the same day I fell apart again, so I erased the text thinking that I

was another bogus enterer of unproven cures.

Anyway, three weeks have passed since I started with this stuff. I am taking

the Nutana variety of granulated lecithin prepared from soja beans. For

those who do not know about this, it is a substance which seems to be

essential for proper health. I have a book, called, Old Time Remedies for

Modern Diseases, which speaks about the glories of this stuff. I thought I

should try it, but never knew where to get lecithin that wasn`t made from

eggs.

Locan gave me 4 containers of this some weeks back and suggested that I try

it. After examining the different ways they packaged it, I chose the

granulated variety. I think it was a good choice since one can take it less,

it tastes good (a must for devotees!), and it is easy to digest. I gave the

other packages to Brahma-muhurta das and Maha-hari das, who might report

their experiences here. I have been taking it ever since.

The effects are noticeable. The initial effect of physical strength wears

out fast. It is not really meant for physical strength, but rather for

mental strength. Since taking it I can work much longer with the mind

without fatigue. It is quite a great stuff for people who do a lot of mental

activity. I would recommend it to all BBT devotees without reservation.

Actuallu, I would recommend it for all devotees since it seems that our diets

are lacking this. We don`t eat eggs, neither candy, which is another great

source of this stuff. Want to know why you go nuts eating the Danish karmi

noughat and why we cannot reproduce this in our kitchens? Simple, they pack

it full of lecithin which makes that lusty, creamy, gooey, yummy taste that

drives one insane. It is the only difference. Maybe that is why some want

to eat that stuff (not on ekadasi since it comes from soja, and anyway not at

all since it is from karmis and we can make it ourselves and offer it to

Krsna)?

So perhaps we should just get a large quantity of the granulated variety

which also is made with the essential ingredients, cholin, inositol, and a

special kind of cholesterol free fat. Locan might give some more data on

this. I think it will help devotees a lot, especially those who seem weak.

Maybe this is a cause of `older` devotees weakness?

Next text I will speak about the bodily side of the fatigue issue.

Subject: Lecithin (again) and devotee health

------------------------------------------------------------

I got a paper from Gabhiratma, written by a doctor, explaining the advantages

of celibacy. He speaks quite much about lecithin, and says it is one of the

main nourishment of the nervous system and the brain. His point is that semen

contains a lot of lecithin, and if one is celibate, it will be absorbed into

the blood again and nourish the brain.

Subject: Good Food versus Bad Paper

------------------------------------------------------------

As we all know, food imported from these modern European countries is all

grown in the most horrible fashion imaginable. Besides Holland, which grows

all food totally in chemicals on steel springs and blasts them with radiation

so that they almost never deteriorate (and have less than no value as food)

other countries use so many chemicals that there are no vitamins or minerals

left in the food. Picking it green and shipping it for twenty years in gas

containers, the food arrives half rotten.

Why are we kind of half dead by the time the springtime comes? Why are we

full of more life in the autumn through the Christmas marathon? Easy! It is

because we are eating better food in the summertime and thus we get strong

again. During the winter, when we eat only things shipped across the world,

we lose all vitality.

Solution: we should really concentrate on our own farms producing large

amounts of food for the devotees to eat. Forget about selling to the karmis,

just produce for the devotees and ship it. Let the temples pay the proper

price for this, and let the devotees get healthier and stronger so they can

easily support the temples.

I have personally seen that when I take a salad, for example, that was picked

out of the earth at Korsnas ten minutes before lunch, that this salad is so

powerful that it alone can fill one up completely. And it gives physical

strength. Did you ever notice how physical health also gives peace of mind?

We simply
