Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality

Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural VitalityHow to effectively use colloidal mineral and trace element supplements to compensate for the deficiencies in our diet that cause ill health

â?¢ Includes a complete list of all trace elements and their ideal combinations for addressing health imbalances

â?¢ Examines why our food is no longer nutritious enough to supply the body's mineral and trace element needs and how to address this problem

Much of the ill health and lack of vitality people complain of today can be traced to a deficiency of minerals and trace elements in our diets. The food we eat is no longer keeping us healthy. Modern farming methods have depleted the natural mineral reserves of the soil, and as a result the foods we eat are increasingly deficient in the nutrients needed for proper functioning of the body.

Minerals are essential catalysts that allow vitamins, enzymes, and other nutrients to perform their necessary roles in the body and promote proper mental function. Simply taking standard mineral supplements will not correct any imbalances we may experience because our bodies are designed to best absorb and use minerals that are in a colloidal form: the soluble suspended state in which plants absorb minerals from the soil. Colloidal mineral supplements, however, can increase vitality and strengthen the immune system because 98 percent of the supplement is incorporated into the body as opposed to the 3-5 percent absorption of standard mineral supplements. Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements details 55 trace elements and their beneficial effects and explains the ideal combinations of colloid supplements to use based on your health concerns.

On Rue Tatin: Living and Cooking in a French Town

On Rue Tatin: Living and Cooking in a French TownIt has been said that food defines a culture. For the French, food is an integral part of their coveted tradition, and Susan Herrmann Loomis's new book On Rue Tatin embraces both. As a young, recent American college graduate, Loomis left the U.S. for France to attend one of the oldest French cooking schools, La Varenne. Her intent was to immerse herself in French cooking with the aspiration of becoming a food critic. Working as the French equivalent of an apprentice, she quickly became intimate with the ways and traditions that define the French culture, specifically its cuisine. On Rue Tatin ("On Tatin Street") is a descriptive narrative of Loomis's first several years in France, her encounters with the local people, and the bonds she formed, as well as recipes she gathered during her time there.

Following her formal culinary training, Loomis returned to the U.S. and met the man who would become her husband. After the couple's first son turned 2, they moved to France where Loomis was determined to launch her writing career focusing on unique aspects of French farming cuisine. She and her husband eventually purchased an old monastery in Louviers in the Normandy region of France. One of the more humorous and memorable stories she shares concerns the landlord of the small rental that they occupied for a year while her husband remodeled the monastery to livable conditions. During that year, the wife of the landlord believed them to be CIA agents and chose to keep a cold distance from the family. Meanwhile the French police suspected them of dealing drugs.

Every recipe featured throughout this memoir comes with an interesting, anecdotal story, and is very much representative of traditional French cuisine. Gateau au Chocolat de Mamy (or Mamy Jacqueline's Chocolate Cake) is a dense, almost death-by-chocolate confection, but served alone or with a fresh fruit coulis, it will bring a smile, as will the sweet explanation of its origin.

Loomis describes experiences and people with much detail, sometimes several times over, and her prose allows the reader to imagine the tempting smells and vivid colors of the countryside. You may find yourself wishing to see pictures of Loomis's home and the quaint village where she lived, but perhaps that was Loomis's intent--she wants to tempt and challenge you to experience the beauty and foods of Louviers and the Normandy region for yourself. --Teresa Simanton

How to convert a USA Gas or propane Grill for use in France


I live in France and when I moved from the us to France, I raised my Grill Weber. In the USA I grilled all Spring, Summer and fall. I was used to having a large courtyard and Barbecue parties. In France, I knew that it would have a veranda so I brought the barbecue.

I went to a shop in the heart of Toulouse called Midica. I think it is generally more expensive than other stores, but since it is in the Centre, where I live, you don't have the drive, and it is easy to get, I went there. I would like to ask how I could change so this will grill USA work with butane irrelevant here in France. I ran a problem. Messieur is competent under the law, bla, bla, bla, and went as all good French.In fact, I said that I'm on handy so I have no problem making a connection with a new hose so that gas could work., the worker must have repeated 10 times that it was French law etc.

It is not simply a mechanical thing; a tube brings natural gas from the magazines for the grid, it is either on or off and the regulatory authority regulates the pressure.Gas Grill is a complex piece of equipment.

Finally, I said, here is my address, because you do not call the police if this will make you feel better, but I will show you where the hoses; he Did so, but in the end he showed me where everything was needed and even told me that he will throw in regulatory authority free if I bought gas bags. Well actually buys gas bags, pay for the contract, which is a deposit, then pay to fill each time. at the end, get your deposit back when you return the cases.

1. Remove hose that connects Grill bags

2. sign up for Convention natural gas at a local hardware store, don't forget the slider

3. buying replacement tubing size for use with new gas bags

4. to buy metal clamps which increase with screws to tighten the tubing

5. attach one end of the tube with the regulatory authority and the other for the grill

6. verify is tight

7. activation of gas bags

8. fire up the grill

9. pray happen no explosions

10. invite your friends to Barbecue party

For my setup images, and more detailed instructions, visit the link in the author's resource box.

Christmas in France-what is a French Christmas Like?


Christmas in France and different Christmas anywhere else and I guess that depends on your source. For me as an Englishman, there are several similarities and, of course, a number of differences.

Similar things would be Bob (Père Noël) everywhere shops suddenly not displaying all the useful things and instead deposit their toys decorated streets lit and that in fact something. appear to be little more than an attempt by the street-lighting; even small villages make the effort in France, which is not common in the UK.

Differences with a French Christmas? This good "is still not quite so commercialized. Christmas doesn't start until December here, that in England the accumulation now seems to begin in September!

There are specific differences. Store local bread (boulangerie) are often open Christmas morning, for example, and Day is not a holiday. Most French is back in the workplace, except for a weekend.

Christmas in France is still quite an important religious holidays and a great family event. French is big in the family.It is very likely to have a Turkey for the main meal, with chestnut stuffing, but equally likely to have a goose or Capon.The big difference with the main food is that it will be for Christmas-Eve evening-and does not start after midnight mass!, although perhaps less French go to midnight mass than they used to, meal (le réveillon-wake up!) continues until the early hours of the morning.

Some parts of France even begun to celebrate the day of St Nicholas ', which is the 6th December, 12th night means nothing; for us is when all decorations ready (or another bad fate), but the French celebrate the arrival of the Kings of the 6 January (Fête des rois) and decorations that seems to stay for weeks and weeks after that.Perhaps it is simply more festive than us!

Of course, Christmas in France will not be complete without the "sapin De Noël-Christmas tree-so we are probably more common than do what separates us. in the new year, Cinco de Mayo celebration is large enough and more communities are invited from large for a glass of something sparkling in the local Hall town or village; there is also a cake with a small charm to it-as well as the coin in a traditional Christmas Pudding-although the cake is usually circular, flat and made puff pastry and frangipane-very sweet.








For more information about Christmas in France and light-hearted but informative view for all things French pop on Frenchlife4real .com. is written by an ex-pat living in English-speaking and working in France full so if they come for holidays or move permanently in France in mind, it is worth reading.


Living in France is making a good decision


One of the most important things to consider when living or re-locating in France understanding of the health system in the country, which could prove vital for keeping you and your family free of the disease. France has an enviable reputation for the quality of health care, but are not free of charge at the time of delivery as the United Kingdom.

The French healthcare service, however, is widely regarded as being one of the best in the world and provides a large number of GPS and specialists.

The social security system taxes employees 20 percent of their salary, a large part of which is in the direction of public health.

La Couverture maladie is

Any legal resident of the country have access to medical treatment under the law of universal coverage is called la Couverture maladie.

Compared with the United Kingdom, there is a huge difference to the quality of care or the cost of treatment will be private, however, allow you to examine immediately and unlike the United Kingdom, you will not have to pay the entire Bill.

Insurance (reliability)

Whether private or public, treatment is free at the time of delivery such as Britain and patients must pay a full bill for a GP or specialist.Approximately 70 percent of the amount in then returned, usually after ten days.

A fundamental principle of health care financing in France is personal contribution and most French people receive health insurance can make a difference between what the State pays and the cost of treatment.

The advantages of learning French in France


There are several advantages of learning French in France, although the most valuable is that they will learn French with a genuine French accent and all the French boilerplate that confuse so many people.

To speak French as the French, it makes sense to learn in France, and while there are many good French language courses in the USA, Canada, in the UK and elsewhere, it is essential that if you want to speak the language, as spoken in France, then you will have a clear advantage if you go to learn this.

There are several courses in the French language which make it possible to learn in the country where he began the language and also to steep yourself in the culture of this country. What better way to learn any language group, meet like-minded people to get together and not only attend together classes, learn about the geography, history and culture of that country together; Learn The position of the European Community, and how people of the euro compared to the franc.

Listen to the music that you listen and watch TV. Eat food, and to learn the actual values that French men and women use when ordering a meal in a restaurant-not just the grammatically correct version of the language taught in schools and most other French courses in your country.

Indeed, if he could French for a few weeks, or even a year-the choice is yours-do you not think that at the end of your studies, you will have a much better understanding of the language and the people who speak for this course; it is certainly better for you to learn how to speak French, such as the French so; however, posed a problem associated with learning any language.

France today is not very different country allotines MOU, which not only has many dialects as likely your country, but these different dialects are also their own vocabulary. discuss accents here, as is the difference between these in Alabama, Boston and the Bronx in France is almost different languages.In the United Kingdom in the closest would be the true dialects Yorkshire and Cornish are so different from each other and usually accepted by English to accent and vocabulary as chalk and cheese.

The French not only discuss the enormous differences between language as spoken in Canada, the Caribbean, Africa and France, but also in France, there are many different languages spoken as Languedocien, Limousin, probigkianoy, Gascon, Lorrain, and, of course, accepted French ' classic '.When living in France to learn the language, you must:

a) to ensure that you learn to ' true ' French, anything else that might b) grateful for the opportunity to learn French various dialects, if you want to do so.

Many may not be interested in learning the local patois, and in any event, it is usually possible to choose to learn in any number of different regional centres; you can then focus on "traditional" French (such as the United Kingdom ' acquired ' English of the BBC as it was once known), or any of a number of different local accents and dialects.

The problem with any language that uses classes in your city these days is that you never know what version your learn. learning to learn French, for example, normally you sign up for a class with little previous knowledge of the language except, perhaps, what you have learned in your Pronunciation school. is desperate, and you will have difficulty making yourself understood in France using regular school French.

This means in reality is that when joined a French class and start learning, then you really have no idea what accent or dialect you learn ... you get what you get, but you don't know what you're either in or later, so to speak, and learning an arcane jargon or a modern Parisian equivalent-to the extent that you do not know!

This leads to an important benefit of learning French in France: your learning the French dialect spoken by your teachers and residents in the localities rely. be sure that it is a working version of the language, and this sounds frivolous, as could be, because many people learning in Los Angeles or Edinburgh find French learned only little understood by real French.

Thus, the benefits of learning French in France are numerous, although the most useful of these is that after you have finished your course, people will understand what you say, and even more importantly, a problem that many people find that they learned in school, you will appreciate your talking in French. listening to always be more difficult, but not if you learn French in France.

Have you been to France?


A friend sent me a postcard from France. The rolling hills of Provence, lush vineyards and charming towers-Yes, I remember it well.

When my husband and I went to France, I packed so much accused attempting to smuggle things at a garage sale.I am a Girl Scout in the heart would be ready.

In order to be ready for the change of time friend advised me to remain vigilant about the flight and go to bed at my usual-Blurry-local time. specifically and exhausted, I collapsed in bed in Paris at 10 p.m., having lost a day-but not my luggage. From 10 a.m. (1 pm PST) the next day he was tempted to call my friend thank her for her advice.

Advice on Hotels that came from a book, but Hotels France is like Hotels everywhere-overpriced and unsuitable. Of course, if I had the right adapter to connect my dryer will not have need of a hotel Electrician to help dry my hair. If he had restrained buying souvenirs, laid-back affair won't have I needed bellboys on my luggage.

Small things, like the corkscrew-shaped like the Eiffel Tower, it was not, however, problems transferring a pillow that looked like a giant Croissant and umbrellas decorated with French fries were problems-for my wedding.

John, I do not think that France was the place to shop for Christmas.John's idea of a souvenir was lingerie of now-gray, during which he had written a laundry hotel name in large, indelibly. If John was given time, I have introduced the French to laundry whiteners and brightened their lives.

In France, our lives were full with quaint buildings, which will be called dilapidated members-and has always been more of a Museum to visit-but not by taxi. French taxi drivers must take their foot off the gas pedal as often as they take their eyes off the road.

I should take my eyes off the sweets, but I couldn't. morning break with coffee and pastry, followed by an afternoon break with wine and sugar confectionery, and, of course, cakes for dessert in dinner-I brought memories of sweet home stack.

Yes, I remember that France. If we go there again, I am sending a postcard for myself this will say, ' wish you were here ".

It is customary to bring a gift such as a plate of cheese, a bottle of wine or flowers when you are invited to dine, drink wine is polite ... and only accompanied a dining experience, not to take centre-stage.

What if you want to be a ' Germany ' instead; it is always fascinating to move to another country, but there are fewer than fun, parties such as the problems you may encounter when you open a bank account or creating a phone line.

When you become a ' Germany ', you will see that there are more than 2500 banking institutions with about 45,000 branches. good thing is that you go to the Bank most popular or greater, such as these are more accessible and have more experience with other ' Germany ', as you do.

Cheap property in France-French Dream properties are still out there


As I write this late spring of 2008 the exchange rate of the dollar and the pound against the euro seems to be settling that little-albeit at around 18% below where it was at the beginning of the year. This, of course, has had an enormous impact on people looking for Cheap property in France.

The good news is that there are still opportunities for French property may seem somewhat longer and work a little harder, but if it is the dream of owning a house in France is still an achievable dream.

As a living in France, I speak regularly to people who are looking for budget French property, usually as a holiday home, but from time to time by a permanent move. There are fewer for around this early part of the year, but they're all concerned about whether they will be able to find something.I now own about one-fifth to spend less than they thought they had Christmas.

Just a quick crop here. spring is truly a great time to view. is not guaranteed what the weather will be like, but because you're less likely to be seduced by the fields of sunflowers that you're more likely to focus on the actual condition of the property.

Anyway, back to our main topic.

Cheap French property is still out there, if you know where to see and if you are willing to be flexible.

I am certainly not claiming that you purchase an old within Turners for conversion or a 1999domestic-cottage-unless you're an experienced builder. The same may be cheap but renovation of an old house in France is not a good reason ... because so many French buy new homes and leave the old us expats-is because new French homes are much more affordable.

I am not saying not to buy an old French home-can be a pleasure-just say be careful renovation.This can easily cost you so much again as the market, or even more in some cases, you know I did this.

What support will be a little less known areas.There are several things that put up house prices everywhere-not only in France-so it appears that avoiding them will put you in a range of more affordable.

When you are near the sea are great.Move further inland navigation and the values start to decline rapidly. Near the mountains, especially of ski resorts, it is also a hot spot and pay accordingly.Similarly, especially with the number of cheap flights now available.

Natural definition Cheap property in France may not be the same as my own and will vary from person to person; if you're from London or New York, most positions in France would seem very accessible (except Paris); in fact, if you're from the UK almost everywhere has properties that are less expensive than at home!, on the other hand, if you're less densely populated areas of the USA you will find prices French House is pretty much what you're used to.

From the moment you are reading this, the exchange rate may be much higher-certainly hope because this will no doubt give you more room; however, France is a great country and if you are willing to do the research and may be a little more flexible option for your domain, and then you will find Cheap property in France is still readily available. I staked a is just right for you!

French kissing-what are the rules about kissing in France?


French kissing-sort the French instead of another kind-just seems to have gotten a bad rap. To listen to people talk this is very safe to go to the public without some French person in a hurry up and plastering your kisses. Male, female, young and old ...

The truth is, as usual, rather less y. fruit!

The French really Kiss friends such as a greeting. Usually two cheek. It is often a kiss air between people who don't know each other very well but close friends to contact. Depending on the region might be two, three or four more and kisses.If you're in an bigish collection this may take a little kiss you!, also, to say good-bye to going home for the night. Kiss women men women men kiss ...

.. but I am very ... very rarely seen men Kiss men, and the usual form of greeting for foreigners, man or woman, is a handshake. kissing is for friends.You do not need to be much more than a casual acquaintance, it is true, but are not foreigners. If you switch to French person and try to kiss for the first time that you will be regarded as a very front, probably rude.

The French are very polite, is that just as with most things in a foreign culture, knowing that the rules for the French kissing is not easy. Best advice is to watch and see what other people.

So in case of doubt, hold your hand! The French always shake hands. I would shake the hand of my friend with the way that someone I know or I meet on the line. Or the mechanic I know in a garage.If someone comes to provide services at home, like the telephone, the delivery of a new freezer or reference to a project building, I will shake their hand always. my wife will.

We will kiss them, regardless of how good looking!

Neither you kiss or shake hands, absolutely every time you encounter, only the first time each day.So if you meet someone in the morning with coffee, the appropriate greeting.If you can see once again that tonight will not normally welcome them again beyond saying hello. Also, if you are in a row, for example, it is common to kiss or shake hands when exiting, but it would be if you were in a person's home for dinner.

Confused yet?, as I said, I'd better track what do other people.Fairly often if you do not have known someone at the beginning of an evening, dinner party, we can shake hands.However, at the end of the evening, if you're relatively well, you may Kiss to say goodnight.

French children appear automatically scheduled to kiss from birth.I remember when we first to live in France to Sat outside a bar and two young children came with their parents. we never had before, but two children came over and kissed us about cheeks Were rather surprised. at the time, but their parents just gave us a friendly smile and a wink. the other we are children come and present a cheek for us to kiss.

I'm not sure that there is a rule for French kissing and you can be assured that once you learn what is normal for a specific region and will change to a different! the secret is to keep your wits about you, learn what is acceptable as noble where you are and, in case of doubt, shake hands. in fact, the secret is to accept as part of that in France and you don't get stressed about this. If you are kissed, that is a compliment-which is exactly what it is.








For more information about French kissing and light-hearted but informative view for all things French pop on Frenchlife4real .com. is written by an ex-pat living in English-speaking and working in France full so if they come for holidays or move permanently in France in mind, it is worth reading.

1. France is the land of equality for all French. Read: If you are French, then is not equal to you., rich foreigners and poor people who are not originally French descent.

2. Cars burn regular daily throughout Ireland-riots or none. Park accordingly.

3. Expect French people to treat you differently and for batches (more than you'd like to think) to cheat you whenever possible.

What can you about this inequality that triggered the France riots .... and accounts for these problems?

Again, 3 things:

1. no homework to know the evolution and the actual price paid for goods and services.

2. to make full use of available resources, such as http://www.frenchpropertyreport.com

3. network with other expats using the many forums, such as [http://www.southernfrenchaccents.com/forums], and to attend group meetings and in France.
