I'm not trying to push my luck here, but I ascribe to the idea of "listening" to what ones body tells you it needs and wants and I'm pleased to read that many of the simple things you suggest are the same things my body tells me it wants day after day.

As for Capsaicin, that has been a hobby of mine this past year as I grew ghost peppers from seed even though most of the peppers ended up being tabasco hybrid plants, but boy were they profligate (edit:

ha, ha - I mean prolific) and I saved almost all the peppers in a concentrate that I jarred for future use. Ghost Peppers, tobasco, cayenne, banana, jalapeno, and others all mixed together gloriously with vinegar salt and tomato concentrate - it is easy to grow this if your soil is fertile and well taken care of with diligence and love. My friend gave me the ghost pepper seeds and at first I complained about the prolific tobasco peppers, but now I appreciate them for what they were and next year I will grow them again.

Of the other items on your list, I enjoy grapes just about every day and that includes natural grapes in the morning usually with breakfast and grapes via wine both white and red on many days I won't deny. I am a big fan of almonds and enjoy pistachios as well.

One time, when I was on a job near Bakersfield CA we went to the Wonderful factory cafeteria (literally), and let me tell you that place was nice! All the trees, the almond ones and pistachio ones as well were nearby. If memory serves, but maybe it doesn't that was the same trip where we met with the fella who had a guacamole farm (avocados) - there is big money in that little did I know.

Like I said - I listen to my body and I trust it to tell me what it wants. Today I want some resolution, but I don't always get what I want.

Keep it coming and I'll study up on this - it is appreciated......I think solutions is what we need because a lot of harm has been sent out and caused and there must be remedy. There just must be.

Sometimes the best remedy though is Justified Retribution if you know what I mean.

Best to you and I'll try to stay abreast of this and that.
