In our human lives, experiencing this kind of profound emptiness means that like a candle flame gets blown out, our separateness and suffering are blown out.
Andrew Weil, M.D. One of the joys of gardening is the ability to grow vegetables that are difficult or impossible to find in markets - for example, Malabar spinach. Which unusual vegetables do you grow, and why?
Source: www.drweil.com
To be honest, my initial attraction to Malabar spinach (Basella alba), had nothing to do with the edible nature of the plant. I was at a fellow plant-freak's house, and saw one in a pot growing up against a trellis. ...

Source: www.drweil.com
It's difficult for vegans (vegetarians who eat no foods derived from animals, including eggs and milk) to get adequate omega-3 fatty acids from their diets, since the two essential omega-3 fatty acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are most available in fish oil. ...
