  1. Resveritrol

    Ya Mu This is a different Resveritrol Ultra and should not be confused with what I bought. I have no opinion on that product. There seems to be a VERY wide range of ingredients and prices for this supplement. As well as claims as to which is better. What is a Tao Bum to do ??
  2. Is Micheal Jackson really dead?

    Karma. Nothing more.
  3. Resveritrol

    You are right SV. After placing my order, I got a phone call from someone wanting to confirm my shipment of some kind of wrinkle cream for $40. When I told him I did not order or want wrinkle cream he told me of the # I would have to call in order not to receive any charges . The product was Resveritrol Ultra. I did call the # and canceled, but I am weary. Bums beware.
  4. My entire family weeped throughout the movie "Up"

    It teaches a valuable life lesson. Life will bring you many wonderful things. Life will take away many wonderful things. It is all part of life. Enjoy it while you can.
  5. Burning Palm System

    Mr. Ape: Will your DVD be all inclusive, or will it be split up for each level?
  6. Burning Palm System

    I would not insult you with a price. If the price is say over $100, if you can split up the lessons so it won't be a big hit all at once.
  7. Burning Palm System

    Sounds exciting! I just hope it is not too expensive, or it is broken down in installments so a poor bum like myself can afford it. If so count me in!
  8. Burning Palm System

    Do you think it is possible to effectively learn the system from a book/dvd?. Would you consider putting on a workshop/ seminar to bolster the learning process?

  11. Detox Program

    I do a juice fast with psyllium + clay until I give birth to the magical "3 feet of greased rope". About every 6 months or when I start feeling sluggish.
  12. Getting Polyphasic by Easter

    Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland. It is activated by dark and light stimulus. You can take melatonin supplements, and use a blue- wave high intensity light such as used for treatment of SAD.
  13. Broken rib

    Rolling around with my nephew Sunday, I must have snapped a rib. Intense pain and I can feel it grinding when sitting or standing. Just my luck, I have a job interview Thursday. Any suggestions on speeding up healing process?
  14. Getting Polyphasic by Easter

    This is common among brainwave entrainment enthusiasts. They use brainwave entrainment tools to achieve specific brainwave patterns of sleep, notably theta and delta. It is said that 20 minutes in theta is equivalent to 4 hours sleep. It is prevalent during REM sleep when we dream. Delta is the slowest brainwave pattern and is prevalent when the body repairs and restores it's self. Practitioners have good results getting as little as 2 hours sleep in the short term, but it catches up to them in the long run. Problem is that we are wired to sleep at night, and be active in daylight. The brain produces melatonin after dark, which makes us drowsy and sleep. When sunlight hits our retina in the morning, it changes the melatonin to seritonin, a hormone associated to feelings of joy and well being. Babies produce a lot of melatonin and the production gradually slows. That is why babies sleep a lot and seniors don't. When you mess with your circadian rhythm, your brain quits producing melatonin like it should. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant. That is why shift workers have shorter life spans. I would only mess with my natural sleep cycle if I had to.
  15. THE MOST POWERFUL FULL MOON OF THE YEAR

    I thought that the full moon gives you both yang from the heavens (moon and sun) and yin from reflected light off the earth. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  16. Broken rib

    Thank you for all your advise and well wishes. While not as painful as before, any movements still produce a bone on bone grind. Sneezing and hic ups are torture. I did make it through the interview without grimacing, but I can't help to think that I could have done better if 100%. Only time will tell.
  17. Broken rib

    I live in the Detroit metro area, S.E. Michigan. If you know of anyone that would be great! I have applied a herbal balm that contains arnica for some relief.
  18. Interesting thread on a brainwave entrainment site. To which I replied: Any comments?
  19. EEG results for brainwave entrainment

    The quote comes from the Transparent Corp community board. Transparent develops and sells brainwave entrainment software that allows you to make your own tracks such as the i doser. They also sell EEG hardware.
  20. Great little video

    Music is great! Very inspiring! Enjoy the Ride
  21. Great little video

    A lot of it I try to strive for considering myself a taoist. I just need to be reminded every now and then. It took beautiful music and cute kids for someone, a non taoist, to notice it and send it to me. I don't think it was meant to be gospel, just a gentle reminder.

  23. killed a bug

    If something is out to kill me or do me or my family harm, I have no problem killing them. Mosquitoes kill thousands of humans and animals. Most spiders are beneficial, as they kill mosquitoes. Flies are a health problem. If they leave me alone, I leave them alone. Attack me and I put my martial arts training to action!
  24. killed a bug

    I too used to love to fly fish. Catch and release was the creed. Like you, I had a change of heart. The absurdity of catching fish and returning it so you or someone else could have the fun of catching it again turned my stomach. After years of not fishing, I have recently taken the sport up again. This time when I catch a fish, I eat it!
