Hi All, I'm new to the group, just joined and trying to understand the foreign language you are speaking! What is EM? And can anyone please send me a link to...
Hi and welcome! EM = Effective Microorganisms. It is a product, and there is a lot about it on the web, though I don't recall their home website offhand. As...
It might vary by person. Kefir bacteria/yeast are really helpful for a lot of people, but I don't recall anyone who has taken both of them to compare them. And...
Heather, Personally, I am partial to garlic because it kills a lot of the bad guys and helps the immune system. I also try to put a lot of flax seed, ground,...
I have a couple of old crocks that were my grandma's. They each have some cracks in them, and one has been repaired with ? who knows what (knowing my mother,...
I love garlic too. I haven't noticed it helps my gut much, but it does seem to keep viruses at bay. However, I was addicted to garlic since I was a kid, so I...
You know, it probably doesn't matter. Fact is, most home ferments use these hyper-ballistic bacteria that take over any venue. Think crabgrass. If your grandma...

Wood is really iffy as a weight. Unless you cut down the tree yourself. But even if it is just plain wood, trees have their own chemicals. Cedar and pine wood...
Heather, How would I know if a bowl I have is low or high fire? It's a modern one made by someone at a craft fair, and it is completely glazed (including the...
If you've been around clay for awhile, you can tell by "pinging" it with your finger. High fire clay is really dense and heavy. It also lasts forever. The...
Thanks for the information, Heather. Wow, I would never deliberately throw ceramic to see if it would break! I'm glad you didn't ruin a piece on my behalf! :)...
Hee hee. No, I wouldn't throw them either, except that, you see, I am MAKING them so there are a ton of extras or ones with slight malformations. I'm trying to...

Yes, any "ok for eating" ceramic can work. There are these little cups called "condiment cups" that are about the right size for most jars, and some lids work...
That's cool. Can you post the link to the document? Some people like to use "natural" mined salts, and those do have extra minerals. But which minerals depends...

One thing he can do QUICKLY is: 1. Go to a local health food store and get some bentonite. Take 1/4 tsp. with each meal. or 2. Get a bottle of Pepto Bismol....
He's got the clay with him but he was miserable tonight! The truth is he will do all he's suppose to do until he feels better and then he stops and when it...
Hi Folk, I made my first batch of kombucha and let it sit for 5weeks. It tastes like it should but it seems to be missing the fizz when opening the bottle like...
Getting "fizz" in bottled drinks, esp. naturally fermented ones, is an art! There is lots written about it. But most of the beer you buy, and maybe the...
