Sunny, It takes some research on your part. Here is a start for some of the more common supplements: http://www.mcvitamins.com/Vitamins/vitamins-in-food.htm
I did searches on all the plants I came across in the area where I live. You will be surprised at what is available to you locally. For example, I am located near an ocean and several type of kelp are available nearby. In some instances I ask family in other states to send me some plant material they have easy access to me. Or for seeds or root to allow me to grow my own. Then you will need to decide whether to just dry and store the plant or whether making a tincture or extract is the best way to store the supplements. You will also probably want to develop a way to powder the plant material. Leaves aren't so bad but dried roots and similar plant parts can be more difficult to powder. Below are some databases that will help in determining the beneficial components in a plant. I also do google searches with the plant name and "benefits" in the search box. The databases below are very powerful if you make the effort to learn how to use them. The databases will even tell you what part of the plant contains the nutrient that interests you most. Databases: http://www.leffingwell.com/plants.htm http://www.ars-grin.gov/duke/ http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/dukeindex.html http://www.ars-grin.gov/duke/syllabus/ (esp. Module 2) If you need a plant that is not available locally, then look for bulk plant sources. One I have used a lot is: http://www.herbalcom.com/. Also, look into sprouting dried seeds that are readily available in the supermarket and are inexpensive such as beans, brown rice, peas, lentils, alfalfa, etc. Sprouted seeds can have very concentrated amounts of nutrients that exceed what is available from the seed without sprouting or from the mature plant. Annie seems to know a lot of low cost sources as do others on the list. Ask when you have trouble finding an affordable source for something. Take your time and do it slowly and don't get discouraged. It will take time and you may find the learning experience very enjoyable. And you can do it inexpensively. - Steve N From: Sunwaterclear - Sunny [mailto:sunwatercl...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 9:10 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>Vitamin C and Hardening of the Arteries John I admire your attention to health. And I'm wondering two thing.. how much must it cost to take all these supplements and if we dont have those kind of funds, where can we obtain this naturally. Could it be by growing a forest garden? I'm serious here... when I had money I'd buy all this stuff.. and start a regime.. but to be naturally healthy these days it appears one has to also have a lot of 'money-energy'. No griping here, I chose a life of simplicity to divest myself.. but wellness is paramount. Can anyone share how we can get these nutrients more naturally.. for example, berries from a bush and food that is readily available locally? That would be a challenge... and thanks to you all for your astounding knowledge sharing.. with love sunny ________________________________________ From: Dorothy Fitzpatrick <d...@deetroy.org> To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tue, January 12, 2010 6:52:23 AM Subject: Re: CS>Vitamin C and Hardening of the Arteries Crumbs John, its amazing you have time to teach in between taking all that <lol>! dee On 12 Jan 2010, at 10:41, John E.
