    Hi John. I watched your excellent video on Shade Cloth. I am looking to make a similar setup and am curious where you bought the metal poles and if the metal poles have a specific name or type that will make it easier to find them for sale! Could you help?
    Keep up the great work! THANKS!

    Do you currently sell any plants or seeds? I'm having trouble locating plants I want. I've had to buy from multiple sources. Longevity spinach is hard to find along with potato mint, mushroom plant, even Pineapple mint. Rickters is my next order but still no Longevity spinach and the shipping brings up the cost.

    Just a quick point on alcohol in general. The invention, and widespread use of wine, and many beers, was water treatment & food storage. Wine (Rum) kills nasty bacteria in water supplies, and beers are a good way to store calories during long periods of non-productivity. Hard liquor has always been a prime disinfectant. The tranquilizing, and/or, deleterious side effects were just a "pleasant" side effect.

    Like many, many, things, we have forgotten the "why" of the original reason humanity had for things so the arguments either for, or against, get skewed & forgotten.

    If you do not need to sustain yourself on "bottled calories" or disinfect river water, is there really a reason to continue to tolerate the toxic effects?

    Over simplified, It's the massive debt loads Dr's, and other professionals, have to accumulate to become "professionals". It is counter-productive to overall health because it incentivizes symptom treatment Vs patient care.

    I enjoyed the last video wit Dr. Jeff as well. Yes, I totally agree that we are in charge of our health. Right before you mentioned skincare, I was saying I hope he touches skincare and household products. I love working in the garden and soaking up the sun.

    In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with a glass of red wine with dinner. The problem is overindulgence. Too many people especially in the US equate drinking with getting drunk and there is the problem. Even too many green juices can lead to problems. Too many oxalates from green juices can lead to negative side effects.

    Thanks for mentioning β€œtype 2” diabetes. As many of us know type 1 is not reversible. It takes daily insulin injections or pump for survival in addition to diet and exercise.

    John -You don't seem to be up on the fact that allopathic western medical doctors, who you keep interviewing, are trained primarily in how to help people live with their "diseases" using drugs and surgery. They don't know nearly as much as naturopathic doctors who are trained in natural health.

    When are you going to have on doctors trained in natural health like Dr. Robert Morse who is not only a Naturopathic doctor but also a Master Herbalist and a Biochemist?

    Naturopathic doctors spend just as many years in medical school learning the science of Nature and how our anatomy and physiology can benefit from aligning ourselves with Nature and eating a species appropriate diet – which for humans is a "frugivoorish" diet of mostly raw fruit and the fruit like vegetables with seeds like cucumbers.

    The next time you are in Port Charlotte, FL you should interview Dr. Robert Morse who has a giant food forest/fruit orchard in his back yard. Of course he is a PhD biochemist, naturopathic doctor, master herbalist, author, founder of a program to teach people to help people detox which is a pre-requisite that needs to take place before someone can fully heal. He also has the most common sense /proof about how the human immune system REALLY works that medical doctors are still clueless about and what everyone can do to facilitate a healthy immune/(lymphatic) system.

    I garden to avoid all the chemicals that screw up my immune system and more.
    i have two oranges I kept hesitating to eat for some reason I couldn't figure out, they are still on my counter 5 months later and still look good enough to eat.

    I mentioned this in a recent video John. You were a major influence for me to start juicing. In fact, I just got home from buying a bunch of organic produce to juice and your video popped up just as I finished putting the stuff in the fridge. I started watching your videos because I'm a gardener for 50 years now. You make it more interesting. πŸ‘πŸ‘
