Is anyone else interested in Ayurveda or learning more about it? I have no formal training, besides a life long self education from the community I live in, but I would love to discuss if anyone would like to learn more. Thanks!

I always thought the Ayurvedic thing was interesting but weird and sometimes I couldn't wrap my head around it. Like, don't followers of Ayurveda avoid garlic and onions? Or is that just a TM movement specific thing. I always remember when I worked at Calabria's Pizza back in the day, that we couldn't put onions on the pizzas that were for slices, because all the TM folks wouldn't eat them. Always thought that was bizarre because garlic and onions are not only super delicious, but super healthy.

Hmm.. I sleep with my body (head) pointing East, but my face is obviously *looking* South. Is that what you mean?

What is the significance?

garlic and onion get used more like you would medicine, too strong for daily consumption :)

pointed east :) everything is about the sun. ideally you'd have a house facing east, where the sun rises, when you walk out your front door. :)

Ive tried both chlorella and that other stuff. None of it worked on me. Probbaly due to a calcium shell,

I looked into this awhile back, in my mid-20s, and couldn't really get behind the philosophy of it since it doesn't jive with what I personally believe. Plus, I thought I fit in two different categories of the three and it tells you what to eat and seems to favor vegetarianism. Forgot about the onions and garlic thing. Onions and garlic are super healthy and should be added to recipes, especially Italian ones. Just be sure to brush your teeth after before breathing in someone's direction or get an Altoid. :) It also recommends a lot of grains.

Personally, I think just cutting out sugar and flour is doing wonders for me and removing inflammation I suspected, but didn't know for sure, I had. That being said, with any major change to diet and lifestyle, be sure to supplement appropriately. Have been having major hamstring and calf cramping and think it's from a depletion of minerals like potassium and magnesium. Will start eating more bananas and potatoes and may supplement potassium. Already supplementing with magnesium.
