Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality
How to effectively use colloidal mineral and trace element supplements to compensate for the deficiencies in our diet that cause ill healthâ?¢ 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
It 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.
This is all there is to convert your grill gas USA to work in Europe/France
BBQing happy!

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.
