw more answers. Okinawan Kiko is something I think rather few people know about.

Taken from the article linked in the OP: I was going to say the leg kicks were brutal in the demo from the article but the punches to the back of the head and kidneys, ballpunching... damn.

I sometimes can only logout if I close the browser. This happens with both midori and firefox(linux). I haven't tried replicating what causes it but I have a hunch it may be related to flash-videos. So could it be a flash cache issue?
