Do you want to know the safe alternative to warding off disease that does not include taking a poisonous vaccine? That alternative is a healthy immune system. By eating factory processed foods that contain preservatives, GMOs and all sorts of artificial ingredients, we are weakening our immune systems and leaving ourselves open to all sorts of illnesses.
In this fast-food day and age we have traded health for convenience. We go to the nearest store and get the latest quick fix food invention loaded with poison, pop it in the microwave, then go to the nearest clinic for vaccinations to ward off the impending diseases that we might get because we are systematically destroying our natural defenses.
Eating healthy and building up a strong immune system is essential for survival, and it is time we woke up to that fact. There is no magic vaccine bullet that will cure a lifetime of neglecting one’s immune system. The answer lies in healthy foods chock full of natural vitamins and minerals.
Sprouting is one of the ways to give our bodies a shot in the arm of high-density nutrition. Here is a rare video of Dr. Ann Wigmore, formerly of the Creative Health Institute (chiDiet) on sprouting.

Thanks Barbara,
For this reminder about sprouts. In general, the nutritional value of sprouts, pound for pound, is greater than the plants they would grow up to be and the seed they come from. They require minimal processing for consumption, yet can be added to almost any other dish, after cooking, if one is cooking.
They are an ideal crop for the homesteader or the city dweller because the are grown indoors in controlled conditions. One can grow more than 100 lbs per week in four square feet of floor space if you stack sprouting boxes from floor to ceiling so it is an easy matter to produce surplus for your neighbors. That is, year round gifts, trades or cash crops.
Because of their rapid growth, one could do some fine experiments by adding fulvic/humic acids with minerals to your soak and or rinse water and perhaps producing a unique super sprout. Likewise with water. Change the energy of your filtered or distilled water and see how the sprouts respond. Anything which benefits the sprouts, most likely benefits the sprout consumer.
About a month ago I went looking for seed for sprouting and found it fairly expensive, which justified the high prices I observed for organic sprouts at Whole Foods. I imagine if we bought and stored seed in bulk quantities of 25 and 50 pounds, the seed costs would come down some. I only saw 1 pound quantities in the few places I checked for seed purchase.
The frosting of the cheap and easy food production cake here, is that seeds and nuts are perfect survival storage foods. Dense, space saving, hi energy, especially when sprouted. Great insurance against successive poor harvests from the garden. If stored in pure co2 or a vacuum, they can remain viable for years. If I was to begin a local food business it would be home delivery as it was 60 years ago and I would start with fresh organic sprouts and juices as my basic products. And I might do it soon. Such a business would justify substantial storage and rotation would keep fresh seed on hand.
