on Crazy Crystal People Part 3: The Shinier the Better – Light Bed Therapy

July 26th 2010 04:37
If you are interested in crystals you should look into the hard science of them, use of crystals in science, and then work out why the pseudosciencers have these beliefs. It may give you some superb insights. Note the relationship of main colours of the rainbow spectrum to chakras. It is a bit like ancient greek god stories are mnemonics.You should also look into colour theory. Consider that animals are attracted to certain colours like bower birds to blue, and budgies to glowing ultraviolet pigments on the feathers of the opposite budgie gender, also sunlight and seasonal affective disorder and there are some psychological studies of the effect of colour on mood. So there might be an incywincy tiny little bit of truth amongst the pseudodross after all. Have fun.

on Does Sudoku Stop Dementia? (And can budgies stop telemarketers?)

Hmm, wish I'd had enough smarts to hide my Mum's equal, splenda and softdrinks. It's crazy you know all this non-nutrition. It is causing the healthcare crisis.
I believe she got mental illness from artificial sweeteners and diabetes from trans-fats foods and from a recommended diet where half of it was comprised of wheat, corn and dairy. How is that a balanced diet Australian nutritionists? I feed extra grains to my budgies when I want to fatten them up a bit for showing, and farmers do the same with cattle. Maybe if at least 50% of her nutrition was from fruit and vegetables (what we have been living on for centuries) she wouldn't have diabetes. But I can't prove it. Maybe you can? A life-times work I imagine.

No it won't stay on in the rain, reapply each week or after rain. I don't know if it works for slugs, but it works for the little insects.

Have you tried crushing a few cloves of garlic or onion and mixing it in water to make a spray for your plants to repel the bugs and slugs?

Hi Thoraiya,

I found your fascinating website whilst researching budgies and was surprised to find dementia in the same article because in one of those weird co-incidences I breed exhibition budgies and started working with dementia patients a few months ago. Stranger still, a lady I recently sat next to on a plane introduced me to sudoku to help solve the puzzle.
I think you are the person I am meant to express my suspicions why more and younger people getting dementia particularly women as young as 40.
(That's me in ten years!!! Sobering thought...)
Has anyone investigated a link between dementia and the ingestion of artificial sweetners sodium saccharin, aspartame and plastic in our food chain? Artificial sweeteners are in toothpaste which is also ingested. (I don't think I should recommend any toothpastes to anyone no matter how many free samples they give to me with all these chemicals in them. So much so, I have started making my own.)
Your thoughts?

Cheers,
Natalya.
