Letter To A New Shmooo Eater

Hi Penny,
For the past week I have been trying to sort out why your reaction to the first use of the shmooo was confined to a private message, I hold you in high regard for a variety of reasons. I suppose that's a stuffy way of saying I like you. ...and trust you.

You were the only one who engaged in any appreciable effort to come to grips with my housing issue. I thought that the problems I posed for the readers in general were ones that could increase their skills in dealing with similar difficulties.

Such groundless evictions are happening to millions of people now, most often at the hands of banks, but the principles are very much the same. Taking advantage of the convolutions in the law which overbalance the law in favor of the more powerful party. This is not something that just takes place within the U.S. The details differ, but this sort of inequity goes on throughout the world.

I have come to the conclusion that you have received a certain amount of "guidance" about your participation with me which limited your options.

I note that your further speculations about the next probable events have apparently come to a close. This, and the private message comment about your first experience with shmooo lead me to believe that there are some politics going on that I know nothing about.

Otherwise I think your comments would have gone up on the thread which detailed my experiences with the shmooo, so that the single voice of the innovator would not be the only one heard.

That was why I was so pleased to send you your shmooo, and went to considerable effort with U.S. and Canadian Customs to assure the delivery without arbitrary and incorrect seizure and to prevent you having to pay any duty on the shipment to receive it.

And on the other subject we had had some conversations about, that was also why I shared with you my thoughts on the cuff link design ideas which fit in so nicely with what you are doing with jewelry.

All I was hoping for was the candid opinion of another person about this potentially extremely useful food crop. My pride over this highly nutritious vegetable/spice is frankly pretty boundless. That makes my lone voice not very compelling. I am the proud papa.

And my learning curve with shmooo is far from over. I know with a certainty that it is an unusually nutritious green food, and that a person could probably live well for extended periods of time with shmooo as the primary food. In my load testing of the shmooo, I even went for some days with shmooo as my sole food, with highly favorable results. That, and eating in excess of half a pound a day combined to convince me that there was no downside whatsoever to the use of this very healthy food..

But there is no data whatsoever about the exact nutritional makeup of the leafy greens and buds. The nutraceutical industry has only gone for the seeds, plowing the rest of the plant under.

When I started my agricultural experiments, my emphasis was on searching for nutritious crops which could be plantied without conventional farming practices. No fuel expenditure, no plowing, no weeding, no conventional irrigation, no daily watering, no pampering of any kind..

I was not searching for a perfect diet/energy food. (I still don't know if it is perfect, and perhaps I won't know with ironclad certainly for a few more years.) And though I have eliminated a great deal of the production cost on the growing side of the equation, I have not worked out the same labor saving for harvesting and inspection, assuring the perfection that I strive for in everything I do.

In terms of using it as a crop providing fresh produce, the fresh leaves may not be the best for the produce market, or may require some special methods to keep the fresh greens appealing for the same time as other fresh produce. I don't know.

I know that I like it best freshly picked. But my current emphasis is using the dried vegetable in my cooking.

And my loading experiments on myself indicate a virtual certainty that there are not cumulative toxic effects from eating too much. Had I done the same experiments with spinach, another very nutritious vegetable, I would have suffered the effects of excessive oxalic acid intake.

With certainty, there is no liability of this sort with shmooo. I have not been this excited this early in the development process of any idea I have ever generated. Even with the cold and flu prevention, I did not begin teaching others in a really active way for six years. Then, in the last eighteen years i have taught the procedure to many hundreds of people every year.

Since I first taught it on the Forum, only a couple of years ago, readers have viewed it more than 20,000 times. I have no idea how many of them do it or how many of them have taught others how to do it. This has been a donation to the world of health.

Compare that to what the medical industry has done. This year the tab for getting a flu shot is $35.00.
Five years ago, a flu shot was about $5.00. And now you can go into a drug store and find swabs with a special ingredient that has no particular additional value over the simple procedure I started a quarter of a century ago, so that the procedure I developed, and gave to anyone and everyone who would listen, could be sold at incredible and unconscionable profit.

Know what Penny? I once wrote to Nick to get his input about my writing some ideas and opinions about cancer and the cancer industry. This was after some other threads had generated some flack. I was not even given the courtesy of a response, and therefore did not write on the subject.

I have a second blog now with some selections from my several thousand posts from various places on the internet. If you have constraints on what you say here, or on how you go about saying it, I would make you welcome there.

Update: Well, the dear lady Emailed me back to let me know that other matters had intervened to prevent her more public response. Pressures are so great on me right now, I'm afraid I was oversensitive.. Having to fight for my home against an unscrupulous seller has me pretty much on edge. The seller just hired a lawyer to go after me. I do not have the same luxury.

I think I will go wipe the egg off my face.
