Bee and others,

I'm wondering if you can offer me some advice on how to reduce expenses of the

diet such as organic foods (meats, eggs, spaghetti squash, coconut oil) as well

as health products (safe shampoos, cleaners, detergents).

We are struggling financially as a family and I am trying to continue this

healthy way of living but finding it difficult expense-wise.

Is it possible to buy organic meats in bulk somewhere? I am getting organic beef

at the health food store it's really expensive.

I ordered the coconut oil in a large quantity online vs. at the health food

store so I think I saved a little there.

Would really appreciate ideas.

Sincerely,

Dear ,

#1 I haven't been to the doctor for anything since 2005 when I started Bee's

program and this is from a person who regularly went in every week + emergency

hospital visits twice a year! That has definately saved us money and gray hairs.

An easy shampoo is a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water. Work it through

your hair and scalp, rinse and spray with vinegar to remove any residue. Rinse

again.

I use vinegar and baking soda cleanse anything. I also use them alternately in

the drains. For laundry I use washing soda as my surfactant. If you have your

own washer, try soaking the wash for 20 minutes to get it even cleaner. For very

dirty laundry I soak it overnight. BTW, human spit contains lots of enzymes that

can help with blood and grass stains.

My favorite food on this diet is eggs. I easliy use half a dozen eggs for my

morning drink and 3 more for an omlette and/or custard later in the day. Eggs

are the cheapest form of protein. Sometimes I have to buy them, but during

warmer months my chickens supply me with all I need. All those nasty candida

producing foods that other members had to throw away, my chickens eat for me.

They love hotdogs, cooked rice, noodles, bread, corn, yogurt, milk, powdered

milk, canned goods, corn chips and anything else I cannot eat. They happily

convert all that junk food into nutritious eggs for me. They also eat kitchen

scraps, spoiled vegetables, bugs from the yard, weeds and yard waste. Rules for

owning chickens may vary. In the city you have to call them 'pets' and are

limited to owning 6 which would produce 4 to 8 eggs a day. There is a bounty of

information on the internet about raising them and you can even buy live chicks

on the internet. The easiest to raise seem to be Rock Chicks or Rhode Island

Reds. I like my white hens but they don't get along with anybody but me. lol

Hope some of this helps,

Nan
